Look at the flocks of adorable man eating squigs as they tear apart their opponents savagely. These are honestly the best unit they ever made in WarHammer Total War
@ Yah, makes me wonder if Greasus Goldtooth was the DLC Lord instead, they would give him the Gnoblar carried gold bed with how complex the movement is.
The best part about the mangler squigs is, due presumably to a bit of oversight between design and testing, the animations of the mangler squigs cause knockback *before* enemy units can make contact with their hit box... which means mangler squiggles can charge head-first into elite halberds like the Keepers of the Flame and take 0 charge reflection damage, because the halberds get knocked back and count as unbraced when the squigs charge into them
Orks use squigs as both popcorn buckets and the popcorn in the bucket. They usually knock them out first before filling them with squigcorn. They love it when it tries to eat their fingers when it wakes up cause they get to knock it out again.
If you have never seen the actual model you deserve for yourself to look it up. I enjoy when the game captures the chaotic energy of the sculpt and elevates it to perfection.
I know "whirlwind of death" gets tossed around a lot to describe some of the units in this game. But that is literally the only phrase I can use to describe this monstrosity.
I don't know why, but that music and those Mangler Squigs, as they go complete and utterly bonkers, somehow fits perfectly together in my opinion, don't know why but, I just think they do
@@crynostic9300 I can't exactly remember it, but heard it a lot of different times, as it's some sort of classical music piece, if I'm remember correctly, though I'm rather uncertain
Tzeentch: "Knowledge is power, and I hold the key to all of it." Khorne: "Then explain the physics of 'That' over there." Tzeentch: "I can't do the impossible Mr. Ragefist!"
I think the thing that makes Mangler squigs so strong is that their attacks are contact, they don't have proper attack animations. This means they don't knock over enemies, and Legend has told me many times that units that have been knocked over can't take damage, most units will sit there and wait for the knocked over unit to get back up before they go back to kicking the shit out of each other. But not the Mangler Squigs, they're built different, and it's great.
It looks like one of those animations a new 3D artist would make that just goes completely wrong and does not do what the person originally intended, but kept anyways.
The Chaos Gods reaction when Gork and Mork introduced their newest weapon Tzeentch: *Laughs uproariously, rolling on the floor laughing.* Nurgle: "what in my name...." Slaneesh: "Do they come with extra knives?" Khorne: *Pinching the bridge of his nose trying not to explode a warp storm into existence*
Nice Lol, Kled: The Reunion refference. :D I love how the enemies just stand there as if they are asking: "How the heck are we supposed to fight that???"
This is even more violent, chaotic and beautiful as I expected it would be. And the music only enhanced it. Even Khorne looking at this thinks "Man, chill with all the chaotic violence. Enough already"
this is purely why mangler squigs are made OP yet, to make okoii please all the viewers AND the devs for seeing this masterpiece ! big thanks CA and okoii to make my day even before its out !
From the moment I first saw this unit in the CA showcase, the only thing I could think was "this, this is most Okoii memestack thing I have ever seen"... I was not disappointed.
man , that intro was amazing the squigs ballett performance, showcasing its natural beauty in its chaos while the Gnoblins try to hold on for dear life. marvelous
Opened this vid on mute and saw the peaceful towers…. Thats unlike Okoii…. instantly clicked what you were doing, opening soundtrack came straight to mind, boot the volume up and sure enough, absolute legend!
What was that in 3:08? Why did you give me the image of Skarbrand having a corset! Now I can't unsee it anymore, Idk if I can continue ny Skarbrand Campaign with 4K texture knowing he is wearing a corset.
World class again. One brief shot where two zombies go flying. The foreknowledge as the final scene opens that the huge stack of hell's demons will just be chum for the chain grinder. Immortal deathless vampire conquerors, all dignity and flow, mumped by gumps. It brings joy.
How do you always come up with hilarious names? XD The Nunchuk one was golden, and the cream of the crop was the last one, the perfect conclusion "Other people Dog"! Very relatable! XD 2:40 : The animation are a bit too fast for us to see it, but there are very nice details in them. Like how one of the goblin fall in a squig's mouth, get bitten, then spit out. x) 3:07 : Apparently, Okoii, Tarriff and CodyBonds all agree on the fact that Skarbrand is wearing a corset. XD
My man created the doomstack equivalent of the cartoon dustcloud brawl
Isn't that just the orcs in a nut shell?
Weaponized the goddamn Langoliers from that Stephen King miniseries.
I dont think that could have been described any better.
It's like getting attacked by Warner Brother's Tasmanian Devil, plus 75 of his duplicates.
@@Moonhermit- God dammit you beat me to it😂
Fans: "Sooooo what will the Mangler Squig idle animations look like?"
CA Animator: "Idle?"
CA: This slaughter train has no brakes.
It's a universal rule that the more chaotic the visuals, the better classical music will fit.
i mean these gobo jumping cinematicaly fit really well with the music
Warhammer animators really had a field day with these huh...
I feel like whoever made the Mangler Squigs and the Nurglings HAVE to have been the same person
@@Canadian_Zac UUUh. Mangler squig doomstack vs nurgling doomstack! Get ready for an aneurysm
People, no way one person set this up. @@Canadian_Zac
The animations are a hot mess. Looks like complete rubbish.
@@BvzSA And I love it!

