holy shit lore accurate chainsword

[@tomas.zentrich]

I actually find it really annoying how so many units can't just charge out of masses like this and the AI just basically swarms all around you and even one stupid soldier being in the way can prevent a unit from getting away. Spamming "move" doesn't seem to help much. Meanwhile, the AI doesn't seem to suffer from this issue and regularly forces it's infantry through your front line to get to your ranged units and can easily get their single entities through as well without ever getting bogged down. There's always that one AI lord/hero that squeezes through in order to start attacking your spellcaster or disrupt missile units. I understand that that is the right strategy to aim for, but it's something that should either either apply to both the player and the AI or neither. In the battle here there is absolutely no reason that Arbaal shouldn't be able to just charge through those rats. I get the feeling that the AI just spams the attack command for all of its units in order to get them to encircle the single entities.

[@cjs4363]

In my experience, spamming attack does help and yeah I think the AI does issue orders like that, so that's why they can have more success I feel like the stopping power of infantry blobs is consistent though. Try making deeper formations. If you stretch every unit as wide as it goes, you are leaving fewer models to support each other from a charge breaking through. I support my lines with 2 anti large infantry units and deploy them in a thinner box formation to support units that are being charged by monsters/cavalry

[@tomas.zentrich]

@@cjs4363, I mean, I'm still winning every battle, it's just annoying to witness 😄Especially when the AI suicides its troops through my frontline because they simply MUST get to those ranged units of mine that aren't even shooting because of a line-of-sight "problem" 😄

[@GafferPerkele]

The AI essentially still spams orders for every individual unit non stop. Luckily, it doesn't glitch the game like back in Med2, but you can on weaker computers still experience the lag spikes. It is a damn annoying "cheat" they have, with their SE:s actually homing in on their targets, their cavalry disengaging proper, their flyers becoming helicopters and performing vertical take offs and so on. Not especially a TW unique thing for the AI to do, but it is always a quite annoying trait to have. Would rather the "AI" do smart commands then just be no-brain Serral on crack when playing against them.

[@Cynndora]

so what we need is a unholy manifestation for khorne to make target allied army get a map-wide effect that makes all enemies unbreakable.

[@darkrite9000]

While that would be funny and thematic, Arbaal doesn't use unholy Manifestations, only demon LL factions get those. So he wouldn't be able to use it, Skulltaker and Skarbrand would though.

[@saltedllama2759]

Arbaal is a very stat-loaded legendary lord. His own Physical Resistance upgrade is bugged and doesn't apply though. He can get it from items and defeat traits, but one of his skill spots that is supposed to give Weapon Strength and 10% Physical Resistance won't actually give him any Physical Resistance.

[@zefyrisd69]

no it does apply, you just have a high tendency with him to end in recruit stance since he jumps all around the world and has 1 turn recruit global recruitment, which causes him to have extremely low wind of magic reserves (encamp stance for Khorne has a -5 wind debuff). And very low wind of magic reserves cause a -10% phys resistance on the army for chaos god armies.

[@Gigaknight1]

I thought the splash attacks are fixed depending on the base weapon strength of the unit. Its not a modifier, just an equation they used to set the number of targets hit.

[@Asasz6]

For bonus ward save shenanigans, keep that dwarven lord in a region with minor cult grail knight's grave. This gives blessing of the lady as a trait, which is even _more_ ward save. You can easily get to 90% ward save on dwarven generic lords nowadays.

I had a good time fighting Archie around lvl 20 with decent stacks, it felt like a but satisfying loreful challenge.

[@craigpoltenovage9148]

I know the sword of Khain is overused but with it Arbaal really is unbeatable. I have the maximum resistance of every type of damage in the game besides ward save which I’m at 60 percent with before turn 50, all I’m waiting on now is Bloodfeasters banner so I can have pure regeneration as well. He has perfect vigor, is unbreakable, expert charge defense, everything you could want is on this guy. The Blade of Khorne faction ability is just the icing on the cake. I just killed 4 full stacks of endgame crisis Chaos Dwarfs with just Arbaal and he was still full hp by the end, it’s absurd.

[@sonsy8762]

Chainsword has always been in TTW3, it's the short campaign victory reward for Skarbrand (Well, Khorne lord overall now), you can also get it as a reward with Valkia and in a quest with the changeling.

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

Waaayyyy back in Liber Chaotica, GW "subtlely" brought in chaos marines and specifically mentioned chainswords. I think its inclusion in this game was a direct nod to that. Much like bringing in Arbaal himself, or Harry Hammerstorm.

[@theburningcloud1214]

Let's not forget, anyone could get the Chainsword in Realms of Chaos if you went to Khorne's realm and got it as reward.

[@oberonmeister]

Is he like a chaos spacemarine that somehow ended up in WHF? I mean... given that chainsword and armor looking a lot like older 40k power armor patterns from before the heresy. I'm not huge on WHF lore, so just wondering.

[@cutlervanalstine2984]

Short answer: no. However, Skarbrand is literally a 40k demon that tried to attack Khorne, so Khorne personally threw him like a meteor through the warp and into WHF (that's why he is called "the Exiled". The chainsword in the video is a special reward that Skarbrand can get, so in this save file they must have confederated Skarbrand and acquired it. The armor styles on WHF chaos units are similar to 40k because the Chaos Gods are actually the same between 40k and Fantasy, and they can access both settings through the warp/chaos wastes

[@wesleygevaert7959]

@legendoftotalwar I started an Arbaal campaign after the hotfix, there seems to be something wrong with aquiring legendary traits, I killed kostaltyn, thrott and wurrzag early in the campaign. I got the trait that says I defeated them, but only the kostaltyn trait was applying. No 10% physical resistance from wurrzag or 10% hit points from thrott. Anyone else experience this? (I also noticed long ago that saved lord characters with legendary defeat traits don't apply said traits). Let me know if you want a save file. (no mods active atm)

[@wesleygevaert7959]

I did some testing, thinking it was because I was loading saved characters. But now I think that when Arbaal gains his mount, he loses all trait effects he gained before that (while still keeping the defeat lord X trait, it's just not applying anymore)

[@csours]

[@vargknight]

I don't really get the helm of draesca. It's never really worth it, the bonuses you get are not worth the chance that your lord can be out for 10 turns at all. Even the trait you can potentially get is still not worth that chance. The new items in general are kind of shit, apart from a couple that are good for ranged lords.
