Kormak was the only follower of Valkia to not abandon her on her quest to deliver Locephax's skull to the skull throne when she was mortal. The quest claimed their lives as they were ripped apart by deamons. Khorne granted her ascension to daemonhood and her first act was to raise Kormak from the dead and turn him into a champion of khorne.
@@koca987 The games may not be ‘canon’, but she can get the trait ‘Daemonic’ through her skill tree as well. Also, didn’t Kormak only have 1 arm? I guess when he got turned to brass he grew it back.
@@fukyomammason The weird thing is that all Legendary Lords for Warriors of Chaos now get a skill in their skill tree that gives them the Daemonic trait. I'm not sure how to interpret that from a lore standpoint. They aren't fully transformed into Daemons like what happens with mortals that ascend to Daemon Princes. Seems to me like they only get abilities similar to Daemons, while not fully becoming a true Daemon like Daemon Princes do.
When she was a mortal queen of Norsca, a Slaaneshi daemon prince sought her out to take her as his paramour. She was so enraged she launched herself into a berserker frenzy and took his head off. No mean feat by any measure for a mortal to take out a daemon prince. She then set out on the path to lay the head at the foot of the Bloody Throne. Along this path, she met her end, and ultimately her ascension to become Sword Maiden of the Blood God. The head was then embedded into her daemon shield
Kormak is character from lore and has a unique trait . I think you should keep him in Valkia's army and don't change his name. Also, Khorne and magic is tricky since he hates it.
Agreed. Kormak was the last of her followers to follow her to the end. After everyone else either, died, deserted or betrayed her. After Kormak died, to second to die before Valkia fell as well, Valkia ressurected him after she earned her status her Daemon Princess and Consort to Khorne.
Kormak is basically Valkia’s ride or die. They’re probably one of the few examples of genuine loyalty and platonic partners in Chaos. He’s not necessarily a major player but I think you should keep him as is in Valkias army. As for a Tim… I dunno man, maybe just stay to theme with Khorne and forget about any of that magic stuff.
Kormak shouldn't be renamed and should stay in Valkia's army in my opinion. He was her most loyal follower while she was mortal, and Valkia's first act was to raise Kormak from the dead when she returned from Khorne's realm. He also rides a skullcrusher if I remember correctly.
This is one of my favorite Warhammer channels because you just play through and use a variety of units instead of min/maxing. Much more enjoyable to watch
I can see it now in the camp. Even the Warriors of Khorne fear the moment their leader walk towards them leading chaos steeds. They know that even the Masochists of Slaneesh don’t want to join the Lionheart cavalry. That’s why the unit size drops so much to become cavalry, the desertion rate 😂
"When the Daemon Prince of Slaanesh known as Locephax came into her hall, intrigued by her feral beauty, and commanded her to leave her throne and join him as a slave girl, the warrior-queen took up her great spear, Slaupnir, and in a berserk rage, slew the Daemon and swore that she would lay its head at the base of Khorne's Skull Throne in the Blood God's Domain. Though she died on the journey, Khorne was impressed with her devotion. From death he elevated her to daemonhood as his Daemon Princess." Further on: "When a servant of Slaanesh, a disguised Daemon Prince known as Locephax, came into Valkia's hall and, smitten by her feral beauty, commanded that she abandon the life of a monarch to service his depraved needs as a harem-girl, the proud warrior-queen flew into the berserker rage and demanded a duel between her and the Daemon Prince. Thinking that he could easily best a mortal woman in battle, Locephax gladly agreed and staged the duel the next day. At dusk, Valkia fought the Daemon Prince without armour. For a day and a night the two combatants fought hard. In the raging maelstrom of sparking blades, Valkia slowly succumbed to a blazing inner rage which prevented her from falling prey to a loss of focus or fatigue against her immortal opponent and saw her through the fight. With a mighty thrust, Valkia finally ended the duel when she struck off the Daemon Prince's head with her barbed spear. Victorious, Valkia affixed the severed but still whispering head of the Daemon to her shield, and swore before her tribe that she would carry it to the Chaos Wastes and place it at the very foot of Khorne's throne. Such a boast was not to be taken lightly, but everyone in the tribe knew that their queen would go to any length to earn the favour of her chosen Chaos God."
