- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2018
- In the legends that swirl throughout the Old World, there persists rumors of a terribly powerful wizard known as the Lichemaster. One of the greatest Necromancers to have ever plagued the Warhammer Universe, the question remains of who is he exactly? What is the truth behind the myths of the madman that straddles loyalties between the Great Necromancer and the Dark Gods? Join me as we cast away the lies and reveal the lore of Heinrich Kemmler.

Krell:
Gee, Kemmler. What are we going to do tonight?
Kemmler:
The same thing we do every night, Krell. Try to take over the world.
Its so true.
I respect this pinky and the brain reference. Layers upon layers lol
Good joke Man
I would watch that every day
"Try"
Its always so cute when necromancers or vampires says things like "I surpash Nagash"
Sure buddy. Sure
Lol! Mannfred
Adorable, like a chihuahua sitting in front of a wawa...it's time for bed lmao
Nagash has too much plot armour BS.
Nagash is a little bitch who only wins because the plot demands it. Settra should have decapitated him and been victorious but no, Settra gets some bullshit loss because plot and wiped from the lore while Nagash gets to become a "good" guy and a god.
@@dominicmanester8125 Only reason Settra lost was because he got sand in his eye. Nagash just got lucky!
It was cool, but he seems to suffer from the same fate as Abaddon. He is an awesome villain, but they never let him win anything. Even when he outmatches them by a massive amount, the good guys have too much plot armor.
I'd love to play an entire Kemmler campaign, with Chaos units, listening to Rob Zombie from start to end. Why they didn't raise him to the glory he had in the Maisontaal is beyond me.
Truly a tragedy
Vampire counts in a nutshell, they are there to make the humans seem strong. Gets old real fucking fast. Some hero rises at the right moment......again. So many warhammer stories are setup like this only to end the same way. I want some more shit where the vamps win. I mean its the warhammer world. Its not like the good guy ALWAYS has to win. Unhappy endings would be a great change of pace. In my opinion at least (bar endtimes I mean)
@@k.t.1641 Uh... They do though lol. Hence chaos invasions
intel shill yeah, the only way you could possibly make it work is if the Empire was just in a constant state of flux where the Vampire Counts take over Stirland, Averland, and Ostermark and the Empire counter attacks over and over again.
One thing I do like about Heinrich Hemmler's battle strategy is that when an undead falls he just...like...reanimates them again? Without thoroughly established rules, the destruction of an undead being can feel very arbitrary. And while it is still is as the plot demands, it is nice to see things like "His power is so great, he can reanimate singular arms to lurch toward his opponents". So we can length the tenacity of his horde directly to his own situational power.
I mean who doesn't like edgy Gandalf and his bodyguard Krell the lord of BONE.
They’re like an evil parody of Gotrek and Felix. It’s no wonder he’s a reoccurring antagonist in the Slayers’ series.
Wait...
His dad just happened to have the legendary and scary Books of Nagash just tucked into his study drawers?
A poorly translated copy of one of the books.
Yours doesn’t?
I'm a dad and I have a copy.
Kemmler and Krell are like Team Rocket! ^^
I enjoy the images that this conjures.
which one is jessie and which one james, and is there meowth^^
@@thanquolrattenherz9665 The skull staff is definitely meowth.
more like team wocket 8(
Prepare for trouble!
And make it double!
To bring the world devastation.
To bring undeath within each nation.
To denounce the living, the air they breathe.
To steal all the bling, the dark sorcerers keep.
Kemmler & Krel
Team Kemmler raises the dead at the speed of light.
Now get ready to fight.
Some random crypt ghoul:
Argh! That's right!
I always wished Black Library had written a Warhammer Legends book about Kemmler as his history and exploits are really interesting.
I accidentally called him Heinrich Himmler while playing with a friend lmao
Heinrich Himmler = Heinrich Kemmler in total war. Helman Ghorst (total war world) = Herman Goering. Not a coincidence :) Sylvania is something like germany of total war world (Names, castles,..)
@@jakubmazur1576 I always found that kind of weird since the Empire should represent the German war machine while the Vampires are just the Balkans right?
@@Emperor_Atlantis Balkans? never thought of that haha. Empire is like germany, but also vampire counts to me. I mean even names of those castles - Drakenhof etc.
@@jakubmazur1576 well Vampires+to the east-->Dracula-->Romenia-->Balkans. That was my logic. Still you are right that Schwartzhafen is very german.
@@Emperor_Atlantis Fun fact: At one point there were 800.000 ethnic Germans living in Romania en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germans_of_Romania .Also, in ancient times, up till the middle ages, Northern Balkans and Eastern Europe ( west of Russia ) have often been settled or visited by Germanic tribes and peoples.
