There has been enough 40k secondary media for "normies" to get into the content, and the 40k wiki is extremely well done. Everyone played Warhammer Online for 1 month. The novels are actually pretty decent pulp schlock.
So just because you werent an autist at 12 and spend your childhood painting modelsor stealing themit is an increasingly mainstream universe.
>>338370073
Fuck meme races. Where my Bretonbros at?
>>338370373
No no no, we're not talking about warhammer, we're talking about total war
I hope you guys intend to play Greenskins, the best faction.
>dwarfs
>not dwarves
wtf?
i noticed that in the last streams that dwarves, orcs, and undead are all within knife fighting distance of each other and thats 3 out of 4 playable races
like how many regions are there because they might have six regions between the undead and orcs with dwarves between them
>>338370416
Oh. Then OP is a faggot because Shogun 2 was huge mainstream. I'd say their last niche title was Empire (which with darthmod was my 2nd favorite next to Europa Barbarorum.
Raise your hand if you checked twcenter every other week for Rome Total Realism for a decade, and when they released it threw up your hands in disgust.
What size armies do you start out with?
Seems a bit odd to have small scale armies when you have the likes of Kholek leading them

My friends drove a local business to bankruptcy after they fired our buddy, they stole the equivalent of 3 max point armies plus the mega units from every race, and falsified the books.

This got me to try Shogun 2 with my bro. No idea what I'm doing. Any general tips for 1v1 skirmish? I'm not entirely sure how morale works but I tend to have my dudes start running away a lot.
As a side note, is there any turn-based games similar to Total War, sort of like tabletop warhammer?
>>338370019
Because most people can't point out more than 5 countries on a map and have zero interest in history. These people can only digest simple stories about good and evil, because this is how they believe the world functions from all the fantasy and super heroes they have consumed. They also need nonsense like magic and orcs to keep their short attention span focused on the game.
>>338371873
Should've just reported them to the police
>>338371923
>338371923
Shogun 2 is probably the best, ALthough not the easiest.
Just put the AI or campaign on EASY and use simple tactics. Also Fall of the Samurai will probably make you love the "Total War" Series even more.
>>338371873
You still hung out with them, which makes you guilty by association. Unless that man fired your friend for some really petty and horrible reason, there is no excuse to drive him out of business, especially in a world where tabletop hobby stores are few and far between specifically because they don't make a lot of money. Jesus the more I think about it the more disgusted I am.

There are more options relating to destroying, looting and such.
Vampires, and I assume Tomb Kings when they get implemented, have ressurection strategy mechanics.
You also have attrition in corrupted/non corrupted ground, and have more options to incite rebellions.
It also looks like the heroes/lords will have more to do with the quests than before
>>338371923
at early-mid campaign yari and bow ashigaru should be the main bulk of your army, since no one in shogun uses shields and arrows are laser guided missile superiority can easily win you a battle, the most simple tactic is hammer and anvil - basically form a solid line of Yari in the yari wall formation and when it engages the enemy move either cavalry or in the abscense of cavalry or shock infantry just use whatever
morale - dont let your general die or your men will run from the battle, soldiers take extra morale damage if they are loosing the fight, or attacked in the flank/rear
>>338371903

The absolute easiest way to spot a newcomer to 40K or Warhammer Fantasy is when they shit on Orks/Orkz.
They're the best. They're the coolest. They're the best bants in the universe.
Their gods walked up to a chaos god in his land and kicked his teeth in because he corrupted some Orkz.
Orks are the most fun, best addition to the universe because while everything is so SERIOUS BUSINESS and grimdark you have these big fuckers int heir rickety ass machines with barbarian-tier tactics just making everything difficult for everyone, and if just fucking everyone's day up at once isn't what Warhammer is all about then by fuck if I know what is

>Their gods walked up to a chaos god in his land and kicked his teeth in because he corrupted some Orkz.
That's not true. That's some idoitic shit that Orc/Orkfags make up because their toddler mentality. Both Orcs and Orks and other greenskins have been corrupted by Chaos and Gork and Mork did nothing about it. What's more funny that ascended Archaon defeated fantasy Gork and Mork.
Also fantasy Orcs and greenskins are VERY horrific and Grimdark. The Skarsnik novel is one of the darkest WHFB novels.

