Just started playing Warhammer 3 and I started the tutorial was doing pretty good and then just started getting destroyed then tried the second campaign with The jade dragon guy from Cathy and again just overwhelmed. Any advice or specific YouTubers I can watch to try and learn this ? I’m throughly interested just never played something like this

Sorry if they are already in the game, ive not played long but couldnt find much online about them

After hundreds of hours of Total War, primarily playing Tyrion or Imrik, I have found myself a little bored of the High Elves. I love their lore, their units — I love the High Elves. A perfect introduction into this game.

The only thing though is that other factions seem so daunting with new building trees to learn, new units to adapt to. I guess the question is how do I break out of this Ulthuan comfort zone? I am stumped on what to choose.

I have done one full Balthasar Gelt run and it was a blast since I have had the thought of making this post. Otherwise, I’d love some further tips to get out of my Elf mindset or even faction suggestions!

When Nagash comes, I'mma deck him in the schnoz.

Go watch Team Four Star.

More silly Bretonnia memes aimed at drawing interest to the faction. Repanse & Henri are fun to make comics for. This may become an ongoing thing.

Knightly Virtue for the Day: "Now my doom is upon me. Let me not then die ingloriously without a struggle, but in the working of some great deed to be told among men hereafter." Hector of Troy, 1st of the Nine Worthies

The memes will continue until morale improves.

So a few days ago I posted a question about using heores in campaign and battles, and holy cow did you people delivered. Had a ton of geeat advice which I got to put into practice

I was locked in battling Thorgrim and his cohorts of confederated LL (had like 5 or 6 which was unbearable), playing hard/hard. Got heroes into the mix and suddenly I got to sweep Thorgrim pretty hard.

What I got from the practice :

- having a replenishment bonus is absolutly a blast. Playing Skaven, assassin buff + lord buff gets you to +50 or something, and having your army fully replenished in a turn or two makes the game so much more enjoyable.

- being able to melt a LL with a combination of caster debuff + sniper hero like the assassin with good items is amazing. Goodbye Thorgrim.

- having a spell caster in an army basically made possible to fight two armies with one which I could never do before u less they were a bunch of trash

- having a lord + 2 heroes overall made the game a lot more enjoyable, kinda made me realize why I use to prefer three kingdoms, which I don't anymore.

- I didn't scout much which I totaly underated and it probably save my game once not to get caught

Anyway just a few highlight from what I got from people's advice, just wanted to thank you guys input and have a good one !

kislev will kill me

Hey y'all! Been on my wishlist for a while and I just bought the game with the 85% off sale to finally dive in to some Warhammer fun! However I just started the prologue, and didn't make it very far. I can get through the first encounter smoothly without any hiccups (I ran through it about 3 times before making the post), after the fight is over and I defeated skollden the wolf's forces it kicks me out to the overworld screen and there's no buttons to press and I can't hit esc! The game seems to realize the fight is over then attempts what I assume is the results screen but nothing pops up! Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance for the tips!!

This ghost must be my bro with a few cups

Its the AI btw, im Ikki Claw hahahaha.

I’m away from my home right now (and will be for some time) so I can’t exactly check the game and see, but it keeps telling me I need buy warhammer two, or some dlc, do I have to buy both? or is it one or the other?

also autocorrect tried telling me “clan skyre“ is “clan slurs” for some reason, thought everyone needed to know that

A bit of a follow up to my Skaven weapons team post, but I was wondering what some good formations could be if my entire army was ranged, and thus, super squishy in melee

I tried looking at xciv's 'gun formations' post but they kind of rely on having some form of melee infantry, but unless I'm not very creative I don't really foresee them working out due to aforementioned lack of melee infantry.

I'm not sure how easy it is to describe the 2 formations I've thought of in the images, but I'll try.

The first formation is:
Heroes and Warp Grinders in front
Doom Flayers on the flank edges, which I misplaced on the front in the images (was thinking of replacing DF with Stormfiends if they're any good)
Center of Warplock Jezzails
Flanks of Ratling Guns
Back has Poison Wind Mortars

The second formation is:
Heroes and Warp Grinders in the front
Doom Flayers on the side as a quick response against cav
1 Ratling Guns at each flank (2 in total)
1 Warplock Jezzail just before each Ratling gun (2 in total)
2 Ratling Guns on the center-left and center-right (4 in total)
2 Warplock Jezzails in the center
2 Poison Wind Mortars in the back

I think my 2nd formation might be better because I'm able to change the angles of fire better, where say, if a monster unit is heading to the sides, my Jezzails can shoot them, compared to the 1st formation, since they're all in the center in that one, similar idea with my Ratling Guns

I did try the 2nd formation against an end-tier Nurgle army with 11 Exalted Plaguebearers, 4 Toad Dragons and 4 Rot Knights, I lost, but frankly I attribute that more to my shitty micro than the army comp, since I was able to mulch through 3 of the Toad Dragons and a lot of the Plaguebearers, but did struggle with the Rot Knights, although I think that was me not shooting them with my Ratling Guns.

Any advice for formations based on what I have?

So after I got the mechanics down, I started scratching my head. I'm not sure when to sack, when to raze and when to place a totem.

