Hippo For Hire, mostly teaching/beginner content for Total War Warhammer 3
Demons of Chaos | Warhammer 3 Beginner Builds
A Series on beginner build in Total War: Warhammer 3. In this series we will cover one faction at a time and talk about how you can build for this faction. We will aim to create together one build that is good against a lot of different factions, and that should be manageable for a beginner to use to help you win against other beginners/intermediate players. These builds can then be later modified as you learn more about the game and the faction.
Let me know about any questions you have on the builds or the tactics needed to play them!

Warhammer 3 Clash Review, Part 1: HouseCatofWar
What would you recommend to bring as greenskins if you suspect your opponent to bring a lot of single entities
If you expect your opponent is bringing a lot of (large) single entities, you can do a couple things 1. bring a second spider, 2. try to win on infantry alone (e.g. capture weight), 3. bring gorbad instead of wurzag and one or two spiders. Depends on the single entities I guess and how dangerous to your infantry they are.
for countering SE bring mangy marauders ( ror Wolfs), if the SEs are large , then bring 2 bolt throwers , spider archers and rusty arrows. You can also use goblin and ork shaman missile spells to chip away 500-700 hp per overcast. If the SE are foot characters, avoid them, ignore them and focus on taking out opponent’s mobility, then infantry
Alternatively , go full gork : bring an orc shaman with all the melee buffs and 2 giants to snipe SE. Have fun
I feel if you don’t delete your proposed build and still go through the units one by one it’s nice, cause then one can already think the units more in context of what else will be in the build aswell
Thanks for the feedback! I think I like deleting and go through the units one by one so we can focus on them one at a time, and then add my overall discussion of how they contribute to the build later. But also I could talk a little more meta about the army, and why THIS build works specifically
Awesome. I've been playing through a Gorbad campaign, so I may try them out in multi-player. Thanks!
Definitely give them a try, they're a ton of fun!
It Is important to save build under general banner xD I mention that base on my mistakes :D, there is an issue when you want load pre made build its searching regards to banner, not faction in quick match
Man, you're eally underated, deserve way more subs!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
just waywatchers have more archer range with 190 ig
Thanks for the reminder!
😅
No dogs?
Great question! I forgot to mention it in the video but ScrambledEgg recommended not bringing them for beginners, much for the same reason that I don't recommend too much light cav in other factions, they trade down heavily into most things, so they have some uses as blocking backline dives, but they're very hard to use effectively, so a unit you want to phase in as you get more comfortable with the faction
@HitmanHippo that makes sense
What are you thinking about shadow warriors/walkers and Alit Anar? They are my favourite elves around
Both are fine, neither are amazing IMO. But I do really like the shadow walkers and probably are good in some match ups. Alith Anar can do some respectable poke, though it's slow. So playing these units is super kite-heavy, which is fine, but a bit hard for beginners and even top level players to pull off.
Thank you for the beginner domination army guides. It makes it a little less daunting for folks like myself
Glad to hear you're enjoying them! More content on the way!
Awesome build. Huge fan of the vampire coast, although it can be pretty tough to get the guns to shoot depending on the map. Thanks for showing the formation, as that's huge, especially if you've never used a gun line faction like this. Looking forward to the formations video as well!
Vampire Coast has such a cool aesthetics but it can be hard to start with them, and definintely a lot of their success is about waiting to engage and formations, so it felt extra important! Glad you liked it!
the ultimate empire cav
Congratulations on 100
Thank you!
These are so great, keep up the excellent work
Thanks glad you're enjoying them!
This was great. A friend and I were running some matches, and he's learning high elves. Im sure this will be helpful! I keep seeing Demons of chaos ranked pretty high on total tavern but am unsure how to play them. Could be a good one for the series.
I'll add Demons of Chaos soon! Waiting a little bit in case they change a lot with the DLC, but tbh I don't think they'll change too much. DoC is one of my favorite factions
Dark Riders (Shields) not only have bronze shields over the regular version, but also 6 more melee defense. Not bad value for 50 more gold.
Yeah absolutely! Definitely preferred!
I dont plan on playing much Norsca, but this is excellent for understanding them better if im ever matched against them.
Yes me too! I'm learning a lot about the factions as I go. I've played them all at some point to varying degrees, but it's been interesting to get other people's recommendations on factions too!
Dark elves are quickly becoming one of my favorite factions besides lizardmen and kislev. Thanks for this!
Yes! My favorite faction.
Great guide for a balanced dark elf army! You mentioned bringing shades to kill armored infantry; for a beginner I’d recommend spending a little more to bring a medusa instead. Much easier to keep alive I think, and great burst damage on armored infantry
A good point, and probably the right one, not sure why I thought that the medusa would be hard to keep alive, thanks for the tip!
@ Sure thing! Medusa can be hard to keep alive if the enemy has a canon or deathshriek, but otherwise they are pretty fast and easy to keep behind your frontline to constantly poke enemy infantry with big shots
The burst damage is what I like about Medusas. Their shot cooldown was increased a few patches ago, but as an SEM they can quickly reposition between shots anyway. You can/should maneuver it almost as much as an Exalted Flamer.
