Any point is posting that pic?

>Lizardmen, Skaven, Bretonnia

>Two new factions from the sequel and one that recently got reworked

>need updates badly

Call me when they make Chaos Warriors not a complete afterthought.

Are any of the audiobooks good? I.E with appropriate voices and sounds and ambience etc?

>>16370537

They're okay, you can check youtube for some of them.

>>16370537

There's a pretty hilarious one starring Orkz, but I can't remember the name for the life of me.

>>16370563

Prophets of Waaagh most likely

TiqTaq'to is honestly disappointing as a lord.

No mounts, Shit Armor, Shit Health. The most squishy LL I've ever seen.

Should have either added Nakai or Gor-Rok if they were just going for a cheap re-skin.

The best option would have been for them to add a Troglodon as a Dino and mount. Since modders have already made Gor-Rok and Nakai.

The Skaven half of the DLC is fantastic, and makes this DLC worth the price by itself.

However, I think the amount of content is a bit disappointing considering we've waited nearly 5 months for this update.

>Finally get the DLC.

>Cult of Sotek. Initial challenge, REALLY HARD

Fuck. I only went into the game recently, done mazdamundi in Vanilla, and then in Grimhammer 2 Tomb Kings and Tyrion, and the later was using easier campaign mod; And all of that campiagns werein difficult (deafult one). How hard is playing Sotek for the first time? Any advise or tip?

When are we getting an Inquistor RPG where we go around rooting out heretics however we wish, radical or puritan, loud or quiet, etc?

When are we getting a Raven Guard or Salamander game? What about a World Eaters game?

>>16370050

>raging psychopath

Fuck you, the Templars are too busy channeling their anger towards enemies of the imperium instead of bitching and moaning about muh honor and fighting defensive wars.

>>16370519

Only in the next game, they even teased it saying it would be absolute chaos I'm more pissed off by the fact that they still haven't added Gor Rok, Estalia, Kislev and/or Araby

>>16370930

Basic as fuck and janky ass M&B, can be enjoyable but don't expect anything polished or balanced.

>>16371124

If ogres have a lot of armor, health and some kind of special rule even if spear men have bonus to large they would probably still mop up.

>>16371147

They'll probably get some sort of retarded charge bonus which could be good

>skaven underempire can expand itself

I'm currently turning the desert into a food farm after ferrying a doom engineer over. It's quite neat and while the initial cost exists, it does pay for itself, even ignoring the food you get. Meanwhile I'm just fucking around in the jungle and somehow befriend pirates and dark elves.

>>16371124

Ward saves out the ass probably.

>>16371059

I think Araby will be the last DLC faction for WaWa 2. Kislev will probably be a game 3 faction. The Southern Realms might be the game 2 freeLC like Bretonnia.

dark crusade titanium war mod was solid experience but stronghold siege mission balance was way too off. Original tau stronghold's magical kroot carnivores out of nowhere was annoying too but plowing through plague marines/noise marines/rubric marines/world crusher/bloodthirstier/whatever chaos demon every 5 fucking minutes backed with global warp storm was impossible.

In the end I had to cheat by reducing cooldown of my own global ability is tau orbital artillery still canon?

Anyone beat the entire campaign as it was balanced by grumbling orc? How the hell did you pull it off?

Is there any way to pirate the DLC for Total Warhammer II with a legit copy of the base game?

im pumped for necromunda.

>>16373396

Well, I was recently at a birthday party for my friend's one year old daughter. The actual birthday was a few days before the party. They had given her a cupcake with a candle, and being a clueless baby, she grabbed the fire. And wouldn't you know it, when they brought out another cupcake with a candle at the party, she was absolutely fucking terrified of it.

Marketing executives are far more retarded than infants, so it may take a while, unfortunately.

>>16373454

>They'll run into the same problem as comic books did, it gets to a point where no new costumers are buying their product because they are put off by all the leftist bullshit.

They solved problem with new customers via gateway drugs. Everything works with everything now and you can start playing after investing 50$. But to win you will need to invest 500$. And after investing 500$you will have to keep doing it.

Compared to giant fuckup of AoS its fucking nothing.

>>16372069

I really wonder if they'll go full Chaos Divided in WaWa 3 or if we're getting Chaos Dorfs, Ogres, Cathay and something else.

Cathay makes even more sense since they can just reuse assets from Three Kingdoms.

they should have both those things

>>16373538

Honestly I think a decent vidya for any similar tabletop would blow GW and 40k out of the water.

Imagine a decent quality game for Infinity or something.

Actually yeah, where the fuck is my Infinity vidya?

I like how games for old world still release a lot and they are popular yet no one does anything for AoS.

>>16373538

That decline is why they are desperately going for the gaming market, which they should have been building up in a bigger way long before now. There was such potential in both fantasy an 40k for tons of smaller stories. Unfortunately, it is a bit too little, too late, especially with them fucking up a lot of what people like about 40k.

>>16373694

>>16373748

It's quite ironic that Warhammer Fantasy got a fuckton of visibility from vidya, yet it's only after they've burned it all to the ground.

>>16374040

Somebody is working hard on it.

>>16370519

I hope it will be possible to do some mega-confederation shit for Chaos (and maybe other factions too) so that you can get units from Norsca, Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos, Daemons and Chaos Dwarfs all in one campaign.

>>16373305

knifears wont be happy getting bogged down by gnoblars acting like vampire zombies before getting thick green ogre cock rammed into their flanks

>>16374126

>It's quite ironic that Warhammer Fantasy got a fuckton of visibility from vidya, yet it's only after they've burned it all to the ground.

I don't know about that, plenty of longbeards will have swarmed to the vidya after the Age of Smegmar fuckup just to get something of a semblance of the beloved Old World. I should know, I'm one of them.

>>16374320

arent elves isolationists?

The Bretonnia rework is decent. It's way easier to quickly confederate and then you're basically free to do whatever you want to raise chivalry.

>>16370009

Why does everyone play DoW2. I thought DoW was better?

>>16374489

>everyone's a shill

Welcome, newfag, to the internet.

>>16373694

Yeah, well the Old World was interesting and Smegmar isn't. Makes it pretty obvious which would be better to set a game in.

The old world is dark and gritty and filled with magic and fantastic creatures, but it's still grounded in reality. Fucking literally since it's basically an alternate earth. You can have stories of lone heroes struggling against overwhelming odds and triumphing or stories about armies clashing on the field of battle. What does Smegmar offer? Their poster boys are faceless !Not-Space-Marines and the "world" is described as nigh infinite, which just means there's no reason to give a fuck over any particular patch of dirt or shit-stained settlement. Smegmar setting centered around gods and that just isn't as compelling as the Old World being centered around men. Or dwarves. Or orcs. But not elves. Fuck elves.