Great Video Soterk even higher Quality than normally. Also great use of sound effects and tone. Also great work Erik for giving extra focus on stock photos for the video to make the Video more exciting.
Also great self advertising
hands up those who spotted Krell all eigth times he peaked out
So you missed the ninth, huh?
Mischa what a madlad
Mischa oh got it’s mischa 😦
That is difficult when you only listen to the vid xD

Love all the effort you put in! It's good to see a new lengthy lore video.
awesome!! i was always curious about his history when someone mentioned his near devastation of bretonia, i hope i get to listen to that here!
So glad you did Kemmler, I couldn't find a good lore video on him anywhere. I just wish he was more viable in multiplayer...
My god I've missed these lore videos. You absolutely smashed it, please keep these coming!
Yes finally another legendary lord video! These are my favorite things you do. Can’t wait for the next one. Or maybe the Karak eight peaks series you teased at lol
Love all these videos so much... I got some new Bluetooth headphones for Christmas and basically haven't taken them off since then just cramming lore into my ears! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Wow never would've guessed that Kimler was a badass
Basically everyone with a name is a badass.
Kemmler, it's Kemmler, it's written right there for fuck's sake
@@CommissarMitch Even Manfred von carstein?
Ikr? I always found it interesting how he just bulldozed any magic user he came across. How he was no slouch in melee and was able to single-handedly defeat an army of his rivals using pure magic. Meanwhile in-game I lose every second battle when he's involved.
@@CommissarMitch what about Ghorst?
I honestly think that Kemmler's power is not very well represented in total war warhammer. Like hell he was second in power to Nagash!
When you think, alot of the TWW 1 villains don't live up to their lore which is a shame
Reggae Shark the best example is Mazdamundi. Granted it makes sense in that since otherwise he’d just solo everything.
@@TheRandomMuffinMan when a second generation slann is more powerful than the legendary lord of the faction
Yea, the cloak of mist should give the ability to "teleport" about 200m, so that he has a viable way to escape tricky situations
When I was a kid I would actually search around my local library for magic spellbooks because the library itself was built hundreds of years ago and looked like it must have something hidden away. To think if I had looked a bit harder I could have turned out like my boy Kemmler here.

Same...didn't found any good books so I became Snotling by the age of 30.
Excellent work sir. 👏
I adore your lore videos especially the most recent one. You truley are an amazing story teller, please please continue. (Mazdamundi or Krok-gar next perhaps)
One of my favourite characters! And still a great tabletop model. Well done sir you have done the lichemaster proud!
Most amazing to me is that supposedly humans could only learn 1 Lore of magic at the same time.
Only those who abandon their humanity (like becoming a vampire for instance) are able to break that boundary.
Yet Kemmler, who is still human, managed to learn both the Lore of Vampires and the Lore of Death.
No, humans can only use one wind of magic, not lore. Necromancy is dark magic, specifically the aspect of Dhar that relates to shyish, the wind of death.
This was great, you should make more of these lore videos.
It's a good day to be a fan of Warhammers Undead.
Great storytelling. Most lore videos are just tedious recitals of facts and discussion, but I love your narrative-driven approach. I found myself unable to stop listening!
Awesome! Since Krell was added, he's my fav LL in the setting.
Nice choice in music, Goetia is a really great track
Been watching a few videos here and there on your channel for the last few weeks, you now have another subscriber joining your undead horde good sir \o/
Please keep this series up, you are a great storyteller!
just wanted to say that i loved this video. i enjoy fantasy lore of several kinds. though for me it involves forgotten realms. i never watch videos of this lenght but i could not tear myself away from it. im watching Durthu next.
Kemmler is my favorite character in warhammer i think, I love vlad but Kemmler is just so mystifying and awesome.
@Loremaster_of_Sotek, wow, amazing video. I love long videos and this did it for me my god I miss watching/listening to videos while I do other things. Love it! Happy new Years!
YES, new lore video ... Now I know what I'm doing while drinking my evening tea
This is great to listen to in the background while playing the new Vampire Coast dlc!
SOTEK I was just thinking how I've been waiting for this video and here it is!😭 praise the old ones!
this was so epic! well done
Great lore vid and btw ive missed your lore vides on specific characters in warhamer fantasy
If the skullstaff warns kemmler of magic, why didn't he know about the good guys' magical "armour of greater plot"?
Wow, audio quality has certainly shot up since I last listened to you. Good work, mate.
my favorite character in warhammer fantasy. Thank you for the compelling story telling.
...I don’t think you’ve done the best boy: Kroq’gar?
Wait Kemmler had an Abyssal Terror made of ravens? Neat.
Amazing lore video, just adds to my desire to play him when the TWW2 update drops.
