So I figured that I'd sate my unbearable lust for Immortal Empires by playing a bit of Troy. Didn't work, it just made me wish I was playing Warhammer 10x more.

They posted the release time for IE on the official Twitter. Spoiler: it's 3pm BST (10am Eastern/7am Pacific, for those of us trapped in Naggaroth).

All my meetings after 10:00 am on Tuesday have been suddenly postponed or canceled. Strange. Edit: even weirder, My Wednesday has been cut in half and Thursday is completely empty now. Odd, just odd.

I still have 31 unused vacation days and all my plans got destroyed by plague and war… …guess this'll be my life in the coming days. I haven't played a single campaign to conclusion since my original Vortex HE campaign. Guess it's finally time.

Antigravitas posted:I still have 31 unused vacation days and all my plans got destroyed by plague and war… If you want a completeable campaign then all of the DLC factions (including Brettonia) typically have a non-conquer the world victory condition. Which still involves a lot of fighting, sure, but less "kill these dudes then control this land." Norsca, Brettonia, Tomb Kings, Vampirates, etc. That said the variable invasion game setting also is an ultimate campaign victory if you defeat it, so it depends how much you like hell fights. Or, at least, they did all have different victory conditions. Admittedly the new IE update might have changed their short/longs around, but I would assume the campaign mechanic squad still rolls with their mechanics.

I requested Wednesday and Thursday as my days off ages ago. And due to a sudden bout of COVID in our company, I'm working the early shift on Tuesday instead of the late shift. Which is a very happy coincidence for me, not so happy for my coworkers.

I know, I have played a lot of campaigns, I just get bored when my main army is kitted out and I get extremely bored if I have to hold more than 2 regions. Drycha was fun, but the gimmick wore off too fast. I severely dislike everything about Bretonnia (and not just because they are French). …I do wonder how Dawi play if they get access to some Empire cavalry.

May have been stated before but the Slaanesh Chosen with hellscoruges have 0 AP damage, less than zombies and peasants. As such, they cannot beat anything with armor as they simply don't do any damage, even when they hit. I hope CA does something to make hellscourges more unique and useful.

As such, they cannot beat anything with armor as they simply don't do any damage, even when they hit. I hope CA does something to make hellscourges more unique and useful. That's not how armor works. Every time a model takes a hit they roll a number between half their armor value and their full armor value and reduce incoming non-ap damage by that %. Slaanesh Chosen will nearly always deal some amount of damage with each hit until enemy armor gets to around 120. The problem is vastly overstated but 1 ap would also be nice. edit: Even at 120 armor Slaanesh Chosen will deal some amount of damage 66% of the time. And it doesn't matter if it was 0 so long as they can hold the line unless your tactics stop at smashing front lines together until one side loses edit 2: Don't forget that people were complaining about Slaanesh being a straight upgrade compared to Nurgle (who also has tradeoffs) before we saw the ap values.

More units should do 0 AP. It's really weird how everything does SOME degree of AP damage. Make armor more useful and make "AP" an actual valuable thing.

Randarkman posted:True and those are specifically a weapon crew. I still don't expect them to just completely abandon and redo the existing design characteristics of the Chaos Dwarfs. They probably will look alot like that. i think you're right that they will be a similar style to the weapon crew, albeit with bigger hats. the weapon crew chorfs on the train artillery look like the ones in the hellcannon crew in-game, with smaller/no hats and the like metal aprons  (i couldnt find an officially painted one in a decent resolution)

IE drops Tuesday, CA pulls a pro gamer move and drops hints about Chorfs on Thursday to keep the hype train rolling. It won't happen, but I wish it would.

Am I missing something with Khorne's Skullcannon? I'm just messing around with vs AI mode and this unit just seems awful. It's an anti-infantry artillery that runs out of ammo very quickly, misses most infantry units, and has a bad firing arc?

It's an anti-infantry artillery that runs out of ammo very quickly, misses most infantry units, and has a bad firing arc? They can fire while moving and replenish ammo in melee, so use ranged attacks to shoot enemy units in the flanks/rear and then order them to melee to get more ammo back. Skullcannons are more of a close-range fire support than an artillery peice.

I haven't played with it but I believe it gets its ammo back if it kills stuff in melee and it's faster than most artillery, so maybe it's supposed to flank, fire into the backs of enemies quick at closer range than most artillery and then charge into a nearly breaking unit? Might also just be poo poo though, very possible.

That said, I never really found its fussiness to justify over another unit of exalted bloodletters but it is better than it seems at first glance. Honestly I would have used them more if they were faster to recruit: I couldn't justify the momentum lost by recruiting them.

I think the lore appropriate response is:Cardboard Fox posted:Am I missing something with Khorne's Skullcannon? YES. IT'S A KHORNATE WEAPON. USE IT AS KHORNE COMMANDS. IT'S A MOTORCYCLE WITH SPIKES AND ROLLERS AND BLOODLETERS ON TOP, USE IT TO POP WHEELIES ON FOOLS, SLICE AND DICE. SPILL ALL THE BLOOD. GRIND FOOLS EAT THEIR SKULLS SHOOT THEM OUT THE CANNON But yeah what everyone else said too. It's a chariot with ranged capability really and it reloads in melee (via eating skulls). Don't really know how optimal it is really for MP/campaign but that's the gimmick.

You wouldn't need slayers if you gave them hybrid infantry because they could just shoot then melee anyone threatening the back line. Double down on the ranged aspect and give dawi more hybrid units and give them giant flying war machines. When the chorfs come out then start thinking about unique master engineer ordinatus stuff like a super steam tank or crazy artillery pieces. I want a steam tank that has an organ gun in the turret.

Any new units that might get added to the Dwarfs are irrelevant as they are destined to forever lie dead at the feet of the Chorfs. The only Dwarf faction that has a chance of lasting longer than turn 10 is Grombrindal, and that's only because he's on the other side of the planet.

Has CA said definitively what you need the “old” Warriors of Chaos DLC for if you buy the new pack? I’m guessing to have access to the LLs from it but you still get the factions if you only buy the new pack?
