Good to see The Empire return. I have some advice regarding the great cannons. As far as I understand, the shots from the great cannon will bounce when they hit the ground the first time and continue forward for a bit further. Depending on where they land and what is in their path, this can allow great cannons to rack up a lot of kills in a single volley. Their best use case is against large targets like monstrous infantry, cavalry units, and very large single entity units. Less ideal but still good use cases are Chosen which have high health per model. The great cannons have a lot of punch in their shots so they'll take a lot of fight out of the chosen before they can get close. You can snipe lords with great cannons, but that isn't ideal because most lords aren't that big of a target so they are easy to miss. Targeting infantry isn't a bad idea if there isn't anything better, but do try to prioritize armored infantry or high health per model infantry like chaos warriors, chorf warriors, and plague bearers with the great cannons. Anything else is likely just a waste unless you can hit a lot of models which is unlikely. You'll probably get somewhere between 50-75 kills on average per unit of great cannons per battle, but sometimes you may get lucky and surpass 100.

Who's ready from some lore?!! :D Elspeth is the one responsible for the destruction of Tamurkhan when he lays siege to Nuln. How, you may ask? She makes the equivalent of a Death Magic nuke talisman and then gives it to the champion of Nuln, Theodore Bruckner, without really telling him what exactly it was. Theodore and Tamurkhan duke it out in an epic duel atop their mounts, and Theodore manages to defeat Tamurkhan...or so he thought. Tamurkhan, who is actually a large demon-maggot, bursts forth from his destroyed Ogre body and latches on to poor Theodore, burrowing into his body through his mouth. However, the moment Tamurkhan latches on, Elspeth's little surprise activates, exploding into a ball of Death Magic that reduces Theodore, Tamurkhan, and anyone unlucky enough to be in the vicinity into purple ash. Thus fell Tamurkhan. A perfect example of how Elspeth will always get the job done, even if the methods leave something to be desired. :D

You know, the idea that a Skaven is giving ideas in the Gunnery School or any subject matter is not unheard of for they are constantly scheming. Who knows how many weapons were made or spells conjured because a mysterious figure in a grey cloak gave a simple idea.

they then steal it once it's more finished. Because much as Ikit is very capable himself, he also knows there are other "almost as good"(Read: just as good but he'd sooner die than admit it) inventors not too far he can "borrow" from. And there's nothing he would love more than to take their ideas and make them his to "prove his superiority".

Maybe it's a captured Skaven Engineer being kept in a cage. The humans are happy because the Skaven gives them ideas and helps somewhat and the Skaven is happy because he gets more than 1 meal a day and only beaten sometimes.

Tim the Engine Enchanter It should just fit in the limit and fits with your Tim the Engineer Enchanter idea. I'm really looking forward to seeing Elspeth's Carmine Dragon and some of those upgrades for the Gunnery units. The Nuln Ironsides with the Tier 3 explosive bullets in particular should be absolutely insane, especially if you get some Lord Buffs from a Master Engineer then put an Engineer Hero in their army. Also really hope you can get some Outriders with Grenade Launchers soon, I'll never get tired of watching them slam volleys into skeletons and zombies. For the Gardens of Morr you'd ideally want to have them in Allied or Owned Settlements in corners of the Empire. So one near Marienburg, one in Sylvania, one in the Norldland area and another to the North East on the border of Kislev. That just lets you instantly move to respond to threats in any region of the Empire if needed.

Still my favourite total war youtuber since total war rome 2

I know Gotrex and Felix helped save Nuln from Thanquol and the Skaven. I don't think they met Elsvith but they did get the thanks from some woman that was in a position of power. So having them in your campaign would be thematic also the Skaven end game.

I've got you and Sotek pulled up on separate windows while I wait on my own embargo to drop. Awesome video as always! Tips from my own testing, be very patient with your first few sieges as Elspeth! Your foot soldiers will get dropkicked by undead units, so use those heroes to distract or blob up baddies while your explosives do the work! You want mortars as SOON as possible to complement your helstorm! Good luck to you sir!

The Amathyst Order is the order of the Colleges of Magic that studies Shyish, the Purple Wind of Magic, the Lore of Death. Whilst necromancy SEEMS similar, that black art is a corrupt combination of Shyish with Dark Magic Nagash picked up from the Druuchi eons past. In actuality, the Amathyst Order is probably the MOST dedicated foe of the undead in the Empire outside the Priesthood of Morr and the Knights of the Black Rose as well as various Sigmarite or unaffiliated Vampire Hunters, for Shyish is the study of natural entropy and spiritual movement, whilst necromancy is by definition a halting of entropy and stagnation. To wielders of Shyish, undeath is a perversion of everything they stand for.