When ya really stop to think about it, Valkia chopping off a Daemon Prince’s head, while she was still a mortal woman at that, is rather impressive. I mean sure, the guy’s a Slaaneshi, so he probably wasn’t a tank, but this is still a Daemon Prince we are talking about here, that guy was definitely more durable than your average Chaos Warrior
@@TotallyNotAlpharius the second part says that it was two days of constant fighting before she went into a berserker rage and suddenly cut his head off with her spear.. My guess that means that Khorne was sitting there watching her and enjoying the show before deciding to influence the outcome and increasing her strength and brutality enough to FINISH HIM!
@@jaratt85 point still stands though, cus she was able to go toe to toe with a Daemon Prince for two days and didn’t die in the attempt. Seriously, Valkia was terrifying even before she became tireless, immortal, could fly, or any of the other stuff she can do now that she has Daemonhood
@@TotallyNotAlpharius welcome to the path of glory, it's what they all aspire to be. Belief is a scary thing, even in our world you can achieve superhuman things if you believe you can and don't let your mind tell you otherwise. (Like Jackie Chan going up 15 foot tall a wall without a wire, people lifting cars solo to get someone out from under it etc.) Belief and devotion to that belief, gives the followers of Chaos their in, and even subtly they start to change in ways that they still (mostly) look human but they get bigger and more feral and stronger and faster, add to that a life of constant warfare honing every instinct and muscle and they become able to do some amazing things, even before Khorne starts bestowing gifts. By that point they don't say what she looked like other than supposedly being pretty hot in a feral sort of way (I'm guessing sort of like She-Hulk) so who knows how many gifts had been bestowed upon her... I mean look at how many tribes she had already slain, you can't tell me Khorne hadn't already noticed and helped her out..
You know what I want more than anything (when it comes to games) right now? (and I have for a LONG time) A single player RPG where you go through the process of the Path Of Glory (great title) where you start out as just some random Marauder in someone's army and you work towards becoming a Champion, then Chosen, then you work along a few different options and your choices are reflected by which god chooses to bestow gifts on you and you ultimately get to decide whether you want to be Undivided or stick to one god.. Then you slowly work you way up getting more and more gifts and if you accept too many gifts there's always the chance that you suddenly devolve into a Chaos Spawn at which point you go on a massive killing spree within a set amount of time and if you kill enough you might just earn daemonhood, if not.. off to the Chaos Realm you go and there's the end of the game. The paths you can choose is to become a human warlord allied to the Chaos Gods, the path to becoming a Sorcerer, or the ultimate choice the path to becoming a Daemon Prince and ultimately a Greater Daemon. At any time you happen to die in battle there'd be the chance (depending on how much you've done in their name) that the gods might save you, turn you into a spawn, or just let you die like the weak pathetic worm you are. It's a side of things you don't get the chance to play in video games often enough (if at all) getting to become the ultimate evil and showing the path to your downfall is such an interesting narrative... especially if you have a morality system as well that even gives you the option of being Chaotic Good where (like the young Skywalker) yes you are committing evil acts in service of dark gods but you may be doing it for the "right reasons" either trying to use their own power against them or to save your people or whatever. (like Urlf Daemonkin in 'The God of the Snagr' that was the Chieftain seeking power for his people.)
I don't mind playing a first person of warhammer total war of your character starting from the lowest rank like a Swordsman or a Spearman to a captain over time leading a company of your own unit in both a small/big battle where you cause the outcome of a event/battle by a bit.
Remember that there's an easy way to check if a settlement has walls. See that symbol above the name of your capital that kinda looks like a crown? That's supposed to be crenelation and signifies if a settlement has walls or not.
If you do decide to give Kormac, a title I would call him Kormac the Reforged. Fits the story and sounds cool to me. I also think The Red Maw would be a cool name for a unit of Khorne's Warhounds
A name suggestion for Tim: Tim the Unchanter - a Khorne spellcaster with no idea he can do magic, who honestly has no idea why magic keeps happening around him
That animation is 🔥 . Along side the blood pack this is brilliant! I was pretty sure I was going to do a be'lakor campaign first but this has me rethinking! looks amazing!
I've just gotta log in and say so happy to see some old-style content! No stream interruptions and memes, just a good ol lionheart video, so much more enjoyable!
Sometimes you should occupy a minor settlement to just get money from your vassal to trade it to them. To stop other factions that you are not a war with from claiming them.