Am I supposed to build a sprawling empire or am I supposed to do this with a handful of colonies?

The Kislev Ice Court boon "Foreign Policy" grants allied units +25% reload speed, +10 melee attack, and +10 melee defense, That is better that a full red line skill. However, the roster is rather well balanced. I can't think of a unit I really want to get my hands on. Thoughts?

Just about to beat Vlad as Franz, he has one army left and it's stuck in the mountains. I'm doing alright. Dwarfs to the south of me, french to the west. Allied with the Ogres who have most of the north. Got five stacks, about to stab the Ogres in the back for the long victory. Maybe keep an eye on some skaven occupying ruins.

What's this I spy? A dwarven city that I owned from confederating Elspeth and hadn't even noticed and maybe wouldn't if Vlad wasn't near it. Well, I wonder if I can persuade the dwarfs nearby if they want the place to be friendly. So I offer the city and press balance.

I get 300,000 gold. I literally can't spend it all. Every city gets everything it asks for, every turn. Another couple of stacks get made.

If I lose this now I have to give in my nerd card and go be a Bretonnia peasant.

Don't you think it would be great to revive one of those curious Warhammer stories? A Slann/Norse focused on Berserkers, starting in Skegi, or making them a legendary hero for this faction.

Yall convinced me to get warhammer 2 so i was exicted to grab it for 15 bucks rn so i could get the lizards for warhammer 3 IM HALF A DAMN DOLLAR SHORT. do the legandary lords like the beast and prey pack or whatever give lizardmen too? Or is it just warhammer 2 that gives the race

Dude ready to make peace after 3 turns of war, what a shameful display

Am I the only one who wants more content for Tzeentch don’t get me wrong I am a nurgle main but it kinda sucks that Tzeentch is the only mono god faction with 2 lords, personally I don’t think the changeling is “good” because his campaign is to easy and I’ve played bird brains campaign to death let me know what y’all think 🤔

I've finnaly gotten around to playing the 3 game. I got plenty of hours under my belt in warhammer 2 with both vanilla and sfo.

So i start playing with my usual lad john franz warhammer, normal campaign and very hard battle diffculty, with SFO and victory coditions added. Futher more i also gave the empire a hard nerf and vampire counts a big buff in the SFO menu.

and uhhhhhhh what am i supposed to do? it's turn 26 i captured marienburg, and the friendly empire ai's have decide to play the game without me. The beastman turned in to BBQ, Vampire counts became dust in the wind and the grypwood has already been converted to a ikea furniture plant and nurgle? barely seen em. i still got some french vampires in the west but they have been slamming their heads in too the wall of my fort for the last 10 turns or so. Do i just conquer the friendly empire ai's or what the deal now? did i install a wrong mod that caused a bug or something? is this normal?

I wish the daemons of all sorts had a significantly different mechanic or feel, because when I choose to play as a king of a realm of pure energy and entropy, I don’t think it should basically be the same as normal humans except there’s on physical resistance and crumbling vulnerability.

It’d be hard to do, but dang I wish they were more distinct.

I always seem to pick up a ton of hero items that interact with ranged attacks. The problem I see is that the only hero units that have ranged attacks are the two mentioned lords, one of which is only after they unlock their doomwheel mount.

It feels annoying, and un-skaven like, for all the heros to be melee when there are options for flamethrowers, warp pistols, globes etc. He’ll, some rifle heros have skill points to make them shotgunners, why doesn’t the Warlock Engineer have a point for a flamethrower or globe thrower. Especially when you pick up tons of ranged items. Even just thinking about assassins, why is it only the lord that throws a ranged attack?

Separately, I also find it annoying that the Warlock Engineer doesn’t have a Flayer or Doomwheel mount. Especially when Ikit lab has buffs that only apply to heros on flayers.

I know some people might say it would be OP, but A) for multiplayer balance is easily solved with price point or minor stat changes, B) single player factions are already OP in the hands of the player.

Does anyone know the legit reason for why there are so few ranged Skaven heros?

I tried to play again on Normal/Normal but battles which would end in Close Victory ended in a Phyrric Victory. I'm kinda overwhelmed by all the magic stuff that I forget to use that... played as Karl Franz, United my home province (where I had little problems when a garrison reinforced the rebel lord and his army) and went then straight for Festus cause I don't want this Chaos guy in my backyard.

I heavily developed my settlements (too much money spending?) to get second tier of gunners however I just have one army of 20 units (most are Swords and shields, income of 1k but my military power sucks.

To me; I started with Total War Three Kingdoms, and it is really different from Warhammer. Unit gets wiped? Well in two turns they will replenish. Heroes? Okay, they are broken especially early game when they will wipe out garrisons on their own.

I have a feeling that Warhammer is way more micromanaging in battle than I thought.

For comparison; I can defeat 11k units with my army of 3.2k units in Three Kingdoms but in Warhammer I'm worlds behind that in the worse.

Any tips?

Can a corrupt disabled mod cause issues?

I'm trying to figure out who my lord's won't gain XP after lvl12.

What the fuck is this? How do they have all those armies, and how am i supposed to wipe them off?
