"The Champion of Chaos, once wholly given to their Chaos Powers, will find one of three fates. Most find an ignoble death, joining the countless others in the final shuddering tearful moments as their bodies die. Others become Spawn, too far twisted by Chaos’ energies to retain their intelligence. But the prize, the fate all seek, is Daemonhood." - Witch Hunter Silus Helbrecht
Chaos is a massive Ponzi scheme
@@christianweibrecht6555 Exactly. And people keep buying into it.
Daemonhood is simply eternal servitude to evil gods. Better to die and go to Morr's realm than be a plaything of Chaos for all time.
Morr doesn't exist anymore in Age of Sigmar
Chaos Gods predate Morr
Actually, I'm pretty sure Morr is like the only god of the dead that wasn't consumed by Nagash
@@christiandauz3742 This is not Age of Shitmar
For an excellent look at the "career" of a chaos warrior - and his awful fate - I'd highly recommend "The Laughter of Dark Gods", a story by William King.
"Yet despite the momentum of their attack, the Elves were soon hard-pressed. Every Chaos Warrior was a purebred killer, his strength and capacity for slaughter augmented beyond mortal ken by the unholy blessings of the Dark Gods. Against these relentless slayers, the Elves were little match. Within moments, a dozen brave Asur had been carved to bloody ruin, their elegant scale mail scant protection against the terrible power of the Chaos Warriors..." - the Reaver Knights of Ulthuan's account after encountering them.
A few Years later: Yeeted into a perpetual prison of the Vortex!
N'Kari: After Being defeated by Anareon: Oh I like to be spanked as much as spanking....
Na'Kari in the Vortex for a few thousand years: A mere setback.
N'Kari after being Enslaved by Maliketh: Fuck I hate these Knife Eared bastards!
@@sushanalone What N'Kari hated most about being Malekith's pet for a while was that they were starting to enjoy it :P.
But you elves have the always strikes first special rule.
Forces of chaos always seem surprisingly well organised
Only because most who encounter them do so at their times of conquest under a great unifying leader.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought.
It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
- Terry Pratchett
The irony is that in Warhammer (big C) Chaos isn't the most (little c) chaotic side. They are, after all, unified by the purposes and interests of their mercurial gods. All of Chaos are working towards more or less the same ends, even if they compete fiercely to be the ones to do so. Destruction on the other hand is a true free-for-all, bound together only by the fact they don't fit into any other grand alliance.
Except under Abaddon's banner
Only when they kill their leader. then the forces of chaos ironically revert the chaos
"There is something deeply wrong in the world..."
In the Warhammer universe? You've got to be joking!
For the worship of the chaos gods.
In Norsca, Slaanesh is often used in marriage ceremonies and the feasting after battles are devoted to slaanesh. I mean a wild party after battle is very slaanesh.
As for Nurgle. He’s the god of death as well as plague and disease. So he would often be called upon during funeral ceremonies. A grand father to guide you to the next world.
The chaos gods can be very subtle. So pretending to be a fertility or funeral god to gain followers before corrupting them is very on brand.
Given the fact that Warhammer Fantasy draws on a lot of real life peoples and cultures for its inspiration.
Someone on the team REALLY doesn't like Scandinavians
And someone else REALLY likes Poles and Germans.
Im scandinavian and I could not dream of a better representation than giant unstoppable hell knight vikings
And eastern tribes are based on Mongolians and central Asian turkic tribes
@@Tragedous well said brother ❤

JUST.AS.PLANNED right?
In the north they do tend to be gifts rather than curses.
@MrocnyZbik if it's coming from Tzeench, are you still sure your "gift" isn't loaded with hundreds of surprises you wouldn't want?
@@leonelimalevu2199 just tank them like a man and you'll be fine
Heresy!
The slaves of chaos are no match for a good amount of steel, faith and gunpowder. For Sigmar and the Empire!!
ONWARD TO BATTLE! FOR THE EMPEROR AND THE EMPIRE!
Except... you know that one time they won and destroyed the World.
@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen We don't talk about that...it upsets people.
They have every right to be upset.
