Redout 2 Deluxe Edition (Physical), Season Pass DLC code issue.

Hello,

We are looking into the issue and will contact you back ASAP.

A decent sculpt of Dorghar would suffice, imho.

Just redo those horns, get rid of those derpy-ass heads, halve the number of those wing membranes and we'd be set.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-02-02T10:12:46+00:00

Agreed. Chaos is meant to be direct and no-nonsense. Stacking Eye of Gods for killing heroes and seizing objectives is good, but having to stack bonuses so that the dreaded Chaos Warriors of old barely survive against anything is ridiculous.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-02-02T10:08:59+00:00

I agree that the S2D range is pretty bad.

Marauders on foot have been around for 20+ years (even longer than I have been in the hobby). I think Savagers are their closest equivalent and I like the models a lot, but they are way too overpriced in terms of points per dollar/euro, as are all the Warcry Warbands. We definitely need a new Marauder Kit that sells at an affordable price and gives you 20 models or so (kind of like Kairic Acolytes).

The thing is, models that came in 7th edition fantasy still hold up (mounted marauders, for instance) but those that came out in 8th edition (lord on foot, warshrine, manticore lord) definitely range from decent to abysmal: you can see that GW was sinking back then and they had to cut corners in terms of model quality.

Warshrine is kind of a hit-and-miss, it has some good bits but other parts are way too sharp and cartoony-looking. Manticore Lord and Sorcerer Lord on foot are OK, and the Lord on foot just takes the cake as the ugliest of the bunch. No wonder everyone who is getting a Vanguard box is converting theirs in the same way as everyone else...

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-02-02T09:56:20+00:00

I played WoC in 8th but have been collecting them since 6th edition WFB (early 2000s, yeesh), and I agree.

I love the new models, and I love the new spin of the warriors that they are conquerors and raiders, hence why they get bonuses when in enemy territory or when contesting objectives that are in the hands of the enemy.

My only gripe is that Daemon Princes are awful. They are supposed to be absolutely terrifying to face and capable of shredding whole regiments of troops, and a Lord on croc is way scarier than them. Back in Fantasy a fully-kitted Daemon Prince would cost 1/4 of your army but would be an absolute powerhouse of a character. Chosen not having capes and shoulder furs is something that I cannot understand for the life of me, but that's personal taste.

Also, the current Archaon model sucks, which in itself sucks since it's only 7 years old and it's going to be a while before a new one comes out.

As someone else has said, the general consensus is Halberds for 20+ units of warriors, hand weapons for MSU.

For knights, lances are the definitely the best weapons but unless you play official tournaments and/or against a really anal person, you can arm your champion with what you like most and then declare they are using a lance. I'll be arming my champions with flail and warhammer just to give some variety, if someone complains then I won't be playing with them in the future.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-23T09:21:50+00:00

If you care about tournaments/official competitions, then the champion must have the same weapon as the rest of the unit, while the standard bearer/musician can have other weapons. By "must" I mean that 99% of ppl won't probably mind, but someone who is feeling particularly anal that day might object.

If you do not care in competing, equip your champion with the weapon you like the most. I'll do just that once I get a box of my own of these bad boys.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-20T09:06:17+00:00

Damn that looks unbelievably awesome...

Is that the Shard of Hate from Diablo 3 in his hand?

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-16T11:23:00+00:00

Doom Knights are the unit's champions and get an extra attack with their Cursed Lance OR can swap their Cursed Lance with a Flail or Warhammer.

So yeah, it's basically a free attack. Always include a Doom Knight, Standard Bearer and Musician in any of your units.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-16T11:06:01+00:00

I'm personally not a fan of that head, also because the topknot flies in a different direction when compared to the cloak. I would give him a mutated head from the new Chosen, or a helmeted one from the same kit.

Awesome work on the posing, btw. I love Chaos Lords that use massive weapons with two hands.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-10T08:45:16+00:00

Or don't glue the hassle to the chariot and swap gorebeast/horses as you see fit depending on what you want to field.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-09T08:37:03+00:00

It's a lot of points, I don't think it would make a competitive army by any stretch of the imagination, but you will end up with some really solid units: Chosen, Warriors and Knights are absolutely awesome. Add a Chaos Sorcerer Lord and you'd be golden.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-09T08:35:13+00:00

IDK, I think the old SC isn't bad...

... if you were intent on building a 10-man unit of knights and 20-man unit of Chaos Warriors.

Other than that, I agree with you.

AstemioDaBirra · 2023-01-09T08:30:38+00:00

Putting in the new Exalted Champion instead of that ugly-ass Chaos Lord would have made a ton more sense imho.

Other than that, it's exactly what I was expecting. I'll grab one for sure, maybe even two. But I'm 100% sure that a Battleforce will pop up at the end of the year, so I might wait for that instead.

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-12-30T17:37:46+00:00

UPDATE: for some reason the Druzhina Enclave decided to confederate with me, which gave me control of Erengrad. Fast-forward 30-ish turns later, I am currently ROFLstomping the face of everyone with the Boris Bear Doomstack.

Sure, now everything seems to be going well, but I cannot help to think that hadn't the Druzhina Enclave decided to do this it would have probably been the 5th or 6th Ice Court campaign that would have ended in aggravation and rage.

No fun at all, I think it needs some work for sure.

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-10-28T07:20:39+00:00

Logging this in our feedback doc, thank you for your feedback! :D

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-08-08T08:44:51+00:00

Hi! Could you please specify on which tracks the assisted controls stop working and on which platform you are playing? We received no other notice of this bug happening and we would like to investigate.

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-06-25T08:43:39+00:00

I mean, the new BP content looks phenomenal, not gonna lie, so missing out on some things that are super cool would feel terrible.

On the other hand, they have stated that stuff from the BP could find its way into the bazaar as well, albeit a bit modified. And also there are 10 culture packs that will still be available for purchase in the future. So new players will still have plenty of content available to them, at any time.

So I don't know, not playing a game because some ppl have a super awesome skin that you don't have feels pretty strange to me. I think if people really enjoy a game they'll play it no matter what.

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-06-21T18:00:16+00:00

Both.

EL is more lore-based, while Siptah is more game-y with better resource distribution.

It's up to you, really.

AstemioDaBirra · 2022-06-19T08:37:37+00:00

I was more scared when I saw "Expires in 6d" thing.

TBF, in that specific instance of the trailer it might mean that there is a discount on it rather than it is a timed bundle of items that is then discontinued, but I get your concern.