I'm glad I got here early. Here are some unit name suggestions. I'm not good with names Purple Rain: Hellstorm rocket battery Sigmar's cigar: Great Cannon Stake n Shake: Spearmen or Halberd The Reborn: Imperial Knights Hole Punchers: Imperial Gunmen Off the top: Greatswords

After the CA videos, I'm very excited to see this new campaign, it's features and the changes to the Empire. SO, I was extremely pleased to see you've posted this video. o7

Looking forward to seeing how this series turns out!

So glad to see the empire again, feels like an age since they had the spotlight

regarding army composition: nothing specific BUT - for this faction i recommend looking up the strategy of 'reverse hill defense' Its a pike and shot era strat that lasted to the age of sail/renaissance. Its... extremely effective for empire gun heavy armies.

Yessssss....i love it

Great video as always. I am glad to see you return to Warhammer 3. Maybe try to avoid having your rockets fire over your units as often, i think you are killing more of your own troops than the ennemy is.

My unit name suggestion is Children of the Blade for any swords unit, preferably a higher quality unit so that they are less likely to be obliterated in battle : D

Ive been waiting for this

Withering Rose Knights to- The Morr Guard.

You don't need your units in a wide line, that makes them worse at holding in melee and wastes time they would be shooting for your gunner units. A 4-man deep line fires as well as a 2-man deep line but the 4-man line will be formed up faster. Same goes for Infantry units. You should also try using the Chevron formation, form your Infantry and Gunners up *Infantry - Gunner - Infantry - Gunner - repeat* then when battles start retreat just your gunners, the enemy infantry when charging will blob up around your infantry and be able to be fired upon MUCH more efficiently.

Alternate Name for Tim: Tim the Tinkerer Unit Names: Landship:Boaty McBoatFace, Jolly Rodger, Black Pearl Engineer/Master Engineer: Scotty Montgomery Nuln Ironsides:Gravediggers, The Thorns, The Last Liners, The Iron Company Hochland Long Rifles:The Tallymen, The Reckoners, The Dead Eyes, Tims' Top Shots Free Company:Dottenbach’s Revenge Outriders:Blackpowder Bandits, Wissenland Wild Riders Cannon:Death Knell, The Toll, Old Bess, Lucille,Wall Breaker Hellstorm Rockets: Wailing Doom Knights of the Black Rose: Deaths Heralds, Ebon Tide, Smiling Skulls Demigryph Knights: The Beaky Boys Steam Tank:Morrs' Hammer, The Iron Rose, Nutcracker, The Inevitable, Fury of the Forge Hellblaster Volley Guns: Forged Fury, Gatling V2 Amaethyst Hellstorm Rockets:Purple Rain

i like how they updated the 3D models, it looks more clean

Been looking forward to this one. I am not normally that enthused about the Empire, who I am not a big fan of, but Elspeth looks interesting. Name for Hochland Long Rifles - The Sharpe Shooters

Perhaps Tim should be Tim the Enginechanter? On strategy with gunner heavy factions is to stagger your melee troops to allow your gunners in the back to fire through the gaps, essentially creating lanes of fire, another thought is to create slight wedges to force engagements of melee troops at an angle, to allow a direct firing lane into the flanks of the enemy by your gunners.

My golden boy is getting a new starting position! Feck yes! So excited for that

Unit name suggestions: Nuln ironsides: Brotherhood of gunpowder Knights of the black rose: Deliverers of death hellstorm rocket battery: eclipsing storm

For any calvary unit in honor on Bernard Hill we need a Theodan's Guard

Army names Helblaster Volley Gun = The big DAKKA (Orc's stole it from the Empire. Now they steal it back.) Hand Gunners = Nuln's Rifleman Renowned Hand Gunners = Nuln's Marksmen Free company militia = Thy Duelist squad

Some names for Knights of the Black Rose: Morrs Mortifiers Das Todesschwadron (The Death Squadron) Elspeths Eliminators Nulns Nachtmahre (Nuns Nightmare) Mors Rosa (Rose of Death)

One of the special amethyst Helstorm batteries that fires mini Purple Suns can be named the Purple Melon Catapult. A steam tank named the Talabheim Ice Cream Truck would also be nice.

I would really like to see one more empire DLC focusing on the cult of Ulrich (not sure if that is spelled correctly) were they overhaul the warpriest abilities because then you can have more priest of sigmar or priests of Ulrich the head of the cult is actually like a really powerful character in Warhammer fantasy he has the wolf knights the wolfkin and a few other people maybe throw in the sisters of sigmar and a few other religious groups and probably have them come in with a norsca and burtonian but this is just my idea what do you all think?