What I'm surprised about is that there hasn't been a single player RPG set in the Old World yet. Drop the player in some imperial city and have them uncover a chaos cult or some vampire up to no good.

The update broke the mod manager again and is full of bugs. What a surprise. Certain vows don't work, Forbidden Workshop upgrades are actually downgrades…

>>16373427

>why is nobody calling them out on it

Because then the CEO could be liable if the next idea fails. Everyone is covering his ass in these corporations, and the best way to cover your ass as CEO is to hire an expert to make decisions in his field, and the best way for an expert to cover his ass is to make decisions solely based on state of the art academic research, and the best way to cover your ass as an academic is to try really hard to stick to the party line which is "progressivism good".

Thus nobody is at fault while everyone makes retarded decisions. Bonuses all around.

Still waiting for a WHFB CRPG (Diablo clones don't count) or FP dungeon crawler.

If none gets announced before DFUnity gets to Beta, I may just start a total overhaul.

>>16377459

This. The moment you are in a position of making any sort of decision in a corporation, half your job becomes protecting your ass. Making sure the paper trail leads to someone else if shit fails, ensure you are responsible for absolutely nothing if shit hits the fan. The easiest way to do that is delegating the decision to someone else somehow, such as asking for "expert opinion"

>>16377270

>What I'm surprised about is that there hasn't been a single player RPG set in the Old World yet. Drop the player in some imperial city and have them uncover a chaos cult or some vampire up to no good.

Probably because GW was really greedy with their license before and now no one wants to bother. And how you even make AoS vidya? Its fucking formless lands with random copyrighted names for everything. And you have to pay GW to use their retarded names no one likes.

>>16377473

>Probably because GW was really greedy with their license before

Makes me sad because their headquarters and largest store is hosted in my hometown, seeing them get worse and worse over the years

>>16377473

>And how you even make AoS vidya? Its fucking formless lands with random copyrighted names for everything.

Procedural generation, obviously.

>>16377327

All I hope for is a release that doesn't crash your game if you press the "end battle" button too fast.

>>16377950

>Defensive

>Reliable

>Underdog

lel

How'd you get so many trade partners? All mine do is loose connection to me and then die three turns later

>>16373380

>I've heard is that marketing executives, the retards that they are, look at twitter and see it saturated with progressive socjus bullshit and think that it's what people want.

Has anything ever fucked up as many franchises/industries as Twitter. Twitter may be the worst thing to happen to society as a whole in this Millennium aside from the "War on Terror". I'm dead fucking serious.

>>16374514

i like the coh cover mechanic but other than that yeah for sure.

maybe they have some good custom maps nowadays.

I wish there was a reliable way to play pirated Total Warhammer multiplayer.

>>16377964

I never paid attention AIs on campaign, how are particular factions doing? In my first run (Vortex), as Kangz, quarter of the Ulthuan has been conquered by Norsca and Sartosa by 50th turn. Kinda sucks, since I don't really have anyone else to trade with yet, seeing how Dark Elves are too far up their own asses and I will conquer all other kangz, so it's useless to make treaties with them.

>>16378026

>Twitter may be the worst thing to happen to society as a whole in this Millennium

More like social media on a whole

>>16377513

What is this? A standalone game or a mod for something?

>>16378199

No. Twitter has ruined a great many things outside of just "social media". It's ruined politics, journalism, movies, video games, and much much more. It's so cancerous.

>>16378199

I meant that social media on a whole has been the worst thing to happen to society this millennium

>>16378466

was meant for >>16378425

>>16378466

corruption and deception are far older than twitter or social media

I'm pretty bad at the campign part of Total Warhammer. Only race I've done okay with was Empire in one, amd even then I about crumpled when entire stacks of rock throwing dick bags showed up.

I'm decent enough at the actual battle part I feel, but the map stuff fucks me. Hard to get an area where I'm not being attacked from every side, the enemy garrison + army is usually insane. I think I've got an advantage and declare war only for a full stack to drop on every enemy settlement the next turn. I feel like you're supposed to be slow, but the Vortex thing really creates pressure and I have no idea how to manage that shit.

>>16378515

I'm the opposite, I just can't build an army or use ranged (especially low-arc gunpowder) troops effectively.

Probably should just play vampires…

Have you tried playing a horde?

>>16377819

>pre nerf chaos patrols

Really wish they'd bring those back. Patrols used to actually be a threat. Something to tiptoe around and make sure you avoid engaging. Now it's easier and faster to just kill them.

>>16378026

>>16378199

>>16378425

He means social media as a whole has fucked society. I'm inclined to agree. Twatter may have done the most damage to things like discourse, politics, and marketing, but you can't ignore how much Faceberg has fucked the world.

>>16378533

For the life of me I cannot fathem doing things just so you can take images of them and then upload them for the world to see.

It's like someone wanting to make their own diary, except it's public.

Anyone play the card game?

>>16378515

Try the dwarven campaign. Lots of limited paths due to the terrain, you only ever really have to defend one town to the north, two in the northern east part, one in the south-eastern part, and whatever your current frontline against the orks is (shouldn't be more than two towns either, thanks to the desert). Garrison as many of these towns as possible and keep 2-3 mobile armies (mid-game) for wherever you currently wish to push. Avoid as many equal engagements as possible, conserve troops as best as possible, try not to charge the enemy but bring long-range artillery to let them attack. As long as you conserve troops, you'll win the campaign. Pyrrhic victories are your loss because the AI cheats when it recruits.

>>16377467

>This. The moment you are in a position of making any sort of decision in a corporation

This is true for even small companies at the lowest echelons when your shit can get fucked by rng and other people.

>>16378515

Build defence buildings everywhere that's not 100% secure, preferably upgraded. Coasts, borders with hostile or weak neighbours aren't secure. Build economy buildings everywhere, too, you always need money.

>>16378515

My Vodka just reminded me that there's some gamebreaking that can be done.

I remember a few:

>Kangz free building

With a mix of some dynasty (3rd I think) and a lord carring about 7 nectotecs around that have the bulding cost reduction traits and skills you essentially build instantly and for free. Especially silly since recruiting is free too so you pretty much eliminate money. The army isn't even that shit since necrotects can at least slap some infantry.

