Squibbles posted:a bit of an unusual situation to be fighting an army with zero range or flying units. But still a crazy result. I wonder if the ammo is only for the big main gun or something that wasn't firing much? I dunno What's the slaanesh and khorne counter to a thunderbarge? chaos furies get shot up and route even if it stands still instead of outrunning them, or it just sits near their own gun line and they clear any flyers off it.

Jeff the Mediocre posted:Dumb lore question, but do the chaos lords choose a new name or are they born with it? I thin Archeon chose a new one but Valkia didn't. Does this mean that Mr and Mrs Slaymaim named their child Kilgore? What happens if little Bloodskull decides to worship Tzeentch or decides to go the Empire to worship Shalia as a gently caress you to their parents?

JBP posted:The ai doesn't give a poo poo about attrition on any difficulty more or less. It's still fairly gnarly on them on easy (only 30% resistance), and is something they should pull out into the tweaking tab like they did with stat buffs to the enemy imo, because it is pretty bad in its current implementation. The AI is absolute poo poo about understanding attrition, so giving it some resistance to it just to deal with the "dumb as poo poo" aspect makes sense, but at higher difficulty levels its just a malus against the player and that sucks rear end, in addition to a number of factions pretend that its something you should be using against the AI, which also makes it a player trap. The ultimate game design sin. As a note, I suspect this is part of why the AI is so bad on the Old World map - you actually need to move across some considerable distances in the map and the AI is soooooooo bad at dealing with bad terrain/corruption.

I'd be curious what an aggressive cycle charging of furies could do to them. I've been rethinking harpies/furies since Mercy demonstrated during a livestream the other week that they are crazy effective against towers as long as you cycle charge.

Thunderbarges have 13k hp, are missile spells able to dent that before running out of magic or time before it pays for itself?

Azran posted:At this point I'm sure Toddy will become playable once they release the Middenheim DLC, considering we know there's another Empire dlc coming. I don't see Toddy ( or Red Duke ) coming with a DLC. Both are already ingame, and CA has spoken in the past about how they view taking content that's already been released and reselling it as a red line they won't cross. I'm also not sure what they'd do in a proverbial Middenheim DLC. The Ulric units that people on Reddit keep yelling about were ( mostly ) kitbashes, they are statistically the same as the Sigmarite units we already have. They just have different furs/weapons on their model. This would also run into serious issues with GW as these units would need to be usable by every current LL, so CA would have to figure out a way for Ulrician units to be fighting for Volkmar in the Southlands. I think the more realistic approach will be Kurt Helborg LL, Ludwig Schwarzhelm LH, Toddy FLC with a focus on finishing off the various knightly orders/Imperial Foot. Add in a few Ulrician kitbash models of current units you can only use if you own Middenheim and Toddy starts there.

Assuming they can even catch and attack it, very little unless they can somehow stay in the front/back arcs, which is incredibly unlikely. Any side attack from small fliers just gets shredded fairly quickly by the onboard Thunderers. JBP posted:Couldn't you just cast pavane of slaanesh on it repeatedly while your speedy little dudes go around making GBS threads on the underwhelming ground forces? Didn't they change Rampage a while back, so it triggers at dropping below 75% and 25% HP? Pavane applies the effect, but you still have to somehow deal enough damage to trigger it as well. Also only works twice.

Queen and the Crone (high and dark elves) is currently less than €6 at indiegala, and Prophet and the Warlock (best skaven dlc + lizardmen) is €7.5 at Gambebillet, so for about €12 you can get all 4 races of TW:WH2, plus the extra DLC units.
