With the new info from CA and their conversations on Reddit it looks like the race pack for TW:W1 would be a Norsca faction. Would make sense he's the legendary lord for the Sarl
CA would have to be pretty stupid to charge people again for Norsca getting added into TWH2 if they already paid for it when Norsca was one of the Special offers for TWH2, if anything they should have norsca available in The game already rather than forcing people to play the first one just to use a faction we paid 30$ for ontop of the release price
"Face me if you dare, stunted whelp, or do you lack even an Elven maid's courage? I thought the Sons of Grungni were great warriors, but perhaps you are no true Dwarf. Indeed, maybe you are instead some breed of bearded goblin, though in truth, I have seen a finer beard on a Troll's back-side." -Wulfrik the Wanderer to Dwarf King Thurbad Stonebeard, in perfect Khazalid.
I love how Wulfrick looks like the normal, badass human he is in Total War, and not the pale zombie-looking piece of shit he was portrayed as in GW art. Kudos to CA for making Wulfrick one of my favorite characters.
I had a similar experience a couple years ago. I drank so much I passed out, then I travelled in my mind beyond space and time. I did spend a half day in my mind but in reality it was only a few hours. When I woke up my tongue was alright though...and I had no dark voices in my had...and I'm still no fighter...guess I was just very drunk😅
What would rrally be great is when you pushed the icon for the gift of tounges you select a particular hero or general and the battle goes into slow-mo or pauses entirely and zooms in on wulfrick and he gives a little speech like the generals from medieval 2 just full on verbal warfare (like the lore) and until the chosen character engages for a certain amount of time they have a debuff or something like that.
I think it's strange that in the lore Valkia the Bloody (closely associated with Khorne) instructs the use of the blood raven. As it's described as being incredibly painful and torturous. Extended pain and torture strengthens Slaanesh, it's just weird that an agent of Khorne is instructing followers to do somethings that gives Slaanesh power, given Khorne's absolute hate of Slaanesh
I think it was used because of the sheer brutality. A lot of the Chaos gods do things that strengthen the others unintentionally. They're all linked in little ways. Give a little, take a little.
A good example of their linkage would be birth, death, rebirth of Nurgle mixing with sex of Slaanesh. Not using the right verbage, but where their realms meet= very sticky. Another example would be political assassinations empowering Tzeentch a lot and Khorne a bit.
This is by my favourite Warhammer Fantasy lore channel. The way you tell it in this casual chummy style and insert some of these syubtle "only friends will get this" jokes is just hilarious. I noticed the Aladdin reference in this video and the Jungle book on in the Alith Anar video. Gonna listen closely for other ones.
This guy is the epitome of Chaos Warriors and why i like them so much over Chaos Space Marines. Chaos Space Marines are often kidnapped as a kid, while all Chaos Warriors are there on their own will. Chaos Space Marines have their strength augmented as children, but Chaos Warriors' strength and skills are completely their own, and most have been fighting (often to the death), not merely training, since children. Most Chaos Space Marines follow along with their chapters to Chaos, but Chaos Warriors sees it as a way of life and volunteer their souls and life for a very small shot at immortality and ultimate power. In the lore these guys are probably the best fighters in the entire Old World, with experience, strength, and blessings from their gods, and best of all completely fighting by their own will. Anyone who has ever tried to make it in life from the bottoms up, clinging to the fight hungrily and desperately would totally vibe with these guys.
Better character building than certain chaos champion. That distance taunt? Cool, imagine you insult a flying lord enough he/she stop casting spell & nuke him/her down on ground. LOL
Probably where they got the name from in that movie. The Kells were hiding behind their fortified walls from Viking raiders in the movie. I assumed it was Celtic since she was more on their side. The movie also messed up with the vikings wearing horned helmets and such.
I know this is super old but I wanted to contribute, Aisling, the name your talking about is actually a very recent Celtic name, from the 20th century. And yes its pronounced Ashling and not áisling. Source: a very proud girlfriend who gets very defensive of her name 😂
only one question, when wulfrik kills the undead tomb lord, What entrails? the tomb lord has been dead and undead for a thousand fricking years, theres no bloody entrails left.
Wolfric's challenge mechanic gift of tongues should be that the enemy lord closest to wulfrik lose life and gives the lord a leadership debuff aura for as long as wulfrik iis within a certain range. Kinda like mist of the lady, but stronger and only hitting lords. It fits with the lore, creates interesting gameplay decisions and is not to weird to implement. His shout becomes less powerful than "come fight me", but it encapsulates the feel of "if you dont fight me now your a wuss, a coward and your mother is a whore" insults that a norskan would use.
Man, poor Hjordis. Not often you can feel 1000% bad for someone in this lore. She didn't deserve anything that happened to her. Getting killed is one thing, but being assaulted like that and then blamed for it is absolutely fucking awful. More like Wulfrik the Victim Blamer.
Gruwski The Dogski the 3rd game is conjectured to be the chaos wastes and being around the 4 chaos wastes, so I think we'll have to wait until the third game for proper chaoslove
Gruwski The Dogski I meant the proper wastes like around the portal with loads of warp corruption and demons infused trees and shit, hoping the mapll do that area justice
UA-cam thank you for the help and your patience and sorry for putting though this wasn't aiming to cause a problems I caused ☹️. Didn't realise. The problem I caused for myself
Hmm.. good question. There's a LOT of options. Especially in 3rd edition with all the prestige classes... like Berserker from Deities and Demigods book or Ravager from Sword and Fist guidebook or plenty of otheres.. as for the baseline I'd say Barbarian/Fighter or Barbarian Ranger, or Fighter/Ranger. You should be able to fluff him out with special abilities and/or feats.
For how I see Wulfrik fitting into TW:W2 check my Future DLC video here: ua-cam.com/video/BD7L0NrlfPk/v-deo.html
The Inept General that Disney Alladin reference!

