@@nvmtt i doubt it, I think they might be just telling their iteration of the End Times cause I noticed some discrepancies too from a vid a while back
Re post. In the time of legends novel that is the history of nagash The elixir of life was created in concert with arkhan the black and neferata it was a weak version of the true elixir since nagash never fully taught any of his servants the full recipie. Neferata was then poisoned with sphynx poision dying while taking the elixir created the state of un death. The source books and the wiki are terrible with these descriptions and often don't take into account any novels or histories outside the army books.
What I always love about the end times is how much Vlad genuinely tries to help the Empire. Like yes, in normal times he is rightfully seen as a threat, but it shows that actually he does just see himself as a rightful elector count and wants to protect the Empire. Obviously ultimately for his own gain, but still
Vlad is a servant and noble of the empire first, vampire second. He also looks after his herd of humans in his realm. He believes himself rightful emperor, from his perspective his wars with the empire were civil and legal disputes, from the eyes of the ignorant church of Sigmar he is an abomination to be purged; Ignorant of the fact they are all in this together against Chaos.
@@olknoxlo That wasn't Vlad, that was Manfred. Mannfred von Carstein allied with Arkhan the Black who planned the return of Nagash. He was the one who captured innocents for sacrifice. Mannfred and Vlad are two very different people, Vlad sired Mannfred.
Wow They did Volkmar dirty! Guy who survived being tortured by Archaon. Only guy who survived an encounter with him. And his fate is 'tricked into a trap, and tortured to death by Manny'
One correction Karl Franc has beaten the Glotkin brothers when he became Incarnate of Haven. He one-shot three of them. And then he cleansed the Altorf. But realized that Aldorf is lost and impossible to defend so he retreated to Averheim. Nurgle was so mad that Glotkin lost the battle, he turn them into flies and put them in the jar.
Thankfully(or unfortunately)Papa is never mad for long, and his wrath is like a moth during its last days; fragile and easy to kill. He always forgives his children, what good grandfather wouldn’t?
The idea of an undead necromantic lord appealing to "feudal law" is perhaps the most absurd thing ive encountered in a long while. And yes, I do realize that this video features the skaven pulling as Mr. Show, and blowing up the moon.
I’m curious why do people hate the end times so much they don’t like the idea of the world ending Altdorf being destroyed everyone dying in the start of something new I’m just really curious. I’ve listen to the first three end times books on Audible and I really like them everybody dies but so what
You do realize that the entire book "The Fall of ALtdorf" in audiobook format is on RUclips right now? If you really like this video, i urge you to watch the audiobook as soon as possible, before it gets DMCA'd.
@@Hello-ig1px I've read the novel on Kindle a few years back but I don't find it as good as the actual narrative campaign supplement the novel originated from
Wow... This is impressive. No matter how hard Kings and Generals tries, they just can't stop the end times from sounding like one of the worst fantasy story (endings) ever
This is kinda how Atldorf fell in my immortal engines campaign, but I was to busy playing as Britonnia to realize the empire got absolutely slaughtered until they were coming through the mountain pass
For several campaigns as Bretonnian on my end, Mannchild von Carstein keeps taking Kislev and arcing *_ALL_* the way around before moving to Altdorf. By the time I first see how close the Carsteins are is the moment I've already popped a crusade against the undead and just started moving my armies into the Empire.
@@ItsDaKoolaidDude Crazy, I'm always fighting against the undead or the Tomb legion, The Empire always falls if I don't specifically send troops over there. The only human country that survives is the area of grand Cathy
There is sooo much lore in the Warhammer world its amazing. And that really comes across with these videos, its as if you are doing an actual history documentary and i F**king love it!!!!
I am so torn RN, on one hand I want to watch the video and see how it compares to the narrative campaign books. On the other hand I want to wait until the whole series is finished so I can binge watch the whole show... I'll still leave a like though so I'll remember
This and Kings and Generals are two of my favorite channels. Excellent work. I'd LOVE to see them do the Battle of Tukayyid from Battletech. Such an underappreciated setting.
It's probably not popular enough. Even the Mechwarrior games never go to places and battles described in the novels except Mechwarrior 2 and it's Mercenaries and those were very light on it. The setting is not just underappreciated, it's mismanaged as well.
oooh so the next video will probably tell about how the skaven nuked the moon inflicting a damage so massive the lizardmen decided to go back into space before turning into the Seraphon in AOS, practically wiping out Lustria.
