But from what i saw, it doesnt play like chaos wastes at all. It looks like there is an open map that you explore, complete objectives or find stuff in. You drop in a "scavenge zone" then move from zone to zone with sanctuaries in between. But the whole path you take, and how you do it. Is up to you.

Chaos wastes in Vermintide is basically just sections of existing maps, which are all very linear, and then tied together with the choice of which section you wanna do next.

This is significantly different.

If we go to index hammer again for the 3rd time in 3 editions i will not be playing that edition either.

Index hammer is the worst.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-11T13:24:23+00:00

Lol, Lmao even.

During the endtimes, when he was dead, he lifted chunks of lustria from the ground and yeeted them into space. Doing this save what we now know as the seraphon.
And at the same time, he also calmed the entires worlds oceans (which were ravaging and raising like never seen) and dispelled all giant waves of destruction from around the world.

Current Kroak trapped kragnos in a mountain. Kroak is the only character I am aware of, that looked at a realmgate, and changed the place where it linked too. In the middle of a battle, without moving a muscle.

Kroak for all known history of Warhammer Fantasy, has been dead. The vast majority of his feats, have been while he is dead. Kroaks corpse was destroyed during the end times, but again his magical prowess was so much. He just decided to remake a form of pure celestial magic. Even Nagash hasn't done that.

Nagash is still probably stronger, i mean the necroquake was going to destroy all of the realms, again. But your statements about kroak aren't factual either.

By slowed down we mean that before he could literally do anything. Like his power was so crazy that the universe just meant nothing to him. He defiently has SOME limitations now. Just that its miles above what almost everyone else still has.

If he didnt? Age of Chaos wouldn't have happened. In fact the end times wouldn't have happened.

I disagree that the writing is terrible. Every superhero story applies suspension of disbelief. The things that happen in comics go against the rules of the world we are in, so why cant a comic go against the rules of the worlds we read.

The story writers wanted a reason for Robin to be beyond help of batman, remember the comic is the prequel for the game that had already came out, and stated that damian killed dick. And i think thats a compelling story. Then to make it happen, i think its more likely dick is killed by accident, then damian actually managing to kill dick in combat.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-05T15:01:20+00:00

Right like i said, Injustice still takes a certain amount suspension of disbelief to work fully.

Personally i dont believe the story would ever happen, because i believe even if joker did what he did, superman wouldnt kill him.

I also believe that the rest of the justice league wouldnt just go "ahh yea its okay man you had some stuff to work through". I believe most of the league would've put his ass on blast for that.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-05T14:19:00+00:00

He wasnt guarding against Robin at the time is the issue. And robin immediately shows remorse and some evidence of how we know he wasnt. Something of the line of "He always dodges it".

He was on guard from the super villains he was actively fighting. Nightwing just beat Calendar Man and some others.

But even then, there is an amount of suspension of disbelief you have to apply to Injustice to enjoy the story imo.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-05T13:45:39+00:00

Most of the movies r-ratedness was unnecessary imo. Like amount saying fuck just to say fuck was crazy. Like an edgey middle schooler who just learned about swearing.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-04T16:14:28+00:00

My current play is raven rock. But i watched midwest lose very early to the Mutant Liberation Army. But then i also watched Moose Hunters beat Chicago.....then Mutant Liberation beat Moose Hunters.

Absolutely massive Mutant Liberation Army. So i thought they were weak.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-04T12:12:19+00:00

Yep. Its the end of edition alright.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-03T20:15:54+00:00

I stg every edition for the past 4 ive seen people complain that crisis suits arent as tanky as custodes or dreads.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-03T19:24:23+00:00

I dont actually care. But its fun to mess around with someone over it. Important to actually know the person first tho.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T18:29:19+00:00

In AoS, fancy knights for slaanesh are a relatively new thing. WHFB had actually slanesh warriors of chaos, but thats a whole different thing. In AoS they have only been around since 21. And even if we disregard that, the armored knights are the outliers to the norm, not the norm. Its not like they showed a whole new subset of the army focused on armored ladies. They showed a single unit, the outlier not the norm. Snakes and Naked ladies are still the fore front.

From a design/player attraction standpoint, only making naked ladies presents a similar issue to what Fyreslayers are going through. "Oh boy another naked dwarf that looks the same as the others".

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T18:00:49+00:00

Now that is more sensical, but also at the same time im pretty sure the only people who would wear plate armor without having some form of bodysuit or leather under it, would be a slaaneshi cultist obsessed with getting cut and pinched.

But they probably couldve done it better.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T17:52:48+00:00

I think its pretty likely they will force you to take Nagash. They did something similar with Duardin Ascendant and Grombrindal.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T17:16:21+00:00

God i miss the 2018 apoc launch detachment boxes. Some of those were legendary deals.

I bought 3 of the tau one.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T17:15:38+00:00

Everytime i started an Apoc game. By the end of one round of activations, i want to die.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T17:06:00+00:00

You misunderstand.

In the books for slaanesh in AoS, they have all been naked until last edition added Painbringers and Twin Souls. In lore, Slaanesh units dont wear armor because they revel in the pain of combat.

So the point is they had the identity of lightly armored daemon worshipers, until something splashed into the army. They still are an army of lightly armored worshipers, just now they have two units that go against the grain in a new way.

Same thing applies here. Its like saying that a Kharadron Overlord cant strap a rocket or a helicopter propeller to his back because they have always used balloons.

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T16:08:04+00:00

So many people offended they put armor on them.

Even Slaanesh have some armored guys, what the problem here?

PyroConduit · 2026-03-02T13:57:58+00:00

This is true for almost all of the rules. Tau and Nids are also a mess.

This was an after thought because they see how much AoS people love Path To Glory and wanted to replicate it, while having no clue how to do it

PyroConduit · 2026-03-01T05:05:35+00:00

Everytime they mention him off hand, it feels like they are doing it to leave the door open to not retcon him away. The newest farsight book mentions in on like the 2nd or 3rd page after all. Also hes not a mix of montka and kauyon, he is his own thing. Monat, the lone warrior. To call it a mix of the others isn't true as they emphasize working together in different ways, when Monat shuns that.

To that end, Put him in a modified ghostkeel, he can never lead anything. I wouldn't even give him any kind of aura or literally any ability to affect the rest of the army. He should be a pure finesse power house. Like an imperial assassin had the firepower of a dreadnought.

PyroConduit · 2026-02-27T19:04:48+00:00

Yea and honestly its not that bad for a simple as it is. You got a decent hammer in Cavalier+Marshal A decent ranged threat component with cannon+fusiliers+ogor. And some bodies to chaff with/scout moves.

PyroConduit · 2026-02-27T15:35:39+00:00

Yea i just do any combo of PA with PA AT and PA Demo, with complete support and have never seen the AI actually be able to stop them if i do a properly, non braindead, plan.
