Those Knights of the Black Rose got Bjuna'd, Bile trolled and Rot Knight charged. But they could not hear any Bell from inside those skull helmets.

The bile trolls have some honestly wicked animations for what amounts gameplay wise to yet another troll reskin. Like one of their attack animations they reach down their mouth, yank out their guts and just wail on the enemy with it. Brutal.

Glad to have Domination mode back

Literally any faction that isn't the latest DLC: "Do you see how powerful they are?!" Warriors of Chaos who aren't related to the DLC at all: "For me? You shouldn't have!"

Man gotta hand it to Lord, after his Hochland rifles were offline I'd wager a 100 bucks to him loosing badly, impressive turning it around. Also what the flippers how did the stirlands do so good, absolutely crazy.

Dude won by 12 points, damn that's close.

Lesson learned from this game! Use poorhounds instead of rot knights to take out the Hogs!!!! The damage!!!! :O

One thing about bringing bile trolls is that they apply poison and their melee defense debuff, so they are really helping get the Nurgle army ability built up.

Finaly a domination game, nothing against a good landbattle, but i like thid mode way more. Keep it up mate u are awesome!❤

Finally :). Land battles aren't bad but after watching only those for a whole week one can truly appreciate how much more exciting domination mode is.

The capture points opening up immediately in domination is a great change. Excited to test out the new content next week.

thank you, blessed turin, for lettin us witness this epic battle. top tier commentary as always.

Curious about the revert change of Domination mode... For those who don't know, it was already like that when the game launched, but the community asked for the points to be locked at the start of a game because fast factions had an edge over slower ones. We'll see if it stays that way, I haven't followed the competitive scene in a while so I don't know why player wanted it back. And another note, I'm not sure the pigeon bombs should have infinite charges when I see the damage it does...

Yeah, I also feel bad about Gelt. In multiplayer battles, he's like a guardsman standing next to a spacemarine ( Elspeth)

Honestly a little on the fence about the objectives opening immediately. Maybe make it 30 seconds? Makes me wonder how slower factions like the dwarfs may be at a disadvantage to faster factions getting to the Obj’s quicker.

Flesh to Stone is such an underused spell! It's awesome on glass cannons like flagellants or wild riders.

Nurgle has the best update out of the three, not "the strongest" but "the best"

Depending on faction, I'd say Bile Trolls and a Pestigor core would be pretty good. Reducing Melee Defence by 6 is nothing to sniff at, and lots of debuffs for the faction abilities. It's kind of disappointing to see Nurgle go from low mid to high mid, but we'll have to see how things shake out in the dom tournaments. Maybe there's some rotten strats yet to be found. I don't know what it is, but whenever I see the rot Knights in gameplay videos, they seem kinda fragile? They seem to die super fast.

why on earth do Pestigors only have 26 MD with mark of nurgle? I do like what Nurgle's received, but definitely agree they came out in 3rd place in the dlc relatively speaking. Was also disappointed that nothing was done to beast of nurgle or rot flies, but I guess with the army ability change we might see the occasional beast in armies. Come to think of it, does the Nurgle army ability build off of spell debuffs as well?

In tabletop you only ignore regen save with fire if the target is flammable. If the target is not flammable, fire does nothing to the regen save.

I think the Skullcrushers/Bloodcrushers should have Strider like they had from tabletop (If I remember correctly) to make them perhaps a bit different from the Rot Knights here.

If (1500 - your tickets) < 0.5 * (1500 - opponent's tickets), or colloquially if your remaining tickets are less than half of your opponent's, you will win with one objective.

Is there a point to put Exalted heroes on Rot beast instead of horse since they don't get regen ? The gold difference doesn't seem worth it

I just can't unsee that all the Bile Trolls have Grom's face.

Imo normal skullcrushers should function close to how Knights of the brazen throne do.

Thanks for showcasing the new units. Are we able to buy at midnight tonight?

What do you think is the reason to take the Engineer on the mehcanical horse as opposed to the normal horse?

Wow really close game and a great showcase of the new units. Nurgle and Empire both looked quite different. Thank you. LOL pigeon bombs were terrible in 8th edition table top. If you roll badly they hit your own Empire troops.

Objectives open instantly now hahah Timthewilder been real quiet since the patch dropped*

More rot knights!

I was recently looking at Nurgle in the Old World, they're not slow, they've still got M4 for Plaguebearers so they're just as quick as nearly every other faction other than Skaven and Beastmen, though they're definitely lacking their quicker pieces like Toads.

What a game. Definitely high level gameplay from both players. You show how pestigors are good if you use that unit right. Still think they need more speed because of too low melee defense. And just look at how much more units empire bring to the match. Looks like greenskins, you delete one unit, they bring another. In one moment i think omg why empire have so many troops and nurgle so outnumbered. Definitely shows what nurgle roster overpriced.

Fun fact hoch is german word for high Highland rifles

A landship instead of the Hochlands, burning heads vs pestis and Knights of the Blazing Sun probably would have done you in way sooner

Making skullcrushers be able to push through infantry would help them a lot. That would balance a bit their awful mobility.

Yeh gelt needed a bit more milk but honestly empire fans cant complain XD

Looking forward to a new tournament with all the new units! I wonder when it'll happen.

