Party Elite put out a very good Araby ideas video. In spite of her name, I think Jasmine Silverveil sounds like a pretty dang cool LL, always up for more ladies. I think her and the Golden Magus sound like solid picks. Maybe have him start out down in those desert areas near Teclis and have him focused on making money or something while Jasmine is focused on uniting Araby. Maybe you could have the Great Sultan and have him carried around on a palanquin kind of like Thorgrim and his bodygaurds do all the actual fighting while he buffs nearby troops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfkTSpLY2XU The big problem with Araby is that I think CA said they wanted every new faction to start with 4 LL's which sounds kind of insane. B ut even without that they're pretty pressed for space with how compressed that part of the map is in the game. MilitantBlackGuy posted:in the mean time, there is a pretty amazing Araby mod in the works for Warhammer 2, check out this showcase Man, I'd forgotton that melee for older TW armies were usually literally just 3 different spear guys. I have no idea how they're ever going to go back from Warhammer. Nothing else even compares in terms of creativity and versatility.

people keep bringing up the 4LL thing but im fairly sure they just said they would do 4ll instead of campaign packs. so factions like bretonnia, norsca or chaos that werent campaign packs would still not release with 4

In fairness I felt they had some refreshingly progressive views on LGBTQ matters, it was just expressed poorly. Orcs don't care about girl bits or boy bits.

Given Jasmine is an entirely fan-made character for the Warhammer Army Projects book, can pretty safely say we won't be getting her. In fact a quick google search shows she's a model from an entirely different miniature company, so yeah she's completely off the table. I'd wager we'll get Jafar, The Golden Magus, and Al-Muktar. Don't think the four LL's thing is set in stone, more so when CA is dealing with pretty limited content.

Hell yeah, Black Arks not adding to supply line effects makes them way more valuable. You still need to babysit them sure, but they'll still be worth pumping out. That basically means that instead of just raiding with the Arks directly like I'd hoped, they just trail around behind your raiding armies which works almost as well. e: High-loyalty dilemmas with rewards too, neat.

Back in the day when 40k was reaching it's zenith Warhammer was retconned to explicitly be in the 40k universe, at least for a hot minute. The planet was at the center of The Maelstrom, a big chaos tear in space, the collapsed polar gates were Webway entrances and Sigmar was one of the missing Primarchs.

They can trigger the ability at once across multiple units and dissolve chunks of your charging line I use the pause function for this sort of thing in critical battles. It's especially fun when you line up a few things you want to happen simultaneously, like a cavalry charge combining with other units/debuffs or a net combined with a heap of spells/abilities/ground targeted fire from multiple sources. It's always fun to give a plan to all your guys, then hit play and watch it unfold while you go  as hard as you can.