anyone getting a wildings vibe from them like game of thrones :P?

the funniest lore video i ever watch & listen in the whole server.

Wulfrik, talker of shit and giver of least
SAVAGE
Holy shit he murdered him

Holy crap this guy is a total badass, i was never into the norsca tribes, but now i am all for it. Thanks for this awesome lorevideo

HAH! I love the description of Wulfric being shown around the "endless diamond sky". Had me cheesing hard :P
Damn, I want a tv-show about Wulfric now!
Can you do famous demons of chaos video. I'm interested in the named demons of each of the chaos gods.
Also, " tap that ass" I couldn't stop laughing
Really enjoying these lore videos! I've been watching them to help prepare my first attempt at running a Warhammer Fantasy roleplay.
I know it’s 5 years late, but good job on the ‘A Whole New World’ tie in
I like how you spot edit the audio for names. ;)

Will Wulfricks' cinematic speeches be dramatic, I would really want to see!?
If it's not just an extended take of him insulting the enemy army, it will be a shame of epic proportion.
This needs to be a game or a movie
Better character building than certain chaos champion.
That distance taunt? Cool, imagine you insult a flying lord enough he/she stop casting spell & nuke him/her down on ground. LOL
Dam. Wulfrik is a badass. He is now my favorite character thus far.
I keep coming back from this video, idk why
Digging the heavy bro vibes in the vid. Reminds me of a less effeminate and more chill MCU Thor
Aesling is pronounced "Ashling". Secret of the Kells had a character named that. It's an old Celtic name.
Actually, it's a combination of 'Aes' and 'Linga', which in Old Norse could be interpreted to mean something as 'Descendants of the Gods'.
Probably where they got the name from in that movie. The Kells were hiding behind their fortified walls from Viking raiders in the movie. I assumed it was Celtic since she was more on their side. The movie also messed up with the vikings wearing horned helmets and such.
I would assume it would be "azling" or "assling".
Actually, it would probably be "Essling". "Æ" in Old Norse made that sort of sound.
I know this is super old but I wanted to contribute, Aisling, the name your talking about is actually a very recent Celtic name, from the 20th century. And yes its pronounced Ashling and not áisling.

