Thrones of Decay Multiplayer Testing & Analysis - Total War Warhammer 3 Multiplayer

Battles start at 2:25:10

It says its a "Goblin Hewer" It never specifies which one. Clearly it was made to kill specifically Grom the Paunch.

The Goblin Hewer seems to suffer the same curse as all the other things Malakai has namned. He namned a ship ”Unsinkable” which sunk. An airship ”Undestructable” which got destroyed and now he has the Goblin Hewer which excels against large targets…

Come, Mr Tally man, tally my deseases!

On my YouTube homepage the visible title was "Multiplayer Anal" with the rest of the letters obscured by the time stamp. I thought it meant the video was mostly Slaanesh, with maybe a little Morathi for variety...

Please CA keep this level of quality for the rest of your DLC's, Empire and Dwarfs feel like really scary factions now.

Sad to hear that toad dragons are in fact turd dragons but I'm still more hyped about this DLC than I've been for a long time.

Theres is going to be a lot of Grudges getting settled with this DLC.

Hey turin, here is a little tip you might find helpful when you are unit testing. If you don't want the enemy lord to get involved in the fight give them a flying lord and use your flying units to keep them off the ground while you test the units on the ground.

I have the Goblinhewer tabletop model for 7th edition Warhammer Fantasy. If I recall correctly it did 1d6 S4 attack per rank of the target. So it was definitely anti-infantry. I also have some Doomseeker models from my 7th edition army. Great models.

Hey Turin. Just a thought for domination against factions that do not excel in ranged. Tamurkan on foot, Chaos War Shrine/Hero on one, one Bile Troll and one marauder on a point. Second point, whatever works for you to hold. Marauders have substantial more models and will burst up the passive on the shrine when dying. Tamurkan will chunk anything big, shrine will stream of corruption all Infantry. The trolls are generalists so they are ready for all. They will regenerate from the beginning, until the shrine scales up. Plus the mele def aoe will get more casualties for the shrine. When reinforcing, you got nurglings and Pestigors from vanguard. Nurglings usually die off but they have like 45 models on ultra or something like that, so the regen on them works incredibly well. Also the problem with them getting bursted and then gettin disintegrated won't work since the leadership is now so high thanks to the shrine buff. Pestigors got high hp per model but you would bring them in for ap, cap weight and the spread of tears. And at the end of this, if the Trolls are still there, now the leadership buff from the shrine, along with the stacked regen will make them almost impossible to uproot. Conclusion. You hold 2 points. You prosper. LET THE NURGLINGS FEAST!!!!

Correction with the directional missile block attribute. It only counts for the base missile block chance. I.e. if you have 70% block chance from the gold shield in the armour stat bar, it will be 100% of that 70%

Some big questions that weren't answered during the stream: do Tears of Nurgle from Pestigors spread to non-fleeing units after they're triggered by a fleeing unit? This is important because Tears of Nurgle is going to build up the army ability, which makes Pestigors better than they already are, and draining the entire front line of vigour is also very big. Does Alith Anar's artillery bow ignore the missile block chance of the Steam Tank? I'd asked in a super chat but it was unfortunately missed. As far as I'm aware, Alith Anar has the only unblockable bow in the game, it ignores shields entirely, it gains a damage to war machines such as chariots (unless they patched it out since I last looked), and I was curious if the Steam Tank could block his otherwise unblockable bow. Does Shieldbreaker lower the tank's missile block chance? Does Elspeth's laser make good contact on flying wyverns/manticores? They're probably going to be used a lot against her. How well do Dwarf Doomseekers hold up against Death Runners? Those are still a problem for the Dwarfs and it would be nice if they had one unit to scare them away. Does the Wonder of the Age have Terror? Regular Land Ships don't, but in the first land battle game it looked like it Terror routed the Marauder Horsemen. My only real complaints are that I really don't like what they did with Brimstone guns, those new ones are just terrible, though Pestigors do have scaly skin (missile resist) so hopefully their damage is better than it really looks. It also feels weird seeing the Goblin Hewer work on SEM's since the tabletop version is very definitely anti-infantry, but I guess this one does that job just fine. For whatever reason it looked like the Outriders did less damage than War Wagons, maybe it was the angle or shooting the edge of the formation. I am glad the Rotbeasts don't just dunk on Skullcrushers. The Skullcrushers crushed them on the tabletop, however Rotbeasts cost less, so they made up for it that way.

You are much appreciated good sir!

So interesting. Thanks for doing this. Lots of cool changes

Video was amazing as ever man. Certainly will be coming back to WH3 once the patch hits.

I sort of like the Thunderbarge being a world destroyer but leaving you with only a small supporting force giving the opponent the option of killing everything else and having it rout off the field. In land battle they can spread out, surround and kill all the land units. In Domination they can capture all the points and ignore it (pretty much like all Dwarf lords. The only issues I see are the cost (up it to 5k) and the speed boost being spammable. If the Dwarfs no longer can play both tall and wide it should help balance it for mp.

I cant wait to finally get my VH achi on dwarfs. The rework and new units look like so much fun.

wow, we need more such analytic videos. Maybe monthly videos about current meta, new builds etc

As a drawf player I’m so ready for this expansion. May the thunder barge bring death to those with grudges!!
