>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

They need to fix the damsels when they release Bretonnia. Right now they are ugly old hags wearing a burlap sack dress, instead of the sexy spellcasting waifu they are supposed to be.

>>148524910
They are, but that makes them more fun to play somewhat in an underdog type of way.
>>148525226
GW's recent history is nothing but dumb decisions.
They changed shit that never needed changing and refused to change shit that really needed changing.
And then suddenly decided that WHFB has no future and just axed it.

Earlier editions of Beastmen were troubled but they were interesting enough - perhaps not the most competitive.
Then 6th edition ripped out most of their flavour, even removing marks completely and they just got left in the dust when 7th came round.
Glotkin resolved some major issues but to little and much to late.
It's a shame, they were my first army... the terribly painted fuckers.

Additionally they were the true children of chaos - the Norscan were ultimately petty kingdoms/clans who went to war primarily for their own glory.
For the complete opposite of Beastmen on the spectrum see Chaos Dwarves.

that's true though, second cycle teams are much smaller and have smaller budgets
it's something that can always get added in later if people really want it
how much will GW get from the sales of dlc?
>>148526542
The Drakwald is scary.

Cant wait until every other new faction is missing 6+ fun units so all we get is the boring generic ones because faggots like you excused this shit
>>148527251
You also have voice acting. And voice acting for every race encounter(if they actually did that though). That can get pretty expensive.
>>148527251
CA lies about this type of shit all the time, its entirely made up bullshit.
Had this been DLC for Rome 2 they would have said the exact same bullshit.

Excusing this shit on /twg/ doesn't matter. Same with complaining really.
All of this shit should go on the official forums desu.
Post total war webms pls
>>148527031
I can get behind the "adhering to 8th edition" to justify being lazy with Kislev&friends, but not about "missing some of the most unique units in the roster because 2hard2do, on an already overpriced DLC"
>>148527251
I think 9/10 people would prefer a properly put together and fleshed out beastmen faction they can play with in the grand campaign and battles instead of having to pay more than double the price of a race pack for a miniscule campaign you'll play once or twice at the most. Since their excuse for leaving units out is time and money, think of all the time and money they wasted on the mini campaign.

Ok, now we need a faction unlocker for that campaign.
Imagine playing as Hochland and fighting against a beastmen Guerrilla campaign in the deep forests with Greenskins hordes at your back.

They're one of the most ass backwards and out of touch hobby/entertainment companies on the planet outside of Japan so it wouldnt be too much of a stretch.
>>148526639
It's much smaller than all the other mini campaign isn't it?

Its 6, and Beastmen only have 13 actual units ignoring reskins and rehashes
>>148527752

>>148528390
not on TWW for sure
calling "mod support" to editing some limited database is shady marketing
And editing the textures relies on redirecting texture paths, so the "mod support" doesn't apply here
It's the reason most decent mods are Empire reskins, human models are the only thing there is

Also, well done CA for making excuses instead of working towards rectifying your laziness and poor decisions, you crumpet chewing fags.
>>148529012
No one is going to make mods for something no one is going to play, the ONLY reason people are buying this DLC is for the Beastmen on the main campaign.

>>148526639
This map looks good for a empire civil war mod(with only a few inhuman factions).

Yeah, no.
Tops the campaign will take 10 hours and then you'll ditch it for the main campaign never to be played again.
CA is wasting their time. All people want is the main factions on the main campaign map, thats it. This shit is nickel and diming people.

They will in the grand campaign, most likely.
>>148529206
you guys are forgetting that previous TW games just had copy pasted units whereas Warhammer units are much more detailed an unique
>>148529193
Lots of people liked the campaign packs for Attila and Rome II, and lots of people were calling for campaign play involving beastmen and the Empire like in Call of Warhammer.
Since the Empire in the GC is too small to fully do it justice, why not build a full campaign designed entirely around the Beastmen's Guerrilla war with the Empire?
Just dumping them in the GC wouldn't have done them justice, dedicating a portion of the game to a dedicated beastmen campaign set in the Drakwald does.
>>148528762
>$18.89 CAD
>>148529335
what's that like 5 USD?
>>148526639
So will we be able to play as anyone other than Beastmen???
It would be very cool to play a varient of the normal factions, give them a unique lord and reskins of units, maybe a couple unique units.
>>148529275
It's not about the units but the campaign map. It wouldn't have been so hard to add more cities to make it more interesting. I guess after one playthough it will be boring because it's so small
>>148529275
Well TWW got some copy pasted units. They are only within their respective factions/races though.

