perfect trailer
Finally
£18 jesus still pre ordered though
GLORY TO HASHUT
>Luv me guns
>Luv me tech
>Luv me Babylon
>Luv me Chaos
'Ate 25$ DLCs
Simple as
>luv me Mordor
Don't know how to feel about how advanced they look in the trailer (and yes, Skaven already exist), but aside from that, neat trailer.
That's one of their biggest themes. Unrelenting industry
Yeah but did they have a Metal Gear?
Yes, its actually modelled of the Forgeworld model.
yeah
They always were insanely advanced. They have a working railway system in the Darklands.
They have always been the most advanced race like twice as far as the Skavens ever managed to go.
>They have always been the most advanced race
Delete this fucking post right now or I'm writing your name here in your own blood
sorry grudgemonkey, maybe you should have spent more time at the forge and less time in your fucking diary
Regular dwarfs have fucking apache helicopters. 8th Edition brought a lot of shit like that to the setting.
gyrocopters are cool and the robot horse is too funny to hate.
hashut is a chaos god i dont care what ''new lore'' says that he is just a disgusie there always existed more then 4 chaos gods they might not have much power then the main ones but they still existed
Makes me hope we can see more of those "lesser" chaos gods hinted at here and there in the deep lore
you aint seen shit yet
unironically kino and the only good design choice in AoS., next to snek women(which they dont fucking use or do anything with despite putting them on the cover of the battletome, fucking GW)
I don't like the design of the KO in AoS because of how jarring they are, but I like the lore behind them.
it's a fucking shame some of these great designs got wasted on Age of fucking Sigmar
As opposed to putting steamfop dorfs in Fantasy? ew
>Thinking 2nd and 3rd ed aos is anything but geedubs best work in recent years
Post models or fuck off
Think of the chorfs as dwarfs, but drastically more pragmatic. For example, unlike slayers, infernal guard can actually be redeemed in the eyes of society while they still live. This basically means that chorfs are more willing to invent and innovate than their non-corrupted cousins.
>Incent and innovate
>Ultimately job to own slaves
Natural titans of the M&A world. Murder and Acquisition.
Let's be real, man. Basically everyone got fucked over by the end times - save for rare instances where characters aren't totally assassinated.
It's not about end times really. Chorfs being fucked by black orcs, their own creation, feels kinda natural, really.
Chaos Dwarfs kind of cheat at technology by binding daemons to everything. The crazy war-train doesn't move because it's a masterfully designed piece of machinery, it moves because it is literally alive.
They're still about as good in conventional engineering as normal dwarfs, a bunch of their stuff just replace runes with daemons
The difference is that if you take away the runes from a regular Dwarf machine it will still function, but if you take the daemon out of the Chaos Dwarf machine you're left with an obscenely large paperweight.
it's of varying levels really, Hellcannon is that extreme but some like their steam cars are just a more sophisticated version of the Empire steam tanks, last time they got rules slapping on a daemon was an optional upgrade with additional unreliability
This marks the first piece of Chaos Dwarfs content released in about thirty years.
Next, /tg/ should pretend they were fans of Pygmies and lament the lack of African representation and kick up enough of a storm that someone actually releases them in TWWH. If Kislev, Chaos Dwarfs, and Cathay can get full armies released, then maybe someone in GW/CA would be dumb enough to actually do Pygmies.
>This marks the first piece of Chaos Dwarfs content released in about thirty years.
Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos and the Forgeworld Chaos Dwarf line released for it were from 2011 dude.
>pretend
Anyone who objects to Bahb-Elonn is posturing because they've never looked at it. If they did they'd know it's hotep shit DECADES ahead of its time.
Wait what? I thought Chaos Dwarves were a meme and a non-faction.
How did they manage to pull it off?
Because they're literally the last faction from the tabletop that isn't in the game yet.
Dogs of war, legions of nigass
CA and GW worked together on the old, outdated factions that never had modern releases. Since Old World is returning you can likely expect them to also return with OW, somewhere down the line.
Let's see if people actually play Fantasy this time around, lol lmao if no one buys the models and Fantasy gets pulled a second time.
We already know GW are prepared to keep something on life support even if the models don't do well, considering how frequently AoS hits the bargain bins.
