this is actually why I asked. I'm currently testing it and wanted to know what were the main problems with since I never used it in vanilla.
?It doesn't really do anything
what do you mean exactly? like it dies before or it just doesn't have any real use? I just tested it in vanilla custom battle and was surprised that it's abilities are self cast only. though I guess mobile fear aura is nice?

Can you recruit savage dwarfs from the southern badlands?

>>145001894
It was just a single chariot unit with a couple of self buffs and there was never really a reason to use it. Just about any other higher tier unit in the VC roster is more useful, but it's one of the most expensive units they have and I think has the highest requirements to recruit.

One army has lots of units with one/few models, the other one shown has 11 units. You really need to try harder.

Typical Empire propaganda. Karl Franz is a mutant under the command of Tzeentch. The Greenskins come from the South, the warriors of Chaos from the North, and Franz sabotages his own empire from within to bring the downfall of all civilization.

Last I checked you could only get one unit of chosen on tabletop, they cost 20pts per model which is twice as much as black orcs and they have the same stats as chaos warriors with one additional attack and slightly better armor.

They're basically completely different.

They should be as expensive as they are now, but perform a lot better, that is if CA wants to retain any semblance of how WoC work on TT

Regular old Chaos Warriors can handily beat greatswords in the TT. A lot of the times they gut the unit before they even get to go due to the higher initiative CWs get.

>>145014159

It's funny you mention that because Chaos warriors are stronger than black orcs and greatswords, but they eat shit ingame from both.

Hell chosen almost die to them, chaos literally work only because their warriors and knights are super good and both units eat shit ingame right now

Alright lads so a little lore related question.

If the Vampire Counts offer you a peace treaty when you're paying as Chaos they mention "McDeath" and how they should avoid repeating it.

I looked it up and found something like an early scenario for Fantasy, although it's cool that something so far back was mentioned. What actually was McDeath?

Entirely samurai, with about double the skirmishers I had.

Most deaths were from the skirmishers. I couldn't do too much about them until the infantry battle was mostly done, & the fortress being near base rank, alongside their surrounding of me, meant they had coverage of my force no-matter what.

It really upsets me how shit chaos units are, I mean this isn't tabletop but it should aim to preserve those balance of powers

Warriors of chaos have expensive and melee focused armies with barely anything else, but those units are supposed to rape the elites of other armies, hell warriors are stronger than most armies elites and chaos knights are the best heavy cav in the game.

Karl is a self-inserting Mary Sue, now someone like Todbringer or Von Carstein are tragic, Byronic heroes

Wasn't that primarily because Todbringer was the other most favoured choice for Emperor? As I recall the vote for Emperor was originally in his favour, but some manoeuvring by Stirland helped the Franz secure the throne.

He was also the best statesman the Empire has ever seen, his only real competition being Todbringer whos only use was as a warrior
