He's a dwarf A wolf thing is nothing

Just 1 more bug

Of course, there are grudges to be settled and ale to be drank

He got mauled DISRESPECTFULLY so obviously he had a grudge

​@@Ludvik789eo

I don't think Aekold has perfect vigour but he gets constant vigour regen as one of his abilities along with his healing. Not 100% sure on that tough so may be wrong and he just straight up has perfect vigour.

⁠@@jimbob4447vigor regen is actually more powerful than perfect vigor because Perfect Vigour is bugged. If caught caught in force march or even a spell debuff Perfect Vigour gets frozen at the debuffed level and won’t let you get above it again

Ahhhh interesting, that's a hell of a debuff for sure man. I did not know this.

caught caught yes-yes? @@Pyromaniac77777

yea its lame it isnt shown normally, but there is a mod that will show it, at least...

SEM vs SEM engagements have been like this since game 1

this was as comical as it was adorable

you want more? $25

​@@baconsoup8346 they added generic SEM vs generic SEM anims for monsters in WH3, in WH2 they were limited to very specific matchups like Carno vs Dragon or dragon vs Abomination etc. The new generic ones are inevitably generic and uninspired cause they must fit every monster, but hey, better than mindless swinging at the feet and constantly losing focus (though that still happens sometimes).

I don't imagine lore wise that they "Line up" given how so many are told terrible stories about Ostankya and the other Hags. More so, the things just sort of explode out of the woods, to both Kislev and whatever enemy armies surprise, and then slink back to the wood after combat. With perhaps a Hag giving some after battle interaction. A solemn nod and the Motherland protects, or some sort. And from a game play perspective its not all that different from Kislev lining up with all its Beasts like the Elemental bear and Leopards.

thats why they needed to add Hag Mother, to have this as some sort of wild army roaming around and helping your faction, at least from rp perspective

@@miloradlukic9277 Yes of course. This is the absolutely ONLY possible explanation anyone in the world could come up with. Absolutely HAD to have a Hag Mother in order to include this in the game. Nope, there are not centuries of myths and folklore from a certain region that Kislev is based upon. Not a single legend from that region of the world, and definitely NO reading material that is easily found on the internet with countless examples. Nope, you are absolutely correct and not narrow minded and naive at all. 100% correct with no errors, there is NO OTHER POSSIBLE way for this to work. Not one. Believe this person, they know exactly what they are talking about and are an absolute verifiable genius on the topic, having a plethora of experience with both that region of the world and their folklore. What a pile of human garbage. Stay sheltered kiddo.

@@switters8679 quit eating soy, you are having estrogen spike

​@@switters8679you ok?

Will the Elemental be a summon only? Seems like beastmen already have a large monster roster.

@@jerubaal101 no idea, but I see no harm in adding a few more.

​@@jerubaal101they're kinda supposed to though

I hate this units sharing. All factions need their own unique units. Beastmen already have similarly performing units.

@@Prushinthespirit it's kinda a case where it fits. Tzeentch should have all Tzeentch units. Beastmen should have all Beastman units Tzaangors are indisputably a Tzeentch unit but they're also indisputably a Beastman unit and Incarnate Elementals are associated with Winds of Magic rather than any faction. in theory any faction with access to Lore of Beast casters should be able to make Incarnate Elementals of Beasts (so... Empire, Vampire Counts, Beastmen, Wood Elves, Brettonia, High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Ogres, Kislev, and Tzeentch (since it can be accessed via Kairos, the Blue Scribes, and the Changeling)). same for the other 2 known Incarnate Elementals (Incarnate Elemental of Death and Incarnate Elemental of Fire) and the 5 that are only theorized to exist in the lore.

Grimgor and Grombi are also some of the weakest footlords. Can’t even hold a candle to newer/reworked lords like Astragoth and Archaon.

his ability gives him regen and constant vigor replenishment

@@Lukashoffmann94 They got stripped of their abilities. Grimgor with You're Next and Gitsnik would have turned Aekold into mince in like half the time this fight took.

@@darthplagueis13 Sure, but does anyone know the price of a naked Aekold? I have only seen the 1750g price, which probably includes some of his abilities/items already. Should be around Grimgors price point if you take him naked. So while he would loose with full loadouts, he would also have quite a bit more battlefield control with a vortex and an aoe slow.