Its wild how badly they crush even nurglings, the old goat.
@ Yah, makes me wonder if Greasus Goldtooth was the DLC Lord instead, they would give him the Gnoblar carried gold bed with how complex the movement is.
Bruh these are literally the most Greenskin units of Greenskin units
@ They are Gork and Morks personal chariots
One problem.
With a great fire power in distance.
Exemple, vampire coast, chaos dwarfs, the empire, dwarfs. You haven't problem for kill them.

This might get patched quickly. Then again, some chariot bugs still remain and some SE's still are really bad in duels.

Working perfectly, they are clearly the highest tier cav in the game

This is what popcorn is like in hell.

Don't you mean popkorn? 😂
What's worst is the burnt kernels that don't pop
@@SmokeDrake No, "popkhorne" is what happened to that bloodthirster at 3:10.
*Heaven
Fighting an army of these things is like trying to fight a tornado filled with railroad spikes.
The entire Hanna-Barbera sound effect library couldnt do this unit justice
Honestly I feel like these need Ed Edd & Eddy sound effects.
>>Can squigga borrow a sandwich?
>>Squigga are you gonna give it back?!
Fucking spit out my coffee LOL
1: Meth Chain Chomp doomstack is based.
2: Vlad von Carstein as Dracula Flow is something I didn't know I needed, until now.
Strangely fitting, lol.

0:29 YEEESSSS, ITS BEAUTIFUL
I know "whirlwind of death" gets tossed around a lot to describe some of the units in this game.
But that is literally the only phrase I can use to describe this monstrosity.
Also emergency ork rations
Squig Blendomatic 9000
Rampage inmune because they are always rampaging
"the blender" fits enough for me
Beautiful

What is that song btw?

Okoii: watches The Langoliers
Also Okoii: "Neat. I bet they'd make for great pets."
Yes I’m not the only one thinking about this movie
Tzeentch: "Knowledge is power, and I hold the key to all of it."
Khorne: "Then explain the physics of 'That' over there."
Tzeentch: "I can't do the impossible Mr. Ragefist!"
What's physics anyway?
Counterpoint, tzeentch basically does this same tactic with pink horrors. So the lord of change is totally down with mosh pits.
“Mr. Ragefist” is Khorne’s new nickname.
"holy shit guys relax" - Skarbrand the Exiled One, Bloodthirster of Khorne
The flesh based cartoon dust-up brawl apparently absolutely wrecks not only in game, but also the RUclips mobile bitrate. What glory.

This means they don't knock over enemies, and Legend has told me many times that units that have been knocked over can't take damage, most units will sit there and wait for the knocked over unit to get back up before they go back to kicking the shit out of each other.

they did it.... they finally did it. Now they just have to animate greasus goldtooth's true gnobblars mount.
Reminds me of Gmod videos where the people just fly around for a walk animation. But that literally the unit and it's beautiful.
Now all we need is a Mangler Squig ragdoll in the Gmod Steam Workshop.
More and more I believe CA has been let loose off their chains with certain animations.
Dunno why
I thought the squig hopping RIGHT in front of Skarbrand's head at 3:55 was an edit, but it's just the funniest squig ever.
One of the craziest total war units of all time, I love them.
2:11 My God...
Squig du Soleil looking great this year
It looks like one of those animations a new 3D artist would make that just goes completely wrong and does not do what the person originally intended, but kept anyways.
Skarbrand getting melted by the squigs fucking killed me
The best vortex spell in the game

