I GIB MY BODY
HEART
AND SOUL

anyone here actually play tabletop? what's a tomb kings army going to end up looking like in tww2? the comp I mean, I know they're egyptian skeletons

Why won't this stupid fucking nigger consider anything with me?

Best trailer.

It is because you have ports and he has the sea aggressor trait so he wants to attack them. It is retarded beyond belief. CA are fucking frauds.

TO ZE LADY

WHOM I SEEK

Apparently an option to turn off the sharpening people have been complaining about is in the next patch, which is coming SOON™

the best chariots, decent magic
chariots
mummies
chariots
ancient bone constructs
sphynxs and anubi monstrous infantry
chariots
decent undead archers
more chariots
lots of egyptian themed skelle infanttry
some of the coolest lords in the setting(preference)

>tfw i hate chariots
damn it

what about chariots tho?

>TK get FOUR (4) LLs instead of two, and no dumb minicampaign

Yeee bois

Pretty similar to High/Dark Elves but with more monsters and less emphasis on ranged. Maybe chariots too but nobody actually uses them in TWWH

I made some oc for you guys, I hope you like it.

>be really good friends with a guy
>b-but I liek atytk ports hruffffffffffff

I love this meme in all it's forms, thanks user

>no dumb minicampaign
IF ONLY

>king invites you to speak with him during a meeting
>congratulations, all of your loyalty and dedication is going to pay off, we're assigning you your own city!
>wow!
>get to your new location
>ghost projection of king leans into your ear
>never dance with my waifu again

>sword is flaming, much like himself
FUCKING KEK

So if capturing the shrine of asuryan as a dark elf gives you +100 with all HE factions, what's to stop Malekith from sailing there with a stack on turn 25~capturing it then confederating all of Ulthuan?

I blow my son daily.

Good to hear

Well he doesn't want to trade with you because it's not a balanced transaction. You'd get way more money than him. He also probably doesn't want a military alliance because he doesn't want to get dragged into your wars since you're a an aggressive superpower with grudges against every other motherfucker west of Albion. And if he doesn't feel particularly threatened by you, like he's not on your shitlist, then why would he want a non-aggression pact either? Which might later preclude him raiding your shit when you're weak.

Nations don't have friends, they have interests. They don't (or shouldn't) do things just because they like you, they do things because they stand to gain something. It's not like the game is actually calculating any of this, but it does make sense in a kind of so bad it's good way.

Same

I don't know why I am unreliable honestly. I've never attacked anyone I had treaties with, just had them break them with me

I still remember the absolute fucking hype I got when I heard "Rejoice! For we, the knights of Bretonnia, will be your shield."

They don't actually have the best charriots though, they just had cheap chariots that could form squads.

I expect it'll be represented in Total War by having 6 chariots in a unit instead of 3 but having them be far more squishy.

They got a bunch of cool monsters, they have decent ranged & artillery.

One of their key features is that most of their specialist units can just appear from under the ground in the battle.

I'm hoping they find a way to implement that, which I guess would use the summon mechanic, but summon the actual unit instead of a new unit.

I'm seriously hoping these fuckers and Casket of Souls get it.

These guys turn people who look at them to sand and Casket of Souls would be cool cos there aren't enough magic support units atm.

Why do dragon ogres look so shit in TWW when their art & models look pretty awesome?

It looks like they have weird hammer-halberds instead of actual great weapons.

>use to have lines like "Good luck to you!" "And to you brother!"
>now we have "We control the sky" to constantly remind drooling fucking brainlets that you have more air units

>an enemy mage is casting spells!

>they lack firepower!

This is... this is good stuff CA... really good...

...

reminds me
>play DElves
>hear them say "Atharthi, this is for you!"
Who is Atharthi? Some god?

>9 out of every 10 mortal empires campaigns will have Skavenblight destroyed by spaghetti-slurping southerners

gorebeast chariots will be the best forever

>Skaven routing
>"Shameful-shameful display"
The meme is strong

Doubt it. Tilea and Estalia already get gangbanged most campaigns in WH1. It'll probably be the other way around.

>Have no air units
>Have numerous archers
>Enemy has one unit of harpies
>"THEY HAVE CONTROL OF THE SKIES HOLY FUCKING SHIT WE'RE SO FUCKED RUN AWAY FUCK"

The models have those weapons as well

...

How can he order his units to charge if he always autoresolves?

The fact you can't confederate factions you don't share an army list with.

Did Chadlis beat Malekith?

How will Tyrion ever recover?

Can someone explain this meme to me? Is it ironic? I don't fucking get it.

Those look like great weapons user, the weapons in game have a huge handle that's like twice the size of that.

Yeah, as far as I know he is the only guy to beat him in a 1 on 1 magic duel.

Goddess of desire. The pleasure cults either worship her or pretend to.