>>338373205
>The remaining greenskins were drunk. They had hauled the inn’s barrels out from its cellars and opened every one. Some had unruly lines of laughing greenskins waiting to take turns under the spigots. Others had their tops staved in, goblins scooping jugs into the liquid. Later I saw them do the same with the hollowed heads of the villagers, dirty green fingers hooked into bloodied eye sockets, the hair of their victims dripping beer down their stinking robes as they drank from the open brainpan. The headless corpse of a man, gutted as if he were a beast, turned on the spit in the fireplace. In a cauldron on a fire built in the corner of the room, I saw a seared hand struggle from under the lid; screams came with it as the poor fellow inside was boiled alive. The pot lid was banged back down and, thankfully, the screams died.
>They feasted on man and horse alike, gorging themselves on half-raw hunks of meat. The young of the village, squalling infants broiled like chickens
>they brought the women down later in the day. What they did, I will not speak of, but they understood well enough how to evoke anguish in the hearts of those men watching. When done with poor Esme and the rest, they raked the coals of the fire onto the floor. They dragged in the innkeeper’s son. To the wailing of terrible pipes they made him dance a jig barefoot on the coals. Every attempt he made to escape was met with a wall of spear butts. His screams were a terrible song. The greenskins found it hilarious, laughing and cheering and mimicking his agonised hopping. Eventually he could dance no more. He fell to his knees and howled. They dragged him from the coals, put out his eyes and pulled him away into the night. I never saw him again.
-"Skarsnik" novel
There is a bit from the novel. Now tell me that fantasy Orcs are funny.
Each time you conquer a village as greenskins, this is the fate of the villagers. Both men, women, and children will be tortured to death and eaten.

I hope that didn't imply the women were raped. Pretty sure Orcs don't have genitals.
>>338373425
Not really sure if that's just the novelist writing them like that.
My old rulebook at least made a specific point out of the fact that Black Orcs are sadistic. Implying that regular greenskins aren't the "torture them to death" types.

So I bought this game off cd-keys and I just got my key, pre-loading now. The game is only 9.3GBs? That seems like a really low number for a seemingly big game. Anyways, I'm excited for the game, between Overwatch, Total War, and work I should be pretty busy this next month or 2. This is my first Total War game, so I'm going to have my RTS mastermind friend guide me through via stream. Also I have a question; my version of the game is "(RoW)", does that mean I got a Russian Cdkey or something?

Fuck off and go back to your animes and fantasy movies. Napoleon was miles better than that fucking arcade garbage Shogun. The gameplay from Empire total was perfected and musket battles actually takes some strategy. The battles in Shogun ends after the first charge and relies on dumb unrealistic shit like super abilities on units
> But couldn't a really well trained unit, trained in the school of shounen sword school, take out multiple units in a battle? No this never happened you fucking retards. This is a historic game not some escapist fantasy shit.
In Napoleon however you have to constantly manouver your troops around for a better position, because the troops don't die in a few seconds. Longer battles leads to more decision making from the player and therefore makes it a lot more strategic than clicking on your cool down and press charge.
>>338371927
I can agree, but TW is nowhere near a historical simulator. It also had stupid shit like ROCKET ELEPHANTS in previous games.

The latest fluff on Orcs in WHFB states they came to the Old World on the silver Space Ships of the Old Ones. They were attached as spores.
This essentially implied the Old Ones came from the 40k dimension (and AoS later implies there are infinite dimensions, but forget bout this) as they fled from the Enslavers + Necrontyr + C'tan + New Formed Chaos alliance. As we all know, Orks were a biological weapon made by the Old Ones and were fungus. So the Spore attaching to the ship, then landing in Old World to make Orcs, makes sense.
The only thing that DOESN'T make sense, is that in 40k, Orks will make weapons out of literally anything and will steal better weapons from dead people. They didn't in WHFB. So, nobody knows really.
>>338374861
I was hoping for something like Skarsnik or Grom.
Maybe with the eventual elves DLC we will get a Grom the Paunch in Ulthuan campaign.