Bring it on southerners
The Empire has endured for centuries and will endure for centuries more!
"Archaeon the Everchosen, Lord of the end times has re-entered the world. Behind him marches a chaos host numberless in size. Prepare yourself for the coming apocalypse!"
Ugh, I recently repelled the Chaos invasion in Warhammer II. I moved all my greatest armies and still got broken over and over again, but never losing more than what's north of Kislev. Gelt and his assisting army fought two battles after which it was all retreat towards the bridge north of Kislev. Almost got away but Archaon and one additional chaos army caught up.
I figured I would die until I saw the map; It had a single chokepoint in the middle. I had four batteries of missile artillery, five lines of spears and five lines of swords to hold the line, supported by three lines of handgunners.
Although greatly weakened, Gelt's magical spam ate up whatever pushing Chaos managed to pull off. Everchosen died on that field and the invasion died down, even the three armies further west.
@@WarlordToby the irony of magic being part of the defeat of chaos
@@WarlordToby pretty sure that's a micro-cosm of the relationship between chaos and the realms of the mortal races in the lore of the setting as well.
Excellent video! The warriors of Chaos, particularly among the Norscans, are not to be underestimated in battle. Though I would like to say they're not monolithic in their cultural values, which is one of the things I really enjoy about Warhammer Fantasy as a setting, and you do actually have limited trade between there southern Norscan tribes and the rest of the people of the Old World. Granted, the further north you go from the southern coast of Norsca the less hospitable things are, be they the climate or the people.
You even get new villages popping up along the coasts of Nordland when a group of Norscans for whatever reason come in longboats and just set down roots. They make for rough citizens of the Empire, but more often than not integrate easily enough with the hardy folk of the Empire's north who worship Ulric, Taal, and Rhya above most other gods. I figure it's one of the most consistent ways Nordland maintains a coastal population considering the harsh winters and raiders from less agreeable Norscan tribes.
To serve the chaos gods is insanity. For it is to look your left, your right, all of your family, all of your tribe, the great leader infront of you. See all consigned to damnation but think you might escape by elevation to daemonhood.
And to think Daemon Princes are above the wrath of their patrons...
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm honestly shocked there are entire tribes that worship them considering all you said, plus the fact that they represent such inhumanity. I feel as though if the tribes of the north are really that far gone psychologically, they may as well just be Beastmen, and the ones that haven't been as affected should be just as disdainful of the ruinous powers as Kislev.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Templin Institute doing a reimagining of Warhammer Fantasy: End Times.
Majorkill did a pretty good one.
@@ladosdominik1506
I saw it and enjoyed it, but I would like to see someone take more liberties with the reimagining.
Sure maybe the schavin can still win, but maybe they are not responsible for EVERY thing that went wrong.
Have some Byzantine-Prussia death matches that cripple themselves, Have the Beastmen wreck some shit, and in the name Sigmar will the DRAGON EMPEROR JUST *DO SOMETHING*
@@mikeshogunlee
That's actually a very good point. Also I hate the fact that Chaos was just... Kinda there. They did not do anything really. And the Lizardmen were done very dirty.
@@ladosdominik1506 Skaven ruined End Times in the grand scheme of things. They shouldn't have been more important than Chaos and shouldn't OHKO the Lizardmen
@@LordVader1094 the skaven have always been more powerful than the North Men
A relatively small population of primitive humans versus a massive population that can tunnel anywhere has advanced technology, assassins, poison for days, doesn't wait for the gods to mutate them instead they mutate themselves, Etc
Whenever the Warriors of Chaos go for a very enthusiastic walk down south through Kislev to The Empire, they always ask their enemies how is their health plan.
Apparently it was great.
Karl Franz: Kurt Helborg, what are we looking at in terms of collateral?
Kurt Helborg: Well……..

"Woe, O world! The Age of Mortals is coming to an end. Time passes into oblivion, and the stars lapse in the sky. The dreadful breed of night is crawling out of darkness, to take possession of the world. Fools! Seek refuge in faith or madness, for there's no longer any other place to hide. The Reign of Chaos has begun!" -- Egrimm van Horstmann, Champion of Tzeentch

The end times was just a dream Archeon had after Karl Franz bonked him in the head with the war hammer.