For an Exalted Hero I nominate the name "Wodewick the Wed Weaver" - who embodied the fury of khorne against all those who made fun of his lisp. If he follows his path of glory you can give him another name. Also gonna suggest: Valkias Vanguard, The Bloody Blades, The Red Winter
Amazing content as usual. Gripped with this lets play, looking forward to Thursday. Love how important it is to keep your units alive and not be so expendable else you miss on levelling them up to better units.
when u occupy a settlement you can give it to your vassals for trade and improving relations just make sure u border your vassals.Instead of razing settlements it is just easier to gift them instead
I will say, you've had some very good use of the chaos dogs in this video, not losing any of them in the attack on Grond was very impressive, and focusing down the archers was great micro-management. Maurauder horsemen with their thrown weapons and speed are very good harrasing units, don't have to charge em in just let em attack units already engaged in fights (or off on their own) while keeping away, would work well to keep them paired with the skull crushers as they can hold down most enemies. Can I suggest giving your Hero some charge bonus?
so the Shield. a bit of context. something that might not be apparent due to her model ingame but. Valkia was HOT! like she was the archetypical badass warrior queen. Valkia's tribe was visited by Locephax, a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh who sought to plunder him some ass; Valkia's and her daughters' to be precise. While her daughters started to succumb to the daemon's beguilement, Valkia's Khornate faith enabled her to resist Locephax's powers. She responded by killing him in a duel, cutting his head off, and mounting it on her shield. LIKE A BOSS. Oh, and the head's still alive and trash-talks her regularly. Also that Hero Unit you have i assume was one of the last people loyal to her who she made a badass chaos warrior. over all Valkia is awesome.
Loinheart, please name some Marauders of Khorne “the Butcherhorde of Kharn”. It’s the name of Kharn the Betrayer’s war and in 40k and deserves to be part of Valkia’s army!
'David Attenborough voice': and as Lionheart decided to taunt chat and the universe more cavalry only continued to die under his watchful eye. Sadly many and more Cavalry have perished to this day.
Bloodreaver Scroll 1 (Be a little funny make a Chaos Warrior unit called Cubheart Corrupted. Hopefully you can get Bloodletters, like to submit the name Bloodreavers Exalted) The battle had been more or less successful but nothing much to stop the Gorequeens eventual journey through the Chaos Rifts into the mortal realm. Regiments upon regiments of Khorne’s Bloodletters even now we’re roaring and baying to be finally unleashed into the Mortal Realm for Khornes name. Well, most of them would have to wait. But Bloodreaver and some other Bloodletters in a handful of Khorne Regiments were already going to jump through into the mortal realm to get started after the Gorequeen. The consort of Khorne may have his favor but like any other daemon, they had to deal with daemons of all types trying to gain favor with Khorne or looking to knock down his champions to become the next ones. And while Bloodreaver wasn’t looking to become a Champion, he like many other daemons simply despised the consort of Khorne for various nonsensical reasons. But now, as the regiment Bloodreaver was in came to a rift within Khornes Realm of Chaos, there were the other regiments as their banners of human skin flapped in the breeze and the brass and bronze horns of the regiments blew into the air as soon they all charged through. The rift would not be opened for much longer but as Bloodreaver managed to rush through, the rift soon closed behind him as his red scales felt the chill of the northern wastes of the mortal realm. But something was wrong as he suddenly found himself staring at dozens of slain slaves and cultists while a familiar figure strode forward towards the newly summoned Bloodletters. “Bow to my will.” Muttered the Gorequeen, Valois the Bloody, as she was within the newly taken hold of Dagraks End, A few Bloodletters went to bow but suddenly Bloodreaver hissed as he shouted, “We do not follow your command, Gorequeen! Only the commands of the Blood God!” Valkia was smiling but soon it faded as she shouted, pointing her spear towards the Bloodletter, “And yet you have come through by my hand! You are bound to my will!” Bloodreaver and a few other Bloodletters gave hisses at this but then suddenly they all felt their muscles begin to weaken as a single voice went through them, one familiar to all present. “ *Obey.* “ The Bloodletters only quailed at their true masters voice for a moment before finally one of the Exalted Bloodletters nearby shouted at Bloodreaver and the rest, “We follow the Gorequeen! In the name of the Blood God!” The Bloodletters began to roar and scream as a few blew the bronze horns they carried and Bloodreaver soon joined in as he let his daemon in voice howl across the icy winds.