>Kangz level 9 recruiting

Their Liche Priests can have a trait that boosts the level of recruited units by one, there's a research and also a skill. With 2-3 priests you recruit level 9 units.

>Around High Elves, watch yourselfs

There's multiple ways to fuck with them and they all build down to heros too.

A bunch of handmaidens gives you all the growth you ever need, a bigger bunch of nobels manes free 1 turn buildings and boosts income to the point you might as well be playing kangz without the unit number restrictions.

>>16379219

Here's an exploit for the Vampire Counts that was discovered almost at launch for Wawa1

>Death is cheep, or: How I learned to stop worrying and raise the dead

Play Mannfred, beat back the hostile VC army like you and lay siege to their settlement like you normally would, but be sure to raise a bunch of trash units in to your army, maybe raise a second army and fill it with trash mobs as well to be extra sure about what happens next. When you're ready, attack the settlement and make sure to take as many casualties as possible. All those trash mobs that you recruited? Make sure they all get destroyed to the last corpse, keep only your lords and a handful of units alive.

When you win the battle and return to the campaign map you'll find that you now have a great battle sight and, if you did this right?

You'll be able to raise death guard, black knights, hordes of cannon fodder, and various monsters for a cheeper cost than recruiting them normally, without having to wait to end a turn or multiple turns to recruit them, AND YOU AREN'T EVEN 10 TURNS IN TO THE CAMPAIGN YET

Hell, I'm pretty sure I was once able to raise Terrorgheists through this method. This completely breaks the early game in half as none of the factions around you will be able to build anything to counter your armies yet and you'll be free to expand in any direction you want, by the time your enemies can build anything that might be able to beat your armies it'll be too late- you'll have a large empire and industrial base well before the mid game and the game might as well be god mode by that point.

In theory, you could recreate this method with other Vampire Counts and Vampire Coast factions but its insanely easy to do with Mannfred and can be done right off the bat.

>>16380853

While I can't play kangz on my family's shitty laptop, I play cunts in wawa 1 on my yet shittier PC and I just discovered this. Holy shit, what the fuck?

>Von Carsteins have a "hard" start

>roflstomp western sylvania

>mannfred and another army come to one of the towns and do nothing, just wait

>assassinate him with one of the two starting vampires, good riddance

>attack the other guy, make headless army reinforce

>UNPARALLELED PRACTITIONER

>and also I started with 3 vargheists and 4 bats, so the enemy's got "attacked from the rear" penalty pretty much all the time

>how the fuck can I recruit even more vargheists.jpg

>siege mannfred to shit, vampires gone by turn 20

>smash what's remaining of Templehof by turn 25

>go about smashing stirland

>defeat one of their armies (20 unit stack), no cool units to raise

>rebels spawn, defeat like 4 spearmen and 4 swordsmen

>vargheists, ghouls, horrors, black knights out of the ass

I'm not sure if there's any point in building all the recruit buildings, if I can just raise all the cool shit out of the ass. I'm considering farming rebels, too.

>>16380853

Sounds like this works great for the Vampirates too. Nice idea.

But how would you ensure your army dies and you still win?

>>16382006

Well, I did say keep some units alive; fight the battle normally until its clear that you are going to win no matter what then start feeding the enemy army one unit at a time to increase your casualties and after you've made the battle a complete blood bath wipe out what's left of the enemy with the units you choose to keep alive.

This is easy with Mannfred because in a siege battle the AI will always keep a few units in the back that you can sacrifice a few units to before finishing them off and you don't have to worry about whether or not your surviving army can destroy the remaining enemies because you start off with a Varghulf, the only thing that can take it down would be skelly spears but those are in short supply and you can always back it up with infantry and Mannfred himself is quite powerful in melee.

>>16382006

>>16382080

There's also a general version (I guess), but it requires more effort. Bring two armies. Attack with a stack of 19 zombies, support with an actual army or an all attack army (you don't have to worry about your frontline if literally half your forces are zombies). Keep both of your lords alive so that you don't lose too much. I guess that later on you can also bunch your zombies in one place and then vortex them to kingdom come. Works best against garrisons, since they can't refuse to fight you, no matter how weak they are.

>>16377940

They are called godmachines for a reason.

Does anyone want to play Vermintide 2 with me? All my friends quit playing and randoms are fucking useless most of the time.

>>16377940

what game is this?

>>16382278

Ive had lots of successful legend runs with pubs, its much easier than before

>>16382590

>elffags are NTRfags

at last I truly see

>>16382423

Looks to be an Arma mod

>>16382980

I don't get it

>>16382988

As in they'll probably fucked half the town everytime you go out for groceries.

>>16382980

I don't understand the joke in that image.

>>16383012

I think it's that the goblins raped them but it was okay cause the adventurer is a fag and into traps.

>>16383018

You sure that it isn't reference to the beginning of Skyrim?

>>16383012

The joke is I didn't check the picture before posting and didn't realize they were trap gobbos.

>>16383020

The joke is from the Goblin Slayer anime.

In the first episode three girls get raped (by gobos) two dying and the other one surviving but being so mentally damaged she gets carted away in shock like that in a scene.

>>16383005

That's why you keep your goblins on a leash. And armbinder. Suspended from the ceiling.

Blindfolded.

And gagged just to be safe.

>It's the goblinposters that invite faggotry

Of course.

>>16383128

I fucking wish I could.

>>16373343

It is the klangest thing ever done.

Gameplay wise it's a bit too easy (but then you're rolling in with tech priest from the Auxilia Myrmidon which in universe are typically a fabricator bodyguards, and gonna be able to fuck up anything short of a Titan, so it's ok for them to not have too much problem obliterating Nucrons. You use Skitarii, servitors and other battle automata as fodders) but it's up there with Battlefleet Gothic/Vermintide for nailing the fucking universe down to a Θ.

>>16383018

>>16383012

>>16382988

There's a scene in Goblin Slayer, after the namesake slayer and waifugirl clear a cave of goblins, all the women being kept as sexslaves can be seen recently freed being hauled off in carts naked covered by those cloaks. Looking all disheveled and haunted and drama and shit. Anon's picture is joking that instead of male goblins, all the goblins are lewd female goblins, and as such captured and raped men instead. Male adventurer, however, seems pretty OK with this is bottom right, suggesting perhaps he was having a good time. The humor is derived from the amusing double-standard of male-on-female and female-on-male rape, and subverting the expectation that while he should be upset of being sexually abused, he is, in fact, not.

>>16382590

Last time I checked Dwarves had vaginas as well

>>16383401

The goblins are not girls, they're traps. There's a masculinity symbol after "goblins" which makes it clear. Another hint is how flat the middle one is.