Nah it's a hallucination after Grimgor punted him in the family jewels.
@@the_corvid97 Legends say it was both, simultaneously.
Storm of Chaos is the true ending. Kirby and the rest of GW's new writers can go fuck themselves.
This narrator is soo good. That last segment about the coming of archaon was soo grim
I wonder if any of these Warriors of Chaos who have spent time in the realm of Chaos have ever accidentally found themselves in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future...
I wonder how might that go about?
Warhammer Fantasy isn't my thing but I like the format so much its just relaxing to listen to at this point
SAME. I love how the similarities with 40k make it so easy to get into. Something about fantasy Warhammer just doesn't work for me. I enojyed playing Man-o-War for a while until it devolved to nothing but trading. The lore and story is well thought out though.
Absolutely majestic, the presentation of Archaon is nothing short than sheer awesomeness
Chaos warriors also supplement raiding income by posing for power metal album covers
And there was nothing left but ash and the echoing laughter of thirsting god
Thank you for making these, I really appreciate the effort and respect shown to the Lore
Hate is their weapon.
And immortality their reward.
12:08 the ascension of Daemon Prince Daniel.
"We seek the monsters that you fear the most. We chase the nightmares that haunt your cowardly dreams. The deadlier the prey, the more we exalt in the hunt, the more we honor our gods. This harsh land breeds the savage... and we revel in it. The Old World calls, ripe for our taking. We fought monsters... and we became them!" - Wulfric the Wanderer.
We became monsters…..
And forgot how to build walls
Also Wulfric the Wanderer
@@daswordofgork9823 to be fair, most Norscans worship Khorne, and he wouldn't want you to use them anyways
"Well, we indeed just called. We need new target practice for the Monster Slayer 2000, more commonly known as Hellstorm Rocket Battery. Gunners, you may fire when ready."
- Balthazar "Estalia" Gelt, probably
@@olafgurke4699 Welcoming them to Estalia I see
May the Grandfather grant us his blessings.
I agree, but add Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh
You missed a crucial part of Nurgle - he's not just disease, decay and cycle. He's the god of despair, that's why they are rivals with Tzeentch, who is hope.
I would argue that tzeench represents chaos as change wheres Nurgle is chaos as stagnation. Entropy versus anarchy. I still like your idea though
@@CleoPinto4317 you are completely right, but they are the same things basically. Hope = change, despair = stasis. And no, it's not my headcanon or idea, it's stated in the rulebooks. Check out 2 Realm of Chaos books where chaos was first introduced.
Chaos cannot be avoided, you either embrace it or be cast aside. Those who fight against it are simply delaying the enevitable and rage against the dying of the light. But their time will come, the end always comes. Life is a story, and Chaos is the author. All we do is wait for when the Chaos Gods decide to finish this book before picking up another.
Chaos comes for all! For the Dark Gods! For Chaos!
After a careful and precise examination, I have come to a conclusion: you are tainted by the mark of chaos. The stage? Terminal, I’m afraid. The only cure for someone who is as far gone as you are… is lead.
GLORY TO THE FOUR
Praise The Greater Four!!!
Pretty sure I put my enchanted axes somewhere near here... and I've learned never to stand by and watch while the disciples of the Dark Gods do their vile work. Bring it!
@@glaivewielder8403 You right, Witch Hunter. This comment smells like some serious heresy.
Wait, aren't there many tribes who (while being cruel and all) still live in a sorta functional community? Like in a not constantly drooling kinda way.
Yeah norsca in particular is functional but keep in mind that norsca and further up are crawling with chaos tainted creatures and even the most developed ports in norsca are constantly under attack by blood krakens so many tribes probably sacrifice slaves from raids to get boons to help survive the hostile climate.
I absolutely love that Warhammer Fantasy is still kicking strong despite GWs best efforts to force AoS on us.
The Empire Endures!