Name suggestion for artillery units: - Tim's Big Boom Boys - Bombardiers of Nuln Name suggestion for cavalry units: - Skull crushers of Nuln - Death heads

Unit Name Suggestion for the master engineer lord: Sparky the Powder Mage I go to College at ASU and something that is always repeated is that we are #1 in Innovation (however you measure that) I feel it goes great with the Master Engineer line "Expert in Innovation"

Funny how in the video she says she wants to drive back the forces of evil while she herself looks pretty evil. I guess you gotta fight fire with fire. And why would you think a mount would make any character more tanky? The only thing it does is take her out of reach when she flies. Usually the only thing mounts do to characters is severely reduce their melee defence and weapon damage/strength while buffing speed and charge bonus (and maybe hp pool a bit). Skellies so brave, continue fighting even after having lost their head. Maybe try to ambush in reinforcement range of your settlement so that if the ambush gets foiled, you can still try to prevent the loss of the settlement? Enemy spears and lionheart cav magically attract one another.

Unit name suggestions: The Wissenland Welcome Commitee - any kind of long range artillery such as Mortars, Hellstorm Batteries or Cannons The Hendorf Hardscopes - Hochland Longrifles Emanuelle's Pony Club - Any cavalry unit but preferably Outriders The Dotternbach Dakka Delegation - Either Nuln Ironsides, Outriders or Hellblaster Volley Guns The Handsome Headsman's Heavy Hand - Greatsword or Carroburg Greatswords

Name suggestions: Handgunners - The Freshmen Black Rose Knights - Mournful Masters Volley Gun - Morr Dakka Nuln Ironsides - IGS Professors Union Handgunners - R&D Interns Great Cannon - Cannon Fodder Swordsmen - Crash Test Dummies Engineer - Not 3 skaven in a trench coat Engineer - Nuts Von Boltstein Handgunners - Nuln Oil Enthusiasts

Hellstorm rocket battery name Empires Independence

there is a building in cathey near gelt that gives all your wizards elemental mastery so even if you don't go pokemon mode somehow getting you hands on the settlement (i think it's called temple of the elemental winds or something like that) is definitely worth a shot

ugh I'm so conflicted now because I want to start up a Karl campaign but I know as soon as the dlc drops im gonna drop everything to play Elspeth

Tim the Boomancer cause with the faction mechanics artillery should be a big part of the campaign

So Elspeth had an Alliance with a few reputable Old World factions, has an Alliance with the Elector Countess of Nuln. Also she has a close alliance with the Cult of Morr (Old World God of Death).

Blast everything to bits before they reach you!

Tim Kerer for the engineer's name

Elspsth von Draken has been a protector of the Empire for three generations, with endless local legends told by children in Nuln of the Graveyard Rose to scare each other, but despite her terrifying aspect and gloomy demeanor she has always been a very ardent defender of the Empire. Highly independent (an oddity for Imperial Mages, especially for a full majestrix), her terrifying reputation often attracts Witch Hunters with more zeal than common sense, who deem the tales about her to paint her as a threat. Unfortunately for them, in addition to being quite possibly the most powerful and battle-tested practitioner of Shyish the Empire has, she is also a rarity for an Imperial Mage in that she also cultivates powerful political connections; Elector Countess Emmanuelle von Liebwietz herself gets on well with her since her defense of Nuln from the Chaos Lord Tamurkhan, and since the Countess herself is no warrior she is perfectly happy to let Elspeth take the reigns and protect her beloved city when she asks, and is equally happy to extend her political influence to drive away hapless Witch Hunters who bite off more then they can chew.

Gun powder spam it is

I bet the Knights of the Black Rose also can‘t wait to meet you and Morr soon after 😅

Von Draken was instrumental in defeating and slaying the Kurgan Champion of Nurgle Tamurkhan when the Maggot Lord launched a massive invasion of Wissenland with a great horde of the Warriors of Chaos and their Chaos Dwarf allies out of the Eastern Steppes that culminated in the savage Battle of Nuln in 2510 IC.

I suggest Tim the Powder Mage, and also recommend the Powder Mage book series by Brian McClellan whilst I'm at it.

If every faction was similar to this with like the gunnery school or slaves workshop, the game would be amazing.

My only thought for the dragon is some play on the game "where in the world is, En-Carmine San Diego"

Empire General name suggestion: Götz Von Berlichingen Götz Von Berlichingen was a famous Holy Roman Empire knight who lost his hand from a cannon early in his life. Though losing his hand, Götz refused to step away and fashioned a prosthetic hand that would allow him to carry his sword. Fun fact: Götz grew in fame through his consistent rivalries with various lords and was also the person who made the term “Kiss my Arse” famous. “Er aber, sag's ihm, er kann mich im Arsch lecken!” (But he, tell him that, he can lick me in the arse!)

May Morr and Sigmar guide you, Lord GothHeart! 🖤🖤🖤🪦🥀

Im not sure if this is entirey true but i heard Elspeth may be distantly related to Isabella Von Carstein, which may explain her strong association and obsession with the lore of death.
