[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

Honestly, when game one launched I NEVER thought Tamrakhan would make it into the game, being a forgeworld creation. When the Mammoth came to Norsca, I STILL didnt think we would see him, as I thought that would be a one off. As one of my favorite Lords in the series, this is not only an exciting release, but it shows that if they can keep going with this game, the sky is the limit on what we could expect to see! One update I think would be fantastic, is adding these toad dragons as a nurgle lord mount option. Perhaps slightly less impressive than Boubous (Tamrakhans dragon) but all the same. In fact, I am hoping they add themed manticores and dragons to ALL marked generic Lords (as per army books). Heres hoping!

[@Weberkooks]

Expectations are the enemy of happiness. give it atleast a year before you start making assumptions. CA is less than half the size that it was a year ago. That has absolutely affected this game and will continue to have consequences. Idk why people have to "expect." anything instead of just waiting and seeing

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

@@Weberkooks I don't "expect"anything. I'm saying the possibilities have alot of promise. Yeah, they fired a bunch of people. "Woke" people who wanted to rush through anything warhammer to hurry and get to the "activist" content of other games. I've chatted with someone inside who filled me in on the whole mess, including a less than savory mess that would get me shadowbanned to even talk about. They are back to the same size crew they had with Warhammer 1 and 2. And as those games showed, thats not a bad thing. Most of those fired were new hires after the success of 1 and 2, who were working on other projects no one wanted or asked for, which were made more for political virtue signaling than anything else. A mistake it seems, that CA is thankfully correcting.

[@mphylo2296]

@@MidnightBlackandVictoria Ordinary, hard-working people got fired. Not your woke boogeymen and certainly not anybody with control over the direction of the company. No surprise that you of all people are jumping to such conclusions, if your channel is any indication.

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

@@mphylo2296 "Woke boogieman"? LOL Your ignorance is astonishing. And its not even like this is some big secret. And while yes, some were good people (hence why I said MOST) the problem was activists infiltrating gaming through DEI groups. Very real problem. One you either support, or are in ignorance about obviously. They dropped MILLIONs of a game about (censored by KZbin if I say so look it up) in outer space called "Hyena's", and that was just ONE such project which was a lost cause before it was even finished. Warhammer 3 has been a bumpy road at best, and outright absent, because they were diverting most resources to these "activist" titles, which lost them a ton of money. Then there was something not as well known, a S abuse scandal that was ongoing, and covered up by people who were afraid of being fired because allegations were against someone in the upper echelons. You have NO idea what your talking about.

[@Zarastro54]

I just want to remind everyone to give props to the animators for making the movements of animals that *do not exist* seem so realistic. They clearly studied the skeletons and movements of real animals to incorporate them into the animations. It reminds me of how Disney animators studied real dogs to get the animations in movies like Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmations down pat.

Next time you have the Toad Dragon as a video centerpiece, you should 1000% narrate a script based off the Tox-dump scene from Lords of Silence. Here’s a taste of it: “The effluent is thick, black, stiff and frothing - a concentrated slurry of everything foul and curdled from the very depths of the warship’s chem-drenched intestines. It is the liquefied bones of strangled Neverborn, the excreta of the apothecarions, the refuse of the bioweapons labs, the run-off from Slert’s crowded experiment tables. For decades it has all stewed in Geller-shrouded containment tanks, fermenting and coagulating and spawning under heat lamps. New things have emerged in that soup of horror - chains of metal-gnawing molecules that copulate madly with strings of flesh-dissolving bacteria. The whole morass is shot through with the daemonic, bound by the warp and coalesced into void-defying globules. When it shoots out like projectile vomit into open space, it does not freeze-dry and explode - it only gushes more strongly, streaming in incontinent torrents in search of firm matter to latch on to.”

[@UnreasonableOpinions]

[@andrewhannigan931]

That death skill does seem just way too strong in terms of damage. Compared to similar abilities on say tyrion or Malus (t'zarkan as a second life) it just seems obnoxious especially combined with the mass speed and damage output. Honestly getting the impression that they're just making the new stuff op just to sell it.

[@darthplagueis13]

I mean, it makes sense lorewise since it's basically supposed to represent the actual Maggot leaving the old body and stealing that of its killer. Personally, I think it's kind of fine, but the range needs tuning. A 100 meters radius is too much for something like this.

[@Augimund]

Agreed on the range being way too big. It should definitely only activate at very close range, and nurgle has the tools to slow enemies down and keep them within that radius. 100 meters is absurd and way too big for a little Maggot.

[@ogretyrant8531]

You saw who won the fight right every time something new comes out people cry power creep just enjoy the fight besides it’s Lore accurate anyway.

[@rubric-eo5yj]

don't think it's too op only need's a range reduction to something like 20 meters

[@milkandcookiesTW]

range should probably be shorter, 100 meters doesnt really make sense. 10-25 meters max would be much more logical. and even 25 meters might be a stretch. it should be a dueling ability, not a lord sniper from across the map

would have been a solid pick, could have put a lot of pressure on the toad dragon with the troglodon spit, then charge in from the rear with harmonic convergence and heals when opportunity arises. unsure whether it would be better than Scar vet on carno. competitively, people always bring casters. but Plague ogres and Rot knights would have been much more dangerous to Kroq Gar if he didnt have another Carno supporting him

Hey Indy, how come Tamurkhan suddenly has the pike/banner on his saddle? I had noticed it wasn't there previously.
