It turns out the battle itself is full of initial engagements, disengagements, charges and counter-charges, etc. A lot of things going on in the battle! I tried to include all mayor events that happened before and during the battle.

This was the longest video I have done for the channel so far! Hope you enjoyed this episode! Apologies for the late upload as I ran into some unexpected problems. (read the video descriptions for more details). // This week I´m going on a short trip to Cancun with my brother so I won´t be able to answer comments or messages right away but rest assured that as soon as I get back I´ll go through them Next week we´ll have a shorter video for the same reason. Like I said, check out the video description for full details on this episode and on the content schedule. Thank you for watching!!
I'm wondering- is End Times something you have any interesst in doing? Like, I'd love to see you make a video on Harkon / the Vampire Coast, but outside the End Times theres very little on actual battles or campaigns of theirs. But the book Nagash features a really detailed description of Harkon's invasion of Nehekara and his team-up with Mannfred there - which I feel could be a background for an awesome video.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion buddy 😃! I just wrote that down in my agenda to look into it as soon as I get back from my trip tomorrow. I have the Vampire Coast content planned for sunday Nov 11th. so great timing of yours man.
And yes!! I´d love to do the End Times but I´ll wait until Warhammer 3 releases to have all the amazing new chaos models to be able to recreate it like Sigmar demands!
Fantastic job! Well done! Now I do want to see some skaven vs empire famous battles during Mandred Skavenslayer times ;)
MOOOAAAR! Please x3
A much better battle vs the undead than The Battle of Winterfell.
Shater Lemming That isn’t much of an achievement though.
That was the ultimate disappointment lol
8 seasons of story, like from the first scene of the show... butchered by those washed producers 😭
This was amazing. It felt like one of those WW2 documentaries you see on the history channel. Im really impressed, very professional. Subscribed
Many thanks Frank! 🙌🙂
Why did I not see this sooner, incredible work, thank you so much for your hard work!
U are an amazing UA-camr
Thanks for your words! I really appreciate it 🙌🙏😃
The Book of Choyer no problem I love vampire counts and I love warhammer lore if I'm aloud to pout in a recwest something though I would love it if u could do a vampire coast video because they come out tomorrow and they are so cool 😎 just like u
@@jadebrunner8699 Aye-Aye! You are in for a treat then! I´m currently working on this sunday´s episode which will be all about The Vampire Coast ☠
Of course he fucked it up:( this seems to be a theme with the vampires now:(
Now I want a Regiment of Renown Spearmen called the Forlorn Hope. MAKE IT HAPPEN, CA!!!!!!!
Alex Erny ahahah
I mean... why not 🙃?
Have to be immune to psychology and/or have hate undead.
Ah Mannfred. Played hide and seek with the Empire for a few years, running from every possible engagement and then finally in springs his trap! Where he is completely out thought and fought and then finally cut down by a simple human.
Good think you stopped Vlad taking over the Empire all those years ago, clearly you where the right vampire for the job.
Dick...
Choadiest of the Carstiens.
Don't blame Mannfred. Blame empire plot armor. Also, the books were sort of horrible, in my opinion.
@@CallioNyx Wrong, Empire is the best and you're clearly a heretic.
Well, betraying at the last moment only to regret it and bitch about it seems to be Manfredd's line of work through History (and beyond if you count AoS).
@Farseer Aradrel yeah empire plot Armour is undefeated. How on earth are a mere score of Spearman not only holding the line but winning vs Manfreds armies. #Ridiculous
That was amazing! You have a talent for voice acting, and I enjoyed the edits and angles you used for this battle. Really nice work!
He can’t pronounce names correctly and the music was comical. Crap video
That strategy the empire used to win sounds an awful lot like the strategy Carthage used against Rome in the battle of Cannae 🧐
SUMMON THEE ELECTOR COUNTS!!!
✊😃⚔!
The Book of Choyer continue with these type of videos!! So well done 👍🏽 *Subbed
This was the first of your videos I've watched, and I was very impressed. I liked it a lot, and I would love to see more signature Warhammer battles in the future. I especially liked that you bothered to detail the background and context of the fight with graphics as well as explanation. You've got yourself a subscriber sir.
Wesley King thanks Wesley King! To me, there's no battle without some context. Context is what gives life to the battles and I'm glad you enjoyed this episode! Thanks for your viewership!
:)
This battle takes bits and pieces of real life battles and events. I've so far noticed Cannae and Waterloo.