>>16383425

Have you forgotten what year it is, anon?

>>16383306

I wonder, If goblinslayer was literally exactly excactly the same exceot for having rape scenes, would you even be aware of its existance?

>>16383477

The anime gain major boost because of that scene and also thanks to shrieking anime eceleb and "journalist" condemning rape on 2d character.

But after that it fall to another generic isekai harem shit.

>>16383632

>treefucker

>in Norsca

>implying he didn't plan for pic to happen

>>16383477

It was an alright show.

>no Inquisition cRPG

>no Titan mech sim

>no Deathwatch sRPG

>no Imperial Guard RTT

>no Rogue Trader game similar to Space Rangers

Why must we suffer?

>>16383773

>Why must we suffer?

Because you forgot the orky GTA and the wacky grimdark™ mario kart clone.

The fuck is the difference between an Update and "FreeLC"? The fucking audacity of these CA cunts to act like they are so fucking generous when you have to spend hundreds of fucking dollars just to buy both games and play of all the DLC. Watch when they make WH3 they have it to where you have to own all 3 games to play the entire map (like mortal empires)

>>16380853

You would think that they would take into account not just numbers, but the quality of the units that died. I'm sure if you were to end up in Skaven or Tomb King lands the area would be teeming with those battle sites.

>>16384127

He fix.

>>16384127

U fix

Good work

>>16383860

FreeLC is basically shit they wanted to release as DLC and then probably thought back to the fact that Warhammer 1 had you pay for gore and blood and decided they'd make it free to avoid a shitstorm.

I really wish we'd get a good Total War clone to drive CA into the ground. They've been garbage for the past decade now and it's only going to get worse.

>>16383632

>>16383682

>>16383696

Thanks mate.

>>16385115

Im pretty sure there is also one with beastwomen but cant find it.

>>16382582

Dont get me wrong, I have won games with randoms before, but the rate of success is still not very high. I would prefer to have a group I can communicate with who are of a known skill level and work as a team.

>>16385168

You wouldn't even need all that. Imagine your some poor shit on a large Imperial space ship, and you accidentally get lost in the lower decks of a large Imperial spaceship. The place has been quarantined ever since a particularly nasty "accident" during warp travel, and now you have crazed survivors, malfunctioning servitors, and god-emperor knows what running around. If ship security officers show up because it's getting too noisy down there, they will merrily shoot you on sight because you're not where you are supposed to be and probably a heretic, too.

>>16378320

Arma 3's mod "There is Only War". It has tons of playable vehicles and troops you can choose, along with 3 maps.

>>16382423

Arma 3 "There is only War" mod.

>>16385375

Or more simple, Gellar Field failure during warp travel.

>>16386167

Really, any situation involving Chaos is bound to degenerate into survival horror pretty quickly. Nids and Dark Eldar too, really.

Hell, you could likely make a pretty decent Souls clone out of franchise, or something like Diablo (and not that Inquisition clusterfuck that got released recently). It's a testament to the current state of the gaming industry that despite GW giving away the license for pennies (because they're desperate for money) few are making good games.

>>16386197

>or something like Diablo

Actually that would be a great WAAAAAGH game if you scale up the number of enemies a shitton. Like playing a warboss and spearheading the war, imagine this, diablo on crack, you gotta kill fast otherwise those gits following will start stealing your kills.

>>16386522

That does sound great, fund it

>>16386522

Now that I think about it, an Ork Pikmin game would also be hilariously fun.

Emperor's Children game where your objective is to give the entire galaxy your geneseed when?

>>16386748

>wanting to play as the pozz legion

But why?

>>16386768

See that hive world? I want to fuck its women.

See those eldar? I want to fuck their women.

See those SoBs? I'm going to fuck them.

See that titan? I want to fuck it.

See those nids? I'll give them something to eat.

>>16386785

If I wanted to play as a faggot I'd just play Eldar.

>>16386790

But what if I want to play as a superhuman musclebound nonfaggot? Knife-ears aren't swole enough for the fantasy.

>>16386798

>But what if I want to play as a superhuman musclebound nonfaggot?

Play a Black Templar and help make the galaxy a better place.

>>16386785

>>See that hive world? I want to fuck its women.

>>See those eldar? I want to fuck their women.

>just the woman

That's not how Slaanesh rolls

>>16386801

Well then give me a black templars game, GW.

>>16386805

Can you imagine how much butthurt a game based on the most xenophobic, most religiously zealous bunch of space marines around that go on crusades genociding shit and their symbol is a black cross would generate?

>>16386816

Butthurt begets rage. Rage leads to Khorne.

Asshurt regarding the Templars is heresy.

>>16386833

I wish more of the 40k fluff would emphasize how completely fanatical Imperials are. Instead, the religious nature of the Imperium is barely ever touched upon likely because most writers are fedora tipping soycucks.

>>16383380

thank you

>>16383578

they fucked up the voices and music in the anime, changing the tone of scenes to be waaah saaad instead of the metal scenes they should have been

>>16386785

I don't think you're getting what Slaanesh is about…

Is Deathwing worth playing?

>>16388541

Not before we get our Monkey Island style Ork adventure. Complete with Ork "logik" to solve riddles.

>>16389165

>Giving a shit about Slaaneshmas when you could be praise-loving Great Horned Rat Day

I would kill to see Skaven included in WH40K

>>16386855

Read the imperial infantryman’s guidebook. It’s really well written. What we need is an Inquisition game that takes place in an underhive where rape and pillaging happens as often as normal people bathe or brush their teeth. Would be nice to see Necromunda elements as well

It's because it was a great setting. Problem was that the core game it was based around was generally less played than 40k.

This was because WFB was extremely expensive once you realized how the game was best played (lots of core units with a few key special/rare units to fill in the gaps on your weaknesses).

As GW got more expensive, the fantasy game became harder and harder to get into. But instead of reducing the purchase price of core units by either adding more infantry to a box, or by simply reducing the price, they figured it wasn't popular and killed it.

I still insist that WFB didn't need to be nuked. They should have instead released the Age of Sigmar rules and kept the world it was all set in. The old fags then could have been kept happy with updates to the classic rules or something, while they pushed the AoS game.

Instead they killed the setting, deleted a number of armies entirely, and finally came out with a whole new army no one asked for (designed specifically to play off the popularity of space marines in 40k).

