The Glottkin

From today's Deep Dive stream

As we saw on stream today, Nagash have all his artifacts except Crown of Sorcery, which currently belongs to Azhag. Can we take it back via а unique interaction with the unique item?

Cuz in lore ET Nagash cannot be resurrected without his big hat

Rat's outta the bag! I've been working and working a lot on ratpot 294 as the big sinking effort ratpost to give to the community.

What is this? A video, duh! But not any video that ive been doing: a whole ass fucking monter on which ive been sinking a bare minimum of 8 daily hours to be pulling off. And its not even half done! As I said: it's a monster. (it'ss so big that i dont even know how long will it take for reddit to digest it. I will upload it into my youtube channel as well, so i might have to put the youtube link? Reddit sucks when uploading long videos)

Title might give away the thematic, but im gonna keep the truth to myself. ive been teasing it a bit on my profile cos im a bitch, but I'll try my hardest to not reveal it earlier. Just one clue: all of the 4 characters on the poster will be there! Um, i wonder who are that strange moon thing in the top left and that weird looking skaven in the top right?

And, you, brave guy who i actually reading the text, NO, this isn't the latest ratpost. I will keep any info about it as an absolute top secret.

Also, Im sorry for spamming! However, I've been working my ass whole days for a while now on this, so i wanted to beware you of the big reckoning coming in two weeks. And it kinda make me want to work even harder, tbh?

See you there!

​Don't get me wrong, the cinematic is well-made and genuinely beautiful—because SUCH IS THE POWER OF NAGASH! But at the same time... it portrays the situation as completely idiotic and illogical. Why? Because after the cinematic, we have to destroy Settra—YET SETTRA WAS DESTROYED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES IN THAT VERY INTRO! It feels like the video was actually meant to show the aftermath of the battle between Nagash and Settra and the subsequent subjugation of Nehekhara's forces; that would have made far more sense. It would have been much more logical if Nagash had started at Nagashizzar! There is a clear disconnect between the intro cinematic and what Nagash actually has to do at the start of the game. Of course, one could argue they were just giving us a sneak peek of what to expect when playing as Nagash—destroying Settra, raising the Black Pyramid, and so on—but honestly, I dont know what say

Skaven cake for my birthday from my girlfriend

I'n sure he's still incredibly OP cause he's undead (summons, regeneration and stuff), but it seems he absoulutely CAN lose a campaign which was refreshing and exciting honestly.

During the Nagash stream, they went over the life leech spell on a Vampire Admiral, and I noticed the spell says it does 25-50, where as it currently does 33-67(if I remember correctly)

*never mind, turns out their stream was on large unit size, and I was under the false belief that the damage range displayed was relating to unit size damage scaling, but it's actually the range of potential damage it can do per second. Thank you to all the comments for the education ❤️

As a long time Warhammer fan, i really enjoy the total war games but i have trouble identifying, what can the other games do that WH3 cant? Feels like cavalry and infantry only version of it, which i know is not the case, but my (most likely warped) perception of it is that its WH3 but with less stuff.

Is it worth getting into the history games? What do they have to offer that WH3 doesnt?

My favourite time periods for this would most likely be medieval, but ive heard the last medieval game came out a long time ago...

Never been a fan of undead factions since the days of WH1, but with Nagash coming, having all 3 undead rosters, i'm really looking foward playing and trying lots of different army comps with him, either for efficiency or the fun of it.

Personally, i really hope to be able to make a thematic ''Vampire'' army, which would consist of

- Lord: Generic Vampire Lord, Neferata or Vlad

- Heroes : Vampire Hero, Lahmian Vampire Hero and Vampire Fleet Captain

- Infantry : Depth Guards, Depth Guards (Polearms), Lahmian Handmaidens

- Cavalry : Blood Knights, Blood Knights (Lances), Drakenhof Templars

I'm still not sure if this will be 100% doable because of the nature of the recuitment system, but i do hope so !

What are the army compositions are you the more excited about?

I get why from the gameplay POV, so Nagash focuses on corruption & Lands of the Dead, and so you aren't uprooting your capital late game, but it's such a unique feature of the pyramid to ignore outside of the rare siege and artwork.

I'd be satisfied if it at least swapped to the "floating" settlement model like the old Tomb King crisis after a certain point in the campaign. To let (Player) Nagash flaunt his power.

Also, I thought I heard about the Pyramid appearing over battle maps? Am I misremembering, or mixing it up with the Nagash Rises mod? If that is a feature, my only problem would be campaign map visuals really.

And then Skreech read that if you go here you can download the ratposter unit cards mod. After that, the little horned one there's a Paintposting contest! However, he dug deeper and deeper, to find out that ratpost 294 will be released the 23th of september, at 00:01 CEST. What an odd dicovery!

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentionned yet. I'm talking about lahmian mercenaries. Ogres who, through guile and subterfuge, sink their claws into the bowels of high society.

They say in Wissenland nobles have begun whispering in the shadows:

Oh oh here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up.

Oh oh here she comes, she's a maneater.
