That was a fun one. I don't remember having much trouble with it as IG beyond my baneblade getting stuck in hordes of guardsmen due to shitty pathing, but the Ork version of it was insane. With Chaos you start out with enough money to rush to T2, make horrors and burst the Land Raider as soon as it tries to move past you. With Orks though, you started with nothing, had to build up while dick ass spess elves keep sending their dudes to fuck you up, then fight your way up to their base on a tight time limit. I think the only reason I managed to beat that mission as Orks was because of a bug - the timer glitched out or something and I had unlimited time to do the final part of the mission. Without that it was absurdly difficult.
Never did it with Eldar though, I should replay it sometime.

In what way, gameplay mechanics or script?
>>331219548
DC. It has better designed stronghold missions, better voiceacting on them too. In SC they feel really slow and grindy, I remember hating the Chaos one especially hard. SC also screwed up the defensive game - in DC you get every building that you made during the original fight for the area while attacking AI gets a huge honour guard, in SC you have to buy buildings separately after conquering the area and your choice is pretty small, it's really "fun" defending a province from several defilers and a Chaos Lord while all you have is HQ, rax, 4 gens and a couple of turrets.
>>331219847
They made the game so piss easy and it feels like they just tacked them on with no concept of what it meant for the other units.

>>331205194
>>331220289
It's funny that they added Anvil of Khorne as a "harder" option, but it turned out to be much easier due to having no clones. Wave 16 and 20 on the Colosseum really makes you think about your team composition. I had a game as mek stacked for maximum tankiness, I literally couldn't die on the wave 16, but that also applied to my clone. We went on fighting for 15 minutes before I just gave up. Also it was fun when you picked Tau and first thing you saw on wave 16 was AT rockets flying out of fog of war and killing 2 of your teammates in one hit.
>>331209552
>>331209719
>Red Alert 2

Literally the only way to find them was by either destroying all trees on the map or with the stealth detection beacon. Dolphins and Akula had a similiar thing, only a few units could detect them and you could always outmanouvre them on island maps.
>>331220467
>a rank 20 farseer
They're fucking amazing, but holy shit it's scary when the dopple farseer starts group teleporting after you with a mob of bloodthirsters.

>>331220572
Exactly, it's a much better balance and makes the whole game more interesting, given all the interactions that can go on.
Me and my friend were playing with randoms and got an eldar who dropped out early on, I cloned the eldar on wave 16 and from then on we just tried to keep out of the melee. That clone soloed wave 20 by itself, it was amazing.
Pic related; best clone build by a mile.
>>331220104
From a gameplay perspective the Stronghold assaults are quite alright, however the regular conquests are more drawn out as you cannot save buildings while defending provinces, you're forced to move across planets which requires tedious Take & Hold victories, and your mobility is lowered, which makes trudging through them very boring very quickly.
As far as atmosphere goes, it's painfully obvious the SP was left unfinished as there's no dialogue between commanders and poorly made ending cutscenes. The races don't even have their own separate beginning videos. The only commander that radiates personality and conviction is the Canoness, so only play the SoB campaign and skip the rest - the other new race, the DEldar, are a pain to attack strongholds with and not as convincing as far as their voice acting goes.
DC is undeniably superior but giving Soulstorm a chance isn't a mistake. On a plus side, the final Canoness wargear upgrade is absolutely hilarious and broken once you've finally grinded those 5k kills. Just don't run into a pimped out Plot Archon as he will absolutely MURDER every other commander effortlessly.

Level 7 is all that it takes to make him incredibly useful at not dying and killing single target toughies.
I seriously stopped playing not just him but also every other hero. They sucked out all feeling of accomplishment from that mode.
>>331221351
I started beating Anvil of Khorne left and right thanks to the cron. Seriously, so long as you have a glass cannon (in this case, me playing as a Lord General), and two overlords spamming suppression fields to your flanks you can just rocket run waves down for days.
I have yet to finish wave 20 of Bloodied Colosseum, though.

