>Settra is about 400 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by Empire society
>In reality, he is a timeless being existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know his ultimate plan yet. We hope he is a benevolent being.

Tomb Kings more like Unchivalrous Churls LMAO

>Trailer shows Tomb King Chariots ploughing through braced Elf Spearmen
Do you think they'll actually ignore Charge Resistance as a strength or was it just cinematic license

I'm excited to purge Settra for his crimes against the lady!

I wonder if the gold statues Gelt makes with his Final Transmutation ever end up getting picked up by peasants who then end up inflating the economy

nice

Any chance of a new Bret LL down in Araby to fight Tomb Kings?

Probably not, no. There's a better chance of Arabyan race and characters than that.

BK your only anti large. Bold

Literally trickle down economics at work.
>checkmate commies

They're out of characters, they had to make a literally who just to have a third LL
Just go crusading to avenge your people

maybe they'll make joan of arc
probably not

God damn 4 starting LLs?
kek

post results

Why did they make his hat so TINY
I want his real hat back

4 starting LLs. They said they were gonna do it and they did it. I thought they might try and jerk us around by doing 2 TKs and then 2 from different factions and be like "we didn't say it would be 4 just for TKs."But nope, they did it the absolute madmen.

kek

You mean Repanse d'Lyonesse.

>no more Vampiric corruption in the southlands
OH GOD YES

...

Gelt's gold doesn't stick around forever I think, it eventually turns to lead or some such

It's just the angle.

>implying those two faggot VC factions won't still be down there, just with smaller starting areas
Settra has to have somebody to take his land back from

>Arkhan bringing EVEN MORE Vampire Corruption to the Southlands
OH GOD YES

As long as the Black Pyramid and the 10 tile settlements don't pump out a limitless amount of vampiric corruption then I am fine.

Shouldnt Arkhan or Khalida have some level or corruption?
At the very least Nagash's shitty tower will still be down there

...

>tfw AI Settra will get wiped out early on from the Arkhan/Strigoi/Necrarch alliance
I hope there will be a minor TK faction or two to help him out

I hope so
I want his hat to look like this

Khalida gets rid of corruption.

Dang for real I thought the hydras would give you trouble

When will Norsca be added to ME?

faster

March

Never

I thought they would too, it was an ambush and I was able to ram in to them with my blood knights

MAY

BWAHAHAHHAHHHAHAA

>Zero kills on the darkshards and Malekith
Fukin noice.

I know that updates come slowly but damn.
Guessing Kangs won't be in ME right away either?

...

Excuse the stupid question but will Kangz be replacing the vamps in the south of the map or will we still have those strigoi on holiday and other guys?

it says they will be but never trust the CA

They'll be in ME day 1
They just fucked up hard with Norsca and have to essentially re-code everything or something

they MAY be.

Nobody knows. It's a mystery.

We might find out tomorrow in the stream if they do campaign

Just look around you user, the clues are there.

I'm gonna need the full image this time, bird=like beings are my fetish.

Is there anything the Tomb Kings aren't getting in their roster?

What colour are they? There is a big purple blob under Settra that could be them.

Swarms. Bone giants.

?

But you didn’t post Ind.

yes

>be the literal GOLD MAGIC man
>can't turn people into permanent gold statues
what's the point of giving him that Midas-y feel of suffering a tragic accident related to gold if he's not able to turn people into clumps of gold which he can stride past after the battle is over

>men
>best

I liked using cheiroballistra because it outranged hun archers and could do a lot of damage to them. It's your preference though.

The large onager is straight up better than the regular onager so get it.

...

WRONG
The whole point of being the Gold college is taht all of your fully trained wizards can permanently turn things to gold, including their own bodies.

Tomb Swarms are a vortex spell now
We don't know about:
> Tomb Guard (Halberds)
> Ushabti (Great Bows)?
> Necrolith Colossus
> Necrolith Colossus (Bow of the Desert)

We're know we're not getting:
> Liche High Priest lord
> Tomb Herald hero

we wuz kangz and shit

cool that's sort of what I was hoping to use it for, right now my armies are mostly spears and crossbows with a couple cav to protect the box, I should be able to fit it somewhere in the formation to combat the archers that usually harrass your 3 and 9 o'clock i-it's a legitimate strategy

...

i said faster

...

Fuck huns, as long as they horse fuckers die there is nothing wrong with it.

What are the odds Norsca is taking so long because of how it fits into Vortex/ME New World?
Did they confirm there is some sort of coding fuck up that is preventing them from just copy-pasting it? It seems like balance is the only explanation

you were on the trigger with that one

now THIS is podracing

Halberd tomb guard and Ushabti with bows are confimred from screenshot

These are hilarious

Wait whoops.

I just realised I haven't played a High Elf campaign yet. What's the most enjoyable one?

im guessing that there was a fuck up with the book of quests and the new settlement capture options along with the new units that make it hard to copy paste. well i guess the only new units were wulfrik throgg and mammoths. weren't werewolves just ghoul kings?

This is exactly what they confirmed. I doubt they will be in Vortex, but just adding them to Warhammer 2 was not a simple copy paste job like they thought it would be, so they gotta start from scratch.

Do you mean Wood Elf?

youtube.com/watch?v=2-pMw_kiVTA

Why would he?

High Elf. The ones that aren't Wood Elves or Dark Elves.

Javelins were new, as were fimir.

The post implied there were more than one High Elf campaign
Oh he probably meant which Lord

Tyrion for 'fuck the rest of the world, collect Ulthuan'

so you mean like malekith an stuff

I'm posting until we get our promised regimental gangbang

How will CA fuck up this time?

Maybe by not making a Nagash unit at all that appears when Archaeon arrives and just keep spawning Bjornlings instead?

Then they would have to add a new faction like the one we were discussing last thread

Literally make him use the same mechanics of Rogue Armies but with a different banner.

It's not that fucking hard.

It would be the bestest xmas gift ever!

They would need to recolour his units
And add morghasts
And add proper buildings because Nagash would have to be playable
And add his mortarchs
And add spirit hosts

This is the ideal Bretonnian Knight. You may not like it, but this is what peak chivalry looks like.

>Chest unarmoured
>Thighs unarmoured
Weak.

...

Playing a Tyrion campaign and thought I'd ask

Defender of Ulthuan or Bloodline of Aenarion?

Recoloring literally take a few tweaks only.

>because Nagash would have to be playable
That's one of the fucking main problems with TW:W. You have no end boss because you need to make everything playable and balanced. Just fucking make an unplayable units and make it overpowered so you have something terrifying to actually fight in the end game instead of endless chaos meme stacks.

How about you gangbang me, big boy~

Who needs armour when you have the blessing of the Lady?

KANG of Tombsalot

What's her name?

Defender for being a wise and just ruler, Bloodline for RED SUN

>blessing of the Lady
>tfw Grail Knights are actually just cute traps under all that armor

does he expect to go to battle like that, a peasant is better dressed
unchivalrous/10