You should keep any resource settlements for your self as they will provide bonuses for your faction granted they ain't great but they'll add up, also be careful about how much territory you give to your vassals they could turn on you later on in the campaign and if they have a lot of territory it could make them pretty strong and a pain to deal with. same applies to your other campaign as well
@@lionheartx10 well thats good to know was watching legend of total war other day and he was keeping his vassals to only one region so they didn't turn on him or if they did was easier to squish
You have to keep Kormak. He's part of Valkia's history. One of her clan members who traveled to the chaos wastes on her pilgrimage. Her shield is a Slaanesh demon that was sent to her to try and seduce her away from Khorne. She killed it and nailed it's head to her shield
Chaos Lord Samoth Name replacement suggestion, 1. Ragnar the Ruthless, 2. Bolton The Bastard 3. Roose the Heartless, 4. Walder the Butcher, 5. Sir Gregor the Beast, 6. Euron the Merciless.
You can sack and then occupy to then abandon the settlement the next turn and tell your vassal to occupy the ruin, it's a bit convoluted but it does save you a turn
Please don’t get rid of/rename Kormak, as a bunch of other people have said, he’s actual a character in the lore. As for a Chaos Sorcerer . . . It’s a Khorne army. Maybe put one in a Undivided army, but definitely not in a Khorne one
I've played the first battle of this campaign a few times and while I don't lose or lose any units I still take such heavy damage from the spell this character can cast.
I agree with others that since Kormak is not a random hero but a character from her lore, he should stay in her army. Also one small idea - since you use Chaos warhounds for now, I would recommend to take a look at Fleshhounds of Khorne, since they are really strong for a "dog" unit. They can kill even some cavalry. Much better than regular Chaos warhounds. (+ they're demonic so they're not running like cowards after only small damage like warhounds)
I'm glad that I was able to this episode so early. Unit name suggesstions: For the Marauders of Khorne, we have the Bronze boys, Red Rippers, The Crimson Harvest, Brass Brawlers, Blood hands and Hack n Slash(Double Weapons) Skullcrushers or Juggernauts: Clifford's pack Marauder Horsemen: The Eternal Sacrifice
Crazy idea; How many Warhammer UA-camrs would it take to cover all order aligned nations and resist the end times? See If it's an inevitable bad end or not.
Timmy the Child Beserker - A very young khorne worshipper that garnered Khorne’s attention and it humoured Khorne. That was until Kislevites killed him. Khorne was very upset and resurrected him as a champion. He only screams three words. His own name, Khorne and blood.
A suggestion for Ragnar's name: Lord Hellreaver. It touches on his past title and while also acknowledging his ascendancy to demonhood, AND gives him a lofty title befitting of a prince!
Name suggestion: Samoth "Flaming Spectacle of Blood" 1st Army suggestions: All-in on the skull crushers as cav, 6 is a good number for heavy cav and heavy infantry army, rush-em to your foes line to hold the line then when the infantry arrive to take their place, then send the skull crushers behind the enemy, after which you keep making them charge by cycling the J button so on and so forth, watch the blood and gore in replay and you'll know what I'm talking about. 2nd army suggestions: Half and half, valkia already represent's the all khorn army. I recommend making half of all infantry as aspiring champions and half as halberd then the rest can vary.
i do kinda wish there was a lore of khorne and it was all just buff spells to ur units since the way ive heard it is khorne doesn't hate magic in general its he hates magic that deals damage from afar cus its cowardly. It could even be more of a battle priest like the empire or kislev or maybe more like how a dwarf runesmith works
a few names and upgrade route for marauders the over zealots: marauders that goes up to Aspiring Champions and after 2 battles with them upgrad them to chaos spawn the failures: marauders of Khorne to forsaken of Khorne to chaos spawn of Khorne the Queen's guard: marauders of Khorne up to chosen of Khorne with shields
A Exalted Hero, Bythor The Betrayed, twin brother of a norscan chieftain who’s wife and son were slaughtered by his brother before he was to be sacrificed to Slannesh. In rage he broke free and escaped, his will to live only around to slaughter his brother and any follower of Slannesh he can find.
