I don’t think it’s safe to be in a oil field with fire monsters

'Almost the entire roster has fire damage' I can hear the rattling of the Tomb Kings shaking in fear xD

For creatures literally made out of fire they have a strangely low resistance to the stuff.

That's a pretty cool map mechanic. Hopefully, CA implicates something similar for the rest of the factions. As for the fight itself, it was really funny to see Sigvald just Chad walk his way through all of those elite units and decapitate your lord.

Oh yes, you can't imagine how fun it is to throw the most elite of your units to a single dude with a sword and shield and then just see him 1v3 them, ending with more health than he started the fight with Truly the competitive experience of all times

I'd like to see the homecourt map gimmick used in other races. It would be a fun thing to have in campaign

I think siggy is known for being hard to kill, casually existing on the field of battle more concerned with his own pride and vanity. But in a game like TW he should be probably be a bit less immortal.

CA should rework all subfaction colors to be like this dlc

Tbf, Sigvald is damn near impossible to hit in the lore. He would be dancing around so fast that no blade would even come close to touching him. Slaanesh loves him that much.

I think it's actually accurate to have sigvald just wading throughout a battle with little worry of being slain. However in the concept of TW, he shouldn't be able to just wade through anti-armor units completely solo.

K’daii fireborn in an oil field = uh ohhhhh

Not sure about the TT, but I can assure you that in the lore, Sigvald could take on a lot of men at the same time (heh)..

Looks great. Kinda weird that the destroyer, a beast of molten lava and dwarf-forged armor, has less armor value than a greatsword

I have been playing a Norsca campaign and Sigvald was wooping my ass in battles last night (as is the Slaaneshy way) , I'm glad it is not just me!

Sigvald being *play of the game* as always

I LOVE that the colour scheme changes significantly based on faction. A problem that all game 3 factions have is that the faction colours only change a very small part of their unit design, eg jade warriors are all primarily green regardless of who you play. Glad to see this rectified with the Chorfs

Sigvald is dumb op indeed, every single game I see with him he always survives alone full health and win the game

The dueling mechanic from Warhammer Battle March would be a cool feature to see brought/ mimic in this game.

"He's getting blacked." Now THAT'S brutal!

ash storm seems like its going to be the mvp spell in lore of hashut. so many sources of fire damage to pile onto it.

Awesome battle and commentary as usual Indy ❤

Dude, I love your diction so much. YOu're so well read. It's crazy. Keep up the great work, man

barring how crazy we know sigvald is... i think chaos dwarfs come in quite balanced, well done, we needed an armor pierce faction

Those fire demons really make me want an Ushapti buff

Your video quality is epic. Thank you.

Loving the VFX, all the fire is so thematic!

I love the animation detail of that cannon ball bouncing and dragging it's way through the ground. Feels very realistic and is interesting just to watch, and try to judge who it will hit. There are a few artillery units whose ammunition I wish acted like that.

13:03 "One more swing and he'll be dead. Uhhhh well that was awkard." lmaoooo

I think a good nerf to sigvald, particularly in multiplayer is to reduce his healing cap. Specific nerf just to himself is lower heal cap. So damage to him feels more impactful, instead of him essentiallyhaving what feels like a pocket second health bar.

"Bring Da Ruckus"? I didn't know the K'Daai knew Wu-Tang style. They are even more dangerous than I thought!

This was such a cool battle with the oil. The Destroyer looks freakin amazing with that color scheme :,)

On TT the LLs and heroes can indeed survive well, Indy. They just don't really have the damage output they have in TWW. Though hard to kill, they arent the lawmowers they are in this game, though there are some exceptions (Kholek, Imrick on a dragon, Skarbrand, Archaon, anyone who name ends with "of Khorne" or wears the color scheme thereof....But mostly they can take out a couple of models every other round at best). This is because they are limited by B2B (base to base) contact. Which isnt alot.

The Kdaai Destoryer looks so cool I might have to pick this up now.