I have to credit an end times product with getting me into Warhammer, that being the game Vermintide 2. But I was well aware of Warhammer, just never really tried any games or anything else until VT2. I also tried the MMORPG back before it went offline. Killing those damn ratmen and Chaos warriors is very satisfying.
Such a damn shame how they did Warhammer Fantasy. 40K may be more epic in scale and stories but something about the fact that Humans fight Orks, Demons, Undead with melee weapons, gunpowder weapons, canons steam tanks and magic is just so epic to me that I wish they would just remade the End times or delete it completely ...
In my country and Asia, nobody cares about WH 40k, we just love warhammer fantasy and hate they did the end times, and yes, with the success of Total war warhammer, many Asians really love to dig in warhammer fantasy world
I wonder if the sacrifice of Aliathra would have long term consequences for Nagash? I like the Warhammer fantasy videos and hope to see more covered over the different places and time of the world. I also hope you'll make a lore video from the many worlds of anime/manga in future as well.
Thanks for what must be a torturous exercise now. GWs editorial screwed up from here. Vlad is raised by Nagash AFTER Arkhan and Mannfred bring back the Great Necromancer (you forgot to mention that the ritual didn't quite work as the Everchild was a bastard daughter of the Everqueen and Tyrion. Also the Fey Enchantress had been turned into a vampire before she was sacrificed). But this is all before the Auric Wall is raised by Gelt and the fall of Kislev. Any way Vlad now takes over Sylvania (despite Mannfred claiming it) and assists in the defence of the Auric Wall before then going against Nagash's orders and actively helping the Empire and accepting Karl Franz as Emperor in return for being recognised as eternal Elector Count of Sylvania (screw you Mannfred). The story is so huge and so convoluted that doing it the way they did (writing books on specific characters and their experiences) rather than having a book by book description of the War across the entire world chronologically invited confusion and timing mistakes. And as always the dice is heavily rigged in Chaos favour. And, sadly, the worst is still yet to come.
You guys manage to make the dumpster fire end times seem interesting. Maybe it is just all in the way it’s presented that makes it more interesting this way.
Chaos really gpt the Mary Sue treatment in End Times. Somehow Festus beat Louen, somehow a wounded Mary Sue... Uhhh I mean Glotkin can beat Vlad and Franz etc.
Without over doing it. I'd rather have the map be lore accurate versus what CA likes to do which is add every type of faction to every continent even if it makes zero sense. Like Tomb Kings in Naggarond

fully agreed, since GW was going to end the TW IP in it's form at the time it was a good idea to at least send it out with a bang and have a ragnarok type event... but the execution was rushed and terrible, they got the Game Of Thrones season 8 treatment
@@NiskaMagnusson Generally there is nothing wrong with the "Bad guys" winning but The End Times is just everyone getting steam rolled by Skaven, Chaos and whatever else, without much effort whatsoever. It's just lame.
Despite forcing the empire and its allies to flee the capital city of the empire and leave it to the forces of chaos, the fall of Altdorf is still a pyrrhic victory for chaos, what with the rebirth of Sigmar in the body of Karl Franz and massive casualties inflicted on their armies and most importantly many of their most ferocious champions, leaves more vulnerable to a counter attack by remaining forces of the empire and its allies in time. While the skaven occupy themselves with other matters.
Yeah this chaos fanfiction is really funny. I presume the writer probably saw himself as kindred souls with Otto (probably too a bloated basement dweller) and made him into a anime protagonist nobody that suddenly defeats everyone just because it is convinient.
This is a good video, don't get me wrong, but why did you skip all the undead plot? The battle of Mousillon, Neferata's and Mannfred's campaigns, the resurrection of Nagash, the Nehekharan campaign, the Helreach and the Battle against Harkon where Karl Franz falls... not mentioning the whole Maggoth Lords besieging Talaheim thing. I mean, they're all important events for what comes later. I hope you'll correct this with a future video.
