Re: I feel like CA introducing Khorne the way they did kinda took the wind out of their sail.
This is how every reveal works. One faction is the POV one and another needs to be whipped by necessity.
I think we need to tone down the idea that 20 minutes of footage somehow defines our entire emotional-thematic perception of a faction. Things'll change once you sit down with them and play.
This is marketing, nothing more.

Now don't get me wrong, I think the realm of Khorne looks gorgeous the models look fantastic, and the daemons vanishing into flames upon death was just... *kisses fingers*
Visually Khorne was incredible.
But the way the faction itself was introduced as Kislevs whipping boy feels almost... disrespectful. I know that this was just showing off a new mode and that the units had a quarter of their normal hp. But still when your first introduction to seeing a bloodthirster in action is it getting shot out of the sky in a few seconds. Feels bad man.
Khorne is THE big bad. He's the Chaos God closest to winning the great game. His forces are the most powerful. Its not an exaggeration to say Khorne is the final boss of Warhammer.
Seeing Bloodletters evaporating, Juggernauts with limp charges, Bloodthirsters who i almost feel bad for.
I think thematically its hard not to say the intimidation factor of Khorne was sacrificed to show off Kislev and the new survival mode.
Now ultimately none of this really matters and is at best nitpicky. I'm just curious if anyone else agrees.

Re: I'm pretty sure sieges are still gonna be terrible in WH3 and i think i know why.
They have a full siege rework coming - lets wait and see it before we judge...
Re: Belakor has already been mentioned
playing through a chaos campaign right now. and in one of archaon's quest battles (the crown of domination) he mentions that he wants to be/ will be coronated by Belakor...Every Everchosen since Be'lakor will be crowned by Be'lakor. That is his curse. So no, that mentioned for Archaon is nothing special.
it's looking pretty promising we'll see him

How CA drops content so quit whining
This is how CA did content drops for both games in this order:
1.) Cinematic Announce Trailer
2.) Faction Trailer
3.) Quest Battle
4.) Another Faction Trailer
5.) Regular Battle
6.) Another Faction Trailer
7.) Campaign Map
8.) Battle
9.) Another Faction Trailer
10.) Siege
There are going to be more faction trailers for TWW3 since it is 6 races at launch but this is the general outline.
So stop whining about "Why didn't they do siege battles first?" or other stupid complaints.
Have some patience.

Re: CA about Little Grom
Suck it, Empire. This is how real men hold back Chaos.
There is no Little Grom drama.
This is only a fake Reddit drama that don't belong here. The original situation was a post on Reddit having legitimate criticism of the unit and then people started to complain about other people complaining about the unit. The whole situation is a non-drama.
Most criticism I have seen is:
- the unit being goofy and not fitting and not fitting the more "grounded" design of Kislev overall
- Some people not liking the Ice effect
- People disliking the Bears
And that's it. You can disagree with these critics but it isn't a reason to start calling people names just because you don't agree with their criticism. It is a valid criticism and that's okay to disagree with it, different people have different opinions. To stop fueling this fake outrage y'all should stop calling other people names or just shut up. This is getting absolutely ridiculous right now and I have seen far more people complaining about people disliking the unit than people actually criticising the unit.