Dude this was my first of your vids I watch, but damn do I like your style xD
39:15 Little did he know, that it would be actually Grimgor who would have the taunt, 3 years later
only one question, when wulfrik kills the undead tomb lord, What entrails? the tomb lord has been dead and undead for a thousand fricking years, theres no bloody entrails left.
I guess bones are entrails to him.
haha love how u took the lyrics and used it in the story
I think I just found my newest hero! :D
dang that chick got a raw deal
Yo mate did you just infuse your narrative with some Aladdin song?
I really wish the gift of tongues as you suggested was a thing
Inept General when can we expect the Skaven Lore and Unit List?
Cheers for the videos.
Hey Adam holding off till closer to E3 and expected official Skaven announcement. Not too long to wait now
+The Inept General that's great news, looking forward to it.
Thanks for the reply mate and I appreciate the good work your putting in.
You should do a lore video about the Chaos Dwarfs.
Wolfric's challenge mechanic gift of tongues should be that the enemy lord closest to wulfrik lose life and gives the lord a leadership debuff aura for as long as wulfrik iis within a certain range. Kinda like mist of the lady, but stronger and only hitting lords. It fits with the lore, creates interesting gameplay decisions and is not to weird to implement.
His shout becomes less powerful than "come fight me", but it encapsulates the feel of "if you dont fight me now your a wuss, a coward and your mother is a whore" insults that a norskan would use.
Can I mention that I really love Wulfrik's similitude to Travis Fimmel incarnation of Ragnar Lodbrock ? x)
The aladin shit was just hilarious
Great lore videos dude
AWSOME content man =) You should have 0 dislikes.. but I guess 20 people are totall mad
cheers from Sweden
Anyone else here because of the new Norsca trailer? Hahah
conner potthoff me
hey man, love the vid. Can't wait for Skaven!
Nice video !
It would be cool to have this pirate dlc.
I really like you story telling
39:11 I have a better idea what they should've done, force enemy character to be unbreakable and rampage.
Guy has ability of mega taunt
Man, poor Hjordis. Not often you can feel 1000% bad for someone in this lore. She didn't deserve anything that happened to her. Getting killed is one thing, but being assaulted like that and then blamed for it is absolutely fucking awful. More like Wulfrik the Victim Blamer.
That's what makes a good dark fantasy. People as shitty as they are irl.
Uh isnt Wulfrik gonna be a lord in total war warhammer 1? I mean the dlc is for the first 1
Dude, this video was uploaded on May, when we didn't even know we'd get a Norsca Race Pack for the first TW:W
Matias León oh yeah forgot about that
Hmm, thought he might become the king kinda was hoping for that
Do you think they will add in Chaos unites in Warhammer 2 though? I for one really have high hopes for some Chaos love during Warhammer 2.
I really hope if Wulfrik gets added he would have some cool buffs for marauders. Although I still have higher hops for Throgg! :)
Gruwski The Dogski the 3rd game is conjectured to be the chaos wastes and being around the 4 chaos wastes, so I think we'll have to wait until the third game for proper chaoslove
But the Chaos wastes are already there matey, but i totally agree regarding the "mega" chaos love for the third game for sure! :)
Gruwski The Dogski I meant the proper wastes like around the portal with loads of warp corruption and demons infused trees and shit, hoping the mapll do that area justice
Well time will tell. :P
Was that a ton of Aladdin references around 6:40ish?
thank you.
:O Bastardizing the story...that would be an understatement XD
Entertaining, none the less :P
A shame he never fought Gotrek and eventually died to Valten
I love Norsca but hate playing as Wulfrik, he looks too much like McGregor
so if I put this man against Grimgor who would win a straight up one vs one?
Wulf.
Hamza Changazi are you serious! That's insane if it's true!
Grimgor
Grimgor
Grimgor
'Rik the Wanderer'.
Jiggery Pokery got me good hahahahaha
Aladin verses...lol...go inept
UA-cam thank you for the help and your patience and sorry for putting though this wasn't aiming to cause a problems I caused ☹️. Didn't realise. The problem I caused for myself
lmao this is actually hilarious, i kinda pity Wulfrik
How would you spec Wulfric the Wanderer in DnD? Bard/Barbarian? Bardbarian?)
Hmm.. good question. There's a LOT of options. Especially in 3rd edition with all the prestige classes... like Berserker from Deities and Demigods book or Ravager from Sword and Fist guidebook or plenty of otheres.. as for the baseline I'd say Barbarian/Fighter or Barbarian Ranger, or Fighter/Ranger.

Æslings*
Pronounced 'Ass-Lings'.
Is this reuploaded?
Ahh yes the description, nvm.
UA-cam if watching this channel.okay
SKLHROS
what?
May l change my profile name
South Park ruined Wulfrik for me. I can't help but see him as Russell Crowe, foiten 'round the world.
I'm getting off the internet permanent in. 2023. Poor computer skills and. Social skills
i wonder how many americans got the monty python reference :)
not many me thinks.
Yoko Oh no what would ones nationalistic origin matter when discussing timeless comedy such as Monty Python?
Those crazy voices made me quit the video :( sad
Small brain
