yeah but the german words like hexennacht, geheimnisnacht, totentanznacht and so on get butchered to hell. its not even remotely recognisable when he pronounces them. hexennacht wich is pronounced like this: educalingo.com/de/dic-de/hexennacht is turned into hexenstash. the imperial provinces, dialect and names are primarily german/fantasygerman with here and there some polish influences.
I prefer varghiests for that purpose - armor piercing, frenzy and regeneration in a fast-flying unit: it doesn’t get better than that for demolishing armored infantry!
Man, I'm listening to this just thinking of how awesome Vermintide 3 could be if they put in ALL the scary horde races. Just think of it: Skaven, Chaos/Norsca, Beastmen, Undead, and Greenskins. Sounds like a lot of work for the devs, but it would be glorious!
Absolutely loving the lore vids, it's everything I want to know about the game world without having to buy expensive army books I'll never use or to track down old novels my poor vision would make difficult/lengthy to read. Thanks mate!
I really love you taking your time to make these videos, as one fan to another of the classic vampire genre, such as The Vampire Counts of the late WarHammer fantasy, Ravenloft along with the Vampire from Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness and as fellow nerd in general, you have my deepest respect and thanks, still my favorite units are the Varghulfs, they are so cute and fluffy,
Vlad: Get a bunch of fast movers and a Nehek everything into eternity. My good god is his style a breeze. The only thing I've seen that even comes close to as easy of a campaign as that is Hellebron's. Both of them turn the game into a point & click adventure.
Currently in Total War Warhammer Im playing as Ungruim Ironfist and I FINALLY finished off the Vampire Counts in a war Ive had with them since near the beginning of the campaign. The undead were alot harder to deal with than I previously thought, as I went with the tactic of taking out any and all leadership and in some battles I was too busy managing my leaders trying to take out theirs, that the undead, under AI, were able to execute pretty devastating flanking attacks on my frontline troops and my skirmishers ultimately in those fights I would either suffer VERY heavy losses or suffer defeat. So word of advice to Total War Warhammer players make sure that ur army is in a good position BEFORE chasing down undead lords after I did that I suffered way less loses, and as always another great video my dude keep up the good work.
If you are playing as Vampire counts, just get unlimited stacks of free skeletons. You can win by just sheer numbers. If your army is defeated, you can instantly create another one.
I always loved having big armies of weaker units so having zombies is like my old Medieval 2 town guard armies. If your faction had militia archers there was little reason to bring anything else except a general to screen for them. 7:30 I can't tell if I just had a good campaign location start or am getting better at the game but my Grave Guard were just mewing threw the empire and chaos and whatever other northern losers. 12:00 I've had okay luck with crypt horrors but them like trolls I used more like heavy cavalry then front line troops they don't have enough defense compared to grave guard.
I won my second campaign with them (that is if you count my first total war warhammer campaign for them) a few weeks ago was fun can’t wait to get my skaven campaign in total warhammer 2 which is the campaign I completed the vampire counts on.
I'd always hoped for Vampire Counts to be a vampire faction rather than an undead faction as they're effectively an undead faction with a handful of vampire leaders pulling the strings. Also always wished they made more use of blood tax auxiliaries as a mechanic.
that would have been strange. VC has always been about the horde of weak and strong ass heroes. Vampires making an empire of vampires is not sustainable. As a result, you have nobles, who are vampires and are extremely powerful, and an army of disposables that support them to keep the enemy busy while the vamps wind of death them to oblivion
Tomb guards can wreck zombies and skeletons variety of the vampire counts to a certain degree at least. they aren't that great consider the fact that they are suppose to be the elite infantries of the Tomb Kings faction. but at the end of the day, I'll usually filled my entire army up with construct for pure destruction purposes. Tomb Guards are just frontline meatshield for the more elite units.
I will certainly get to the Dwarfs eventually, but if you are hard up right now I would highly recommend either Lore Master of Sotek or the Inept General on UA-cam that already have some of these videos up.
You know I usually try to avoid mods as often my personal campaigns last so long that inevitably the game is updated and then all my work is gone, but I will certainly check them out and see what is what.
Back in the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy there was just a single army book for the Undead, but eventually the undead was split into the Vampire Counts and the Tomb Kings, I know the Scream Skull Catapult used to be in the Undead army book but it became a Tomb Exclusive, same for Skeleton archers as far as I’m aware.
I havent watched the video yet but I am listening to it as I type this. What I wanted to comment on though, is that I think you may be a little confused. Generally, people do not adopt their porn site account names into their regular life persona. I'm not sure why you went that way, its a bold choice, but still its your choice. Just wanted to help you clear that up before you apply for a job or go within 500 feet of an elementary school.
Can't argue semantics with a man who's name inspires Vigilantes and Agoraphobia....but thanks for watching and don't forget you should never Kill a Mockingbird.

