Look at the flocks of adorable man eating squigs as they tear apart their opponents savagely. These are honestly the best unit they ever made in WarHammer Total War
@ Yah, makes me wonder if Greasus Goldtooth was the DLC Lord instead, they would give him the Gnoblar carried gold bed with how complex the movement is.
The best part about the mangler squigs is, due presumably to a bit of oversight between design and testing, the animations of the mangler squigs cause knockback *before* enemy units can make contact with their hit box... which means mangler squiggles can charge head-first into elite halberds like the Keepers of the Flame and take 0 charge reflection damage, because the halberds get knocked back and count as unbraced when the squigs charge into them
Orks use squigs as both popcorn buckets and the popcorn in the bucket. They usually knock them out first before filling them with squigcorn. They love it when it tries to eat their fingers when it wakes up cause they get to knock it out again.
I know "whirlwind of death" gets tossed around a lot to describe some of the units in this game. But that is literally the only phrase I can use to describe this monstrosity.
If you have never seen the actual model you deserve for yourself to look it up. I enjoy when the game captures the chaotic energy of the sculpt and elevates it to perfection.

I don't know why, but that music and those Mangler Squigs, as they go complete and utterly bonkers, somehow fits perfectly together in my opinion, don't know why but, I just think they do
@@crynostic9300 I can't exactly remember it, but heard it a lot of different times, as it's some sort of classical music piece, if I'm remember correctly, though I'm rather uncertain
I think the thing that makes Mangler squigs so strong is that their attacks are contact, they don't have proper attack animations. This means they don't knock over enemies, and Legend has told me many times that units that have been knocked over can't take damage, most units will sit there and wait for the knocked over unit to get back up before they go back to kicking the shit out of each other. But not the Mangler Squigs, they're built different, and it's great.
It looks like one of those animations a new 3D artist would make that just goes completely wrong and does not do what the person originally intended, but kept anyways.
What was that in 3:08? Why did you give me the image of Skarbrand having a corset! Now I can't unsee it anymore, Idk if I can continue ny Skarbrand Campaign with 4K texture knowing he is wearing a corset.
This is even more violent, chaotic and beautiful as I expected it would be. And the music only enhanced it. Even Khorne looking at this thinks "Man, chill with all the chaotic violence. Enough already"
this is purely why mangler squigs are made OP yet, to make okoii please all the viewers AND the devs for seeing this masterpiece ! big thanks CA and okoii to make my day even before its out !
man , that intro was amazing the squigs ballett performance, showcasing its natural beauty in its chaos while the Gnoblins try to hold on for dear life. marvelous
From the moment I first saw this unit in the CA showcase, the only thing I could think was "this, this is most Okoii memestack thing I have ever seen"... I was not disappointed.
Opened this vid on mute and saw the peaceful towers…. Thats unlike Okoii…. instantly clicked what you were doing, opening soundtrack came straight to mind, boot the volume up and sure enough, absolute legend!

How do you always come up with hilarious names? XD The Nunchuk one was golden, and the cream of the crop was the last one, the perfect conclusion "Other people Dog"! Very relatable! XD 2:40 : The animation are a bit too fast for us to see it, but there are very nice details in them. Like how one of the goblin fall in a squig's mouth, get bitten, then spit out. x) 3:07 : Apparently, Okoii, Tarriff and CodyBonds all agree on the fact that Skarbrand is wearing a corset. XD
I haven't laughed this hard since 4 halfling barbarians. I've never seen anything so hilarious in wh3. The goblins holding on is just icing on the cake.
I just absolutely adore the goblins. What are they actually achieving? They're certainly not wrangling any of the squigs. It's like the Boyz just grabbed a bunch of em for a laff and threw em on to cling for der lifes.
My man created the doomstack equivalent of the cartoon dustcloud brawl
Isn't that just the orcs in a nut shell?
Weaponized the goddamn Langoliers from that Stephen King miniseries.
I dont think that could have been described any better.
It's like getting attacked by Warner Brother's Tasmanian Devil, plus 75 of his duplicates.
@@Moonhermit- God dammit you beat me to it😂
Fans: "Sooooo what will the Mangler Squig idle animations look like?"

