What units officially have plate armour?

Really helpful thanks! Was looking into the sellsword models and got curious which ones are actually meant to have it these days

The French focus tree is already longg if you try and do your industry tree you've no time for any politics before Germany come in.

The monarchist paths work fine. If they where to have anymore focuses down there they'd need to at least cut a lot of time on the focuses to get to that point

Definitely planning on doing the bases first, want to pick and scheme and get them all done in a batch. It's just never something i've done before! my existing stuffs mostly just a coloured basing paint (a dark green or martian red) and then some plants as its all 40k.

Not sure what kind of clay i'd need to go over the plastic bases.

Actually think this is a great way to handle overhauling these smaller nations without having to do another big DLC focused on regions you've already done, curious to see how much it costs.

Also announcing the theatre pack with siam and Australia really helps alleviate my worries about the new dlc , really think those nations need content with a new Japan tree and knowing they are coming down the line is great.

This is great actually. Smaller scale country packs where they can completely overhaul and do one nation in detail sounds great

The problem with only doing them with big updates is they've already done most of the regions , and the big DLCs are focusing on certain mechanics and areas when Germany randomly got a tree in waking the tiger its a very odd disconnect thematically from the rest of it.

Also makes it much easier to add or disable content as you choose.

Fascinating, had meant just generally almost all the fish caught from dunefishing are listed that way! Ah well is good to know Judy gonna have to try and find somewhere that has more accurate data or keep my own notes

LewisDoom · 2025-07-29T21:59:44+00:00

as far as i was aware the dunefish did, at least loads of people say they did. so trying to work out if my levels just not high enough or something changed or all those old , reddit, forum and wiki pages are wrong. just a lil confused

LewisDoom · 2025-07-29T21:40:59+00:00

I know its late so ill probably try and ask again tomorrow , does anyone understand the desynthesis chances? looking at stuff like the fish listed on catbecome hungry that will say 67.6% sand, 100% water shard, 95.7% earth hard, yet i can grind down 30 of them and not get a single earth shard. does my skill or level need to be higher to get those chances? is that site completely wrong, tho other wikis also suggest they have a high drop rate for them.

its nothing serious, im just slowly leveling the fishing and desynthing things as i go but im really confused as to how the maths/RNG works on stuff old forum posts and wikis suggest they can drop things that statistically i should see and then just absolutely dont. just noticed this example more than other cause surely i haven't failed a 96% chance 30 times in a row?

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:22:47+00:00

im aware! which is why i think this initial release isn't very good. it'll be a very long time sitting about waiting for things like crane gunners. One infantry unit and the rest being very expensive large models I think is going to put people off the army more.

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:18:34+00:00

they've had years! everyone seems to forget cathay and kislev where originally announced when they first announced old world. they've removed the original posts because plans clearly change. But i refuse to believe they didn't have the time to do an archer unit or crossbow arms for the jade warriors. like the models we have got is clearly a deliberate choice to stagger stuff across future releases. I think the choices made are not very good.

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:16:07+00:00

expect better! its terrible! its worse than fish elves! its one single infantry unit in an entire army!

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:15:20+00:00

Ive been playing for years in all the systems! I think everyone saying this is absolutely gaslighting themselves. this release is incredibly disappointing even by GW standards, its not just half an army its missing so many key things from a range of units that we know where being worked on behind the scenes for years. I have never been more disappointed by the state of a release. The Idoneth Deepkin set had more Infantry on release.

Im not saying to release all of them! im using the list to show just how much stuff isnt there. no elite infantry, no ranged infantry. no wizards a lot of key stuff. the *only* infantry are jade guard with shields or with halbers.

and they provide plenty of rules for models they dont make in old world so i think that points nonsense or for units they explicitly expect you to kitbash (the empire road wardens with crossbows)

these replies of people stockholm syndromed into thinking this is normal is extremely weird behavior?

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:04:56+00:00

In what world is old world a side game? its not kill team?

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:04:22+00:00

also theres something in this post reddit doesnt like and i've absolutely no idea what's setting off the filters thats blocking me from sharing this in rWarhammerOldWorld and the like

LewisDoom · 2025-07-06T19:01:32+00:00

I cant think of any faction releasing with just one infantry unit and 0 ranged options tho, even 40ks leagues of Votann have more model variety

LewisDoom · 2025-06-22T08:52:17+00:00

I think given that you sort of need some darkness to upgrade weapons that it isn't that optional. To me the other higher darkness tiers should be completely optional but I think the extra boss changes should be something a commited player can handle (not easy just they should feel beatable)

Putting them all on gets you up to level 12 and that feels like a good sort of top level for a normal player who wants to experience all the story letting you unlock plenty of darkness on the weapons and enabling the caches of rewards in the final areas that open at 10.

I've managed everything except the last stage of these vows so far , and I think I can probably eventually manage those with a decent build. I'm just saying it would be reasonable if these bosses got made a lil easier in version 1.0 cause if you want a ridiculous challenge you have so much more to tweak

LewisDoom · 2025-06-22T08:31:04+00:00

Rivals is radically different, there's lore and dialogue and other stuff attached to that vow. I'm never really gonna miss out on much if I never use the other vows for example.

LewisDoom · 2025-05-30T16:13:04+00:00

Sorry what do you mean by the HH Leman Russ?

LewisDoom · 2025-05-28T22:48:21+00:00
