- Tz’arkan, the Drinker of Worlds has escaped from his eternal prison within the Realm of Chaos and latched himself onto the soul of Malus Darkblade, forging a deadly partnership that reverberates throughout the New World. Sensing the potential of this daemonic entity, the Nightlord of Clan Eshin has dispatched his most trusted assassin, Deathmaster Snikch, to investigate the true power of the daemon.

Ah yes, Alith Anar's even edgier dark-elf cousin.
Wait... They got Cole Sprouse to voice Malus?
@@primarchstar2087 God, that would've been funny.
@@DogKacique Anar is possessed by a metaphorical demon, Malus is possessed by a literal one.
More like Elric of Melnibone ripoff.
@@shurikozerov3164 A Daemon of Slaanesh no less.
Never knew how much I wanted to see a Skaven ninja vs Dark Elf fight scene.
Agreed
It's good yes-yes!
Yeah but they don't have the Dark Elf Assassin hero
More like Dark Edge.
The duel of the edgelords
“With hate, all things are possible”
My body is ready. This is the one thing I’ve wanted from this game since I heard its announcement.
I got what I wanted
Glob. Mortar teams :D
Malice
I have read the Darkblade Pentology (no no deathblade screw the end times!)
And I feel ya Bro, I am so ready for this :D
@@brianvanmaanen1897 Damn, I have to get hold of the last two books in the pentology.
"With the hate of the auto resolved battles, all things are possible"
From Snikch's point of view, 1:32 is the silent dark elf finally opening their mouth, just to say "belongs to me" with no context.
Spot on.
Well, with the noises of the battle my guess would be he did not hear anything at all anyway, just the just saying something for himself ^^
all warpstone belongs to me!! yes yes!!
"wth"
"...What-what?"
Add four turtles and you've got a hit Saturday morning cartoon!
Oh my god... you're right.
Please Make one of your awesome Videos on it
My day is ruined.
@@brenohds And give me a link. I wanna see.
This is Warhammer, I'm sure there's a race of sentient turtles around somewhere.
Malus MoodyBlade takes on Ezio Snikch Auditore!
more like, Roronoa Snikch
@@blaster829 3-blade technique so yeah... XD
“With hate, all things are possible”
GW announces Warhammer Fantasy's Old World is coming back.
Our collective hate for Age of Sigmar and the End Times made this possible.
That comment aged well lol
comment aged well, hahaha
Deathmaster Snikch is moving like he's playing Warframe.
Sniktch is definitely and Ash main.
Snikch IS a Warframe! lol
"With hate... all things are possible"
CRAAAWWWLLLING IN MY SKIIIIIN!!
first time in youtube?
Elric 2.0
These wounds they wil not heeeeeeal.
THESE WOUNDS (D3) WILL NOT HEAL!!!
Gotta love Nickelback
A quote from his origin story:
"'Father'? Malus, did you just kill your own father?"
"So what? I got you the artifact you wanted, didn't I?"
"Malus, sometimes you scare even me, and I'm a daemon."
"Good."
FearlessSon I don’t know about that
The story is one of my fave
Very edgy. Too edgy... Team Eshin all the way.
are you sure? a daemon usually would be happy that happened lmfao
@@brightestlight9462 Tzarkan is a likeable fellow. Not all pure edge but some humor dribbled in too from time to time. Sweet guy really, if you come to know him better.
Yes, this is perfect. I love how they've done Snikch. Lacks that constant Skaven twitch and instead moves with uncharacteristic perfect efficiency, as befitting perhaps the greatest assassin in the history of the old world. CA done the Deathmaster right.
At 1:15 he still twitches his nose tho xD
@@RexAresius well he needa to smell out hia prey no?
@@DamianBloodkil his prey is right in front of him xD let's just say he controls his twitch far better than other skaven and call it quits
@@RexAresius rats have really bad eyesight
A certain chameleon skink probably has him beat
Waiting for it... waiting for it...
“Shut up, Daemon!”
I knew it was a 10/10 trailer right there
IT'S OUR BOY
Love that they used Malus’s quotes from the book. “With hate, all things are possible...”
Hope that T’zarken is as snarky here as he was in the books.
🐭 Always Sneaking, Always Stabbing 🐭
When their backs turn we go.......