Bloodthirster name suggestion: The Red Baron / The Bloody Baron Wreckless Abandon Devil's Destroyer Soulgrinder: The Red Menace Crimson Carnage Brutalities Best Marauders: The Skin-flayers Mighty Misfits Raw Axe Appeal Marauder horsemen/Skullcrushers: The Hell-striders The Night-Mares The Bulky Boys
So if you get to a point where you can recruit units at a high rank can you just automatically upgrade them? I wonder if the costs are better to recruit chaff and upgrade them or recruit the better units straight. I’m curious to see 😁
Any troops unless specified Beheaders - axe infantry Crimson Blades of Khorne - khorne warriors Khorne’s Letter Openers - blood letters Great Blades of Norse The Gorequeen’s Chosen Khorne Warriors - Bloody Tims (just all of them are called Tim) ValKia’s fury. The Northern Blood Skull Chewers - hounds Bone Chompers of Khorne - hounds
You gotta keep that exalted hero with her, and leave his name as Kormak, because lore wise, he is Valkia's biggest simp, who prised her so hard, she brought him back from the grave to simp for her as a deamon
Unit name suggestions: Warriors or Skullcrushers of Khorne - The Brass Band Any Khorne Unit - Puddle of Blood, The Meatgrinders Bloobletters - Red Hot Chili Slappers
I agree with everyone else about not changing Kormak's name, but maybe since Khorne hates magic so much you could add a title to it. Maybe "Kormak the Tim Destroyer" or something along those lines.

Remember that there's an easy way to check if a settlement has walls. See that symbol above the name of your capital that kinda looks like a crown? That's supposed to be crenelation and signifies if a settlement has walls or not.
When you raise a city it pushes your army back from the direction you approach the city, you can use this to get extra movement.
So all it takes for Lionheart not to kill the calvary is to have them be extremely heavy armored and they give exaltations to the Blood God!

Lionheart: "Look at that guy's beard! [...] What product do you use?"
Marauder: "Blood"
Amazing job on the cinematic setups with that first battle, definitely makes me want to watch more
Finally, a butt-kicking evil lady protagonist! This will be brutal - literally!
If you do decide to give Kormac, a title I would call him Kormac the Reforged. Fits the story and sounds cool to me. I also think The Red Maw would be a cool name for a unit of Khorne's Warhounds
I imagine khornes face of displeasure when he sees valkia with a chaos sorcerer
"Aww some really lovely beards. What product do you use?"
Blood. Obviously. Lol
A name suggestion for Tim: Tim the Unchanter - a Khorne spellcaster with no idea he can do magic, who honestly has no idea why magic keeps happening around him
I’d like to imagine that it also pisses him off a lot when it happens
That animation is 🔥 . Along side the blood pack this is brilliant! I was pretty sure I was going to do a be'lakor campaign first but this has me rethinking! looks amazing!
I've just gotta log in and say so happy to see some old-style content! No stream interruptions and memes, just a good ol lionheart video, so much more enjoyable!
Sometimes you should occupy a minor settlement to just get money from your vassal to trade it to them. To stop other factions that you are not a war with from claiming them.
For an Exalted Hero I nominate the name "Wodewick the Wed Weaver" - who embodied the fury of khorne against all those who made fun of his lisp. If he follows his path of glory you can give him another name.
Also gonna suggest: Valkias Vanguard, The Bloody Blades, The Red Winter
Unit name suggestion: the butchers of schwarzvolf
Amazing content as usual. Gripped with this lets play, looking forward to Thursday. Love how important it is to keep your units alive and not be so expendable else you miss on levelling them up to better units.
An hour, 1 minute, and 56 seconds, lionheart: happy happy days
Valkia: UNRELENTING MURDER!!
The resource buildings are all giving widely different buffs, so i would recommend getting all settlements that have a resource ;)
love it first battle loses 19 units and Ghrond lose 760 units and yet its a "close" victory
The art for the khorne marauders look so GREAT!
the product of many maurder units use for beard upkeep, is the blood of their enemies, and the occasional bit of weapon grease they can get.
Unit name suggestion
Marauders of Korne: The Bloodied Beards (since that’s how they’re beards are so majestic)
That battle animation for Valkia, so beautiful, so bloody.
when u occupy a settlement you can give it to your vassals for trade and improving relations just make sure u border your vassals.Instead of razing settlements it is just easier to gift them instead
it also allows u to replenish and recruit
16:30
Lionheart: what product do you use?
That guy : blood of my enemies
I will say, you've had some very good use of the chaos dogs in this video, not losing any of them in the attack on Grond was very impressive, and focusing down the archers was great micro-management. Maurauder horsemen with their thrown weapons and speed are very good harrasing units, don't have to charge em in just let em attack units already engaged in fights (or off on their own) while keeping away, would work well to keep them paired with the skull crushers as they can hold down most enemies.
Can I suggest giving your Hero some charge bonus?