Sir, as a military historian I must say. Even though this is fantasy, you've kept my on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next in these events. I must say well done!
Many thanks @Dajim87 🙂🙏
The tactics used in Hel fenn is exactly the tactics Hannibal used in the battle of Cannae against the romans
Not surprising, a lot of Warhammer lore takes elements from real history. Vampires going around empire before a big battle? Sounds like Hannibal. Obviously they mixed some elements in.
That's great. Like Hannibal, Mannfred lost more than gained trying to conquer the empire.
Actually i reckon its almost identical to Waterloo
@@DragonSlayerCommentariesHQ I disagreed. Hannibal lost partly due to the fact that his government back home at Carthage refused to fund his invasion of Roman soil.
Moreover, Hannibal fought at more disadvantageous positions compared to Manfred with fewer armies and logistics.
Remember, Hannibal rely on his wits and intelligence to win every battle, unlike Manfred, a fictional character who had to rely on necromancer magic to win every battle.
If not for the internal squabling inside the Carthagian court, Hannibal would have crushed the Romans and invade Rome already.
DO I SMELL STEAM TANKS?
Yess! You were right my friend! Just published that one! A shorter episode than usual though but now I´m back from vacations and next week´s shall be longer :)!
Very impressive video. Despite already knowing this part of the lore, I really enjoyed listening to you explain it. The different shots from the battle, the map, the quote and other edits were very well done and added a lot to it. I had never read that quote about the forlorn hope, but reading it gave me goosebumps. Hope you can add more of these quotes in your future videos :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback my friend! 🙌😃 I´m glad you enjoyed the quotes as I introduced this one as an experiment. But they will definitely keep coming. :)
6:00 Half of the zombies on the imaginary horses...
10:42 - You wanna fu*king go?! Lets do it!!!
I absolutely love your content. In fact, some of the scale and complexity described by your videos is exactly what I always longed to see from the total war adaptations. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your words man! 👊😃!
Holy shit, this was fuckn amazing. I need more warhammer battles!
I only have one nitpick. The name Carstein is from the Warhammer world's equivalent of German. Whenever the letters e and i appear in succession its pronunciation is similar to the English word eye. It's not pronounced ee, as is the case with Jewish/German or Anglicized German names. So the name Carstein is not pronounced as Carsteen, but as Carsteyen.
No, as a German I can tell you that it is pronounced as followed: imagine saying stone with an I , so stine. So you pronounce it carstein, while the s in stein is pronounced like the sh in sharing. In German this would be pronounced „karstein“. No offense lol
@@n4bukadnezar Like I said: ei is in German pronounced like the word eye in English.
1987MartinT oh now as I think about it , you’re right 😂👍
1987MartinT my mistake , sorry
@@n4bukadnezar It's okay.
the tactic he used was from the Hannibal barca at the battle of cannae where he slaughtered tens of thousand romans
Warhammer has never been subtle with its historival inspirations
Historical tactics aside, this tactic actually works a treat on Undead in tabletop Warhammer. If you outflank them and attack Undead in the rear, they start dying quicker because of combat resolution (basically an equation of how many wounds inflicted on the unit and an addition point due to certain tactical factors e.g. outnumbered, attack in the rear/side, standards visible, magic , etc). The Undead - unlike other armies - by every point of combat resolution you beat them by makes them take extra unpreventable casualties which is important because they have a nasty habit of getting up. Also, since Undead have psychological benefits on the tabletop, you need to make sure you don't lose the combat so seizing any opportunity to make the resolution higher is important.
Dwarfs, my favourite army, once killed an elite unit of Black Knights simply by performing said tactic. The Black Knights wanted to wipe out what seemed to be a small unit of Dwarf Slayers (2 ranks of 5) on a charge and crash right through but I had two units of Dwarf infantry (4 ranks of 5) on the flanks that I slowly turned for a charge but at an oblique to ensure that if the Knights charges the Dwarf Unit they would have to expose themselves to a charge in the flank. Going for the Slayers, he killed almost 1 rank BUT he realised a mistake: Slayers don't lose combat (Dwarf tenacity) so the knights were forced to kill every single one thus giving me enough time to move the two flanking units to crash into his flanks and envelope him. I have to admit, the Knights could have fought their way due to heavy amour protection and some magic items that allowed them to "recover" a knight in a while but they were still losing 1 knight extra for every one I killed due to combat resolution.
