relying on bombers and light pistol units against a heavily armored faction was definitely what did it, prometheans would have carried hard since there's no shooting
In Horus Heresy, most games are objective based, and only Line units can contest those objectives, which are usually just your core infantry units, so if you bring nothing but tanks and dreadnoughts you're going to lose on points, even if you table your opponent. That's what it sounds like The Old World needs, objectives and line units.
Sounds like something that the mod community could work on. Would take a bit more work than people think but if they got a working mod out and even remotely balanced would be cool to see a tourney or 2 ran on it.
@toejams9310 this is the tabletop you can make your own rules whenever you want unless you want to play the gw standard tourney format at actual events
Seeing the super elite units perform well in Dom always gets the endorphins flowing. Like a lot of endorphins. Urgh it feels so go - W-w-wait Mr Witch Hunter I'm not a Slaneesh worshiper I swea - *gunshot*
Well there is types of guns Vampires coast can bring on that type of maps, motards and bats ! And man long rifle bats are soo good against chaos, apart from fade of bunna chaos have 0 tools to deal whit them You keep them on top of your army and if they try to dive whit harpies or marauder horseman you just screen whit your pistol mob (summon pistol mob even better ;) ) All you need after that is a front line that last a long time -> deckhand and prometheans should do it
Indeed, however that's for competitive play. I think most people are fine with the normal "step up and fight" gameplay. Would love a more objective-based competitive format in OW though!
I been doing really well with the double Mourngul Haunter and Then a caster lord, they just seem to be so sticky and beat up a lot of elite infantry that people use to counter coast, would love to see it tried out if possible
Wish they would add some units for Coast, example how about a converted land ship but ontop of a massive crab? lore wise if you look at og man o war crabs get alot bigger or any other creature from that game. Instead they get 3 types of zombies being carried by bats.... Also the most fun unit the boomer/exploding zombie, wouldnt that make more sense if it was carried by bats and then dropped? Or make it that a shooter unit that its ammo is the zombie?

agreed, and slot point limit reductions
tabling your opponent is a win condition but if you aren't running an absolute dog shit list vs top tier units its hard to get fully tabled

Keep up the old world commentary and comparisons, great hearing your thoughts on the game.

Vampire Coast have an extremely high skill floor and ceiling. Just bringing them into a battle is impressive.
Would you say they have a skill crows nest?

"Warriors of Chaos are definitely my favorite faction to play in competitive"
SIGMAR FORBIDS THIS
Man mournguls are such a cool model... I really hope they are brought back and Vampire Coast is introduced to The Old World.
Old world without objectives has the same issues as land battle, kinda funny how that goes.

The VC player looked like he hasn't seen Warrios of Chaos in his whole life lmao
Yeah sadly infantry in the old world are just a protection system for characters and provide passive combat resolution.
The faction with the most infantry variety versus the faction with basically no infantry variety. XD

I tried picking rotknights on warriors of chaos in solqueue but all that comes up is 4 hellstriders and skirmisher cav the rest is greyed out
Hmm, that is strange, no idea there!
Possibly dumb question, but: do you own the relevant DLC for rotknights?

Wish we had these beautiful maps in Campaign
I wish this map was in quick battle

💚A pox on the undead!💚
The Old Realm!
Chaos vs coast is like a 90/10 win rate lol
According to tourney stats, its 55-45 for WOC
What the dog doin
Ouch, so many micro mistakes from Vampire Coast.
