>OVERCASTING SPELLS
Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell
There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT
Select your lord (make sure he isn't garrisoned or in a stance)
Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log)
There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK
Group units with ctrl + g
Select your group and right click the enemy
All your units move and automatically direct themselves to and engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

So thats at least 3 more factions before Xmas
I honestly cant believe how hard CA is pumping out that content. Normally it takes forever to get a faction and its just a base faction reskinned.

>he thinks its just one team.
DLC team have been working on DLC for the first game(both paid and free) for months before launch.
Main fantasy team are now on the first expansion.
It'll be 2 months because the game launched on the 24th May. This campaign pack(not just a faction but a campaign featuring them aswell) will be out on the 28th July. Just as that anon predicted though he said Wood Elves 2 months after launch. He's close enough. The russian datamine suggests Wood Elves are DLC #5. So we'll probably see Wood Elf pop up events playing as Beastmen.
Reminder: The Campaigns in *every* Campaign pack takes place in Warhammers past i.e "historical" conflicts.
>>148433475

DLC 8 Tomb Kings
DLC 10 Skaven
DLC 13 Chaos Dwarfs
DLC 15 Ogre Kingdoms
What a coincidence. The map expansions to add each one are already in game ;)
I doubt the second expansion though. It's more likely Expansion 1 is those 4 above and Expansion 2 heads West to Ulthuan and the New World.
>>148433149
>>148430879
I like to implement NPC's and characters from WFRP is that counts.
This is a guy that cropped up recently though.
>Prince Eben "Greenbane" van Vonvolkvan of Khypris
>Commander of the combined armies of the Border Princes.
>Good friends with the Dwarfs, made numerous expeditions into the Badlands to cleanse Greenskins.
>Have a captain who's generated name was Leopold van Vonvolkvan.
>They tag team it in battles, or Leopold leads raids against enemy hordes or fortresses.
>The Grand Prince of the Border Princes is a bit of a dick.
>Lounges around in Myrmidens while Eben does all the work.
>Hasn't been a Greenskin WAAAGH! in a while, orders Eben to march West to claim Tilea with the Help of Karak Hirn
>He gets fucked up by a Tilean pincer attack.
>HUGE Greenskin WAAAGH! suddenly descends on Karaz a Karak.
>Leopold's raiding party is ambushed by a Goblin called "Wazhumpa Nurgle's Ally", Leopold is slain.
>Peace out with Tilea (Karak Hirn fight on because they're stubborn dwarfs), and rush Eben back East to save the Dwarfs and defence Akendorf.
>It's too late, the last of the High King's forces are slaughtered, with the remaining Dwarfs in the west distracted by a war the Grande Prince started. Akendorf is surrounded by 5 stacks of Greenskins.
>A single force of Averland troops made their way through Blackfyre pass to assist.
>Eben meets up with them, and advances to meet Grimgor at the Battle of Thunder Hills.
>Eben, Averland, and a few Imperial Dwarfs on one side, fighting to avenge his brother, defence their homelands and avenge the fall of the High king.
>Grimgor and Azag on the other side, looking to snuff out the one remaining spark of light south of the Black Mountains
Bloodiest battle I've fought, and that's not talking about the Three Great Sieges of Akendorf, or the Last Stand at Urkbavak and the subsequent Purge of Everpeak.
This game is such a good framework for stories, the records screen really helps with that.
>>148433467
It's accurate for a TT list, but I doubt any of it will translate into TWW.
That being said, Beastmen simply weren't as good as other armies which either had terribly overpowered items/traits/stats/pricing (High Elves/WoC) or were extremely versatile in what they could bring to the field (Dark Elves).