Factions destroyed each turn:
Turn 1: 4
Turn 2: 2
Turn 3: 2
Turn 4: 2 again which is weird
Turn 5: 8
Turn 6: 0
Turn 7: 8
Turn 8: 7
Turn 9: 6
Turn 10: 2
you may want to forget about getting a spellcaster in a Khorne faction
thank you for zooming in. most other youtubers don't. as if that's why we come to watch them micro
so the Shield.
a bit of context. something that might not be apparent due to her model ingame but. Valkia was HOT! like she was the archetypical badass warrior queen.
Valkia's tribe was visited by Locephax, a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh who sought to plunder him some ass; Valkia's and her daughters' to be precise. While her daughters started to succumb to the daemon's beguilement, Valkia's Khornate faith enabled her to resist Locephax's powers. She responded by killing him in a duel, cutting his head off, and mounting it on her shield. LIKE A BOSS. Oh, and the head's still alive and trash-talks her regularly.
Also that Hero Unit you have i assume was one of the last people loyal to her who she made a badass chaos warrior.
over all Valkia is awesome.
Loinheart, please name some Marauders of Khorne “the Butcherhorde of Kharn”. It’s the name of Kharn the Betrayer’s war and in 40k and deserves to be part of Valkia’s army!
'David Attenborough voice': and as Lionheart decided to taunt chat and the universe more cavalry only continued to die under his watchful eye. Sadly many and more Cavalry have perished to this day.
I've been needing a pure khorne playthrough for a long time, the definitely is the fix I needed.
Bloodreaver Scroll 1
(Be a little funny make a Chaos Warrior unit called Cubheart Corrupted. Hopefully you can get Bloodletters, like to submit the name Bloodreavers Exalted)
The battle had been more or less successful but nothing much to stop the Gorequeens eventual journey through the Chaos Rifts into the mortal realm. Regiments upon regiments of Khorne’s Bloodletters even now we’re roaring and baying to be finally unleashed into the Mortal Realm for Khornes name.
Well, most of them would have to wait. But Bloodreaver and some other Bloodletters in a handful of Khorne Regiments were already going to jump through into the mortal realm to get started after the Gorequeen.
The consort of Khorne may have his favor but like any other daemon, they had to deal with daemons of all types trying to gain favor with Khorne or looking to knock down his champions to become the next ones. And while Bloodreaver wasn’t looking to become a Champion, he like many other daemons simply despised the consort of Khorne for various nonsensical reasons.
But now, as the regiment Bloodreaver was in came to a rift within Khornes Realm of Chaos, there were the other regiments as their banners of human skin flapped in the breeze and the brass and bronze horns of the regiments blew into the air as soon they all charged through. The rift would not be opened for much longer but as Bloodreaver managed to rush through, the rift soon closed behind him as his red scales felt the chill of the northern wastes of the mortal realm.
But something was wrong as he suddenly found himself staring at dozens of slain slaves and cultists while a familiar figure strode forward towards the newly summoned Bloodletters.
“Bow to my will.” Muttered the Gorequeen, Valois the Bloody, as she was within the newly taken hold of Dagraks End,
A few Bloodletters went to bow but suddenly Bloodreaver hissed as he shouted, “We do not follow your command, Gorequeen! Only the commands of the Blood God!”
Valkia was smiling but soon it faded as she shouted, pointing her spear towards the Bloodletter, “And yet you have come through by my hand! You are bound to my will!”
Bloodreaver and a few other Bloodletters gave hisses at this but then suddenly they all felt their muscles begin to weaken as a single voice went through them, one familiar to all present.
“ *Obey.* “
The Bloodletters only quailed at their true masters voice for a moment before finally one of the Exalted Bloodletters nearby shouted at Bloodreaver and the rest, “We follow the Gorequeen! In the name of the Blood God!”
The Bloodletters began to roar and scream as a few blew the bronze horns they carried and Bloodreaver soon joined in as he let his daemon in voice howl across the icy winds.
Horsemen: the crimson hooves
really loving the 2 new series, looking forward to seeing more of them!
Scwartzvolf I believe is in Norsca and means White Wolf. Then again, I have been wrong before.
It means black wolf.
(Edit) It's also a name of a tribe. Not a location.
You should keep any resource settlements for your self as they will provide bonuses for your faction granted they ain't great but they'll add up, also be careful about how much territory you give to your vassals they could turn on you later on in the campaign and if they have a lot of territory it could make them pretty strong and a pain to deal with. same applies to your other campaign as well
Iirc vassals never rebel or turn against you.
