>no jezzails

no jezzails that appeared yet, my nigga

>no rattling gunners

Can't decide if I want my first campaign to be as the Witch King or mothafuckin Thanquol

They're in the trailer

warpfire throwers are in the trailers but rattling gunners are not.

So which race gets cut out of the game and sold as Day 1 DLC this time?

All of them, you will only buy the campaign map

If by Day 1 DLC you mean "Free for all who buy up until one week of release", then it's Norsca (which you unlock for Game 1 too)

ArchWarhammer crybaby legion is here

YOU ARE LITERALLY correct

"One completely new feature for Total war is how Skaven settle. Their settlements are beneath the ground and allow them to develop huge cities away from the view of any opposition. Known as the Under-Empire, it allows for a huge element of surprise as all Skaven settlements are seen as ruins until an enemy attempts to settle or explore the area.

This stealth development also means that the Skaven can build up huge armies in secret. These armies, being hidden from view, can be used to surprise and overwhelm enemies quickly. Skaven tactics at their finest."

Thank god the speculation was right, this will be really interesting if the AI doesn't cheat. I wonder if they will also have a better underway mechanic than a shitty stance

Helo Rato, my old friend...

Gee what a surprise.

>start to expand your faction
>every time you settle a ruin it's a gamble whether it's a real ruin or a hidden Skaven city

Spooky.

dumbass chinks

Huh, nice. I thought they'd go the easy way and just make them work mostly like everyone else.

Skaven are jews though

>Another faction with the fightiness mechanic

Pls CA no

shut up chinaman

I thought the Dwarves were jews

>only care about money
> write everywrong ever done to them and remind it constantly
> giant noses
> smelly and stunted

Why do they have the Bike thing from Star Wars Episode 3?

youtube.com/watch?v=31Z5gkfH_CE

It's a Doomwheel.

They just added a retarded sci-fi sound affect to it for no reason.

I understand the reasoning behind it, but I really do wish we could just have Warhammer on PC.

Goddamn that is a terrible painting of Thanquol. He should have the artist flayed alive and eaten by Boneripper.

Its a shared thing

>rat imagery doesnt even need mentioning
>world conquest plans that everyone
Ignores and dismisses as conspiracies
>no proper homeland, they spread like a virus worldwide and act as parasites
>12 main tribes

I thought skaven were funny and cute rat people who blow themselves up with malfunctioning gatling guns, why are all the trailers so grimdark and disgusting?

You're a fucking retard if you thought that.

Warhammer is grimdark and disgusting.

Dwarves also have separate Clans, and keep to themselves, isolated and mistrusting outsiders. Orcs are the Muslims banging on the gates, trying to destroy and take the holy Karaks for themselves.

Dwarves are a little bit like antisemitic stereotypes (big noses, hold grudges, love gold), but you can thank Tolkien for that. Also Dwarfs were based on Nordic mythology as well.

Skaven also have some antisemitic stereotypes - they are the enemy within lurking in your cities, they have a big global conspiracy, they are obsessed with warpstone (gold) and the big one: they poison wells.

Skaven are also based on the rat people from Fritz Leiber's 'The Swords of Lankhmar'.

When will the ratto demonizing end?

Warhammer is grimdark incarnate and Skaven are arguably the most disgusting race in Warhammer.

If you thought Skaven were some sort of furry Warcraft Goblins, that's your own mistake.

Skaven don't exist. They're amyth.

They looked like comic relief to someone whose only exposure to Warhammer Fantasy was Total War and some shitposters in 40k threads.

>Orcs are the muslims

What? No dude, Orcs are lower class British soccer hooligans.

Also Savage Orcs (and sorta Forest Goblins) are a slightly racist caricature of sub-saharan Africans.

Araby are the muslims ffs. Albeit they are less "allahu ackbar, islam is the best" and more "arabian nights/alladdin".

>BEST STRATEGY GAME COMMING THROUGH
Blocks your path

They're a comically evil race of cannibals and traitors.

Neither of these games have selfie technology.

Checkmate, ayytheists.

>Araby are the muslims ffs. Albeit they are less "allahu ackbar, islam is the best" and more "arabian nights/alladdin".
probably because the neo-jihad against the west bs has only existed for a couple of decades

>racist caricatures

C'mon now son

But High Elves, Bretonnia and Dwarfs are just regular high fantasy, right? I mean flagellants and inquisitors seem a little messed up but over all the empire is clean fancy armor, puffy hats and jesus with a hammer. Seems pretty light compared to the 40k pendant.

>reddit rats

Damn, i wishi total Warhammer 1 had these comic like cutscenes

yeah, only 140 decades or so

they're a race of chaos abominations

Ratmen? Sounds heretical.

I don't mean they're literally the Muslims, but they're the hordes right outside of the promised land threatening to break in and ruin everything. Dwarves are Jews, is my point, not that Orcs are Muslims.

WH40k is way more over the top than most of WHFB, but none of the Warhammer factions are really "light" compared to most high fantasy.

High Elves are arrogant dickstabbers, Bretonnia is only a cool place if you're a noble, otherwise you're literally lower than dirt, Dwarfs are insane when it comes to their grudges and there are several stories in the lore of them wiping out entire villages because they suspected one guy didn't pay them enough for their work.

They're funny because they talk funny, repeating verbs like seek-find or kill-kill etc. They're also almost comically evil, willing to stab literally anyone in the back. Also because they have such little regard for their own kind, willign to engage in friendly fire or have their contraptions blow up.

But they're also very gross, very evil and in the setting they are a global superpower and huge threat to the world (if they could just get their shit together).

They skaven don't even have 12 main tribes.