It is ironic that vidya brought the setting into the modern era, and I take a little pleasure in knowing that they're probably still kicking themselves for pulling the bullshit they did.

sadly its skirmish only, but there is a mod that lowers the ship count/number so that you can have massive battles on campaign and adds customized ships (reskins mostly for some factions needing certain ship type)

Is the singleplayer campaign worth a pirate for BF2? I didn't particularly enjoy the first, with how random the same few recycled mission types felt.

Also I'd really like to play the eldar in a non strategy game. Their descriptions in the Night Lords trilogy were breddy cool.

>>16400486

I always considered the Eldar very boring since they seem like generic magical bleeding-heart elves stuff. How wrong am I?

>>16401518

Craftworld is pretty much as you describe.

Dark Eldar are your generic dark elves, "torture and enslave all the lesser races" sort of deal, though I will admit they are the most interesting out of all the Eldar.

Harlequins are weird, because they are clown elves that worship a clown god.

certain characters are pretty cool, Eldrad, Vect, the Phoenix Lords.

>>16390385

Skaven cannot into space.

>>16401518

Having read the Path of the Eldar Trilogy just now, you do describe the craftworlds, though the bleeding heart stuff does stem mostly from the fact that they're stuck on a spaceship for eternity even after death so getting along is somewhat important. Some hate it and do fuck off to be pirates and such, those behave more normal if you will.

On that note however, the anger and bloodlust they suppress eventually comes forth and they become aspect warriors. Even those act eldar most of the time, but in battle all that drops and they become one with Khaine. Still bleeding heart, but now it's yours that's bleeding.

They they pussy up, repress all those memories and only remember them the next time they fight.

Well, except for when they become exarchs, then they are actually decent beings who like to fight. Also all other eldar, including the dead, hate and avoid them.

Dark Eldar are the massive edgelords you'd expect

Can you spot what they all have in common?

They're all fanmade?

>>16402621

Abnett's no good? Gaunt's Ghosts is one of the series that gets recommended to me most often. I bought the first one and only barely got through it simply because I found it so uninteresting, but what has he done as far as raping the lore?

Part of the reason I wanted to start reading books was to actually get into the lore, so I definitely want to avoid anything that contradicts it.

>>16402681

Early Abbnet is ok. Really drank the kool aid later

>>16402648

>They're all fanmade?

Fan made content for 40k is typically way superior to anything shat out by GW especially the BL.

>>16402681

You want a good 40k story, there are BOOK SIZED Stroy Tiem made by fa/tg/uys, that are creative retelling of their own campaigns.

The AGP being the most famous:

http://www.theallguardsmenparty.com/zerg.html

Which has the name implies is what happens when average guardsmen end up in the inquisition auxiliaries.

Deffwotch being the most funny:

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Deffwotch

Which is about how a bunch of orks once tricked the imperium into thinking they were spess muhreens.

And of course 50k: "The Shape Of The Nightmare To Come".

Which is what an actual evolution of the setting would look like and unlike the others is in a proper grimdark tone.

Warhammer Underworlds Online is announced

Nice way to atract people to Age of Smegma, Games Workshop. Then again, which how shitty is the setting, its hard to make good games compared to the Fantasy & 40K settings.

What is the most powerfull Lizardmen army to make? Im in the Tehehauin campaign, and I will do the Vortex final battle soon, so altough my army of skinks terradons, rippers plus stegadons and kroak have served me well, I dont have any problems trying another combination, and being a Lizardmen player, I would like to know the best and most recommended army composition for Lizardmen.

>>16407792

A setting becomes meaningless when it's all 100% nihilism 100% of the time.

The best Warhammer stories usually have some amount of levity to them, like Gotrek and Felix.

>>16407811

Even "serious" (as much as that applies to pulp novels, really) series like Eisenhorn had some humor on occasion.

>>16402681

Abnett's early stuff is good, but the most recent books are all fucked up in every possible way. The best thing he ever gave us was the Blood Pact.

>>16407792

40k grimdarkness is typically dated chronologically.

80's lore was metal as fuck, some of it was grim some of it was dark (hence the adjective) but it didn't take itself too seriously (or at all, RT era lore is pure more whaky than dark).

Early 90's was serious grimdark, late 90's it became more and more grimderp (or "edgy" if you want) to the Age of Matt Ward (or of the Tau you pick), that has been one narrative disaster after the next.

The right amount of grimdark is justified grimdark. Initially shit isn't fucked because of mustache twirling plots of villains or because "good" people commit unnecessary atrocities.

Shit is fucked because it's the only reasonable way for X or Y faction to continue to exist is/was to do something fucked up.

The imperium isn't intolerant of psyker and warp mutants because they're bigoted, they're intolerant because both present an actual and very real threat that need thorough following up on that in most places have been misconstrued as bigotry through millennia of educational drift and poor missionary/administrative work.

If there is an alternative reasonable explanation to not do something "bad" then you're in grimderp territory.

>>16408035

>Matt Ward Grimderp fluff

Ah yes, the good old days of Grey Knights painting their land raiders (and themselves) with the blood of Battle Sisters. Good times.

>>16408221

It's not the good old days. He only "quit" GW for 2 years and kept ghost writing stuff. He's the being behind most of the crimes against the elven lore in Fantasy and most of the retarded shit in the new imperium. Even the god awful plot of BFG II is him.

>>16402648

Yep.

>>16405061

I've enjoyed Neckbeardia's text-to-speech versions of

>All Guardsman Party

>Cold Shoulder Sector

>WH50K

>Shadowrunner

>various other /tg/ stories

How is it a shitty text-to-speech version of a greentext of a /tg/ campaign is the best thing I've seen or listened to in my adult years? No game, nothing on tv or at the theatre can compare. I watch them with a big stupid grin on my face and a tear in my eye at how good it is. Really recaptures the imagination I had as a child. When surrounded by the garbage media we have, these stories and experiences shine as bright as the Astronomicon in the warp.

>>16409152

>He's the being behind most of the crimes against the elven lore in Fantasy

I'm guessing you're talking about End Times? Its fitting that the guy whose army book heralded the beginning of the end of the table top would return later on to help murder the setting

>BFGII plot is him

What the fuck. Who the fuck is this guy sleeping with that they keep hiring him to write shit?

>>16409152

Why the fuck couldn't they have let the writer for the first game do BFG2? Even if the gameplay issues would still be there, the writer for BFG1 hit the nail on the head for the setting.

I need help understanding something. So the dark age of technology is when mankind's technology boomed, and then most of that technology (or at least the know-how to reproduce that technology) was lost as a result of the Horus Heresy, or was it something else before that?

