Total War: Warhammer

[Darkpriest]

Some really nice art assets:

 

 

This is just getting me crave more for Obsidian made RPG on this license... I mean c'mon - TB/RTT game can evoke such a climate, imagine if you'd have storyline and characters to back that up...

 

HINT to Obs.: Get your hands on this license!

I long for isometric party based cRPG set in Warhammer Fantasy by Obsidian   

[Eumaios]

I'm probably not thinking necessarily as quickly as I should, but I can't image a real Warhammer game that isn't turn based. Sadly, I think the jerks at Obsidian have turned their backs on turn based, which is really sad. The whole idea of Warhammer is tactical turn based combat.

At this point it makes no difference to me, be it turn-based or RTWP; just enough with RTS already.

Thanks for the heads up! It's an oldie, but I'll take a gander at GoG to see if they've got it.

 

Damn, it's real time. Sigh Aw well, can't win 'em all.

Ahh, I read it as if you wanted an example of a realtime tactical WH game.

 

I'm a big fan of turnbased games myself, I did read an interview where Obsidian had pitched a Warhammer 40K Inquisitor game, I was sort of glad that it didn't come to be, I'd have been dissapointed that it wasn't based on Dark Heresy instead.

 

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-09-12-obsidians-pitch-drawer-snow-white-dwarves-prey-warhammer-40k-star-wars

 

The Warhammer 40,000 pitch, meanwhile, was ill-fated from the start, what with THQ owning the licence at the time, and THQ being down the swanny (THQ would go bankrupt in December 2012). But Obsidian remembers it fondly. "That was a cool pitch," Urquhart says - and now Slitherine owns the Warhammer 40K IP who knows?

 

"The Warhammer 40K pitch is 28 pages - I just looked at it a little while ago," Chris Parker says while Urquhart, in perfect synchronisation, finds and opens the pitch on his computer and scrolls through it. It's very decorative and detailed but I don't catch any detail as he whizzes through.

 

"We wrote a small novel about how awesome this game would be," Parker says. "The idea was: there's a pen and paper off-shoot of 40K about the Inquisition, and it's more individual character-based and you travel around different planets." He's referring to Inquisitor, the 2001 Warhammer 40K spin-off focused on a small group of characters: a shadowy Inquisitor with a couple of henchmen, and carte blanche to root out evil in the world (Games Workshop doesn't support Inquisitor any more but rulebooks are available online). A perfect set-up for an Obsidian RPG if ever I heard one. "We built this role-playing game about you being this new Inquisitor and having these crazy resources and going to all these planets," Parker says, "and there's nothing that's not at war in Warhammer 40K."

Now you're taunting me! /drools/

The guys who made Mordenheim are currently working on a similar videogame of Necromunda, arguably the best GW game ever. I hope they include 'It came from the Sump' as one of the missions, either in the campaign or a scenario (From what I remember it was basically John Carpenter's 'The Thing' as a turn-based stratergy).

[Eumaios]

I just got back into my Mordheim warband. I'm playing mercenaries, but I see at least one new faction. Some sort of ghastly undead assortment. Put the hammer down the redeaded freaks a couple times now. I'd like to be able to play an elvish warband. I love the sisters of Sigmar. I've had a lot of fun with the sniper set merc faction. I haven't warmed as much to the witch hunting bunch and I have no use for chaos or vermin... other than target practice. I've never played Necromunda, either on board or on computer, but I'd be interested in it. The Mordheim game is absolutely brilliant.

[Darkpriest]

I like the choice of the art for intros:

 

 

Did I say I want RPG by Obsidian covering this license/setting?

[Osvir]

Warhammer 2 out today! Anyone want to try out co-op/Head-to-Head megacampaign later? :D

[Chilloutman]

just downloading

[evilcat]

The Warhammer Fantasy crpg would be great. A lot of pen and paper fans to base on, World somehow different from cute asian mmo settings, Potencial in flexibility of character system. And so much lore and stories already there.

[Osvir]

I remember Feargus saying that he isn't that interested in a CRPG based on Warhammer (unfortunately). It was during the closing stream of the Deadfire Fig, he was answering questions and I proposed Pillars of Warhammer, I don't exactly recall Feargus answer, and I don't think they uploaded the Stream from the Fig ending Party, but I think he conveyed the general meaning of "Warhammer is oversaturated".

I would provide link to video and timestamp but, like I said, I can't find any recording/upload of the stream.

You should try organising an Obsidian Warhammer TW league. We did it with Blood Bowl, it was a lot of fun especially if you keep people updated about how it's going on the forum.

Hard to tell. There is Total War, and Mordheim and Vermite... but in the same time no crpg.

It is kinda like pleanty of modern shooters, but not so many moder crpg.

Also: we have so many Star Wars games, long time ago in galaxy far, far away.

 

But im fine with whatever Obsidian choose. Especially if it will be another take on world of darness style. Lol.

[redneckdevil]

Well reading Warhammer books.... obsidian is awesome when it comes to writing, but Warhammer fun isn't in it's story though. Not saying Warhammer writing is bad, it just seems obsidian is more used to deeper waters whereas Warhammer seems more about the game and playing. If that makes any sense.

[firkraag888]

OMG this is a good game. Please try this game it will change your life.

 

I've been playing it for 3 days straight now.

 

So addictive

Don't get me wrong, I love the Warhammer universe and I believe Obsidian would make a great cRPG out of it as well, if it was a Party based RTwP type game (Or First Person Elder Scrolls/Fallout-esque RP adventure).

 

I was just recalling what Feargus was talking about. It might've had something to do with R&D too (lots of research and development, time sinks = money sinks), and that Obsidian is still relatively small(?). I just don't remember, I just remember he responded to "Pillars of Warhammer" and he wasn't too optimistic or positive about it

Eeeeh :/ I dunno. I'm not very good, I mostly enjoy the campaign mode

 

You can also only play the new races currently in Custom Battle. Anyone know if that will change in the future? (Dwarves vs Skaven, for instance)

 

Maybe it'll be a better time to play a tournament when CA have "merged" the games?

I wish i didn't have 4y gaming laptop - got some other priorities than tossing 2k USD for a good rig - otherwise i'd gladly join in either co-op or head to head campaign

 

so far at turn 120, doing 4th ritual, having whole ulthuan + southern lustria and turtle islands + allianca with the only other HE faction - colonists from the fortress south of southlands

 

now preparing for defense of ulthuan and then maybe strike at Naggarond - or just holding seas until my last ritual

[Chilloutman]

I just hope I will not have to buy Blood and Gore DLC AGAIN

[Torm51]

Ya it's good. I need a 4th cannon watcher though.

[Chilloutman]

there is already thread for total war: warhammer...

[Gfted1]

Moved and merged.