You Sup Forums faggots are pathetic

Never played Total War games but I like CK2 and EUIV.

Which one is a good one to start with?

1.) What rat imagery? Big noses? what? Lots of races in warhammer have big noses. Even Ogres have big noses

2.) This is just a Sup Forums mindset

3.) Skaven do have a homeland, skavenblight

4.) There aren't 12 main skaven tribes

Didn't they get their shit together, crash a moon on the lizard people and overrun the parts of the old world that chaos didn't reach yet?

The Council of Thirteen is literally the leaders of the 12 main clans plus the Horned Rat.

Can someone explain the appeal of Skaven to me? I've never particularly liked them apart from when they blow up half their own armies on tabletop. In lore they seem like dumb mary sues ala old necrons. The only time I've ever seen them get completely btfo was when Grimgor killed all that one clan's rat ogres and called them shit.

>Jews are smelly and stunted

literally what, Jews are neat freaks if anything

and I've never heard of them being "stunted"

honestly where do people get these stereotypes.

The idea of ratpeople sounds funny but Skaven are pretty much as Grimdark and Disgusting Warhammer gets.

They pretty much cause genocide whenever they fight one of the races on the surface and love to resort to assassinations and plagues. Their society is also a cutthroat meritocracy to the extreme where women are kept drugged up in cages semi-comatose and drugged up where Skaven who have proved themselves get to mate with them to leave offspring.

And proving your merit pretty much comes down to eliminating your rivals in whatever way you are able.

>Grimgor killed all that one clan's rat ogres and called them shit.
I'd like to read this.

cannot wait to slaughter all stunties and rename their dumb mountain karak eight squeaks

They did but the end times are queationable in quality
Still impressive work though

Nice. Now all I need is for the the next game to have Ogres and Tomb Kings.

>tfw the combined campaign won't be added until after release

Jews have historically been compared to rats.

Sup Forums didn't create the jew conspiracy theories, they're a stereotype going back generations.

Same as Israel, it's their center of worship but the fuckers are spread around the entire world with their own clan bases that have no qualms in going against Skavenblight if they can get away with it. Loyalty goes as far as how much the council can fuck you up.

>Council of 13
>Minus 1 that is the Horned Rat

I want to slide my tongue from her navel to her neck

It's less proving your merit and more climbing the social ladder through assassination. Slight difference being that proving ones merit implies that Skaven have the capacity to respect one another. Shakev are constantly scheming against eachother and shittalking their subordinates. Children of the Horned Rat for WHFRP is a fantastically entertaining read. They don't make source books like that anymore.

Tomb Kings will be DLC for this game.

The third game will be Ogre Kingdoms, Chaos Dwarfs, plus the different Chaos factions and Daemons.

No it's not. There are 10 clans on the council of 13. And only 4 of those positions are permanent, the other 6 change constantly. There are 4 "main" clans, MAYBE 5 if you include clan Mors

Sup Forums needs to learn about what it's shitposting about

...

>Karak Eight Squeaks
>Dwarves writing in the new name as a specific grudge on its own

>crash a moon on the lizard people

They tried and nearly succeeded, if not for that pesky Superman and his damnable master.

He went to the second largest Skaven hold, stood in one corner and waited for every single rat to storm him and butchered every single one in the process. Thing is the city he attacked was "Hellpit" which was known for all the abominations the Skaven had. So he pretty much solo'd the monstrous units all on his own until he got bored and left the place because of the stench the dead rats around him caused

Damn I was thinking of totally skipping this game and waiting for sales in 2018. I am total burnt out on warhammer 1. THis looks sick though.

Might have to buy another ssd.

>Jews have historically been compared to rats.
The only imagery I can find is Nazi propaganda which is fairly specific

>Sup Forums didn't create the jew conspiracy theories, they're a stereotype going back generations.
"conspiracy theories" aren't a jewish stereotype, though it's really telling that "whites" stereotype jews as being smarter than them

>Same as Israel, it's their center of worship but the fuckers are spread around the entire world with their own clan bases that have no qualms in going against Skavenblight if they can get away with it. Loyalty goes as far as how much the council can fuck you up.

god, you're really reaching. You can do this with anything. Skavenblight is Ireland, the skaven are irish. Irish were compared to rats. Irish are plotting to take over america. ALL of these were said in turn-of-the-century america

>one grudge for taking the hold and killing everyone inside
>one grudge for changing the name
>they're equally important

...Is...Is that a deheaded skaven in the middle powering the machine?

Fuck man.

Okay, you got up, and I'll go down.

I didn't even finished the first one and now i want to play with these rattos

>powering the machine
Look at the bottom

what would it sound like?

I'm pretty fucking hyped, I don't want to pre-order but the trailers they have been releasing for the new races are getting me way too excited
also the potential influx of skaven r34 is gud too

no she's all mine. you can't have her.

Nah, that's just the driver.

And he's not beheaded, he's wearing a helmet and cloak.

Fucking Grimgor, can't he solo armies in the game aswell?

muh pol

nah dreadlordfu is cutest, especially when shes getting stabbed

either by me or queek

It's made of wood and rusty metal. It's driven by wheels, gears, and unstable magic. It should sound like a rattling deathtrap, not a like some sort of space jet.

>trailer running at 60fps

Don't make me fucking laugh. Did they try and optimize this time?

Nice try schlomo

>mfw

...

i would guess the space jet sounds are just warpstone reverberations

but I see what you're getting at.

That's enough out of you.

...

Warhammer is the best optimized Total War game to date.

...

Don't really care. Am I supposed to be excited about this? lol you're a bunch of fucking losers.

pretty weak bait 2bh