There was no pleasure for those women when the Orcs ravaged their home and people. Only suffering, agony and pain, and then death.
Just how it's meant to be!
>>338372646
Gonna talk about the playable nations only because there are way too many factions in this setting.
>Empire
16th century Germany/HRE, pretty much the Imperium from 40k but with less corruption and more competent people. Sigmar is like the God-Emperor but instead of being put on a golden throne for all his eternal life, he just went east to unknown lands and never returned.
>Dwarves
Like any dorf ever in western fantasy, like mountains and smithing, they also have an obsession with settling grudges. They are bros with the Empire.
Vampire Cunts
While there are a bunch of vampire bloodlines in the lore, you'll be playing as a von carstein who believe themselves to be the rightful heirs of the Empire. They almost conquered it a few times ago back in the Vampire Wars but ended up getting rekt every time.
>Bretonnia
14th century France mixed with a little of England. They are still feudal as fuck and don't have the technologies available to the Empire so they're treated like a bunch of hillbillies with swords, not really in good terms with the Empire since they don't give a shit about what goes on up north
>Chaos
Chaos but with less horns. Their ranks are made up of various tribes from the far north, like vikings but on steroids, all led by Archaon the Everchosen who is like an Abaddon but more competent.
>>338372739
A lot of factions are okay and even have alliances with each other and don't just open fire the moment they meet like in 40k.
>>338375065
>We might actually get a Karak Eight Peaks campaign
>Never ending tunnel battles between dwarves/skaven/night goblins

I mean its the one thing Brettonia has going for it, is guys on horses of every flavour and style
>>338375360
I am just imagining an Orc walking up to a corpse, grabbing the intact helmet, tossing it aside, and lobbing the head off instead to clean out for a cup.
>>338375507
They got the best knights. That's all they are good for. And trebuchets I guess.

>I don't think 40k has an analogue for Black Orcs,
Black Orcs were artificiality created by Chaos Dwarfs.
40K does have Krorks which were the aenestors of the Orks and much more powerful according to the Eldar.
>>338375571
well that makes sense from the medieval france angle
but is that it for a faction, just to make a huge horde of Rohirrim and ride down motherfuckers?
I actually don't get how Chaos wins Warhammer Fantasy. Why in fuck don't the Slann just go "Oh well, fuck that continent" and nuke it from orbit? The Slann have the psychic power to like destroy fucking planets and are in contact with the Eldar from 40k, how in fuck are some Chaos hillbillies or Skaven even a challenge for them?
>>338375507
Their cavalry is retarded stronk.
>>338375507
bretonnia is all about knights and shit, also the graal, the lady of the lake etc etc.
>>338375507
They have army wide magic protection, superhuman knights, pegasus riders and cholera.
>yfw Creative Assembly have confirmed that Games Workshop have agreed to allow Mod Tools + Workshop Support for TW:WH
>>338375507
They have knights that are blessed by their god, The Lady, which is basically an elf god in disguise and gives their noble cavalry protection against missiles, also makes the few that manage to complete a quest to find her grail into almost superhuman warriors. Their infantry consists of barely trained peasants who are just there to slow down the enemy a bit so that the knights can charge them.
>>338375695
Yes.
Given that WFB had like what 17 armies?
There were some with some real strong niches
>>338375507
Brettonia isn't anything like the Empire other than both being populated by humans, them being a ducal monarchy as opposed to the Empire's "Holy Roman Empire but Germany." They're also really heavily based around the Grail mythos.
They're not as well-rounded as the Empire either, instead focusing almost exclusively on heavy cavalry. They'll also be the only race to have flying cavalry in the base game, and might add the Green Knight as FLC later on down the line.
>>338375695
YEP.
Bretonnian armies in the table top are almost always 90% cavalry. It looks fucking awesome.
>>338375571
from what i've seen the bretonian roster is very limited how can you siege cities with just cav and pikemens ? they need heavy footmen