I like Snikch's cute little twitching rat nose as he sniffs the air after his death spin.
Just watched your Mauls Darkblade video from 2017. CA used your idea for the Tz'arkan mechanic (though not togglable sadly). Nice to know someone over at CA is a fan of your videos :)
Eshiiinn~
@milkandcookiesTW
CA basically dropped the teaser in this trailer for the next DLC! at the end, around 1:38 when the whispers begin. it's on the forums too.
"get ready for the waaaaagh..."
"beware the warden..."
I like how most DLC is just the Skaven getting cooler and cooler
Sounds like the history of warhammer tbh
Wait until you see Throt The Unclean. Guy's a beast, in several ways
@@Isabelle-fr9dp I cant wait for that one to make it into the game.
@@themythos8969 Sadly its looking extremely unlikely we'll ever get to see Throt ingame
@@dallasmeeker5577 Wait til WH3. Given his location in the hell pit he'd be perfect to go alongside Kislev and Chaos.
1:08 only warhammer can make a normal person say "what a badass rat"
So that rat certainly has the power of anime on his side
So one has the power of a god and the other had the power of anime. I feel like i've seen a clip about something similar
Thats the rat that killed thorgrim. No one sees him and survives
@@Asddsa301 That kid is beyond anything they could ever come to wield
He got the power of pizza, not anime.
@@tomrod2569 well said I expect Snikch to be able to at least go even if not obliterate Close Combat Monsters like Tyrion , Wulfrik , Sigvald etc.
Snikch is embodient of Skaven not relying on numbers but quality that works actually :P.
More Skaven-rat ninja-shinobis, yes-yes!
Ninja rats? No such thing!
*Last words of an Imperial captain before being assassinated by a ninja rat*
Nippon confirmed, right, right???
Stab stab the elf things they shall yes yes!
@Cancerous I... I was making a joke. How can I be right?! Now I'm contractually obligated to read those.
(Not that I mind, I've been told a bit about those and they sound like a lot of fun)
@@tombranch2261 yes-yes death master snikkers second best rat lord yes-yes.
i love how malus broods and talks to himself while snitch just kills everything around him
he's not talking to himself he has a daemon in his head
I’m sure he does
Well he aint no snitch
Kian Hopkins Don’t we all?
Malus drank too much absinthe during his imprisonment xD
Snikch: "How much warpstone dust do I need to snort to be ready for this-this?"
Tz'arkan: "Yes."
Finally, a fantasy character to meet my edgelord desires
who is that guy. Is he from other game or movie?
Fair, I personally just go for the fat toads with immense psychic power, and just chill there
@@tayro480 From one of the most iconic WFB book series. Malus Darkblade. Excellent books!
What, Malekith wasn't enough?
@Cancerous No, I get why people want Malus. I meant specifically on the edginess thing as a qualifier. It is cool that he is being added to the game otherwise.
I've made sure to wear all black and respond to the shadow demon under my bed. I'm feeling the edge and Malus will be proud.
@Canaan Adriel instablaster =)
Keep up the good work brother.
Every trailer with skaven in it needs to have at least one instance of a rat cackling maniacally.
1:17
I just noticed the hand Malus steps on actually twitches before his foot lands. That's just cruel, Darkblade. Not unexpected, but cruel nontheless.
Hauclir: I am expendable
Malus: Come now! Its not like that. Everyone is expendable. You are just more expendable then the rest.
ahh i see your a man of culture as well the books were all so good except that last one
Magical Magnus Games if you mean the End Times one, yeah i agree
Hauclir WILL def be a hero,,,has to.
I never understood how Dark Elven Society would even survive in the game. If they all are so edgy and have such a murderous lifestyle and all constantly plot to overthrow and kill one another. Like, how do they even keep up their numbers. Also their society would crumble, wouldn't it? How would families even work? Would love to have some more insight.
Lets be honest here, Hauclir was the real MVP of those books
NO WAYYY MALUS FINALLY MADE IT IN
bless u guys ahu
These fantasy boys are really spoiled. What about us history fans?
