Chaos Dwarfs can melt any unit. This is fine... right?

oh no terrifying legendary Lord nakari is coming to get us whatever will we do who will save us from this to oh okay never mind I guess that problem solved in the space of about five seconds then but who is our savior from this terrifying Beast who is the hero that has deleted the almighty nakari it's two units of goblet whoa what maybe you thought that was easy though because nakari hasn't got any armor on well how about scarbrand then he's got full health how long can he survive the chaos dwarf Onslaught also not very long five to ten seconds if he's lucky before he starts stumbling around like your drunken aunt at a birthday party and down she goes one more then here's Lord Mazda Mundi full health he's got tons of armor he's got tons of help surely he can survive one volley from chaos dwarf units nope full health to zero in under five seconds pretty much and here's the cheeky dwarf mostly responsible the sorcerer Prophet Lord you see he has a lot of weaknesses to fire that he can stack he has flammable on his ranged attack so you use that first of all there's 20 weakness to fire to whatever you're aiming at then you've also got Kindle flame if you use a fire spell so that can stack another 20 so there's 40 right there and then you've got the big boy ability the vial of hashut giving a weakness to fire of sixty percent so all in all one hundred percent weakness to fire damage so essentially 200 damage for your units if you can time it well it also reduces armor by 40 so that's just going to help you do even more damage to show you the scar brand example here we've got our sorcerer profit I've hit scar brand with his flare-ranged attack to light him up and give him that 20 first of all I'm also using blunderbusses in this example who don't have fire damage so we need to give it to them with flaming sword of Ruin which will also set off Kindle flame and then we use the vial of hashut and that will give us that 100 weakness to fire as seen down here and then when he gets hit by the ranged attack from the blunderbusses it's bye bye scar brand although in this example I didn't time it terribly well as Kindle flame ran out a bit early but still an 80 weakness to fire left scar brand absolutely destroyed that minus 40 armor really helping here as well now those aren't the only weaknesses to fire that this faction can employ also the law of hashut has a spell Ash storm which gives a 20 weakness to fire so you could bring that along and then there's the matter of units that already have a weakness to fire like old dirt who here as a woody tree unit he has a weakness to fire of 25 by default does that stack with the 100 can we get 125 maybe even 145 with Ash storm as well well let's find out durthu very kindly waiting around to be our test subject in comes Ash Storm from the lore for sure so that's a 20 weakness to fire right there laying down flaming sword of Ruin so that's 20 from Kindle flame it doesn't appear on the character for some reason there's there was a post up there you go again yep they're pretty bad shots with that flare attack but they got him vile of her shut going on let's see how many weaknesses to fire old dirt who has I think Kindle flame is worn off because they kept missing with the flammable attack but they've still got a hundred percent on him right now plus the 25 in theory this should be 125 but it's only 100 so it seems that there is a cap limiting to a 100 fire weakness which is probably for the best let's be honest but how well does dirt do survive this 100 weakness to fire not very well poor Dewey poor dude he's going down down he goes so that's the full maximum of this capability with the sorcerer profit but without him this is considerably less but still enough to be very useful from other characters and units that can also inflict weaknesses to fire such as the demon Smith if you bring in with the law of hashut he's got Ash storm and also that same ranged attack so that's flammable so there's 40 from him or if you bring the fire version you've got Kindle flame instead so still 40 percent then you've got the oglacon's wolf boys they also have flammable on their ranged attack so they can apply a 20 astrogoth also good for this he can stack up to 60 fire weakness as he does have fire spells he'll get Kindle flame when he uses one his black hammer of hashut will imbue him with flammable so that's another 20 so that's 40 and then he also has the spell Ash storm as well so that's the 60 and if you stack all that up together we can get some similar massive damage boosts although not quite as much as that sorcerer profit with the 80 or 100 percent but still very nice as we see here with kugath we're gonna rip about half his Health off in one volley not to mention you've got astrogoth in there doing his melee attack which is also going to be boosted because that does have fire damage as well and here's the same thing on our K on but in this case I am using mostly Lords and here's a smaller Lord to show you that it absolutely destroys a smaller Lord they don't have to be a big single entity but it'll work on any unit really and once you've