>in contact with the Eldar from 40k
i thought the universes were completely seperate
>>338375697
Slann left the planet
>>338375697
Because it's not what the Old Ones would want. The Slann will only do something if they manage to dig it out of the old-ass notes left behind, regardless of how outdated it is.
>>338371213
Heir of Carthage is streaming right now on youtube
>>338375767
they will remove your LOTR mod.
>>338375809
The lot of their peasants.
>>338375771
>>338375743
so bretonnia is like if someone took the Camelot universe with magick paladins and threw it into a stew with orkz and chaos etc.?
>>338375697
The Slann are more obsessed with trying to figure out what the old ones wanted them to do than smiting things out of existance, even if they are capable of doing it.
>>338375697
Because the Old Ones didn't want them to do it. The Great Plan said to kill Chaos and leave the planet intact.
Also, the Geometric Web was damaged all over the globe and they had lost contact and connection with the Slann in Southlands.
That's why. Slann autistically followed a plan and were too busy supporting the Great Vortex rather than doing anything else.
>>338375902
Pretty much. They are french though.
>>338375860

Welcome, reddit.
>>338375205
oh fugg forgot about one last faction :---DDDD
>Orcs
Orcs, with the Waaagh and everything, no real difference here.
>>338375902
Yes, that's pretty much it. Just with bigger extremes between the peasants and the nobility.
>>338375902
Add a huge pinch of France into the mix and it's pretty much that.
>>338375697
>he Slann have the psychic power to like destroy fucking planets
They don't have that power.
And don't take an easter egg as something important.
The Slaan couldn't win against Chaos during the first Chaos invasion and had to saved by the Elves.
The second invasion which was bigger and more deadly, they stood no chance because the Elves got fucked. So the Slaann decided to run.
>>338375860
im not the only one that entirely forgot that youtube streams things am i?
>>338375815
Lizardmen basically "I must go now, our home planet needs us" and fly away into space (srsly) Skaven then overrun the abandoned cities and find that the Lizardmen crazy space technology and are in contact with a race that "sounds Elvish" thus alluding too Eldar.
Lizardmen and The Old Ones are the only thing really connecting 40k to Fantasy, The Old Ones are inter dimensional beings that create life through dimensions, Slann are Old Ones or their less powerful descendants at least.
They should've called it just Total Warhammer
>>338375815
They are, but in t he End Times, the Skaven touched a device in a Lizardmen Temple which contacted the Eldar. The Skaven panicked and smashed it.
The Old Ones (who created Orks and Eldar) are implied to have come from the 40k universe.
Once upon a time, both were connected with lots of nods (for example, Chaos Space Marines arrived in Chaos Wastes and killed shit loads of Chaos Warriors before running out of ammo or being overwhelmed and the bolter + armour becomes relics for Chaos Warriors) but they stopped this when 40k vastly outsold WHFB around 5th edition.
So on a scale of rome 2 to 10 how bad is this release?
>>338376116
can't do that dog, think about them IPs.
>>338376204
Looks above average for TW standards desu
>>338376204
Go look at the gazillion streams of it and make your own mind up
>>338376141
>the Skaven touched a device in a Lizardmen Temple which contacted the Eldar
You mean the Skaven heard voices that spoke in what sounded like Elvish language from the device.
Don't lie, anon.
It was most likely a throwaway easter egg.
>>338376204
My cousin told me he was surprised how not shit it was. A lot smoother then most Total War launches but still a few glitches
>>338375954
And? The announcement never mentions that, but why would that be a problem?
>>338376116
Why do people say this.
Creative Assembly own a IP. This is called:
>Total War
Games Workshop owns a IP. This is called:
>Warhammer
Total Warhammer now includes only Games Workshops IP and Creative Assembly (or more specifically SEGA) doesn't have theirs.
So to include both they named it Total War: Warhammer.
>>338374664
A spears is just a weaponized phallus
>>338376281
Considering Fantasy in it's whole is now throwaway, you're right
>>338376141
Those were the days, when Chaos Warriors could wreck shit with chainswords.
>>338375472
I'm not sure how will they be handled with them being on a different continent and alll. I assume a diffrerent map like with older total war DLC like Age of charlemagne. Which sucks because it means there won't be much to fight, what can be there in lustria? Empire and skaven expeditionary forces, that's it I think. Same thing with Tomb kings and their desert.
“The warlock engineers soon discovered the Device of the Great Beyond, a communication apparatus that spoke to beings from beyond the stars. As they swirled its many dials, a querulous voice spoke through the stone speakers. That voice, fair and clear caused the Skaven to bolt away. The device was something like the far-squeaker, but the melodious tones that issued forth were, if anything, kin to the despised speech of the elf-things. As they did not understand the alien language, nor how the arcane contraption worked the warlock engineers pulled the device apart and shot it with warplock pistols until it stopped making any sounds.”
>>338376281
Fuck off Carnac.
>>338375483
40k has the Goffs, which are an entire clan of big, mean, dark skinned, nasty son of a bitches. Goffs Orks tend to be the elites or even the warbosses of a warband, as they are incredibly brutal and aggressive, but they are also very stubborn and believe in the superiority of core Orky tactics, ie "run at the enemy and chop em up" So they tend to sway from using machines or guns more often than not, and certainly aren't one for actual tactics.

