*block your army*

implying you can get through my butter wall

What faction will Sup Forums play first? Me and a buddy are gonna start off with a Lizziemen campaign.

this is the coolest monster design i've seen in ages

The fuck is that?

Hell-pit abomination. You basically take a shitload of man sized rats and fuse them together with chaos magic and then mutate it some more and install some machinery to ensure it can still move there you are.

>when it dies a unit of slave rats pop out

It's literally just a model taken from the table top

>A game about warhammer armies uses designs from the warhammer tabletop game

Really makes you think.....

man too bad im so fucking tired of the total war formula
I just get bored after 3 hours, it's so fucking repetitive
I kind of regret starting this series all those years ago with Rome
I think Medieval 2 was the last TW game I was able to enjoy for more than 50 hours.

Why don't you play online where the real fun is to be had?

fucking Brutal

I don't really enjoy PvP in strategy games. I always feel pressured to perform at the highest level when I just want to chill out and take my time if need be.

those animations are seriously top-notch

Skaven fags disgust me

Who /dwarf/ here?

H I G H E L V E S
I can't wait to purge the unfit from the old world. Malakieth the "Witch bitch" is not my king and never will be the GW monkeys made a mistake making him the "true king" (despite being burned by the fires twice and Aenarion being burned a total of 0 fucking times).

dwarfs are done for though, right?
they won't be getting new shit in total warhammer 2, correct?

Have you seen the new entanglement animations? Dragons picking up Carnosuars and throwing them around.

Hopefully they will be getting a balance patch. Also CA throws out "Free"lc every once and a while.

what's there to balance?

How they are by far the weakest faction in the game due to how easy they get abused by factions that have access to cycle charges.

>mfw everybody is fighting over Skaven

Just as planned.....

really? I've always heard they were OP as fuck and one of the strongest because of the easy ass money

user they are universally agreed to be the easiest faction to play as due to an insane economy, god tier ranged units and artillery, and infantry that will fight to the last man, even early game units.

He was burned because people were paid to burn him, bitch. He literally would have become the rightful king had he stayed in the fire longer. There was HUGE amounts of fluff supporting this, with the fact how Phoenix Kings died in bad ways, either through suicide or extreme bad luck.

Oh were talking about 2 different balance things here.
I'm talking about online multiplayer balance you guy are talking about campaign. When played on the grand campaign yeah you can pretty much turtle til high teir then role, in multiplayer they are borderline useless.

>playing Total War Clone Army Multiplayer

No thanks. Arena is for that.

Edgy Delf player detected.

The combined map will be tits. Can't wait to forest the whole world up as Asrai.

And yes, High Elfs get the arrow too.

Not at all. Except he was the rightful king and the schism was literally because people didn't want Malekith to be king so they paid the Priests to essentially boobytrap the shrine.

>playing Total War Clone Army Multiplayer
I don't know what you mean by this, if you mean people use cookie cutter builds yeah that happens in any game where people have access to the internet does mean I don't roll over your meta "everything but the knights" Brett build with an all goblin army.

Not to spoil things for you but...

...Malekith has been confirmed the only true Phoenix King by GW during the End Times. Basically all High Elf Phonix kings were cheating bitches and used magic to shield themselfs from the Flames of Asur.

Delf cucks are always such disgusting worms rolling around going """""b--b-b-b-b-b-ut it was rigged! Truely the Dark jew is the Elves greatest king!"
End times might as be non canon honestly. So many OOC interactions and horrible choices made on the writing department (bretts just sit down and tell the lady to fuck off, lizards literally fuck off, Deathwing is killed by A FUCKING HORSE).
GW throwing the worthless peasants that are Delf players a bone with the "your edgy sex pervert of a king is totally the rightful heir" was just icing on the shit cake.

God that was a dumb revision.

No it wasn't. It was literally fucking stated in nearly every High Elf edition.

The fook. Seems good

>Archaon gets kicked in the nuts by Ironhide
>xD so randum

What a colossal fuck up GW is.

I can't fucking decide at all. I thought it would be an easy Lizardmen choice, but Skaven are cool and even the Dark Elves look sweet to play as.

End times need more alith anar, he is best elf and possibly oldest elf. He's so cool the gods show up to give him bows and he fucked malekiths mom-wife.

Skaven because i think theyll play like empire or high elves because teclis.

Agreed.

I do like what they did with the Delf forces in AoS though. Giving them a Batman treatment is kinda cool.

>Bel Shannar
>Killed by Malekith when Malekith found out the system was rigged

>Caeldor I
>Suicide

>Caeldor II
>Kill by Dwarfs

>Tethlyis
>Died in mysterious unknown circumstances

>Bel-Korhadris
>Died after completing his library

>Morvael
>Committed suicide by walking into the Flames of Asuryan again without the magical shield blessing

>Bel-Hathor
>Died peacefully (one of the only ones)

>Finubar
>Assassinated

Oh look at that, the Asuyran Curse which afflicted the Phoenix Kings because they were cheating to get to where they were caused the deaths of all but 1. All of this BEFORE the End Times.

I just wanna play Kangz and have a giant flying death statue specifically designed to murder other giant monsters in action already.

I know some people hate the action figure era of Fantasy but I still think Necrosphinxes are cool even if Ushabti are cooler

They're the DLC faction. So I suspect they'll get a dedicated mini-campaign, lucky bastards. I wanted Lizardmen to get it.

CA announced that they're not doing mini-campaigns for the DLC races this time around since they were poorly received. Instead each DLC race is gonna get an extra LL or two right out of the gate.

