NOOB'S GUIDE to THOREK IRONBROW

"He buffs quarellers, bolt throwers and grudge throwers" Great, even less reason to diversify my armies.

[@Mshull90]

If Warhammer total war has taught us anything then it is that diversity is bad. 😅

[@the_dropbear4392]

Given that bolt throwers were kind of useless thorek making them useful is good

[@TheSakurambou]

The buff stacking gets really insane near the end game. Saw Turin getting around 160 ranged weapon strength on those bad boys. Was a treat watching them melt everything in sight.

[@sim.frischh9781]

@@Mshull90 No, just harder to handle. My Skaven armies LOVE diversity, they usually have 3 different types of Skaven Weapon teams, plus some arty.

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

@@TheSakurambou Yeah, I can't wait to play around with the character runes and banner runes and stuff and see what ridiculous combinations could be made. I would think some like the penetration or explosive rounds runes on Organ Guns would be particularly nasty :D

Nice singing Cody lmao. Thorek actually has me interested in trying out the dwarves properly for once. But also left me wishing that we got a proper engineering focused dwarf lord.

[@darthralin]

I'm really hoping that a cross-game lord pack pitting Dwarfs against Chaos Dwarfs comes along in game 3, centered around vertically-challenged engineers duking it out with SCIENCE.

[@garethharold3600]

Grim Burloksson or Malakai Makaisson would be fun! Thunderbarges (armoured zeppelins), Goblin-hewing axe throwing machines, maybe even rune golems! Although really rune golems might fit more with Thorek, I think they were more rune magic than science.

[@shaderunner8220]

Ya, a cross-game DLC in opposition to the chaos dwarf is pretty much exactly what I want. It'd be fitting, cause it'll be machine vs sorcery basically. Grim Burlocksson was the first Dwarf on my mind for this too. His character seems more than interesting enough, and getting to see units armed with grudge rakers would be awesome.

[@darthralin]

@@garethharold3600 I'd be really into seeing Burloksson as the lord and Malakai as the hero so that we'd get a pure engineering lord and a slayer-engineer hybrid hero.

It was “when the Doom music kicks in” personified and I immediately gave him the more worthy name of Kazador DOOM-Slayer in honor of that day.
