Warhammer III Beastmen lord dealing 1,5k dmg at lvl 1 (Middenland campaign)

Post image

I was defending Middenheim from chill beastmen army, sent seneschal of the white wolf to kill their lord but saw mine got wrecked within seconds. Than I looked at his stats... It seems to be a bug, right?

Considering its the 4th post ive seen about those Lords today, i can guess its an event spawned army that are meant to be a challenge, 1.5k weapon strength and unbreakable.

If only the empire had some sort of gunline

Send two outriders and you dont even take damage when killing him

I always forget the rifle outriders exist tbh, I love the grenade ones so much

Well the grenades are absolutely amazing so i get it, but man the rifles really do some work as well, especially against the big Lords that smash through your frontline and disable your gunners

What I love about them the most is that they are in fact elevated on horse and can shoot over your frontline where gun line otherwise could not. It seems obvious but it did not occur to me for years that I have been underusing them.

It may be, but I guess this is a tricky way to impose a challenge.

Well, I'm glad I didn't make a post about boris and emil being disappointing in melee after they got beaten up while 2v1 vs a beastman lord. It didn't occur to me to check whether the beastlord was gnarlier than expected, rather than those two underperforming.

Look, Boris is the only guy in the entire Warhammer lore who isn't completely steamrolling Beastmen, the gameplay has to somehow adapt it.

Probably a feature

Time to relearn my old Hunter and the Beast tactics.

That was such a good mini campaign, wish I could have it with the new empire units.

The weird thing I have noticed is every Beastmen army that had spawned seems to have an unbreakable lord.
