Total War: Warhammer

So my big news is I finally beat my first hard campaign. The Skaven of Clan Rictus have triumphed and are currently eating the world. Nom Nom Nom

Congrats! Now get on with it and choose another faction and campaign!

Ugh just makes me go around a map with a stack of hydras burning out the rat infestation.

Also, I just read the most recent Gaunt's Ghost book. Boy do wish for a total warhammer 40k more than I thought I would now. They'd have to totally rework the turn based map, but I think they could do it. Turn provinces into systems mad up of habitable planets as each "city". Ship to ship boarding battles for space like they do with the black arks (since that's what all the books break down to being). OR pull a bit from the stellaris book, and dont' have ships/armies interact in transit.

Fan made Warhammer 2 trailer:

TBH, I'd prefer another 40k FPS. THQ's Space Marine game just feels soooo good.

This!!!!! So bummed no additional content was added. I would love to see a 40K FPS done by Dice, but don't do it with linear maps. Tons of races, vehicles, weapons etc.

Oh man I need a break. I have EU4, XCom 2, and the latest Civ expansion waiting for me.

I would like to do few more PvP matches again at some point.

Yes, the Space Marine game was awesome. But I'd still like some grim dark space opera stuff strat RPG wise. So why not both!

I'd like DoW 4.

I’d love to see it happen but I think they would make a Conpany of Heroes 3 before they make another DoW.

Just finished a long ME campaign with Lokhir. 338 turns and probably my favourite so far. Definitely felt like the most active campaign I've played as I roamed around the map with my invincible fleet of Arks burning and pillaging ports indiscriminately. Public order management keeps things lively at home and the battle style that I adopted was super aggressive to complement the 'live fast, kill everything' DE roster.

Once you conquer the Lustria situation (which is an awesome little struggle all by itself) the map opens right up and you can sail with impunity, starting wars everywhere and relying on chokepoint cities and your fleet to keep your rioting homefront safe. Would highly recommend to any more advanced players looking for something different to the usual DE slog up north.

Sounds like fun! I started a HE campaign but look forward to DE as well. Skaven might be next with the upcoming DLC.

I just started another Dwarf campaign. Last time I over-reached southwards and got royally stomped by New World Elves.

This time will be different - mark my words!!

I can’t wait for it either! I keep checking if there is info on the next FLC/DLC.

Same, buddy, same. And I keep looking at the monthly blog posts for info on the fantasy production side. Always such a tease! I'm dying to play Dwarfs in the next campaign. There will be so much carnage on all sides. Vampires to the West, Greenskins to the South, North, and East, Ogres to the East, Chaos Dwarfs to the East, Daemons of Chaos to the East, and Chaos Hordes to the North and East!

SO MANY GRUDGES TO BEAR, WHISPA! The Dark Lands and Mountains of Mourn will be stained red by the end of my campaigns!

Haha yeah I’m holding off on a Skaven campaign till then as well. Doing a High Elf one now with their pew pew archers!

Think they'll rework the empire for WHIII? redoing the main enemy of chaos in a chaos heavy expansion, seems to me , like a wise choice.

Word around the street is that Bretonnia or Empire are getting a rework soon. So I'm inclined to think all old factions are getting a rework at this point.

ITS F#$%KIN PREDATOR! I just lost my mind!

It's a brilliant trailer! For less than 10 bucks there is a lot of content as well!

Man they know their audience!

I just checked the first post in this thread for the WH1 announcement and it said "I'm cautiously optimistic about this"

...yeah I think this series has turned out ok.

DLC, FLC & massive patch drop tomorrow! Big changes to campaign AI, total rework of Skaven, Brettonia jiggery-pokery, bunch of new provinces (Mordenheim!), new LM and rat lords + RoR.... I am itching to jump into a Tiktaq'To campaign as soon as the download finishes Anyone else excited for this?

YES! Bummer I have to stop my HE campaign but I’m very early into it so it will be ok. Lots of great changes in this dlc and patch!