The production value on these videos is spectacular! Great work! I only wish I enjoyed the story of The End Times more... 😑 You should definitely do loads more stuff for The Old World
Great video...but alot of the content was either misunderstood or straight up incorrect, ill give some examples. 1. The Bretonnians only made it to Altdolf when the seige was halfway through, they charged on one of the three Chaos armies in the rear, effectively routing it. (Plus Giles le Bretton was not with them) 2. Hellborg only made an alliance with Vlad Von Carstien when the main defence of Altdorf was falling apart, when the mass of undead flooded the burning city it practically became a three way fight, with the armies of Chaos and Undeath tearing into one another like rabid dogs while the Empire forces desperately clung on to the few remaining hold outs they had left. 3. The Dwarfs and the High Elves both tried to rescue the Everchild. The Dwarfs marched on Sylvania but were turned back by a massive army of Beastmen, while the High Elves made an alliance with the Empire and maneged to fight their way to Mannfred Von Carstien and Arkan the Black who were doing the ritual to bring Nagash back. Unfortunately the Elves failed, the Everchild was sacrificed and Eltharion (Leader of the High Elves) got turned to ashes. 4. Franz did not leave Altdorf to it's 'green fate' when Otto struck him down and he died, he was reborn as the Avatar of Sigmar and the chosen host of the magical lore of Heaven. When this happened, it sent a massive magical golden shockwave across the burning city, completely disintegrating the entirety of both the Chaotic and Undead armies. Leaving the remaining Empire forces wondering what the hell just happened. Altdorf was abandoned soon afterwards. There, just a few points I wanted to speak up on.
Ahhh, no no no no no. Vashanesh was the first of his line, not Manfred. Neferata gave Vashanesh the blood kiss, and later, after the fall of the vampire kingdom in Nehekara, Vashanesh traveled north to sylvania over the centuries in hiding, and eventually overtook the city of Drakanhof. It was here that he fell in love with Isabella von Drak, daughter of the late Imperial Count Otto von Drak. Doomed with illness, Vashanesh gave her the Blood kiss, took over as the Reigning Count of Sylvania, and changed his name to Vlad Von Carstein. He and Issabella sired 2 children, (method unknown) Manfred Von Carstein, and Conrad Von Carstein, there in Castle Drakenhof. Manfred was NOT even around at the time of the first Vampires when they were created by the misleading guidance and influence of Arkhan the Black, who was being instructed to corrupt the Elixer by Nagash himself, whom Arkhan could converse with via the winds of Death.
It's sad more books weren't written as it be very interesting to know we're Konrad and Manfred there children. Someone else's that they then raised or was it just the two humans they trusted the most or had some sort of friendship with that we never get to see
he was in brittonia. louen left Brettonia because he was upset and jealous Gilles took his spot. so Louen was crying and asking the lady what he did to make her turn her back on him and that he would do whatever she wanted. the lady then appeared and said she did not turn her back on him. she also said it was Gilles destiny to be the king and louen's destiny was elsewhere. then she pulled some reverse psychology on Louen and essentially made him volunteer to go on a suicide mission to help Altdorf (she told Louen that he was most likely going to die at least). louen decided, since it wasn't his destiny to be king of brettonia, he would go fulfill his new destiny, which was to go on a suicide mission. louen still had the respect of many knights and when he told them that he was going on a suicide mission because the lady asked him to, his knights decided that they also wanted to die for no reason, so they joined him. meanwhile, in brettonia, Gilles was just being the king and defending the lands against Chaos. Gilles is never brought up again, so we have to assume that this is all he was doing the whole time.
the entire audio book for The Fall of Altdorf is on RUclips right now. if you are really interested, i urge you to watch it as soon as possible before GW finds out and DMCA's it. Its in 2 parts and like 11 hours total
The "Fall of Altdorf" the book was epic. It basically contains 2 small sieges and the massive siege of Altdorf at the end,it has a great opening and great characters. It's very well-written and Chris Wraight gives us a great Warhammer Fantasy story once again. But Games Workshop decided to destroy one of the best High Fantasy settings and turn into an abomination...in favor of Warhammer 40,000.
@@jeambeam3173 The rumor was that they concentrated on Warhammer 40,000 and they didn't like how Warhammer Fantasy was not making the money of Warhammer 40k.
@@Tsagia Not really a rumor, it's pretty much a fact. It wasn't selling well so GW made last ditch effort by make it more as skirmish game by making Age of Sigmar. And by going to new setting they can now go free with their model designs. And it worked. Fantasy models sales went up, it is now on it's 3rd edition and now GW has money to re-release Warhammer Fantasy as The Old World for as prequel to Age of Sigmar.

Okay GREAT job Kings and Generals … I mean @Wizards and Warriors… Anyone watching this and reading this I would love some recommendations of where to start reading Warhammer Fantasy books, I’ve heard the story of Vlad is EXTREMELY interesting but I am open to any ideas and suggestions! Thanks in advance and again, GREAT WORK! @Wizards and Warriors
Can someone explain to me how Vlad is alive and where the heck is Isabella? And why is Vlad helping the Empire. I AM SO CONFUSED. Never read the End times cause I only heard bad things about it.