>>16414258

Pretty sure the Dark Age of technology happened because of the Iron Men, when AI rose up against humanity.

>>16414293

I was under the impression the Dark Age of Technology was referring to a time where the technology used was unknown to the technology used now (in 40k) rather than being a traditional dark age like what Europe had.

>>16409152

What's BFG2's plot about? I haven't played it yet and I don't plan to unless it gets a Dark Crusade tier expac.

I am the only one that is using the mod manager for Wawa2, and gets a game crash everytime one tries to save a replay? Maybe its a mod confloct but I want to be sure.

>>16414539

Been using the mod manager, seems to work fine for me you it sounds like a mod conflict. On the other hand, I haven't been saving replays of my battles, I'll check to see if I get CTDs from trying.

What kind of mods are you playing? Any overhaul mods? They tend to conflict with other mods the most often.

>>16414476

The key event that threw everything into the shitter was Slaanesh's birth.

Like everything dickish, it's the Eldars fault. Then the Emperor came along and start his whole great crusade reuniting the lost human worlds.

>>16415081

Nothing I see here screams "would crash if active", easist way to check it its a mod problem is to turn it all off and see if it happens in vanilla.

>>16415097

Well, I tested it, and even loaded it without any mods, and the same shit happens. So its the mod manager fault. Well, I hope it gets fixed, or that CA fixes the damn launcher finally, because they update it recently but people still say that mods arent working yet….so I will get by with the mod manager.

>>16415127

>>16414319

The "dark age of technology" is literally old school Star Trek like "federation", it's the time the "navigators" of the Navis Nobilite (mutants that can see in the warp with their third eye, they're different from psykers) and warp engines were created allowing the human colonies to communicate quickly and unite.

This humanity golden age and first "interstellar empire of the Golden Men" was supported by the "Stone Men"… which latter created the "Iron Men" for security. It's assume the golden men where the rulers of this society that only pursued science, and ultimately created the STC database as their magnus opum, while the stone men would be IA controlled factories or something and the "Iron Men" being sentient combat IA/robots.

Towards the end of that era the Iron Men rebelled and while they were (somehow) defeated (quite likely through science and not brute force) but not before fucking up entirely the production of mankind which in turn created a gigantic famine all across that federation which collapse much of humanity numbers. To add to that while psykers did exist very rarely, they started to appear in large numbers allowing the horrors of the warp to start plaguing humanity.

The collapse of this "federation" was the beginning of the Age of Strife.

Slaanesh was born, every world were psykers were accepted had a visit from a horde of daemons due to instant possession, a every world were psykers were persecuted fared a bit better, gigantic warpstorms make warp travel extremely dangerous if not outright impossible in a lot of regions, ensuring that what little connections remained from the federation disappeared, etc…

Humans did what they do best massive civil wars every where struggling for what little resources was left in their vicinity, using the insane level of technology they still had for it, which devastated more worlds than the Inquisition or even the Tyranids ever did.

It's the time the Cult Mechanicus was born, initially to try to preserve the technological works amidst the anarchy and find ways to still travel from planet to planet and at least stay in contact (which they did) but "preservation" soon became a religion in itself.

>>16415253

I think it's important to point out that during the Dark Age of Technology, humanity was so advanced that things like Ork WAAAGHs were considered a nuisance, and humans had no trouble clearing orks off of human worlds entirely which is something that's impossible

in the 40th millenium due to how orks reproduce.

>>16415416

I am fairly sure its still possible to clear them but its so hard to do nobody bothers.

>>16415458

>hard

Not really but it involves a lot of fire, so the planet looses a lot of it's value or ability to sustain life.

>>16415583

>fucked tau(just recently).

Huh? This have something to do with the recent Death Guard asswhooping they've gotten?

>>16415583

Yeah, that makes sense. The Imperium and Eldar both have clear influences of from Dune in the way their technology works, and the implicit distrust of letting it get out of their hands. Which makes sense given the background of lazy empires leading to degeneracy, especially the Eldar.

>>16415560

Not to mention planetary governors like to have local feral orks to train their PDFs.

>>16415938

Minotaurs with great weapons are probably the single best monstrous infantry unit in the game, pretty sure Gorebull is still considered the best hero in the game too as far as hero sniping and raw damage goes

Threadly reminder that newcrons a shit and 3rd edition had the best artwork

though overall Fantasy's art beat the shit out of 40k's art without effort

PS. I dont even remember if they mentioned how Tau were planning to navigate in warp, probably because GW forgot that navigators are needed/exist.

>>16416024

Gorebulls have 4 different levels of +attack aura, and each of them stacks, so you can have +18 attack x2, if I remember the number correctly, I had something close to 90 attack on my Minotaurs and then I think charge bonus applies to attack as well so that means well over 100 attack for the first 10 seconds of the fight which is long enough to make any breakable unit rout.

>>16428627

expect pain and suffering and losing your retarded team

>>16423482

>>16429033

>and losing your retarded team

Meaning as it is a really hard game, or that the game AI and/or mechanics are badly done?

>>16429093

I see, thanks.

>>16429097

>Meaning as it is a really hard game, or that the game AI and/or mechanics are badly done?

The baseline difficulty for enemies are "roughly as strong as your guys" and it only goes up from there. The AI isn't particularly smart and it has no clue how to allocate talent points effectively, they can be hard bastards and RNG can fuck you. It's perfectly possible to focus fire and remove enemies and clear the campaign with a full warband of rank 10 guys who never go down or suffer injuries. It's also possible to cast a spell on turn 1 and have your wizard blow up (had that one happen when playing against a friend once. He won that round needless to say)

>>16429113

Going to elaborate on this more. Each ingame day, you are given a choice of three random missions and, if you have it available, a campaign mission. The random missions have random deployment parameters (as I said before, avoid the ones where your guys are split up), random quantity of loot available, and random difficulty. All of this information is displayed for you before you actually select the map, and you can skip a day if all three are garbage and you don't want to deal with it. The only potential punishment for doing so is you are regularly expected to provide shipments of wyrdstone (obtained in the missions), the clock is ticking, and there are punishments for failing to deliver. That said, I've never had any trouble making the shipments.

>>16429127

>implying supreme dick lord vect would appear on a battlefield where he doesnt have a 100 percent chance of winning

>There will be another and final (In theory becuase I heard in some places otherwise) Legendary Lords DLC in Wawa2, before Wawa3 is being worked.

What Legendary lords could they be? Any faction that need more, or any lore character that should appear? What is your guesses?

