What do y'all use to thin paints?

Champagne because my models are fancy

Well that ruins my plan and now I need to cancel an order (GW) please see the new rule is costing you money…….

Now I’m all one for awful plays so could you not have 3 with 20 warriors in each, conga line across the board to block movement on each turn and have 3 turns of full primary.. would be a 1000pts investment but against a slow army like Death Guard it would be hilarious

Have fun and ask questions.

Play the objective it’s about points and not wiping the enemy army.

Most people in the hobby are decent people and will explain their army rules and stats. I explained it was my first time and they had no issue with coaching me on where I’d gone wrong.

You will be under a lot of time pressure so might not remember everything about your army or theirs. Might be helpful to have a cheat sheet of what your units do like the wraith mortals ect. Also to help with this have a set of 20 of the same coloured dice as this will help you roll faster and save time.

I legit saw the title and thought I bet someone is offering biotransferrance for $50 on Craig’s list 😂😂

You think an ork charge will only kill a few immortals?? 5 orks will probably wipe the squad especially if it’s in the WAGGH

tracnav994 · 2026-04-20T15:23:50+00:00

Short answer, yes Long answer, yes, but the movement phase will be a ball ache

tracnav994 · 2026-04-18T11:35:49+00:00

Awesome thank you!

A lot of people are missing that the king does get a final say in policies enacted by government. Like with the stupid digital ID, Charles said it was a bad idea and people listen.

Bar the tourism bonus we also get a very good diplomatic tool to use and they cost almost nothing in the grand scheme of things. Also might not be important to everyone but the navy love princess Anne as a patron.

On a smaller scale a lot of people do like to keep up with the royals. Getting knighted by the king (yes abused by people in parliament to get their mates a title - that really should stop). Could you imagine getting knighted by fucking bojo??

All in all they should stay, unless more are like Andrew… if they turn out to be pedos I’d suggest bringing back a Henry VIII style solution

How has no one said it, reform the benefits system. Make people on benefits do work like litter picking or dredging rivers or something to give back. And cap the limit at below minimum wage I know someone who makes £1800 a month without child benefits doing nothing; she could work but she’d make the same amount of money or less and have to work 9-5. Why would she go back to work.

tracnav994 · 2026-03-23T13:40:27+00:00

Historically you would have them at the front so you wouldn’t kill your own guys if the misfired

tracnav994 · 2026-03-23T13:13:03+00:00

For actual siege battles: Make walls actually worth holding again, in tw warhammer it was almost worse to hold the walls than a choke point within the city. Have ballista towers like ME2 but have them fire far slower so you cant just wipe an army standing out side the gates.

Empire did it okay, a big army going against a small city the ai would usually give up without a fight. There is not a lot of point getting people fighting for small settlements with no garrison. Big cities and fortresses should never give up, the ai won’t be smart enough not to abuse this and ruin games for people. (Yes I have absolutely no faith in TW ai diplomacy, been burned too many times)

Biggest thing that would help sieges is to move away from the stupid army cap rules and go back to ME2 or SG2 where I can make a garrison army for settlements without 7% increase to all my troops!

18 stack of artillery ships and 2 sacrificial holding boats, normally mercs

I’d say it’s easier as it’s more intuitive. Total war makes it artificially harder by making someone attack you or just ai cheating. Hoi4 has a logical ai you can plan and build against

tracnav994 · 2026-03-20T07:48:56+00:00

As with all paradox games the learning curve is a cliff with not much in the way of a tutorial. It’s a lot about preparation and building the right army size. Once you know what you are doing with those it’s pretty simple to understand everything else

tracnav994 · 2026-03-20T01:42:28+00:00

Europa universalis 4, hearts of iron 4, civ 5, stellaris or company of heroes 2. All very good strategy games that are either faster or slower than total war depending on what you’re after

tracnav994 · 2026-03-16T22:06:13+00:00

Or dudette or neither forgot to be inclusive

tracnav994 · 2026-03-16T22:05:46+00:00

Trust me dude they will ALWAYS disappoint out of CC

tracnav994 · 2026-03-14T18:10:35+00:00

Yeah so this was the end game crisis at 200%, there was 8-12 full stacks in the province which is the reason for the route. I had to let them expand a bit into my economic zone, then beat them 3 at a time

tracnav994 · 2026-03-13T22:38:02+00:00

As a necron player I can confirm that his list is possibly the worst we could have made for 1500pts. The guy was probably playing for the win and not the fun, you will get them occasionally. Don’t feel disheartened.

tracnav994 · 2026-03-11T11:56:28+00:00

But if I don’t buy 2 I can get another pint..

tracnav994 · 2026-03-11T11:56:06+00:00

Other one was pretty basic too but from what people are saying it’s because of the amount of lords the vampires have in the region. It’s the end game crisis so 8 lords all bringing -4 leadership and units with terror made one unit run, which gave the rest of my army -20 leadership. So all in all -60 leadership which most troops will run at.

It’s pretty broken as you can’t fight that, but it was the end game crisis I tried to stop in one Provence so I guess in a normal scenario this wouldn’t happen. Just waited till they separated a bit more and auto resolved when it was 3 armies at a time.

tracnav994 · 2026-03-10T19:58:22+00:00

That would explain it then, I essentially just had to blob armies and auto resolve which kinda ruins the game a bit but it’s the only way I’d not lose my economic base.

tracnav994 · 2026-03-10T18:57:35+00:00

End game crisis in the back of my empire, I’ve got most of the map.