Children playing in the grass
The adults feasting
The cheerful drinking and partying
People walking around, enjoying another beautiful day in the moot
There's the old couple, who have spent most of their life happily married
There is a mother, caring for her newborn child
A young lad finally working the courage to ask that girl he likes out
The legions of chaos descending upon this helpless village
The young lad watching the girl he loved getting a axe through her skull, the last thing he ever saw before meeting a similar fate
A chaos warrior ripping the newborn child from her mother, and using the kid to play blood bowl with his chaos buddies
The mother is literally curbed stomped by a champion of the dark gods
The old couple being locked inside their house before the followers of chaos set it on fire
The children are captured and eviscerated, their deaths fueling disturbing dark powerful spells
The lucky adults are either killed very painfully and brutally, the others are turned into mutants and chaos spawn
The village burns, and this pleases me
Fuck the halflings

I personally think that classic characters are the best for Blood Colosseum, Sorcerer and all the clonning shenanigans with cloned sorcs that clone more sorcs can get really out of hand, same with extreme bursting potential of Tau. I think my first time beating Colosseum was as a babbysitting farseer - I just teleported around the map and ressed my hapless allies while turning on mass confuse from time to time.
My friend used to grind it with a plasma cannon captain and a bottom left gate abuse that allowed him to phase out of arena and shoot shit from the bottom of the map. Playing it with 2 shooty teleporting meks with a heal was fun too - you needed to coordinate with a friend though and then you could jump around the map ifinitely, giving each other health and energy with 'ave a taste.

>I have yet to finish wave 20 of Bloodied Colosseum, though.

>>331221784
WE STRIKE WITH THE WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS
>>331221190
I meant it as when the enemy is losing and decides to delay your victory. So the Mirage is sent somwhere where it isn't out of place and that forces you to start destroying each tree individually untill you find it.
>>331221228
Tau have a presence in the Warp. But they are so miniscule, non tasty and possibly harder to corrupt, so nobody does it when they have much better targets.
>>331221754
The originals are far better balanced, but they can also be rather dull, the marine in particular bores me to tears. The difference in power between them and the new characters is obscene.
The sorcs cloning sorcs was patched out a long time ago, now your clone can't clone any heroes AFAIK. It's not a bug I ever got to see sadly.

>>331222025
The bug worked kinda like this, I spent 41 millenia in paint drawing this for you. You needed to stand on the bottom pillar of the gate as it was closing, if you stood there just in right position you would be able to phase out of the map and shoot shit from relative safety. I think they fixed it late in Chaos Rising's life cycle.
Also yeah, Force Commander was probably the dullest, but also safest pick. I remember when a standard game of Last Stand was just 3 FCs with plasma rifles, artificer armours, jump packs and dread summons. It was kinda fun to jump around, throw nades be a cheesy dick.
For me the dullest character is probably the Lord General. I hate how he has loads of mediocre features strapped to him while excelling in none of them.

>>331223515
He's meant to patch the holes in your army and keep you alive/keep your enemy busy until you get your Death March ready. His upgrades give him a variety of choices, he is very mobile with his teleports (moreso in DC, but Crons really shined there) and does sync kills often, letting you tie up enemy squads for a long time. However, despite his high commander health and good regen, his commander damage isn't very good and will actually lose to most squads without Lightning Field.
You may be tempted to send him solo to distract your enemy which is very risky as you NEED him to cover your slow, short ranged NWs or support Flayed Ones/Wraiths. However, thanks to his mobility and upgrades he can get into an enemy's base and bash some light buildings relatively quickly and force your enemy to send some units back to deal with him. Do NOT try to deepstrike spam Flayed Ones into someone's base, that's an oooooold trick and works only versus inexperienced guys.
Pick upgrades depending on whoever you're facing - Solar Pulse is excellent for shutting down masses of ranged mobs or IG buildings, forcing the former to relocate or get into melee as well as letting your Warriors get into range - this is especially devastating when combined with Chronometron, which is an under appreciated artefact. Lighting Field lets him win every 1v1 commander duel and lets him dish out damage to enemy T2 melee rapists, though he'll still crumble if he gets unlucky with sync kills. Phylactery helps you get back into fight faster, stay there longer or tank some ranged shots, which allows you to pester an enemy by taking down his upgraded LPs solo.

