For fun some Chaos Dwarf Lore and the Likely Legendary Lords. Astragoth Ironhand High Priest of Hashut The Chaos Dwarfs are ruled by the High Priests of Hashut the Sorcerer-Prophets. The Sorcerer-Prophets meet a grand conclave to discuss their plans of domination. All Sorcerer-Prophets are technically equal, as they have no leader or formal hierarchy. However Chaos Dwarfs respect age and knowledge just as much as normal Dwarfs, so the ones with the strongest voices are the oldest and most powerful. Astragoth Ironhand is the oldest living Sorcerer-Prophet and thus has the most influence among all Chaos Dwarfs. Astragoth was also known as the most powerful sorcerer the Plains of Zharr had seen in a 1000 years, but his power has started to wane. Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers are slowly turned to stone by their usage of magic (Probably a side effect of Dwarven incompatibly with it.) and Astragoth's legs and arms have petrified, so he is reliant on mechanical grafts and devices he has incorporated into himself to move and continue his duties without assistance. He's still a powerful sorcerer and his mechanical legs and arms make him stronger and faster then a normal chaos dwarf, if incapable of riding one of their great beasts into battle. Still his powers are weakening and eventually his head petrify and leave his coveted spot as most influential Sorcerer-Prophet open. Zhatan the Black, Commander of the Tower of Zharr Zhatan is a powerful general among the Chaos Dwarfs, and is known to be the most black hearted and cruel of them all. Zhatan serves as the second in command to Sorcerer-Prophet Ghorth the Cruel, currently most potent of all living Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers. "It is said that when Ghorth presides over the sacrifices of Hashut the only sound louder than the screams of his victims is the gloating laughter of Zhatan." Zhatan spends much time away from the city as he is constantly gathering new slaves. The majority of the Dark Lands Greenskins greatly fear him and send thousands of their own kind in tribute to him without a fight. Ghorth's forges can barely keep up with his demands for weapons, which fuel his conquests, which fuel his demands in a vicious cycle. He's also allowed to ride a cool Great Taurus or Lammasu. Drazhoath the Ashen Once a promising and ambitious Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmith (A Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer skilled with magic and metallurgy, that has not quite yet reached the level of a Sorcerer-Prophet). Drazhoath caught the attention of Astragoth in a bad way, and was effectively exiled from Zharr-Naggrund (Their capital), to the Black Fortress a military base that serves as the home to the Legion of Azgorh, the Chaos Dwarf Penal Legion. Drazhaoth eventually took total command of the Legion and Tower becoming it's Sorcerer-Prophet representative. His power has grown greatly few other Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers can match him in arcane might or knowledge in the creation of war machines and Daemon-binding. Still he's a bit bitter as his ambitions have reached a peak. His lands and forces are far from Zharr-Naggrund and held in little regard. His voice as a lord of exiles carries little weight with the conclave, and none whatsoever with Astragoth the strongest voice who simply does not like him. Still Drazhoath sees opportunity knocking, as Astragoth is finally starting to wane. Drazhoath thinks he needs to gain a great victory, a massive amount of captives and loot that will boost his influence beyond his domain to help him secure prominence when Astragoth finally expires. Still he's not having an easy time as the Black Fortress is constantly under threat and fighting off enemies, so he's been unable to leave in search of his victory. Gorduz Backstabber "Stick 'em wiv arrers'. Stick 'em with knives, 'an swords, and spears. Stick 'em quick and stick 'em where it 'urts. But most of all, stick 'em when they's looking the other way." The most infamous Hobgoblin Chieftain in service to the Chaos Dwarfs. Hobgoblins and their leaders are renowned for their short lives which comes from a bad habit of killing each other for greater glory. Gorduz is both clever and lucky enough (The fact that his boney shoulder hump is just a mess of scar tissue shows his good luck in surviving back stabs) to have lived longer then most of his species thought possible. He has self professed his dream of being the second Hobgoblin to die of old age, or show that story to have just been a myth. While not loyal to the Chaos Dwarfs he has always been a very willing partner to them, as the Hobgoblins have a bad reputation among other Greenskins to the point that Chaos Dwarf protection helps keep them safe. And all Hobgoblins have to do in return is be assholes to slaves or send some of their comrades to fight in the front lines, an easy choice.

