I love all the cinematic tactics that Turin pulls off. Whenever I try to do such things in my campaigns, it never quite looks as cool or works as well, with all these different units pulling off their little jobs and missions, each being summoned and used wherever it was needed.

Man I'm so happy to see where you are today, it's really great to see your channel and content to be in such a great place. I played you a few times under the alias LordyFlashheart years ago when warhammer 1 first came out, I was amazed how you owned my Dawi so well with Vampire counts and was asking for advice to protect my backline, fast forward a few years and look at you now dude, thanks for all the great content since then ^^

9:20 There's an amazing QoL change added to those abilities; you can see if it's active or not by text color. In this case "Enabled if: Unit is attacking rear or flank" is red, indicating it's not active. It should be green when they're attacking rear or flank. Great match btw. Arcane Phoenix is really smart choice against the Chaos Dwarfs, but one I believe CA going to nerf since they nerfed Imrik and Dragon Princes in 3.0 (reduced Fire Resistance for both from 40% to 25%, obviously because of the Chaos Dwarfs, 40% was too high when you play against a race with full fire damage). The lads at CA forgot the Arcane Phoenix.

I don't like how they seem to be undoing a lot of these more extreme, specialist units. Yeah, it can be annoying if you run into a high fire resist enemy when you have mostly fire damage, but it hurts that unit's identity when you get rid of their special attribute just so a player who didn't plan ahead can easily counter them. I really hate how they shifted the physical resist of ethereals down to 55%, even with their compensating buffs. They feel a lot less like ghosts now when most units can pound them pretty quickly, even without magic damage. Stuff like Syreens just flat-out suck now.

@azizsh9091

​@@nickaretta1329 Ethereal units got better stats, pure AP damage & special attacks (the last two are "ghost" attributes, so they still feel like ghosts), and they still got 55% physical resist which is not low by any means. Test them more and you'll realize their performance is actually better now. If they kept the 70% resistance they will be utterly broken! The same logic applies to Dragon Princes (and Arcane Phoenixes if they get nerfed) since they also got physical resistance (20%) on top of their fire resistance (25%) = most of Chorf units deal half damage to them! Those are high-tier and decent units that will still perform well even if you deal full damage to them, when it's down to half they're guarantied to perform way over their value. They will still be spammed in multiplayer against Chaos Dwarfs after the nerf. I get that it doesn't matter for campaign and it's okay to have op units there, but units' balance in this game is tied to multiplayer and always have been. In campaign you get the tools to make anything op when you want to (lord skills, technologies, landmarks, defeat traits... etc).

Great match! I was impressed by how well the Phoenixes were performing. Well played.

A lot of people seem to think that the Chaos Dwarves are overtuned, but I disagree. The only things that are a *little* crazy are the bull centaur renders (Which are too slow to pick proper cav fights), Mr. Ironhand, and *maybe* magma cannons. Oh yeah, and armor-piercing blasting charges are broken but expensive. Everything here has a weakness.

Ya know as excited as I am to play the chorfs. I’m glad to see them not being overwhelmingly powerful.

Was that 12:49 watch them as they go a reference to a foo fighters song?

Since chaos dwarfs lack magic resist, Tiranoc chariots might have a niche here too.

With the overcast snowing effect, this map looks way better than the glare fest that this was at launch. huge improvement visually!

High Elves finally getting on the roster D:

Love watching your vids. Great casts!!

I'm always hoping to see Turin play High Elves more often so this was nice :)

Chorfs seem surprisingly balanced (in MP, their campaign buffs are bonkers).

Haven't seen this map on the channel in forever!! This was one of the more interesting vanilla maps imo

I'm not sold on Shadow Warriors and Sisters of Avelorn against Chorfs, but Arcane Phoenix, Fireborn and Rahagra's pride are good counters. HE might be the answer to the Dawi Zharr menace !

One tech I'd really like to see explored against Chorfs is Bloodwrack Medusas. They have the potential to wreck tightly packed armored infantry, and Chorfs seem to struggle to handle SEMs at range. Biggest consideration is that you'd need a screen against Bull Centaurs, since Medusae are just slightly slower.

@dome2919

That's actually a really neat idea. Mortars and Magcannons prob aren't great vs. SEs and their shooting *REALLY* wants to be close to the front. An actual niche for medusas would be cool!

amazing commentary, turin, u absolute chad. hyped for chorfs!

Imagine getting absolutely immolated by a hell fiend machine and just before dying you hear a disembodied voice casually say "yeah it tickles the pickle" and that is the end of your 1000 year elf existence

I think High Elves aren't as bad as their MP stats portray them, of course it depends on matchups and if the enemy is bringing an efficient build. I've been running Imrik with 1 or 2 Moon Dragons, Loremaster for magic, sometimes Phoenix Guard and supplementary units like spearman. Spearman hold up really well, which allows you to keep alpha striking different sections. Plus Imrik is just a boss and annihilates large SE's like they're pudding, but also melts lines of infantry on his dragon. I've been winning most of my games with this style, even against like a strong faction like Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings. I also try and go light or 0 on the ranged since sometimes it's nearly impossible to defend them (or i'm probably just bad at it xD) Amazing game looking forward to seeing more of what chaos dwarves can bring to the table.

I think that Chaos dwarves are great for the multiplayer meta. They seem to be an anti meta faction. Dunking on some of the top tier armies but struggling with some of the lower tier factions. Lots of people are calling for nerfs to magma cannons but id like to wait to see how the meta evolves. They seem a lot like the sunmaker to me in that if you don't know what they do they'll dumpster your army but if you build against them or have a plan to deal with them they're effectiveness can be minimised

Magmas are for sure OP!

