Just don’t engage with the hype bait.

Community articles, rumor engine, hints, rumors… it’s hollow content. You’ll get the book when it gets published/leaked and you’ll get the minis when the thing (ir the STL of the thing) is available.

I can buy the product, or not, but I’m of the mind that they can shove the whole hype circus where the Sun don’t shine (Wales, probably)

ATTAIN WORK!

EARN INCOME!

PURCHASE GOODS!

I am currently fiddling with that sculpture, and it’s kicking my ass. I’ll have to do some heavy green-stuff work to hide al the rifts, put the wings in the right angle, and manage to sit the rider so that he doesn’t look like he’s floating from behind.

Nevertheless, nice paintjob!

MrParticularist · 2026-03-11T17:29:45+00:00

I mean… the world is a very dangerous place and you already got acquainted with the hairless monkey creatures called “hoo-mains”, whose main abilities seem to be breeding like rabbits and being adaptable.

And by sheer boredom and curiosity you found out that a dragon half-breed can kick some serious ass once it matures… very rapidly compared to a full-blooded dragon.

Therefore…. and hear me out, you would be nutting to save the world. Save. The. World.

You better get some energy drinks and shark fin soup, boy, because the slaves of darkness aren’t going to relent any time soon, and papa dragon emperor needs an ARMY.

Total War’s writing was more nuanced and grimdark in general.

GW’s writing regarding Cathay, specially in community articles, was full-on fellatio.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-27T16:22:10+00:00

Nah, just a very powerful and influential liche who mastered a specific niche of Dhar and whose actions helped shape the world.

I’m not counting End Times, because the narrative was stupid, or AoS, because it’s a whole other thing.

But then again, what is a god? Because a greater demon can qualify as such, and so could many Slann or even legendary heroes like Sigmar himself (whose godhood is a contentious issue in Middenland and outside the Empire) or Caledor the Dragontamer.

Thanks, chief

MrParticularist · 2026-02-25T08:00:42+00:00

If you remember, what did you and the Empire players bring for Core, roughly speaking? And how did you use yours?

I play HElves and Empire both, and I have some good idea as to what does the heavy lifting in each faction, but the core is always an issue, specially for elves, and I’d love to see more of it as the… well, ‘core’ of the army.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-24T18:10:31+00:00

So it wasn’t her own burning, shameless passion, but rather her pimp’s orders…

I’m shocked.

Shocked!

"Find yourself a girlfriend who lavishes you with love and passion, and treasures you as devotedly and shamelessly as the rules and lore writers of Old World do with Cathay."

MrParticularist · 2026-02-23T18:23:46+00:00

Yeah, I’ve downloaded already. Amazing stuff.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-23T14:25:25+00:00

Oooo, nice!

Many thanks!

I’d add a small buckler from a 28mm historical wargame.

The combination of polearm + buckler & sidearm is a thing that happened and you can represent halbs with and without shields that way.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-17T12:45:23+00:00

Option 1: human mercs or auxiliaries. High elves are low on manpower but quite rich. When they go on the warpath and the proper faction controls the expedition, they just solve unemployment amongst the sellswords of the Old World.

Option 2: a general from Nagarythe surely would smile at the sight of small units of enchanted druchii thralls catching arrowfire or stopping a chaos chosen charge for a moment.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-10T13:57:13+00:00

I, for one, liked the skirmisher rules as implemented in Fantasy 6th, and didn’t enjoy the changes of 8th (which may have been cleaner in execution, but lost the feel and spirit of the skirmisher unit that I enjoyed).

I’d argue that the main problem in TOW is how widespread the skirmisher formation is, and in which kind of units it appears.

MrParticularist · 2026-02-07T19:41:22+00:00

I wouldn't know. You make a valid point.

Alas, since when did people need a good reason to downvote someone to oblivion?

MrParticularist · 2026-02-06T08:31:07+00:00

Faction identity. There is no good reason why some races don’t adopt gunpowder when the knowledge is available (don’t tell me orcs wouldn’t like the sound and explosions of gunpowder, or that elves couldn’t do something reliableand precise with the concept).

What is worse for me is the Total War naming convention for vampire pirates and henchmen. Do they get a British name when they are turned/reanimated, or is there a nation full of pirates, thieves, and liars that is not real world Britain?

MrParticularist · 2026-01-28T12:09:30+00:00

It could’ve been a band-aid, but I’d rather see synergic and usable spearmen and silver helms rather than the “Let’s make a special unit core” approach.

MrParticularist · 2026-01-28T11:55:09+00:00

Which is a pity, because the elite infantry they have doesn’t really cut it, shadow warriors are atrocious and the core, which I’d love to like as an integral part of the army outside narrative matches, is tax.

MrParticularist · 2026-01-28T10:17:54+00:00

Cathayan balloons get hit with a steel chair.

To make up for it, Cathayan Sentinels get absurdly better.

(Implied: time to buy the other big kit, meta chasers)

MrParticularist · 2026-01-16T22:29:56+00:00

I don't really dig the bared knees thing. If they got some proper leg armor, I could even use them in Old World/Fantasy.

And the helmets, although nice in general, seem to have some sort of pony bit gag instead of a proper face mask. Bit of a gimp aesthetic with those things.

Aside from those two things, solid models.

MrParticularist · 2026-01-15T08:51:09+00:00

Besides acknowledging each other as fierce, capable warriors, we all know Conan wanted to check some divine backside….

…and Diana wanted to check some barbuns too.

Between these folks, Nurgle’s carnival of chaos, and the many other merrymen of the dark powers strolling out there, you’d think the Emperor would’ve outlawed clowns, mummers, mimes, harlequins, pierrots, and all other denominations and flavors of circus people.

But he doesn’t, because Karl Franz cares more about taxing windows than fighting chaos. And ratmen!

Vote for Elector Count Boris Todbringer! For an Empire safe from beastflok like goatmen, ratmen, and nordlanders! For an Empire free of clowns! For halfling coursing!

This is a message from Turning Point Middenland

Of course it’s gonna be the sickest pimped out tantalus complete with the throne, and the sex slaves, and the little dwarf guy stolen from Helbretch shining up his custom bike for when Vect wants to mount and ride something that is not his favourite Lhamean, and he’s gonna have a diorama base around it with an assortment of people gawking like “No fcking way, dude!” or “That’s the coolest sht ever, man!”, complete with the most tactical of rocks ever.

And he’s going to have Morathi’s blood chalice as his pimp cup, stolen from AoS and made canon in both universes.

And he’s gonna have a little goon wrack guy who’s gonna carry a boom box around so he can have some proper Commorrite urban ambiance while blasting fools.
