Regional. The Knightly Orders are not all based in Altdorf. In Reikland you have Reiksguard, Knights Griffon, and Highhelms(tall helms can't remember). Knights of the Blazing Sun are based in...
i think they will, the recent explosion of warhammer fantasy games based on pre Age of Sigmar shows that they are basically trying to continue to make money off it, but i doubt they will be as strict...
iirc dawn of war didn't have full rosters either, but expanded them as they went. for me its too early to judge, though i agree the look of the empire is a little bland compared to what we have seen...
Being as it seems the empire's playable faction is Reikland, it's fairly standard. i see dlc/freelcs coming in the form of a sigmarite/religion dlc which introduces Volkmar the grim, war altars, and...
For lizardmen, I Burning Shore is pretty good, the second book is about the ogre kingdoms, the main characters florin and Lorenzo are some of my fave.
pre-order stuff aside, happy to see how large the roster is. Looks like chariots are in, and despite the fact that i am not a chaos player, got a thing for dragon ogres. Not to mention dragon ogre...
"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is forgiven." - Alith Anar, the Shadow King
The Nordland men have been fighting this war long before the Reikland princes took the throne, and we will be fighting...
ill start it off

Thank you for preserving my laziness
anything from tamurkhan throne of chaos, and because the game starts at Franz's coronation, I don't think that invasion happened yet. Also lothern sky cutters, flying boats pulled by giant eagles...
Well, if tilea and estalia are going to be in in some form of fashion, than I see them being pike and crossbow heavy. So that covers pike animations for units like alcatani fellowship. Galloper guns...
Way more than I expected for first map. The wood elf forest seems to be blanked out, so I'm assuming they are not in first game. I'm also assuming that this map is fir first game because I see no...
Just think of a siege battle of middenhiem. The city of the white wolf is warhammer's minas tirith
Not just the helmets either, where are the flamboyant mustaches?
Those are dragons of ulthuan, which are said to be more intelligent than other dragons in other areas. If you notice they were starting to describe dragons through different magical traits. In that...
As an introduction to warhammer, and as a good representation of the warhanmer world, (grim dark, with comedy) can't go wrong with gotrek and Felix.
To know more about the empire I would recommend...
Those goblin wold riders getting sent flying by cannon or helstorm rocket was pretty cool. Greatswords look like greatswords, but still could be better. Hard to tell but it like some of the boar...
Mostly what I would want to add is regiments of renown and dogs of war from warhammer lore. It's possible that the will eventually have these though. Perhaps some special characters not in-game , and...
To be fair in the warhammer army books, lords can be just a general. The system it seems they are using is from warhammer. You must have at least one "Lord" to lead your army. So don't expect some...
So it looks like you might have an option of equipping poleaxes instead of lances, like the tabletop.
8th edition warhammer artwork leans more to the fantastical than say 7th edition. Personally I think game look should be what warhammer is, different contrasting historical and fantasy elements all...
yes i would rather want to mod this game because it's great, than have to mod this game because it sucks.
when i think of Races i think Empire, Orcs, Vampire Counts, Dwarfs. Subfactions examples would be Reikland/ Karl Franz or Middenland/Boris Todbringer or for the dwarfs it would be Karaz...
right. I think all the mod tools for Medieval 2 were community developed. Medieval 2 was not fully moddable from day one. You could edit the txt files(scripts, edu, and such) but editing models or...
well, in the angry joe interview, the ca rep mentioned an "Estalian Empire". Now in lore Estalia is not an empire and he got the geography wrong too. but that that mentioned is something. Honestly I...
Yeah Joe interrupting was annoying. Also heard him say estalian kingdoms(or empire?), which is intriguing, if they are even talking about it, still have doubt's any of the minor fluff factions being...
Sounds like the leaping cav animations might be a thing, but did anyone notice how he mentioned that the first expansion mainly focuses on the old world? Different wording than what we have heard...
i agree, thyrus gormann is still the man in my opinion
in regards to the game, probably a hero
saw that picture but didn't put the two together, good find
2502 should definitely be the start date. much more material to work with, as far as characters and questlines.
for vampire counts: perhaps Walach Harkon at blood keep? (bit of a stretch i know,...
Kislev(bear with me, heh no pun intended) could be a possible dlc. Thought they don't have an army book of their own (officially) they are always always taking the brunt of destruction during a chaos...
For reikland/altdorf we have:
Karl Franz: (confirmed) the emperor and elector count of reikland/altdorf
Kurt helborg: Grand master of the reiksguard knightly order and supreme commander of the...
if all the fantastical elements are animated as good as it looks like the griffon is, it's a good start. though this looks like heavily scripted gameplay, perhaps flying units can land?
Surprised that all we got was a teaser. Was at least hoping to see the gameplay video shown to press. I think we will get more info fairly soon though
The units in that last scene look much better...
hey taro_m no mod support from developers, so it will be harder, but i doubt impossible.
also the development of this mod started before eight edition army book came out with demigryphs, luminark, and the hurricanum. those are fairly new additions to the warhammer world(relatively...
true enough. I can't remember the last time i played a fully vanilla m2tw campaign. maybe the kingdoms new world expansion.
yeah i agree, because there is so much depth that can be explored and expanded, you could do a unit mod with just reikland units, and don't even get me started on knightly orders.
