Comfy Warhammer 40k/Fantasy thread

Massive feel. Larger maps, more units to control, larger units. Definitely an improvement over DoWII.

I haven't really kept up but as far as i know the developer was bankrupted and has been trickling in patches/content on their own time.

As of yet i haven't had any issues in my current campaign at least.

Rogue Trader Tabletop Roleplaying Game, which I am GM'ing.

Lucky bastard. Everyone I know refuses to play Rogue Trader with me. It's like they don't even want to have a giant spaceship and explore the universe for high adventure.

Disown them. That's what I did.

>eternal crusade
>5/10 but potentially 7/10

Any good place to get the novels?

A little place we on the internet refer to as "Amazon". Or you could go outside to any decent bookstore or game shop.

Don't even act like that post was asking about buying the novels. Don't make yourself look that retarded.

I really want to get into warhammer where do i start? I know the universe is massive and both fantasy and 40k seem amazing to me.

>Eternal Crusade

2/10. Not even trolling. There's no reason to play this over Relic's Space Marine. It's literally worse in every respect, and it doesn't even have a single player component. Eternal Crusade is probably my biggest let down of 2015-2016. Huge potential wasted by fuckuseless developers.

go to /tg/ and look for the first post of a 40k general, there should be books archived on mega

Depends. If you want basic overviews of the lore watch arch warhammers channel. If you want more detailed lore use lexicanum or some shit. If you want story look to the novels.

Thanks

the fastest way is downloading a 40k rulebook and reading the fluffy part of it

let's be honest just for an instant: the tabletop game wasn't really popular.

Convince me that DOW III isn't going to be a pile of shit.

It looks like a step back in every way from II's squad mechanics and barely resembling the first.

Blame games workshop being liberal with licensing. They'll let anyone do it so long as it doesn't seem like it will pass people off outright or interfere with another license agreement.

*piss people

is Deathwing going to be any good?

what chapter is that even?
iron hands?
black templars?
raven guard?

nice bait

Crushing this thread

> larger units
5man SM squad is not a improvement, dow 2 is skirmish game at best.
DOW 3 have little chance of being warhammer game at this point with matrio terminators, shit cover and other crap.

Who else is waiting for DEATHWING?

Cyberpunky harlequin. MINE!

agreed. I tried playing EC again after a few months today and everything about it still pisses me off.
-lots of game sounds cut out, so you dont know when you're getting shot at
-every gun feels like its shooting wet paint
-the menus are frustrating to navigate
-spawn timers are way too high for how much of a clusterfuck every match turns in to
-melee dueling still feels like a complete dice roll.
-characters tend to stutter and jump around rapidly, making it very hard to track a target in a game where nearly every gun is a TTK based weapon. this also makes timing melee blocks a complete crapshoot
-every map has about 80% wasted space and the rest is filled with clutter, invisible edges on objects, checkpoints that'll make your ass bleed and the worst terrain for driving vehicles in.
-its still unoptimized and runs like shit
-who the fuck thought 40 player matches were a good idea?
-capturing a point takes fucking years
-vehicles all feel like theyre driving on ice
-quad cannons are either useless or insanely OP, depending on the patch
-keymapping is a pain in the dick because you cant just unbind commands
-every fucking map involves running for 30 seconds back to the action
-assault marines/raptors cannot effectively assault together because the jetpack stun affects allies
-anti armor weapons take way too long to kill vehicles and emplacements

What are some essential Warhammer games?

I only know about dawn of war and space marine.

Black Templars which looked to be the poster Space marine chapter for dark millennium and it makes the sting that much more painful

>crushing a thread with no crushing claws

true girls have big meaty claws

i probably belong to a very small minority here but i really love the campaign on dow2 and chaos rising

gearing up small squad, unlocking abilities and shit

retribution can fuck off with infinite health packs, grenades and units

not to even mention no defend the shrine missions

would be so happy if they ever made campaign focused dow2 like game with actual plot, more gameplay and other chapters not just meme ravens

Anyone here play return of reckoning?

I always wanted to start a goblin group.

i cant

yes

more warhammer skanks

All i want,
Is a 40k game about a detachment of imperial soldiers stranded on a space hulk.
Think Xcom with base management,
Manage resources,
Build defenses,
Sure up your position,
Send expeditions further into the hulk,
Aquire artifacts,
Find lost Imperial troops, Some from your ship, others from a while ago.
Including a few Space Marines.
Find new weapons and armaments.
Progress through a loose campaign with the end result being you finally escape the hulk
(You know to be cleansed afterwards to make sure you aren't infected with xeno filth)

Downloading it now.

TABLETOP games.
These are the hallmark, these are the pillars.

Havent played space muhriens, Im kinda sick of them( i know they are poster boys) but Othere than Dow series everything else is just 6/10 at best, I havent been excited with other games for a while(not from 40k universe)

Trips of truth.