Warhammer animators really had a field day with these huh...
I feel like whoever made the Mangler Squigs and the Nurglings HAVE to have been the same person
@@Canadian_Zac UUUh. Mangler squig doomstack vs nurgling doomstack! Get ready for an aneurysm
People, no way one person set this up. @@Canadian_Zac
The animations are a hot mess. Looks like complete rubbish.
@@BvzSA And I love it!
It's a universal rule that the more chaotic the visuals, the better classical music will fit.
i mean these gobo jumping cinematicaly fit really well with the music

Karl Franz: And i thought Saurins were bad.
"My god hand still shoots basic light magic that misses anyways"

Its wild how badly they crush even nurglings, the old goat.
@ Yah, makes me wonder if Greasus Goldtooth was the DLC Lord instead, they would give him the Gnoblar carried gold bed with how complex the movement is.
Bruh these are literally the most Greenskin units of Greenskin units
@ They are Gork and Morks personal chariots
One problem.
With a great fire power in distance.
Exemple, vampire coast, chaos dwarfs, the empire, dwarfs. You haven't problem for kill them.

This might get patched quickly. Then again, some chariot bugs still remain and some SE's still are really bad in duels.

Working perfectly, they are clearly the highest tier cav in the game

What's worst is the burnt kernels that don't pop
@@SmokeDrake No, "popkhorne" is what happened to that bloodthirster at 3:10.
*Heaven

Fighting an army of these things is like trying to fight a tornado filled with railroad spikes.
The entire Hanna-Barbera sound effect library couldnt do this unit justice

Yes I’m not the only one thinking about this movie
1: Meth Chain Chomp doomstack is based.
2: Vlad von Carstein as Dracula Flow is something I didn't know I needed, until now.

