Thanks to some clever blokes over on the Total War subreddit, we've discovered the unit art for all of the new soldiers that shall be arriving alongside their various Legendary Lords. So without further ado let's plough fully into the new factions, the hints about their mechanics, and their units!

      I mean.. I rather have 3-4 more good dlc's with the final one being an "end time" major one than 7-8 smaller cash grab at this point.
      Pricing aside dlc's in WH 3 are actually pretty solid (I know it might be an unpopular opinion). Shadows of changes 2.0 is probably the biggest LL dlc.. chaos dwarves are pretty damn fun... warriors of chaos dlc was a GREAT addition to fill the void of units in many rosters and now this seem pretty much on par with SoC 2.0.
      If it wasent for the price and the release state of WH3 it would be a good streak imo.

      Idk how to put this delicately but this community has always had a really tough time with appreciating the reality if how most people think. Can't tell you how many times I've rolled my eyes when people bring up "full hobgoblin dlc." ridiculous stuff like that will not happen. It would almost certainly not be profitable but people just have a fantastical idea of what's going to happen with this series and how far it will go. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that's all the dlc's we get and I'd be happy if they we're all solid dlc's and never have to see another shadows of change situation.

    Thrones of Decay has the same amount of units as the Tomb Kings DLC (more if we count the RoR's), and adjusted for inflation it comes in at the same price.
    Just judging by that alone I'm hella excited to get my hands on it. I expect Ungrim's campaign is suddenly going to be a lot more exciting with this update. That Fanatical link can't come soon enough!

    • @SleepyFen
      @SleepyFen 2 місяці тому +10

      I'm not too sure about that. I think it's more a question of them being able to track more accurately what kind of content people are interested in paying for. If nobody plays Nurgle or are interested in getting content for them, then many will simply choose to purchase the Empire and Dwarf bits and save some money, and CA will probably conclude that making more Nurgle additions isn't worth it.
      Its also possible this release model yields better sales if we assume people who are only interested in one faction out of a dlc won't be willing to pay for all of them.
      It's testing the waters and getting more direct and tangible feedback on the purchase behaviour of the consumers. And on the opposite end, the consumers getting the option to only pay for the things they want is nothing but great.

But if people aren't drawn into playing Nurgle by the faction rework and the Nurgle part of Thrones sells exceedingly few copies, then my guess is we probably won't see them offered on their own in the future again, because it would be hard to justify developing content that ends up losing money.

  • @andrewohoro
    @andrewohoro 2 місяці тому +19

    I think the Spirit of Grungni (just Malakai's army on the campaign map) will function similar to the Vampire Coast's faction leader ships. He might be a pseudo horde with upgrades he can make to the ship, some of which grant army abilities to friendly armies in a radius. Maybe even an army ability to summon the SoG into battle for a short time.
    Nuln Gunnery School/Amethyst Armory sounds a lot like Ikit's workshop, though they could go the Chaos Dwarf route with unit upgrades.
    Chieftains are the bit I'm most excited for. Sounds kinda like Wulfhart's heroes, though hopefully they're lords (personally not a fan of hero spam). Each one he recruits might give him access to units he wouldn't normally have access to from Norsca, WoC, and Chorfs. Super cool, should feel more like a WoC campaign than a Nurgle one.

    • @ProduccionesPaquito
      @ProduccionesPaquito 2 місяці тому +2

      I think these predictions are spot on. Really hope the chieftains are lord, and it does seem like it. In the trailer you can see a war mammoth, and I'd wager that's actually one of Tamurkhan's norscan chieftains riding a mammoth.