>>331224659
>his commander damage isn't very good and will actually lose to most squads without Lightning Field.
*lose to most commanders in 1v1 duels, is what I meant to say. At least his teleport lets him survive getting touched by the Chaos Lord, fucker's 50% slow pretty much forces other commanders to stay and fight to (their) death, as escape is otherwise almost impossible (unless you attach your commander to a squad and hope the CL goes for something else).
For the record, Lightning Field deals back 90% of other units' melee damage. You may sometimes get away with activating Phase Shift while surrounded by melee units, as LF still gets charged even though the NL is invulnerable during that time. I forgot whether enemies still damage themselves when attacking while it's active. Btw PS's increased regen stacks with Phylactery, so you might combine them to further boost your NL's capabilities but you only get 3 artefact slots and the greatly boost your army as a whole.

>>331225740
They aren't mindless, though they do have a cogitator implanted in their brains that allow the higher-ups to take control of them if necessary. They're also just huge religious fanatics, so they tend to fight fearlessly due to the whole logic of "Metal is stronk" -> "I am eighty percent metal" -> "I am stronk"
>>331225947
The issue with the AdMech finding a working, non-corrupted STC is that it would be too much of an advantage for the Imperium if an Imperial faction win.
And making the victory of an non-Imperial faction canon would cause massive butthurt.
>>331226435
So just have the blood magpies steal it, problem solved.
>>331226435
I just had a thought. The AdMech worship STCs no matter what they're actually designed to construct. They could make a kickass tank or warmachine or something, or they could make a combine thresher or a tractor or something and they would fight just as hard for it. It could always be something like that?
>>331223515
For the record, you were talking about NL in DC/SS, not the overlord in TLS, right?
>>331226435
Have it be a fragment of an STC that improves the battery life of power swords by 7 minutes or something. As long it's new tech they will stay there.
>>331226606
>a tractor
The Leman Russ, you mean?
>>331226556
The Dark Angels are the one who specialize in STC thievery.
>>331226606
They already do that: the Leman Russ is originally a tractor.
>>331225740
It's 40k, so you can do pretty much anything you want and still be completely in line with the fluff. Especially for AdMech or Rogue Trader and Inquisitor technology.
That said, you are probably misremembering. Skitarii are human soldiers wearing fancy armor, augmented to a certain degree (anything from just minor body and brain augmentations to fully integrated weaponry), shot up with combat drugs and heavily indoctrinated into the AdMech cult. They are not mindless, altough there are some examples where Magos program them in such a way they can later exert their control over them, at least the officers.
You probably read about Battle Servitors. They can be literally anykind of robot you can think of, as long as you throw in a human brain and use technical terms from 40k. Hell, even the brain isn't really necessary, but that makes it an automated drone/turret, not a servitor.
>>331226435
Could just be a fragment. Or records of an STC's location. They'd go in full force for that.
>>331226761
>>331227092
Leman Russ was always a tank. Only some tank used by the Death Korps of Krieg is a modified utility vehicle or someshit like that.
>>331225740
The standard Skitarii troops are basically just cyborgs with some metal brain bits, however they have minds of their own, and some degree of free will (that can be overridden by their admech overlords when they deem it necessary).
Underneath all the cyborg bits and advanced admech gear is however a religious soldier, whose zeal and devotion towards the cause of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Omnisiah, rivals that of Space Marines and Adepta Soritas. They are religious warriors first, crazy cyborg shock troops of an elite technoreligious order second.
The more mindless servitor warriors etc, like picture related, tend to be made from criminals and other malcontents, which is part of why they lack free will etc.
>>331226435
Someone explain to me please why the AdMech would fight against the Imperium and if they even would have a chance.

