I'd like to add that the Frost Wyrms are also bugged in more ways that one. Firstly, they don't have the Wounds trait for being an SEM. You might think this is a good thing, but it doesn't matter because of the next bug. Secondly, its attack animations are bugged. I'm pretty sure they are not actually damaging many of the units that they are hitting with their animations. I checked to see one's progress today and it was only killing one unit per attack. Check out some of the testing videos online to see what I'm talking about. Their charge attacks seem to work and they were only able to beat Steam Tanks, from what I've seen.

I personally only disagree with armored cossars placing. These guys definetily exceeded my expectations. With different buffs they can have better melee stats than chaos warriors. They have silver shields, so they can tank a lot of missiles. They are amasing line holders for their price. They also receive all missile buffs from the tech, end up with 12 AP and 18 regular damage per shot. And trust me, it is a very good addition, many times in my campaign i saw them reducing to half health of charging enemy unit with low to mid armor.

thats the great part about these tier lists. they're useful to players who are new/learning the game so long as there isn't much balance changes. legend mentioned in his stream recently that he's reluctant to doing tier lists because the previous videos didnt perform so well

One advantage of the Frost wyrm is that it provides siege attacked at tier 3, which is the earliest you can get it. So putting one in your non LL-led army will allow you to fight sieges in one turn in another front if needed.

I really like the new additions to the kislev roster. Halberds are really good early game and kinda turned kislev into a real faction for the first 15 turns to be honest. But my favorite thing with the patch was katarins sled, that thing is just so silly, it never gets stuck and runs through chosen halberds like its nothing. To add, thing i like about streltsi is i can have 2 streltsi in my army just to help to focus fire high value units. Its a unit that you don't need to spam and can mix small amounts between your archers to kill big baddies.

@GoonManGuy

Katarin’s sled is disgustingly good. She just bullies any infantry she fights. Put a banner of speed on her and she just runs down anything in the game. It’s also bugged in such a way that the center of mass for the unit makes it hard for enemy single entities to hit her while she’s routing and she still hits back while she is.

Little Grom has a surprisingly high armor alongside those range boosts, especially thanks to the boosts from the skill tree. So using them as this slow moving chariot once the melee grind begins has saved me multiple times and made this unit a staple to almost every army I make. Seeing it in such a high position just warms my heart.

Note on gryphon legion.

yay tier list, these is always fun

I've found little groms really effective at sniping enemy lords as they approach, they are super accurate and said accuracy can by boosted with a tempest witch.

Love the tier list videos

Really nice list and as a someone who plays Kislev a lot I mostly agree with this list. Only thing I would disagree with is the horse archer unit. Early game that unit is a A tier unit especially with a Druzhina lord on a horse. They are not the best unit in terms of pure stats, but they add so much utility. They are excellent at baiting armies to attack your if they try to take a defensive position, you can make half the enemy army chase you around the map making the main army deal with the enemy in small waves, they are great at snipping high value single/low unit targets like Mammoths, Throt or even Archaeon if you get them to chase you while also keeping them out of combat, when they run out of ammo they are still decent in Melee to kill ranged infantry, artillery, rear charges to break the enemy or chase down fleeing units. Best of all they are really cheap with low global recruitment time to recruit so you only need recruitment 1 building.

How about a ranking for Historical battles throughout the games (like challenging or playabilty or just the way it was brought to life in the games) would love to see it ^.^

Kislevite warrior is s tier IMHO. The they have the same meele def as darvi warriors and insane AP for t0 unit thus they punch way above their weight group. And they are just dirt cheap...like insanely so. Also with this patch the gryphon legion is pretty insane since the update.

I'm quite fond of using the Frost Wyrms to just barrel into the enemy and keep them down for enough time to get my Streltsi and Ice Guard in position, or to blob up infantry for a cavalry charge or a spell. I have a slight weakness for really fast monstrous ground units. The Skaven giant mole rat(can't arse myself to look up what it's actually called) is a bit of the same. They don't necessarily punch the hardest, or take the biggest punches themselves, but they will be where I want them when I want them to be there, and are far easier to withdraw than other units I might stick in similar roles.

Ah I am playing as the bloke at the moment. The guy you unlock! Very very hard campaign this is my 3rd start. Boris!

I would say that one singular unit of dervishes to chase down routing foes is quite useful - not worth a building slot of course, but if I can recruit one in a freshly conquered city or the like, before getting better cav, I usually do.

The things in the wood and incarnate of beast can get stalk with hag heroes, very good for killing missile units and monsters

You should do a tier list of lizardmen now

Tzar guard is more convenient especially if you're playing Katarin specifically because Kislev (The City not Faction) itself has unique building Bokha Palace that connect from Tzar Guard recruitment to Ice Guard thus combining 2 building into one which is very efficient not to mention upkeep reduction bonus for Ice Guard so if there's one place to build it then I would think it would be in Kislev

Honestly, the Winged Lancers are pretty strong and punch above their weight, while the Gryphon Legion is pretty underwhelming comparing the recrutiment (time and cost) and unit tier they are in.