@@lionheartx10 well thats good to know was watching legend of total war other day and he was keeping his vassals to only one region so they didn't turn on him or if they did was easier to squish
Lionheart: "Happy, happy days...." UNRELENTING MURDER!!!!!!!!
I like how he cackles when the gorequeen is chasing down some dark elf missile troops lol.
You have to keep Kormak. He's part of Valkia's history. One of her clan members who traveled to the chaos wastes on her pilgrimage. Her shield is a Slaanesh demon that was sent to her to try and seduce her away from Khorne. She killed it and nailed it's head to her shield
YESSS Valkia is one of my absolute favorite WH characters and I'm so happy you picked her. Honestly 40k needs a version of her so badly
Demons and or humans, in this situation. Any mix. Of this faction. Is a situation of nightmares, becoming reality.
Chaos Lord Samoth Name replacement suggestion,
1. Ragnar the Ruthless,
2. Bolton The Bastard
3. Roose the Heartless,
4. Walder the Butcher,
5. Sir Gregor the Beast,
6. Euron the Merciless.
Don't underestimate the fleshounds lionheart! They're actually very good. They're more like war lions for the high elves
"Don't look a auto resolve gift horse in the mouth."
"Give dave over to the undevided army."
"Plan A."
You can sack and then occupy to then abandon the settlement the next turn and tell your vassal to occupy the ruin, it's a bit convoluted but it does save you a turn
Please don’t get rid of/rename Kormak, as a bunch of other people have said, he’s actual a character in the lore.
As for a Chaos Sorcerer . . . It’s a Khorne army. Maybe put one in a Undivided army, but definitely not in a Khorne one
I've played the first battle of this campaign a few times and while I don't lose or lose any units I still take such heavy damage from the spell this character can cast.
kormak the bloody executioner
Blood for the blood god! skull for the skull throne! and milk for korne cornflakes!! : name for a korne marauder the korne flakes
I agree with others that since Kormak is not a random hero but a character from her lore, he should stay in her army. Also one small idea - since you use Chaos warhounds for now, I would recommend to take a look at Fleshhounds of Khorne, since they are really strong for a "dog" unit. They can kill even some cavalry. Much better than regular Chaos warhounds. (+ they're demonic so they're not running like cowards after only small damage like warhounds)
I'm glad that I was able to this episode so early.
Unit name suggesstions:
For the Marauders of Khorne, we have the Bronze boys, Red Rippers, The Crimson Harvest, Brass Brawlers, Blood hands and Hack n Slash(Double Weapons)
Skullcrushers or Juggernauts: Clifford's pack
Marauder Horsemen: The Eternal Sacrifice
Unit name suggestion
Chaos warhounds: Clifford's big red dogs
Chaos warhounds: 101 Damnations
Marauders of Korne: Korneflakes
I guess for a lot of these factions. Most of their recruitment comes from the villages and smaller towns.
Great start on this campaign. Looking forward to more IM empires content.
Crazy idea; How many Warhammer UA-camrs would it take to cover all order aligned nations and resist the end times? See If it's an inevitable bad end or not.
Timmy the Child Beserker - A very young khorne worshipper that garnered Khorne’s attention and it humoured Khorne. That was until Kislevites killed him. Khorne was very upset and resurrected him as a champion. He only screams three words. His own name, Khorne and blood.
Skull crushers-Picture Red
Infanty-Satan's Slaughter, Blood donors, Sinners Revived, causing carnage
Super stoked for this campaign. I love the Chaos rework so far, it looks absolutely mint.
A suggestion for Ragnar's name: Lord Hellreaver. It touches on his past title and while also acknowledging his ascendancy to demonhood, AND gives him a lofty title befitting of a prince!
Name suggestion:
Samoth "Flaming Spectacle of Blood"
1st Army suggestions:
All-in on the skull crushers as cav, 6 is a good number for heavy cav and heavy infantry army, rush-em to your foes line to hold the line then when the infantry arrive to take their place, then send the skull crushers behind the enemy, after which you keep making them charge by cycling the J button so on and so forth, watch the blood and gore in replay and you'll know what I'm talking about.
2nd army suggestions:
Half and half, valkia already represent's the all khorn army. I recommend making half of all infantry as aspiring champions and half as halberd then the rest can vary.
Unit name suggestion for the chaos hounds - The Khourne Dogs
Möge das Schlachtfest beginnen.....🖤⚔️⚔️⚔️♥️💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
"Lionheart crap with cavalry my ass.." that had me dying dude.
