Definitely one of my favorite battles you've posted! SFO just makes battles so much more epic and long lasting, and you talking about the tactics and strategy really made this seem like a classic themed Warhammer Fantasy Battle Report!
Something I have noticed that you do in your replays, which I love, is that you don’t state which of the two armies were yours until the end. It’s all about the tactics and the fight itself first. And then you mention which one was yours and what could have changed. I love that format.
A very entertaining and thematic battle! But I honestly did not expect Cathay to be able to turn the battle to their advantage after seeing the first stages of it.
1:00 When I played Eshin in TWWHII their regular weeping blades had -50% armor (sunder) debuff and smoke bombs? I feel gaslighted, is there any difference from the original units to SFO ?
Seeing that close up of peasants and seeing the two pronged spear made me think of the peasants using them when a ogre is about to swing its weapon to lock the hand in a backwards position in the wind up Thought it would be cool to get some kind of peasant looking Cathay ROR, like poor Beast Slayers of Castonne or something Maybe make them good against large, more speed, smoke bomb or stalk, hefty morale boost... some kind of elite peasant avenger troops who hunt down/specialise against large opponents
Love that you’ve taken to calling the RoR Terracotta Sentinel ‘Shenlong’. Wufei is definitely the most underrated pilot from Wing and his Gundam is a monster
I would've taken some Jezzails to help with Cathay's armor and I'd say they still fit thematically since it makes sense that assassin rats would use snipers.
Try again! Would be fun to watch. Bring AP and Poison Gutter runners (maybe 1 or 2 death runners for stealth support), a couple of Triads in case of cav, a ton of chaff and of course melee deathrunners. If arty, bring warplightning, even 1 is better than 3 plagueclaws in this scenario I think. Skitch and another assassin and focus ALL YOUR MICRO ON THEM in when _not_ stealthed or disengaged, TRY ASSASSINATE THEIR CHARACTERS OR SINGLE UNITS trust me it works :D (may need some practice/hit and run/disappear/reengage)
Skaven look to big, compared to cathay they the same size sometimes bigger. I wish there was a mod that made ALL skaven half the size of a human. I love your videos, i had some ideas that i thought would be interesting. New combat animations mod is out. Maybe a highlight look at that? Some overhaul mod Highlights. I know the big ones are Radious and SFO maybe theres more? Maybe some Radious mod battles? Tutorial comparison overhaul mods. Maybe a video showing the differences in overhauls so people know what they would like to download.
I’m torn in SFO, I used it in 1, and some of early 2, but I felt it got too..crowded. Like they made SO many changes, added in SO many abilities, even basic tier 1 starting unit had a bunch of stuff. Not to mention, EVERY buff had a malus too. Some abilities I agree if they’re strong, give them a downside too. But I’d much prefer if the majority of skills were toned down then, so they didn’t require the malus, and were just a nice little plus. Did love how buildings added units to garrisons though, and the extra units were great. What’s the state of it now, did they tidy up the special abilities? Or have they gone even harder, where empire archers can get 50% extra ap but lose 50% fire rate.
@Tin Can O-Beans Yeah I suppose it could just be a coincidence. Black 13 is a very malevolent and powerful object in the Dark Tower series though, the most dangerous bend of Merlin's Rainbow. Cool either way I suppose.

Truth be told, I’d love to see a full Clan Moulder army with Throt The Unclean and Ghoritch would be fun to see!
did one a few months ago with Throt and Ghoritch, but can try and work another in when a good opportunity comes
I've been anxiously awaiting the return of SFO to the channel
Definitely one of my favorite battles you've posted! SFO just makes battles so much more epic and long lasting, and you talking about the tactics and strategy really made this seem like a classic themed Warhammer Fantasy Battle Report!
"Long lasting"
It lasted about as long as any battle of this size would...
@@tincano-beans2114 yeah honestly SFO battles dont typically last any longer than vanilla wh2 in my experience
glad you enjoyed it!
Zhao Ming kicking the shit out of the Skaven for trying to steal his warp coca- I mean warp stone.
I like the black bar hiding the balance of power.
Oh god, I love rats with knives and warp cocaine
Haha warp cocaïne 😂😂😂
SFO has been 95% my almost only way to play warhammer tw since early tw 2 tbh, vanilla just doesn't cut it for very long for me
This was a good one, I just love themed matches 🙂

