            Or only buy the base game and pirate all the DLC.

            They way it is set up where owning the WH1 and all its DLC gives you more stuff in WH2 is neat if you were a fan back then and just bought it over time but the ~250 dollar price for the whole game now is a bit insane.

              Or if you really want to give money, wait until Steam Sale

              Still, that's about the cheapest you can buy into a tabletop army for the whole game. I'll end up probably pirating the whole thing and buying the game and any DLC i like if i like it

                Word of warning for pirating the whole game: the most recent cracked version is from a while ago and also from a seriously bugged game version where the game just stops working after a randomly after about 60ish turns.

                If you don't mind buying the base game it is possible to unlock all the DLC. This also lets you get regular updates and use mods.

              Yeah if you can then pirate the dlc.. I've been buying them as they drop since the base game, it's another 20 dollar every few months, it adds up.. if i had to buy it all one time it starts to become stupid expensive

            dope i will. ive painted tons of figures but ive only played a handful of times, and the only video games ive played were Vermintide and the MMO, both of which were shit. this looks fun though

              It's pretty much what the tabletop game wishes it was, minus the painting

              And yeah it's expensive with all the DLC (unless yarrr) but it's still probably cheaper than buying like five miniatures from Games Workshop

                There's also the Closer To Tabletop / Boyz Will Be Boyz mod whic uses an Excel spreadsheet to literally port tabletop unit stats over; supposedly it actually works well, and fixes the vanilla issue of lower-tier units being useless in the lategame.

              if you own the first game you unlock the mortal empires campaign that combines the 1° and 2° game maps, but you should buy that during the summer sale

                mortal empire is the shit.. a little sad you have to buy 1 and 2, especially as they just slap a number on it and call it a new game (it's legit just the same game) unlike their historic titles where they made new engines and shit.. but i guess it's cool that you don't have to buy the first game to try it out or play multiplayer

      In what sense? In the sense that you build an army, fight a different army, and each army has its own strategy and meta? Kind of. In the sense that you're playing a rule-heavy, turn-based tabletop full of dice and stuff? Not much.
