Bricky you really ought to try out the Chaos undivided faction; you can just choose any of the chaos gods; or undivided; or all of them; and do that in a really good sort of "base" template
If you wanted any additional insights on how you view these games, I'd reccommend checking our Mandalore Gaming's review videos on any of the Total Warhammer series.
Note about the Ogre's: not only they arguably have some of the most op units in the game, their whole reason for finding the bear god is to eat it......that's it...just want a god bear bbq
Fun fact: In Skarbrand's campaign starting area, You can find a CHAINSWORD which gives you additional damage and stacking Weapon Strength everytime you kill something
IIRC Chainsword is unlocked in the Khorne realm of chaos, and should you enter any other realm of chaos after obtaining it, Khorne will take it back from you. Meaning you should go for this weapon after obtaining the other 3 souls.
You can find the chainsword in the khorne realm. and its honestly not even that impressive because DAWRVES CAN BUILD ATTACK HELICOPTERS, WHY DOES NO ONE EVER BRING THAT UP
@@nullakjg767 true but Chainswords are not really confirmed in Warhammer Fantasy and don't forget that Slaughter and Carnage is 40k lore and you can find it at the edge of the map I think
@@grengrengrengren actually in the Liber Chaotica there is a chain sword in Fantasy and I’m pretty sure there’s other instances. Think the idea is back in the day when 40k and Fantasy were “connected” via the warp some made it through
For a decent breakdown daemons and their weaponry are creations of the warp respective to their deity. For example, tzeentch uses the typical magic, tomes and magically imbued weaponry however in this context 'magic' is split into two descriptions: the conjuring of ancient eldritch soul energies within the immaterium or 'warp' and the 'winds of magic' applicable to the materium. So magically imbued weapons are extremely diverse in which they can be imbued with warp energies AND the magic of the materium. Magic itself, both materium and immaterium, can be used in a similar fashion and is mastered by tzeentch followers. Now khorne does not necessarily 'hate' magic, what he hates is the abuse of RANGED magics. Fighting someone at ranged is dishonourable in khornes eyes and therefore he hates anything to do with that classification. HOWEVER, this line is met when skarbrand and similar daemons of khorne wield immaterium crafted and embued weaponry. Now some will say the skull cannons would be a dishonourable unit however remember this craft can still fight in close range and does not back down easy. In Khorne's wisdoms and ideaologies: as long as martial prowess and honor in battle is met, he cares not what weapons nor tools are used to acquire blood and skulls.
@@thegingerwon2795 Right?! It's just like bottled water, What a bunch of shills right? Nah man I only drink toilet water like a true water enthusiast I got u homie 🫵🏽👊🏽
@@heboric6136 There's a difference between getting sponsored by something and attempting to critique said thing as they're giving you money. I haven't seen Bricky rip into a sponsored product before (and if he has, let me know), but until I see that anything positive that he says about the game is suspect. _Especially_ since this is his first foray into Total War. I haven't seen him just straight up not caring who gives him the money and giving an honest review when the pressure isn't to review positively.
Im amazed that with Bricky's love for Left 4 Dead and Warhammer he has not played the Vermintide series. Honestly one of the pieces of Warhammer media out there, its extremely underrated series especially with with the 40K based Darktide coming out soon.
18:20 Yeah, big issue for big 4X strategy games is that, if I stop playing halfway through for a while, I'll forget most of what I'd done and just restart from the beginning.
Hey Bricky, in case you didn't know, while you're casting spells in combat you can hold down the mouse button and drag to point spells with tear-shaped or line attacks in different directions.
I remember finding that out accidentally while playing TWW II while playing as Dark elves and i went: "Wait, You can do that!?" It was also my 8th playthrough.
Yeah, this is the culmination of almost a decade's worth of work, and I imagine we'll see DLC expanding this game(along with, and especially for, Immortal Empires,) for close to a decade.
