A thread to discuss all Warhammer (Fantasy, 40K, and even Age of Smegmar) games. Lets start with the new hot thing: Vermintide 2 will finally get a Versus mode!
>Vermintide 2 - Versus is a new player vs player game mode for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. It will be 4 vs 4 gameplay, and you will be able to play as dark pact characters from both the Skaven and Chaos, as well as the Heroes of Ubersreik. Take turns playing on the hero or the dark pact side.

I like Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, even though it was long dead and I only played it on a declining half-working private server. It's heavily focused on PvP, there were active battlegrounds 24/7 for any level.
Most quests require a group to beat too, but there weren't enough players to have both PvP and PvE running. Oh, and there wasn't any of that dungeon and PvE raid garbage.

It's still a fine game, with a fair bit of improvements over predcessors, like how truly different factions feel to play, earlier games like Medieval or Rome had differences but the differences in Warhammer factions are more pronounced, production quality is good music's a bit underwhelming, and I remember the Wawa 1 wood elf music to be distinctly shit especially considering the previous releases like rome 2, but I feel they could do much more. And all the DLC, technical problems Wawa 1 and 2 still have absurd loading screens for me and the fact that every sequel feels more or less like a re-release make the series an instant pirate for me.

I really want a 40k void war game that plays like the first Rebel Galaxy. The broadside heavy gameplay and directional shields/hull and modular damage is a very nice idea that would be pretty fun to play, again if it weren't so easy

728ab8 No.16589493
I didn't get an invite to WoM, but at least I hang out with someone who does. Here's my thoughts from a few hours dicking around in Legend/Cata:
>Dodging now has a built-in delay before activating and dodging has been nerfed hard
<This also makes it a fucking nightmare to dodge attacks with any sort of latency because the dodge frames are 10% of what it used to be on Legend+
>All enemies had their HP inflated 50-80% as part of the new 'stagger' system
<On Cata even clan rats take multiple single-target attacks to kill
<Breakpoints are just fucking gone now
<Ranged weapons seem to ignore this, at least?
>Movespeed universally lowered for all characters, a bunch of new abilities to get it back added.
>Total overhaul of every class that removes/nerfs tons of mechanics/defensive options from existing classes like WHC's Taggable-Heal, Zealot and Slayer's 10/Half damage reduction, etc
<Some of the new ability effects are cool, especially the ults.
<Getting tHP generation at lv5 is a much-needed change.
<So many absolutely busted synergies and new abilities, it's obvious 0 thought went into balancing shit like "100% cooldown reduction CW oneshots", "killing a special makes your spells free", and "slayer dodges stagger all man-sized enemies" (but, of course, they didn't give Bounty Hunter his synergy back because fuck you)
>New enemies are neat, lots of jank with them though.
<Fuck the beastigors and their charge, which seems to use the same pathing as the bullshit running attacks and can just casually wipe a frontline in the middle of a horde.
>New weapons look nice, some are super unique and suck, some are copy-pastes.
<Saltz's hook fucking sucks, worst weapon in the game by far. Who cares, you're using Falchion+Axe anyways because it's the best weapon in the game.
<Krub's spear sucks, who cares, you're using the DLC weapon anyway.
<Sienna's flail is the first viable alternative to her warpick.
<Throwing axes are fucking hilariously fun.
<Kerillian's spear and shield is just a worse spear because that shit's already the best horde control weapon in the game.
And of course, being fatshark:
<Numerous post-Big Balance Patch have returned in the beta, including the weapon switch bug, silent voicelines, and cosmetic crashes
<Easy Anti-Cheat errors running wild and crashing lobbies left and right even in the vanilla game
6/10, it's a fucking trainwreck. Cata isn't fun and fast-paced like Onslaught+ or super tactical and deadly like VT1's hyper-difficulties, it's just super spongey and full of mandatory damage and CC-spam. I played conflag battlemage and it took over 30 minutes each to finish both maps we played that night.