It's obviously even worse if Mandalore's right about not having it loving up animations now. Blood DLC is free if you bought it for any of the pervious games. Also the reason it has to be separate is to keep the Teen Rating.

Dr Christmas posted:Nagash’s old miniature is from the unified Undead army book, from before there was a split between Vampire Counrs and Tomb Kings. Google tells me he was an extremely high level wizard who was good in melee then too. Nagash's old mini was also a result of self sabotage. The Sculptor for his model, wanted him to look like a desiccated corpse. However his superiors wanted Nagash to be a skeleton. So the Sculptor purposefully made his skull very silly looking to try and get them to go with a resculpt with a non skeletal head. But his bosses felt it was fine and decided to use it as is.

Tzeentch in general has always seemed to me to have the least model representation, with Khorne and Nurgle getting all the love. Tzeentch has some good model representation. But it's primarily on the Daemon side instead of the Mortal one. Like even in AoS which has the largest mortal roster for Tzeentch has less then the other chaos gods, and it's primarily just heroes. Acolytes (Marauder Equivalents. Also should be noted they are not actually buff supermen, they are just using magic to make themselves look like that.)

I like the idea of say Arkhan, Neferata, Harkon or Mannfred being able to revive Nagash who becomes the new faction leader as an overpowered LL. I could also see when not being played for these factions to work towards Nagash’s revival if successful uniting under him as a threat other then Chaos. I would also love to see Drachenfels added, he could have a cool Undead/Deamon army mix.

Captain Oblivious posted:I can't tell if the Daemon Prince is just bad or not. His start is undeniably the hardest. Everyone, and I mean everyone, for miles around is gunning for you. Your economy is weak. What's more the Daemon Prince himself doesn't seem overly impressive? He is easily shot to pieces and the buffs from his component pieces don't seem that good. His skill tree is deeply strange. He gets good once he gets going for a bit. Once you become scary most groups stop trying to boat over to mess with you. Some of his parts are just upgrades on earlier ones and set pieces give him nice buffs. Making friends with a few of the Norscans around you is not a bad idea as they can work for you well. Skarbrand and N'Kari once they start going south are also good allies. I just got an Exalted Lord of Change to help him, so I am in a pretty good state with him. Also being playing with N'Kari and he's a blender.

Kestral posted:For folks playing Slaanesh, hold off on researching the technology Everlasting Gift until the patch hits. It claims to add +25 Devotees from Gift of Slaanesh; what it actually does is give you +5 devotees, and disable all other effects from Gift. This is a simple fix for CA so it'll definitely be in the patch, but until then, watch out. Slaanesh currently has some issues. Like I have two cults set up in Nordland, And despite having buildings set up that should give me 11 Suductive influence with Nordland, it's only counting 6.

Carcer posted:N'kari is interesting, an absolute blender but near zero armor makes them fragile. I actually managed to beat a similiar level skarbrand with him but it was a lot of hit and run cycle charging while chaff held him in place. I decided to test N'Kari vs Skarbrand 1on1. They are roughly equal. N'Kari's magic and ability to force Skarbrand to Rampage at a range before he can use his abilities, makes it roughly 50/50 who will win. Even if Skarbrand can use his abilities first, N'kari's melee defence and attack speed are good enough that Skarbrand can lose in a slug fest.

Around levels 12 to 16 or so Heralds will get the option to be consumed by an Exalted Greater Demon to summon them in. They seem to give half the xp they have earned to the new Greater Demon Lord. Also Slaanesh Cav and Chariots have been super great for me so far.

deep dish peat moss posted:As Demon Prince they at some point (based on levels I think) get an option to upgrade to Exalted versions of themselves, which resets them to half their level and gives them a completely different skill tree.

He's just somewhat rightfully suspicious of this cult of ice witches that took over all aspects of Kislevs politics right when Ursan disappeared, Boris was found encased in ice and an eternal winter started up. Like let's face it, if this wasn't Warhammer Katarin would come off as an absolute supervillain. She's even based on the OG villainess, the White Witch from Nania! The short story made him come across worst to me. Like a good number of the people he burned to death just happened to be there and got mesmerized. Like I only think he sounds more reasonable in the cinematic is because he's taking to Boris. quote:“She will not take kindly to an immolation in the shadow of the Bokha Palace.

Boyars are the worst example having literally 1 unique thing which is a slight buff at -50%hp but they're all super bare bones compared to wh2.