On the issue of information overload one of the most important tools is the province list button in the upper right corner of your screen. It shows you a list of all your provinces with a little hammer next to the ones you can build in. It saves you the trouble of having to zoom around the map looking for provinces to build in.
Welcome to Total War. Later down the line consider getting the first two Warhammer games because eventually CA will release a free dlc to combine the maps from the other games into one big one, as long as you have bought those games. In Warhammer 2, it's called Mortal Empries.
I love the framework for the game, personally I’m just waiting for the Mortal Empires update that combines the maps of total war warhammer 1, 2 and 3 and every playable faction and race within into a giant battle royale cluster fuck :) Also Lizardman gang
Hey Bricky, love the video but just wanted to let you know a couple useful things in the game if you're struggling at all. -Click and holding breath, line, or any other directional spell allows you to choose the direction -Alt+left click while selecting units moves them in formation -locking a group causes it to move at the same speed instead of an unlocked or randomly selected units which go as fast as they can and tend to goof up formations -Holding space shows you where your units are heading which is helpful in huge battles and sieges
Something absolutely hilarious about Skarbrand: The Unholy Manifestations every Daemon faction gets provide you bonuses in some shape or form. But Khorne has one where an enemy army spawns and IMMEDIATLY attacks you. But why? Those manifestations are supposed to HELP you, right? Well, it's because fighting that battle means more skulls, more money, more map movement, experience, maybe even a magic item. Yes, Khorne literally dumps people on your location, says "You want some good shit? Here, murder these guys for it." and peaces out.
the pacing and jokes and everything in your videos has really reached an awsome level of quality, it just makes anything interesting id watch one of your videos on pretty much anything
If this guy thinks WH3 is big (especially not having played the monstrously huge WH2), he will lose his mind when the Immortal Empires update drops. It combines all factions from all 3 games onto one world map.
Honestly, your quote of “This is the surface stuff, this is not even scratching the surface.” You are ABSOLUTELY correct, like holy shit you would need spend so much time covering a faction or two..like so many races.
The one problem the TW Warhammer games have always had is that coming off the game before it, it's gonna feel a bit... light on the content side. Like, you look at a roster like the High Elves or the Lizardmen and compare it to Kislev or Ogres, it's gonna feel a bit less light just off the amount of extra content the previous game has had. That being said, and with the Forge campaign getting REAL repetitive and kinda annoying after a while imo (as much as i do appreciate the narrative element and effort put in) i can certainly see the foundations for what can be with the combined map and the addition of later races and units. The games been a bit buggy for me personally, the old alt-tab glitch is still there, but i'm definitely excited for whats to come. does suck that it came out a week before both Witch Queen and Elden Ring though, two games that take priority for me lmao
I think it's great that Elden Ring came out. I have over 800 hours of warhammer 2, bit only after modding it to hell and only mortal empires. Getting a bit tired of Warhammer 3 without blood, sandbox, or the ability to customize my experience. So playing anything else is great for me.
@@Jonsoner Yeah it's all about waiting for the content and patches, people need to be patient with games as you don't just make a game in a click of a finger.
I think you'd really like Shogun 2, Bricky. It's an older Total War game that takes place in 1600s Japan, very historically authentic. Get to command whole legions of samurai as you try and become the military dictator of a country that's been in civil war for 100 years straight. Plus it also has a DLC that takes place in the 1860s if you just want to shoot everything with rifles and cannons.
I can't wait for immortal empires. Brickys head is gonna explode when he realizes there are like 14 more fully fleshed out factions each with on average four different campaigns and unique rosters and mechanics for each faction.
I started the podcast a couple weeks ago and now I’m on episode 24. I’ve been loving the content both on UA-cam and on the podcasts. I hope you can keep up the amazing work. It’s helped me tremendously with me getting into Warhammer nowadays.
what are the damn odds that just yesterday I had the epiphany of going through your vids explaining the races and then checking other vids about it and destroying my sleep schedule consuming Warhammer lore, just so today, as soon as I wake up you come and release a new vid about Warhammer again. It must be destiny telling me to completely sell my soul to this universe.