When Nagash was revived he resurrected Vlad, and made him one of his Mortarchs and gave him the task of holding off Chaos while Nagash tried to achieve godhood by absorbing the wind of Shyish, and so Vlad went to aid the Empire, as for Isabella, she was not resurrected by Nagash but rather was possessed by a daemon of nurgle and lead a massive host that would fight the other undead in Sylvania.
Not really. Due to years of failing sails GW decided to essentially end Fantasy and tried again with AoS. That said due to games like Total War and Vermintide interest doesn’t up and they started working on the Old World

3. The Dwarfs and the High Elves both tried to rescue the Everchild. The Dwarfs marched on Sylvania but were turned back by a massive army of Beastmen, while the High Elves made an alliance with the Empire and maneged to fight their way to Mannfred Von Carstien and Arkan the Black who were doing the ritual to bring Nagash back. Unfortunately the Elves failed, the Everchild was sacrificed and Eltharion (Leader of the High Elves) got turned to ashes.
4. Franz did not leave Altdorf to it's 'green fate' when Otto struck him down and he died, he was reborn as the Avatar of Sigmar and the chosen host of the magical lore of Heaven. When this happened, it sent a massive magical golden shockwave across the burning city, completely disintegrating the entirety of both the Chaotic and Undead armies. Leaving the remaining Empire forces wondering what the hell just happened. Altdorf was abandoned soon afterwards.
There, just a few points I wanted to speak up on.
Ah man the Lizardmen, the end times did everyone dirty, but it treated the chaos dwarfs and Lizardmen especially dirty
Nice. However, the temple in the video map is not Shallya's Temple but the Grand Temple of Sigmar.
Was Doctor Festus also someone's uncle? ?;- ) These videos are so good this channel could make the confused World of Warcraft lore sound epic.
"Manling nonsense if ever I heard it" -Gotrek Gurnisson after hearing the news about the fall of Altdorf
Ahhh, no no no no no. Vashanesh was the first of his line, not Manfred. Neferata gave Vashanesh the blood kiss, and later, after the fall of the vampire kingdom in Nehekara, Vashanesh traveled north to sylvania over the centuries in hiding, and eventually overtook the city of Drakanhof. It was here that he fell in love with Isabella von Drak, daughter of the late Imperial Count Otto von Drak. Doomed with illness, Vashanesh gave her the Blood kiss, took over as the Reigning Count of Sylvania, and changed his name to Vlad Von Carstein. He and Issabella sired 2 children, (method unknown) Manfred Von Carstein, and Conrad Von Carstein, there in Castle Drakenhof. Manfred was NOT even around at the time of the first Vampires when they were created by the misleading guidance and influence of Arkhan the Black, who was being instructed to corrupt the Elixer by Nagash himself, whom Arkhan could converse with via the winds of Death.
It's sad more books weren't written as it be very interesting to know we're Konrad and Manfred there children. Someone else's that they then raised or was it just the two humans they trusted the most or had some sort of friendship with that we never get to see
Your origin on Neferata is.... Extremely simplified... But I do love this channel and I hear videos. Well done
I absolutely love this channel!❤❤🎉🎉
Imagine being a Free Company Militia man as Chaos host pours past the undead towards you.
amazing stuff
After listening to this decided to go for a round of Warhammer total war and rip chaos a new one... or three since it's nurgle
Mannfred von Carstein living up to his Manchild Von Carstein name, as always.
I will write fantasy books just so you could make videos of the battles
1st day of requesting a video series about the Horus Heresy
I missed this content about warhammer
Though the End Times sucks donkey doo-doo, your videos and presentation on it are superb.
wow this is really good
Sooo good!!!
Great video!
Man: I don’t like it.
Carstein: I don’t either but fuck chaos
Man: ….yea fuck chaos you’re alright
Gawd I love this channel
Can someone tell me where to find this lore and do the forces of good comeback?
This one has Ikit Claw in it, thus I am obligated to like.