You're looking at an exaggerated version of what the slann are.
Slann are strong, madly powerful and conscious, but the continent shifting powers derive from the instrumentalization of the geomantic ley-lines that were built by the first spawnings, the geomantic grid has been attacked in numerous nexuses during the millennia and does not allow much use, that few power must be used to keep chaos at bay, stabilizing the elven vortex and other things; on top of that the slann find themselves almost incapable to understand what is truly needed and required by them, chaos introduced so many variables that trying to fix stuff may result in even greater damage (like that time they almost destroyed the dwarfen realms or caused warpstone meteors trying to fuck off the evil moon), big changes may not be in the great plan, and regardless of their immediate usefulness, they will never attempt to risk deviating from the great plan, even if it means they have to die; in addition the strongest slann are either dead or sleepy, with their minds locked in a state of torpor and confusion by tzeentch trickery.
They also don't keep in contact with the eldar, that were the skaven who meddled with the machinery and used it in a way that allowed them to talk with the eldar, the slann don't touch many relics of the old ones because they don't have instructions for doing so and will not risk to alter or expose their delicate workings to the damaging chaos of the world.
In short, slann don't do shit because GW doesn't allow them to.
Chaos still didn't have to wipe out the world in that way, it was stupid.
>>338376454
He is a necromancer and allied himself with Mannfred a few times.
Not to mention he and Mannfred are two of the few VCs still alive and not 100% dead.

Base game Nappy plays waaaaaay better than Empire.
With mods they are kinda the same except Empire is a much larger game.
>>338376828
I don't think the devs should be too concerned with that, considering Ahzag is apparently still alive and kicking in the game. Fantasy never let characters being dead stop them from updating them between editions anyway.
>>338376563

>LOL ITS JUST A GAME BRO CHILL OUT XD WAAAGH LOL
The Slaan flew in space for aeons. Why they haven't found Eldar in their travels? Why do the Eldar make no mention of massive reality spanning body masses made out of magic floating in space?
Why? Why?
Because no Eldar.
>the vampire leader choices are between a bald middle aged mid-life crisis looking guy with family problems and an old senile dying necromancer
expected more draculas
>>338376039
>So the Slaann decided to run.
They didn't decide shit, the exodus was one part of the plan, should things have gotten truly hopeless.
If anything they decided to sacrifice a great number of themselves to give the world a few more hours of hope.