The flesh based cartoon dust-up brawl apparently absolutely wrecks not only in game, but also the UA-cam mobile bitrate. What glory.
It looks like one of those animations a new 3D artist would make that just goes completely wrong and does not do what the person originally intended, but kept anyways.
More and more I believe CA has been let loose off their chains with certain animations.
Dunno why
Squig du Soleil looking great this year
One of the craziest total war units of all time, I love them.
2:11 My God...
Reminds me of Gmod videos where the people just fly around for a walk animation. But that literally the unit and it's beautiful.
Now all we need is a Mangler Squig ragdoll in the Gmod Steam Workshop.
What was that in 3:08? Why did you give me the image of Skarbrand having a corset! Now I can't unsee it anymore, Idk if I can continue ny Skarbrand Campaign with 4K texture knowing he is wearing a corset.
Now we only need Sir David Attenborough to narrate this
But david attenborough, fucking hates toads.
I thought the squig hopping RIGHT in front of Skarbrand's head at 3:55 was an edit, but it's just the funniest squig ever.
That cinematic intro with the classical music underneath was so beautiful it almost made me tear up
The best vortex spell in the game
00:26 perfect camera angle
0:31 Truly....one of natures wonderous marvels!
What a wonderful opening, I hope nothing bad happens. *19 Squigs later*
"holy shit guys relax" - Skarbrand the Exiled One, Bloodthirster of Khorne
19 MANGLER SQUIGS AT RAM RANCH
Beautiful
Skarbrand getting melted by the squigs fucking killed me
1:52 "Pet Pitballs*"
This is even more violent, chaotic and beautiful as I expected it would be. And the music only enhanced it.
Even Khorne looking at this thinks "Man, chill with all the chaotic violence. Enough already"
I don’t know why but the mangler squid on the left of the title card looks like a minion from overlord with the face!
Another exellent vid okoii
this is purely why mangler squigs are made OP yet, to make okoii please all the viewers AND the devs for seeing this masterpiece !
big thanks CA and okoii to make my day even before its out !
Look mom Okoii started to cook again
*absolute CINEMA*
The most beautifully animated unit ever. Mangler squigs really epitomise grace, elegance and finesse.
This is one of the greatest pieces of art ever put onto UA-cam
Mr President a second thunderbarge has hit total war
Holy, those squigs got BUFFED. An extra 18 speed? nearly double the charge bonus? 24 more melee attack and 20 more melee defense? god, it’s beautiful.
The sheer joy I get out of each of these videos is simply a measurable Okoii. Thanks mate 👌
Mangler squigs represent chaos way better than any chaos unit.
It was only a matter of time. As soon as i saw the new units, I was looking forward to this. Perfection
man , that intro was amazing
the squigs ballett performance, showcasing its natural beauty in its chaos while the Gnoblins try to hold on for dear life.
marvelous
4:06 when he exited from the battle, the perfect quote came up to the right
Who would win?
-Giant elder demon, the embodiment of war and slaughter
-A pack of spoiled meatballs
They have the best animation with the nurgling
I love this time of year, the Mangler Squigs bounce around everywhere you look
Squidward : It's beautiful...
Quite possibly your finest work yet. The music choice was sublime.
Sent back down the Dracula Flow rabbit hole 😭 Thanks Okoii
Ok ok "Autistic beyblades" got me
Ah yes the classic mosh pit strategy
Whoever designed this unit has to be the same madlad who designed the nurglings. 😘
From the moment I first saw this unit in the CA showcase, the only thing I could think was "this, this is most Okoii memestack thing I have ever seen"... I was not disappointed.
deez are da squigs of all time ladz!!!!
I haven't heard Classical Music since Tom & Jerry.
Didn't expect to hear it again in a Mangler Squigs video out of every possibilities.
Vlad: "AAAAAhH, THE SQUIGS ARE BACK!"
Absolute peak. I love the mangers animation so much
i love the most chaotic units get the most eloquent music
The Doctor Bees reference 2:45
We've discovered a perpetual motion machine.
It's the Mangler Squig.
If Source engine physics was an enemy
I genuinely laughed, I love this. I love your videos they seriously pick me up man
The Symphony of Squig Fiery .
It... It's so beautiful! Like poetry in motion!
I think Rick and Morty once referenced "the blender dimension". Never thought I'd get to actually see it!

The goblin that came up with the idea of chaining two squigs together was a mastermind.
Although, i suspect he isn't with us anymore
This video sold me on a DLC faster than any promo trailer ever could.
A work of art and enough to make a grown man cry, and that's okay. Truly, truly, beautiful.
One wonders how many charlemagnes this cost to make.
My god, this is beautiful. Majestic. I mean seriously, this is the best unit to add to the game in years.
That's 19 of the cutest bit rate killers I've ever seen.
0:21 This legit brought a tear to my eye.
those names killed me my insurance doesn't cover comedic damage.
ill foot you the bill
Okoii in creating this doomstack has discovered the single highest values of plot armor in all of media, The goblins flying around inside these squig clouds
God dammit, now i'm gonna have to buy even more mangler squigs for my Gloomspites army
How that army isn't entangling itself into a Myr Battlesphere-like amalgamation is truly a miracle of Gork and Mork.
“Other people’s Dogs” Is a genuinely hilarious name
I'm not a big fan of AoS but I really hope we get more AoS units like this because this shit is incredible
Mangler squigs were an 8th ed Fantasy unit. So AoS adjacent.
@bobsickle2336 the more ya know
One of the only things more chaotic than a Nurgling Doomstack, at least the Nurlings have some moments of coordination.
I love that the most chaotic unit ever in the game was not given to any Chaos faction.
Fools: “Aaaw the green skin dlc is disappointing”
Okoii: “this is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my entire life.”