Sean Dick had to agree, this comment made me subscribe.
gaaaaaaay
Skeletons are the back bone
BACK BONE
Ha
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- Papyrus, moments before his head explodes from anger.
I use crypt ghouls as frontline units against the dwarfs because they are numerous, armor piercing, cheap, fast infantry
I prefer varghiests for that purpose - armor piercing, frenzy and regeneration in a fast-flying unit: it doesn’t get better than that for demolishing armored infantry!
I think crypt ghouls are weak to armour

I know what i'll listen to before going to bed tonight, thanks a lot :D Appreciate the work you put in those lore videos:)
datboiwholived I also listen to these a lot to wind down, soothing and full of info!

madwookie98 I love the VC way of warfare but I think that they're game mechanics could do with an update
Iv watched quit a few of these at night when going to bed. Earned a subscription.
As always a top notch video. Thank you Mr.Thick, a like has been submitted.
Can you do a video of Sylvania itself? Its people, its history, and day to day life?
Loved it, can't wait for the Orcs video.
yasss, something to listen to while reforging
If you are playing as Vampire counts, just get unlimited stacks of free skeletons. You can win by just sheer numbers. If your army is defeated, you can instantly create another one.
I'm down for a Vampire Coast vid
Bretonnia or Beastmen next. Digging the lore videos.
Great lore videos, I learned a lot

Great video. Really enjoyed this
Good video. Made it to the end!
Embrace the thickness!
Oof a nice juicy video to listen to before I get some zzzz
Great video man. Keep up the good work. Could.i request a dark elf unit breakdown please. I LOVE the druchii and would love to learn about them
He already has a Dark Elf video, check the channel. :-)
I won my second campaign with them (that is if you count my first total war warhammer campaign for them) a few weeks ago was fun can’t wait to get my skaven campaign in total warhammer 2 which is the campaign I completed the vampire counts on.
9:02 damn imagine being a beast man and watching your herd getting eaten
Feeding the undead algorithm

lol cleave the spine or the skull to kill it, in Total war warhammer, the skeleton could lose it's head and still fight.
Lets say they're running around like bunch of head less chickens
Can you make some lore vids on the dwarfs? Like the dwarfs as a race, their army or their gods? I would like a Thorgrim Grudgebearer lore vid.
I will certainly get to the Dwarfs eventually, but if you are hard up right now I would highly recommend either Lore Master of Sotek or the Inept General on UA-cam that already have some of these videos up.
awesome :) more lore videos on TWW2 units Jumbo :) or more vampire lore because iv watched all of them so far yet want more :P
Brilliant
I thought Mournghuls were the Wendigos of the warhammer world
In a way they are, but they are a sub race of Ghoul native to Kislev which is why they are not included in this video.
Wait I thought the wraiths with the synths (the ground variant) were also anti large?
The WHAT wraiths?
Cairn
Could you do any videos on the Beastmen or Chaos?
Already have there is a playlist if you check the channel.
@@jumbothick2984 cool I'll check it out. Are you into Age of Sigmar at all?
Nice vid. Have you tried using some mods, some of those units were made available by modders
You know I usually try to avoid mods as often my personal campaigns last so long that inevitably the game is updated and then all my work is gone, but I will certainly check them out and see what is what.
Didn't the vampires have screaming skull catapults and archers?
Back in the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy there was just a single army book for the Undead, but eventually the undead was split into the Vampire Counts and the Tomb Kings, I know the Scream Skull Catapult used to be in the Undead army book but it became a Tomb Exclusive, same for Skeleton archers as far as I’m aware.
So glad I can listen to fantasy lore without obnoxiously over-rolled R's and cringy political beliefs making it into videos
Oh, come on. Arch is not so bad. He can get a bit annoying at times though, I'll give you that.
🤓
@@andreikrivov2271 nah he is super cringy, and a MRA, so yeah I'm good.
@@liamlaney7509 MRA? I looked it up online, but there does not seem to be any mention of any sort of organization as MRA. Could you elaborate?
@ Ty. 😁
