It's basically certain we will have Arabia at that point, which is a kitsch version of a fantasized 1001 night's muslim world. Of course GW could have made their arabs into some really badass à la Fremen desert people, or make an effort not to go full magic carpet, genie in the bottle, snake charmers, orientalist imperialistic cliches. I still will be happy when they make it to the game, they are badly needed. Northern not Africa needs a race of its own, and there are simply too many undeads and dinosaurs in that part of the world at that point. It will be cool to have another human faction too, actually, even though you have guessed I am not too enthusiastic about the lore of those guys. In Cathay and Nippon will certainly never make it, unless CA goes really bat shit nuts. They are simply not on the map, are not fleshed out enough and are a bit irrelevant altogether. | ||

there really isn't any really fleshed out factions left for TWW3. anything we get will be hopefully a collab between TGW and CA on whats left. | ||

For TW:3 we have Ogre Kingdoms and Chaos Dwarfs as new factions. They could take a background faction (like Araby) and turn them into an actual army but it would be a much bigger undertaking then any other faction to date. Norsca for example was the most 'new' faction and it still uses 90% existing models, only making up some new variations of existing units. | ||

EDIT: And they moved flagellants to the shrine of sigmar, so it's now a tier 3 unit. Balls. | ||

Araby is a warmaster faction, which is really good enough at that point. They are also already "on the map" with placeholder factions such as the Bretonnian crusaders and so on. I would be REALLY surprised if they weren't the next DLC race. Amazon faction is totally superfluous and I don't think we will ever see it. I would love to, but I don't see it happening. The main thing in WH3 will obviously be Demons of chaos. There is no question about that. The only thing really open is whether they make it four races, chaos divided style (they were planning that last year according to a leak) and have Chaos Dwarfs and gres as DLC, or if DoC is going to be a single race. | ||

The auto-resolve seems to be quite a bit different as well. And holy shit, they gave helblaster volley guns a 66%(!!!) damage buff. EDIT: And they moved flagellants to the shrine of sigmar, so it's now a tier 3 unit. Balls. Damn it. I like flagellants  RoR needed some rework. At that point they were seriously BS. I spent my last campaign keeping all my ROR open so that I could raise an army instantly wherever in my empire to crush rebellionsor repel invasion. Disolve your army, repeat next turn at the otehr side of the map. Yawn. What is this s... with the hellblaster? I mean, I remember from TT that it was an absolutely terrifying piece of artillery, but 66% on an already fairly good unit, that's gonna hurt. | ||

It's also a good opportunity to flesh out chaos warriors. Well, there are like 6 units per god in the lore, so they will have to freestyle quite a lot to flesh those out. I also really, really hope it's four factions, so that the game is a bit less monotonous and we don't end up facing the same ennemy again, and again, and again as we do now. | ||

They would need to do a lot of work to update that Araby, but they could do it. Most of the stuff from the Araby faction is from around the late 1990s anyways, so it could use it. | ||

Between the new stuff they have put out over the years and Forgeworld you can drum up a pretty good daemon roster for each god. Slaanesh might be a skimpy (pun intended). | ||

Also: "Chameleon Skinks: -2 MD" but Saurus are untouched and Chaos gets buffs across the board after being massively buffed a few patches ago? | ||

They are shockingly fast for infantry and that weapon defense is not to be under estimated. And agreed. Quick match is not providing my trash skaven swarm a challenge. | ||

I messed around a bit with helblasters in custom battles. They are absolutely murderous now if you can get the targeting right. The problem is that they tend to fire at the flanks of targeted units rather than the center. However, if you force fire into the center of a blob, shit just disappears. I was vaporizing Chaos Warriors like they were nothing. | ||

Anyone got a good way to get out of the starting blocks with TKs? Edit: Discovering that I'm not sleeping tonight for some reason I managed to get past the starting area. The way forward I think is being agressive and wipeing out the orcs as fast as possible as settra. After that start its variably smooth and I'm really digging their playstyle now. | ||