Not vanilla, I imagine mods will be all over it though.

Beast fags should read this:

TL;DR: The Beastmen faction is significantly smaller (~43% less unique unit content) and largely reskins existing faction mechanics on the grand campaign map.

Sure thing shitposter, im so mad, grrrr.
>>148529579
And yet it means literally fucking nothing, why?
>...I am buying this DLC...
And thats why CA fucks consumers in the ass and shits down their throats for desert, because even when they are called out on their bullshit people bend over backwards and purchase it all anyway.
>>148524464
rolling
>>148529416
Thats really lazy.
It's a "People getting mad over DLC" episode again.
Someone change the channel.
>>148528851
Beastmen is more scripted kinda like Last Roman.
Plus its 52 settlements on an enlarged map of the Empires forests. Each region looks large with fair distance between most places.
Solid size.
For those that don't buy the DLC they get essentially 3 free contents that day with the Empire hero, the lore of amber and the AI Beastmen to the campaign map. Not bad at all.
It's insane that making the Jabberslythe alone would have took the entire budget of the Age of Charlemagne DLC for Attila.
Do we still get beastpath battles if we dont buy it?
The content the update will bring seems pretty good on its own, we still fight beastmen and get a new lore of magic.
Might be worth just not getting the DLC.
>>148529607
You assume there isn't any difference between the people buying and playing and the people giving reviews.
>>148529763
It reminds me of Napoleon's campaigns a bit.
You never know, the story might really be focused on Khazrak with a lot of unique shit to it, and not lazy at all.
>Nearly all empire provinces got razed by the time the first chaos wave hits
simply ebin
>>148529789
Where's the channel changer!?
>>148528797
Beastmen are playable in Grand Campaign,MP and Custom aswell as their own story campaign in a self contained enlarged campaign map of the Drakwald Forest and surrounding lands.
Those that don't buy it get Beastmen AI on the grand campaign map anyway albeit even more limited but still another threat to contend with.
>>148529927
>b-but people LOVE standalones!
>p-poor reviews mean nothing! those people are just haters!
Here is your last (you)
>>148529789
People getting mad over dlc is good but I only wish people could take it to the official forums.
>>148528930
>>148530027
>too austic to understand that he meant "Only the beastmen are playable in the new campaign"
>>148530050
Wrath of Sparta was legit shit though, that's why I didn't mention it.
>>148529789
Soon it's going to be fine for a RPG or FPS game to release half of the story day1 then add the rest through 5 20$ DLC's.
This is what you retards are defending.
What did he mean by this?
>>148530114
People are taking it to the official forums. Unless CA add something until the release the DLC reviews on Steam are going to tank.
>>148526639
If Beastmen can't settle then why are parts of the map covered in their colours?
>tfw Beastmen and Chaos spreading corruption.
Empire are already fucked as it is and now we have to contend with invisible fucking encamped armies that MOVE as standard in another factions AMBUSH stance.
Fuck my empire up lad.
>>148530331
instead of going on about it here for several threads(if that happens)
>>148530358
There are two orc tribes. All the other colours are Empire factions(With Marienburg to the west).
>>148530358
>If Beastmen can't settle then why are parts of the map covered in their colours?
They aren't. What you see there are the colours for the two Middenland factions, Hochland, Marienburg, and the Greenskins.
>Empire are already fucked as it is and now we have to contend with invisible fucking encamped armies that MOVE as standard in another factions AMBUSH stance.
The beastmen don't start in the Empire in the GC.
>>148529879
Exactly what I'm doing considering now that Beastmen are being added an AI limited roster race anyway(just like CW if you don't own them)
Its just 10% discount for buying now its worth the extra small amount of cash if it means a great story focused mini campaign and fun playable faction. Gonna have to wait for reviews and playthroughs. Joey is playing the grand campaign next week including Eye for an Eye story campaign.
>>148530305
And if that does happen do you know what you do?
Don't buy it.
That will hurt them more.
>>148530331