With a Khorne campaign you should avoid a spell caster. But to make up for it the exalted hero could be called "Tom the Un-Enchanted"
Bloodthirster names:
Original:
Ra'khanda - counterpart to Ka'bhanda
and a few lore accurate ones:
Va'Kharr'oth
Hargrim Dreadaxe
Z'rughl Ka'kadron'ath
Tim the Bloody-Flame Enchanter has a nice ring and seems fairly thematic :P
Also Kormac the Gore-Chosen!!!!
Keep Kormak, and definitely just forgo magic all together. Worry about military might and armor.
i do kinda wish there was a lore of khorne and it was all just buff spells to ur units since the way ive heard it is khorne doesn't hate magic in general its he hates magic that deals damage from afar cus its cowardly. It could even be more of a battle priest like the empire or kislev or maybe more like how a dwarf runesmith works
Blood reapers have buffs man
@@princeofrance they have a couple but not anywhere near what id like to see from a spellcaster equivalent
@@zacharybecker8228 yeah true
a few names and upgrade route for marauders
the over zealots: marauders that goes up to Aspiring Champions and after 2 battles with them upgrad them to chaos spawn
the failures: marauders of Khorne to forsaken of Khorne to chaos spawn of Khorne
the Queen's guard: marauders of Khorne up to chosen of Khorne with shields
A Exalted Hero, Bythor The Betrayed, twin brother of a norscan chieftain who’s wife and son were slaughtered by his brother before he was to be sacrificed to Slannesh. In rage he broke free and escaped, his will to live only around to slaughter his brother and any follower of Slannesh he can find.
Bloodthirster name suggestion:
The Red Baron / The Bloody Baron
Wreckless Abandon
Devil's Destroyer
Soulgrinder:
The Red Menace
Crimson Carnage
Brutalities Best
Marauders:
The Skin-flayers
Mighty Misfits
Raw Axe Appeal
Marauder horsemen/Skullcrushers:
The Hell-striders
The Night-Mares
The Bulky Boys
So if you get to a point where you can recruit units at a high rank can you just automatically upgrade them? I wonder if the costs are better to recruit chaff and upgrade them or recruit the better units straight. I’m curious to see 😁
You retreat in the direction you arrived after razing so if you just shimmy a bit before attacking you can get more distance
Lionheart making some Interesting Ideas for the start of a Korne campaign; Trying not to keep Val's Ride or Die bro, suggesting they get Magic...
I love the Blood Raven looters reference 😆 and all Khorneate warriors are ginger apparently 😆 my peeps
Any troops unless specified
Beheaders - axe infantry
Crimson Blades of Khorne - khorne warriors
Khorne’s Letter Openers - blood letters
Great Blades of Norse
The Gorequeen’s Chosen
Khorne Warriors - Bloody Tims (just all of them are called Tim)
ValKia’s fury.
The Northern Blood
Skull Chewers - hounds
Bone Chompers of Khorne - hounds
You gotta keep that exalted hero with her, and leave his name as Kormak, because lore wise, he is Valkia's biggest simp, who prised her so hard, she brought him back from the grave to simp for her as a deamon
Unit Name Suggestion:
War Hounds - Korne Dogs
Marauders - The Gore Guard
Skull Crushers - The Crimson Coated Cuirassiers
Unit name suggestions:
Warriors or Skullcrushers of Khorne - The Brass Band
Any Khorne Unit - Puddle of Blood, The Meatgrinders
Bloobletters - Red Hot Chili Slappers
I agree with everyone else about not changing Kormak's name, but maybe since Khorne hates magic so much you could add a title to it.
Maybe "Kormak the Tim Destroyer" or something along those lines.
Unit Name Suggestion for Warriors or Marauders of Khorne: Seers of Sanguine (For they can always predict the battle will be bloody!)
I want a Unit Of Korne Murauders (Dual weapons) To be named the Red Cross,
As they are taking blood donations for Korne.
Forcefully.
And yes they can Rank up as you wish them to, just keep their name as "The Red Cross"
Infantry suggestions:
The Skull Connoisseurs
The Gore Judges
The Bloody Critics
The Frothing Flayers
Soulgrinder:
Goredon Ramsay
For the Marauder Horsemen with Throwing axes u should call them the 'Bloody Tossers'
can't wait to get stuck into another campaign
Feels weird to have a Tim The "enchanter" for khorne as khorne doesn't like magic 🤔 but you do you lionheart ☺
Just name him KormakDonald and let's imagine he's on a quest to set up branches all over the world
