    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

    Remember how in previous total wars units could dismount? Now imagine the mount gets killed at 20% hp and the lord/hero is left on foot with the remaining hp, or some set value, like 30-40%. That would make us both enjoy using mounted heroes to their full potential and having an opportunity to witness their glorious animations.

    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.

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.

    In regards to the Nuln Ironside, those might have a repeater function in the way of stacked bullets in the reloading tube (think Winchester reload tube). Also, that missile damage profile, we don't know of that 31 was across multiple bullets.

    As an Empire player I'm so excited for this DLC and love almost all of it. 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. Its in the lore, its in the art, its even on the tabletop, why isnt it in game?? The witch hunter should get a horse and Pegasus option too.

    Something I've always thought would be a cool mechanic to implement would be a knock out mechanic for mounts, where after taking a certain amount of damage the mount gets k.o'd, and then the character continues fighting on foot. I know its the type of thing that will never be implemented, but I just think it would be really cinematic, and then you'd get more opportunities to see all those cool on-foot choreographies.

    If they gave Theodore the ability to instantly resurrect after dying with a 5 or 10 turn cooldown the on death effect could see more use and be not amazing but it would definitely see more value. It Should be an "oh my hero died", not a yea my hero died, or a dang it my hero died.

    I agree with milk 100% on the nuln ironsides . That attack on the zombies was the old repeater one, it's gonna be fixed . Unfortunately it's gonna be fixed . I really wanted the repeaters with the bayonets . They looked so good and a spear ( bayonet) is better than a sword . I was also hoping for a much bigger unit size. I was hoping for a new front line to phase out my meele exclusive infantry late game . Everything else I found amazing but the ironsides definitely made me sad. That unit was the one I was most excited for

    @ 10:35 oh yeah, those are straight up Repeater Handgun animations. I think its also interessting that you can see that the projectiles are actual bullets, not just round shot. Makes we wonder whether outriders had their animations updated aswell. Its a bummer that we don't get Ironsides with repeaters. Not blaming this one squarely on GW, but it does feel like they've taken more creative control in recent history, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was their call.

    It would have been cool if most of the guns on the land ship were on the sides so you have to set up broadsides. That would encourage you to push it in front of your lines set up a shot. You could even come up with a lore excuse like they didn't have valve technology so it takes damage of it stops moving and let you set up patrol loops or something, basically you'd have to use it like it was a naval bathe

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.
