Agreed, they are such a cool unit!

Longbeards are ITP while ironbreakers aren't because that's how it was in the Tabletop game. Longbeards are ancient; they've been around the mountains, seen everything, done everything, killed at least one of everything. Nothing phases them at all. They'll face down a charging giant and grumble about "How why in MY days, the Giants were at least TWICE as big as this sorry specimen, won't ya' know it?! AND they had more teeth!" Ironbreakers might be elite, but they don't have the breadth and width and more importantly, the age and experience that Longbeards have. They can still be rattled by scary things, hardbitten as they may be.

Longbeards aren't necessarily always Longbeards. Old warriors just tend to be classed as them. I remember some white dwarf article which said that when Dwarf elites near the end of their ancient lifespans, they don't have the necessary stamina to go out onto front lines anymore, but nothing can truly kill their fighting spirit, so they become in effect 'Longbeards' who go out to battle every so often- as they're the group most keenly interested in satisfying grudges apart from Slayers.

I generally like how things are done, but I do think its confusing that the ultimate holding unit doesn't have ITP, but the mid level unit does. It's different from Slayers, who are unbreakable, but vulnerable to damage. That's to let them fight to the last man. Ironbreakers should hold to the last man, but they can run from monsters and such, while the rando mid range unit won't. And if that's the way it was in the TT, then I would have an issue with it there too. If the longbeards are so good, then why aren't they used as Ironbreakers?

@@shorewall Because they're old, grumbling men. Not young/middle aged frontline fighters in the prime of their long lives. They don't have the stamina to run around in the tunnels all day and their experience is too valuable to put them in toughest spots, which is where the Ironbreakers, with their armour would be. Longbeards are not professional warriors anymore; they're old curmudgeony bastards who show up to a fight to stand behind the main lines, smoking their pipes and grumble with each other (and anyone else that has the misfortune of being within earshot) about how the Orcs are too small, the Goblins aren't numerous enough, and everything in general was both tougher and better back in their days. Sure, they're still tough as old boots if they need to get stuck in, but that's not why they're there: they're like those old men that always gather around public works to complain about how the quality of work is so shoddy nowadays. That's who Longbeards are. They're umarells, if you speak italian.

Typically in the TT a unit only had ITP for special reasons. Longbeards cuz they're old and grizzled veterans who are tired of the greenskins/skavens shit and have seen everything that could be thrown against them a dozen times over. Mark of Slaanesh units get it because the gift of Slaanesh isn't just increased speed and agility, it's also more a mental twisting of perception. Slaaneshi worshippers seek extremes in all emotions, including fear and terror, so not only does it not effect them the way it would a normal mind, they relish the sensation. In both of these examples, ITP has nothing to do with how elite/strong a unit is, and more about the unit's mindset. The actual measure of a unit's discipline and bravery is their leadership statistic, not ITP. Fear is meant to represent something unnerving, creepy, or intimidating. It represents the slow drain on morale that would come from fighting your zombified loved ones, or the mental trauma of fighting something unatural like a daemon. You're forced to keep swinging your sword at these creatures that...shouldn't be. You're a warrior fighting in a war, so its not enough to make to shit your pants and flee in terror, but it pushes you one step closer to cracking under the pressure and running anyway. Fear is slow and insidious. Terror more represents a supernatural horror that pierces your mind like the scream of a banshee and causes you to start running before you know what you're doing, or something so monstrous and powerful and loud that even the bravest warriors with super high leadership can be startled or shocked into a momentary panic when that dragon/greater daemon/steam tank crashes into your ranks from behind when you were already fighting for your life against something in front of you, which is why terror is a short-lived effect. It's more likely to take effect if your leadership was already suffering from your unit losing so many men, or from being surrounded or charged in the flank or from magic sapping your courage. Eventually you and your mates come to your senses, pull up your soiled britches, and return to the fighting. TL:DR Elite Unit = Higher Leadership ITP = Special Circumstance or Supernatural Ability that allows unit to nullify fear & terror ITP is not a measure of a unit's eliteness or power.

Жыл бұрын

I've started playing in WH2 and my favorite faction is VC. I always considered Dwarfs to be very strong. Their basic game plan of tarpiting with durable frontline and then dealing damage with range and artillery is just solid and I can't imagine it ever being bad. Dwarfs will always be at least even in the matchup I feel. The biggest problem was the matchup in the campaign, though. VC had no access to early effective AP damage there. All the good stuff that actually does something vs Dwarfs, like GW Great Guard, Cairn Wraiths, Vargheists etc. were gated behind high tier buildings and/or required expensive support buildings. Also note the offenders Crypt Horrors, who were an early AP unit, but were generally just shit. You avoided fighting the Dwarfs as much as you could, even though they start right next to you, also because of the climate in case of Vlad/Mannfred, which then often resulted in annoying large Dwarf empires that took ages to dismantle once you actually got some AP options. WH3 and Immortal Empires fixed pretty much everything. Crypt Horrors are good again and other stronger AP options more accessible. Updated Raise Dead mechanics allow you to cheat and get these units even sooner. To top it all off, Vlad specifically starts with a beastly army of Blood Knights, Vargheists and a Black Coach which all do lots of AP damage for some Dwarf killing. I fought them as early as turn 7 and succeeded.

@sandercohen9712

Жыл бұрын

They were equal in WH2, more or less. Vamps could swarm Dawi ranged with summons and dawi didn't really have the mass to go after mortis engines effectively, and three fell bats was enough to shut down the entire dawi airforce. I'd even say it was slightly VC favoured. In current land battles it's massively VC favoured, but in dom it's a bit different since vamps can't buffstack as effectively + zombies and skellies have low cap weight now. VC would probably crush TK though if TK skellies had the same cap weight as the VC ones have.

When I'm TK vs Dawi on campaign I bring Ushabti Greatbows for the speed, range and AP as well as Casket of Souls which is the firepower you need to be effective vs. Dawi armor (instead of tickling them with the Screaming Skulls Catapults). Dive into melee with mobile Lords/Hero/SE buffed with Nehekara spells as you rain Casket and Greatbow fire on them. Skelly Arrows shoot any Slayers and then you can use things like Venom Knights with good effect vs. their non-anti-large infantry and ranged.

A Dawi replay hell yeah!

Very surprised the TK didn't bring any chariots, as they are quite good vs dawi. Even if they are a bit micro intensive.

imo, the entire outcome of that game was based on the initial placement of those Screaming Skull catapults.

Metaslayer is my favorite Gotrek and Felix novel.

Undead units when they break should lose modles a hell of a lot faster. On the table top they can lose as much as 1/4 of their unit per turn just to crumble. Also I think Empire should get something to make up for the lack of detactments, they are quite op on table top and a really big part of what makes Empire strong. In total war they do not exist at all.

Outside of marauders and Slaanesh I think TWW is more balanced then it gets credit for.

Because of this they will never have a good win rate even though they're balanced. The marauder bug is just too much or points increase and Slaanesh I2P and high move values are not as relevant in tabletop so it's hard to gauge where they should be even though we all can agree they should be more