Thx !

I think the new lord of Hag actually help snow leopard stack quite a bit. Especially taking advantage of the leopard’s small size to use the breath spell to heal your entire army. There’s also a spell that does a lot of damage to single entity if enemy have a lot of small size single entity.

Legend, I thought for a long time about how to make total war even more interesting and this idea came to me - what if we limit the number of units that can be hired in one building? For example, high elves - 1 building for hiring dragons, tier 5 - which would make it possible to hire and “maintain” 2-3 high dragons. And of course, strengthen them significantly - so that the dragon would scatter 2-3 infantry units of a smaller tier. Do the same for all other units, well, except for tier 1 - they can be hired without restrictions on numbers. This idea is because of doom stacks - this is a really crazy concept when you can hire an unlimited number of the strongest units with 1 building. Plus, this will diversify the game - it will be necessary to use mixed armies, there will be more sense in capturing new territories, high-tier units will really stand out and seriously influence the battlefield.Of course, it will still be possible to collect a doom stack - but using the example of high dragons, you will need 6-9 capital settlements of the 5th level. What do you think about this idea? Or maybe I'm not the first and someone has already made a similar mod? Thanks for your content!

Akshina ambusher still has more ap damage than ice guard lol. Also they only take 1 turn to recruit, and once you build a t3 landmark at praag(turn 30-ish) you can globally recruit them in 1 turn, and the new lord boost them as well, and you're gonna get the building anyway for the hero, so I think they're still a S-tier unit.

I feel that having a tier list like this where there isn't one tier dominanting above all others is really good. I agree with a lot of the placements here, and understand some of the others, so I feel this roster is pretty good.

I have a question regarding the Kossovite Dervishes. Since post-battle rewards are affected by the number of kills you get, wouldn't it be a good idea to have one or two Dervishes in the army to run down routing units to boost to amount of gold and experience you get post-battle?

A snow leopard doomstack with 3 patriarchs for group healing is amazingly cost effective, even outside of going against ogres. Singly they aren't fantastic but a group of them fighting in a blob can take just about anything, even infantry masses (albeit slowly). Having a caster lord to help thin out infantry and you've got a fantastic and cheap army from T3 onward.

Wait, you disband the Snow Leopard at the start? Honestly I like to use it as a "bodyguard" of sorts, enhances Katarin's melee damage and can also pin units if she needs to flee. But I guess if its that or a whole other unit of archers or something then I see how it would be worth it

Things in the Woods and Incarnate Elementals can easily be given stalk in any army by a fairly low level Hag Witch, making them some of the most useful monsters in the game imo.

If you solely take their battlefield performance into account, war sleds are definitely incredible. The problem with them is their campaign map performance is hot garbage. Every time I use them, I have to fight nearly 100% of my battles because their autoresolve is so trash. Additionally, losing even a single hp from attrition or any other source drops their count from 4 models to 3. You'll see a 99% hp war sled with 3 models, which is equivalent to making them 75% on the battlefield. War sleds are one of the units in this game that autoresolve treats like steaming garbage and having to fighting 99% of the battles is so boring and tedious, especially when they're obviously easy wins. I even have times when autoresolve says it nukes nothing, but nukes sleds anyways. Game does the same thing with units like Witch Elves and CA just doesn't fix it.

I absolutely agree. I still don't understand why players are so harshly punished for even attempting to build more diverse armies through the early to midgame. Especially since battles are the most fun in the early and midgame when they can still have some high stakes. Most of the time I also just fall back into spamming easy to recruit units, and by the time I'm comfortable building most types of barracks and diversifying my armies, the campaign usually got boring already. Giving all factions more options to recruit more unit types without too much investment, would make early game battles so much more fun and interesting, as you yourself can recruit more than just archer spams without nuking your entire economy, and don't run into stack after stack of half spearmen and half archers by the AI.

If you play Catharin you can quickly build that unique building in Kislev (that you want to build anyway) and then Global Recruit Tzar Guard for the rest of the campaign. I just finished a Catharin-campaign and I didn't build that millitary building for Tzar Guard even once (well I did, but only for the Golden Knight, then I instantly demolished it.) I'd put Tzar Guard with Shield in A-tier. They're not that inconvinient to build and they hold the line better than anything.

Dervishes and Horse Archers are definitely not excellent units, but I find that if you have a few of them they do an ok job of clearing enemy cavalry and dogs. While those units aren't that threatening it kind of clears up the field a bit and I can use them to get the enemy to charge at my defensive line. Cavalry in general work most effectively when working together, so while one unit won't always win a fight, you can beat tougher enemies by surrounding them with several.

For heavy war sleds they do also have more mass than light war sleds I believe, doesn't make them much better but it does allow them to perform a little better against infantry (not that kislev needs much more anti infnatry)