stacked those weakness to fire penalties from the sources I've just shown you you can use any of the many fire damage units from this Army to absolutely destroy all sorts of stuff here's imrick and I'm going to use in this case the blasting charges from the iron swarm in this case I'm using the flammable from the ranged attack Ash storm and the vial of hashut and here comes the blasting charges how well do they destroy our boy imrik pretty damn well there's half his health gone in one volley and what's more imrick has a fire resistance so I think it's maybe like 25 or 35 percent he's reducing our damage by that but he's still getting absolutely pounded disgusting what about old man Manfred on his Mount being blasted by fire glaves with an 80 weakness to fire just from the sorcerer profit as we can see he's on his way to being Double Dead very damn quickly and the nice thing about units like the fire glaive and the Goblin archers with fire you don't have to add on the fire like you do with blunderbusses so they're good from that perspective although the blunderbusses are arguably the best unit for this as their damage output is very quick it's huge it's armor-piercing they do a lot of work very quickly but you do need to imbue them with fire that can come from flaming sort of Ruin like we did earlier or from The Infernal Castle in who has this ability breath of hatred which will imbue fire damage to an area also armor sundering which helps so a couple of options here's another random example of a combination you could have I've got the wolf boys with their flammable trait that's going to give you a flammable that will at least land a bit more reliably than the sorcerer profits shot I've also got the Demon's tongue the Regiment of renowned iron demon with its flamethrowers which honestly is a little underwhelming the iron demon seem like they need some adjustments to be honest but we're gonna put the vial of her on Mazda Mundy here and then unload all of this into there somebody else is shooting him as well in the distance I've got a few units in this test you can see the iron demon doing a kind of disappointing amount of damage there we got the wolf boys and their arrows we'll be doing damage as well as adding flammable but it's worth noting as well that a weakness to fire penalty can only stack if it's a different kind so for example if you've got two lots of flammable like I do here I've got it from the sorcerer Lord and also from the wolf boys but I can only apply one count of flammable it won't stack if it's the same type same with like Kindle flame if I brought two fire Sorcerers and use two fire spells at the same time to set off Kindle flame twice it would still only apply one lot of Kindle play Mazda Monday going away pretty quick here so this random combination still works pretty well and finally how about an example with some infantry The Immortals here we saw this fight the other day in my who's the best video versus chosen of nurgle and we saw that it's a pretty close fight between these two so it could go either way normally but if we apply the 80 weakness to Fire To The Chosen of nurgle how much will it help out the Immortals in winning the this fight well it turns out pretty damn well as it allows the Immortals to win this fight with still about half of their health left whereas if the chosen didn't have the weakness to fire they probably would have been down to about one tenth of their health left if they even managed to win so it's helping in all situations all across the enemy Army any unit that you specifically want to take out you can hit it with loads of weaknesses to Fire stack them all up and then use any of these many fire units to get into them and do some serious damage and you can use any of the units you see here they've all got fire attacks there's plenty of it in this army they just need to be set up by the few units in the army that are able to inflict weaknesses to Fire and in particular we can get some pretty disgusting effects from this from the sorcerer profit with the vial of her shut 80 100 weakness to fire then use maybe blunder buses or fire glaves and you will destroy anything very very quickly but there we go I hope you've enjoyed this thanks for watching thanks to all the patrons who support this channel I will see you in zip View

I don't really think this is a huge deal. It's not a combo that's going to be remotely easy to set up against a human and campaign is already full of insane bullshit. Even against the AI getting a full 100% weakness will require a good deal of luck.

Sisters of Avelorn can do it faster and easier.

One good thing about the TW franchise being on the back burner for CA at the moment is that it'll take another 6 months at the least for them to listen to the whinging and whining from the mini game squad, so the normal people at least get some time to enjoy the new DLC before it gets ruined like everything else these people whined about.

Perfect setup aside, all these fire units will be hell to deal with for the vampire counts. Maybe even Ghorsts zombies will have to work up a bit of a sweat now. And the chorfs are right on his doorstep too.