Hippo doing what we wish Turin would do
I asked Turin if he wanted to do it and he didn't respond so I figured I might as well haha
There's no audio 😢 Edit in Narrators voice: "There is, in fact, audio." 😂
I can hear audio when I play it! Maybe check your settings?
Oh, dur. I'm not sure what happened there. Thanks again for the awesome content!
what about slayer pirates ROR?
I personally am a fan of it, but it's a little tricky to get good value out of it now. Because the guns are short range and kind of low dps, and the buff is much less then it was
Do have suggestion for shutting down enemy's artillery in the backline as a Lizardmen?
Yes! Probably the best strategy if your opponent has a lot of artillery is building up and attacking them everywhere at once with all of your Kroxigors and your cold ones. If they spent a lot of money on artillery they'll have a hard time defending everything.
Hi HitmanHippo, Could you maybe go a bit into which matchups a faction is good or bad against for the 3x3 pick and ban system or what a faction does really well or not? Love the videos, very helpful!
Yes! this topic might be worth doing a whole video on, but generally you just pick the factions you're the most comfortable with or the ones you think can win the most match ups. Thanks for the question!
I've been using a similar version of this for a while now. My friend, whose learning has been trying to beat it, but even im unsure how. How would you go about countering this?
That's great! Yeah I think it depends on the factions but either 1) you run away from it and fight where the shredder isn't or 2) try to kill it with arty or high dps missiles. Sometimes you can bring like 3x strong single entities to beat it but that's pretty risky
with what faction? any shooting faction can punish the shredder especially mobile shooting. You can kill it with just marauder horsemen throwing axes
My favorite faction! Perfect. I've been running Bears shredder build in a bunch of matches. I'm also a big fan of adding a build without DLC for friends just picking up the game
Are artillery worth using with empire?
Yes! Cannons are good in a lot of match ups, hellblasters sometimes make sense, and Sunmaker is still one of the best arty units. Takes some practice though protecting them, so in Dom I don't recommend beginners using them until they're a bit more comfortable with micro.
@ I see, for beginner players, what sort of army would you recommend? The one ya show or another one? Trying to learn empire as my first army to bring into multiplayer which brings me to my second question, any good servers to find games?
@@TheHeretic0099 The army that I show is a good one to start with! And as for servers, you can shoot me a message on discord and I can give you one to the RAT clan, and I can help you get to the Turin discord too
@@HitmanHippowhat’s your discord?
@@TheHeretic0099 It's just "hitmanhippo"!
Awesome. Trying this against a friend who is playing Ogre kingdoms for the first time. Doin the lords work here friend :D
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@HitmanHippo He uh... had a real tough time with the Natty Buboes 😅😂
@@NobletheKnight Haha good to hear it!
Dude, yes! This is exactly the content for the TWW3 multitiplayer golden age we need!
Any chance of doing some Dark Elves or Lizardmen soon as well? Awesome and well needed content, thanks!
Yes Lizardmen will be soon! Dark Elves probably a little later, but I'll put it in the cards!
Awesome stuff, commenting on each for the algorhithm. Maybe sharing what the factions you introduce are strong or weak to could be helpful? Thanks!
Thanks for the comments! I'll probably do a "beginner tier list" after this series for how tricky they are to play.
Id think there would be more missile infantry, although ive never played dwarves 😅
It's a delicate balance, if you bring too many missiles, you have to defend them, and it gets exponentially harder the more you bring!
Dude, Thanks so much for doing this series! I'm getting back into domination mode and this is perfect.
audio is very good 😃
great job putting these together.
love those - as a side effect getting insight on factions that I never played to be able to play against them more effective aswell
Good guide, but there's that strange noise in the background, most likely it's your fans running on max settings if you could turn it down for the sake of recording. Sadly the other guide has the same issue.
The struggles with sounds continue! It's my computer running in the background (and struggling to function ha), and my mic isn't doing the best job picking me up for some reason. I'll keep working on it to find a better balance!
can do slaanesh if you want :D
I'll do Slaanesh!
Some might say that this video is too….short
I like how you mention the faction banner. Choosing a banner that’s similar to your opponent’s is a super important step that most beginners overlook
Definitely, nothing better than making Turin say "oh they picked the same faction colors" haha
Thanks again for streaming this Hippo! Always nice to watch and gather ideas. Too bad in the end both of us ended up losing to the same old Dwarf gyrocopters lol
And very gg to you too! Our game was fun and you played it well. Yeah the gyros are annoying for sure, but I could have done a better job prepping for them

Thanks Zebra!
Wow, super cool!
Very nice
A map creation video would be epic
Sick games. That seeker was going crazy at 6k value.
Lmao the Ai channel logo is awesome
Recognized your name off Turin Videos good luck on yt!
Uhh, my point control in mid game really was kinda lacking ... could have grabbed some of them much earlier. Also: Armies assuming highly tactical positions and the Hippo solving maze puzzels outside of the map. Should have brought some crayons xDDD We both will get better at hype casting eventually. Probably. Maybe. It isn't even that important :eyes:
Mazes >> Warhammer tactics I suppose :D. But yeah somehow most of the engages happened off the points for you. I think it doesn't help the points are circles and very hard to see.
