the "80% was friendly fire" and then you backtracking and doing the math and realizing how right you were was hilarious.

[@strangerlucky5753]

it is not tho, the tower kill count is not included.

[@AnitoShima]

@@strangerlucky5753 it looks like in the video they got in through a part of the wall that didnt have anyone to man the towers. when in the wall pretty much all the units look untouched except one, EDIT. forgot this was warhammer 3 for a minute, and didnt count inside base towers, so your point is still valid

[@honnorgaurd]

this is just skaven in a nutshell right here 😂

[@DarthLeon2]

16:05 Autoresolve loves ratling guns because of their extremely high missile strength. It loves hellblaster volley guns for the same reason. Both units aren't nearly as good in practice as their stats suggest, but autoresolve doesn't know that.

[@Sure_Ruse_User]

11:46 The Engineering Student ancillary with + 5 Armor x2 (Lord and Hero), on top of 70 normal armor probably also helps in the auto-resolve calculations.

[@Arkhestra]

got ambushed in tw:w2 years ago by a 30 stack against my single cold ones chariot unit with a lord and hit auto resolve because fuck that heroic victory it claimed over 3.5k rat souls

[@Bloodlyshiva]

The presumption is that ranged units get to fire everything. The results are....

[@Veldazandtea]

The devs didn't know that or didn't bother to balance it more like.

[@canadiangopher4443]

Warhammer 2 the Ratlings were EXTREMELY power, even better than their stats suggested, but yeah for 3 they kinda nerfed the hell out of all ranged units.

[@YoBen100]

When you bring gun to the arrow and sword fight. An absolute victory.

[@dr_yeet9399]

Seeing this made me think "Huh I wonder what Deathglobes, Wind Mortars, Warpfires or Jezzails only would look like?" Came to the mental consensus that it would be a lot harder, due to building tiers and unit tiers the only one that could possibly look similar to this Ratling Gun Only vid would be Warpfires, I know first-hand the auto resolve adores warpfire throwers for some reason even though they usually bathe your own rats in green fire before the enemy.

[@Adierit]

Warpfire throwers are meant to be your frontline. They directly counter melee infantry, they themselves have 70 armor base making them have something like 50% damage reduction as well as having that magic damage based flamethrower that completely bypasses armor and melee resistance. Its leadership debuff also makes them route, so if you combo warpfire throwers with ratling guns or warplock jezzails behind them they are a deadly combo.

[@janp5063]

Jezzails works even better, once they are Tier 9 and have full range you kill 3-4 Units at the start of the battle. Then its over in under 1 minute most of the time.

[@microcosms2420]

poison/Deathglobes are probably the most op unit skaven has imo. They can arc their shots over infantry and walls better than any other weapons team. they move faster than most weapons teams. They can actually scale walls, making them the best ranged unit during seiges. Just poison globes already have pretty similar dps to the warpfire thrower, with the deathglobes blowing everything out of the water with their dps outpput. Sheilds dont seem to be a big nuisance either, since the bombs explode and inflict a status regardless if they hit a shield or not. Same when they attack units on walls, their shots dont seem to be blocked as much as other ranged fire can be, AND since their status spreads to the entire squad if just one hits, its no question their value in seige battles. Theyre even upgraded to be anti-large, making them arguably one of skaven's best ranged unit against large opponents too. A full deathstack of deathglobes is one of the strongest armies in the game to have (i think) since they pretty much melt through everything that comes at them in virtually every situation you come across. I really have a hard time thinking how you could counter such a force without using a ridiculous amount of artillery or a dozen dragons. as for the other weapons teams, Warpfires are great because theyre cheap and expendable, but you cant seige for shit with them. They also are not going to stand up to shielded infantry mixed with monstrous infantry. And their range is quite miserable making armored piercing ranged units a pain to deal with. While Jezzails... Jezzails just kinda stink imo. Theyre great for their range, but not for much of anything else. Jezzails dont melt through infantry quite like the other weapons teams do. Theyre great for sniping ranged units and artillery, but a full stack of jezzails will quickly get trampled on by a simple horde of shielded infantry.

[@R03333]

​@@janp5063yeah Jezzails absolutely wreck everything if you've got map positioning on your side & they're fully buffed. It's not even close.

[@danielgloyd4529]

I have actually done some deathglobe deathstacks before. Using a few engineers to buff, they just need a couple plague priests to spam out summons if the enemy closes in with fast units. The summons also help when being outranged, which is the only weakness in my experience.

[@consolescrub4031]

Oh, surely you would need to do it as Cylostra or with a mod if you want a full ethereal army (I think Kemmler used to be ethereal in earlier editions so there's probably a mod for it). Bonus points for pulling off a outpost to somehow get the Green Knight or the lost Stag Knights for more ghostly goodness. Your life instantly becomes pain the moment you go anywhere near a Tzeentch faction though.

Yeah, one of Morghur's abilities is that he never stays wounded for longer than 1 turn, regardless of the circumstances. Add that Clan Skrye's thing is weapons teams even when you aren't doing a challenge, and it makes him one of the biggest hurdles for Ikit Claw's early game.

Just wanted to compliment you on how much your scripts/delivery have improved over time. Was recently watching your older videos and the jump in quality here is awesome

Agreed, have noticed the same thing! And that "pet shop" story theme on that one video was such a great premise / structure for the video lol

Somewhere, a greenskin finds a discarded ratling gun, picks it up and likes how it sounds. Thus began the Orks' 40,000 year journey to find "enuff dakka".

[@darnokx9277]

"Today I am going to be playing the Skaven incorrectly" ... but you didn't. The only way to play Skaven incorrectly is by some of them working together peacefully. Genocide by nuclear bombardement, eating your own troops alive and friendly fire galore? That's just a random Tuesday for Skaven...

Referring to the dwarfs as 5’11 is one of the funniest and most true things I’ve heard

[@Shadow-knight12]

as a skaven player in the tabletop warhammer you described our rat lore perfectly.i cant wait to see more rat content

[@Zergling.]

I would have loved we could have gotten the rattling guns from vermintide, the ones where its only one black rat with a minigun, that should have been the RoR.

[@KanuckStreams]

A 5'11" Dwarf would be staggeringly tall. Also, LORD that slow movement speed for Dwarfs is crippling, especially in city battles.

[@r.k.5031]

The stature of a dwarf is measured from the sole of his boot to the head of his axe!

[@dogdog357]

To be fair, there are dwarf units that are labeled as "Fast (for a dwarf)" Their speed is 32. Not very fast at all