Expansion isn't Standalone game, retard. It is the same as Augustus or Ceaser in Rome 2.
DLC 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 probably Free Content.
>>148433935
Confirmed you know fuck all about the game.
The three games in the trilogy (Or expansions are they have been termed) are standalone but can combine.
Daemons aren't appearing until later on in the trilogy.
>>148433820
Hes been shitposting the same stupid list for ages now, hes probably a retarded russian. Just ignore him.
If the DLC brings a new campaign focused on Middenland, why don't they flesh out their roster to make them a little bit unique and make them playable a a little extra faction in the grand campaign?
>>148434007
>>148434032
We don't know the details, you never know they might be.
I wouldn't imagine new units, but Boris is most likely getting a new model and voice lines and such.
>>148433995
>Total War: Warhammer is set to be the first title in a trilogy, with expansions and standalone titles to be released in the future.
Confirmed that you are retarded, because this is first game in trilogy indeed with DLC and Expansions incoming and later we gonna have 2 more games, idiot. Probably, about End of Times and AoS.

Seems like an awful lot of subfactions, Athel Loren would have to be a seperate zone or something.
>>148433572
Where the hell are they going to fit all those elves in that forset. I know its some eldritch shit on the lore but on the campaign map its barely wnough for a 3 region province
>>148434196
>>148433572
Check map. I don't know where they gonna fit it all i know that this is a list based on the files in game files extracted by mod makers and you can find them in the files on your own..

Forgot to write my fucking message.
Speculationfags should all just kill themselves.
>>148434164
>Future instalments of the trilogy will expand the world-map, bringing unique new terrain and introducing new playable Lords and their races. We’re planning these to be massive standalone follow-ups to the main game (like ATTILA to ROME II). You’ll be able to get just these and play them on their own if you like or, if you have the main game too, you’ll eventually be able to play across an expanded campaign map that includes all available areas of the Old World.
That's from CA's mouth.
What it means is Three Games in the Total War Warhammer trilogy. Each of them are standalone, but combine into a massive single game.
That means that having the third game just be four daemon factions and nothing else is retarded.
>>148433738Evil dead 3: army of darkness
>>148434196
>>148434187
Probably just looked up the Kingdoms names and put them into a list and called them sub factions.
>>148434196
You will probably enter another map
>>148434187
Athel Loren campaign pack, I'm guessing all the beastmen subfactions are for their new mini campaign too.
>>148434260

+ You can't have the mountain of mourns without the Chaos dwarfs

What? No. Its the same map and same time.
>>148433617
Well there isstill some time leftHer butt will be deader soon
>>148434187
If the beastmen DLC will get a new campaign the wood elves will get one too I suppose. So it's probably a Athel Loren focused map with these factions
>>148434371
Can you even have sex with a mummy?
I guess you could do hand stuff

>>148434439
>If the beastmen DLC will get a new campaign
Where does it state that Beastmen gets a new campaign?
>>148434260
>That means that having the third game just be four daemon factions and nothing else is retarded.
Dude, it means fucking nothing. In fact everything that known about 3rd expansion is that it dedicated to fucking Chaos Gods and Chaos gonna have each faction dedicated to each god, so shut the fuck up about it being retarded. I don't know what they gonna add besides it and you also don't know. So this is you who fucking speculation on the information delivered to you.
>>148434543
from a site that went into detail about shit, not official yet but the other stuff sounded right
Blood knights
Amber wizard
Lore of the Beast
Isabella ( her voice lines are in the files )
x wizard
Lore of x
Wurrzag
Bretonnia
Jade wizard
Lore of life
>>148434561
>In fact everything that known about 3rd expansion is that it dedicated to fucking Chaos Gods and Chaos gonna have each faction dedicated to each god
Go through the Daemons unit list and tell us that it can be separated into 4 factions
>>148434561
>In fact everything that known about 3rd expansion is that it dedicated to fucking Chaos Gods and Chaos
Not true either, all CA have said is that the Daemons will appear "later on in the trilogy".
Speculate nothing.
>>148434450
Well I guess it depends on how well prerserved the mummy is
How is the Hellblaster Volley Gun for the Empire?

