DatonKallandor posted:Total War games are full of sync kills... In the past yes, but we're talking Total War: Warhammer here, in that game this kind of thing happens regularly: https://gfycat.com/JealousSentimentalDuck

Kokoro Wish posted:It's also full of sync kills. Watch your general for, instance, fight; especially against some of the larger units. You'll frequently see things like the Brettonian king jump up on an undead monstrosity and stab it in the face, ride the body to the ground and then wrestle his sword free. Yes, but its more dynamic this time around as you get more of the older TW game "brawls" where direction, type of weapon, mass and speed are taken into account. Its not like the previous titles before TW:W where it could become quite sync-locked.

Zaodai posted:They also make some of those same horrors freak out a little bit because they're mostly immune to demonic influence. Which is kind of cool. Thats because from the Imperium's standpoint, making tech in a straightforward manner like the Tau does is an excellent way of getting your shiny new rangefinder possessed by a daemon since the loving circuit board is spelling out several unseen daeomonic runes and you didn't bless the damned thing. Better to just make it out some dead believer, bless the damned thing a hundred times or whatever and send it on its way. Why Tau's technology doesn't do this is up for debate. You sort of mention the first reason there with the Tau not registering in the warp but there is a second reason sometimes mentioned and that is that the Tau have covertly and subtly been receiving help from someone. Someone whos completely immune to the warp. I wonder who we know that fit that description!

TheHoosier posted:I think I remember some part of the fluff claiming that the Tyranids are either vanguards for something greater or running from something greater. The 40k universe just loves escalation. The Tau are the players who just sigh and draw their katana because they cant believe this poo poo Its the former, but its just even MORE Tyranids on the way, theres also some reports that the tendrils are avoiding certain areas of space (Necrons and C'tans) which is what you're thinking of. The numbers calculated to arrive would require the imperium to draft something silly like 4-500% more than its current standing armies according to the Adeptus Administratum, which essentially means every single human in the galaxy.

LuiCypher posted:Tyranids are also finding out the hard way that Orks have an extremely fluid and robust command structure. Sure, a lictor can come in an kill a boss Nob and throw some of the Orks into disarray but then the Nob that kills the lictor shortly thereafter becomes the new boss and the Orks are right back to dakka dakka dakka. The very same mistake the Eldar did in their early dealings with the Orks infact! They over-relied on sniping their leadership thinking it would cripple the Orks into quarreling messes and then sweep them out. Worked for a while but they over-relied on it and it cost them dearly.

Khisanth Magus posted:Define how this was a DotA clone Okay so, you don't seem to get it: They tried to appeal to both the moba and starcraft 2 crowd at the same time, not really going far enough for either to find anything of value in this game while at the same time alienating all the old time fans of the series. Its not that they tried to make a DotA Clone, its that they made it look like one from initial impressions, and that is what soured everything almost immediately.