Hey Indy; noticed that your machine was able to show loads of bodies, while still keeping a good frame rate at solid resolutions during that battle. So it got me wondering what your system specs are... Mind sharing? Regardless, you putting out loads of great TW Warhammer scraps over the years has always kept me coming back to this channel. Thank you so much for many years of quality gaming entertainment, & have a great day! ❤

i like that you change the enemy health bar color regarding its faction :)

The sheen on the oil was such a nice touch that I didn’t expect

he goes by the Flesh Prince of Belair thank you

For a giant monster made of metal and lava, 90 armor seems a little low on the Destroyer. I guess physical resistance is supposed to make up the rest of that? Also, I hope the home field advantage style stuff either becomes MUCH more widely available for other races or is kept to just a handful of maps, unless this is meant to be a way to test the Dawi Zharr with and without them to see if it should be implemented as a universal army ability like the WAAAGH for Greenskins.

your narration is always 10/10.

Zhatan's blue/flames color theme is super cool!

Siggy looking like the clutch QB taking the MVP as always.

Sigvald too OP

The music at the start kinda fire though, fitting for the Dawi-Zharr

In tabletop the most models that could be in base to base contact with Sigvald is 3, against most infantry he can easily kill 3+ models a turn meaning his opponents can't hit him back, even if they do his saves are high enough that he will only take damage if you are unlucky on your dice rolls. The way most infantry units dealt with Legendary Lords was to hope they whiffed their attacks, and that you got some damage through and have enough rank and other bonuses that you could force him to break from a failed leadership test and run him down. So even in tabletop a legendary foot lord could last an entire game in combat against good infantry. Just like in TWWH the best way to deal with these sorts of lords is feed them one or two chaff units while you deal with the rest of the army.

The cunning Zhatan dived underneath the oil before the moral blow, living to fight another day!

The dark blue for Zhatans army looks sooo good.

Sigvald - "Zhatan said meet him here for kisses". Chosen- "Killzes. He said Killzes. Its how they talk, you dumbass"

I love how siggy went from one of the most joke picked lords considered one of the worst to one of the most overpowered I'm the game

the destroyer animations reminds me of a puppy playing, it just looks so cute and innocent even though it’s obviously a wmd

That is a very lore accurate Sigvald.

"He's no longer The Black: He's getting Blacked™". That's raunchy as hell, hahaha.

13:07 Shadows sorcerer: Okay, what was that?! Sigvald: Death. Shadows sorcerer: What kind? Sigvald: Instant. Shadows sorcerer: There was no sound, he just died! Sigvald: Yeah, terrifying. It's a terrifying thing to watch happen. It's called a deterrent. Shadows sorcerer: You couldn't just knock him out!? Sigvald: How is "knocking out" a deterrent? Everyone wants to be knocked out. No one wants to be dead.

Chael "I don't mean to Disminish you" Sonnen

That model is beautiful.

My experience on the tabletop with sigvald was when I spectated an AoS game. I saw sigvald beautifully painted, the game started and sigvald charges in backed by hellstriders I went looked away to grab a beer from the cooler. When I looked back, sigvald was already dead.

Love this watch iust the salty feeling Is most valid, enjoy watching you get at it Indy Pride.. keep up thee awesomeness

Destroyer wrecks 3 Dragon Ogres with one hit Sigvald takes the same punch: skin *PERFECT*

Damn, that was a good game. Sigvald is just too handsome to die.

On the table Sigvald is pretty hard to kill, he had a decent save so that rending (armour penetrating) attacks help a lot, but he will just flat out ignore half the damage you put through. He might not tank whole armies but he's pretty durable, really annoying if the player using him spikes those rolls to ignore damage.

Also, "Zhatan the black is no longer black, he's getting blacked" omg I DIED LOL thats why I watch you for the amazing humor

I see the Cheese Dwarfs met their match in Sigvald the Magnificheese.

mosh, pretty obscure track

The color scheme on this chorf faction gives me heavy Ultramarine vibes.

I think a way to balance lords from a modding perspective is to increase the minimum hit chance. I tried increasing it from the base 8% to 20%, and though you may think that would decrease the time to kill to half I strangely found it to be more like one forth

I feel like foot lords should be hard countered by elite infantry. They get extra tanky from projectiles with their tiny hitbox(and usually big shields) while being tanky(ish) from monsters because of the knockdown invincibility. I feel like walking your foot lord into a block of elite infantry should be near instant death. I dont know how you would implement that without making them bad duelists(aka lowering melee defence). But maybe we could see something like a huge backstab multiplier for foot lords, so when surrounded they just get chunked.