@@totalwar pls tell me u guys have spite for him
Galiley ThaDon you guys just got 3K and are getting Troy next lol. We’re still waiting on WH3
@@funkpunk657 yeah , aint our fault that most of us enjoy warhammer
@@funkpunk657 im pretty sure he means real history and not fantasy myth histroy, i dont care either way i just want a good TW were the AI isnt dogshit
Malus: 'Just like old times eh?'
Hauclir: 'Old times? The ones where we were nearly got drowned, burnt up or eaten by demons?'
Malus: Now see here - what about all the good times?
Hauclir: 'Those were the good times!'
THEY HAVE TO ADD HAUCLIR
DEVS OR MODDERS, PLS!!!
@@jakeen229 and Arleth Vann
@@jakeen229 Yes! This, a thousand times this!
He’s probably the guy that gives you the missions or lets you know updates, like Luthor Harkons first mate, or Count Noctilus’ monksy cymbals.
Not a character, but officially “existing” in CA Total War Warhammer world.
If you think about it, "The Shadow and The Blade" could really go both ways
Snikch - Has lots of blades and he kills from the shadows
Malus - Is haunted by a shadow (in a way) and his last name is literally Darkblade
Snikch moves like he's come straight out of Demon Slayer...
I'm curious whether this will be an actually strong skavenlord.
Clan Eshin learned their skills from Nippon, which is pretty much Japan in the Warhammer world
@@ProfessorHanger I mean yeah, Nippon is the Japanese word of Japan after all.
Breath of Rat
@@ProfessorHanger You're telling me Samurai taught Skaven? That sounds epic.
Others: Dark elf demon!!!
Some others: an anime ninja-rat!!!!!
Me: rats with drills to smash the gates faster!!!!!!!!!
When your name is literally in the title but you're not even in the video.
*sad Shadowblade noises*
How can you be sure?
@JustinWarhammer He is, he just had stealth active...
Well he IS in the dark elf story cutscenes
They just had to drop the trailer a few days before no nut november ends.
You win this time, Slaanesh.
"She Who Thirsts" is proud of you
I always win hun
Slaanesh The Dark Prince NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
agree
Lol
now that *Eshin* finally gets there way here, hoping for Moulder soon~
#MeatShieldMonstrosities
Rat ogres. Rat ogres everywhere. 😱
@@503leafy More like Giant rats !
Ironically with no eshin units, just a bunch of skryre units.
wolf rats and stormfiends oh yeah!
Wolfrats plz
Man, Snikch coming in like some shonen anime character
Eshin are a clan of highly trained ninjas, and Snikch is the best of them. He's got the power of Horned Rat and anime
Snikch using that three swords style like he is roronoa zoro
No way Snikch is was better then some anime crap.
Imagine how confused Snikch must be when Malus just randomly says "belongs to me"
These days I get more hyped for Warhammer: Total War DLCs than I do for other full games. This is a masterpiece of a trailer.
THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST BADASS TOTAL WAR TRAILER YET
Tomb King's trailer was better IMO
@@LordLevan DISAGREE YARR THE PIRATE COAST
Blood & Gore II trailer tops them all.
I dunno, that Bretonnian one and the Tomb Kings one are still pretty hardcore
all the trailers for the 2nd game have been awesome and there are good ones from game1
but ohh man this is just too good
Snikch looking confused... like huh...no one has ever survived the first strike before...
"With hate, all things are possible" is my new mantra for fighting Clan Eshin. Cheating bastards.
1:40 the Whispers can be faintly heard saying something along the lines of "Get ready for the warden and the waagh"
Finally Clan Eshen is here.
The battle stance he does after trying to take Malus' head with a quick strike and the way the 3 blades look so badass.
Malus is probably one of my favorite Canadians. He's right up there with Mike Myers, Keifer Sutherland and Rush.
Fucker, they’re American. Total Naval Supremacy in the world, a thriving industry rooted in the use of “gainfully” employed souls from poor walks of life across the known world, and constantly dealing with their cousins on an island in the sea. The Chaos Tribes North of the Dark Elves are the Canadians.
CA has been nailing the Old World so hard that GW got jealous.
It seems like they actually _understand_ the source material... Something GW has apparently forgotten!
@@PeteTheGrouch Well they are planning to resurrect the old world. Total war may have remind them
@@Madiuss _Pffft_ - most likely only so they can try to make money off people's nostalgia...