Warhammer Fantasy is Eternal
GW is reviving Warhammer Fantasy Battles as Warhammer: The Old World. Its release date is still unknown and it will be set during the Age of Three Emperors, many centuries before the End Times.
GW does not force AoS to replace Fantasy. They already profit from the hype.
End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid
Warriors of chaos are so heavy metal.
Its because of this channel i dove deep down the rabbit hole of the warhammer universe both fantasy and 40k and am now obsessed woth the lore
Immortal Empires Chaos Warriors are really REALLY surprising that they are not the very bland and boring selves in the the past game.
When it comes to Choas, I follow a simple philosophy.
My mind is no fortress! It is an open pasture ravaged by internecine conflict and chicken.
1-12 is a pretty shit W/L to be honest.
So happy to have you back sir Have missed very much. Thankyou.
Kinda weird how they made Norsca and Warriors of Chaos, two separate playable factions, considering that Norsca is the pre-evolution form of WoC.
Lore-wise, that's mostly true, although it is definitely possible to have a Chaos Warband comprised entirely of people from the more civilized realms who joined a cult... in terms of the history of the game, the Warriors of Chaos have been around since the first incarnation of the tabletop, with the Norscans being one of three ethnic groups that contributed troops to them (the other two are the Kurgans and Hung). Having Norsca as a separate faction from the Warriors is something that Games Workshop never bothered doing in tabletop, it was an innovation of Creative Assembly's video games.
As we saw in the TWW3 tutorial campaign, a lot of Warriors of Chaos are in fact former Imperials or otherwise from civilized nations, and not any kind of former northern barbarian. Archaon, for example, was once a warrior priest of Sigmar. Festus was likewise an Imperial physician before he was corrupted by Nurgle.
More like the defense force of disorganization! Am I right? No? Ok. Sure. Fine.
Khorne is the best God, and Aggretsuko is his greatest champion.
Dammit. I'm gonna have to paint Kagra's Ravagers as "Retsuko's Ravagers" now aren't I?
The 13th everchosen, the 13th black crusade, the 13th primarch is the first to return.. the emperor has been sitting upon the golden throne for 11 thousand years now, we are lefto to wonder, what will happen in the 44th millenium?
Wow talk about perfect timing, its almost as if this video was timed to come out just ahead of immortal empires and the new warriors of chaos rework/dlc. Love the work as always guys, keep it up!
Please make more Warhammer (especially Fantasy) videos, definitely my go to chanel for WHF with how well you present your every video
Oooh another WHF vis!
Interesting video on the Warriors of Chaos.
Do the Chaos Space Marines next....and maybe the Daemon Legions of Chaos for both 40K and Fantasy.
I haven’t watched the video yet but my bet is that the Chaos Warriors will basically be like Norsca but the Chaos Gods actually like them.
13:52 A little Death Dealer going on here. 👍👍
The slaves of chaos are no match for a good amount of nepotism, faith and nobility. For ze Lady and Bretonnia!!

@@skullcrusher6253 Damn straight brother.
I dunno, AoS gave us the Corvus Cabal and Iron Golems, who are far more interesting as cultures than the Chaos Marauders ever were.
Should have supported the tabletop when it was around bucko
End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid.
Storm of Chaos is the true ending...
"He slipped the key into his pocket..."
"No species is as susceptible as humans" Um, Skaven though? That was a brainfart by whoever wrote this video.
Outside of the Realm of Ruin and the Horned Rat, their creator theology, Skaven aren't nearly as affected, if at all even directly, as humans
Nope. Until the trainwreck thaycwas End Times Skaven vehemently opposed Chaos as tgey refused to bow to any god besides the Horned Rat...and their cowardice compelled them to stop the faction dedicated to destroying the world they wanted to dominate.
Lol what are you talking about? Skaven have their own god, they don't need to follow Chaos
YES MORE TEMPLIN INSTITUTE
Just one chaos warrior alone can take on entire regiments of troops, to face one of these hulking brutes requires great courage and even greater skill.
