I love how your music fits what you talk about. I was getting so pumped up hearing about the battle of backfire pass! I had a similar moment in the Balthazar video when you told the story of him coming to the empires aid during a battle with beastmen. Subbed and liked keep it up you're doing great!
This was great! I can’t find any audio books with Karl and death claw and I prefer audio as I get migraines and look for things to listen to. Realise this is old content but loved it :)
@@ΝικοςΠαπασωτηρακοπουλος There are a number of towns with the name Altdorf, there could be multiple Marienburgs as well. I suppose you can identify a number of analogs, but overall this "empire" seems more remeniscent of the HRE than the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which didn't have an emperor for instance. I know the Polish King was elected too, but did Poland have a few elector princes like the HRE? Anyway, I think a name like "Karl Franz" is quite on the nose. Besides, they made Sylvania, which seems to be an analog for Romania and Hungary, a former province of the empire, and neither of which belonged either to the HRE or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Only weapons that rival ghal Maraz are the sword of khaine and the revered spear. To bad in table top the spear just gives you +1 strength like any other spear and extra combat rez
I really like these videos of yours. Keep up the good work =) ! Also, I don't know what happens at all in ''The End Times'' so each time you talk about it I learn a little bit more. I hope Archaon fails but since it's warhammer he prob wins :P
As far as I understand 40k the skull represents the deified emperor who sacrificed himself to save humanity. But what's the Warhammer Fantasy explanation for the empire's abundant skull heraldry? What does it stand for in the lore?
karl, he has the greatest griffon of all the ages and GODDAMN GAHL MARAZ! yeah sure louen has a ward save but repeated strikes with a cannonball strength hammer would take down any but the everchosen or grimgor
with the aid of some chrono mancing Necrons...let's snatch Karl Franz, get him to M41 and present him as the risen emperor? Or back to M31 and have him replace Horus before the heresy. Imagine the noble empire Big E AND Karl might build together! Forget the age of war and the laughter of thirsting gods for there is nothing among the stars but progress and enlightenment.
I was having this campaign in Total war:wh 2. Of course modded for realism and lorefriendly stuff and difficulty. Well, Karl united the empire (Now i play with Mixu's lords because i needed the flair). Was on pretty good terms with most "Good races". Except Bretonnia, whom Karl had a small useless falling out with. Now we had beaten away the small chaos incursions up to the point when Archaon himself decided to show. Province after province started to fall. Karl tried to call for aid. But the dwarves were busy with Grimgor who had united all the Greenskin tribes. The High elves would never make it. The wood elves tried to make it to altdorf which at this point was Karl's last stand. But in the south two large armies were approaching at a really fast pace. Now i only had 3 turns before i had to go into a siege battle. But against 4 chaos armies... Well shit. 1 turn goes these 2 armies approaches even further. It's Louen and Alberic (They confederated sometime earlier). Karl started to get hopeful now and there were only 2 turns left. 1 turn left and they were at the very gates of altdorf yet chaos did not change focus. I quickly ask Louen for an military alliance, he accept. The turn goes but chaos does nothing, and i look at the banner clutter and notice that Orion is standing smack in the middle. Karl already had an alliance with them. They must've used the world root path. CHARGE FOR SIGMAR. Battle ensues. Karl puts up a defensive position outside Altdorf. Chaos horde charges. They go for the Imperial lines. Bretonnia smacks into the chaos rear flank while Orion and his troops reinforces the imperial lines with better archers. Then charge through the defensive line to run towards the approaching army. Karl flies towards archaon to challenge him at single combat. Karl wins, fly to aid the wood elves infantry and land right in the middle of a chosen troop the same time a charge of grail knights hits them. Louen lands as well. Orion decides to join the fray. Karl orders his Reiksguard to charge. Enemy routes. The light won that day.
Not into fantasy lore that much prefer 40k but listening to you explain End times stuff for each character I can tell it's a giant clusterfuck and bunch of asspulls. I can see why everyone tends to hate it.
Well one is a god and the other is a god but we don’t have real proof but because of how things work in 40k probably is now or was always one but we know he said he was but a man but that’s what Jesus said and he was god or the son of god or one part of a god who is three depending on what flavor Christian you are.
Something thats always bugged me is how Ghal Maraz is an ancient Dwarf made weapon but it looks like something the modern empire would make. This problem actually shows up all over Warhammer Fantasy. Gitsnik for example is a powerful Chaos Dwarf rune axe but looks like some piece of shit an Orc blacksmith threw together. Pretty much every weapon that is owned by a character not from the culture that made it has this problem, which is a shame. You could get some real cool designs if you played up the juxtaposition.
You know what. I’m just going to say it. Karl Franz is not that cool. Okay? He’s boring and the only thing he has going for him is a hammer and a bird cat. Change my mind.
Living Day by day it’s cool I just asked my servant to summon the entire midnight aristocracy within the next fortnite. We have some cities to burn and some bodies to claim
"Graf Boris Todbringer, elector count of Middenland also had his *eyes* on the throne..."
Shots goddamned fired, Loremaster!
i mean it's only half an insult
He almost won the votation in a blink of an eye!
He could practicly see the throne as his
Boris Todbringer is a man of singular vision.
MIDDENLAND BEST!
Master warrior, master tactician, master politician. Only he can *summon the elector counts*
And he's a far better emperor than Big E
THIS ACTION HAS MY CONSENT
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS
BRING ME TO MY MEN
FOR THE HELDEN HAMMER
IN THE NAME OF MAGNUS!