Why yes, GW should only be supporting 40k. I say this unironically because GW supported Fantasy for more than a decade before they pulled the plug the first time. It was just bad timing that two of the best Warhammer video games of all time released that same year, which revived interest in Fantasy.
Old world is a scam to add shit to be dlc in total war, it’s never coming out.
Because they have a fuckton of models and lore?
They've been an integral part of the setting since 4th, even if they were always underrepresented.
>integral
No
Yes, created the Black Orcs, makes the armor and weapons of the Warriors of Chaos, separates west from east, they've always been present and their effect on the setting has always been felt.
Holy shit the dark colossus would have been so much cooler then what we got
Its a fan conversion
It had rules, but no actual depiction.
>the good shit is fanmade
not surprised
Kino as fuck
Why did they decide from TWW2 onwards to change the art style for this game/series into that weird chinese WoW aesthetic? Age of Reckoning and Mark of Chaos looked way closer to what the presentation of Warhammer fantasy is supposed to be.
We are transitioning into Age of Sigmar.
4 more years baby
I'll buy the game when Neferata gets added.
I just need her head. It's for a friend.
they managed to find a nice inbetween the old and the new chaos dwarf asthetics
>dwarves
>but they have red colors
is this really what plebbitors have been desperately begging for the past several years?
>being this much of a retard and complaining about colors in a game where you paint your army whatever color you like
Fuck off out of this thread, imbecile.
are sois like you really gonna open their wallets to get dwarves with red armor?
Already pre-ordered.
Chorfs have always been a meme, since they were a forgeworld army. Retards with nothing better to do just made it seem like they were mandatory (which they would have been if chinks and Kislev weren’t invented for tw3) and hordes of bandwagoners jumped on.
basically, yes.
>dorfs but evil
is the epic subversion everyone is hyped for.
all the secondaries can now pretend they deeply cared for this faction that was so unpopular it died 2 times in a tabletop game they never played
Just ignore that:
>they worship Hashut, a fifth Chaos God(or one in disguise whatever)
>are dwarfs with magic
>have monstrous cav like bull centaurs
>murder trains
>look awesome
But they lose their magic resistance I think
They still have magic resistance. So their magic users will slowly turn into stone
I always liked their war machines and near east aesthetic
>tfw have a Chaos Dwarf army with 5th edition models on my bookshelf and have loved them for 20 years
>all newfag redditors swarm in with this release
Actually I don't mind. As long as you love Chaos Dwarfs and their Assyrian aesthetics you are a bro in my books.
>I don't play the game or understand anything about the setting, yet I'm here
Rundown on this faction? Are they really just angerier dwarves?
Normal dwarves be like
>Le drunk
>Le grudges
>le honor, we must defend ourselves, but not attack.
Based dwarves be like
>Capitalism is king
>Fuck your feelings, embrace hyper industrialization
>We will show everyone the true might of our engineering
so basically the most fantastical faction of them all
A proud, progressive, and forward-thinking people - unlike their conservative cousins.
>make them look like garden gnomes
>give them traits like nazis
What did GW and CA mean by this?
They're the Assyrian empire.
Way back when senor mazdamundi has a good idea after smoking some swamp leaf, “I’ll move the mountains”.
Dwarves have a fuck huge empire in the mountains when suddenly the mountains split and jump to opposite sides of a continent. All the dwarves who were close enough to each other form the regular dwarves. Those isolated struggle to survive, along comes hashut who’s some kind of bitch tier chaos god, hashut offers to teach the struggling dwarves magic in exchange for sacrifices. Desperate dwarves accept but hashut is a shit and doesn’t tell the dwarves using magic is going to turn them to stone, dwarves get mad but need his magic anyway, decide to slave the local Greenskins to use as sacrifice fodder, go full autism on industry, hashut gives flying bulls since dwarf wiener is small, dwarves extend sacrifice contract.
Splinter faction of Dwarfs who colonized the Darklands, cut off from the others when Chaos first erupted into the world. They turned to worship the minor Chaos god Hashut, god of fire, tyranny, and greed. This lets them manipulate the winds of magic unlike their traditionalist Dawi cousins, but because their dwarf bodies were never meant to do so, their sorcerers are all slowly but inevitably turning to stone. The guy in the trailer, Astragoth Ironhand, is wearing an exosuit because his limbs are all petrified.
