they have the guy that made warhammer lol

lol they probably don't need some random guy on youtube to help them if they have the fucking creator himself lul

None of the original creators work their anymore. The last to leave Rick Priestley whom left in 2010 because of the corporate culture of the company. Most of them honestly sold out and had various success with other companies or thier own businesses. The most notable was Andy Chambers who is now a high ranking man at Blizzard which is why World of Warcraft is essentially a rip off Warhammmer.

Sorry for the late reply but I wanted to answer this ;) Arch did say (I think...) in his earliest videos that the army speculations video's are just the unit he though could be implemented successfully and how he would implement them. It does not mean of cause that he did not forget about them though ;)

You twit.

Philip Boardman yer what im thinking but im okay with that :P

Philip Boardman That's my fear!

Philip Boardman I would think it would be a hybrid of the two, some Warhammer fluff will just be to hard to make work. No dice to roll in Multi-player so hopefully will be less luck and more skill.

Philip Boardman I agree with you. It's really sad but I think they cant translate Warhammer units straight to simple binary code. I assume CA goes where the hedge is smaller and becouse they own the copyright, they can certainly do it. All we warhammer fans would boycott CA so they really need to take care original Warhammer lore. Definitely no more germanic unit paste nightmare.

+magemaatikko all two of you Warhammer fans. I'm one of the many TW fans that knows absolutely nothing about Warhammer and don't plan on wasting my time reading wikipedia pages about boring ass lore like I did with other similar franchises like Lord of the Rings and Warcraft. Nope. It's quite infuriating that they'd make a game that most people don't know shit about. They should have done something more universally appealing.

+Matthew Shelbourn Something like that, or magical upkeep in general, command upkeep (to keep your units under control and keep them from breaking away or becoming lifeless) or perhaps something like upkeep for units/buildings which make sure your units remain preserved and can be resurrected.

What?

+Andreas Servan Briton and Seleucid chariots too, chariots were awesome.

Well, you wanted them. Now they're announced. Wish granted. Now to survive the hype.

Pretty sure it's "Arrows of the Asp", like Aspen Dental. Lol obviously not aspen dental.

Ted Brasy we dont know yett.

Ted Brasy I am sure of 2 things 1-TWW will not play like table top.........2.Something will be broken on release.....but look at Attila lose your General and you normally lose the match (in MP). Possibly you can have more than 1 hierophant, plus a couple of Necromancer types , this would help a lot i think, obviously with some limit on the frequency of spell use.

Ted Brasy I guess CA it´s going to have to get creative. i don´t think it´s impossible specially since we don´t really know that much about how they are going to aproach other things difficult to implement. But if we take the current engine and features you could for example make hierophants a special kind of agent. It won´t take part in battle directly (you could justify it by him being hidden in a safe place nearby and protected by magic or something) so it won´t be an obvious, squishy target But, since it is an agent it could still killed by an assasin. And if an army withouth a hierophant is attacked all manners of debuffs take place. That, but much more detailed and balanced would be a way to do it. Or, if they create a good magic system they could make the hierophant have different "modes" or "stances" like a defensive stance, while not casting spells, let´s say he is casting a powerful magic barrier focused on himself making him pretty safe. Then if you want to buff your units and such you have to change your stance, making your units stronger at the risk of making your hierophant vulnerable. That would be pretty interesting-

Yeah after giving it some thought, it seems doable. Particularly when I remembered how impossible to kill the General's Bodyguard of the Byzantines in SS could be.. particularly if you had more than one Hierophant and give them a tough retinue..

Ted Brasy Might work. However, the destruction of the Hierophant isn't and *instant* loss, if you sacrifice most of your army to kill the hierophant, the TK player will probably be able to finish you off before his army falls to bits. You should of course protect your Hierophant well. Lots depends on how they choose to implement magic and magic items - there's an item called the Cloak of the Dunes, which allows the wearer to fly around the map as a cloud of dust. Stuff like that, plus ward saves and magic amulets, could help your Hierophant's survivability very greatly.

The Necroclitcollosi faction

***** Yeah i can see it with longbow's and ofc bolt's from crossbows. But i just don't see it have that big of and impact if they are not fleshy units. But okay its trying to imply logic to fantasy stuff.. Pretty hard to do..

Namoth Yeah. But we will see what they do with the Vampire Counts. I just hope to see some form of damage reduction when it skeletons and that type of units

***** Let's hope for that. But I don't have high hope regarding CA.

+Andreas Lund I guess it matters on the arrow? A heavy blunt arrow could probably wreck a skelly pretty hard since there is no meat or anything else to "pad" the blow and bones are relatively brittle.

Christoph Hofland on the other hand bones a hell of a smaller target compared to a big puffy sack of meat and..bio based machinery , hit ratio vs dammage bonuses for munition alternatives ?

Darius had his chariots charge straight at the Macedonian phalanx at gaugamela

Cool... no idea tbh - I had seen a docu about Egyptian armies just around the time I had made that comment - there were a large part of em talking how the Egypt's used their chariots - so while I have no clue how the Persians used theirs - they said (and showed) that the Egypt's used in the described grindy way - tomb kings are inspired by them Egypt, yes? I don't really have problem if they are used just like cavalry the whole circling would be fairly complicated to design and all after all anyway...

nuub3d The fact is that almost all civilisations used chariots to fight and as a product of that there is going to be more than one way to use them. Also whilst the documentary you watched is technically correct not every Egyptian warrior would have followed the rule book in every scenario ever so there will have been moments where Egyptian chariots charged. Also the whole ideas of scythed chariots is true as well where blades were placed on the sides of chariots and used a shock cavalry, these particular chariots had up to and above 5 men in wielding spears etc. If you dont know about a topic it is advisable to not make wide sweeping comments until you have done at least a couple of minutes of reading to make sure you are not wrong. :)

+Nick Rohrer After the newer Necron Codexes, they're basically confirmed space Tomb Kings

that is what I thought

+Nick Rohrer no necrons was more sooner tomb kings is the newest army in whf books they didnt even have a proper background lore till 2006 and the necrons first published in around 2000

+richárd gombály so... Tomb kings are weaker necron ripoffs

basicly yeah but its totally different stlye army than the necrons

PapaZoulou we can only hope

PapaZoulou I want to be able to select exactly the army I want, within only the confines of a point system agreed upon by players. actually, we should be allowed to use our own custom 'painted' and hand-picked army that we have created in our own time and not in a rush just trying to counter the opponent on a timer

Faderife of Mordheim bullshit!