>Unless CA add something until the release the DLC reviews on Steam are going to tank.
Oh that reminds me to do that
But seriously, if this is the "quality" of future DLC then they might as well just stop now
>>148530442
>They aren't. What you see there are the colours for the two Middenland factions, Hochland, Marienburg, and the Greenskins.
My bad. Just noticed. Thanks.
It's a first for CA not to have other playable factions in a mini campaign. Sounds like its heavily scripted and removes replay value.
>The beastmen don't start in the Empire in the GC.
True but they're a big threat even more so if you own the DLC which gives the AI their full rosters.
>>148529869
>It's insane
Its called a 'lie'
>>148530442
>The beastmen don't start in the Empire in the GC.
Then where the hell do they start?
>>148530358
>now we have to contend with invisible fucking encamped armies that MOVE as standard in another factions AMBUSH stance.
Honestly this worries me. They need to seriously nerf Norscan tribes to try and balance it out.
>>148530750
Khazrak starts in Estalia, Malagor starts in the badlands.
>>148530832
>Malagor starts in the badlands.
How do they justify that?
The real question is
WILL BORIS GET HIS OWN MODEL OR JUST A GENERIC LORD SKIN?
>CA didn't say anything about it
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>148530750
From the Steam page:
>A Beastmen Grand Campaign may be led by one of two Legendary Lords: the fearsome Beastlord Khazrak The One Eye, or the blasphemous Bray-Shaman, Malagor The Dark Omen.
>Each has their own skill trees, abilities, quest-chains, legendary items, and Grand Campaign start positions. Khazrak begins the Grand Campaign in the Tobaro Region of Estalia, while Malagor begins play in The Marshes of Madness, deep in the Badlands.
>>148530750
Near Tilea and in the badlands. I hope there are beastmen subfactions in the GC though.
>>148530750
Tilea and the Badlands.
So it's either start next to "Not Empire" or Orcs and Dwarfs
>>148530873
Probably magic stuff hunting.
>>148530750
Ostland apparently meaning you'll be facing Beastmen and Chaos to the north and northwest aswell as Vampires to the east. Beastmen will also have sub factions based around the old world like the Badlands. Plus they move in ambush stance permanently, can pass forests with their "Beast Paths"(Underway clone) mechanic and when encamped are invisible.
Lets not forget Beastmen have the Waaaagh mechanic.
Oh boy and so far these factions are only a small part of Warhammers main factions.
By the end of the trilogy this game is going to be one serious clusterfuck.
>>148530873
Gives orcs and dorfs somebody else to fight, shakes things up in that part of the map. (I assume that's why khazrak's where he is too, means tilea and estalia have a threat from the start of the game.)
In-universe, I have no idea what he's doing there. Maybe he had a quest battle just before the campaign started.
>>148530874
They'd have to, like at worst all they'd have to do is make a new head model.
The real question is, given the name of the campaign is this pre-eye loss? if so does that mean the grand campaign model will be post eye loss?
>>148530442
>The beastmen don't start in the Empire in the GC.
LL's don't. But there sure as fuck will be other factions on the map.
How many beastmen factions will there be in the grand campaign?
>>148531235
Probably 2-3, but I'm sure they will re-appear just like savage orcs
>12 days until Estalia stop raping half of Bretonnia in every campaign
RIP
>>148531648
Rape monsters starting there is also a good thing for Wood Elves campaign.
>>148530874
Don't you get it? They can't: It would cost as much as 3 jabberslythes!I still cringe when I see Marius model in the campaign
So do I understand this correctly, that the Beastmen will not appear on the original map (/game), but will have their own map?
Kinda disappointing...
>this is the most ambitious, expensive, over the top TW game ever
>probably going to be the most expensive, over the top TW game for a very very very long time
>wasted time and money on shit like minicampaigns
1 map
All factions
ITS SO FUCKING SIMPLE CA WHY ARE YOU HELLBENT ON RUINING IT
>>148531847
Nah, they'll be in the grand campaign as well. In fact, they'll appear as an NPC race even if you don't buy the DLC.
>Zoomed hellcannon first time.
>Chaos Dawi.
>Got into MP vs 2 Cancer Vampires
>Made them rekt with Dawi Runemaster and 2 gunners squad.
Today was a good day.