They embrace industry and innovation far more readily as well, built on the backs of enslaved orcs and goblins. Grimgor and his Immortalz got their start from a Dawi Zharr slave revolt. The Chaos Dwarfs are among the worlds' greatest warsmiths, and while their creations may not reach the same level of deranged innovation as the Skaven, they tend to be far more reliable, and they excel at the art of binding daemons to war machines. The Hellcannon is their most notable and widespread success in this area, but far from their greatest.
"Astragoth Ironhand" ...who wrote this?
A bunch of nerds in the 80s. Obviously.
They also forged the black orc greenskin subspecies with magic.
>Orcs would make better slaves if they were more disciplined and capable of working together, this will never backfire on us
well its either that or get more hobgoblins to beat your other greenskin slaves into submission
which wont work because greenskins hate hobgoblins more then the need for war.
It seems like pretty much every problem that Chaos Dwarf society faces originates from the fact that they absolutely will not do anything if they can force someone else to do it for them instead.
Can't tell me this isn't metal as fuck. Peak fantasy I want out of Warhammer.
Worship the Chaos entity Hashut
More focus on machines and different artillery
Uses magic and have their own Lore of Hashut
Have monsters
Have daemons fused into machines
Have hobgoblin slaves acting as chaff and fast units.
high tech mixed with dwarven autism and daemons
They make train demons and excel in slavery and tech.
Not a big fan of the trailer. And the last big monster is literally just a reskinned khorn mount.
Reskinned dwarfs, goblins, orcs and chaos units, it doesn't seem to be worth 22€ to me.
The only DLCs that were actually worthwhile were the ones for the first entry (because they were races that should have already been in the game) and the last few for 2. Everything else has been slop for youtubers and "loremasters" to overhype.
Vampirate and tomb kings were great DLCs
This looks like shit and that's coming from someone who bought every dlc and was actually waiting for chorfs.
Anon you're retarded this looks amazing. Take your antidepressants or something you loser
>90% of the roster we've seen is literally reskinned models and recycled animations
>only 3 lords instead of the usual 4
>the price has gone up
>"omg this looks amazing I'm so hyped SHEEEEESH"
Prime slop enjoyer right there.
>my favorite faction
>can't support this obvious garden gnomery
Feels bad man. Why do they test me like this?
You have no idea what the roster is, It's 3 lords and a Legendary Hero. And the price has gone up by 5 euro, not to mention it has nothing to do with the content.
In conclusion, you're retarded. Take your antidepressants and stop being an obnoxious bitch
>he capitalized legendary hero
lmao gtfo you retarded ca shill
have a nice day schizo
>get exposed
>resort to calling someone a schizo
Like clockwork
Omfg you actually think I'm a fucking CA worker? I thought calling you a schizo was hyperbole you're actually unironically schizophrenic, have a nice day NOW! The FBI agents are at your door, you have to do it NOW quick
>CA worker
>worker
Heh nice try
Yeah, this is some oy vey situation right here. But better pay up, little goy, masters need money for completely no reasons
>Hyenas
Completely different team, trust me, no impact on TWW whatsoever
How many people actually played Khatep? How many people actually played Aranessa/fat ghost lady?
You'll find normal people would take 3 LLs that are actually well designed with 1 legendary hero to slot into any one of their factions over forcefully trying to find a fourth LL to somehow jam in there that nobody is gonna play anyway.
And the "reskin" nonsense you're spouting has never been an argument.
I play Aranessa with living army mod
Hello CA
>How many people actually played Aranessa/fat ghost lady?
I don't play w*men
>You will have less content with a raised price tag and you will like it.
>And the last big monster is literally just a reskinned kh
Stopped reading there. Most big monsters are reskins. That's not a bug, its a feature.
KILL MOUNTAIN DWARFS GLORY TO HASHUT
Evil manlets are hardcore ngl
just looks uninteresting tbh
Yeah it's not enough to get me back into the game
Need a new Total War game at this point
Is this an Age of Sigmar faction because it looks like Warcraftshit
>frog poster is not only a complete retard but a tasteless retard.