Now you actually need to stick together as opposed to running off and just watching out for specials.
Stagger makes it so shields are actually worth shit as opposed to "just pick whatever does most dps LOL" we had untill now.

728ab8 No.16589634
>>16589547
I don't disagree that Dodge needed a nerf, the window for it was fucking enormous but the delay feels like absolute ass for dodging overheads and running attacks. I'm pretty sure the dodge delay is as long or longer than the dodge window is in Cata, because like everything else it retardedly changes with Hero Power or difficulty to make learning the game as confusing as possible.
I haven't seen anyone use shields in the beta but admittedly I haven't played long, 2H Hammer on Kruber (Merc) and Bardin (Slayer, then Ironbreaker) seems to be the most popular pick. Most horde encounters boiled down to me spamming the Conflag stagger while they did sweeping attacks into hordes over, and over, and over again. Elites got shredded fast, so I'm not sure how the Stagger mechanic effects them, but a rat wave seemed to outlast a CW every time.
>>16589596
It really depends on how well they can refine it and these new mechanics; currently Cata is just Legend with even worse number scaling. The new abilities are absolute powerhouses (keep in mind that there's a higher level cap, which means % bonuses and Power boosts are even more fucking stupid) that make the game even easier, and with the abundance of CC that the new Stagger system demands I was rarely seeing anything except Shieldvermin left standing.

>Weaves have an entirely unique progression
>This means full crafting control and an actually meaningful spikes in power as you progress
<It's also the biggest grind yet, and once past Level 17~ you'll be levelling quite slowly
<Every weapon and I believe character (but not your upgradeable level cap) has to be leveled independently, so you're going to be stuck with the same one if you want to progress
>Weaves are scripted and static
<Boring, but with Weave-crafting you can prepare and specialize which means they respected players at least a little
>Dodge and Stagger changes were scaled back
<Delay on Legend and Cata is still there, and it's still absolute garbage for dodging multiple running attacks (such as during ambushes or at climbing spots) and full-tracking attacks (like the Mauler wide swing)
<lmao 3/4ths of players can go fuck themselves if they have Orange ping
>Experimented with some of the classes
>WHC lost Justice's Bounty, but has the best Lv30 skill in the game that counts enemies as staggered on Crits and Headshots; and with the massive health inflation his instant-kill passive is absolutely broken
<CC is so absolutely dominant that all Sienna careers are Cata viable with Conflag or Fireball.
>Battle-Mage is the queen of CC and the newest faceroll champ now that Zealot and Slayer have had their skill floor raised with the removal of "50%/10 DR" from the game. Her burn makes her one of the best boss killers in the game (which is super relevant in Weaves.)
>Pyro with Fireball is also new hotness, and she has a new talent that ignores the Overcharge debuff.
>Unchained is THE offensive support, providing huge sustain with her ult, great horde control with flail, and non-stop ranged suppression.
>Mercenary Kruber absolutely excels in the Beta, his 1H Mace and 2H Hammer with his absurd attack speed and cleave make him one of the best for horde control.
<Shade plays like ass and got nothing new or interesting. Waystalker is the new hotness but I haven't played her in Cata.
<With the nerfs to dodge and increase in horde aggressiveness, I haven't seen Huntsman Krubers doing well. Footknights are all super tanky but I rarely see them do anything worthwhile with it.

It tickles my autism but godfucking dammit loading screens and AI turns.

Even when I played gothic 3 with 256 mb ram(or was it 1gb already?) it was not this slow. And today if fucking crushed after battle. At least interface is not lagging. And default solution is to pick something else to do between turns. Hell, even Aurora is infinitely faster.