19 MANGLER SQUIGS AT RAM RANCH
00:26 perfect camera angle
1:52 "Pet Pitballs*"
0:31 Truly....one of natures wonderous marvels!
That cinematic intro with the classical music underneath was so beautiful it almost made me tear up
“Other people’s Dogs” Is a genuinely hilarious name
4:06 when he exited from the battle, the perfect quote came up to the right
What a wonderful opening, I hope nothing bad happens. *19 Squigs later*
"F it we balls" has gotta be one of my favorite unit names I've ever seen on this channel, truly a masterpiece.
This video sold me on a DLC faster than any promo trailer ever could.
This is one of the greatest pieces of art ever put onto RUclips
Mangler squigs represent chaos way better than any chaos unit.
Nice Lol, Kled: The Reunion refference. :D
I love how the enemies just stand there as if they are asking: "How the heck are we supposed to fight that???"
Quite possibly your finest work yet. The music choice was sublime.
The most beautifully animated unit ever. Mangler squigs really epitomise grace, elegance and finesse.
This is even more violent, chaotic and beautiful as I expected it would be. And the music only enhanced it.
Even Khorne looking at this thinks "Man, chill with all the chaotic violence. Enough already"
this is purely why mangler squigs are made OP yet, to make okoii please all the viewers AND the devs for seeing this masterpiece !
big thanks CA and okoii to make my day even before its out !
Sent back down the Dracula Flow rabbit hole 😭 Thanks Okoii
Holy, those squigs got BUFFED. An extra 18 speed? nearly double the charge bonus? 24 more melee attack and 20 more melee defense? god, it’s beautiful.
Look mom Okoii started to cook again
*absolute CINEMA*
From the moment I first saw this unit in the CA showcase, the only thing I could think was "this, this is most Okoii memestack thing I have ever seen"... I was not disappointed.
It was only a matter of time. As soon as i saw the new units, I was looking forward to this. Perfection
The sheer joy I get out of each of these videos is simply a measurable Okoii. Thanks mate 👌
man , that intro was amazing
the squigs ballett performance, showcasing its natural beauty in its chaos while the Gnoblins try to hold on for dear life.
marvelous
Mr President a second thunderbarge has hit total war
One of the greatest updates gaming has ever seen. Vanilla squigs are also OP with the +32 against infantry and +40 damage resistance.
I don’t know why but the mangler squid on the left of the title card looks like a minion from overlord with the face!
Another exellent vid okoii
I haven't heard Classical Music since Tom & Jerry.
Didn't expect to hear it again in a Mangler Squigs video out of every possibilities.
Vlad: "AAAAAhH, THE SQUIGS ARE BACK!"
Absolute peak. I love the mangers animation so much
2:33 shows just how organized this chaos really is
Opened this vid on mute and saw the peaceful towers…. Thats unlike Okoii…. instantly clicked what you were doing, opening soundtrack came straight to mind, boot the volume up and sure enough, absolute legend!
Ok ok "Autistic beyblades" got me
If Source engine physics was an enemy
They have the best animation with the nurgling
I genuinely laughed, I love this. I love your videos they seriously pick me up man
I love this time of year, the Mangler Squigs bounce around everywhere you look
One of the only things more chaotic than a Nurgling Doomstack, at least the Nurlings have some moments of coordination.
What was that in 3:08? Why did you give me the image of Skarbrand having a corset! Now I can't unsee it anymore, Idk if I can continue ny Skarbrand Campaign with 4K texture knowing he is wearing a corset.
Whoever was the animation designer on them better have gotten a raise cause the way they had these crazy things run about is just so priceless.
Whoever designed this unit has to be the same madlad who designed the nurglings. 😘
It... It's so beautiful! Like poetry in motion!
A work of art and enough to make a grown man cry, and that's okay. Truly, truly, beautiful.
Who would win?
-Giant elder demon, the embodiment of war and slaughter
-A pack of spoiled meatballs
i love the most chaotic units get the most eloquent music
Squidward : It's beautiful...
"Men are so confusing, what do they want?"
What men want:
I have no words.
This, is what Noise Marines are based on. What divine, cataclysmic beauty.
Fools: “Aaaw the green skin dlc is disappointing”
Okoii: “this is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my entire life.”
I think Rick and Morty once referenced "the blender dimension". Never thought I'd get to actually see it!

I love the Pop rOrcs on crack.
I'm not a big fan of AoS but I really hope we get more AoS units like this because this shit is incredible
Mangler squigs were an 8th ed Fantasy unit. So AoS adjacent.
@bobsickle2336 the more ya know
That's 19 of the cutest bit rate killers I've ever seen.
Honestly, it´s admiring the animation on these units