So it's rather a faction-against-faction inside the imperium thing and not a "we, the AdMech, declare ourselves independant and that the emperor is a huge fag"-thing?
>>331228937
The Imperium doesn't fall apart every time one of its armies fights another
>>331228532
Are you kidding me?
The Admech are pretty much an independent faction that is just allied with the Imperium, and produces their shit.
If they spot something fancy that they like, that is being denied from them by a bunch of Imperial forces, there is nothing short of a whole freaking crusade fleet bearing down on them that can stop the Admech from just going in, killing the Guardsmen etc that are holding the shinies away from the techpriest, and totally getting away with both the shinies, as well as the slaughter of Imperial Servants.
The Imperium needs the Admech so much that they have to put up with the above sort of shenanigans. Without Admech, the Imperium would crumple totally, however Admech itself could still have a decent chance of enduring in some form even without the Imperium.
>>331228937
>"we, the AdMech, declare ourselves independant and that the emperor is a huge fag"
Not as a whole, but it has happened.

God I hate cog boys.
>>331229309
Suck it up, meatbag.
>>331228532
Everyone in 40k will readily backstab anyone, even their own allies. Even Tyranids, which are a fucking Hive Mind, have fought each other a few times. But to be fair, the winning Hive Fleet will emerge out much more stronger than before the fight, because it will have a fuckload of biomass and knowledge from the loser.
>>331229270
Great, I always wondered where the CSM get their tech from.
>>331228937
>>331229270
There is also a huge, hidden schism within the admech itself regarding whether or not the Emps is actually the Omnisiah or not.
The Admech are basically a separate empire within the Imperium. The whole "Emperor=Omnisiah is basically them barely paying lip service to the Imperial Creed, mostly just so that the Ecclesiarchy doesn't have as many excuses to fuck with them as they already do. Hell, the only imperial authorities outside of the council of Terra that can actually order Admech folks around are Inquisitors, and even they are fools to actually exercise that power in any real fashion. You don't fuck with the only people who know how to make and repair your basically everything, ranging from lowly flashlights to world ending space faring churches.
>>331229309
Deal with it, fleshbag.
>>331229601
Most of it is Heresy era stuff
They don't even have Stormbolters
>>331229590
Hive Fleets fighting against one another is basically just the overall Hivemind of the Tyranids testing out which fleet has the best adaptations and shit. That way, it strenghtens itself, as it basically loses only time in the process, as all the biomass is reclaimed (the nids don't feed on worlds in order to gain energy, they do it just to gain more raw biomass. Their main source of energy is solar radiation that the hive ships collect.)
The debate rages on.

Fucking Loyalists, taking pride in what is basically a twin-linked bolter.

>>331230420
Silly you, Older=Better logic only applies to the Imperium and sometimes to the Eldar.
Because fuck Chaos having anything neat.

The Stormbolter is superior in every way to Chaos' shitty "strap two bolters together" Combi-bolter

>>331230853
>dat commissar
I'm in love already.
>>331230827
You could easily balance that shit pointswise m8.
Make Chaos Marines, and their gear really powerful, to indicate the fact that a lot of them are veterans of thousands of years of war (time works funnily in the warp), and some even got gear from Heresy era, but also make them far, far costly than their loyalist counterparts.
But fuck that, because Spesh Muhreens always have to be the best, and have the best gear, otherwise 13 year old Timmy will be upset that his Ultramuhreen scouts lose to Chaos Marines.

