40k, the most cringeworthy setting this side of Fallout Equestria.

Have we already forgotten Age of Sigmar or are we pretending it doesn't exist

I wish shieldless infantry units would have some kind of advantage over the shielded versions, instead of just being worse in every way.

I will say though that the autoresolve being way off can be seriously annoying, as dwarves I'd always be heavily unfavored yet I'd handily win with minimal losses. I ended up having to play out every tedious minor skirmish because if I didn't a half stack of greenskins would ransack my T2 settlements

The sounds of it suggest it's a pretty small addition, though.

Unless I'm blind or stupid, nothing in that post suggests it's smaller than any of the other race packs :confused:

Whatever it is, if you guess it right you apparently get some code to redeem somewhere. Perhaps some cosmetic DLC?

It's a wallpaper, for now, which looks suspiciously like the kind of makeshift town man-sized rats might dwell in, if they existed. The page indicates there are seven more rewards to come as the "ritual" page updates over time

I can't help but wonder what people's reaction to a race that reproduces by kidnapping and raping men would be like

A fantasy race that kidnapped men to breed with them would almost certainly be drawn as sexy amazons so probably no male nerd would complain

He is a unique ability of Kremmler.

That's lame. Hopefully some modder will make him a passive always-on summon instead.

Someone already made a mod to turn Krell into a permanent "legendary hero", essentially just a boosted, unique Wight King, if anyone's interested

I think it's probably referring to CA's 30th anniversary, not the 30th of july

edit: which would be august 18th

If it's Thanquol I hope we get the cool skeletal-rat-automaton incarnation of Boneripper rather than the awful, Age of Sigmar-y end times version

Please CA I know you have better taste than GW does

They should reintroduce Squalor as a mechanic but have it give bonuses instead

Here's the roster, for anyone who missed it (like me)

No Ratlings or Jezzails

Honestly, given the incredible work they put into the Hellpit Abomination and the Doomwheel, I think they use their resources wisely. HPAs are going to be way more fun to kill than ratling gunners

Yeah, I don't mind. And we do get rat ogre mounts for lords :toot:

edit: though yeah leaving out verminlords does seem odd

Blood dragons are the lamest tryhardest of undead, let's throw them on the Age of Sigmar pretend-they-don't-exist pile with demigryphs and stormfiends

Sassassin is always wrong about everything but calling someone a bitch IS inherently misogynistic and excusing it with "it's very common" is stupid

It's a few pages back by now but someone discovered he'd liked a bunch of nazi videos on youtube or nazi music on spotify or some poo poo.

You can buy the DLC and just play as trees while still murdering elves

i mean fantasy is waaaaay less fash than 40k

But has far greater overlap with historical wargaming fans, which are probably 75% nazis

Well I mean they just straight up used "cathay" and "nippon" rather than change anything at all

edit: BUT there's also "albion" where it rains every day so it's not only the far east of the warhammer world that's supremely low-effort

All new models are worse than their older versions because GW has had an obsessive drive to make their miniatures look more "epic", "awesome" and "badass", which hardly ever works out.

It's really bizarre how much some of these grognards prefer the older historical games to this one, given that the older ones had much less unit variety across all factions.

It's harder to point to a sentient tree-monster or an orc riding a boar and say "these are my ancestors and I would still be this badass today if it wasn't for feminism/immigration"
