not to mention that the chaos dwarfs are the only race that actually reloads their guns as opposed to other races who take a shot and then... take a break mid battle before shooting again

Those little hand motions for the spotter of the Deathshriek are sooo good. The little shake of his hand as he makes a fist, the change in motions as they approach the correct alignment

They really knocked it out of the park with the animations this time around. Reloading for missile infantry, the detailed war machines... I love it!

I love how "normal" the chaos dwarves look compared with dark elves and human chaos factions.

“We have been reinforced by the Armoured Train”

PSA: Use the “reloading” mod if you want all of the races to have rifle reloading animations, it’s not nearly as fleshed out as the chaos dwarf animations but at least it’s something!

Now if only they had detailed loading animations for other units like men and dwarfs.

Thanks to Tariff, I realized that the deathshrieks sight becomes useless once the weapon is positioned to fire. (It’s directly behind the missile.)

All except the rocket launcher crewmate literally has his scope obscured by the rocket in front of him XD

This is easily one of the most impressive set of reloads I have seen in an RTS. Most games do not have very high quality reloads but this one is on par with Company of Heroes in it's detail and dedication to the animation.

I love when the cannon comes up and blocks the telescope guys vision. Good stuff though.

The ogre pyromancer at the mortar is just 👌

Other Total war warhammer 3 factions should have reload animations for artillery units like this

their ranged hero animations take the cake for me personally, shit is cool and funny

makes me wonder if they feed their firebelly pet with their greenskin pets

What we expected animations for artillery to look like: What we got: artillery crews building a sand castle to reload their cannons, then clapping for emotional support (the cannon is really shy, it needs encouragement to shoot the target).

I really enjoy the recoil most of the machines have, im suprises no one falls over haha

Patience, lads. I knew when the first game this is gonna take a while to get really good because the task of a game doing Warhammer justice on THIS scale is a monumental undertaking.

Great attention to detail

As others have said, there's an awesome mod (by Guv I think) that adds flavorful reload animations to all gunpowder units. We just need this detail with other artillery as well.

These things really are so pleasing to watch!

Stuff like this is what really makes you notice the quality level between old and new races. Old races artillery barely have any animations at all.

The fact they took a year since WH3 release for Chorfs is completely justified with these animations

GW: giving Chaos Dwarfs animations vs GW telling modders to handle simple Gun reload animations for every other faction

This tingles my inner Iron Warrior.

And then they blow up in two frames

0:27 That poor Ogre probably hasn't been fed in 2 hours.

За 1200 часов почти ни разу не приближал камеру к юнитам ... пожалуй с этого dlc начну О-о

Remember when all units in a total war game had reload animations? I do. Miss those days.

Meanwhile Dwarfs just dig under the cannon between shots.

Absolutely beautiful

I like how I can't recruit these until turn 100. Awesome!

Something about the chaos dwarf covering his ears before the cannon fires is so funny to me. Of all the things to worry about in the warhammer world, tinnitus seems pretty low on the list.

(except their death animation) :DDD

Look at all them Charlemagnes

I really love the ogre reloading the main gun it's a shame they haven't made a more lengthy train version of the units. And that the mortar varriants are super buggy when firing, in addition to wierd confused unit pricing on the iron deamon vs the skullcracker, where the basic unit is more expencive than the more advanced one I hope CA fixes these pricing and main gun bugs

What is the first one looking at with the telescope? He can't see through that missile. But it looks cool.

That bloom is eyerape.

wait how does that guy on the rocket scope at the beginning see? the scope looks right into the rocket lmao

0:04 What is he lookin at?

Finally someone made it

As a steam engine and train enthusiast this entire faction is like crack

Meanwhile in Cathay they just make rude gestures to the gun to... coerce it to reload itself, i guess.

Inb4 all the commenters who watched the tarriff video thinking they are clever by mentioning the scope being blocked. *nvm, no original thoughts to be found here

I wish artillery crews in total war games would work like their life depends on it

Not on very low graphics they don’t, but hey it runs and that’s all i need

I keep going crazy imagining the Astra Militarum loading shells on a basilisk or reloading a MG on top of a Leman Russ.

Top tier alright, but I think that gun wagon thing (0:11) has a bit too much recoil or not enough structure in the barrel mount.

That is freaking cool lol

The engineer said this was the brake! Are you sure??

Thank you for sharinh

And yet gun units don't even have reload animations.