Age of Sigmar happens after End Times
End Times happens during when Vermintide and Total War takes place.
Everything in the old world is dying, eventually the good guys lose and the world gets blown up.
Then GW said "dude, what if we just made everyone fight in the afterlife lol."
So basically they made a bunch of celestial spirits out of the fantasy races.
Choas is still choas, but everyone else gets deported to a specific slice of the celestial planes.
Sigmar is so ebin epic that he shits a civilization in the plane of Heavens strait from his mind, and creates an army of "Not Space Marines" to fight evil.
There's also a plane of Fire magic, which is full of hotheads, of course.
There's the plane of Death magic, which is ruled by nagash. But no other tomb kings, or vampires. Those don't exist anymore lol.
Next is the plane of Life which is full of all the tree-huggers from Fantasy. Mostly just wood elves, Alarielle and all the other tree hugging cultists on her lesbo vacation isle.
Plane of Light is where the High elves hang out.
Plane of Beasts is where the Orks hang out. Just hunting and fighting stuff.
Plane of Metal is just a huge chunk of metal, nothing fucking happens there.
Plane of Shadows. It's where all the edgy faggots hang out, dark elves, slaneesh, My Chemical Romance.
Plane of Choas, It's just Choas. I think Skaven have a plane of magic but GW hasn't done anything with it.
So It's all basically Celestial shit so you have to sail across space to get to everywhere. Choas is conveniently everywhere at once and everyone is fighting them.
So the setting is basically gay 40k where everyone works together in harmony to fight Chaos but with magik powers XD.
Did I mention that GW invented a slew of retarded names just so they could copyright shit?
For example Dwarfs are now "Duardin" and elfs are "aelfs"
Writing is a shit and more importantly the entire history of Fantasy gets flushed out with nothing new added except a superficial change of Scenery.

To keep it short, they killed off a popular setting with a bunch of poorly written stories where popular characters and races get repeatedly shat on and then killed, while everybody acts like an idiot. They obviously had no plans for the new setting nor did they have any faith in it so they just tried to cram random bits of warhammer fantasy back in the new setting. This resulted in AoS being ultramarines jumping through portals to fight Chaos while all your old favourite fantasy characters are there but they act and look nothing like the old character and all the things you liked about them happened a million years ago on a planet that no longer exists and they have all forgotten about it.

The Warhammer Fantasy setting was in many ways a fairly generic fantasy setting, but it had 30 years of lore buildup and it's own unique charm. Sigmar himself was a normal human who through his heroic actions came to be revered as a god after his death (or at least disappearance).
Age of Sigmar nukes that setting, replaces it with plane-hopping trash, and for some reason decides that this guy who was at one point just a normal fucking human warlord is the most important god ever forever.

I was giving a very general overview, anon. At surface level, Warhammer Fantasy was pretty generic. You got humans, dwarves, elves, orcs and the undead in a setting based on Europe. It's Renaissance level instead of Medieval level, but to someone who knows nothing about it taking a look, it looks generic. There's a lot of depth and style under the surface though, which is what I personally loved about it. It takes things that anyone with a basic knowledge of fantasy tropes is familiar with and puts its own unique spin on it.

Fantasy and 40k may have been connected at one point, but that's since been retconned out. And Sigmar is definitely human. You even see his normal human father in the book about his rise and the founding of the Empire.

There's something I've always been unclear on when it comes to the warp and the big four.
They're supposed to represent parts of human emotions, right? So Slaanesh is pain and pleasure, Khorne is strength in all it's forms, for example.
So why is Slaanesh purely a conduit of pain when it comes to anyone who isn't a daemon prince, and why Khorne simply strength in the seething rage form? In other words why are the chaos gods actively malevolent, when the emotions they are meant to represent are neither fully benefit nor harm humanity?
b12eae No.16610097
>>16610079
Slaanesh isn't purely a conduit for pain for normal humans. Drug binges are just as slaaneshi. Khorne isn't just seething rage either.
They're the fullness of their respective realms. Enjoying your reconstituted protein ration is also slaaneshi. Wanting to be the swolest Ogryn is also khornate.
It's just that the gods and, by extension, their followers, are dominated by the strongest emotions of their realms because stronger emotion have more power.
So while you drinking a nice glass of water does feed slaanesh, you snorting ten pounds of drugs and raping your grandma with a spiky dildo feeds it much more.