CA already said no minicampaigns, DLC factions just get to start with 4 Legendary Lords instead.

Well know they are honestly the heroes the mortal realms deserves. There new hydra thing is weird but I like it. But where are the elves Games work shop?

Also why are the Sarus cold blood riders models so hilariously dated

This, they should make Nagarythe a faction too.

>2 front legs
>4 spider legs
>2 rear legs
>1 rear wheel
>still drags it's underside
This bothers me more than it should.

Well to be fair, I haven't played either of the ones in the first game.

Truth to be told, in the old, old fulff their death were due to the High Elfs having the whole counrt intrigue shit going on.

Im starting as the master race

Such is life.

Because GW are bastards. Their range is still insanely good. Skink heroes are great.

The animations are great though.

yes? obviously? retard?

I mean its Skaven shit it could go through 40,000 years of testing and still come out a wreck.

>Didn't even notice the screaming rat heads protruding from the back of its neck
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The wheel doesn't even do anything. If it was at the front it might, but as it stands it seems pretty useless to me.

Damn, 60 FPS makes everything better.

The rear legs probably can't support the weight of it's own ass without the wheel.

KROQ-GAR ALL DAY

so this game is basically one giant DLC for TW:W 1?

Why is Kroq-Gar even considered such a badass anyway? When I skimmed over Lizardbro lore it seemed like it's only because he's the longest living Saurus.

A lot of the main Lizardmen troops are really dated. I'd be glad to have some of their cav in the tabletop especially since they got buffed just recently in AoS, but the Cold Ones just look so terrible I can't bring myself to do it.

Hopefully we will get Thanquol as additional Skaven Lord. Maybe some Ikkit Claw as well.

>PUBG
>WarHam2
>Xbone and PS4 games coming to pc by the masses

Don't forget. We will win in the end, console plebs. We. Will win. In The End.

That's exactly why
1) most lizardmen don't live very long to begin with
2)Lizardmen get stronger there entire life with no cap on their strength
3)He's defensive record is incredible, I don't think a temple city he defended was ever breached ever, unless he was part of that one temple city that gave Imperial Citizens safe harbor, but that was on purpose anyway.

He just kept getting better, plus he is a Sarus that can, with out the help of a skink or Slann lead an army effectively.

If they aren't clan Pestinet or Skyre they might as well not exist.

just wait on the other side of the map and let it die of nipplechafing from dragging them on the ground

Living for hundreds or even thousands of years, while constantly fighting and still being alive should say something, especially since I think that Saurus get tougher and stronger as they age.

I think it has regen that wont work.
There was a dude in /AoSG/ that was making an all cav lizardmen army and he was taking the cold riders from dark elves and using them with sauruses to do conversions.

I wish all this renaming non sense for AoS had a point other then to make it harder to find models. I wanted to do an order Draconsis army but then I found out that only 2 models even have that keyword
Jokes on them I just made a list with 2 dragon lord and 3 units of dragonknights thats horrible to play against

>temple city that gave Imperial Citizens safe harbor
Do Lizardmen mingle with the Empire?

>Why is Kroq-Gar even considered such a badass anyway?

Kroq-gar lead an army to fight demons that were invading the world. Kroq-gar and his army clashed with the demons in the outskirts of his home city. When an allied army was passing by the area, they found Kroq-Gar to their disbelief and informed him that his army had been wiped out long ago and that he had been fighting demons by himself for the last ten years. Kroq-gar's race of lizardmen assumed Kroq-gar had perished since his city was one of the first to be attacked.

If you're too dumb to understand what this means, it means that Kroq-gar for ten years, killed all the demons that passed his way, and they were unable to kill him despite decimating his army long ago.

Not very often, if ever. The event I was talking about was a band of mercenaries crashed on lizardmen shores and after killing a surprising amount of skinks and saruses the slann woke up and was like damn these dudes are useful and gave them safe housing and then left them a trail of gold out of the jungle (the trail also happened to go through a skaven nest as well that the mercenaries cut through).

I think some times they have meetings with the border princes, but lizardmen can't really speak with anyone else but lizardmen.

Does that invalidate him calling it a cool design?

How do I get into Warhammer fantasy?

I suggest you just play a game that is Warhammer fantasy then read up on the bits of the lore you liked. Eventually you'll get a full picture.
Alternately you could read a thousand novels but fuck that.

Thats how I got into 40K after playing DoW but I'd like to know if there are any good Fantasy games other than the Total War one.

Vermintide is pretty good, it's only $10 now and has a sequel releasing sometime next year probably.

But how I got into the fantasy was just playing the total war games and then reading some army books of the factions I saw, and browsing the wikis for it when I was bored at work.

Hm.
Shadow of the Horned rat is old but good if you can get past that.
VerminTide gives you a good taste but not really a full selection of the world.
BloodBowl and Mordhiem are fun but teach you literally nothing about the setting other then a few cut scenes.

Total War is pretty much the way to go, but I also suggest watching some battle reps of the table top, as stupid as it sounds watching some dudes play with toy soldiers for an hour is sometimes really fun.

>the only true Phoenix King by GW during the End Times.

Wow! It's fucking nothing! End Times is the Dragonball GT equivalent of the WarHam world. Let's just pretend it doesn't exist, we will all be better of for it. It's also clear that the next fantasy game is going to be 40K. It's basically set in stone at this point.

I want to fuck that rat.

always skaven

You can always just read the lexicanum online if you're interested in lore. Personally I like the fantasy lore better than the 40K lore but they're both cool.
