I'm hoping they have expensive powerful artillery but with large hit boxes and vulnerable to counter battery fire while their powder will be more wide spread but shorter ranged. I'm still mad that kislev gets hybrid powder armed infantry before dawi because in the lore it's very common for important dawi officers to be armed with pistols and blunderbusses. Dwarf warriors with pistols being a T2 unit would be amazing while long beards stay as dedicated melee and you could add great weapon ironbreakers with pistols too. Change hammerers to something similar to aspiring champions, small model count but beefy stats and tons of support auras for lords. Let's face it the amount of spear armed missile units has increased so give loving thunderers and quarrelers charge defense vs large.

I can't wait for the outpost mechanic and hiring empire heavy cav and mortars to my dawi army--oof outriders with grenade launchers with engineers restocking ammo YES PLEASE.

The iconic Chaos Dwarf units are their fireglaive troopers (powerful short range hybrids with polearm/blunderbuss weapons) and their disgustingly powerful daemon artillery.

Elspeth von Draken seems like a lot of work and kinda doesn’t fit, when Liebwitz is just really rude and gives a big thumbs up to weird rear end guns which, honestly, is a solid warhammer vibe.

But also, we haven’t gotten a single elector count yet.

Vlad is an elector count. He may have married into the title, but it counts.

But we could use an elector count that is all about Guns, Guns, and More Guns.

It really sucks for said immortal dragon-gods that the MacGuffin that can (and does) destroy the world is hidden in some podunk town in northern not-Germany and when fate of the world will be decided they will have absolutely no say in it. :v:

No joke I’d love to just pick a best friend LL at the beginning. Do a vampire playthrough where empire is friends not food, and we join teams to gobble up the elector counts together :thumbsup:

I wanted a lot more of 3K in WH3 than we got. I actually really like how 3K does armies, with them being built out of characters who are specialized towards different retinues. That kind of character focus would have been nice in TW3, but I guess they were already committed to an older engine.

If someone is able to win by relying on passive healing a VC blob, it is their opponent's fault for not bringing something that can make them regret blobbing up.

Also, much of that regen is built on single entity unit sources, so they can be sniped out.

Wow, I just read the Egrimm wiki page, and that's some powerful Mary Sue energy he's emanating. Did anything in his story happen that was not "all according to his plan"? That whole thing was super lame.

The whole "burned alive by the dragon half of the possessed dragon he thought he had control of, forced to sell his soul to Tzeentch and serve him eternally" part was not in his plan.

He didn't have too much of a plan in the first place, just the idea that he could use chaos poo poo to work his way up and take revenge on someone he hated. The dragon was supposed to be his exit strategy but failed miserably.

One wonders how the empire is still there if nobody can be horny.

Also by mass I suppose it's true in the sense skaven are probably not horny, only horned rat.

Rhya is the horny goddess, and she predates Slaanesh.

Slaanesh is the god/dess of Getting Creepy About It, where "It" is a wildcard word.

Crazy Joe Wilson posted:

https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Aenarion

No, he's descended from Aenarion, the first Pheonix King who pulled the Sword of Khaine out and used to stem the first Great Tide of Chaos, but the Sword of Khaine slowly turned him and his followers into basically the Druchii, pitiless, murder-hungry, madelves. Tyrion is 'cursed' in that he inherited Aenarion's supernatural fighting ability and looks, but is also constantly being called by the Sword of Khaine (He resists up til The End Times).

Teclis, his twin brother, is also cursed, but that means he gets an incredibly weak constitution, and was always sick which is not something Elves normally deal with. But he also has a gift for magic that no other Elf since Caledor has possessed. He later uses that magic to firm up his health, save the world several times, and maintain a harem.

They are also technically related to Malekith of the Dark Elves, as Malekith was Aenarion's son by his second wife, while Teclis and Tyrion are the descendants of his children by his first wife.

Teclis was sickly until he got someone other than his aunt the amateur alchemist to look after his health and the Swordmasters got their hands on him, at which point they made him work out.

Can someone help me with my stupid thoughts

I keep thinking shielded spears are a better all round option than halberds because they block at least SOME ranged while still performing pretty well as line holders

Change my mind

If all you want them to do is hold in place, shield-spears will perform slightly worse in melee since they won't kill back like halberdiers will, but they have the same armor so the shields will make a difference with ranged damage.

Rather than nerfing Pit, CA should have made the other vortexes stationary. The main reason Pit is so good is that it stays where you want it to and drops all of its damage there.
