Completely agree about the mobility being way better, making it worth it. I do think you underestimated the magma cannons tho. Tier 2 easy to recruit and the damage overtime obliterates infantry and even cavalry.

[@vuky258_]

Yeah he definitely underestimated the Magmas. But do you really think getting 4 of these in one army is preferable to getting 4 regular Dreadquakes for TWO armies? I'm not convinced. I think these are only ever worth it once you have enough capacity to field 4 regular ones in all of your armies.

[@Grivehn]

Yep. Magma Cannons obliterate in pvp, too. But even if that wasnt the case, its cheaper than Hellcannon, more accurate and reliable as well. Having merely two per army did wonders for me. It has incredible range, and the one thing Hellcannon does better is sniping enemy artillery. (Then again, magmas will just kill the entire handling crew instead.) The only other thing its 'unit cap slot' worth using for is the Dreadquakes themselves. When you've got the cash for them.

[@itaske2402]

@Vuktor - CSGO Fun & More! yeh it just depends, if ur strapped for cash or armaments then no. But if u dont have a spell caster on a flying mount in the army and are the attacker then its nice to beable to set ur army up at a good spot even if they're not in range and ride them up to the enemy army to obliterate at the start.

I was fighting Clan Skryre and I thought they nuked me, but it was a menace from bellow that made every dreadquake mortar fire into my lines. I think Iron Daemon/DQ Mortar's fire-at-will only affects the Iron Daemon, the DQ Mortar still fires, which is why I was using the melee ones

[@gharn2594]

Manual fire only is definitely a bit weird on these units. I found that if you give an attack order, but the unit you want to attack is out of range, then they will just start bombing anything they can hit while they move into position. Happens with the skullcracker variant too. Just moving unit your into a position then giving the attack order thankfully seems to fix the issue.

2:50 I want to emphasize here that overseers make WAY better commanders then the sorcerer lords, this is because the sorcerers and the overseers both have 3 unique skills but the sorcerer's skills mostly buff himself with spells or physical power where as the overseer's skills all massively buff his army (20% magic resist for ENTIRE army, +20 armor for all chorf infantry, -15% upkeep for hobgoblins for cheap defense army. This is also combined with the fact that daemon smith sorcerer hero's are actually better then the lord version, not only do they get the same mounts and spells but the daemon smiths actually have the skills to buff war machines and heal them, making them the superior choice overall.

[@thorgrimgrudgebearer6757]

I have found that having a flying lord and flying hashut mage just dogpile reinforcements as they come in can be a great way to swing things in my favor when going up against 2+ stacks but damn those mortors shred too

[@darkrite9000]

To be fair a skaven weapon team is also heavily dependent on terrain, and the skaven don't have dreadquake mortars. Plagueclaw catapults are good, but the dreadquake mortars are great. Also while the dreadquake mortar with iron daemon/skullcracker does cost 2 capacity, it also has higher stats (now I actually didn't know that the 60 speed on the normal dreadquake mortar was actually false information the game gives you, I just thought the iron daemons were faster entirely because of the more power ability), and while the total stats would be lower than if you got both units separately, it is still nearly twice as strong while taking up only 1 army slot, whereas if you wanted to match or exceed the strength you'd be using more army slots. But it does depend on what people prefer to use. Regardless I think Dreadquake mortars should've had their own capacity away from magma cannons, deathshriek rocket launchers and such because I honestly don't see why you'd use them once you have access to the Dreadquake mortar, it's just much better in my opinion. Magma cannons cannot do the same kind of damage the dreadquake mortar does, nothing can, and technically speaking, that's fine, because in lore the Dreadquake mortar is arguably the single most devastating piece of artillery in Warhammer lore.

Would the battle be similarly one-sided against another faction, such as chaos warriors or some other high-armor army? I already feel like Empire has pretty weak units apart from their gunpowder ones, so this honestly felt a bit like swatting weak opponents to show off what is certainly an impressive unit.

[@Vaprous]

Its purely a composition issue. You see it throughout this battle but if this was stacks full of Reiksguard, Demigryphons, Steam Tanks, Artilery and more spell casters, than Legend would have had a much more difficult time. Key to beating the dread quake mortars is being faster than their shots, being tanky enough to reach their lines when you enter blunderbuss/fireglaive ranges, having high armor piercing so you can beat through the armor of dwarven units, and having magic to trade more efficiently from a distance with their infantry. Chaos Dwarfs are still Dwarfs. Just with a lot more gunpowder. Quality and speed trades very well with them.

[@titssnitchtzeentch649]

Infernak fireglaives are far more accurate imo (my deathshireks never hit anything) and they double as very effective melee units if necessary.

I know you're desensitized, you've been watching too much of N'kari getting railed, so you aren't as armored and you are incapable of ranged damage and your artillery pieces are just numb. But trust me, when you fire this race up, you're little fucking doom mortars are going to be quaking buddy. You're little doom quake mortars are going to be quaking. ERRR YEAH YEAH, YOU'RE GOING TO SHOOT FIRE, YOU'RE GOING TO SHOOT ASH, YOU'RE GOING TO SHOOT HOT ASH EVERYWHERE.

I Had a awesome army with the 'weapons team' style except using actual jezzails from a skaven ally with the rest filled up with blunderbusses and 2 magma cannons

[@BittermanAndy]

Oof, actual jezzails in this would be nasty.

A single shot on a daemonic unit is probably enough for it to get vanished. Fucking hilarious