>has never seen the diplomacy menu
this one got me

There's a lot you probably don't get you autistic furryfag

CA I NEED IT NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

Retarded unfunny forced meme

Warhammer 1 endgame is so fucking boring and sluggish.

All you do is chase down chaos plebs from one end to the other end of the map.

I'm hoping Patch 1 also has something to stop frames taking a shit whenever you zoom into plagueclaw projectiles or dragon's breath

WH2 isn't that much better

its super barebones and it still has chaos niggers that are just annoyances rather than an actual challenge

>He lets the warriors of chaos out of Kislev.

Pleeeeeeeeb.

Lurk more

>not calling it quits the moment you kill Archgayon
A big battle with him is the definitive way of ending the game. If some fucking Chaos stack is still running around I just ignore it.
CA needs to fucking release ME already, it's apparently just regular sandbox conquest. Although Chaos invasion is apparently present "in some form".

They made final battles for every faction probably

Just fucking kill them. You even get an achievement for taking Sartosa.

>Game 3 is End Times

Memes aside I do seriously recommend you try and play total war as a tactical skirmish game, it's pretty fun and will push your command abilities to the next level.

Well, Chaos is tweaked but they will still appear. Would be retarded if a whole race is removed from the campaign because some people don't like them

Would he even have a dick? Thought he was like Warhammer Darth Vader and couldn't actually leave his armor for anything

>unreliable

you should have rolled skaven you two faced cunt

They aren't doing end shit tho

>anyone can see that the races in 3 are gonna be the bottom of the barrel stuff
>they actually fucking do the game with four deamon factions only, with Ogres, Chorfs etc as DLC

I'd laugh my ass off.

Found a neat way to use skavenslaves.
Why have clanrats or stormvermin be delayed by setting up ladders when you can have them do it for you?

Seen screenshots of people doing this. Can't confederate with HE's, but they will be quite willing to trade/ally etc. You can ofc try to get in there early and try to confederate the DE's on Ulthuan.

HOLA!

S K I N K S

I doubt they'll do it, no one would buy it. I REALLY hope that Daemons just get god related LLs, not 4 different races.

Nothing. Actually this is weirdly enough kind of what happens in the End Times.

Have any of you looted any cool artifacts?

see

At launch it'll be Cathay, Kislev, and Chaos divided.

>1500 vs 1800 battle
>Lose 42 men
>AI loses close to 1100
>Close Victory

Soon

>le cyka blyats
>le mongol shreks
>le edgy murderbeasts
>le edgy manlets
Would you buy game 3 with these trash tier races?

Yes

>female Dreadlord
>TORMENT AWAITS
>GO, KILL
>CREATE CHAOS
>I SHALL DESTROOOY
Calm down bitch

Heroic victories are for when you're heavily favored to lose, but still win. 1500 vs 1800 is pretty even, even if you shitstomped him it is not very heroic.

'Close' isn't the word I would use to describe it, they should just make a general 'Victory' for when its even and you win.

Ogres and Chorfs seem different and fun, so yeah

>Cathay on launch
>Chaos Divided
Hook me up with your crack dealer f a m

>le edgy murderbeasts
>le slob sickos
>le fancy faggots
>le sociopathic nerds

I'll be buy it but not at full price. Just like I did with 2

>high elf Princess
>... victory for the Asur :)

>implying they'll do god races
Lmao

I like Chorfs out of the races the most. Setting up a superior train network like you are Prussia versus puny Austrians sounds so fucking cool and unique to total war so far

Is that a bulge between those legs?

>Asur lady :D

Google would be your crack since CA wanting to do Chaos divided is something that has been known since the beginning. And Kislev is too shitty and boring in itself as enemies of Chaos, they need something to actually generate hype, and finally seeing a Cathay roster is just that.

>Easily beat 2 stacks of Skaven slave tier shits with my half stack of elite high elf units
>Heroic victory
I agree though. I think the earlier games had something called "average" or "decisive" victory. I wonder why they dropped it.

>unique to total war so far
I take it you haven't played FOTS?

There still is a decisive victory.

I still think Cathay should be the 4th race while Kislev is WH1 pre-order bonus

Decisive victory is still in, I just got one. Wouldn't surprise me if average is still in too but the result calculation or whatever is too fucked so no gets any

The train tracks haven't had an impact on battles so far is what I mean. It would be cool if you could reinforce yourself in battles by unloading incoming troop transport trains behind enemy lines

>muh leak
Are you serious? After all the times it has been incorrect you still think it reflects their current plans?

There is? I could swear i haven't seen a single one in Warhammer 1. Then again it might be because the AI just runs away from me unless they have overwhelming odds to win.

>muh pipe dreams
Only timings and formats have been incorrect and you still think it doesn't reflect their plans?

>BestiGOR
>UnGOR