>>148434614
Post actual source, thats useless
>>148434698
It got buffed, its better now
>>148434481
there's no mention of either lizards or daemons
As the 2 expensions can also be stand alone, they are not part of the core game
So yes, chaos dwarfs will appear, are they are the 16th faction they talked about
It's either them or Kislev, and CA said they will not put winged bears in the game ( source : minor faction blog )
>>148434636

>>148434732
What do you think "Raiding" means?
>>148434196
lore-wise, having it as a separate map you can travel to from the main map like the trade nodes in Empire would make sense
would make it easy as fuck for the wood elves to defend themselves though, although lore wise that makes sense too
>>148434813
Arent they both kinda dead? They come back during the End Times, although Vlad is helping Nagash and Isabella is posessed bya demon for a while. Also theres no way Vlad or Isabella would be playable with Manny the Bald Fuckup as the face for VC
>>148434813
Konrad is dead. They make it pretty consistently clear in the fluff across the last decade or so that he's dead-dead. Super turbo omega, torn to bloody shreds, never coming back dead. Vlad and Isabella and Mannfred keep coming back and dying and coming back but Konrad is gone for good.
>>148434980
The Theatre system?
That should be applied too to Ulthuan, Naggaroth, and Lustria. The oft-posted datamined map made them look too small compared to Old World.
>BeastLC still not officially announced
Just tell us the price already you fucks. Everyone knows about it.
>>148435092
$59.99.99
Do mounts as horses and pegasi not change the damage value or DPS a lord does at all? I know that deathclaw and dragons do but it is not shown.
Are unmounted empire lords better at doing AoE damage then mounted ones?
>>148435023
>>148435018
I don't give a shit.
If they can make Mannfred the VC faction leader, they can sure as shit bring back Konrad.
When are they going to announce something?
They said something is coming in three days, its been three days.
>>148434901
no but at least you can have fear all over the place
>>148434636

Oh boy content no one will ever play.
So, I feel like I should update my armies in case archeon wants to get in a scrap.
What units are good for late-game greenskins? I'm assuming Black Orcs are a given, since they're pretty dang good. But what else? Are the chariots any good?
>>148435816
black orcs, arachnaroks , doom divers and wolf riders.
>>148435948
>wolf riders
I don't get this meme
>>148435816
10 black orcs, 5 doomdivers, 1 grimgore, 4 giants

>>148434187
>>148434196
There are wood elves up by nordland too.
9 minutes until price and roster (i hope)
Are your wallets ready?
>>148435801
At least the focus is more on the added factions this time rather than the campaign itself.
Hated how I had to pay 15 quid just to get the Nervii in my grand campaign, seems like now I'm getting an extra campaign on top of the race, rather than an extra faction on top of the campaign.
So place yer bets folks. When the lord of change appears in a beastmen campaign, do you think he'll be coming after you personally like he does when you play chaos?

