Both Wulfrik and Throgg are good and buff up different units but you can't go wrong with skin wolves no matter who you're playing as. Wulfrik's start is probably the easier of the two.

Skaven being able to settle anywhere and have them be stealth cities disguised as ruins seems pretty fitting and simple solution, there has never been a turn-based campaign map with a second underground layer that hasn't been terrible in any game it's been in.

After watching the Skaven intro, I have a hunch that the end of campaign boss will be Thanquol (with Boneripper) all vortex'ed up. He'll still be DLC at some point of course, or at least I hope so.

I never knew how much I was wanted to play a rat people faction. Mein body is ready! Doesn't look like they have a warpstone dependent mechanic though?

Seems that intro explained it, gather enough warpstone to summon a Daemon strong enough to take down Ulthwan's defenses, then claim the vortex and unleash ratty hell. £10 the final boss is said Daemon.

Watch him be stabbed by a gutter runner at the end of some cinematic at the beginning of the Skaven campaign.

They were talking about food being a mechanic, so maybe food is their regular currency and warpstone is a different mechanic. Food makes more sense as a regular currency for them, since they're all always starving at all times and can eat their enemies directly, so sacking/razing a city and defeating an army is a buffet.

It sounded a lot like Wood Elf Amber in that you have a global supply and can use it to do things like pump Skaven Corruption in a province to up your number of clanrat summons in battle, or instantly upgrade a settlement to a higher tier. Also running a negative balance impacts growth and stability.

I can see warpstone being an amber-like mechanic that skaven need to build cool poo poo like doomwheels and ratling guns.

yeah food seems like a special mechanic, warpstone tokens are their established currency in the lore man queek looks really cool, i can't wait to see who else we get.

Which skaven was it that's supposed to be chilling in K8P? One of the skaven in the intro was talking about stuff in dwarfholds, maybe that's a hint at potentially having skaven stuff in the old world?

I thought the Skaven voices would be more high pitched and snivelly, but other folks have said the voices are very close to the ones in Vermintide

Queek Headtaker, who's confirmed as one of the legendary lords for TWW2 but a lot of people (me included) would like to see him moved to Karak Eight Peaks for the combined campaign, replacing the Mutinous Gits.

yeah im looking forward to that, it got really tiresome fighting the same opponents over and over at the start of every campaign. then by the time you get to someone else chaos rolls in and kills them before you.

Considering: 1) The first game races are all present in the second game 2) There are some stand-ins for what will clearly be different races with DLC I can see them porting a few things like Skaven back into game one. e: A Google search for Thanquol has a model of hire riding some four armed rat ogre with bug guns. Yes?

So hype for rats. I was not expecting them to put in the Hellpit Abomination. I just want to see that thing move; its animations must be crazy.Cythereal posted:That's Boneripper, yes.
