At least they're not ap.

Terminally underrated comment

Sisters of icelorn lol

I just realised from this video that some of them are actually wearing big fluffy girly headbands. I always thought all of them were wearing hats.

They shall be billions.

That's why he keeps saying Lords on heroes. He wants Katarin to ride him.

@@IIBloodXLustII Can't blame him tbh

yo wtf

Ra ra Rasputin, lover of Kislev's Queen

​@@argokarrus2731 This version: Ra-Ra-Rasputin, HATER of the Russian Queen

Ok wtfI thought Boris Ursus was just a prank

Really, when did they say that?

Saw more of the video, never mind.

for me they are like human sisters of avelorn)

@@KeterGold Sisters of Kislev

You mean putting RU-vidrs out of a job?

@@kennethma861 Umm, no? I just meant it would be cool if CA recognised Zerk's hard work and dedication to the series

Yeah I think he underrated the Dervishes’ offensive power, with that solid charge bonus it ranks as pretty decent light cavalry damage wise compared to other races… however with no shield and a pathetic 15 armor they are weaker defensively than their counterparts, quite fragile indeed.

@@briancline7349 not to much more squishy then the elf ones. The elf light cav is probably a bit stronger, but it's really good compared to tomb kings/brettonia.

the high elves also don't have lords on heroes. 🤣

@@zebjensen4251 Lords on heroes to op plz nerf

@@Olav_Hansen just imagin nikai riding a skink or the meow yin on an alchemist or any number of other combos. 🤣

There's a leopard too.

I'm still trying to figure out if I should use ranged or melee against Tzeentch units. 🤔

@@ctdaniels7049 Quite sure the bears would do

SKARBRAND HATES WALKING!! * grabs nearest cultist *

Not to mention the roster are abit more larger, more diverse with all the hybrid & flexible units.

BRING ME TO MY MEN

SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!!!

Well, that is very Kislev of them. Constantly being in the shadow of Chaos tends to make a people tough

Usually that's bad tho. Jack of all trades master of none, if you can keep your ranged units protected they'll be much better if they're ranged only compared to having some decent melee but never use it.

He would have been a lot cooler if he got some unique mount like a shrine of some kind

I agree with you both. Easily my first lord in 3.

@@zernst2798 He does not need one and a shrine would mean that he really is just Kislev's Volkmar.

@@PG19871230 Well he is a warpriest so thats pretty much what he is. But Katarina on a sled and him on a shrine would add diversity to kislev mounts

Well, I did champaign with him, and got to Belakor, but my army of armored kossars, strelsi and horse archers can't do much, and I can't auto-resolve, for some reason.

It’s more like a bombard

Was hoping for a cannon but Little Grom will have to do lol.

Bretonnian elite knights don't run away much either

I would suggest you to play WH2 Brettonia with the Radious Total War mod. Thats what human factions needed. Lots of new strong melee infantry and missile.

@@dearghostl.a6737 in radious every faction got everything

Sounds about right. No soft town dwelling folk in the Kislevite army.

Look up units mods for the empire. They are amazing. Alot of new artillery, the reikgsuard infantry plus many different knightly orders.

empire def should, but i think this is a hard counter for vampire counts because they have 0 ranged, and seems that every unit of kislev is a range hybrid

@@tzad2104 Seems to be a very small army though. No units with more then 68 models, while most factions have lots of 100-120 model units.

@@tzad2104 Khorne will shit on Vampire counts already.

@@bortoo6634 aye

im not sure yet how excited to be, i love the versatility through a shittonne of dlcs all the rosters have now in wh1+2 and yes i know a lot more will come for the new once guaranteed, but until then... well i dont see so much buildpossibilities in any of the new factions, i mean how many different units are there? 10 per faction? thats kinda meh.

@@Chris_KAy Couldn't agree more, very low versatility compared to what we're used to but that's a new AAA game for ya.

Yeah, you could fit double the amount of people riding on those things and give them larger rifles (hence more damage per shot) because they can use the sides of the wagon as support for the weapons, and give halberds for the two frontal units to use when charging. But I think just the ranged buff could be enough since they could work as 360-degree firing arc version of the Outriders. Double the amount of horses too to make them faster to do that job better.