0:22 - Strong Bad has _not_ aged well.

meanwhile handgun reloading animation is too much work

These guys are the steampunk faction in Warhammer now that I come to realize

The Dawi-Zhar MIC in a walnutshell...

One of the best animations in the game

A spotter on deathsrieker rocket at one point before firing is looking at the rocket itself. How do they aim then 😂?

0:00 wow what a fail grabbing not by the handle but by the gold metal decoration, hahahahaha some 3d artist is crying

Meanwhile gunpowder infantry still just stands still and looks inactive while "reloading"

It’s amazing, but I am still sad most gunpowder and artillery units in the game will probably never get reload animations

The Chaos dwarves make the best weaponry Hashut be phrased

The first one was a wtf for me. It looked like a 90 degree angle. The others are just fine, based industrial steam punk

:( using Ogre Firebellies for the Dreadquake Mortars makes me so sad especially after seeing the whip scars on their backs.

They look so assyrian, love the inspiration in older cultures

Reload animations? ... ... god damn ... how far have we fallen that I am excited about reload animations...

Видео в 2 часа ночи по бишкекскому времени в 24 апреля

I don't think they would need covering their ears

Well what do you expect? Dwarfs aren’t some namby pamby knife ear whose limbs are skinnier than the twigs that they call swords

They animate this, but they can't animate guys reloading their rifles or dwarves reloading their canons?

Sure as shit should have, costing what, €25?

Now if only CA would fix their gunpowder units. They have been bugged since 3.0 dropped.

It's the minimum for the price

Железный капут

but the blur is still fucked up

It's not that they have top tier animation, it's just that they have animations...

spoiler for new ww1 game from total war?

They better have ….what is it $30 dlc and the main game is $60 boy they got you kids good

Now if only they could put the most minute effort into reload animations for Kislev and the Empire. It’s not like they haven’t made gunpowder reload animations at least four times prior to this

Ah yes, more effort went into the animations than the starting positions... Actually nah Chaos Dwarfs the one race DLC that actually makes things easier for their neighboring lords as opposed to what happened when you got greenskins and Skaven DLCs in WH2 where they were just unstoppable snowballs when you weren't playing them and gave less reasons to play Karl with every new menace you dropped by him

except when they die...

Do you like the bullet animations? I think many models are so over the top silly, but maybe I'm wrong.

They can make those but muskets are too hard? (For sure there was no reload animation)

This is were all the extra price increase went, my fellows. How many charlmanges is THIS!

Honestly CA just really keeps letting me down, they can clearly put reload animations in but instead choose to not cause tw warhammer has proven they can butcher the TW formula and people will buy it in droves

Still not worth 40 bucks aus

They look like the gimps in my BDSM dungeon

Inbefore these animation will desync with the coming patches as the faction inevitably gets balanced into obscurity.

Could be better. There are some clipping issues and worse, the binocular guy can't see anything when the rocket goes up

Dunno, i love the design and the crew motion, but i genuinely think they flopped over the "concept". In lore, all of these machines are cursed as all hell, unholy combinations of metal, steam and magic, usually possessed by demons, trapped by runes written in blood. This is perfectly shown in the Hellcannon, twisted and twitching, acting possessed and barely under control, but every machine of the chaos dwarfs is kind of like that, and that's not very shown, unfortunately. Hell, the Demon engine is a DEMON ENGINE, yet it's calmer than a steam tank.

Any Hammerite enthusiasts?

WHOA THEY MOVE THEIR HANDS AND PULL ON LEVERS THIS MAKES THE DLC TOTALLY WORTH $30 BASED CREATIVE

Bro this is shit all other factions better be getting the same treatment this faction blows every other out of the water its sad

No animations for any artillery until now... And you expect us to be thankful? I love total war but man they just be slacking and it keeps getting worse

Is it just me or is most of their artilery like....not that good. I did exeriments with Peasents. The Rocket (the one that goes straight up) doesnt do that much over all damage with either ammo. the Iron Daemon has pitiful range and does medium damage, a Organ gun does more honestly. The Dreadquake mortar slowly goes foreward for no reason and you cant stop it, if they removed that it would be top tier yes, but the sheer damage it can do to your front lines is bad. Magma cannons were the best of the Artilery honestly.

"Top tier" these should have been in the game since the first one ffs. If older total war managed it...

...these are good? i swear i feel like dawn of war 1 has better animations

Top tier shilling...but...I agree. They're quite good.

Whats the point? when was the last time you zoomed in on your units lol. Good way to get flanked a not notice it.

Yeah you can have some animations....FOR MONEY!