They are and they aren't - they just take things too far. >>16610097 explains it well: stronger emotions have more power. Sensation taken to its extreme is going to be painful, strength taken to its extreme is going to involve a lot of war and bloodshed, change taken to its extreme means a whole bunch of tzeentch fuckery, and the cycle of death and rebirth taken to its extreme will bring a whole lot of decay as a consequence of all that death (and the diseases that nurgle brings can easily be regarded as new life).

They all hate eachother.

Now that I think about it, Ragnar Blackmane was chosen to be a marine a few hours after he got his dong wet and at one point looks at some Inquisitor's henchwoman with what amounts to sexual confusion. Seems like it's not exactly that marines can't dick somebody, just that they usually have a very low sex drive and can't comprehend emotions that don't relate to war and aggression well.

See, nowhere is it said that they are chemically castrated, at least not in any Codex or Black library book I’ve read, it’s more that they are brainwashed to not think about sex, since their entire purpose is to fight. Space Wolves generally recruit older children for their aspirants, hence why most of them are not virgins.
Other than that, there’s A bit from some book about the campaign from 7th edition where Commander Shadowsun gets tsundere for Kor’sarro Khan, of course, much like the rumor that she was once dating a Custodes, it is not canon

In unrelated news: Does the Inquisition actually have some kind of guys who check that an Exterminatus is called in for a good enough reason (that is, after it went down)?
I know they do have some sort of hierarchy and power structure in place, but given that warp travel and somewhat unreliable communications can mean the news of a planet being glassed - and who did it - may reach other sectors months or years or even decades after it has happened, it seems there is little that would stop a sufficiently batshit insane Inquisitor (see: Kryptman) from just glassing one world after another so long as his colleagues aren't in the direct vicinity.

Well in Dan Abnett's books, after every flashy investigation or cult extermination, inquisitors spend a ton of time, sometimes years, reporting in detail everything that went down and mitigating the consequences. That seems reasonable, but Abnett's inquisition books are well known for being way less grimdark than average 40K lore.

The wolves of fenris are essentially degenerated humans with the canis helix. The same genes that caused some marines to turn into Wulfen caused some of the ancient settlers of Fenris to turn into actual wolves but with near-human intelligence.
The endgame for Chaos is twofold: The traitor marines, if they are true believers, think that humanity will ascend to near godlike status if they just started worshipping the true gods of the cosmos. Thus humanity will rule the galaxy. Of course the actual gods don't really care about any of that, they just want to increase their own powers in order to gain the upper hand in their struggle for dominance. If chaos wins, humanity will burn itself out in an orgy of madness and violence. Which is what the Eldar would have preferred.

Currently in fluff chaos does not care about materium at all. They fight with each other. Also all demons are parts of gods now. Followers of chaos, like CSM or Chaos Warriors basically do whatever they want without any directives from their gods. The fact that they "need" materium and emotions are not that prominent or even mentioned iirc.
Khorne is supposed to be strongest right now be Slanesh is on the rise because "excess of war actually good for slanesh too because he is price of all excess, including war!". So you might decide to ignore all of new fluff completely. No one needs to do anything, no one cares, no motivation to do anything. Basically vidrelated.

Man the retcons make it a bit hard to follow stuff clearly.
For example, was the emperor getting curbstomped by horus a result of the emperor loving horus the most as a son, or is it because the four gods went apeshit in giving horus his powers before yanking it from him, or was it all just as planned by the emperor?

You cant really expect anything better than SM, if by "ground" you meant melee/close quarters combat. If by ground you meant ground combat, than there are good mods for it in other games. The only problem is the fact that weapons are supposed to miss a lot of shots on tabletop so in 1st person game its impossible to emulate normally. Weapons would either be uselessly inaccurate or deal no damage at all. If you change it, you get generic shooter. Honestly Relic`s SM showed SM probably closest to what they are supposed to be in fluff. They are not that great anywhare else, including tabletop because "superhuman" translates into "slightly better than average human".

