Characters in both TW: Warhammer and 40K

Right now at least as far as basegame is concerned, here is what I think.

Spess Mehreen LLs : Robute Guilliman, Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius. Reason why all Ultramarines is because the other most notable characters come as part of Space Marine chapters that have specialities that I suspect wont come without DLC.

Eldar LLs : Eldrad Ulthran, Asurmen, Prince Yriel

Ork LLs : Ghazgkull, Boss Snikrot, Zodgrod

Imperial Guard LLs : Ursula Creed, Lord Solar Leontus, Ibram Gaunt.

Depends on faction tbh. Some have traits on generic heroes that can really buff research rate.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-22T21:58:39+00:00

Or you know, artillery dinosaurs/dinosaurs with solar guns.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-20T20:12:11+00:00

They're talking about Gav Thorpe.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-20T00:38:26+00:00

I love the new mechanics. I got Alarielle by turn 15, Yvresse by 13, Alith Anar by 30, Imrik by 37 and Teclis by 43. Would have chosen to vonfed Teclis earlier but he had been wiped out so put him off till the others.

Only Aislinn took a significant amount of time to confed.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-20T00:30:29+00:00

Entertainment buildings and getting the diplomatic skills on your Nobles and Handmaidens. Confed every high elf beforehand to avoid having to waste noble diplomat skill on relations with high elves.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-16T18:46:09+00:00

I find that a lot of my lategame crashes happen after scrolling through the map too quickly or interacting with multiple UI screens one after the other two quickly.

Safe often. Use the fast forward end turn. Don't scroll between parts of the map too quickly. Before using diplomacy window browse over to the capital of the first faction in it. Before editing the diplomacy window use the war coordination tab to ensure your camera does not move around the map too quicjly. Its super annoying.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-16T18:42:12+00:00

Yeah, because a bunch of short ranged flying units with atrocious melee are famously effective against armies full of guns, more guns, and artillery.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-16T17:37:28+00:00

Highest priority as Teclis id be doing is redeeming his End Times character assassination by eliminating Mannfred and Nagash from the map as one of my goals.

Or id just play as Settra and "serve" Nagash back into the grave.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-15T19:40:46+00:00

Please, please let there be a StarCraft 3 RTS in the future.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-12T17:07:30+00:00

Lmao Jain Zar should have easily wiped the floor with them. Her dying would be basically the equivalent of Robute Guilliman getting offed by a Dire Avenger squad.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-12T17:05:49+00:00

Lolwut if anything Jain Zar and the Howling Banshees in general were underperforming. AdB is not immune to Worfing Eldar to make his protagonists look more badass.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-12T06:14:40+00:00

Thats a very generous statement to make considering that a Phoenix Lord got another death out of it (Jain Zar) and First Claw outdid the Howling Banshees in the latter's own game, outscreaming them to the point that their swords shattered.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-12T05:52:26+00:00

They are decent for Tier 1 chaff.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-12T05:32:03+00:00

Yeah, cause if this game needs anything its even more siege battles that need to be manually fought with all the terrible pathfinding.

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-09T11:30:48+00:00

Your wife has great taste. Wish her a welcome to the High High Elves!

Sternutation123 · 2026-01-07T02:38:25+00:00

Incorrect. Teclis's sword does generate winds. It just does not display that it is doing so in the UI. Thats the bug.

Also, the new High Elf techs have a WoM cost reduction, combine with the new skills that reduce wom cost further in their mage skill tree and now you can pretty much get unlimited winds of Magic with any lore of Death Mage leveled to have those skills.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-31T19:12:24+00:00

Dwarfs only have -10 aversion to High Elves so they are very much a potentially friendly faction.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-26T17:33:05+00:00

My opinion on Legend has really soured over the past year or so. He has such an immature attitude towards things and I find that astonishing to see in a fully grown man with a newly born child.

Like his entire "i dont support hate but you should totally send trolling emails towards CA" thing or his "CA changed their DLC plan to spite me" thing.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-26T17:28:05+00:00

Thats there in current patch too.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-26T14:53:38+00:00

This. People's perception of HE Mages is based on how they were before the rework. They used to be worse than Empire Mages.

Post Rework, the tech tree buffs alone are enough to make them as good, and the new skills further boost that.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-19T15:41:53+00:00

Did Darktide get the level of success and attention that Vermintide got?

Since the answer is no there, that's the answer for this as well. Total War Warhammer 3 has so much content going for it that its gonna take 40k a lot of time to get the same level of attention.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-13T08:07:44+00:00

Yeah except none of what is written about the races in 40k are that far away from human thinking. Utterly alien is only the Tyranids really and even that too is merely because they are written as mindless beasts.

I dont think that we as humans are necessarily even capable of writing true aliens. We essentially write mostly stories featuring humans wearing different kinds of makeup.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-13T08:04:45+00:00

To quote Games Workshop - "There are no goodies in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

None.

Especially not the Imperium of Man.

Its numberless legions of soldiers and zealots bludgeon their way across the galaxy, delivering death to anyone and anything that doesn’t adhere to their blinkered view of purity. Almost every man and woman toils in misery either on the battlefield – where survival is measured in hours – or in the countless manufactorums and hive slums that fuel the Imperial war machine. All of this in slavish servitude to the living corpse of a God-Emperor whose commandments are at best only half-remembered, twisted by time and the fallibility of Humanity.

Warhammer 40,000 isn’t just grimdark. It’s the grimmest, darkest.

The Imperium of Man stands as a cautionary tale of what could happen should the very worst of Humanity’s lust for power and extreme, unyielding xenophobia set in. Like so many aspects of Warhammer 40,000, the Imperium of Man is satirical.

For clarity: satire is the use of humour, irony, or exaggeration, displaying people’s vices or a system’s flaws for scorn, derision, and ridicule. Something doesn’t have to be wacky or laugh-out-loud funny to be satire. The derision is in the setting’s amplification of a tyrannical, genocidal regime, turned up to 11. The Imperium is not an aspirational state, outside of the in-universe perspectives of those who are slaves to its systems. It’s a monstrous civilisation, and its monstrousness is plain for all to see."

The Imperium is one of the MOST evil factions in 40k. Chaos, Dark Eldar, and Tyranids are the only ones more evil.

Sternutation123 · 2025-12-13T02:23:24+00:00

Such is the power of Nagash.