Color me surprised.
Crack when
the doomposters who played age of sigmar are coming out of the woodworks now.
>AoS Players Doom posting anyone else’s game
No we don’t, your being trolled, AoS players doompost their own game since we have the most retarded release schedule ever.
sucks to suck i guess
shame the steampunk dwarfs look nice.
It’s fine, /aosg/ is one of the more relaxed generals since our lore is so shit only people who actually play the game frequent it.
In a better world AoS would be a worthy sucessor to fantasy in lore too.
but this world is shit 🙁
GW has literally never made good lore so it’s not a big deal, I’ll take Handsome Squidward bullying archie for highway over whatever retarded shit they do in 40k or Teclis literally blowing up the world because he’s a retard.
Tell me how good Giant army is. I am not a fun of any other army choices, especially dwarfs, fuck GW for essentially separating engineers and slayers from usual dwarfs.
Sons were top tier for a while since 3.0 is monster mash the edition, I think they’re still high tier, but most destruction armies tend to just kragnos and cost efficient units currently.
what's the current state of III?
I heard the launch was shit and it didn't get that much better so I haven't gotten it yet
pretty much what you've just said
Small family company please understand, this dlc only exists because the hyenas team ran out of funding for their latest gender seminar.
>This maniacal group intend to construct the Great Drill of Hashut, with which they will burrow through the very fabric of reality itself to conquer both the known world and perhaps also far more.
Hmm, AOS posters might be on to something.
It's just going to the warp, chorfs trap demons into weapons and armor
>3 lords and 1 hero
>Instead of 4 lords how race packs were in WH2
CA scamming I see
>$26 DLC
are they fucking retarded?
i-inflation
Reeks of desperation.
>Stellaris players: "First time?"
UK is going throught a rough patch, please understand
>didn't get a new army book for chaos dwarves before FaBa died
It's not fair bros...
Hashut rockers in the house tonight
>Ganker doomin' about yet another game
Tell me it ain't so!
CA has such a good record of making quality products.
They unironically are alot more competent and passionate than 90% of game devs, their base team are just really shit at releasing a stable product on release. Warhammer II was awful at release and 2-3 years later turned out amazing, same with Rome 2. Will be the same case here no doubt.
>competent and passionate
>can't deliver a finished product
Huh?
It's finished after you pay $200 for all the DLC over three years
CA were Chaos Dwarfs all along.
thats cheap compared to the average warhammer tabletop fan
The price isn't the problem, the amount of content you get huge. The problem is the quality of the gameplay.
Never played Three Kingdoms so i cant comment.
Shogun 2, Rome 2, Attila, Troy and Warhammer II are all finished games with 100s of hours of content. Work on your shitposting.
I don't play these games, I was just replying to what anon said. I'm only here for warhammer shitposting.
I'm pretty hyped for chaos dwarfs, I hope they bring some interesting mechanics to the table. With that price tag might be worth buying with the 10% discount if I'll want to play it ASAP anyway. CA have fucked up way too much before so still thinking.
The most awaited race in all of gaming
8 years of shitposters dropped dead in an instant
Damn, I'm not even a dwarf fag but that looks sick.
I guess this means Cathay and monogods aren't getting a DLC until way later.
fuck chinks, i want araby next
Never happening. There's already too many human races. Araby will be lame as fuck compared to Tomb Kings anyway.
>dwarf melee
>dwarf ranged
>dwarf artillery
>monsters
>hobgoblin cav
Aren't they just dwarves++?
Is this a real shill thread or are you just trying to be funny
I'm assuming the next DLC would be smaller and come like 6 months after Chorfs?
I want to know how much Hyenas dev time was wasted to release this dlc for a game nobody cares about #jointhepack
More stunties for the slaughter
Our boy Grimgor is finally gonna have his chance to come back home and tell dad what he thinks of his fortress.
Can't wait to stomp this Mary Sue into the dirt like he deserves
Kek this is hilarious
>"A faction that makes me play as evil greedy capitalist Dwarfs? BASED BASED BASED! Sign me up!"
>CA increases price
>"OMG CA WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING EVIL, YOU garden gnome, WHY ARE YOU SO GREEDY?"