First time playing Brettonnian campaign, as Bordeleaux, in Warhammer 2. Any advise on how should I start my game? Should I investigate diplomatic technologied for fast confederation, or just start with economic inversion? Which who should I fight first? Anything else?

>>16438681

Rushing confederation can get you some really good results, but make sure you have some gold stock piled before you do because the event that lets you confederate with them costs you either chivalry or gold

>>16438651

I'm guessing Malus, Thanqoul, Gor-Rok are going to be the choices for their races, no idea who they would pick for HE, maybe the guy who killed Grom the Paunch?

I want to see legendary heroes in Wawa. Then recreate Vermintide.

>>16429127

I found DE impossible to play as, especially when playing against the terrible AI Soulstorm has.

>>16438719

I remember there was a mod being worked on a while back that was going to be where you played as a sort of Fellowship of the Ring but in Warhammer; you could recruit nothing but heroes and had to save the world with them. No idea if its still being worked on or not.

>>16415803

So wait, if the Tau didn't have warptech, what did they use before?

Why exactly is Xeno-tech considered heresy? I'd understand with the Tyranid/Eldar tech which uses xeno-biology, but the Tau's tech seems to good to pass over.

I wish Fire-Warrior was a better game.

>>16439532

I'm curious, how close is Sanctus Reach to the actual boardgame?

>>16439532

Last I heard, GW had already C&D'd this into the ground.

Have they started adding stuff back in now that the beast in Nottingham has been appeased?

>>16438993

They just traveled normally, there's a reason the Tau weren't a major galactic player until M40 or so.

>>16438719

There is a mod to add valten in to the game as a sort of legendary hero, he is pretty much just an empire captain with a unique model and skills though.

>>16428627

Its mediocre.

>>16438993

>what did they use before

Shitty slow engines.

>Why exactly is Xeno-tech considered heresy

Because myriad of reasons. For example the fact that xeno tech made by filthy xenos. The fact that humanity does not understand completely how it works. The fact that half of galactic species were corrupted by chaos. Odds of xeno toys backfiring on you are close to 8/10. How do you know that xenos gun does not have mini nuke inside of it?

But mostly because technology not originated from omnissiah or humanity is heretical by definition.

Rogue traders are still more or less allowed to use it on small scale, but than again they kind of allowed to do whatever they want in most cases.

>>16444346

What I was getting at is, tech is tech, isn't it? You can just loot some taunigger's gun and figure out how it works and implement in somewhere.

>>16444354

You really dont understand how the admech works, they are more theological than practical.

>>16444354

All tech produced by the AdMech is sourced from the STCs. They can make variants, but they never make anything "new".

Even if you could get your hands somehow on a Tau pulse weapon factory, the first thing the first tech priest inspecting it would do is blow it up.

The guardsmen might seize some and use them but using non-munitorum approved weaponry without the proper authorizations is a sure ticket for at least a penal battalion, if not just being mass executed…

>>16444396

>penal battalion, if not just being mass executed…

For using xenotech? It's not like bending over to Chaos to fight the imperium's enemies, is it?

>>16444354

>>16444396

This is true, imp technology is based off of following a template not understanding the underlying scientific principles and applying the knowledge in an invention. The reason why Tau technology gets compared to imp technology is because the Tau in a sense represent a younger humanity.

>>16444396

>>16444427

And that's just the commissars point of view on the subject.

If it's an engineseer that catches them using xeno-tech the typically what they do is call the entire regiment accursed and threatens to fuck off…

As without them there is no-one to service imperial tech, that put a rather quick end to any debate about the use of xeno-tech.

Rogue Trader can use xeno-tech because they're largely completely autonomous entities and they're about the only ones that can actually employ xenos (with other high level imperials officials. "Sanctioned Xenos" status is a thing, typically for mercenaries bands on the edge of the imperium), with very little oversight as they typically only answer to the High Lords, still if they want a ship full of xeno "improvements" to be serviced in an Ad Mech shipyard not controlled by their dynasty or not owing them a lot of favors they typically get told to fuck off or can even get the inquisition called on their asses (which no Rogue Trader ever wants, because you can fucking bet they have a warehouse full of something prohibited somewhere).

>>16444354

Also the idea that the imperium tech is worse is wrong.

The problem is dual first what is really worse is the logistics of the empire is worse, lasguns are a solution to what you need when you need to equip untold billions of soldiers more or less the same: they're incredibly cheap, durable, stupid to power (the las-packs can be charged just on a camp fire), it's so modular and simple even a guardsman from a feral world can fix/maintain it, etc… It's a marvel of technology.

Second is the AdMech for historical reasons (largely the fact that "machine-spirits" do exist and will run wild if not tended properly) controls the amount of technology non-AdMech factions can have access… and are hoarding all the good stuff for themselves and typically just to lock it away as they only half understand what it does, which is always dangerous.

Which typically means that when it comes to technology, it's all fun and games until a magos get desperate enough to starts breaking out stuff from the Holy Comsoline.

And suddenly the imperium has guns that can shoot black holes… through time.

>>16444504

didn't they also have Time Traveling Bullets that was mentioned in the priest of mars Omnibus

But the black whole gun should be credited to whoever made the Speranza, not the Admech, who was stupid enough to go looking for some shit new star system and lose a lot of mechanicum, Black Templar and Cadian resources rather than pick apart this probably war winning ship filled to the brim with cool tech.

>is TW warhammer II worth pirating?

If you have a good cpu?

Yes. Though the problem is, that you don’t get the most out of it without mods. And mods are hit and miss for pirated versions.

Worth buying? Well, you could ask the same about GW’s miniatures.

There is now the "Skull for the skull throne" big sale on Warhammer games right now on Steam. Are there any Warhammer games worth to buy or that would one recommend?

>Bought Vermintide with no DLC years ago. Finished all missions on normal hard, and all in around 20 hours.

>Now its the current day. Around 400 hours on V2, and all content.

>But I havent got to play V1 DLC…

Should I? Some say its better than in V2, but not sure to spend on a game that gets played by like a hundred people only, and I looked at a playtroughof the Karak Azgaraz, and the scenary is good, but nothing special for me. Maybe some of the DLC should I skip?

>>16477914

And what about Bloodbowl & Warhammer quest?

First bloodbowl is really cheap (Its the chaos edition the most complete, or should I get the Legendary one?), and I dont know much of warhammer quest, heard the first game was shitty/mediocre, but maybe the sequel is worthy for 10 bucks.

So mechanicus is supposed to have gotten a big update recently, mainly around more difficulty settings and whatnot. Is it worth playing now?