By drawing them in and attacking them in the rear (closing the trap), the Undead general would not be able to replace the losses quickly by magic (see combat resolution) as they are take taking more damage than they can replace. Also, in Warhammer, engaging them in the rear denies the defending unit of the benefit of ranks which considerable lowers their combat resolution equation. Overall, a textbook move fitting for the White Dwarf tacticus!
Very cool video! You should make more of these! 👌👌
More on the way my friend. I´m aiming for one every sunday!
That was incredible. Very well put together.
Thank you Paul! 👊😃
Your videos make me so goddamn hyped dude! I have 500 hours on WH1 and almost 150 in WH2 but I'm already getting tired because of the damn long end turns. Hopefully CA fix that shit in WH3, I really wanna play all factions and do shit like this but the end turns ugghghghghgh!
🙌😃!
If u continue to do thease types of warhammer but lore full battles u will get real famous real quick hopefully
We´ll see what the Winds of Magic say my friend! I´m having a great time doing these videos and comments like yours keep me going Jade. More episodes to come🔥🔥
This video was great! Well made! I'll definitely be looking forward to watching future videos on this channel.
I just finished defeating these guys but narrowly lost.
It was a real war of attrition with the vampires and Henrich Kemmeler giving my armies little to no time to recover.
At the walls of Castle Drakenhof, the vampires finally met their end and I had the city razed to the ground.
No skeletons or Zombies were harmed during this amazing lore battle (:
So he failed to take Altdorf, failed to take Marienburg, then lost the decisive battle, then lost a duel.
Such an amazing video, the editing, the narration, and visuals were incredible. 10/10 would love to see more videos like this in the future, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber
Ricardo Valdes Thanks for subscribing. It's great to have you here Ricardo! 👊🏼😃
Beautifully written and edited. Great work.
Wow good work with the documentary style narration for the video.
Wow! Awesome job!
Great channel you can see all the hard work you guy's invest in these videos. I wonder what a campaign would look like in you're hands. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Juan! I´m planning on doing a narrative campaign starting early next year... but I´m still trying to figure out the right format. But we are definitely doing it! 🔥
@@TheBookofChoyer look forward to it.
Dude keep the content coming. This has the potential to be the best Warhammer lore channel. Great job.
More of this please man. Great cinematic Total Warhammer videos are hard to find so I’m glad I found yours.
The production is amazin!
I really like watching Warhammer lore videos and having matching scenes from the game is genius. Also, you have a great narrating vioce. Great work, can't wait to see more.
Thanks man! I'm glad you are digging the concept of the channel :)! More content on the way.
Wow great job on the video. Im really liking your cinematic lore series that youre doing.
Few mispronunciations being Carstein, Jaeger and Halberdiers but otherwise just loved it. Glad Warhammer fantasy isnt being forgotten
Thanks a lot for your feedback man! 😃🙌
These videos are the shit! I'm addicted, keep up the good work bro!
Thank you Conor! 😃
Very good ! :)
What would it take for videos on the history of each race up to the point of twwh2 I love your videos please keep up the great work.
Those units were gorgeous. What appearance mod are you using for Warhammer 2 tw?
It is a combination of Mods. For this one, it was SFO, and Dryrains´s Reskins.
Awsome! We need more! 😁
i love this well done!!
A drink! To geberal jeager meister!
epic video!!! loved it!
Verry well edited
Ok you got me. I need more of this ^^
Mr Mundungus I'm glad you enjoyed it man 👊🏼🙂! more videos coming soon.
Fantastic lore video, you definitely have a talent for this!
Thanks a lot man! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! 🔥
This one felt like a movie! Amazing job as always!
Please tell us what mods you used in total ! pls
Sure! You can find the full list in this link: thebookofchoyer.com/community/
And for additional mods used in particular episodes, you can always check the video description. :)
Just amazing. No words, love it
LOVE IT!! Pls do more Factions, and maybe put in natural/historical enemies in them? I.E Dwarfs, Greenskins, Empire vs Vampire etc. :)
That Cavalry charge gave me chills. Incredible video!
The crypt wraiths and spirit hosts alone could have destroyed the empire (as they couldn't be damaged). How in the hel (pun) did they deal with the wraiths?
Turk Turkelton
The way it works ingame is they have the "Ethereal" trait. All physical damage reduced by 75% iirc.
Magic damage does full damage to them, maybe fire too, can't remember.