@@PeteTheGrouch did not specify they remind them of what 😂 but yeah it's GW..
@@Madiuss That's the point, CA has been nailing the Old World so bad that GW is reviving it.
CA, we can’t have Malus without Hauclir... who else is going to “test” his food for poison?
Might be in his missions like that halfling is for Markus
And now I want to read all the books again.
@Tim van roey Dude, same.
Ahh, Malus Darkblade. I read those books back in middle school, and I didn't realize how much I missed this bastard.
1:40 the whispers says:
"Get ready for the waargh, waaaaaargh!"
and beware the warden
It must be absolutely terrifying knowing you have a skaven deathmaster after you.
No one know the Deathmastwr after you.... After he stabbed your back...
Imagine following your commanding officer into battle, and while fighting you just see him staring in front of himself, mumbling while just not paying attention to his surroundings.
"This is the guy making life and death decisions for us."
1:40 - get ready for the waaagh??
Out of all the races Skaven is by far my favorite faction.
And, out of all the Skaven Clans, Clan Eshin is my utmost favorite. So, them making this DLC happen has completed a Total War Warhammer dream for me.
Thank you guys! Absolutely amazing content you are putting out.
"SHUT UP , DAEMON!!!" is a warhammer equivalent of "Ok, Boomer"
Nicholas Gerry or Mallus just really wants that daemon to shut up
And the boomer takes over.
I don´t see the correlation but ok.
Shut up Malus
It's the Tyrant of Hag Graef himself!
Finally Deathmaster is here! Didn't see this coming.
You should've. He's by far the cheapest character choice left. Its easy to predict what characters they will choose. Just go with whatever is cheapest and you'll always be right.
@@ptavangar The cheapest? I mean I didn't see it coming because Deathmaster isn't really a faction leader and works alone so I didn't see how he would be a controllable lord who barters with other lords. Didn't think he would work out as a normal lord.
So glad Tz’arken was in the trailer, love the mechanic
SNIKCH IS A GODDAMN BADDASS OH MY GOD
0:50 Dark Elves and Medusa. Take my money CA
0:18 Sneaky Bloodwrack Shrine in the back there, big hype!
So pumped
I literally built my P.C just for this game
Hahahaha Me too :D
@Sin SinaT Me Five
Me six
Me seven
me eight!
Malus Darkblade -- Talks to himself....
Meanwhile,
DeathMaster Snikch -- Santoryu Ougi _Sanzen Sekai_
Snikch: omae wa mou shindeiru
Dark elf soldiers: NANI?!?
I'm actually in shock, and my friend were literally talking yesterday how cool it would be if Snikch made it in, thank you guys so much
aaa yes the one man army, malus
I still love this Cinematic. My army of choice in the tabletop game is Skaven, and my all time favourite model is the Deathmaster, so finally we get the awesome lore of the finest of the Deathmasters put into the video game. Yes please!
I'm still frustrated that these two never fought or at least met in canon
You magnificent bastards, sneaking in the next DLC hint in an older video!
Listen at 1:40 "Get ready for the Waaagh!"
Man, I remember reading the Darkblade novels ages ago, good memories.
Alright everyone - there is suppose to be a hint in this trailer for the next DLC - let's put our brains together and solve this!
Their tweet mentions "Whispers of something", maybe the faint whispers at the end of the trailer??
@@PraisePatchy Kinda sounds like Waagh to me.
@@klausoman2161 The ending vocals definetly say 'Get Ready' and yes I do hear a Waagh type echo.
Tz'arkan is a daemon. So WH3 announcement.
1:40 "Get ready for the Waaagh"
good ol Deathmaster Snickers himself.....gonna be a good time yes-yes!
Worth a read?
As a kid my father bought me 2 books that got me into fantasy in general. The Darkblade comic and a Drizzt book. Now I get to control the Dark Elf who got me into fantasy in the first turly I am blessed by the lord......
Shut up Daemon
Malus was more interesting to you than Drizzt, huh? Not sayting that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. Everyone's entitled to their own personal tastes and opinions.
Big news! Both are Erlic rip-offs
BY KHAINE BLOODY HAND!
IT'S MALLUS DARKBLADE!!!
The ripoff of Elric of Melnibone.