Loving the quality of the vídeos. Could you do na in depth vídeo on the chaos dwarfs ? thanks
He was a loved and cherished super villain that i couldnt use undead without him. I also wish they brought back the necrarchs. Vampires so steeped in magic and so evil in nature that they were some of the most dangerous and neferious vampires around. A shame that they faded from warhammer existence.
18:10 Please see the "Don't fuck with trees" section for more details.
Should do Vlad and/or Isabella von Carstein
Damn. I only knew him from the game where he sits alone in his tower surrounded by french guys and says weird stuff like:"Excuse the tomb breath."
I'm always like:"Eww, dude, wtf?".
Who would have thought that he was that powerful.
Kemmler to Gotrek and Felix:
"This is but a minor setback! I will return!"
Kemmler to himself:
"Shit shit shit shit! That dwarf's creaked!"
Love these videos dude!
excellent material - thank You!
during the battles section of this video I actually felt super sad/pissed about how they did the high elves and dwarfs. Like they were making progress on maybe becoming allies once again but than manfred had to go and fuck it up lmao
I want Kemmler in AoS now I found out about him. Holy he’s such a fantastic character, might have to dive into the computer game.
Heads up he has a pretty marginalized role in the game. IMO hes kind of an afterthought. Just a weird weird campaign.
Krell is my favorite character in the warhammer saga..
Wow, impressive. Great job!
Beautifully crafted video and lore content. Congrats on a new mic btw, your skill and content deserve it!
I would be very interested to see the moment Kemmler and Arkhan debated
Is that music from peter grundy? Great artist and choice for the vid !!
You have done well mortal but would you go further and list the possible army list for the Lichemaster?...As we have many possibilities...
Thank you for your hard work.
Well done sir best yet
Lores back! ❤
Now I know why Heinrich can summon Grave Guard in TWWH... I never knew before, I thought it was just balancing stuff. Btw. I really love these Lore videos. I really enjoy them and as a person that likes these types of lore together with LotR it's really entertaining
In base game you only get zombies, with a mod you get grave guard. Helman ghorst however does get guard by default
I always play kemmler as some kind of.. slightly less evil guy lol. He's a massive asshole I'm learning. I still like that he seems like the strongest non-vampire necromancer, since I think Nagash is technically one. Really glad they're making Krell a bit better, would be sweet if he got some kind of bound one use battlefield teleportation ability. Would be interesting to play with if he didn't get a mount.
"and slowing the effectiveness of his-- RATED M FOR MATURE!" - all joking about youtube ads aside, well done!
Sotek, since you mention it in relation to Kemmler, I'm having a hard time understanding the relation between "Dark Magic", Necromancy and Chaos.
As far as I know, Nagash learns Dark Magic from Dark Elf hostages long ago. This leads to his mastery of necromancy.
Kemmler seems to have power over Dark Magic too? But what is the relation between that and his necromancy?
I can fully understand why Chaos and Undeath are opposed to eachother, but where does Dark Magic come in? Is it the same as Chaos Magic?
I know Morathi used to be a Chaos-affiliated character to some extent, and she was the OG Dark magic user, right? So is this confusion the result of the lore-change which made Dark Elves less chaos-y?
I aint an expert but I think I might be able to help. so magic in the Warhammer world works by using the winds of magic as a sort of fuel. The winds of magic flow out of the chaos portals at the north and south poles. There are 8 different winds, each with their own school of magic dedicated to them. Necromancy is a dark magic, which means rather than sift though the winds looking for a specific one, say the fire wind to cast a fireball, the dark magic user just grabs whatever wind is nearby at the time. The Dark elfs use a different kind of dark magic, rather than sloppily grabbing magic in the heat of the moment, they crush and refine all winds of magic into one. Proper dark magic (Dhar) is similar to high magic in that it uses all winds, so I don't think mortal men can wield it, but necromancy and other makeshift magic schools are just saying screw it these winds will do. In conclusion everyone uses chaos magic, and necromancy is dark magic but isn't true dark magic like the Dhar of the dark elves. I think that's all correct, tho it wouldn't surprise me if I got a lot of it wrong
So what Cameron Mcindoe said but the form of Dark Magic that Necromancers use is stagnant magic. Basically, when magic from the various winds remains in the world for too long it gathers in various locations and mixes and sours. The use of this magic why most Necromancers have a warped appearance.
Also proper Chaos magic is pulled directly from the Realm of Chaos, usually through the sorcerer' soul. This is raw magic which is different from the Winds of Magic which occur because raw magic is forced to split into more stable forms due to the nature of the material realm.
