As long as the device remains intact even if their body dies they can be "spun up" from this device in a new body after your transfer the data over to the device in the new body (people above a certain age have these devices installed mandatorily). If I had to guess the ring records everything about Vlad (including the moment of his death so he knows who to hold accountable) and when his body is regrown he can pick up where he left off.

snipe just makes sure you don't get discovered when shooting. Stalk makes you hidden in open terrain. So if they're firing from inside or the edge of the woods, they'll remain hidden.

Yep, that’s it! They can just remain hidden whilst firing from the forest. Which could situationally be very good.

They might even get stalk through tech trees in campaign, but they don't have innate stalk in the video. So no, if they're standing on a hill or in the field, they will be visible, whether they fire or not.

The ironsides had repeaters in the announce trailer and then in one of the blogs they said: "Some of you spotted Ironsides with non-regulation repeater handguns in our Thrones of Decay announce trailer. This footage was captured on an in-development version of the game. However, in order to remain as authentic to the world of Warhammer as possible, the Nuln Ironsides at release will be issued with master-wrought handguns, plate armour, and highly-drilled firing discipline." The authentic part shouts that GW told them no cut it

Yeahhhh super disappointed with the new ironsides . The old ones with standard uniforms and 120 unit size with repeaters and bayonets was amazing. Maybe they'll see all the disappointment. Everything else was amazing but the ironsides are the only common unit compliant

[@piotr7805]

Remember how in previous total wars units could dismount? Now imagine the mount gets killed at 20% hp and the lord/hero is left on foot with the remaining hp, or some set value, like 30-40%. That would make us both enjoy using mounted heroes to their full potential and having an opportunity to witness their glorious animations.

[@Valk.Rebels]

[@ethanestevez382]

They are a few situations where I like Lords and heroes to be on foot. Often times you can leave them in melee forever, since their hitbox is so small and their melee defense typically is higher. But honestly, I may just be justifying my need to see their animations with that.

GW seemed to have cracked down on Repeaters for ironsides. All the art and animation points to CA wanting them to have repeaters. I just find it funny that we get purple sun rockets but iron sides with repeaters? Nah too lore breaking for GW apparently. Also why is Bruckner riding a generic Demigryph model instead of the unique one he had in the initial trailer?

[@KartarNighthawk]

GW policies have rarely made sense. As for Bruckner...sounds typical. Get us hyped with a cool trailer, but don't actually spend the money in game.

The Repeater ironsides thing is a little strange. I'm no lorebuff but i was excited to see those guns in the trailer since i was familiar with the repeaters from Vermintide. Hopefully there is still room for a RoR unit with repeaters but I am a little sad that we wont get a full unit of repeaters without mods

[@Rukdug]

Unfortunately, this seems like a case of GW initially approving it, then changing their mind and being stricter with the tabletop rules. Repeater Handguns were unfortunately reserved for Engineer characters and Outriders as a weapon option, with Ironsides always just being a more heavily armored handgunner unit.

[@ollyrukes]

isn't the animation showing them firing in a sort of burst fire, like a repeater might?

[@d.u.s.k.9461]

It was probably an annoying GW decision. In lore Repeater Guns are rather "rare" in the sense that they are not really produced en masse but rather passion projects of engineers, so having whole units outfitted with them would stretch that idea. But gameplay should have absolutely came first here, repeaters would have been waaaay more interesting than just better handguns. Also having the literal Nuln Marines Corps get equipped with the best guns that could be possible sounds perfectly reasonable regarding the lore to me. Don't know why they made that change.

In the imperial gunnery tab, on affected units, Is the bottom left unit not the repeating rifles?

[@DaThingOnTheDoorstep]

I don't know, without the repeaters, Nuln Ironsides might end up being sort of pointless next to Hochland Longrifles and just the humble Handgunners. With the Repeating Handguns, they would do something neither of the blackpowder units do, which is close range/high damage with the kit to survive the approach. Yeah, in campaign esp. endgame, go nuts. Not sure if the discipline ability and some armor is worth the cost in MP though.

Very nice. An Elector County finally done. Only 8 more to go. Personally I have been enjoying playing as an Elector rather than the Emperor for quite awhile.

It would have been cool if most of the guns on the land ship were on the sides so you have to set up broadsides. That would encourage you to push it in front of your lines set up a shot. You could even come up with a lore excuse like they didn't have valve technology so it takes damage of it stops moving and let you set up patrol loops or something, basically you'd have to use it like it was a naval bathe

In case of the Hochland longrifles and their snipe trait without stalk... Maybe they want them to be like some kind of "real life hunter" units. So they are visible but when you put them in trees they will benefit from snipe?!

Her mechanics looks like mix of ikit workshop and the chaos dwarfs forge. Looks great tho. Im torn about who to try out 1st when it gets released.

2:40 Indy the best solution is putting a dismount feature into the game. This would be such a boon for gameplay depth. Honestly, if they released a utility style DLC pack with dismounts for every lord/hero in the game alongside additional combat/sync animations, I would pay money for it happily.

[@maksataubakirov7937]

maybe implement dismount mechanic kind of like transformation spells just a thought mods will probably fix that so her on foot animations can be seen

Cant wait for the Elsbeth vs Ikkit battle to see who can be the best lord of war!