Dlc units probably.

Yeah, figure similar to how high elfs had no anti armor options at launch the artillery is lacking to push a lord pack that'll come rather early in the dlc lists. I guess on campaign you can hire empire arty with alliances but still, Kislev I thought used to have some arty options. The kislev reborn mod grand cannon feels great for example, massive thing by no means good to make up an artillery line to rival emp or dwf but amazing at reaching out and making itself felt.

First mod on Steam: Unit Size +1 Description: Nice.

They're saving that for slannesh. 😁

well it is the standard size for missile infantery in warhammerTW in large unit size

Ko Ko Kostaltyn, hater of the Kislev Queen! There was a cat that really was gone!

Seems kinda like they have some similarity to Lizardmen and Dwarfs in that, in the "You're getting your ass kicked, but they break and flee first" sort of way. Except bears, instead of artillery or dinos.

They are not chock cavalry, so they should not have a good charge bonus.

It's fine the way it is. They're most likely going to have extremely high mass, which means they will push into enemy units further than other cav and disrupt them just as much or more. Then on top of that they're more effective in prolonged combat, making them capable of more damage output with less micro.

Makes sense considering bears arent that fast (compared to horses)

@@mr.joesterr5359 Grizzlies can run around 35mph soooo might want to rethink that XD

@@jademerrydown2943 You might want to rethink your comment since a horse can run around 55mph which is 1.6 times as fast, so bears in fact aren't that fast compared to horses

Especially with how many of their units are hybrids, its pretty sick and unique.

King or Tsar?

I think you actually have to unlock him. Could be wrong, but that's what I was reading.

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Ya, i found that out in another video, damn. :(

I don't like how Cathay has to stand still. That's like a bonus that isn't a bonus, it's more like a sacrifice. Yin Yang can actually boost performance, but standing still could lower performance. I think that's why they're so weak in MP so far.

@@will.roman-ros but since Cathay has superior ranged units to almost anyone, they can force the enemy to engage them on their terms. You just need a couple fire rain rockets, sky junks, or cannons.

@@lukeberghaus272 you may be right, but gameplay I've watched, I rarely see Cathay win or use those units to good effect. Bc if they field even half their army as missiles, the infantry are too squishy to defend. Less than half missiles and Cathay doesn't seem to have the killing power to win, unless they have 2 sentinels, which appears their best build. So the best builds utilize their single entities (LL, heroes, and sentinels) and flying cav, not their infantry, missiles, or sky junks. Against Nurgle, sure, missiles are prob best builds. I simply haven't seen Cathay missiles "melt" anything. I assume the lower reload - without harmony, means they get less volleys before the enemy gets tied in. And bc harmony means the infantry have to be close, a monster stopped 35 m away, is so close to just initiate a charge on those missiles, and Cath arty further back, needs like a cheap melee unit to get its harmony, where I assume the already longer reload for arty would suffer immensely without harmony. So in all this, my greater point is that harmony attracts one to pick a less effective army (eg: you didn't want a cheap melee unit, or didn't want a sky junk, but did so for the buffs), and after that suboptimal outcome, on the battlefield you now have to position the suboptimal army - sub optimally. Or, you sacrifice the buffs - meant to balance the faction, for your ideal army comp and positioning. So you pretty much never get an optimal outcome. Cathay appears to lose a lot for all these reasons.

@@will.roman-ros I’m actually surprised the sky junk isn’t meta vs Khorne or Slaanesh, and the cannon against Ogres and Nurgle. Fire Rain Rocket itself is the most awkward one to try and make work though. It seems like it should stay as a potential reinforcement to bring in if the enemy massed infantry.

@@lukeberghaus272 khorne and slaanesh still have furies and bloodthirster. But otherwise, battles I've seen Cathay balloons and arty, they were not impactful enough for me to care, as long as i got tied in to melee. Cathay is better off bringing xbows and infantry. The flying cav and sentinals are their power melee.

Yes.