There's a button you can hold while casting directed spells that will let you change the way it's shaped. I think it's alt by default. It can help in cases like at 7:49 to sweep across the whole unit rather than just a chunk. There are a lot of little tricks like that that make things a little easier, but it can take a while to learn/discover them.
As a fan of the franchise "Total War:: Warhammer", it was really touching and lovely to see your reaction as "a neophyte" into this... "universe" ? I was seeing me in you, when i started. Excellent video, as always ! Cordially.
Hell yea, gotta love that Mandalore shout out at the end. Great video and honestly the perspective I needed to decide if I wanted to try it because I also have never played a total war game.
I would absolutely love if you’d do a faction overview for fantasy like you did for 40k but I know that would take a while which I’m fine with but if it’s too much for you that’s ok too. But if possible please do it it would be awesome to watch.
Yo bricky. You're gonna love to know this. In total warhammer 2 there's a gamemode called mortal empires that has a huge map with the factions from the first and second game combined. TWarhammer 3 will have the immortal empires that will combine all the 3 games into a single world map.
Don‘t want to make too much foreign advertisement but „Cody Bonds“ and „Zerkovich“ helped me a lot with the game. They are fun to watch so… maybe give it a go.
Im so happy you got a sponssorship for this Bricky!! Total War is always alot of time investment to even understand let alone play well and given how much you have on your plate all the time im glad you were able to even scratch the surface of the time and enjoyment you can get out of TWW3. i hope its something you can keep coming back to every now and then and keep chipping away at and having fun for a long time.
Interesting seeing someone's perspective who's never played TW before, its kinda funny, I've never heard people say they think Total War is very complex, there's even a joke around forums and stuff about when people ask for more features or diplomacy options that "its called Total War, not Total Diplomacy", basically meaning that it does its main thing well which are the RT Battles Glad you like the game and haven't had many major issues, as a LONG time veteran of the series this game is great, its a bit rough around the edges currently, but as this is CA's capstone project I'm confident it wont be long till everyone is saying its the best TW experience ever.
Bricky just remember Grandfather Nurgal loves you very much especially when you use his great unclean one's to spread his loving pestilence to the world.
The Vampire coast in a nutshell: Mannfred Von Carstein: You are without a doubt the worst vampire I've ever heard of. Luthor Harkon: But you *have* heard of me.
I haven't watched the full video, nor have I played any of the Total War games, but, this stuff reminds me of the Battle For Middle Earth game they had a long ass time ago, especially when he started talking about the Hero characters. And I'm for that.
Click and drag to change the direction of certain spells (pretty much all tear shaped, and column spells can be re-adjusted), you can use control groups to keep the formation of a bunch of troops as they charge, and imagine I had a third point to complete the rule of threes.
you HAVE to play the skaven when immortal empires or thanquol comes out. its like a 40k faction in a fantasy setting. nukes, automatic weapons, snipers, mortors etc. loads of fun.
This game feels like a big expansion for Total Warhammer, the new factions are cool, but there are much more iconic ones in the earlier games. I'm looking forward to when all the factions are brought together into one world with all the quality of life improvements and new features.
Amazing review! Awesome to see you in the WHF realm. Note for all those new players coming to TW; about Single player to Multiplayer. Just like 98% of RTS games, multiplayer is a completely different game. Micromanagement becomes 10 x more important.. fake charges, hiding units, flanking etc While SP allows you to make mistakes in battles. In MP, if you use the wrong unit to charge an enemy unit that can be GG. In SP, army blob doesnt punish you as much. MP, troop spread is crucial; you have all your strong units bunched, they can get charged and destroyed in seconds. Thats just the battles...MP full games makes the Red Wedding blush.
I'm a huge Total War fan so I'm going to leave you with something that took me over 8 months to realize in TWII. If you hold down the placement button on a cone-based spell, you can change the direction of the cone to line it up better.