your delivery of the blackfire pass battle with the music was on point i felt like i was there youve earned yourself a sub sire
your well made and informative videos deserve many more likes and views. I will like all of them
It's fun to go back and see how many of your predictions came true for Total war Warhammer.
Nice and very informative vid bro well done :).
Franz for president 2016
Why thank you, but its a little bit late
Franz 2020
@@MrBluman999 Im kinda already dead...you know, the end times and all
Franz for emperor in M41
So my boi comes back as Sigmar incarnate or does Sigmar just decide to possess his corpse?
Second. Sigmar spoke with Archaon, not Karl.
Possess? Living can be possessed.
Hey Loremaster, just found your channel and I love it! Your breakdowns are so much more detailed
I've heard two versions of Lietdorfs death now. This one, and one where he tried to solo an orc warboss.
Karl Franz summons the elector counts everytime he needs to use the outhouse.
This was great! I can’t find any audio books with Karl and death claw and I prefer audio as I get migraines and look for things to listen to.

Yep, it's the "Holy Roman Empire".
Isn't marienburg in Prussia though so geographically it should be poland

Grimgor! Grimgor! Grimgor!
Kholek! Caus he's a giant fuckin' monster, duh.
I wish the Lizardmen were in...
you're in luck

Whats the name of the song that starts in 22:48?
13:37 dat smile lol
L33T AS HELL
This Action does not have my consent!
You're doing Sigmar's work mate, for the Empire!
Karl Franz all they way, cant beat that.
The Slaan could, real easy. *Snap* His entire city and him along with it reduced to ruin
Then the endtimes came and Archaeon kicked his ass.
this makes me want to play total war
mate,in the future do a end times video,a full lore one
This is amazing. thank you
This is kind of late by a LOT but for my first campaign I picked Grimgor Ironhide and damn was that a rough first learning experience lol
What about Karl's armor?
Im changing history with the Empire.....fuck the end times EDIT: WITH TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER PLAYING AS THE EMPIRE CASE THAT WASNT EVIDENT.
Where can I buy all these books?
wait, the empire conquering norsca at the end of a long campaign is actually canon? XD
thanks for the lore, Any Empire war novels to recommend? aside from end times . Many thanks
As far as I understand 40k the skull represents the deified emperor who sacrificed himself to save humanity. But what's the Warhammer Fantasy explanation for the empire's abundant skull heraldry? What does it stand for in the lore?
FOR ME SONS OF SIGMAR ! FOR THE EMPIRE !
Good Video , thank you for sharing .
i see why people say fuck the end times
Where is this " Lor Alern " Forrest? never heard of it
Fantastic video.
What happened to Ludwig?
that's A LOT of forest
who would win in a fight karl franz or louen leoncoeur
Franz, he simply has better equipment and training
Close but I think Louen would win! He's a superhuman, has the blessing of the lady and has regeneration
karl, he has the greatest griffon of all the ages and GODDAMN GAHL MARAZ!
yeah sure louen has a ward save but repeated strikes with a cannonball strength hammer would take down any but the everchosen or grimgor
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!
so, uh, what happened during the 1st and 2nd Battles for Blackfire Pass?
Um. is that elder scrolls music I hear in the background?
Karl Franz > God Emperor

Sigmar v. Aenarion - who wins? ;) No dragons involved - to make it fair.
Why can’t Karl use the dragon mount in total war warhammer 2 what in the sigmar is going on
Why use a dragon when he can use his trusted friend Deathclaw?
whats the song at 14:00 plz
Amir Kazemi crusade - Kevin Macleod
I wonder who's BETTER, politically and in war: Karl Franz VS Anduin Wrynn
they will obey
Are there any books about the battle of Blackfire pass? Sounds like a good read :D
Not into fantasy lore that much prefer 40k but listening to you explain End times stuff for each character I can tell it's a giant clusterfuck and bunch of asspulls. I can see why everyone tends to hate it.
All lets revolt against GW
Why no one make videos about Sigmar ?? :(
Because of Age of Failmar
I wonder if he will yawn in this one like he does every time
Louie-Pold, lol. Everytime.
Deathclaw
Now why the hell can't we have a decent movie about this? This story arc alone would be better than Game of Thrones.
Sky Rim because warhammer universe always has shitty endings
The books on the end times... Where can i get those ?
The gutter.
Huge fan of urs love ur vids but lets leave the end times out lol thats just a bad dream to me it's not real!
End Times. The epitome of bad writing, and how to kill an universe... AOS IS NOT CANON!
So can anyone tell me is the empire and imperium of man the same thing or related anyway I'm confused how TW WH2 fits in the 40k universe
It doesn't, Fantasy and 40K are totally separate universes, technically they are connected by the warp though.
Well one is a god and the other is a god but we don’t have real proof but because of how things work in 40k probably is now or was always one but we know he said he was but a man but that’s what Jesus said and he was god or the son of god or one part of a god who is three depending on what flavor Christian you are.

unless Ghal Maraz, as a hugely important artifact in Empire culture, had a large influence on they made things
But Karl Franz lost and lost in the recent total war: Warhammer battle video. lol jkjk

AneurysmSauce I won’t change your mind but because you can’t summon the elect accounts you will never change my mind about his greatness.
Living Day by day it’s cool I just asked my servant to summon the entire midnight aristocracy within the next fortnite. We have some cities to burn and some bodies to claim
Leoncoeur is still better
Hes french. Remember 1940? I would go with Franz
Thank you!