Lions get a bonus against infantry right? Might be a good option for threatening astrogoth?

Would a dragon prince build be a good idea in this matchup? They're really expensive, but they have lots of physical and fire resistance, and I feel like they'd be able to shrug off way more damage in this fight than in most other matchups.

As a high elf fan, I thank you for an excellent battle! It is good the see the high elves can beat the chaos dwarves! Thy can be beaten!

14:30 it makes sense because he has similar legs to a Star Wars AT-ST which are often called chicken walkers.

11:53 It's fun to watch the goblins get bounced around by the Dragon Princes, even though none of them are engaged in combat any more.

Is it just me, or did they fix the blinding snow on this map? I remember it having awful glare.

03:17 i hope someday they will fix how 3 Units fire their entire Volley on the same 10 Models.

The person who said foghorn leghorn was named Austin something! I tried to remember it since it would come up again undoubtedly, yet I have mostly failed 😂

The one map where I'd recommend DQ mortars over the magma cannon. keep it low and safe while lobbing shots on the side points

Nice game! And with so many meme picks :)

Wait a second, does it mean that fire born is finally relevant now with the introduction of chaos dawi ? XD

if you turn vfx detail to ultra the projectiles will be sharp again and not so blurry

We can hold our pointy ears high at last :D

I think more units need fire resistance and maybe fire attacks also Dragon princes in general, dragons, skarbrand etc. It would be a new big step for the game for more strategy

Imrik would be very good against the chorfs.

Turin maybe you should try rallying the community to get CA to add the maps because we all want to save one of our favorite games that they are killing with something as simple as maps!

Im diggin him bein called foghorn hahaha that s#$t is funny😂

I am not convinced that Sisters of Averlorn would be a good idea against Chaos Dwarves. Sure they got AP, but they are also very vulnerable to artillery, monsters and cavalry. And sure, you might be able to defend them against monsters and cavalry, but what about the enemy artillery? Not to mention, their damage is already reduced, because of the enemy fire resistance. Which was the same issue they had against the dwarves in TW:W2 (just with magic). To me, they seem like a very high risk, with a somewhat reduced reward. With an archer unit as expensive as them, barely paying for themselves after spending almost all their ammor on non-chaf units, with all their models up, is not exactly a win in my opinion.

CA not taking your maps as the high quality free labour they are is just plain stupid. The maps are up in the workshop, so there already shouldn't be legal issues for them either.

Fighting someone named Flying Taco, the lack of flying units and tacos in this video was really disapointing.

like chaos dwarfs a lot more now , nice to see these elven units hehe

Blunderbusses even normal dont do fire damage they all have supresssion

When is your next championship Turin?

Awesome to see arcane phoenixes! In accordance with human boy YesYes's video on unit behavior changes in 3.0, it really felt like your phoenixes had good maneuverability on the field. I'm excited to see SEMS and other potential disregarded units be given another chance. :) One of those changes that could potentially shake up the meta in some matchups. :)

Yeah not one dread quake mortor or hellshrieker rocket. Kind of silly when you know the enemy is gonna bring loads of archers and big birds. I think chaos dwarf players have been bringing to little chaff and too little fire powe to these fights. You need loads of slaves to slow harass and chase enemies. And with the bag stabing quality of the hob gobline wolf riders pining the enemy with chaff then rear charging is probably more cost effective then slow dwarf warrior infantry that is just gonne be pincushioned to death. Chaff and a demon engine caravan to chase burn and blast the enemy as it is harassed and pinned down by chaff that you dont care if they get caught in the blast.

The demons thong...?

I think DElves are gonna be bane of Chorfs even more than Helves.

Жыл бұрын

Don't watch them then? I think they're far better than land battles which are over in 5 mins

For sure the Fireborn were not worth it at all, you can get more use out of cheaper, faster units. Also halfway you could've mopped up all the nearly-wiped out CD units in the center using the Fireborn, but as you were thinking of other targets you kind of let them sit idle and that dragged out that battle longer that it could have (although fortunately the CD reinforcements were quite slow to reach there, anyway). Reavers are also still garbage which you'd only get if you quickly need to cram a cheap unit in somewhere to turn the tide of that battle or if you want to try to distract your enemy with a cheap unit somewhere. Shadow warriors also kinda meh by itself, but I suppose their skirmishing formation makes them less easy for CD to get rid of and the fact they can just move and shoot means you are going to get in much desired attrition on CD units. While they aren't good units, they are easily worth their money against CD. I'd say what won you the game is A. you picked a lot of fast units so you were able to keep the initiative to resolve/fix battles you wanted to resolve/fix and B. since the core of CD units are on the slower side, it wasn't very smart of your opponent to overextend and split up his forces that early. CD are still Dwarfs so obviously they work best in one huge formation instead of being sent out individually. of course they get non-Dwarf units, but if the CD core cannot keep up with those units then even if those other units can make gains, you can quickly reverse that and pick them apart where it's needed. CD will obviously struggle against much speedier factions when they also have to worry about capturing points.

it's so cringe how all the TWW3 influencers falsely think the H in Drazhoath is silent, when it's not, and they're leading the entire community to mispronounce his name as a result. His name is Draz-ho-ath. Not Draz-oath. There's 3 syllables in his name. THREE. And an H sound.
