Ethereal units suffer against Dwarfs because of their magic damage, all Dwarfs have an inherent 25% magic resist. All Ethereal units do magic damage, so they suffer a 25% reduction in damage output. A Dwarf unit with magic damage will absolutely melt Ethereal units as well.

Something skaven and lizardmen also have in common is they both secretly saved the world from destruction

The Skaven accidentally saving the world from Nagash is probably my favorite story in-setting.

Zore posted:The Skaven accidentally saving the world from Nagash is probably my favorite story in-setting. A Skaven SPEC OPS crew found the last great king, and handed him a sword of pure radiation. As his body and mind were melting, the Council of Thirteen focused all of their magic into him, and basically controlled him like a fantasy FPS, which blew out most of their minds. e: I'm putting a bet on Middenland. Forest Goblin/Spider Goblin conflict has always been a huge deal in the Drakenwald, and the Empire needs a secondary start really badly. They use bows. It lets them introduce the Hunt Marshall they hinted at during the Skaven Stuff. It gives them a chance to rework the Empire. That region is cold, and near/alongside Nordland. Ideally it comes with a much larger overhaul of the Empire politics system. I just don't think it's Norsca. What would a Norsca campaign even be? Fight the other tribes for 50 turns before becoming Chaos Invasion pre Chaos Invasion? Fight the other tribes for 100 turns before Chaos shows up and you have to fight them before even Kislev does? The hints feel more like misdirection then they do genuine hints. Rookersh fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Perhaps the norsca dlc will also include changes to the existing chaos faction? It would make a great deal of sense since norsca is a subfaction of the warriors of chaos anyway

Is it just SFO or is it also in vanilla that if you're beastmen wood elves will devote their entire existence to hunting you down

At least smashing Empire stacks is way more fun than trying to chase down Norscan stacks or crashing into Kraka Drak stacks as Chaos.

Personally, I hope this means it's easier for the order races to do diplomacy with Norsca.
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Kanos posted:Man, with how great and full of variety TWW2 looks, if game 3 is literally just "LOTS OF CHAOS" it'll be pretty hugely disappointing. Elves riding phoenixes fighting dinosaurs riding on other dinosaurs is a pretty hard act to follow but "four different flavors of daemon army and maybe some tweaks to black metal armor mans" isn't that appealing to me. chaos finally split into their Power Metal, Death Metal, Glam Metal and Black Metal variants.

Zore posted:Brettonia really wasn't 75% done before the FLC. They added a ton of unique mechanics and models compared to the barebones version available in multi. Really the only new things where the LLs and chivalry, pretty much everything else was already in the files in some form, which is why the Bretonnia mods that were popular seemed so fleshed out. So long as the art exists somewhere, the rest of it is extremely straightforward, especially if you, you know, have access to all the dev tools. I could make new Bretonnia horse archer units with the existing assets in like ten minutes with just the PFM. Mazz fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Well, you also have giant Tibetan ogres with yeti support, insane giant-hat black-metal Babylonian dwarves with Mongolian hobgoblin outriders and depending on just how they feel about going army-bookless, possibly an expedition of terra-cotta steampunk Chinese with monkey warriors. Plus the demons aren't just big red guys. They're, giant friendly plague corpses with their guts hanging out, flying screaming discs, flamethrower birds, crab-ladies and also some big red guys. Also there are lizardmen and tomb kings just south of that, not to mention orcs as well as a town of imperials there as well.

Mans posted:chaos finally split into their Power Metal, Death Metal, Glam Metal and Black Metal variants. Honestly a four way well done chaos split could be really cool. They could easily get some non army book units to flesh out the factions. Each faction could be just as distinctive and unique as the eight from WH 1+2.

Deakul posted:Dang, if it's Norsca then who's the Old Friend DLC?!  My guess is it'll be Krell. The Old Friend mystery goes back to release so it's probably one of the four original factions and nobody plays Kemmler anymore but he constantly asks "Where's Krell!?" and one of his quest battles mentions looking for him.

Wafflecopper posted:I always thought that was pretty dumb. You fought an army of rat-men with lightning guns, poison gas grenades, and a giant wheel? Must be some kind of beastman, they are after all known for their technological innovations Skaven fighting open pitched battles is a lot rarer in the lore than it is on the table, the number of dudes in the Empire who've seen them up close is not that high. For most people most places in the Empire, at best they're going to hear that someone somewhere fought a battle against an army of giant rats, and their local priest is going to kindly explain that these things get exaggerated and it's probably just the story getting confused and who ever heard of Beastmen using guns etc. etc.

What about the Dwarves? They have major grudges against the Skaven, and good relations with the Empire; you'd think they would be talking about them more.

10th of August release date for Norsca. Gives us a month and a half to rinse that before TWW2 comes out.