Nice vid mate! Felt like a real battle being described, you've earned another subscriber. :)
These videos are the shit!! I now subscribe!! Will be sharing on facebook Warhammer fanpages!!
Ok, this was bloody amazing. Subbed
Love the resemblance to The Battle of Cannae (216 BC).
Romans did not crumble tho.
So we learned from this that compared to vlad. Mannfred is a shitty general. Also lucky for the empire knights on that Calvary battle that mannfred didn’t have the drakenhof Templar’s
This series is fantastic!! Thank you so much for this
Thank you for watching my friend! : )
This was really well made. well done. more more more please :P
Thank you Landgig! There are more episodes to come soon! One every sunday to be precise :)
Very well made mate! Hope this is beggining of a series!
Just to remind everybody kruber from vermintide had fought in helfen
Too bad the Empire sucks ass and their swordsman could barley kill a zombie in TW Warhammer
Anther predictable win for the humans....
This gets cliche really fast and I feel as if I’ve heard it in ever fantasy story. You have the big bad vampires who serve as nothing but to be fodder for everyone to say “ we did it! We did it because we had hope!!” Lol Manfred should of smashed that fucking dude 1v1 but, “ he was tired that day......yeah tired”. Come on man. His tactics are still studied till this day? Just be be human with lots of plot armor.
Great videos but I’m so glad I can change the outcome in Total war myself 😂. In all seriousness though are there any stories where the vamps actually come out on top, or get to show their true power when the writer isn’t holding them back???
Anything about the red dragons. Literally. Their thing is that they're unbelievably fucking Hyper-Lethal.
Geeez why the gay prononciation on the most glorious vampire names ? How do you pronounce Frankenstein ? Frankensteen like von Carsteen you re doing here ? This is making my ears bleed after 1.35 minute , usually love the voice acting but this ? Meh it s just wrong , sorry .
3:10 - 3:20 he should've just disbanded his army lmfao
The skript reminds me only slightly at the battle of Waterloo ;)
In my game this battle was one sided (the humans died in five minutes) the only battle that actually mattered was the siege of their capital and that was truly legendary
So after that there were no more vampires? Just like in the game the vampires seem to have a particular nack for losing
While it looks cool and all most of these videos are scripted straight from the wiki which is a bit dissapointing
Car-steen = Jewish family of lawyers?
Empire vs Zombies reminds me of They are Billions
Some problems with german names. ))))
This battle is one part Waterloo and one part Cannae
9.32 dude fighting with no head lol
I guess... When CA release... The Daemons of Chaos U will make the Coming of Chaos... right?
Yes, I´m waiting to have all the Chaos stuff to go deeper into tha when it releases.
This battle resembles the one of Cannae.
The link for the music is broken nooooo
Cannae, Warhammer Edition.
The fight was super boring, good quality video though.
Thanks!!
Mannfred didn’t skip arm day
Thank Sigmar that Count Martin had read Hannibal and the Battle of Cannae from the Punnic Wars!!!! xDDDD
AWESOME video bro, keep up this excelent job!!!!!!!
helfen - german for "helping"
hey is this an unmodded version? If it is I suggest you try using steel faith overhaul to make the armies closer to lore (so more zombies in a unit, for instance). Also Mixu's mods have a host of characters you can use in your lore videos, already made for you.
Yes, I use SFO for most videos, however, I didn't know about Mixu's mod. Thanks a lot Antano! Will look into that later tonight 👌🏻😃
Nice montage, really, but the blood and gore mod destroys it for me. Its just a fully exaggerated thing.
Thanks man :) This had the Blood effects enabled but I use a mod that reduces the ammount of blood in the models. Its called "Less Blood, Less Gore II".
epic video for warhammer fans like myself and nicely told. well done.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it !🔥
Klatu, Verata, Nahummbnumbnae...
For some reason, those shambling zombies remind me of the Yakity Sax played during the Bennie Hill show...
Cool!
Halberd-ears not halberders
Well with all this awesome 'storytelling' and Videos about Warhammer Fantasy you won yourself a new subscriber ;)
skaven battles or Queek will come and bite your toes in the night
You are in for a treat this month then 👌🏻🐀
Cool. A Warhammer Waterloo.
one human boi - VICTORY OR DEATH
mannfried - why not both?
Bootleg Cannae
Amazing job! It really felt like a discovery channel documentary, maybe add some experts to tell interesting details to make it complete lol.