God I hope when the Immortal Empires map (combined map of all 3 Warhammer Total War games) comes out, he buys the other two games and does a mini review for all the factions like this, and his impressions of each.
good for you bricky! its some tough shit to start. i got in on warhammer WITH total war you know. not in total but thats the passionate side of my following. and im sure me learning table top felt as jumbled as your first attempts. good for you bro!
I was in the exact same situation like you when it came to Warhammer Fantasy at first. I wasn't against it, but wasn't with it. Then, Mandalore did a review of Total War Warhammer 2 and it looked cool, but it still took a few more months before I bought it. Many, many hours later, I must admit that I think I like Warhammer Fantasy a bit more overall than 40k. And I have both Vermintide and Total War to thank for that. Both games characters, gameplay and a lot of cool visuals and designs just charmed me beyond belief. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your time with Warhammer 3.
I think that despite the surface similarities, both settings have very different strong suits. Fantasy is much less overtly "everything is shit," there's at least a little room for optimism despite the constant war and threat of Chaos cults and ratman swarms, but because the setting isn't at a galactic scale the stakes are more comprehensible and something doesn't have to be capable of depopulating a hundred planets before the other factions sit up and take notice.

Khorne: hates magic

Khorne: gets slightly more angrier
Those are not magic axes they are daemonic axes (which daemons are made from magic but what ever) made from flesh of Skarbrand's two family members
Khorne loves magical weaponry tho. Its a embodiment of magic enslaved to might.
For a decent breakdown daemons and their weaponry are creations of the warp respective to their deity. For example, tzeentch uses the typical magic, tomes and magically imbued weaponry however in this context 'magic' is split into two descriptions: the conjuring of ancient eldritch soul energies within the immaterium or 'warp' and the 'winds of magic' applicable to the materium.

I would build entire armies of cannons in that game because they were so satisfying to shoot and blow things up with. Definitely recommend to Bricky.

Congrats on the sponsor Bricky! You deserve it! I really enjoyed hearing your take on the game being new to the series. Excellent job!
Bricky just remember Grandfather Nurgal loves you very much especially when you use his great unclean one's to spread his loving pestilence to the world.
Bricky: “this is a bit much”
Me: “Have you seen Immortal empires?”
every time I’ve walked by my roommate’s door this week I’ve seen this on his monitor
without fail.
The Vampire coast in a nutshell:
Mannfred Von Carstein: You are without a doubt the worst vampire I've ever heard of.
Luthor Harkon: But you *have* heard of me.
I haven't watched the full video, nor have I played any of the Total War games, but, this stuff reminds me of the Battle For Middle Earth game they had a long ass time ago, especially when he started talking about the Hero characters.
And I'm for that.
man i wish he would know about the true Warhammer 3 game (talking about immortel empires)
hey Bricky, give Rimworld a try, i think you will really enjoy it, its right up your alley
Click and drag to change the direction of certain spells (pretty much all tear shaped, and column spells can be re-adjusted), you can use control groups to keep the formation of a bunch of troops as they charge, and imagine I had a third point to complete the rule of threes.
There is nothing quite like hearing hundreads of Daemonettes scream and charge at your enemies.
if you like heroes on mobility scooters you should try tww2 lizardmen
I expect a Every Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar Faction Explained video.
“Nurgle wants to make bear stew, Slaneesh wants the soul, and Khorne wants the skull.” Tzeentch probably just wants the others not to have it.
Kairos wants the eyes
Ku'gath and his epic gamer chair vs Greasus "too rich to walk" Goldtooth
WHY DID I NOT KNOW YOU HAD MADE A TOTAL WAR VIDEO
If you want overpowered abusive play throughs just check the spiffing Brit for all “balanced” builds
Oh man, that cinematic at 00:30 is from Mark of Chaos, pretty fuckin solid Warhammer RTS from way back. Shut was my childhood.
The demon prince campaign surprised me the most because the legendary lord is insanely customizable.
