I assume WFB has some equivalent?I mean soldiers in a normal war wouldn't wanna be on the front lines with a bunch of guns or cannons shooting at you either, which is why you train your soldiers to follow orders. Definitely dead men walking though, for sure.

Sometimes all it takes to defeat a huge monster like a shaggoth is some dudes with puny swords and rolling some 6s/1s on the dice rolls for hilarity to ensue. It's funny whenever some peasants punch a legendary super badass monster in the groin.

It didn't die and, assuming its absolutely horrific luck hadn't continued, likely would have killed them in a later round if the game time hadn't run out(friendly basement game, so it was a literal someone needed to leave) but it's still the most horribly off thing I've ever seen. I don't think they even wounded it, it just could not break a 2 on its attacks. The Bloodthirster causing even a single wound to the slaves in that situation would likely have won the combat, and given these were slaves they probably would have routed.

Modern horses are still pretty terrifying. A horse attacked me once. For no reason. Bit me on the shoulder and shook me around like a predator trying to break the prey's neck. gently caress horses.

The everyman with a sword and shield facing down eldritch terrors and hordes of 9 foot tall murderous fungus is kinda the Empires thing. gently caress your fancy loads of magic and hordes of elite troops, all they need is Guts, froompy clothing and mustaches. Also handguns, handguns are nice too.

The closest you come, really, is the Warrior Priests of Sigmar. They're there to lead the men in battle and inspire them to greater heights though, not hammer men who flee in the face of terrors. Witch Hunters are definitely more homicidal but from what I recall in the fiction they weren't nearly as common as the Sigmarites and rarely led or accompanied troops into battle.

Witch Hunters are more like Inquisitors. They travel around looking for signs of corruption and witchcraft and deal with any they find. Being Warhammer, their competency ranges from "will spend weeks in careful detective work to root out the true source of the problem" to "gently caress it, burn everyone who looks a bit odd".

They're less crazy than inquisitors though, because they need to justify their actions to the local authorities. They might torch a village if they discover the villagers were complicit in hiding mutants or something, but they'll need to tell that to the local governor when he comes by asking why he has one fewer village to send him taxes/merch/recruits. It makes the whole thing decidedly less over-the-top than inquisitors can be.

If you gently caress off and flee from battle, Helborg gives you a disapproving look. Way worse than having your brains blown out by some SS knock-off.

Same effect really. Even obscured by the manliest mustache in the Empire, a stern frown from Helborg has been known to destroy the minds of lesser men.

I just want my Dark Elf Knights on Cold Ones, cause those were cool models. Well, the one I used like 15-20 years ago were at least, later editions looks kinda meh. Is that too much to ask for? Also, have there been anything on Chaos and whether they are worth pre-ordering?

Nothing so far. They're being very coy when it comes to info about the game. If they don't start doing 3rd party preview streams etc soon I'll probably write it off as a pending train wreck.

I once saw a video of a horse loving up a pitbull that attacked it. It was simply merciless. Also a horse once tried to eat a friend of mine's shirt. Don't gently caress with horses. Bastards were bred for killing dudes long before they did farm work. Though they were probably originally domesticated for mare's milk and later for pulling wagons for nomadic people, then the wagons became war chariots then steppe nomads made horses that could bear a rider and made saddles that could keep him in place, then the killing lasted until the 19th century.

Now imagine that instead of horses, the other dudes are mounting giant carnivorous lizards or monstruous bronze killing machines infused with the essence of pure murder, the Warhammer world is a bitch.