Good god this? Like I should hate this, but I just want them to hurry up and make more shit.
I don't even care what I just want them to cram as much as they can into it.
>>148436495
Yeah, I'm one of the first people who deny CA is anything "Jewish", especially since the only DLC from them that even comes close to being a bit lazy was Wrath of Sparta, everything else seems to have had a lot of work put into it.
Just the whole concept of being hyped to preorder, taking a step back it's kind of weird. If I went back and showed myself now to my pseudo-intellectual armchair-fascist teen he'd call me a nigger shill.
>>148436439
There is no need to feel bad about it. The DLC adds a new campaign and a new faction with custom sounds and animations. If it's 15 bucks it's a really fair deal.
Usually you got 3 copy paste factions for 8 bucks and you also had to hear more of "SCARAPPERS REDDY!"
>>148436560
Weren't they the ones who gave Karl Franz Deathclaw's egg?
It was some group of Wood Elves, anyway, unless that's been retconned.
>>148436381
They can't possibly lose to Chaos? I'm pretty sure that's still the weakest MP faction.
IT'S 3PM
WHERE'S THE DLC
>>148433935
DLC 1 - Chaos Warriors
DLC 2 - blood
DLC 3 - Beastmen
>>148432265
>Bluemoon beer
I just became engorged.
>>148436680
They're better than Chaos, Dwarves and Bretonnia overall. Though I personally don't like fighting Dwarves.
But they generally lose out to the Death Star or the Greenskin Swarm.
>>148436816
But steam updates only happen at 6pm British time usually
>>148436660
Nah that was the Athel Loren elves
>Anon, Saoirse told me you actually believe the chaos dwarfs will be a future dlc faction, this isn't true right?
>>148437157
Oh look hobgoblins
Chaos Dawi confirmed
>>148437157
Even though I spent over 100hrs playing as only the dawi, I don't want a Chaos Dawi faction. There's so much more to do and see, maybe at the very end of the game's life when they've run out of ideas, but I really hate to have clones and copies as factions so soon out of the gate.
>tfw always overestimate my demigryphs invincibility and send them 3v7 into the enemy cavarly, monstrous creatures and infantry reserves without support
>they actually win and rout all them
>lose more than half of each unit though
Feels bad. Demi buff when?
>>148434653
If there one on pick there can be more. Ofc i don't think they gonna be really different, but they gonna have unique lords, etc.
>>148434669
You said that third game all about Chaos, i haven't said anything like this. I just posted faction list, nothing more.
>>148436861
The Luminark buffs were huge.
Seriously, if those things get enough time for five shots, they pay from themselves twice over.
>>148437370
It's unfair to have Demigryphs when you also have Steam tank, good artillery and end game unit killer in the luminark. Empire is way too good, fuck off karl.
>>148437560
>The Luminark buffs were huge.
>Can one shot the best units of the other races since they are mostly large
>Can break down walls and towers in 2 hits
>Can still do decent damage to infantry
>Stupidly high accuracy that can hit fastest cavalry
Luminark is fine as it is since the high prices means they aren't worth it in PVP, but they're great in PVE.
>>148437367
>Dawi ZHARR
>Anything like Dawi DOH
That's like saying Bretonnians are a copypaste of Empire and moresome.
HASHUT! VORGUND! ZHARR NAGGRUND!
>>148437459
No I didn't, the comment you literally just replied to refutes that.
>>148437785

Yes, you did.

That's not what I said means, I commented to the fact that the only factions you've listed for this standalone map expansion are Chaos Daemons, which is retarded.
That's not the same as saying that the third game is all about Chaos.
>>148435697
It's probably not a new map entirely, it's probably a rebalanced vanilla map specifically for the "Eye for an Eye" Beast-men campaign which is counted as separate campaign to Grand campaign. You can play beast men in both Grand campaign and the An Eye for an Eye campaign apparently, so that pretty much confirms a separate campaign.
So this is more like one of the rome 2 DLC's, caesar in gaul, hannibal at the gates etc, probably smaller than the grand campaign map actually. I'd imagine it would focus the map in on Empire territory in the Eye for an Eye campaign.
>>148437785
They're pretty commonly used in PvP against Vampire Counts, actually, since they counter the Death Star as they can one-shot the necromancer and general through his blob and do decent AoE damage against it. Four to five shots and you can shred everything that makes the blob powerful.
What unit size do you guys play on?
>>148436227
>we will never have different wood elves skins depending on seasons
>>148438431
I don't want to see the blob nerfed but not every race has a luminark type of units to counter it. What would /twg/ change about the blob to keep it fair but still a viable strategy?
Personally, I'd delay the regeneration of the necro abilities to be dished out over a longer period of time.
>>148438550
Ultra or DEATH
>>148438104
How the fuck should i know about what you fucking mean, by "only 4 factions about Chaos is retarded"? If you can't fucking clearly say what you mean you have no right to call someone specualitonfag.

