Warhammer 3 Daemon Be'Lakor
Hi, guys, I'm Cesede, I realized that someone posted my fan art concepts of ogre kingdoms time ago,
I felt really proud about that so I 'd like to share with you my last illustrations about Be'Lakor
I'm expecting to play with him and destroy everything in front of me but until that moment I have to conform to draw him
Right now I've been working on new concepts and illustrations and now i'm looking for all information about possible unique units related to him
feel free to share with me anything

Rise and shine, mortals!
The Gods are NOT pleased about all this silence. Silence is for people without tongue...and Lord Slaanesh loves tongues, damn it! He loves every type of tongue (on his body- ehm, wut) .
And since summer is the season of Khorne (for real, check
don't check, i lied...like a good Tzeentch servant. Praise him
) and those filthy lizard-things...then we should get new, amazing and not-asinine, informations about the new upcoming LP, don't ya think? --- Now where are mah infos, CA?
Wood Elves eventual update
Last few weeks have made me really disillusioned with this forum, so I'm going to bow out, at least for a while.
Before I do that, however, I'd like to offer some ideas for devs if they ever decide to update Wood Elves and bring them to the level of most other game 1 races. Wood Elves, along with Beastmen and maybe Norsca to an extent really need some fresh blood injected into them.
1) AT LEAST ONE MORE LEGENDARY LORD
There are several choices there in my view:
- Ariel
Ariel would be my top choice, simply because she would offer something new and unique to the roster. In TT Ariel can fly, has terror, is level 4 wizard, offers AOE immunity to psychology and slows down enemies. She also has some other abilities that would probably be interpreted as physical resistance.
Now, flying in mind would not be particularly needed. She could be modeled on Sarth, with similar playstyle and animations, but having physical instead of magic and missile resistance - she is pretty much described as growing as tall as 2 men when in battle and having huge butterfly/moth wings. AOE ITP could be ignored, as it would encourage blobbing, but AOE slow aura could be interesting.
As level 4 wizard, she would probably have access to normal Arcane Conduit and bonus in the forest, and a mixed life/dark lore for casting
- Drycha
Yes, Drycha is a hero, although she is mentioned somewhere as a lord, iirc. That's not really an issue if it adds to gameplay. Kroak was a lord on TT, he's a hero in game.
Drycha would be my 2nd choice, since a Dryad lord option would be cool. Probably a beefier version of Branchwraith, with some cool new abilities. Would also be good for campaign play, as she could have a starting position outside Athel Loren.
She would probably be simplest to add to the game, as there's a working model with animations already in the game
- Twilight Sisters
I know they are very popular and many would make them top choice, but they're only 3rd choice for me, simply because their playstyle would be similar to Glady's. Also, the mechanic of having to kill both in short span of time otherwise they just come back to life would be a bit troublesome to do properly. Sure, it could be done, but I'd imagine devs wouldn't be willing/allowed to devote it enough resources to do it justice.
So, I'd rather have something that easier to do and offers something new, rather than a sidegrade.
2) SHADOWDANCER HERO:
Shadowdancer would be an interesting addition. Possibly two variants, one with BvI and the other with BvL. Modeled after Loremaster, Shadowdancer can cast spells from lore of shadows, but has no arcane conduit. Some abilities that would let him affect battle outside of pure melee would be needed as like Loremaster, Shadowdancers has no mount, has little HP but would also lack the 90 armour of Loremaster. High physical resistance, permanent stalk, some buffs or active AOE stalk or something that helps him be useful.
3) LORD LEVEL MAGES
That would not be a huge issue, I assume, as it is simply allowing current caster characters to be lords as well. Simply have a lord variant of Spellsingers called Spellweavers.
4) ADDITIONAL LORES OF MAGIC
In TT, Wood Elves would have access to a lot of lores, as Elves are most magically gifted race after Slanns and some Daemons. But, to keep it manageable and not create new abusive possibilities, I'd suggest adding just two: Lore of High and lore of Dark magic.
It would add more possibilites and reinvigorate the faction without offering some OP synergies, like lore of Light would be.
5) MELEE GLADE RIDERS
Lack of melee cavalry in medium price range is really noticeable. Wild Riders are 1100/1200 cavalry that obviously require a huge investment and can still be shut down effectively by more numerous cheaper cavalry units. They are also overkill against targets like hounds and similar stuff.
Something modeled on Dark Riders/Ellyrian Reavers but in 700 price range would indeed be a great addition to the roster.
6) MORE DANCES FOR WARDANCERS
On TT, Wardancers could choose out of 4 dances. Currently, only 2 are implemented. Giving each type of Wardancers one additional dance would make them more versatile.
Wardancers could get Whirling Death - gaining +AP for -MD.
Speardancers could get Storm of Blades - gaining +MA for -MD.
... and of course, last but not the least:
7) VANGUARD FOR FREAKIN' ORION!!!!
No explanation needed
It would be really nice if everything could be implemented from this list, but I'm sure at least something could be. Thanks for reading,
Have fun people and happy balancing!