All I've ever wanted is a good 40k tps/fps. Why can't that just happen already?

>no deldar
No. This does not please my dick. Crazy clown sex is only good once.

I'd play that

>finding any human on a space hulk whose been stranded on it and probably inside the warp while stranded
>wanting them to join your forces

thats how you get heresy son

>improvement

more is not necessarily better, friendo

personally im kinda pissed they decided to revert to a dow1 clone instead of creating something new or advancing on the dow2 formula. by the way, I want to point out that company of heroes remains a popular game even though it is very micro based. dow3 should have been a CoH clone, if anything. CoH is micro based with a strong macro element of base building, many control points and larger maps and thus many units being required for victory. why the fuck did they not just do that? dow1 multiplayer was fucking boring and full of cheesy turtle strategies

chaos gate (xcom clone)
dawn of war 1 for the story
dawn of war 2 for single player campaign/ dow2 retribution for multiplayer
space marine
maybe battlefleet gothic if you're into naval combat

so Halo wars turn based in 40k?

In other news I am quietly excited to gain BROZOUF on space hulks

So, we have a former Deathwatch member appearing along side Deathwing SM. Will we see Death Company, Death Guards and the Death Corp of Krieg too in an epic duel of death?

I don't trust a single company out there, especially with the tight creative control GW will have, to put out a decent 40k rpg. The only example I've seen so far, the Eisenhorn rpg, had a gameplay trailer which was shit.

>text on power sword is in english
>not in imperial gothic
dropped

>imperial gothic
you realize thats low gothic, right? Which is english (or well whatever native language you read 40k in).
High Gothic is what the non-plebs speak and its latin. I assume you meant to reference High Gothic.

Dropped on your head, maybe. It's been that way since the beginning. In modern fluff, it's the difference between Low Gothic and High Gothic.

High Gothic is common on relics and important equipment/whatever they are decoration. Low Gothic is common elsewhere, like what a guardsman writes on his tank or what a sisters might write on her bolter. One dark angel appears to have gotten some custom script on his power sword. I wonder if other battle brothers sperged as hard as you when they saw it.
>Ab-Absolutely heretical! You're no Dark Angel!

Most people who play rts spend their time turtling against ai until they tech and build a game ending army. That's why people are so hostile toward reduced based building and mechanics that force you to move around.
Most people are simply too afraid to play multiplayer rts

focus and relic have been spot on with their games so far

>bolter is called man-killer
I hate time travelling sjw pandering

Well those people generally enjoy the campaigns of the games. Then, once that runs dry, play against AI. Some games cater to playing against AI better.

Its not really an issue. Most people want that slow pace you get out of a turn based game, without the turns. So playing slow builders against AI can suit that.

4/5

Often like to play on crazy insane with HQ destruction victory condition for a counter to the absolutely mad Ork AI.

They just spam their class titans with the +1000 relic point side-effect 'free Ork titans', end up playing hide and seek with the dropships.

For some reason the Ork, Sisters and Dark Eldar AI all get boners for blood on crazy insane. Orks just wanna fight everything, Sisters light the world on fire if someone even forgets to daily praise their Emprah and Dark Eldar are just that aroused they're in a situation of mass murder and mayhem they'll apparently charge balls to the wall towards a Tau Broadside and Riptide firing line.

On that note I'm really looking forward to ripping some xeno scum in Deathwing, I've awaited a DOOM-level of intensity character focused massacre for a long time, Space Marine didn't quite fully deliver on the rip and tear factor.

>feels bare bones compared to the other titles
I'll bite. What goddamned other titles have more content?

Mordheim: City of the Damned.
I enjoy the individual stories of the characters I create develops as they pick up injuries, narrowly avoid them, or astonishingly never go down because they're some kind of avatar of The Horned Rat here to blight the empire for eternity. I also like the tension of combat, knowing that one mistake could lead to your best guy losing an arm or being straight up dead.
I don't like that there isn't a multilayer campaign and I would like more customisation options and factions to play.

Exactly, Gotta watch your squad incase you pick up anyone with the taint.
Then you may have to cleanse inside your base too.
But also, Say your ship was torn up on impact, so survivors have been there as long as you have.
And maybe you lost some space marine chapter a while ago.
And maybe you find that one half crazed space wolf who has been stranded here hundreds of years. And just his pure stubbornness has stopped him from turning.
All those years just fighting in the hulk.

>tfw no Ork focused game
>no chance to just happily fuck shit up with da boyz without a second thought

The Dawn of War franchise introduced such a concept but I would love to have some Orky third-person combat fun with modifiable vehicles for vehicle sections and stuff.

Is this one only looking at the mp? Because, while DC got bad mp, the campaign is way better made than the one in Soulstorm.

