Radukar's ship is called "the Impaler" and "Radukar" is basically "Drakura" rewriten in disorder... which were two nicknames of real life Vlad Tepes, called "The Impaler" because of his tendancy of...well, you gessed it ...impaling his ennemies and was nicknamed "Dracula" a.k.a "the Dragon" in ancient romanian because of the said ferocity.
_Dracul_ in Romanian in this case means “The Dragon” in English. The phrase means “The Order of The Dragon” or “The Order of The Dracul.” A knightly order founded in 1408.
So basically Romanian?
No. It’s a reference to the real Vlad the Impaler’s brother Radu the Beautiful who later betrayed his brother and took the throne of Wallachia. Later on the whole Vampire vs Werewolf thing came into pop culture and so it was natural thereafter to make a guy named Radu be a wolf type creature in opposition to the pure Vampire type like say Dracula or the Von Carstein. A good example of this happening was the book series Necroscope that also featured an animalistic werewolf type lineage of Vampires founded by a guy named Radu.
The cursed city audiobook is a thoughly enjoyable book that is a prequel to the cursed city board game. Its on audible and draws you into Ulfenkarn and everyones plans and mindsets
The bat swarm comment made me spit out my coffee 🤣
"... they go for the soft tissue first."
(puts down spoon and puts bowl in sink) "Thanks, I was done with breakfast anyway"
I reccomend looking up the Cursed City novel that was released alongside the game. It fleshes out further the actual city and some of the characters in the game, but it is also a decent murder mystery tale. Also we get a few more details on how Mournhold became Ulfenkarn. It's a fun read, still going through it
The villains of Cursed City are what drew me to the game. The models were amazing (and GW made a good call by showcasing Gorslav first) and their backstories were evocative and compelling. I'm seriously considering buying up some Gravelords to make a small Vyrkos army, simply because I love the theme.
I just did that myself! Got a start collecting box and I'm thinking about getting a zombie dragon next...🤔
But uncle doug, what is a bat swarm?
Thank you for explaining why these vamps look so different. Really makes the Soulblight stand out among other vampire tropes.
Ppl...seriously call your local game stores if ur still looking for Cursed City. I found a shop with 2 of them near me, they are still out there just keep calling around and looking. Call some shops in the next closest city if u still cant find it. Good luck!
Have you tell the stories of Gotrek in AoS? I would love to hear that
Oh yes please it was my favourite serie in Warhammer; is it still good?
The AOS Gotrek stories aren't as good, to be honest. Not sure if it's because the setting doesn't work as well, or if it's just down to David Guymer's writing, but they're not great.
@@tommys_hobbies thanks for the warning
Yeah while not as good as the originals, I think I was never the same when William King stopped writing them, but still enjoyable the audiobooks are fantastic just for Brian blessed alone, I think what it's missing is Felix because although it was Gotrek's journey, it was Felix's story if that makes sense and without his point of view on things its lacking, but there are some very memorable and moving moments in them so far.
Soul blight giving Legacy of Kain vibes and that's a good thing.
Thanks Doug, I always appreciate your work and can’t wait for you to cover Kragnos br book when it’s released. Ps the new stormcast paladins are characterised after you with their 2+ save ⚒️
Thanks for the video 2+ Tough!
Hey Doug, if you like fundamentally different vampire bloodlines, I think you'll love the clans of Vampire: Masquerade & Dark Age
Alpha Legion catching strays in the cursed city video??
I want more fun facts with Uncle Doug!
Just got the made to order second run and can’t wait to sit and listen to these while I’m painting the minis up
It’s very reminiscent of the more feral vampires from our own world.
Why'd you gotta go after the Alpha Legion like that? 😔
Love cursed city content!
I could have sworn in the second chapter of Cursed City book they mention the fur coat was his former Sire.
That's a different pelt to the one he wears. It's mentioned in the book that Radukar keeps that fur as an exhibit in the castle next to other stuff from his past
I find it surprising that Radukar got kicked out and had people betray him in this, as Vlad the Impaler (his real life counterpart, and the actual person his lore and design etc originates from) managed to produce a crime free country as everyone was too scared of doing something wrong and getting impaled. So I find it surprising that say Kritza decided to keep up a facade against Radukar.
sad strigoi noises...
What happened to my big bulky bestial vampires...
I don't wanna collect or play Furries!...
I want my STRIGOI!!!
That unique of the vykos bieng mention here before the soulblight gravelords were annouce
Nice video. I managed to get the Cursed City novel on IBooks and have just started reading it. I think it would be great to use Warcry rules and create narrative scenarios in absence of a readily available rule book for the Warhammer Quest.
A buddy and I have been using it as a new Underworlds setting. Radukar ain’t ready for Vasilac the Gifted comin’ for those veins.
21 minute video? yeeeees.
I hope that they can repurpose the models for something else like underworlds.
Can be used in Warcry and they even published unique warcry campaign rules to put the models to use.
Yeah like who doesn't know that a bat swarm is when a group of skaven hunt a swarm of bats
Hehe I simply can’t help you !
Gorlav sounds a lot like Dr. Doom ...
He has a thirsting court... and not in the fun way.
But I want a 2 hour analysis lore video on Bat Swarms!
Mournhold...why did they have to call it Mournhold...? What could have been? Range enemies, challenge...we will never know.
I'm getting dnd vibes with the gravesand phylactery
_Alpharius will remember that_
So sad! I really wanted to be able to play this game!
Did we ever get that sequel video?
But there was no next time
just want to correct something. But It's not pronounced Vry-krose, it's Vir-kos (Vyrkos).
When are you going to flesh out thr lore of this game?
Am I the only one who thought of One Piece when he mentioned Zorro?
I’m so happy you choose to cover this material. Wish the game wasn’t a flop. 😔
I'm still hoping that they do more with it later on the beast model they revealed with the new soul blight gave me hope.
Why did they discontinue it? It was only out for like five minutes?
Supposedly they printed the same number as they did for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress but this one sold out first day.
It was always limited, they just underestimated the demand.
The game itself was not a flop. Great models, great lore and great fun to play. The way it was release it could have been a bit more transparent! I would be interested to know many copies actually got sold. Tens of thousands?
This isn’t sour grapes, I have a copy of the game but if the game was going to be limited, they needed to tell people that. Not get everyone excited about their next installment in the series, only to have it available for 5 minutes on pre-order day and then tell everyone it’s discontinued. People keep saying GW doesn’t owe anyone anything but that’s just wrong. They owe their customers a little, honesty. Maybe even a little, respect. Instead, it’s “thanks for the cash, now move along.”
Alas, is this even canon anymore?