  • @NotNewButYork
    @NotNewButYork 2 місяці тому +3

    Ok, since Sotek mentioned it at the end. @DLC campaign supplement book content monster-post:
    From Tamurkhan: Thrones of Decay we got:
    Tamurkhan and his host, Drazhoath incl. Trains (bonus: CD Army 5th ed.), Elspeth incl. Landship etc.
    This book is essentially done. (assuming Van der Kraal is the RoR Landship only the Siege Giant is missing)
    From Warhammer: Storm of Chaos (2004) we got:
    Legion of Chaos: Archaon's faction (Hellcannon first appeared here) - missing: Crom (LH), Flayerkin (a siege unit)
    Daemonic Legions: Be'lakor's (as Dark Master) faction
    Grimgor's 'Ardboys: Grimgor's faction - missing: Borgut Facebeater (LH), Ruguld's Armoured Orcs (heavy armour, crossbow RoR), Effegy of Gork (not technically a unit, imagine it more like a Skaven Clan Stone, a buff shrine)
    The Slayers of Karak Kadrin: this DLC
    The Cult of Slaanesh: Morathi's faction
    The Army of Sylvania: Vlad's combined faction (with his Empire units)
    The Errantry War: Repanse's faction essentially
    Skaven Clan Eshin: Snikch's faction - missing: Rat Swarm (Plague Rats) - These were also part of "The Bubonic Court of Nurglitch" (Warhammer: Lustria (2004))
    What's missing?
    High Elf Sea Patrol: An Army heavy on Lothern themed units (Sea Lord/Commodore, Storm Weaver/Mist Mage, Lothern Sea Guard, Lothern Sea Rangers, Merwyrm)
    Defenders of the Empire: The Army of Middenland: This includes Boris Todbringer, Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir, Knights of the White Wolf, Knights Panther (yes, Knights Panther specifically, it's in the list), Grandmaster Of the White Wolf, Seneschal (hero level Grand Master) of the White Wolf, Priest of Ulric, Teutogen Guard, Hunting Hounds, Warriors of Ulric (a version of Free Company essentially, uses Mordheim models), Wolf-Kin (State Troops with Skirmisher and Stubborn special rules, uses State Troop models)
    From Warhammer: Lustria (2004) we got:
    The Red Host: Tehenhauin's faction. I believe it's complete (except Snake Swarm (Snakes), Jungle Swarm (lizards, frogs) and lesser Swarm (spiders, bugs) - yup, the Lizards had a lot of these)
    The Bubonic Court: Clan Pestilens - missing: Nurglitch, the aforementioned Plague Rats (swarm), Plague Pontifex (Plague Priest lord), Plague Lord (Pestilens Themed Warlord), Stinking Things (Rat Ogre hero I think), Rat Spawn (somewhere between a Rat Ogre and a Chaos Spawn) Rotten Rodents and Pusbags (Clanrats and Skavenslaves with some special rules, Cloud of Flies and Dying! (yes, it's what it says on the tin: lose D6 models each turn, but they were dirt cheap))
    Rodrik (Wulfhart's Hunter): He's mentioned in a mission lore blurp here, never had rules or a model.
    From Warhammer: Conquest of the New World (2005) we got:
    The Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast: All of them and more... so much more.
    Missing: Lost Legion, Tichi Huichi's Raiders (both are in Warhammer Chronicles too)
    From Warhammer: Dark Shadows (2001) we got:
    Nothing, but it was only Truthsayers (neutral hero, caster life), Dark Emissaries (neutral hero, caster shadow) and Fen Beasts (Swamp-Spawn), all of those are also listed in: Warhammer: Storm of Magic (2010)
    From Warhammer: The Nemesis Crown (2007, in: WD 329) we got:
    Like the ones above, this one mainly brings mission rules and a campaign narrative. No new units here.
    From Warhammer: Storm of Magic (2010) we got:
    This is a campaign or mission book, but also a bestiary and spell lore compendium.
    It is easier to list what we're missing: Chimera, Unicorns (technically), Bonegrinder Giant, Giant Spined Chaos Beast (bigger Chaos Spawn), Cockatrice, Yhetees, Fen beast, Truthsayer, Dark Emissary
    From The Monstrous Arcanum (2012) we (god, I'm doing this now, aren't I) got:
    Again Easier to list what's missing: Incarnate Elemental of Fire, Incarnate Elemental of Death, (other Elementals are implied, but we don't know since Heavens and Light seem to manifest into what's at the core of Luminark and Hurrcanum...), Chaos Siege Giant, Colossal Squig, Basilisk, Exalted Vermin Lord, Curs'd Ettin, Khemric Titan, Shard Dragon, Preyton, Merwyrm, Warpfire Dragon, Magma Dragon
    From Warhammer: Annual/Cronicles (all of them, but mainly the last one, 2004, where everything got rehashed if it didn't get a book in the meantime, like Lizardmen or Bretonnia) we got:
    These are WD compendia. Rules published via WD got republished in these books. It was commonly accepted back then that rules which got canonized in these should be viewed as universally applicable.
    Well, we got Kislev and...
    It is, again, easier to state whats missing:
    Dogs of War, including all RoR (except those brought to us as part of other armies) and Characters. Halflings should be in DoW too, since this is where they were placed in their very last iteration. (makes sense for them to join Empire, Dwarf, Bretonnian, DoW and Kislev armies)
    The Giants of Albion are also part of the DoW too, since they follow the same recruitment rules and are available to them.
    A whole lot of characters.
    Some unit variants (eg. Steam Tanks with fighting platform).
    And some army lists...
    Wait, Wait! Thunder Lizards.
    now we're done.
    I believe that's it. Everything else is either in the army books (like Reiksguard on foot, WH Armies: Empire 5th ed.) or is just a lone character. If I forgot anything pls tell in this thread with source so that we may build a missing unit compendium and where to find them.
    Bonus: The "Thing in the Woods" is from Mordheim, released in Town Cryer #28/Empire in Flames (2003)
    ergo: Empire in Flames is open for business, which would mean the Mordheim core rulebook and all Town Cryers are too... wishful thinking...