>Eternal Crusade
>6/10 (mostly because it is unfinished as fuck. The core mechanics are breddy good) and if the game had more polish, it would be a solid 8/10 for me.

The Empire has had several civil wars and they often have petty feuds between the provinces or small nobles. It is pretty much a fantasy Holy Roman Empire.

If only shit played like Spess Mahren.

Seriously comparing the jump packs alone from both games makes EC feel as smooth as a cats tounge

Teach me, Shas'O.

And yeah that ork shit is fucking insane. Hey look 20 Stompas behind 10 Sguiggoths 10 minutes in. Wtf

What do chaos marines do in their free time? How about space marines?

Yeah, Space Marine jump packs were way better.
I do think that the movement overall is however better in EC, because you aren't stopped on your tracks by waist high walls, can actually take cover and shoot from behind it, and general, are the mobility is much smoother.

The jump packs on orks, chaos and marines are just janky as fuck.
Swooping Hawk Wings are great though.
I love the way you can glide, make dives and fucking bombard people with grenades while you are in the air.

...

>What do chaos marines do in their free time?
They have no free time.

>How about space marines?
Depends on a chapter but it's usually something boring.

Holy fuck you just made me realize how fun an ork game would be. Just imagine a sand box styled game where you go fuck shit up with your custom ork vehicles in large scale battle settings.

When they're not fighting wars, space marines schedule is something like 20 hours of various training regimens. Then 4 hours of free time (1 or more of which is spent in prayer).

Mostly I'd like to either replay missions or have more flash missions available. My first campaign was a waste because I barely grinded, i messed up builds, and the genestealers swarms got relentless at the end.

The only reasons I would want an age of sigmar game would be to justify game play mechanics like constant respawning and unrealistic arena map designs, to smash sigmarines and if the licence for warhammer fantasy somehow wouldn't be possible instead.

the best way would be to have it as a multiplayer online arena with close combat elements like the recent for honor.

...

1 minute in between said repies
same topic
>still denies he samefags his own thread
really makes you think

If you're on Crazy Insane I can tell you their tactics by race usually.
All races usually rush you but the difficulty will act as a catalyst to decrease the effort in time before they prepare, as will the win condition affect their hostility.
But, generally, as Tau you wanna get your generators up fast and send your scout squads running while setting up a Fire Warrior firing line for defensive. Pathfinders should be upgraded to snipe oncoming early aggressors.

Invest in Broadsides and other suits and upgrade your shit fast, get your artillery out en masse and use dropships for surprise attacks with Broadsides and Crisis teams and then evac fast before they put you down.
Drop sniper drones at vulnerable points, put down a fuckton of turrets if possible near your base and build HQ's and generators in outposts.
If you can build 3 ion cannons, bring Riptides to the frontlines and assault bases with dropship attacks and air assault first.
You're weak, but you're fast.

It'll be a solid albeit very expensive 10/10 when all of the expansions/dlcs are out.

It's not difficult to get these warhammer threads are started by the same guy, but what's wrong with each poster leaving 2 posts on average?

>Le dow 2 is le bad!

Funnily enough I never bothered with Orcas. I figure I'll be assaulted superfast and all that resource and time will be wasted. Would be good if sniper drones were invisible too.

Also is it just me or does the UA mod make weapons that are only good for the listed target? Like in the base game and other mods I tended to rely a lot of stealthsuits cause fusion blasters do a ton of damage to not just vehicles, but softer targets too. in UA I feel as if shit like meltaguns are only good for their intended targets (vehicles and buildings), so all fusion stealth teams suck chode against a swarm.

Retribution was legitimately good, you double witch.

>Total War: Warhammer

9/10 for DLC bullshit
10/10 with all races

Warhammer Fantasy > 40k anyway

>tfw Vermintide is practically dead

They really ought to have fixed that loot system and not split the community so often

Also what would be the "easiest" win condition/enemy race combo be on the highest difficulty? For practice. modifiers too.

If Warhammer Fantasy is so good, how come it's fucking DEAD?

No I noticed that too.
My stealth suits do jack shit to enemies with the fusion blasters but they're good fun to drop onto a base guerilla-style and just hack into it from afar.
Although they do tend to send their whole armada looking in that area.

Another general piece of advice on crazy insane is that you can make immense mine fields to troll other races, and put a few more basic soldier units/vehicles inside the fields and leave your artillery/turrets behind it.

>DoW2
>Good

>THREE
>FUCKING

For me I'd think that all races are difficult as fuck but if you can outpace them the Necrons are easy to kill early-game, impossible late game.

Death by HQ destruction is a great way to turn the tide if you're royally fucked. I suppose the Sisters are the easiest to get rid of in that way if you can just lure their melta troops away from your ship fleets you can just air assault them.