​@@Lukashoffmann94naked grimgor is around 1400 if he just had his passive abilitie that increase his defence and overall resistance i think he would have won

@@Malignard NO one was talking about the DLCs cost. Stop being salty and don't buy it if it isn't worth your cash. It's really that simple

prayers for all the Snikch mains out there , CA will never let you rest

I think what is important to note is that the jade/jet lions can buff the Cathayan frontline with harmony buffs, allowing your ranged units to sit back further and freeing up your formations a bit.

@@wtfmate1066 yeah, personally don't find support units like that very useful in game. Heroes that buff things like missile strength is great, but units like grail relique and stuff I tend to just avoid. Hoping that the jade drum will be different.

@@Frederatorr Grail Relique stuff is really good if you for whatever reason fight a faction that'll just terror rout your chaff nearly immediately. Otherwise? Kinda mid in the Grail Reliques case, but usually units like it can fight a little aswell.

'tis but a flesh wound

i think its part of the animation of getting hit

Not really flying is very strong if theyd also win against everything on their own they would be far too good also khorne is already op no need for buffs

Or just give us an Exalted Bloodthirster unit which is just Skarbrand but can fly

@@IceBear-jb1ip They exist as Lords already.

@@Vengar_ Yeah no shit but they should be regular units too since they’re so good

They won't though because they are lazy and modders are already working on animations for them for free

@@YeetThyBabyI’m pretty sure it’s very difficult for modders to create new animations if not downright impossible

@@marcgw496 there's literally WIP mods up right now that add a ton of custom matched animations to a variety of races, including monster and lord units, they've even got video compilations of their progress here on KZfaq

Lore accurate because khorne must be in a constant state of malding rage

​@@loowick4074more like coping rage😂

Because bloodthirsters arent intended as land on that massive unit and just kill them you need to cycle charge or swoop them repeatedly also khorne is one of if not the strongest faction since release in both pve and pvp

They should get anims for fightinh SE (lords/heroes) as well, as seen in the vid that the current anims don't really work well...

Aekold is also pretty cool, because he is one of the few tzeentch champions, whoose "sporadic changes" of the world around him are pretty nice - instead of mutations, tentacles from the ground and so on, he actually revives life to perfect health, creates flowers on the trails he passes, and etc. He is sort of remind that "changing to better" is also a thing among changes

yea KH furies are the weakest by far. ime TZ furies are the best for fury vs fury fights (that small amount of barrier health offsets both frenzy and poison). but agreed overall SL furies are the best

@@GabaGhoul0 you're probably right. Furies are super fragile but fairly high damage, so one way or another it will be a fast fight. The barrier probably maked the biggest impact in that sort of fight.

theyre also just ripped from the kdaii destroyer but oh well

Good one

Its not a "construct" like the terracota sentinel for some reason

@@steik6414 Hopefully the reason is "mistake", because it makes no earthly sense at all.

I wish they'd just made the vortex beat a super tanky monster with lots of special abilities/ attacks, and left the crazy bonus vs. Large to more melee-specialized creatures. Like, we don't need it to do EVERYthing well.

their balancing team is ran by the marketing team

​@@idle_q3699what balancing team lol

You are better off waiting for the dlc to be in discount or cheap,25$ for this isn't worth it

Oh I always wait for sales

I does look cool, really gets me interested in playing Kislev. ...but I don't think it's justified to be as expensive as the chorfs.

I didn't like the price of Chorfs but they looked so enticing that I couldn't not get them. I love gunpowder units and artillery and huge area of effect spells, so Chorfs are tailor made to my tastes. This DLC does look cool but I'm not tempted to buy it until it's at least 50% off. I don't play any of the races in Shadows of Change so I might just skip this one altogether.

@@choronos With Chorfs I felt quite accepting that price increases happen, so this was a bit more expensive than previous DLC factions. Shadows of Change is a lord pack, and it has the same cost? I'm just confused.

Not not really...

There were a couple. 0:27

@@Malignard They look more like the skin wolves than anything else

I doubt it, they don't have such broken combos as frenzy+unbreakable. at least with these you can scare them and they'll run. also, in this case, anti-infantry is actually the aim while Gorgers were always intended as anti-large (but frankly seemed to just be anti-everything).

SFO Will probably fix that

Its literally a wind of magic given physical form, weird it also didnt have the rule in tabletop.

If anything, Mutaliths should be Unbreakable since they are super-mutated chaos spawn.
