Wouldn't halflings be worse at fighting than goblins while also being less numerous?

[Mech#4]

Yes, but their better archers at least. In Blood Bowl they rely on weight of numbers even more than a Skaven team, but even then they're backed up by Treents.

I'd buy a DLC that introduces treant-launched dagger-armed halfling warriors

[Shadowgandor]

I'd buy any Total War Warhammer DLC

They have some good trackers and skirmishers as well, not to mention their cooks can prepare meals mighty enough that people are willing to die for it (or bribe the nearest ogre tribe)

They have some of the best names for their mercenaries though.

There's also the halfling hot pot "siege engine".

I imagine most armies in the game would eat halflings for breakfast. Sometimes literally as well as figuratively.

I really should point out that the halflings are deceptively weak, the Moot is smack dab on the border of Sylvania, they deal with vampires, zombies, and skeletons on a rather daily basis and actually tend towards their strengths. The problem with halflings is that most of them tend towards laziness.

[Teneb]

Yeah, their main strength, so to speak, is that they are without question the best cooks ever. Thing is that their culture and even their religion only encourage the following activities: eating, staying at home, eating, making food, eating, smoking, eating. Also they are miniature, non-retarded prototype ogres I guess.

[Mech#4]

I see halflings as the butt-monkeys of the Warhammer world. Fat, useless and they remind me of Marvin Underbelly, the boss from Overlord.

I wonder what would have happened if Ogres ad Halflings had teamed up together. Uh, after the halfings managed to convince the Ogres that they're more useful alive than as dinner.

[Grim Portent]

I think there is meant to be an ogre tribe that has a bunch of halfling slaves they use as cooks because they realized they're better as cooks than food.

[debvon]

Why would you waste a perfectly in-tact abhuman (especially a squat) when you could use it as ammunition? Ogres are incredibly stupid.

Beastmen Campaign-level gameplay

[Mech#4]

I like the way the Beastmen research tree works. Having no income buildings as well as requiring it to increase research means there's a lot of push to keep raiding. I wonder whether the chaos corruption caused by the Herdstones will spawn stacks of beastmen or chaos warrior units.

The phases of Morrsleib is interesting as well. I would guess it's not guaranteed that something good will happen and the chaos gods will sometimes just be angry because of reasons.

Oh tell me the beast men tree isn't a copy pasted woc tree.