Re: No more race pack? Well, Lord packs should have shorter release dates.
"Dear CA,
While I have no actual facts about the inner workings of your organization, your plans for future projects or the amount of resources at your disposal at the moment I'd like to take this moment to let you know that because of some assumptions I've made about your Lord Packs I am giving you a deadline.
While I've no idea what hours and resources go into a Lord Pack I am at least very certain it isn't more than 3 months. Don't get me wrong - I do NOT mean to rush you guys. I'm, instead, just asking for your future work to be done inside of 3 months no matter the work you may be doing on Warhammer 3 or some future IP that you've started producing in order to remain profitable.
Please adhere to my schedule. And finally I'd just like to add that the most recent Lord Pack didn't take me very long and thus I've had to go a few weeks without playing this game all day so... take that."

"The Venerable Adventures of Chief Toad": ep.1 - of new spawn and asiatic threats!
The Venerable adventures of Chief Toad:
---> What kind of new features 3K can bring to WH series...besides corrupting the not-so-blessed spawn, obviously
Re: Norsca Rework
Definitely disagree. They are one of the least in need of rework. Their campaign is fully functional, has unique elements, and feels unique to play as. Not saying they couldn't do with improvements, but needed the most? GS, Empire, and BM would like to dispute that.
Re: Lore question: Why do you hate the Endtimes ?
What you are talking about is "Storm of Chaos" that was the previous depiction of the "End Times", but at some point Games Workshop decided to destroy WH:FB forgetting SoC. That part was rewritten as the "End Times", in this new "ending" the world of WH:FB is destroyed and the Chaos win, and GW used this plot to launch another game called "Age of Sigmar" that is no more about a classic fantasy world, but about an hyperdimensional battle beetween gods with some kind of fantasy spacemarines.
This forum has Alzheimer's because it is sorted the wrong way
Ever noticed how interesting threads with many replies disappear from the first pages even though they are still getting new replies? This is because by default the forums are sorted by the first post in a thread instead of by last reply, meaning that new threads push older threads down even if the new threads have far fewer replies.
The forums force this behavior on everyone, because although you can manually sort 'by Hot' (which does what 'by New' should do, and does in about every other forum on the internet), the forum software forces the nonsensical default sorting back on you on every reload of the page. So if you continue posting in 'old' threads, it's pointless because almost nobody will see it.
I know why CA set the forums up this way, it makes whining threads and complaints disappear quickly, avoiding the build-up of massive negative threads that stay at the top for long and generate a general negative atmosphere which is bad for PR. But it also precludes any meaningful discourse about topics of enduring interest, like a discussion of the new campaign AI and balance. Evaluation of the new AI is something that takes weeks of playing, but if you want to discuss it, you basically have to open a new thread every 3 days because the old one got buried even though it was still active.
I wonder if we could get a separate "Strategy & Tactics" forum like most other game forums have, which is sorted by last reply? It would contain more serious discussions that can go on for weeks or months. It's very weird anyway that we do not have such a forum.

If you are experiencing issues with the Amethyst Wizard
First off, I'm sorry - we are experiencing technical difficulties that unfortunately cannot be easily resolved.
It's looking very likely that the issue of the wizard not showing up should resolve itself with time - however, I cannot 100% confirm that.
Unfortunately it's getting late in England and developers need sleep, so we have to go home - but rest assured we will be in extra early tomorrow morning and will be working on this ASAP if it has not resolved over night.
Apologies again - I hate that this has happened and if I could fix it right now (or two and a half hours ago) I would.
Try this if you are having issues:

Try this if you are having issues:
Click on Warhammer one. (If you have it installed launch the game)
Just wait for Steam to state it is allocating files. Then cancel. (You do not have to install the first game)
Restart Steam.
It fixes the problem!