Looked like skaven just had this in the bag, what a crazy turnaround
Aw yeah SFO is back baby! Also can we talk about how pretty that map is? Cathay has some stunning views.
Cathay being forced to basically adopt a defence in depth was really cool to see
More SFO! These are much better to watch than vanilla imo; much longer, more maneuver and back-and-forth compared to vanilla land battles.
This was a great battle!
The black 13 vs the Ubersreik 5 sounds like a cool crossover episode.
Love to see you back covering Warhammer, pure a personal preference btw
Yes! Love SFO and Cathay, can't wait for them to get some more DLC!
Eshin fighting in the far east is so deliciously thematic!!!
This themed battle was dope, the Clan Eshin build looked awesome and vs Zhao Ming it was very cinematically pleasing. Nice video indy.
Wow, this battle just felt so epic! I'd love to see more of this in the future!
Wonderful battle! I really enjoyed it! Thank you!
Love this SFO coverage 👍
The dragon statue in the intro be like: Drugs are sooooooo damn fine...
i love SFO battles so much
thanks man love sfo content
Loved this one MaC
A very entertaining and thematic battle!

Snikch has got to be one of the best animated legendary lords in the game
Seeing that close up of peasants and seeing the two pronged spear made me think of the peasants using them when a ogre is about to swing its weapon to lock the hand in a backwards position in the wind up
Thought it would be cool to get some kind of peasant looking Cathay ROR, like poor Beast Slayers of Castonne or something
Maybe make them good against large, more speed, smoke bomb or stalk, hefty morale boost... some kind of elite peasant avenger troops who hunt down/specialise against large opponents
Respect for the themed build anyways, ggwp.
Great to see the SFO content, completely changes the game to what it should have been in the first place
I know these themed armies usually are not meta, ideal, and sometimes they are not even 'good'.
But they are so much more interesting to watch.
That was an incredible battle 👏!
So happy to see no domination game mode. Just straight up war
Ia love how the comunity just decided tht the terracota ror is just the jolly green giant
Love that you’ve taken to calling the RoR Terracotta Sentinel ‘Shenlong’. Wufei is definitely the most underrated pilot from Wing and his Gundam is a monster
That was literally the nickname everyone was using for it the day it was announced. You're several months late to the party.
honestly would love to see an SFO 2v2 tournament
Dude you’re awesome
Love me the thematic battles
I would've taken some Jezzails to help with Cathay's armor and I'd say they still fit thematically since it makes sense that assassin rats would use snipers.
Would love to hear a video on how you want nagash to be implemented in the future (campaign pack, lord pack, FLC)
My brain would hurt from all the micro of such large fund battles 😂 i don’t know how you do it! Must be best twwh3 player 2023 for sure. Ahha
We need multiplayer replays of Grimhammer
In campaign, I use plague of rust + constellation of the dragon to devastating effect.
Rat Ra's Al Ghul, my favorite Skaven
Try again! Would be fun to watch.

I think using rat ogres instead of the catapults would have made a huge difference.
commenting for algorithm, keep it up
Black 13 would eventually meet their end in Lustria when they fought the Star Chamber Guardian of Mazdamundi
Cheers
Cathay needs some Guandao Infantry. Skaven shouldn’t be the only ones to have these units
I love watching total war games my problem is being good at them XD
Skaven look to big, compared to cathay they the same size sometimes bigger. I wish there was a mod that made ALL skaven half the size of a human.

ooh, i thought it was vs cathayan AI army.
Hi Indy, are your PC specs up to date? Are you still using 3080 and i9900? If so could you please share or update yours specs?
Why i cannot find the SFO in workshop? or is it on modbb or nexus?
its in the workshop first page of most subscribed SFO grimhammer 3 storm of chaos
GG

Cathey love their warpstone but not enough as the skaven
black 13? is that a mod?
yes, SFO Grimhammer is the mod
Any other Stephen King fans? I love the Black 13 nod towards Dark Tower lore.
Is it a nod? 13 is the sacred skaven number. Seems like a perfectly skaven name to me.
@Tin Can O-Beans Yeah I suppose it could just be a coincidence. Black 13 is a very malevolent and powerful object in the Dark Tower series though, the most dangerous bend of Merlin's Rainbow. Cool either way I suppose.
@@AndresJames54 could be both
Ratses. Simple-basic as.
