I hope one of the enemies is a Doom Wheel. but with rats.

I would be down as gently caress for this as a boss fight.

The response to learning Warhammer has Aztec dinosaurs is usually 'gently caress yeah, bring on the Aztec dinosaurs'.

This is entirely correct. Picked this up with a buddy, going to get our other buddies to pick it up because gently caress pubbies.

I want a Blood Dragon who is just a literal murderhobo. Like, they're all expecting a knight in shining armor and it's just this crazed swordsman in a ragged old coat who just wanders from place to place looking for fun slaughters.

Why does the Witch Hunter's starting sword have ammunition? Is there a gun attached to it?

This game is loving awesome. My Warhammer Fantasy RP group all picked it up to play together and I just got done with my first couple rounds; got a blue double-barreled shotgun for the dwarf on our first couple runs after we staggered through the sewers all at grey to escape to the coach at the last second.

I can't wait to try out all the other guys.

What do you do against those armored rats with the polearms? There's always a dumb tooltip when I fight them but I either read it or get swarmed to death by the game. Are they immune to light attacks, melee attacks? What do I do against them?

I'd tank them with my shield and push them over while my Soldier buddy hit them in the face with a hammer, that seemed to work well.

What's the trick to the end bit of Supply and Demand? We got a couple bags back but then the game spawned multiple Gutter Runners, so that didn't go well.

The trick is to treat it like beloved bag-throwing simulator Payday 2.

So just keep chain-tossing the bag while turning around to fight?

It feels like Soldier and Dwarf are best of friends forever. One takes a two hander, the other a shield and hand weapon, and together they just smash all the rats and ogres for eternity.

I kept telling people the flaming sword was near identical to the wizard sword, but nooo, everyone was just dying to set people on fire.

If you're not a pyromaniac, I don't know why you'd even Bright Wizard.

So one of my buddies goes 'HEY GUYS! A LOOT RAT!' and rockets off after it while we're healing up. During the ensuing chaos of trying to save him, he's apologizing the whole time and we're getting chain-hung by packmasters. We somehow got out of it, but holy poo poo.

And he didn't even get Sackrat, I nailed the guy a few moments later with the crossbow.

My very first time playing we ran into a gunner, a horde, and a Rogre as the very first special spawn we found.

We died.

The dwarf's crossbow, even if you don't get a headshot, seems to stagger a ratling gunner out of his shooting stance.

This was very helpful.

The Hunter is that kind of guy who's so drab and dreary that he becomes fun, though. He is a Cool Dude.

And I like to think the Elf is actually just the elf equivalent of a teenager who's trying to play off what an ancient and powerful elf she is with all the sarcasm and passive aggression.

She has been accused of burning a mill with someones son inside which is why he arrested her.

Also note her being an official and sanctioned wizard is why she's under arrest and being returned to the colleges for trial instead of being shot in the face.

Aren't witch hunters in fantasy basically like inquisitor in 40k in that each guy perscribes to certain levels of acceptable magic going from No gently caress magic -> Some magic is okay but dont go crazy -> gently caress it all use all the magics the chaos gods wouldnt have back.

They're more of the Wizard Cops. A Witch Hunter's duties include checking the licenses on College trained mages and also hunting down rogue ones or dealing with Wizard Crime.

Assuming he (or she) can get someone to back them up. Hunters aren't given nearly the cart-blanch that 40k Inquisitors are, and have to make a case for why they need troops for a situation or be forced to settle for what mercs and thugs they can hire.

I mean it's a canon detail that the Rat Catchers have been fighting a secret, heavily covered up war with the Skaven for ages and their guilds have saved the world multiple times already.

I mean the party is already basically a high level WFRP party as it is. Champion, Dwarf Champion down a different career route, Master Wizard, Witch Hunter, and Waywatcher? We just skipped the shitfarmer tier and got right to 'Okay, your PCs can kill infinity ratmen.'

I like how the Elf constantly talks poo poo about how crappy the city is that the soldier lives in. loving elves.

Like I said, the elf is an insecure teenager in a foreign land who is talking poo poo to hide that she's loving terrified and very far from her dear, sweet, time-bending and child eating hellforest.

The best part about Warhammer Elves is they act like elves do in every other setting but nobody just takes that poo poo.

Not fancy enough.

They know Science specifically so they can base their fencing style off the latest in geometry and trigonometry, and their school demands they narrate their own fights to describe to their opponent exactly why it's mathematically impossible for him to win from his position.

Diestros are the exact right kind of ridiculous.

He's a dwarf surrounded by grudges to settle and foes to cut in half. If he dies, it's a good doom. So why not have the time of his life and try to save the world?

Dwarf is awesome.

The dwarf just started going on about how he and Kruber were like two old dwarven heroes at an ancient hold, and Kruber responds with "I have no idea who those are, but thanks." while the dwarf starts singing and the elf tries to throw shade.

I love this game.

So, does losing any Ward lose you the end of Wizard's Tower? Because me and a friend just made it through the very end of that level with one ward like 1 hit away from dying.

Also, my first handgun for the Soldier is a blue, from that mission. I think this'll help a lot more than the blunderbuss; I needed a good anti-armor/special for when I'm using him.

Thankfully it was the last wave and we won moments after.

We were doing the sewers, and come up to get to the wagon only to find a Ratling gunner camping the ladder. We kill him, then notice we're still taking fire from behind. There was a second one right behind us, also camping and putting us in a crossfire. Nearly lost the run right at the end.

Also, on Wizard's tower, I ran into a pair of Ratling gunners who killed one another off-screen trying to shoot us, I think. It's the only reason I can imagine that the characters were going "RATLING GUNNER!" and we never saw one, but found two corpses in a narrow hall later.

Warpstone, man. Not even once.

Holy poo poo, the Soldier's handgun is so much better than his Blunderbuss. I wasted a Packmaster and a Gutter Runner in a single shot. They shouldn't have lined up like that.

I'm really glad they said 'gently caress it' and gave the Hunter 48 loaded pistols like some kind of early modern Matrix lobby scene.