The fact the kadai destroyer has similar armour to great swords is a travesty

Plot twist, the second the k’dai step into the field it explodes killing everyone but the k’dai

Well, regarding your comments on the stats of tabletop vs Total War balance, I do have to agree that Lords and Heroes should not be that survivable. In terms of wounds, they're low as fuck on wounds. The best use of a Lord or Hero on tabletop was in sniping other lords and heroes, and in using their leadership to buff units that they were attached to or nearby to. Further, because of how the ranks system worked, their survivability greatly increased when embedded in a unit. You couldn't take them out unless you challenged them directly with a command group's champion or with another lord/hero. What I wouldn't give to see an ability to embed your lords and heroes within a unit for extra survivability.

13:09 the oil consumed him

Is this the current state of Sigvald or is he this strong because of the version of the game that will go live when the Chaos Dwarfs are released?

I want to make a Kd'aai doomstack

Dude, what are your graphics settings? Everything looks so sharp and clear. I have a fairly top tier pc but my game looks muddy in comparison? Can anyone help me make my game look like this? I have the horses, I must just have some settings wrong? Or is it a mod? Or after fx for the video?

"He's getting blacked" Casting couch has joined the chat

There are ways to beat Sigvald, but you have to ignore him the whole match and throw fodder at him. Sending a lord him is asking to lose unless it’s someone like Tyrion or Skarbrand, who have fire dmg to cut his healing in half. If you kept him tied down with orc slaves and used your good infantry + lord on priority targets, not only doi think you would have won, it would have been a stomp in your favor.

How do you move units at the same speed as the army?

I wonder what greenpeace would say how chaos dwarf treat the nature.

so that gun ability is 100% cooldown rather than uses, that's fun but i can already see in campaign the "one unit running around, probably a train while the enemy dies one cannon at a time"

On the other hand, if even the tankiest low damage, low speed footlords got destroyed by a single unit of great weapon infantry then what exactly would the point be of tanky low damage, low speed footlords? Sigvald is a legendary annoyance, not a weapon of mass destruction but a pimple on the nose that just will not go away. That's his one and only thing. Same with Gor-Rok and such. Sticking around and not dying is their thing.

Seeing an oil pipeline in Warhammer fantasy is a colossal mind fuck

Sigvald OP

The flame monsters should have at least double the fire resistance...

Yea they might need to take a look at siggy 's armor. Something about that don't look to right...

Wait a minute, faction based abilities with online battles? Oh boy, cant wait for doom rockets!

lorewise Sigvald is arguably the best duellist in the setting. Without magical weapons I don't see how any moral arms could harm him through his kit of magical arms and armour not to mention his chaos blessings and personal skill.

The fact that the greenskins are called "laborers" is so funny. The Dawi Zharr don't do slave raids, they conduct staff upscaling.

Don't Ap infernal guard have pretty low attack for an elite infantry? They have 32 MA that is like sending halberd infantry after sigvald (60 MD) and expecting them to kill him. They have less MA than blackguard at 36 for example. CD don't seem to have any good high damage Ap melee infantry on the level of hammerers. Most of their anti inf Ap seems to be on monstrous units instead.

It is nice to see that Chaos Dwarfs are not OP out of the gate but your tactics could have been a bit better. Please don't get me wrong I like the video. Tactics just will always win 9 times out of 10. I didn't notices until the end that you were way out numbered.

Anyone notice the necrons on the k'daai destroyer 's arms?

What were the dragon ogres doing the whole match? Were they in tactical reserve?

What is your anti-aliasing at? Seems like TAA, mine is blurry when on TAA, but FXAA is fine...

How does Sigvqld still have Regen when taking fire damage?

LOL Slim Shady...

Im sorry. Did you just say that destroyer is 60 speed? Now that's a good KRUMPIN

Ok Sigvald is definitely too much there I don't even think he quite went to half

Is that new in-game music?

Sigvald is quite ridiculous. Its healing needs to be toned down. Makes him impossible to kill. Had him surrounded with Longbeards while Gombrindal with fighting him. He kille Grombrindal and the longbeards alone with basically full HP.

90 armor for that thing looool. This thing will melt from ranged missiles no problem.

what music is this?

After this vid I can't say the price increase wasn't deserved, so much more stuff than other DLC's before.