Malus was one of my favorite characters in the graphic novels from Warhammer Monthly.
I will-will be the next Eshin Nightmaster! believe it-it, elf-thing!
Malus finally made it wohuuu he was defently missing for the dark elves
That episode when the skaven are the lesser evil
MALUS MOTHERFUCKING DARKBLADE HAS COME
Funny thing is, this entire trailer hyped up Malus and the demon possessing him giving him tremendous power. But no matter how powerful you were in the now defunct Old World, you couldn't see Deathmaster Snikch and survive.
Meme rat is boring.
You couldn’t see Snikch and survive, it’s impossible.
But, with hate, all things are possible!
Dave
Lol no, Malus would kill snitch with a single backhand. Like he did a dragon ogre
@@the_dropbear4392 nope. he wouldn't land a hit, and those blades would cleave right thru his neck
#team rework sieges and diplomacy for TWW3.
Community has to agree what they want sieges to be first!
I'd like for a proper dx12 feature as well.
I dont mind the sieges
Eternally Hers agreed, non dx12 support (real one) has been really disappointing
'I despair of you Malus - when the final task is done there will be such a reckoning!'
Oh damn... And here I was thinking "Why can't we play with Clan Eshin" and here is the answer. I know what I will start this DLC with.
People say there's too much Eshin units for Skaven already.I think they're just jealous cuz they can't stab-stab as much.
we say it because Clan Moulder is horribly underrepresented and yet KEEPS GETTING THE SHAFT! Literally nobody was asking for Clan Eshin, Deathmaster Snikch should have been saved to be introduced as a Legendary Hero, he doesn't even lead armies in his lore
UA-cam : the shadow and the blade trailers added 55 sec ago.
Me: 20 sec later already made a pre-order lol
That skaven ninja was really going at it tho
Omg you guys are making my holidays the best ever, this is dream come true! THANKS!!!
Snikch looks SUPER badass, yes-yes! Amazing work on the trailer guys. Looking forward to this one!
Skaven ninja: yes yes me me anime protagonist
Alright so what are we seeing here?
Medusa's
Shades with spears?
A skaven drill for doors?
And a mortar weapon team. Pretty cool.
Also I think we'll get an in battle transformation for Malus.
also battle transformation of malus can be a test for daemon possessions for WH3, hm?
@@hirdbarding3399 That transformation would have to be much bigger. But I do think the mechanics are there.
Gotta say, the Trailer department really does an awesome job lately.
Find myself always rewatching trailers like 5-times a day
Coming back looking at this, that MFer dropped and expensive as bottle
I've always said that TWW and TWW2 trailers are on another level, but this is just amazing. I've rewatched this and sent it to all my friends interested. The sound design, the visuals, the story, I wouldn't doubt it had I been told a small fortune was spent creating this. Fantastic job as always!
So who else is looking for the "clue?"
Yes, and I'm not seeing it. It was fun watching the trailer again though.
@@Jay-ji5tw maybe because you can't see but hear it, the voice, a demon, hint for a soon trailer of TWW3?
@@cyresdog2015 Yes figured that out hours ago, but thanks for your help there.
J Warden The whispers at the end of the trailer say “get ready for the waaagh... beware the warden..”
@@JosefBugman88 Hah very good.
crazy to be alive at the same time as this game
Whoever does your short videos deserves a raise. Can you guys make more or longer movies?
I know Malus and the dark elves are horrible evil beings, but damn Malus is cool
Ah yes, Dark Elf faces getting stepped on by Skaven feet.
As it should.
Yes-yes
Rat Boyz for Life!
That was actually Malus stepping on them. Dark elves have no care for their own.
Nathaniel McKnight Most races in Warhammer don’t seem to care for their own.
That was definitely Malus stepping on the faces of his own dead soldiers. He's Malus. He feels nothing but hatred.
Splinter and Shredder having a re-match.
Yes-Yes! Man-things finally made Clan Eshin great! The horned rat is pleased!
GET READY FOR THE WAAAAAGH !
2022 and this trailer still give goosebumps
YES! Malus Darkblade! Finally! I remember first getting interested in Warhammer Fantasy when I picked up one of the Malus Darkblade novels as a teenager over a decade ago. I'm so damn stoked about finally playing as him.
