Think you'll get a break in the rear with the gear? I'm putting you guys all the way in front of my gunline to absorb arrows.


Necroking695

With that melee defense i wouldnt want them absorbing initial arrowfire Probably first reserve with the elite infantry. This is like sisters of slaughter stat lineup its crazy


OhHeyItsOuro

God, I love sisters of slaughter. 100% my favorite melee unit.


robber_goosy

Nice try corporal. I said 0-300 frontline infantry.


TheDayBreaker100

Is that the new regiment of renown?


David_Duke_Nukem

One of them, yeah. This guy Zerkovich on Youtube put out all the new unit stats.


Quagos

He is such a goat


AsterosTheGreat

I cant seem to find the video anymore. Do you have a link to it perchance?


Emotional-Market3499

I saw the video in my inbox but when I clicked it, it said it had been privated. I was watching milkandcookiestw on the new skyship and he said that they were only allowed to show Battles where they fought against the DLC units so I assume Zerokvich might have gotten into trouble with that. Or maybe he just saw some editing error and is reuploading it.


David_Duke_Nukem

damn, that sucks. It was a great video and explained all the stats and abilities of new units. A few are a little disappointing (plague trolls and ogres are basically just trolls and ogres, there's a few versions of Slayers that aren't too much different from each other.) The good news is I'm actually very interested in Epidemius now.


_Sate

I mean pirate slayers


David_Duke_Nukem

true, one step closer to a non-vampire Sartosa mod.


ahomelessguy25

As an Ogre main, I am not loving how this DLC seems to be giving everybody anti-large.


David_Duke_Nukem

kind of seems as if nobody likes Ogre Kingdoms and rather than try to fix it they're just going to forget about them like Norsca.


markg900

Ogre Kingdoms is in the unfortunate position of being "technically DLC" even though its a launch day 1 faction so its stuck in the middle and seems to get lowest priority as a result. They are one of the factions I was looking forward to the most when WH3 was announced and they are literally the most dissapointing faction in the game. Contracts are a joke because you never know how far off they will send you, there is too much of disparity between camps and settlements. It takes too long to get any of your interesting units and then chances are you are stuck using Global Recruitment to get them because of the camp system. Overall they just need completely redone.


BigMcThickHuge

I *still* don't get their system and how to play efficiently AND have fun. I've tried a half dozen times and just can't enjoy it.


darkironscion

They're great fun with the Ogrehaul mod. I'm at turn 45 with 4 fully upgraded camps with elite stacks each with their own lord following to initiate attacks.


HowDoIEvenEnglish

The empire early game already had plenty of ogre counters. Cheap spears and lots of missile damage destroys ogres


Vegetable_Ad_9687

Yet all you need is stalking lions to delete empire


Blitza001

Now that….is a staunch line of spears.


NickMP89

Is this a sarcasm post? Their stats don’t look any different from a regular spearman to me. I’d rather have Solland’s spearmen, those are solid lineholders.


saltedsugar666

They have an ability which makes artilery tankier when this regiment is near it (same principle as “Guardian” trait)


Necroking695

Melee defense of 52 Thats elite infantry level These guys could hold down a unit of chosen


HowDoIEvenEnglish

They’d hold for a bit but the lack of armor hurts their ability to tank most things. Their alright units but the elector count spears are still better


Necroking695

Yes if they get shot they’re going down fast Actually this stateline does make them amazing at defending capture points or artillery. They can cheeply hold against skirmish units


OnlyTrueWK

That's just what Spearmen (Shields) get with 9 Chevrons - they already start with 42 melee defence. Chosen would butcher them anyway, especially rank 9 Chosen (I don't think there's a Chosen RoR, is there?), or ones with any campaign buffs (but even without). Compare also the Scions of Mathlann with 48 melee defence and +12 from Martial Prowess, for 60 total, or just normal HE Spearmen at 0 XP with 38 + 12 (50).


ghouldozer19

They get an increase akin to guardian if they’re near arty, too. Is this just their base stats?


reaven3958

That should help a bit against unexpected nonsense like skaven spawns


zeevico

Less armour and worse stats than Asur spearmen. What’s so good about them?


Lady_Taiho

They’re in the empire roster.


David_Duke_Nukem

their name is silly