This is mentions about factions in files. Which you can check on your own if you have a little bit of brain.
So I imagine this will priced similarly to other TW campaign packs like Age of Charlemagne or Wrath of Sparta at $15 USD.
Which to be honest, even though AoC is fucking GOAT. I honestly think the Beastmen Campaign pack offers more value for that $15.
>Legendary Lord Packs
>$5? $8?
>Race Packs
>$7.99 USD
>Campaign Packs

>>148438572
If dwarven artillery/flamedrakes were actually worth it, and if aoe magic did anything, blob effectiveness would be reduced by quite a bit without having to change any of the vampire abilities
>>148438628
>$14.99 USD
that'd be a fucking scam considering the hundreds of DLCs they'll shit for us
>>148438605
I haven't speculated at all, just posted what CA said and called you retarded for acting retarded. How can you read what I said and think it means the exact same as the thing I was calling retarded? That itself is fucking retarded.
Yes well done I'm aware of the DB entries, I hope they're true.
>>148438628
>Legendary Lord Packs
>$5? $8?
Probably the equivalent of Unit Packs, so around $3 I would bet. I can't imagine they'll be more expensive than a race pack. At $3 it be a great value since its 2 LLs, a brand new unit and a unit of renown, so it's already more significant content than like the R2 unit packs.
>>148438550
ultra with a +25% addition to that
15 monsterous infantry
150 regular line units
120 chaos warriors
100 chaos chosen
80 cav, etc.
Also changed the game files to have 30stack armies instead of 20stack
Had to increase all faction garrisons to compensate (usually play chaos)
Quest battles are trivialized but I've played all of them anyway.
>>148438550
large
>>148438796
I think it'll be a tad bit more expensive, cause of the LL's items and custom battles.
>>148438747
>scam
I don't think you know what that word means. Besides it's pretty significant content, $15 really isn't unreasonable. It's basically a mini-expansion.
But they also haven't officially revealed pricing, it might be less.or more
>>148438709
>If dwarven artillery/flamedrakes were actually worth it
Flamedrakes are fine, the flame cannons though, you have my agreement on. Their damage is good, but their firing rate and reach are way too low to effectively use them on anything with an ounce of intellect. Flame cannons are practically high damage ranged infantry, with 3x the prep time.
Give the flame cannon the reach of the organ gun and give irondrakes more splash damage. Yet that still doesn't resolve the qualms other races might have.
>>148438572
Fixing aoe magic would do it without the risk of fucking up unit balance elsewhere.
>>148438924
The beastmen DLC? I'm thinking because it's got a new campaign to it too.
>>148434196
Mini campaigns mate. All the filenames are split into campaign categories wh_main=Grand campaign wh_mini=Historical campaign.
The historical campaign will have an enlarged map of each area and the grand campaign will add just the one faction maybe a couple AI factions to join everyone else.
As seen with the leaked campaign map for the Beastmen "Eye for an Eye" campaign its been proven correct. An enlarged Drakwald and surrounding regions to play on alongside the Grand campaign where they get plopped into the clusterfuck.
How do you feel about Bird Helmets /twg/?
>>148439090
That looks like a kislev bear helmet to me
>>148438572
buff lore of fire (actually all lores except vampire and death) so blobbing specifically for invocation of nehek can be countered by damaging spells. Right now they don't do enough damage and some spells are too unpredictable. They could make such aoes like fire head a bit more usable by making it travel from unit to unit or glue it to some small area so it wouldn't go ''fuck all I'm outta here''.

>>148435092
If the race packs are £5.99 Logic would suggest Campaign packs are £11.98 as it not only adds the race(alongside the LL's,narratives,heroes,units,technologies etc) but a historical campaign for them to play in aswell.
>tfw Warhammer will be the only TW game I've bought DLC on Day 1 for rather than waiting for 66-75% in sales 6-10 months later.
>>148438963
All the races have at least some access to aoe magic, like foot of gork, comet of cassandora, the death vortex spell whose name I'm forgetting, firestorm, all that stuff. If they actually did a thousand + damage to units they hit they would actually screw over dense blobs of units.