Yeah except no one wants to be a chaos dwarf in real life you fucking moron
Yes they do
>they have the big hats
YYEESSSSS
So why Chaos Dwarfs narrator is a woman? A granny by the sound of it on top.
>Overhaul chaos and introduce unique units and mechanics for each god
>Remove Chaos Invasion endgame
Why?
Chaos is always invading now, if Kugath wasn't hard countered by being trapped onto an island by a zombie army immune to plagues and Kairos wasn't gangbanged by every lizardman faction at once, and Valkia wasn't time out boxed by dark elves, and Vilitch did more than just fuck with every faction by spawning horrors into their army
Vilitch is actually pretty troublesome for Cathay
Because he's constantly fucking with them, as Tzeetch intended. Teleporting all over Cathay, fucking with their armies and spreading corruption so if they ever leave an opening he can plug it like an unmarried teacher and his most trusting student
>Vilitch walks up to my wall
>Gives me three chaos spawn for free
>Kick his ass with them and then disband them
Aiiiieeeeeee! Nooooo save me Dragon Emperor I'm being ruuuuused!!
just wait for the united chaos superevent.
hope you have fun fighting 8 diffrent races and 20 lords anon.
An army of mini saurons
Increased price of 25€ for a race pack with one less legendary lord. NO I DON'T THINK SO. Defninitely waiting for a half off deal for this.
>civilization nearly wiped out due to black orc rebellion
>only survive because of hobgoblins betraying the orcs
>That roar at the end
Jesus Christ. They weren't fucking around with the sound design.
Sound design is one thing CA excels at, Alien Isolation had incredible sound design, too bad about the pacing.
>Alien Isolation had incredible sound design, too bad about the pacing.
I just finished my 4th playthrough and I gotta say, the more often you play it, the shorter it feels. I only really felt the bad pacing on my first playthrough.
Why are Gankerermin so poor?
Why is CA so gnomish?
It's a single days worth of food, pay up poorshit
Produce better content first, lazy cunt.
good goy
pay more for less and then brag about it on an anonymous image board.
So no train?
>let's put robots in our fantasy game
Canon.
Anything is possible if you use daemons as a power source.
>no curly Mesopotamian beards in models
HACKS
Do you mean the wheelchair walker or the enslaved daemons trapped in metal? Both make sense in this setting.
They look good but this art looks like chinese mobile game shit
Why does everyone complain about the price? I've decided to buy 3 a couple of days ago after I've tried it during free weekend and figured ALL paid content for Immortal Empires from 1 2 and 3 can be unlocked with creamapi. Literally took less than a minute to download and replace some files in the game folder. Denuvo doesn't care, steam doesn't care
I'm scared to use the api on my main account.
I played MP with cAPI, nothing will happen to you
>
>
>Paying more for less content
Gonna be the first DLC I creamAPI and it won't be the last.
>cream
>with new denuvo dlc
Retards.
Should I buy these dlcs? I played the first game and have all the dlc for it, never bothered with the second game but I like the third one.
Never buy dlc for something you're not planning on playing, it'll all be present in the game anyway for you to interact with.
Yes, more content, grow your backlog
No, you should just edit the fucking text file and get them for free. Works online too.
Please explain how, I am pretty tech illiterate.
To everyone complaining about cost of a dlc can you not activate it for free with cream api
What are the odds they'll make some female chaos dwarfs?
They seem to be really true to the lore and models, so 0%.
God bless the DLC team, the main WH3 sucked ass.
https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Harridans
It would be very current year to add them, but I doubt they'll make female only models for a singular unit of dwarfs.
>1 race for $25
Wasn't that the price for the Tomb Kangz back in WH2?
kangs was like 16 bucks
Tha Kangz were $19 and have 4 LLs.
Aaaand pre ordered.
I played WH1 and 2 for hundreds of hours. And despite the bugs and issues i CANNOT get over WH3's artstyle. It looks like SHIT, even the chaos dwarfs looks like chinese mobile game rips ops. WTF
this. there's just something soulless about wh3 and nothing seems to be changing about it.
WH3 is a definite step down, but they've been improving it bit by bit since release.
