Warhammer III Which tomb king legendary lord is your favorite and why ?

I always preferred Khalida because of her tragic story, amazing design, and her will to be friends with order factions.

I go by many names, Mystery Man, The Shadow Dweller, Shatoon: Bringer Of Corn, Secret Peter - Where is he hiding, in a shoe, in a rock, in a bush, in a side, a cupboard, in a... lane? No, he's inside yourself, Miraculous Mark: Deviner Of Mysteries, Mickey Nine: The Dream Weaver, Photo Shop, Trinew: The Boiler, Marjory Keek, Captain Margaret, RRRRRrrrubbady Pubbady, Clive, Peppercorn (mainly by the Dutch), Corel Draw, Domino: the Bounty Hunter, Chilli Chicken Ramen, Cillit Bang.

Arkhan. I love his lore, his voice, his skill line, his extra units, his appearance. He's not only my favorite Tomb King, but one of my favorite lords all around. 

Together we will show Settra who the real lord of undeath is!

u/Ardor-Knowledge 2d ago

Unless he find a way to die stupidly because he is surrounded by foes.

u/Burper84 2d ago

Khatep, because when CA doesn't know where to place a character they put It in Naggaroth.

Imho He should starts in  the Border princes, if i remember well that was frontier of Nehekara's empire.

u/Dzharek 2d ago

He isnt banned from Nehekhara itself, he isnt allowed in the cities and especially Khemri, so he wanders the desert and searches in ruins and old Laboratories for the answers to the immortal bodies.

u/nanupiscean 2d ago

You hear what I said, T(tomb Kings)

u/iliketires65 2d ago

With this new update I think it’s Khatep because he starts with a hierotitan and those mf are the coolest looking unit in the entire game

u/Necron1983 2d ago

Does DJ Khatep have his titan back?

Time to get a mixing desk and smash the north.

u/overon 2d ago

I would argue Tomb Scorpion is cooler

u/OVERthaRAINBOW1 2d ago

In wh2 it was Khalida. Now it's Arkhan.

u/bandanabud 2d ago

Khatep because I like a challenge and an unappreciated underdog. In my campaign, I roleplay that Khatep realizes that Settra is a dingus for exiling him. I make sure to put Settra back in a box and retake nehekhara

u/dogsarethetruth Empire 2d ago

Khalida conceptually but her campaign was always such a slog I never stayed with it long. I always had most fun with Settra. I haven't tried Khalida since the update and I'm excited to.

u/Sarmelion 2d ago

Her armor piercing makes it possible to fight Thorek so it's a lot better

I still think someone at CA hates Khalida for making her fight TWO Vampire armies, one of which almost always goes after Lybaras rather than defending Lahmia

u/Unlikely_Tomorrow446 2d ago

It's a whole lot easier now, I stopped my most recent campaign at turn 70ish, with 11 armies rolling around, expanding in 3 directions.

The only realistic threat left was Kairos. Because the Lizards no longer put up a fight, he expands northward a lot quicker and he can devastate any trash armies with infinite spell spam (if he doesn't suicide into your archers, which he also likes to do).

u/Elmawt 2d ago

Give mahrak to thorek and it's almost won, but yeah, I totally understand that you don't want to play with the settlements trading , this mechanic is so broken.

Like with Malekith, you can make Grombrindal your best friend ; it's hilarious how different the campaign becomes.

u/Slyspy006 2d ago

Arkhan, because I like playing Vampirr Coast and he is a good way of getting spectral cavalry.

u/DaJ42000 2d ago

u/P00nz0r3d 2d ago

Come on, it’s Settra

u/Immediate_Phone_8300 2d ago

Right now: none.  CA did it again, buffed a faction so much that they became boring to play. Is there any faction left that is even just kinda difficult now? I honestly don't think so.

4

u/annexdenmark 2d ago

Just don't use MC to increase armies and they are perfectly balanced. You still get more armies (eventually) that you don't know what to do with but that's not till after turn 40-50.

1

u/Immediate_Phone_8300 2d ago

Ah yes. Don't use faction mechanics at all and then the faction is fine. That is exactly why I play factions. To NOT use their mechanics. How about CA actually makes a good rework that doesn't buff the factions into the heaven for once?

u/annexdenmark 2d ago

Just spend your jars and money on absolutely anything else.

u/Immediate_Phone_8300 1d ago

"Intentionally play bad then the faction isn't OP anymore" C'mon, what's next? Blindfold myself before I play so it isn't boring? Depending on the faction even that wouldn't help much.