If i was stuck in a room with a gun, twi bullets, Archaons, Nagash and Manfred Von Carstein, i would fire at Manfred *twice*, just to be sure.
where is Gilles le Breton when Louen fell and Altdorf was broken through?!
he was in brittonia.
louen left Brettonia because he was upset and jealous Gilles took his spot.
so Louen was crying and asking the lady what he did to make her turn her back on him and that he would do whatever she wanted.
the lady then appeared and said she did not turn her back on him. she also said it was Gilles destiny to be the king and louen's destiny was elsewhere.
then she pulled some reverse psychology on Louen and essentially made him volunteer to go on a suicide mission to help Altdorf (she told Louen that he was most likely going to die at least).
louen decided, since it wasn't his destiny to be king of brettonia, he would go fulfill his new destiny, which was to go on a suicide mission.
louen still had the respect of many knights and when he told them that he was going on a suicide mission because the lady asked him to, his knights decided that they also wanted to die for no reason, so they joined him.
meanwhile, in brettonia, Gilles was just being the king and defending the lands against Chaos. Gilles is never brought up again, so we have to assume that this is all he was doing the whole time.
the entire audio book for The Fall of Altdorf is on RUclips right now.
if you are really interested, i urge you to watch it as soon as possible before GW finds out and DMCA's it.
Its in 2 parts and like 11 hours total
@@Hello-ig1px ooh, thank you so much for the explanations 😊
As much as i hated the end times, ive still always loved how much all the von Carsteins wanted all the smoke from chaos lol.
This channel is awesome
You should cover 40K and Star Wars!
End times isn't lore, it's fan fiction.
Who wins in the end?
The "Fall of Altdorf" the book was epic. It basically contains 2 small sieges and the massive siege of Altdorf at the end,it has a great opening and great characters. It's very well-written and Chris Wraight gives us a great Warhammer Fantasy story once again. But Games Workshop decided to destroy one of the best High Fantasy settings and turn into an abomination...in favor of Warhammer 40,000.
They killed off Oldhammer so it could be reborn more terrible and copyrightable that before.
Um you mean in favor of Age of Shitmar. 40k is awesome
@@jeambeam3173 The rumor was that they concentrated on Warhammer 40,000 and they didn't like how Warhammer Fantasy was not making the money of Warhammer 40k.
@@Tsagia Not really a rumor, it's pretty much a fact. It wasn't selling well so GW made last ditch effort by make it more as skirmish game by making Age of Sigmar. And by going to new setting they can now go free with their model designs.
And it worked. Fantasy models sales went up, it is now on it's 3rd edition and now GW has money to re-release Warhammer Fantasy as The Old World for as prequel to Age of Sigmar.
@@TheVergonernow , everyone know about warhammer is just Warhammer total war , in my country and most of Asia, only warhammer fantasy is famous because of Total war warhammer’s success, nobody knows WH 40k
great video ! too bad Altdorf was sack by the chaos. now the hope rests with the lizardmens to defend against skaven invasion. cant wait to the next episode of this.
Vlad was a Chad
Dope vid
Netflix or something needs to pick up warhammer fantasy as an anime series
...I can't believe, that you tricked me so easily by having a thumb nail of Khalida Neferher (/Neferata) in your video 😀Would likely not have clicked on a End Times video otherwise 😀
In the next episode The most powerful character in Warhammer is now going to will himself back to life 😁😁😁
Okay GREAT job Kings and Generals … I mean @Wizards and Warriors… Anyone watching this and reading this I would love some recommendations of where to start reading Warhammer Fantasy books, I’ve heard the story of Vlad is EXTREMELY interesting but I am open to any ideas and suggestions! Thanks in advance and again, GREAT WORK! @Wizards and Warriors
Can someone explain to me how Vlad is alive and where the heck is Isabella? And why is Vlad helping the Empire. I AM SO CONFUSED. Never read the End times cause I only heard bad things about it.
Vlad is Lawful Evil. He doesn't want to see Chaos succeed just as much as the Empire.
When Nagash was revived he resurrected Vlad, and made him one of his Mortarchs and gave him the task of holding off Chaos while Nagash tried to achieve godhood by absorbing the wind of Shyish, and so Vlad went to aid the Empire, as for Isabella, she was not resurrected by Nagash but rather was possessed by a daemon of nurgle and lead a massive host that would fight the other undead in Sylvania.
I think everyone, from the very beginning of Warhammer, knew that the world was gonna end with the Skaven nuking the moon
So, the End Times look very... end. Is there an happy end or do chaos win? Are there books over it or where does the source come from?
The End Times is a series of five novels and miscellaneous short stories, detailing the End Times and the destruction of the Warhammer world.
Age of Sigmar > Warhammer Fantasy.
more more i need more!!
I wish this was tv show
I'm just confused as to why they blew up their own universe, I assumed they were still making money from it.
Not really. Due to years of failing sails GW decided to essentially end Fantasy and tried again with AoS. That said due to games like Total War and Vermintide interest doesn’t up and they started working on the Old World