Are you buttmad that your favorite faction doesn't have all the neat toys? SM wank annoys me too, but it makes sense that they get all the tacticool shit. They have the logistics, the AdMech, the support.
Though we probably both agree that individual CSM should have the possibilities to be stronger, due to chaos fuckery.
>>331231674
My favorite faction are the Eldar actually, and I got too much neat shit, to the point that some people refuse to play with me on principle, despite me not even running cheese lists like all jetbike lists etc.
I am mostly annoyed by the Spesh Muhreen favoritism, especially when there is so much potential for really cool and neat shit in Chaos Muhreens, that doesn't just boil down to "lol, chaos mutations!"
You could have all sorts of insane, dark mechanicum gear, Horus Heresy era equipment, dangerous alien devices that chaos fags have no issues with using, unlike the imperials, and in general, just a ton of really interesting shit that could make the Chaos Marines more than just "ebil spiky muhreens with mutations."

>>331232248
Hey, I don't play tabletop but I like Eldar the most, too.Imperial Guard second
I mean I get your point, but I also think if they have daemons on top of that shit could get unbalanced.

Feels good man.Dibs on Chaos.
What are some of the better Warhammer books for newbie? I like the lore.
>>331232780
Fag, play the real game
>>331233021
What real game?
>>331232724
Deamons are actually their own separate army from the Chaos Muhreens in 40k.
They can ally each other, but they have different dexes.
Also, to my knowledge, Deamons aren't even that strong in 40k.
The real powerhouses are factions like the Tau, Eldar, and Necrons, rules wise at least at the moment.
>>331232972
I don't know about the novels, but the fluff in the codices was great. Look online for .pdfs of the older (2nd-3rd editions) ones and enjoy the great little stories that are dotted around.
>>331233130
I'm talking a bit about the fluff, sorry for any misunderstandings, especially since fluff =/= gameplay. Let's rather say if CSM had superior technology AND chaos it would be too much.
>>331233454
That could be migated easily by the fact that Loyalist Spesh Muhreens outnumber Chaos Muhreens with ease, and Chaos is just as likely to fight against itself as it is to fight against the Imperium.
>>331216930
And I thought playing fuckin' IG was inspiring
I really hope someone releases a MMO for the Warhammer 40k Universe. One that actually does the universe justice. Has a lot of races (Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orcs, The Imperium, Tau, Chaos, etc) and a big universe.
I hope Eternal Crusade does well, cause that's the closest chance we got.
>>331232596
>dark age human ships are so powerful they can control time
>fluff where one used its time weapons on an elder ship to force it back into the path of its first shot because it didn't feel like firing a second one
Mankind ain't nothing to fuck with.
>>331234262
And despite of that, DAoT humanity couldn't do shit against the Eldar Empire. Humanity back then was nothing in comparison to the Eldar of that age.
>>331233813
Shouldn't be there more CSM because they don't have to obey the rules? All I can find is that they rarely appear in huge numbers, because of infighting. The cop-out of lazy writing.
>>331234018
eternal crusade was already released and it was dead on arrival. Even constant shilling couldn´t save it. Nobody just fell for the Space marine multiplayer standalone meme
>>331234702
Making Spesh Muhreens is hard, time taking, and dangerous process (for the spesh muhreen candidate.) Most Chaos Marines are traitors and renegades. There are only very few groups of Chaos Marines that have the capability to raise full fledged Marines out of their own aspirants.
>>331234887
Eternal crusade isn't an MMO anymore, it's just what space marine should have been.
>>331235042
They don't need to make more of them, they just corrupt loyal chapters.
>>331235170
Easier said than done senpai.

Sure and after that we'll just go kill the emperor.
>>331235569
Almost everyone has a better life than the average citizen of the Imperium.
Tau, Orks, Eldar, even heretics, because they have more fun.
>>331234702
most of them are fucking around all over the universe and the eye of terror. some like the world eaters are so batshit insane i doubt they even have the capacity to do anything but murder things.
>>331235085
It's not even out yet though. It's still in shitty access. I'm withholding my judgement till full release in another 5 years.
>>331235569
No wonder they always go to chaos. Space marines and IG are basically the only normal thing they could get to fight