Honestly 1 still looks the best.
Yeah, have like 2500 hours on TWW2 and just played TWW3 during the free weekend and can't get over how everything just looks so much worse. The UI, the character portraits, the world map and the spells.
Like holy fuck what have they done to the spells??? Purple Sun looks like a joke and all the other spell lacks the same impact that they had in the two previous games.
Also the battles for some reason felt much less satisfying than they did in TWW2 for some reason.
I think I understand why. TW WH3 is made after TW Three Kingdoms and thus they reused many animations; also the art team was mostly tributary to that. It's also a chance they want to cater to chinese markets. All in all, a real huge dissapointment. Too bombastic, vivid; feels like a copycat of WH 1's art
How did they improve it? The porting to 3's engine feels like it shook a lot of things out of place. Units respond differently, combat is more floaty and everything has a plastic feel. I'm not even speaking about the changes they did to combat/flow
>Units respond differently, combat is more floaty
Did we play the same TW2? It's almost entirely the same shit.
show me a single reused animation from 3K
>Paying more for less content
Gonna be the first DLC I creamAPI and it won't be the last.
>its finally time
finally might have to buy WHIII and pirate all the dlc
>$25 dollars for 3 fucking lords
>Nearly half the price of the base game for one faction
Fuck CA.
That is 25% increase in price from previous new races for less content.
But they know Warhammer fantasois will suck out every last drop of this slop.
>25 dollars for one faction
Can someone make this horseshit make sense please.
Why am I spending almost half the price of the full game for one faction.
>Can someone make this horseshit make sense please.
inflation bro, everything is getting more expensive get used to it
>$25
>For one faction
Are they smoking crack? Not even the tomb kings were this expensive
>finally getting dlc for my favorite faction
>the price is retarded
>mfw
This, I was looking buy DLC, not Total Warhammer 4.
So what's the rundown of the 3 lords and the legendary hero anyway? I don't really know much about the chaos dwarfs
https://www.totalwar.com/blog/tww3_thechaosdwarfs_astragoth/
Astragoth: sorcerer with exo skellington, rules the chorf capital Zhar-Naggrund
Drazhoath: sorcerer riding great taurus, leads the infernal guard in the border fortress, works with chaos warriors a bunch
Zhatan: warlord that likes to go out collecting slaves, probably will start somewhere far away
Hero is Gordutz, a hobgoblin collaborator
>Zhatan the Black
He's just a Chaos Dwarf dude. Super evil etc etc.
>Drazhoath the Ashen
Exiled Sorcerer-Prophet, leading the Legion of Azgorh. Known for his association with the Infernal Guard, Chaos Dwarfs who have failed their masters and are thus condemned by having their faces shut behind glowing hot metal masks that are seared into their flesh.
>Astragoth Ironhand
The oldest Sorcerer-Prophet and the one with the most political power, practically the leader of the race. He's so old that his magic power has begun to wane and due to all Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers slowly turning into stone from using magic, his legs are now completely immobile so he built himself a mech suit to move around in.
>Gorduz Backstabber
A Hobgoblin chieftain who has survived longer than most. Technically a slave of the Chaos Dwarfs but he has been given a lot of responsibility in capturing slaves for the forges and mines and enjoys the fact that he gets to lord over other Greenskins.
>No one's posted it
Multi-track drift that shit
>intentionally causing confusion and delay
>ever
What the fuck was that machine thing at the end of trailer? Some dwarf mecha?
K'daai destroyer
can't wait to pick Dawi and kill all chaos fags
If you shaved off a Chorf's beard, would they be as triggered about it as their Dawi counterparts?
>3 LLs and a hero
>Repurposed slave mechanic
>Retarded price tag
>No Train
Yep, into trash it goes, not buying this slop
Is there no train? They've mentioned something about a convoy mechanic they'll elaborate on later.
>a convoy mechanic
Probably a Cathay caravan with spikes
If I don't see train I'm not buying this dlc who am I kidding, I will Cream API it anyway
The meme is officially dead.
Honestly? I hoped they would get the Magma Dragon and Kollossus on top of all their stuff from 3rd to 8th ED. But oh well. Maybe with the 4th LL in the future? Who knows?
