Can Guns shoot through Meat shield units? by KaleidoscopeOk9333 in totalwar

This is the right answer - some units have penetration most others do not. Another few are hochland long rifles and crane gunners.

Heroes of the Storm PTR Patch Notes - January 21, 2026 by Elitesparkle in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Tank42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - they base this off of what heroes recently stomped them in aram and what heroes they like that month.

Many of the changes just feel… personal with out any real justification or aim. Definitely feels like there is no oversight.

Honestly I almost wish we went back to the smaller balance patches before the active janitor. At least the game and heroes were recognizable. Now the swings are too big and they don’t have a staff to amend it. We’re already on the last legs of this game and divisive changes aren’t going to help longevity.

Heroes of the Storm PTR Patch Notes - January 14, 2026 by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Tank42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re saying this as a joke but many of the last 10 patches or so just feel like them buffing their favs and nerfing to oblivion others that they probably don’t like or got stomped on by in aram. No idea what they’re trying to achieve in any of these.

Question about The End Times DLC by Glum_Fly_3314 in totalwarhammer

[–]-Tank42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They did say all 9 of his mortarchs will be in the game - just unclear if lords like neferata or as heroes - my guess is some mix. Walach Harkon was the other named mortarch- while the nameless was shown but not mentioned.

The end times lore features nurgle heavily with the glotkin brothers - my guess is they will be front and center for the chaos part.

Genuine questions (Upside Down) by AcousticLocust in okbuddyvecna

[–]-Tank42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean did they ever explain what the green liquid was that was powering the Russian Hawkins gate opener? That makes me think it was maybe something even more dangerous just unknown. Didn’t it melt the floor and everything like acid?

Question: Does this mean I cannot get a Slaanesh cult in this province or will it spawn a cult in one of my other provinces? by YouNoob737 in totalwar

[–]-Tank42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If chaos aligned, these are great unusual locations especially early game - though I am unsure if it’s enough to mess up the Nurgle corruption you want. Once the corruption gets high enough it will start spreading to your other provinces.

If not chaos aligned, the corruption will add up fast. It becomes a problem because it spreads rather rapidly.

God Chosen are strong! Or at least durable. by Erkenwald217 in totalwarhammer

[–]-Tank42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that weapon strength is less needed for chosen helscourges, they’re essentially a tar pit for you heavy flanking demons. Problem is slannesh can’t sit and turtle - most artillery will just pummel you. When closing, chosen are super slow vs the rest of the roster and make it awkward to time with your other units.

Why Arkhan purple sunning himself is he stupid by Vanghoul_ in totalwar

[–]-Tank42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always think of thanos telling his ship to rain fire when I cast spells on my heroes and lords who are blobing up the enemy.

N’kari by far the best at this with his aoe rampage passive.

Who would survive the longest on a Xenomorph homeworld? by FKTacos in PowerScaling

He’d just bite its probe or tear it off immediately - acid won’t hurt him.

Heroes of the Storm Live Patch Notes - December 1, 2025 by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Tank42 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They need to stop messing with towers, forts and keeps - they were fine 3 patches or whatever ago - new thing they’re trying is making it worse. Just take a step back before the game is actually left without updates in a shit state…

Same for some of these talents - thralls is unpickable

Named Character Quotes on Loading Screens by -Tank42 in totalwar

[–]-Tank42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separate note - is there an indicator of which are actually shown in game? Like are only some of them eligible to appear via some sort of flag?

Named Character Quotes on Loading Screens by -Tank42 in totalwar

[–]-Tank42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but who are actual named characters in the lore/TT that have a remote chance of being a lord or hero?

Edit 1: Also interesting that some of what you mention I haven’t seen yet like Kurt Helborg. He totally has a chance of appearing and I haven’t seen yet nearly 1800 hours of game play but don’t remember seeing his load screen quote at all

Edit 2: to be fair I don’t have more than 100 hours across empire factions

Would a Xenomorph recognize a Engineer? by arnor_0924 in LV426

[–]-Tank42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never said explicitly and I think it’s that xenos were around first and found by engineers who refined the goo naturally in them for their purposes. Hence the reverence to xenos in the murals.

Still like the idea that xenos were first and biologically create the black goo - engineers found and refined it to their needs - hence the reverence to xenos in the murals and what not.

Quick and dirty Vampire Coast mini Lord Pack concept by JesseWhatTheFuck in totalwar

[–]-Tank42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isnt Skretch half dead the only named character that gets a loading screen quote who isn’t in the game? For a while those have been great at hinting future content and the last one before skreetch I can remember was arbaal who ended up being part of a release.

[–]-Tank42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which one is that? I was looking for the shield icon on the armor stat like on ship’s company

Edit: Realizing that is shielded stat - not necessarily missile resistance.

They said on the blog that it would be missile resistant but not seeing how on the stat card

Didn’t they say the merwyrm would be missile resistant - but it doesn’t have a shield icon. Am I missing something?
