The ironsides had repeaters in the announce trailer and then in one of the blogs they said: "Some of you spotted Ironsides with non-regulation repeater handguns in our Thrones of Decay announce trailer. This footage was captured on an in-development version of the game. However, in order to remain as authentic to the world of Warhammer as possible, the Nuln Ironsides at release will be issued with master-wrought handguns, plate armour, and highly-drilled firing discipline." The authentic part shouts that GW told them no cut it

Unfortunately, this seems like a case of GW initially approving it, then changing their mind and being stricter with the tabletop rules. Repeater Handguns were unfortunately reserved for Engineer characters and Outriders as a weapon option, with Ironsides always just being a more heavily armored handgunner unit.

It was probably an annoying GW decision. In lore Repeater Guns are rather "rare" in the sense that they are not really produced en masse but rather passion projects of engineers, so having whole units outfitted with them would stretch that idea. But gameplay should have absolutely came first here, repeaters would have been waaaay more interesting than just better handguns. Also having the literal Nuln Marines Corps get equipped with the best guns that could be possible sounds perfectly reasonable regarding the lore to me. Don't know why they made that change.

I don't know, without the repeaters, Nuln Ironsides might end up being sort of pointless next to Hochland Longrifles and just the humble Handgunners. With the Repeating Handguns, they would do something neither of the blackpowder units do, which is close range/high damage with the kit to survive the approach. Yeah, in campaign esp. endgame, go nuts. Not sure if the discipline ability and some armor is worth the cost in MP though.

I have very slight critiques but they seem to be common like the repeaters, longrifles and stalk, the carmine dragon head/name. The one thing I haven't heard anywhere else though is I think the Demigryph should have become a generic mount for Captains and Generals.

"Morally grey saviour of The Empire" yet Karl Franz has admitted himself that he has done dark shit in defense of the Empire its safe to assume the other Imperial LL do so as well though maybe its just Elspeth might paint the grey in a more darker shade compared to the others.

At 11:00 I think the Ironsiders have the weird recoil animations cause they where originally supposed to have repeater rifles before they chose to not use them for the lore and at least in this build of the game they did not change the animations yet

I run tyrion on foot because it makes it easier to tank groups. Bruckner could probably be run like that too.

The repeaters could still be an upgrade for the ironsides

@dannyscott14 3 ай бұрын

I'm pretty glad they didn't have repeaters for the Ironsides. I really like the elite rifleman vibe they have and using repeaters would have reduced that a lot I think.

Snipe without stalk would mean they stay hidden when firing from inside forests/hidden by other effects but otherwise would be visible

The sheer amount of content and love the devs are putting into this game is staggering (all the way from W1 all those years ago). I really hope thr game continues to be popular and a money maker for CA. As this game just keeps getting richer

Awesome looking DLC, I just wish this was Gelt with his alchemists. He seems to fit the imperial engineers vibe more.

The Helstorm rocket upgrade for "More Rockets" is hilarious if you use the Sunmaker, it already shoots way more rockets..so ×3 More rockets it will shoot like 20 damn rockets at once. It will Burn through ammo so fast but damn..the killing power of that unit gonna be insane. Also one thing to note outriders maybe get best ability for Nuln in terms of utility. Cause they unlock the Restock ability..which insane so having 3-4 sounds like a must + master engineer for even more ammo. If they get full 3 restocks be kinda busted, maybe only 1 or 2 be more balanced.

Maybe the Snipe icon was streamlined to reduce icons on units having Stalk inside, like Terror with Fear.

Another thing with the Ironsides, it seems like the Amethyst version has two different unit cards in this version? One has an open helm with the handgun, while the other has the repeater rifile with a closed winged helm. I get the repeater change to match the regular version, but the closed helm look is a bit of an odd thing to change. Again, wonder if that was a CA decision or a weird GW mandate.

Yeah the armour is weird . They should have just used standard or something like great words. The helmets look super wrong . I miss our repeaters and bayonets

In case of the Hochland longrifles and their snipe trait without stalk... Maybe they want them to be like some kind of "real life hunter" units. So they are visible but when you put them in trees they will benefit from snipe?!