>>16478654

The game have always been worth playing. No update for, that I heard, have screwed the game; And the new difficulty options are a nice addition.

>>16480027

Nice.

>>16373380

Thats all bullshit. GW wanted to lock down copyright. Theres a reason the only armies left behind are stuff like french knights and ancient egypt because they can't copyright them.

Plus the just brought slaanesh back and the rules are full of shit like "the realm of life is so powerful at its rim women explode with multiple immaculate pregnancies constantly" and other magical realm shit.

The biggest issue isn't the setting its that it totally changed the game while keeping the continuity of another game that plays differently. It is to WHFB what revengeance is to metal gear solid. Some people will like both, both are in the same continuity but it sure as shit dont play or feel the same.

First time playing Total Warhammer 2’s campaign. I’m 45 turns in and the group on the complete other side of the map started their ritual. Will an intervention force really stop them or is it a waste of money? Will i lose the game instantly if it goes through? Even with all the turns available I won’t be able to make it there in time.

>>16481432

HA. I felt the same as you once.

Rituals don't matter. Hell, don't even bother doing any of them until you have enough for most in a row. Build wall everywhere and upgrade towers in all capitols. Have enough armies to defend everything. The only time you have to worry about enemy rituals is when they are the last two or three.

Interventions are worthless early because as I mentioned, rituals don't matter. They also cost way too much money. Late game you have the cash so sure. Probably won't stop them but it might open them up to something else. Rituals do spawn chaos armies and there's always enemy factions.

>feel like playing a warhammer game

>look some up

>one come out in 2018 called warhammer 40k mechanicus

Should I have bothered downloading this? The only bad shit I saw on steam reviews was one guy saying it was too easy but I don't give a shit about difficulty.

>>16481586

Mechanicus is God-tier, but almost too short. They somewhat fixed the difficulty issue through post-release patches. I'm not going to play it through again but I'm sure it will be a far more enjoyable experience for you. Give it a go.

>>16481592

>but almost too short.

Why is it every game I want to enjoy is always too short? Is there ways of getting custom maps or is that just not possible?

>>16481595

Impossible, I'm afraid. Maybe in the future they'll add some workshop integration but I doubt it

>>16481599

Never mind then, seems like a fun game so far even if the tutorial is treating me like a 2 year old.

>>16481574

>he plays Skaven

My negro-nigger

>>16481620

I wish they made tutorials with an "I can figure out what a fucking riht click does" option.

ToWaWa actually does this somewhat decent, you have optional tutorials for some lords at the beginning that have little more interactivity than a VN and afterwards is just crowdude telling you about things as you come across them, such as the first time you see a single large unit he tells you that shooting it is a good idea.

>>16477923

Anyone?

>>16478020

Also curious about Warhammer Quest. Worth them?

>>16482774

>tfw you'll never have a Warhammer TPS where you follow Corvus Corax from being a sneaky fuck on deliverance, to leading the raven guard, to going full devil trigger mode in the warp

>>16482750

Nu-uh, the codex astartes has an entire chapter on powerfisting techniques.

I'm still confused and kind of impressed on how hard I got bamboozled. Like why, of all books, would you alter the Girlyman book with like one paragraph worth of text just to add a powerfisting joke?

>>16482707

>>16482707

>Has anyone else noticed enemies Ice-Skating ever since the Blood God Update?

They've never stopped doing this since release.

>>16482750

To be fair that's a pretty elaborate fake.

I mean, it's someone (not op or ad2c1d) that edited ebook and then uploaded it on Z library and possibly elsewhere apparently just to add that bit.

A crafty neckbeard is rusing people adding gay fanfic in 40k to create extra backlash against Age of Girlyman I guess (not that it need much help).

>>16482750

Thank God. Altough being honest, with how thing are going, I fear to see a similar thing and not being fake this time….

>GW:Mmmmh, what would be a good way to end our Skull for the Skull Throne time?

<I know! Lets show a pre-alpha stream from our incoming shitty Age of Smegmar card game (Buy the card packs, goyim). And we will use some ugly women/trannies too.

>Also, fuck sound quality for this stream too.

Are you guys excited for this game of Chaos Land Marines vs Loyal Land marines? PRE-ORDER NOW!!1!!!!1!1!

>>16489529

At this point I'm convinced either GW really hasn't got a clue what the fuck to do when it comes to video games now that THQ is dead, or they have a super good game in development and they're secretly hyping it up by releasing a constant stream of shit in between good games like Mechanicus.

>>16489552

GW outsources all vidya since thq died, at this point they just give books and miniatures to studios that ask for them.

>>16484145

In attributes I had to turn off dynamic simulation and simulation. That makes them stop moving. I never did it in combat where they sit still. For my skirmishes I set enemy lines to move to an area or destroy an enemy. Most of the time they don't go prone if its a close quarter like building vs building fight. I made a lot of scenarios that are fun for 5 minutes each if you want to play sometime, i'll invite you this weekend and get a few others to play vs NPCs.

>>16489563

And it's this whoring out the IP strategy that's flushing it down the toilet. Eventually some other board game company is going to want to expand their into vidya hopefully Infinity and with some luck they'll have people handling that side with at least two braincells worth of mental energy to not do to their IP what GW is doing to both Warhammers.

>>16489583

GW doesnt know jackshit about videogames, so thry are just seeing what sticks.

And hey, we have some good games out of it.

>>16489598

I just bitter. Part of me thinks something like Sanctus Reach should be the worst modern 40k vidya has to offer

>>16489612

Space Hulk: Deathwing but it's buggy as fuck.

>>16489617

>>16489618

It is not the same and you know it.

>>16489612

All I want is a cuhrayzee game starring Angron, Corvus or Vulkan.

>>16489623

Of course it is. Vermintide shares much with Left 4 Dead as does Deathwing.

>>16489618

>>16489623

>>16489662

a 40k strategy game I'd imagine would be more stellaris than total war.

>>16489612

I want an Arkham/Hitman hybrid style game with Konrad Curze, with the premise being that you’re assassinating crime bosses on Nostramo. Where you sneak around capturing, interrogating, and dismembering goons all in the name of gathering information and instilling enough fear to make an opening to attack the boss. Or have that be the prologue and the rest of the game be the great Crusade, skinning Orks or counter stalking Dark Eldar mandrakes. Have intermediate boss battles, like Vulkan on Istvaan 5 (where the psychology system would actually be pretty cool, as Vulkan is unkillable. I’d imagine there would be a solution like killing enough Salamander marines to get him to surrender)