I've played Gothic 1. I found it very fun, if very lacking in content, until the game slaps you with a planetary bombardment mission which is heavily luck based depending on where the bombardment positions are. I also wasn't a fan of how fast you could eliminate orc/eldar fleets from the game, or how you can only play the Imperium.
Also I think gameplay like Rebel Galaxy's, even with the 2D cruise ship restriction, would be an excellent fit for 40k void wars.

To be fair its true for most games. Difficulty goes from "only metabuilds can do it" to "its hard at the start and later its super easy". There are rarely a game with its difficulty progressing. Total war warhammer difficult only at the start and later it gets super boring and game is running super slow so its impossible to win without heavy autism powers to sit through all the boring shit.

I wonder if there's an inquistor who's very loyal, but decided to go into some deep shit missions in order to subvert and disrupt chaos/xenos forces. And then he gets summoned by Guilliman who chasitizes him, then the inquistor goes nuclear and tells Guilliman to fuck off and he and his brothers are to blame for humanity's current predicaments.
Here's an interesting mental exercise, assuming the 19 primarchs remained loyal, but the emperor slipped in the shower and is still entombed in the golden throne. Would the imperium still have trouble fighting against it's alien enemies?

Assuming the Great Crusade went according to Keikaiku and the Emperor still died/got taken out of commission before he could “retire” the space Marines like he did the thunder warriors. Well, Guilliman would probably still try to float the chapter idea past his brothers, and would immediately get told to fuck off by The Lion (because he’d want his legion to stick together like a true knightly brotherhood), Khan (because Jaghatai doesn’t play by the rules), Russ (because fuck you, I’m Leman Russ), Dorn (because the Emperor made space marines for crusading and Dorn is too autistic to be tactically flexible) , Curze (because someone has to keep an eye on the flat happy monsters in the 8th legion), Sanguinius (because more chapters = more likelihood that the Red Thirst would become known, Angron (who is still alive since any scenario where all the Primarchs stay loyal would have to have Angron sans Butcher’s Nails, also would not want his sons split up), Mortarion (because the Death Guard are very insular and inflexible, also Mort would hate that the Codex makes allowances for Librarians) Magnus, (because fuck you, I’m a wizard) And Vulkan (“I love my sons to much to split them up, I have no problem with the codex, I’m just too nice a guy). Leaving him with only Fulgrim (smaller forces means his sons can work out their glory seeking tendencies by being able to respond to multiple crisis at once) Perturabo, (because Dorn hates he idea and Pert does the opposite of everything Dorn does) Ferrous Manus, (since he’d hate the “Flesh is weak” wanking, he’s break up the legion so they could actually fight alongside some mortals to break them of their mechanical fetish) Horus (Would probably recognize that people like Abaddon and Loken would do better as chapter masters than legion masters.), Lorgar, (More chapters = more chances to spread the Cult of the Savior Emperor) Corax and Alpharius (both legions already use small group tactics). Some, like The Khan, Dorn, And Angron would go off to fuck up humanity’s enemies like the Crusade never ended, Lion, Sanguinius, Russ, And Vulkan would fortify their home planets and the surrounding systems but would not hesitate to send out small groups to deal with threats (basically chapter sized units while still technically a legion) The Orcs, being the only galactic power that maintain standing empires, would be fucked. Since they’d constantly have White Scars/Imperial Fists/World Eaters fucking their shit up on a daily basis. The Tau would never get off the ground, since the minute they start their first sphere expansion they’d have several legions pushing their shit in. Tyranids would eventually arrive, but they would be beaten back, would probably still fuck Ultramar, but every hive fleet after that would be bum rushed by space marines. The Eldar And Necrons would remain threats, but they are more low key. My main puzzlement involves Daemons, since none of the Primarchs fell to Chaos, would they still be thought of as “just another breed of xenos”? Really, if the great Crusade succeeded but still ended with the Emperor being lost, the biggest threat is a civil war between the legions, since some would want to hold to the Imperial Truth and some (Word Bearers) would encourage the efforts of the Fledgling Ecclisiarchy.