    I'd still love to see a full on engineer themed dwarf LL. Grimm would absolutely fill that hole but as you suggest he'd likely be better as an FLC lord. There is definitely some scraping that could be done to get together some units though if they were so inclined. I posted on a reddit an example.
    Legendary Lord - Grimm
    Legendary Hero - Josef
    Generic Lord - Grandmaster Engineer (mainly for theme reasons but they could go crazy and give them some of the wilder inventions)
    Generic Hero - Priestess of Valaya or Brewmaster
    Unit 1 - Grudge Pony - brewery support chariot
    Unit 2 - Rune Guardians - monstrous infantry
    Unit 3 - Unit with crank guns - Dwarfen version of Ratling gunners
    Unit 4 - Unit with Cog hammers or Shard Dragon (frankly i think cog hammers are cool and I am ambivalent on shard dragons unless GW let CA go crazy and make it like a runic stone creatures) - this spot is hard, shard dragon has rules but if a SEM is going to happen see next. Also not sure how I would balance cog hammer infantry with Hammerers.
    Unit 5 - Rune Golem - I confess I LOVE runic stuff, I love the idea of runic golems/guardians and I do think its something that would really pop with Dwarf armies. I know there is a lot of push back on Dwarfs getting SEMs but I just think it would be neat.

    Is Malakai going to be a horde dwarf version of Ikit Claw? The Spirit of Grungni is probably works like the Vampire Coast ships (like everyone else have said) but it’s also a workshop and Malakai is know to not give a shit about traditions since becoming a slayer. The Spirit of Grungni might also work like the Forbidden Workshop where Malakai can upgrade dwarf ranged weapons like canons and aircraft.

    The Spirit of Grungni being a Horde-like system is super interesting to me. Or maybe it's like the Forbidden Workshop, spending Oathgold to give buffs to Thunderers, Gyrocopters, Thunderbarges, and other pieces of dwarven engineering.

    Seems like the Spirit of Grungni is going to be a campaign mechanic and not a unit which I am thankful for because they could never do it justice on the battlefield with it being far too big. It would need to utterly dwarf (haha) the Thunderbarges we see in the trailer and I couldn't see CA doing that.

      I think it's more likely to work like Vampire Coast flagships than a Black Ark. Seems much more likely that it will be attached to Malakai (like VC ships are to their LL), not a separate entity that moves on its own (like Black Arks).

    Landships were the idea that preceded tanks in the real world, infact the group that built the world's first tanks was called the 'landship committee'.
    It's one of those ideas which was massively impractical in the real world but sure feels prefect for the empire.

    Like I would love for them to finish off the forge world books with the other children but for the most part that would be written from scratch.
    Character packs would work best if they were in race based packs rather than 1 at a time etc. And I hip that is a whole host of heroes as well as Lords.

    As for the "only 6-7 more DLCs" thing, I strongly feel like that's people deliberately taking things out of context to stir drama for views again.
    Its more than extremely likely that the 6-7 DLCs mentioned means they have plans for those locked down, while any releases beyond those are still in the concept and brainstorm phase. They need to workshop every dlc concept and pass it by GW for approval, and the fact that they already have 6-7 more lined up rather than just 2-3 means they're working quite far into the future already.

    Also not a character that wants to lead an army/ that wants to fight for land or glory.
    Perhaps a LH to buff your melee forces, as he is such an iconic figure.