>>148531847
No, pretty much they'll be in the grand campaign map AND in this side story campaign map.
They're even being added into the game as a NPC race for the people who don't buy the pack like Chaos was.
>>148530992
I feel bad for Dwarf and Greenskin players if the map expands east and south. At the moment they're tucked away in their little corner of the map, but add in Tomb Kings to the South and Ogres and DAWI ZHARR in the East and they're pretty fucked.
>>148532136
add rats with underground tunnels all over the map and everyone get rekt.
>>148532136
As if greenskins and dwarfs don't need buffs already...
Every fucking release there's non stop complaints and drama bullshit.
If the full beastmen roster were released there'd still be complaints.
You knew we'd be getting jewwed with DLC when the base game only had 4-5 factions.
The complete game is probably set to be >$360 over the course of 3 years, pretty fucking affordable. It's a large and lofty undertaking. From a pure business perspective this shit is plenty justifiable.
if you're mad cause you're poor, go do something more constructive with your time.
Do i have to buy the beastmen DLC to fight them? I just want to slaughter walking cows not play as them.
>>148532236
In campaign Dwarves are the easiest to play.
>>148532274
nah, they are on the GC as AI faction
>>148532331
Not against a stronk greenskins if they confederate and fuck the region up
>>148532136
Nah. At the moment the dwarf/greenskin campaign is boring as shit once you've dealt with the greenskins/dwarfs. More directions to expand and be attacked from would get me playing those campaigns again.
>>148532274
Supposedly no. They will be added for everyone. Just not playable like Chaos.
Is there any reason not to sit on your taxes and not aggress anyone for a couple of rounds?
>>148532331
They are still one of the weakest factions
Dwarfs need a flat increase to armor for all their base troops, and Orcs need better AP units. Honestly Orc Boys with 2handers and Big'Uns with 2handers would solve one of the Orcs biggest issues.
>>148532263
I'm just baffled at people being so mad about the jabberslyth being missing. I have never, ever seen a beastman player with a jabberslyth model, but now it's apparently an essential part of their roster or something.
>>148532475
Well there is no time limit so no reason not to if you dont get bored.
You can finish the campaign in 100 or 1000 turns, dont matter to the campaign.
>>148532527
>the TB is shit so the game has to be shit too!
GWS pls stahp
>>148532412
Then just declare war on everyone....
>>148532527
Couldn't they just re-skin an griffin?
>>148532263
>If the full beastmen roster were released there'd still be complaints.
There would be far fewer than there are now
>no harpies
>a unit that is literally bats, but with tits
>no doom bull
>a unit that is literally a Minotaur, but bigger and armored
Missing out on some of the other stuff I can understand, I actually believe that Jabber would have cost a fuckton to make. But there are units that they could have added easily that they didnt and that pisses me off.
>>148532690
that would cost seven jabberwockies
>>148532609
If tabletop beastmen players cared about their power level they'd have played a different army. What I meant was, the jabba wasn't generally considered to fit in with the beastmen theme/aesthetic by most, (otherwise they'd be taking it in their fluffy armies,) so people claiming the beastmen roster is "incomplete" without it seems ridiculous.
>>148532263
I just love that people in this day and age are surprised they have to pay for additional content. It's been the norm for a hell of a long time now.
I mean shit, they're even releasing a bunch of free content to go with it. And from the sounds of it even if you don't buy it you'll still get to play against them as a AI faction, that's basically a demo of the content.
Like of all things to crusade against with DLC, this really isn't that bad.
>>148532843
It has nothing to do with the TB balance or people who play it (spoiler alert, next to no one plays Warhammer and the TB).
The fact is some major units got cut, and this bodes poorly for future DLC as well.
CA are willing to not do Jabber, so what is missing next? No Hell Abomination or Doom Wheel? No Treeman Ancient or Treekin? No Stegadon and Troglodon?
Because most of those units are going to be way harder than Jabber would ever have been.