Yes but with a Shield of Thorns, a unit of Bretonnian peasants can bring down a quarter of a Chaos Warrior HP if it does not rout before.😁
@@sushanalone we ain't talking about total war
Join chaos, We have the HUNG
I read the title as Warriors of Chads lol
Gods this is so cool
“From my point of view, the Empire is evil!”
Grimgor: *rubs hands together* "yeeeeah, boiiiii"
It was never so much fun bring chaos to the world of warhammer now with the new WoC in Total War Warhammer. And this Video has the perfect atmosphere for it
I thought chaos gods feed of humans so would they wipe them out?
Quite so. The Chaos Gods don't want to destroy humanity, they just want humanity to produce more of the sorts of things that feed them. Which still isn't great for humanity in the long run: a world dominated by rage, by ambition, by desire, by despair is one in which civilisation will have a great deal of difficulty clinging together.
That's one of many reasons why the End Times was dumb.
That's 40k, Fantasy is quite different
Do you think for Halloween this year, you guys could do some kind of run-down on the history of the many iterations of Count Dracula?
Also you know Jack Garland disliked the video.
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!

Hey have you guys ever explored the winter tooth and throgg the troll king?
Chaos is rad, but I do miss when norsca was more than just “chaos but slightly farther south”. They have their own culture and way of life and are actually super widespread. They have colonies and raid distant coasts, and some make a living as mercenaries. None of that really comes across in recent media.
Because norsca is deeply related to chaos. They basically already follow chaos undevided and the chaos warriors are basically their nobilty
Archaon whole lore vid! The Gods demand it!
Quite a few warhammer videos lately
Is it like the anniversary of its creation or did you just feel like doing more videos for this franchise?!
Total War: Warhammer 3 Immortal Empire comes out tomorrow.
@@Tommy9834 WOO HOO!!!
Probably a good move since the game Total war Warhammer 3 is getting an update really soon (I think tomorrow)
Nothing like unleashing a few Ikkit nuclear bomb on these twisted individuals. Just imagine a new Chaos faction, that is against Chaos Gods, someone forsaken by the Gods of Order and Gods of Chaos... an army that swroe Revenge towards the Gods
Would love to see a video about Archeon. And the Dwarves...great video...
Btw how do you feel about the outdated lore about the Gods of Chaos, that they aren't emotions, but amalgamations of likeminded souls?
Question: is Chaos handled in the same way in both 40k & Fantasy?
The greatest difference is probably the Warp, which is used and abused for interstellar travel. Whenever the pantheon get excited or cranky they just shut the whole thing down. It is where the vast majority of the chaos forces are kept until needed, so much so that they're constantly scratching at the hulls of ships passing through. The Eldar built permanent safe tunnels through the warp and called it the webway. The Emperor started exploring these paths until chaos broke in, and then the Emperor's throne became like a cork on a champagne bottle keeping the demons in the webway nexus on Terra. This throne being powered by the sacrifice of a thousand psychically gifted humans a day
In 40K chaos is a amoral force that has pros and cons while being necessary for the existence of sentient life
In fantasy it is just evil and the world would be better off if it was eradicated
@@cpt_bill366 OK, but who made the hole in the Webway, did a Skaven eat through the tunnel?
@@sushanalone Perhaps it was a Chaos God out of a fit of rage
@@sushanalone The Eldar failed to maintain much of it due to the collapse of their civilization.
Do you hear the voices too?
You have to think how insanely hard it would be to fight someone in thick plate a giant tower shield and a bastard sword who can fight and move like he's wearing nothing and survive let alone be able to kill it, and that's just a chaos warrior, you haven't seen the champion or chosen because you are already dead.
Epic. Well done!
I love how they are stylish and hardcore interpretations of the most caricatural representations of nordic vikings. Even Chaos Gods can be inspired by Scandinavian Gods.
Khorne = All the many war gods, especially Thor, Tyr and Surtur
Tzeentch = Both Odin and Loki
Nurgle = Hel
Slaanesh = Freyja and Baldr
All are pawns to the Great Deceiver!
Great video love WHF and 40k. I'd to see a Dynasty Warrior based off the Warhammer verse.
For the dark gods!