Wait until mortal empires shows up in a years time and we get the other 69 factions across 15 different races.
"This video is sponsored by Total War Warhammer 3" Bricky's done it now
you HAVE to play the skaven when immortal empires or thanquol comes out. its like a 40k faction in a fantasy setting. nukes, automatic weapons, snipers, mortors etc. loads of fun.
1:55 Only hell.. I totally burst out my water....
4:11 he almost sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger hahahaha
This game feels like a big expansion for Total Warhammer, the new factions are cool, but there are much more iconic ones in the earlier games. I'm looking forward to when all the factions are brought together into one world with all the quality of life improvements and new features.
Im convinced...it actually seems pretty dope! great vid bricky, always 10/10 content bro.
9:47 ah, yes... Terminalmontage
You should play imortal empires i would love to hear your take on the empire, and skaven
@Bricky what's the story wishbone" your editor is a goat! Brought back my childhood!
17:39 But ya'know... multiple armies of miniatures aint cheap!
For those wanting a more in depth review of the game. Mandalore gaming did an amazing job
Bricky’s gonna have super overload if he ever plays the combined map from all 3 games lol
13:38 I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be like a Silk Road, not the oregan trail.
That cheeky smile at the start of the sponsorship, love Bricky
Ya also gotta love how Yuri appears on the main campaign as the leader of Chaos Undivided
14:09 When your Twitch chat basically call you a dunce.
Amazing review! Awesome to see you in the WHF realm.
Note for all those new players coming to TW; about Single player to Multiplayer.
Just like 98% of RTS games, multiplayer is a completely different game. Micromanagement becomes 10 x more important.. fake charges, hiding units, flanking etc
While SP allows you to make mistakes in battles.
In MP, if you use the wrong unit to charge an enemy unit that can be GG.
In SP, army blob doesnt punish you as much.
MP, troop spread is crucial; you have all your strong units bunched, they can get charged and destroyed in seconds.
Thats just the battles...MP full games makes the Red Wedding blush.
17:02 bro the bear is bullying the fat guy
Bricky, you will see the nurgle legendary in the dark imperium trilogy(40k novels) where ku'gath is wallowing in self pity and depression
The cabinet of shame in the back is beautiful lol
Glad you loved the one Daemon army in Skarbrand :D, he's so much fun.
I’m now waiting for ‘every warhammer fantasy faction explained/in a nut shell’
Wait until he discovers fantasy Orks and the gigachad known as Grimgor
That was one of my favourite ad intros yet
I'm a huge Total War fan so I'm going to leave you with something that took me over 8 months to realize in TWII. If you hold down the placement button on a cone-based spell, you can change the direction of the cone to line it up better.
God I hope when the Immortal Empires map (combined map of all 3 Warhammer Total War games) comes out, he buys the other two games and does a mini review for all the factions like this, and his impressions of each.
good for you bricky! its some tough shit to start. i got in on warhammer WITH total war you know. not in total but thats the passionate side of my following. and im sure me learning table top felt as jumbled as your first attempts. good for you bro!
Ogres, my lord!
I fucking love the sponsorship transition. I honestly didn’t expect it.
I was in the exact same situation like you when it came to Warhammer Fantasy at first. I wasn't against it, but wasn't with it. Then, Mandalore did a review of Total War Warhammer 2 and it looked cool, but it still took a few more months before I bought it.
Many, many hours later, I must admit that I think I like Warhammer Fantasy a bit more overall than 40k. And I have both Vermintide and Total War to thank for that. Both games characters, gameplay and a lot of cool visuals and designs just charmed me beyond belief. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your time with Warhammer 3.
I think that despite the surface similarities, both settings have very different strong suits. Fantasy is much less overtly "everything is shit," there's at least a little room for optimism despite the constant war and threat of Chaos cults and ratman swarms, but because the setting isn't at a galactic scale the stakes are more comprehensible and something doesn't have to be capable of depopulating a hundred planets before the other factions sit up and take notice.