It is sad. But they sold around ~550k on steam alone and that's not bad. More than enough to fund future projects.

>tfw the only way to escape DEATH FROM THE SKIES was to play exterminatus

Raptors were rubbish beyond the first 5-10 waves in exterminatus, they just had no way of avoiding damage because they needed to be in melee range and ork shooting was so ridiculously good. On the flipside a combat rolling tac marine had a shot of surviving solo waves between 15-20.

Fuck you i love dow2, best mp rts

>sandlot will never make an EDF game win the 40k theme.

The game is already 40k. You have the planetary defence force vs hordes of giant killer bugs as well as countless huge robots. It would be fucking awesome.

As much shit Dawn of War 2 got, it wasn't that bad. Graphically, it was great. All they had to do was make Dawn of War 1, using 2's engine, and everything would have been right with the world.

Gameplay wise, I can see why people were upset, but it was fucking great for story telling and having fun with customization. Finally getting a squad to a high enough rank they could be Terminator's with missles was fucking hands down awesome.

BTW, guys, speaking of Terminators, Deathwing only has 4 weapons + the Preorder one.

I said in a thread awhile ago, there will be loot, doesn't look like it. Just missions and RPG spec trees.

Kinda like Killing Floor 2, but more advanced, without the hats.

Anyone play pic related? I think 40K like this would be fun.

the report is misleading:

the report notes that age of sigmar has been "selling at a higher rate", not that it's profiting more.
the difference lies in age of sigmar having had in its first year double the amount of releases (at times triple) than warhammer has had in its precedent years, not even considering other influencing factors like support in the form of numerous discounted bundles, specialist games, total war attracting people, numerous free rules, community contact, a global campaign, announcements of incoming game balancing additions and people completing their collections in fear of having a few chances left.

on the other hand we have books that do not see limited edition versions nor translations in other languages anymore and the overall finances in the year where there's been more aos than 40k staying afloat only thanks to huge incomes from video game licenses (total war having been released in the same period).

AoS will one day be profitable, but it's not today and will be a success of something bad getting a good support over something good having had bad support.

Oh yeah, knew I forgot something...

Well, the voice acting is great, that's for sure. And the models are fine?

It is better to die for the EDF than live for yourself

>All they had to do was make Dawn of War 1, using 2's engine, and everything would have been right with the world.

No thanks. The appeal of Dawn of War 2's multiplayer gameplay to me lies in the depth of the core gameplay mechanics (shotblockers, suppression, retreating, cover, grenades/retreat grenades, unit levels, global abilities), how hero synergy can variate widely with a given army even though it's the same faction (a Plague Champion's playstyle is very different to that of a Chaos Sorcerer, for example) and with the vastly improved VA work which really adds authenticity to the universe to make it come alive.

You're thrust into the action straight away, which to me is what a 40k game should be. Dawn of War 1 had an identity of its own, but while I enjoy RTS games with basebuilding (Cossacks 3 is out in 2 days and I'm hype), Dawn of War 1's basebuilding was barebones and added little to no strategic depth to the game as a whole. It was treated as a means to an end and it's painfully obvious Relic are treating it as nothing more than a box to tick on a list of things they have to include in Dawn of War 3 to appeal to specific fans of the franchise, in this case being DoW1 fanboys who've never even played DoW2 but hate it because it doesn't have basebuilding.

Yeah. I don't see what's wrong with that.
I'm not saying ruin DoW2 or DoW1. Don't touch them.

DoW3 could have just been 1, with a greater engine and it would have been eaten up. It's what people are expecting. Now, it has MOBA abilities and shit lore like jumping 3 stories in terminator armor. Or when the girl-waifu-feminist-robot overheats, somehow that makes her missles leave bigger fires.

What is this? This isn't a fucking Blizzard game. Just give us one our favorite strategy games, but looks and runs better.

Done. There's your $$$

BUT NO.

>EDF EDF EDF

Saw that EDF5 was announced?

Mother fuckers only put it on Playstation.

Nah, this new EDF must have gotten them loads from PC. 4.1 was fun as fuck.

Yeah I have it for PS4, it's awesome. I think the game would've been way more successful on PC if they released mod tools, it's a pretty simple game. I'm certain a 40k skin would be one of the first things to happen if they did. 5 is a day one buy for me.

How is hat UA SS mod?
I've never played it

UA is shit, its literally a shitty mod full of copy pasted unit assets that was developed by a retard who has no idea how to play RTS games, all depth and strategy is removed from the game for being "cheap" and all you do is churn out units none stop till you reach T4 and get shitty insta win super weapons.

If you actually like RTS games avoid it at all costs

If you are a mouth breathing retard with the IQ of a carrot it might be just your thing.

*CLANK*

...

All things considered, that's probably a good thing.
