Total War Warhammer

[Lord Hoffenburg of Hoffen]

So have any of you played this fantastic new adaption of the famous Warhammer TT series, its before GW ended the Old World which was still good, but I don't know why they ended it. It had a lot of potential. CA have put a lot of effort into this fantasy world. What do you guys think and have you played it?

No but I love the WarHammer 40K books. Especially the Inquisitors.

 

[Lord Hoffenburg of Hoffen]

Ah, I'm not into Warhammer 40k that much, that said, Warhammer is a great universe, and total war warhammer seems to be good.

... but I don't know why they ended it.

So you had to buy the new one...
GW [and every other company I guess] is like that. New rules [that don't exactly fit with the old ones] every few years. I gave up at v4 of WFB...

The old 'Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay' was a major inspiration for me, despite its flaws. Never did care for the magic system changes in the second edition. Liked the concept of 'careers' instead of AD&D 'character classes,' and I also liked the far more realistic nature of the combat system compared to AD&D. Those days, though, are decades behind me.

Local hobby shop does have weekly Warhammer tournaments.

I've been wanting to get this game so badly,
But my toaster of a PC probably wouldn't be able to run it.

The Ork campaign looks like it'll be a blast.

If I'm completely honest, I haven't much enjoyed Greenskins so far.

Vampire Counts however is ubelievably fun. Who doesn't want to rip Empire Swordsmen apart with a huge bloody Terrorgheist??