UNLEASH THE STINK BEASTS

Thanks for the awesome videos Turin, I can't wait to play some games as Tammy or the revamped Empire

In a 1v1 scenario, skullcrushers beat everything thats not Bear cavalry or Mournfang cavalry and trade pretty even with Grail Knights. Of course there is more to a 1v1 in a pitch fight, but they are not bad at what they are meant to do.

I 100% agree with your take on the Empire rework, and it makes me very happy as a tabletop and WHTW Empire main. I wish the Staff of Volans had been given some WoM generation ability upon activation + a spell mastery bar like the new Lady Elspeth got. I’ll just grab some mod that does that for campaign but I would have liked some touch ups to him. Everything else for Empire is gnarly though.

has there been any additions to quickplay multiplayer map pools in 5.0 ?

I miss the good old chill Turin campaigns. They were so cozy.

Rot knights feel insane to be honest. So glad to see those expensive cav units good, just like the grail or blood knights. Hope we see more "elite" cav getting some kind of buff or update. I mean rot knights cost 400 gold more than chaos knights and look at the difference..

I hope we get to see some forest+snipe plays with the long rifles in future.

Obj opening immediately. Tim in shambles

Is it a release date thing or does Nurgle only have only one RoR in this DLC? I saw three for the Empire and Dwarfs and the blog said 3 for each but not seeing anything for Nurgle except the RoR Rot Knights.

Main issue with nurgle in this update is that the army ability charges so much less effectivelly

just so you know, your videos are consistently 20-40% quieter than all the other youtube videos. not sure if anyone has mentioned. not a huge deal but i dial up everytime i tune in

Finally Pestigors my herooooo ❤❤❤

they added any new maps on the quick battle domination mode ?

Is it just me or did Lore of Life get a graphic upgrade? 15:00

Just wait until the Vampires get a DLC and all gun factions are crying for Nurgle to come and out-grind the vampires for them lol

Very exciting!

Id Like to See them Lean hard into all the Chaos gods Strengths and Weaknesses. try to stay away from Balancing them into being able to do anything... and make them into a Power rangers Magazord... like a puzzle, or like a team of, TANK, DPS, Ranged, and SPeed

What a scrap! Very fun game. Love seeing the middle tier units be relevant and valuable

Dom's back! Woot woot

Skullcrushers are 1700 so 100g less that the rot knights. But I still think the SC need a speed buff at least, and maybe -50g.

Papa Turin enjoying the new smelly toys :)

It's simple give khorne monstrous cav a bit better stats and healing when fighting in melee.

Is the missing regen on the rot beast mount a mistake or have they just randomly decided to take it away?

Seeing the units in Battle they seem better balanced then I feared, although the thunderbarge looks an abomination. One thought on new units, its the civilisations they represent that should be important. One problem with Lizardmen for example is there are precious few troop types, CA should add a wide variety of troops to add spice to the game.

PLEASE tell me the Chaos Nurgle lord CAN mount a TOAD DRAGON! One of my favourite things is lords with HUGE MOUNTS. Even if it’s never competitive/good, I freaking LOVE lords on the big monsters. So disappointed if not…

Turin can you play a live tournament please i really miss watching you play in them

I missed domination ;)

Love the new DOM change.

when is teh dlc coming out any anyone have any ideo how much!?

Cool, missed dom battles

I am doing well! 🎉

Why no artillery for the empire? a mortar in the back against slow nurgle. And do you know if the empire great cannon get the canister shot in MP?

But no actual Beasts of Nurgle

Wasn't the ability of the Pestigors bugged?

Why did you change your name to Palpatine?

Doesn’t going back to zero time for objectives to be active nerf all the slow factions again. The whole reason we went to the inactive objectives was to allow slower factions to be competitive

GG

Pestigors, Beastmen blessed by Papa Nurgle, have worse stats than Gors. Why the hell are is their MD 26?

Some of these recent games havent been really fair. It seems one side is wining overwhelmingly due to other side (in this game Empire) not playing very well.

How do you get access to the beta?

The caster having access to the rot beast mount makes the generic melee lord feel redundant. I'm guessing they have the same stats or just marginally worse ones on the caster. And the utility on the chaos lord of nurgle didn't seem particularly worthwhile, he doesn't get innate healing and bringing him with a caster hero is a lot more expensive.

I thought the point of delayed start was to help slow races not get triple capped for nothing.... Miss the days when Felkon was the best player now its some dude named chicken lord.... I'm getting old.

Gooning characters now takes on a whole new meaning

Hey man I was watching your most recent live stream, I wish I could message you. The maps with the pillars in the middle are just anti-fun. I hope you don’t keep playing those.

Someone mentioned state troopers getting a cost increase and I think I agree. Empire can flood you with infantry to block or hold objectives. If they were as bad as Brettonia infantry then sure but a small increase might mean you have one or two less units on the field at once

Nurgle needs to lean into Damage through AOE... and the closer they are together the stronger the disease. Make them into TANKS that kill their enemies by just being near them.

At last, a different kind of greenskins game

i hope khorne pvp gets a no spell mastery caster hero of like fire and metal only. them not having magic is a huge negative to competitive multiplayer like no range for vampire counts. the game is so developed now every faction should have some option for every obstacle/playstyle even if over-priced or underperforming. the option helps with counterpicking and just overall flavor and playstyle of a faction

empire feels more op than Kislev.

10 fps

why don't u ever do normal land battles? You lost so many viewers due to it, just a friendly question.