Chaos Dwarfs have plenty of things to distinguish them from regular dwarfs.
>>148439173
I'm in love with the game, 158hrs played but I only played with the dwarf. Waiting on a new gpu around autumn before I play the other races. Works out for me since that is also around the time for a steam sale, so I'll get the DLC in bulk while at it.
This is what my game looks like on all low.
>>148432391
where is this picture from?
>>148439173
I wouldn't worry, as long as you're enjoying it it's fine.
Been feeling the same on it though, like with Attila I didn't really care for the setting so the DLC felt like bs. But with Warhammer I'm actually invested to the point I will buy shitty culture packs like a good goy because damn it I want it.
>>148439360
You know, when you put everything at minimum it doesn't look so bad, it has that retro feel to it that makes it more than bearable if the result is right. After all there's pixel art everywhere now.
It's when you try and fail to get everything maxed that the problems arise, because then you have to compromise and sometimes the result is not that good.

Feelsbird man.
So looking at some of the released pictures, it looks like the beastmen forest stance will result in battles that look like underway battles, but have forests instead of caves. pretty cool
>>148439242
I took a direct mortar hit to my section of regular joe Swordsmen and lost only 1 guy, the rest just got chucked out of formation for a bit.
Artillery is a joke
So how are Cygors fare against other monsters? From the look of them they certanly seem like one more tier up from giants, maybe on Dragon Ogre level. IS there anything special about them other than throwing boulders?

After you defeat chaos, the game doesn't end, ya know? There is still more factions to defeat. The game isn't over until there's one man standing, son.
>>148439902
Don't forget the Norscan raiders and eventually Skaven when they emerge probably mid 2017.
Also they have to deal with Bretonnian kingdoms and occasionally Wood Elves who are going to be ingame by the end of this year.
Legendary campaign as Empire when every possible faction is released is going to make people cry. I'm sure of it.

I know that feel mang. Would just buy a new card but fairly certain the shitty mobo of my 5 year old prebuilt wouldn't be compatible with newer cards. Seriously considering building a new PC just to play this on ultra (and being able to play other shit for another 5 years) . looking at like $1200 australia bucks tho.
Still, low resolution and medium settings aren't too bad, it does have a certain old time charm about it.
>>148434813

Because quite often humans go full retard and try to pillage elf lands.
Keep in mind that shitloads of human leaders are actually manipulated by chaos cultists.
>Our new pack will give you the Beastmen as a new playable race and further expands the game with a brand new Story Campaign. A feral, Chaos-tainted horde race, they move like a plague across The Old World, wielding the deadly Lore of the Wild and fielding half-human aberrations and colossal beasts in battle. The Beastmen are playable in the Grand Campaign, custom and multiplayer battles, and in their very own custom Story Campaign, ‘An Eye for an Eye’.
>With a uniquely aggressive horde-style campaign game, the Beastmen are masters of unconventional warfare both on and off the battlefield. They feature an array of unique gameplay mechanics, including the ability to travel through overgrown Beastpaths to outmanoeuvre unsuspecting foes and, through a dark bond with Morrslieb, the Chaos Moon, perform twisted acts of faith to gain its favour.
>As well as that, we’ve also got a Free-LC update! The free update will introduce a brand new Lore of Magic and an accompanying Hero unit for the Empire. Perhaps the most rarely seen of all Wizards, the solitary Amber Wizards are no less powerful than their more prevalent counterparts. Wielding the deadly Lore of Beasts they are able to perform unique feats of magical power, from enchanting their allies with impenetrable pelts to summoning a manticore from the bowels of the earth.
>Call of the Beastmen is coming July 28th
>They're simply the Beast...

They are as far as in Kislev. I remember reading something about this one spooky forest in Kislev (not-Fangorn). When Kislevite forces scatter a Chaos army, sometimes part of it tries to run into the forest, never to be seen again.
How do we rebalance Norsca so they're not more of a persistent threat than Kayos