Dark magic is magic based upon bending the discordant winds (and therefore chaos) to your will by force. Necromancy is one aspect of this, as are Skaven magic and beastmen magic. The dark elves have full mastery of this and that is dhar. Nagash mastered the aspects of it relating to the wind of death and that is Necromancy. Chaos magic is dhar, but in the aspect of a particular chaos God. So tzeentch magic takes aspects from the wind of heavens, the wind of fire, the wind of beasts Etc and bends them to the users will in the same way Necromancy does the lore of death. All magic is related in that it comes from the same source and all dark magic is related in that it uses the same methodology.
Young acolyte he took on in the Empire, Danakin.. Skywalker
I know that they are no leaders of armies but you have to do Gotrek & Felix next and then the wizard that use's light and chaos lore.
Great video, I’ve missed your Lore videos. Do you think we will ever see Nagash in TWW, and if so would Krell no longer serve Heinrich Kemmler but serve Nagash on the larger campaign scale?
i can guarantee you that nagash will be in ttw3. he is way too important to be left out
@@LaPunaisedu31 i feel like nagash could only be used as a final boss general with his undead army. Cuase otherwise he would be to op. Since all the vampires should in theory be his thralls and
TWW3 could add a sort of super unit for each faction, Nagash for the vampires, Valten for the Empire etc to give every faction an OP unit.
@@legatesteke maybe they could give us him but only in his weakened normal state and gave us work our way up to having him become a god. Because if you remember before he was not invincible OP as fuck but nothing Setra, Sigmar (pre godhood), and Alkadizar the second greatest priest king of all time all beat him. And I'm certain that at that point if her was to say try and go 1vs1 with any of the other greatest heroes, and magic users of the warhammer history he would either be evenly matched or out matched.
Heinrich Kemmler will switch sides
Mannfred and Ghorst have the option to join Chaos
Krell would become a Legendary Lord for the Undead
N'Kari is definitely going to be a LL for the Chaos Daemons
Karanok the Black (Kholek's father and the most powerful Dragon Ogre) is going to be present for game 3
I feel bad for the Empire, they are going to get crushed by the Chaos Alliance!
Great video Loremaster of Stotek
Great content, but it would be helpful for people who are not totally up on their Warhammer Lore if maybe there were more maps or visual descriptions of what you're talking about. While the background is fun, I think you're stories would be more engaging if there was more to look at during your talk. But other than that, it was a really interesting talk. I hope you'll do the other undead lords and the Lothern lords sometime soon as well! Great job!
Great work keep it up
It's adorable how you pronounced Dieter Hellsnicht. :D
Anyone know what the background music was for this vid? Thanks!
His death may be a bit comical but I much prefer how it was described here than the wiki page where it just says ''In a titanic magical duel Arkhan eventually proved the stronger and Kemmler was killed.''
At first I thought this was a Dresden Files video. Hmm, looks like Mr. Butcher might be a Warhammer fan.
Do you think you will be doing skaven anytime soon, specifically ol skrolky boy?.. ty
awesome video
Does anyone know the background song? I have been searching for it for a long time but did not find it anywhere...
Makes me wanna play ESO since they added archaeology as a way to discover super-powerful items.
So, a few things, great video, wish CA'ed commission you and Erik for announcements,
Kemmler sounds almost like a Mary Sue, just being given his powers, and now you got me hoping for a special Kemmler v Durthu trait
Krell is not Mary Sue, he has had his ass kicked at least four times in history.
@@RawCauliflowerMeant more that he seems to be just kind of getting his powers because.. Idunno, Deus Ex Machina?
@@AnthroTsuneon What powers? He was a northern king and a champion of chaos who probably received many gifts from the ruinous powers, just like any other chaos warrior. A short while after he was killed, he got resurrected as a powerful wight and still kept the same combat ability as he had in his previous life. He is just a thug with dark magic flowing through him and a powerful weapon, that is it.
@@RawCauliflowerIt appears, as I only notice with you starting about northern kings and chaos, I had mistaken the two K's in my fatigue and said Krell instead of Kemmler. Time for an edit to fix this
@@AnthroTsuneon Thank you. So now onto Kemmler himself, he was the first written character in Warhammer fantasy and design wise he may not look that impressive at first glance or have the most tragic backstory. However if you listened to his backstory he just increased his skill of necromancy over centuries, he is not some character who learns magic out of nowhere. Otherwise you could argue that Nagash is a Gary Sue.
Also a lot of his backstory is also based on "oldhammer" so you see him wield items like a chaos blade, even though no necromancer or vampire would wield anything chaos related if they were written over the last 10 years. I am not sure where the decision of chaos gods working with Kemmler came from, again feels like oldhammer.
also the style of the videos is awesome
Awesome upload Sotek! As are they all 👏👏👏
Great Video..
nice vid thx
Time to find this guy in the multiverse and feed him to Mother Tiamat.
This is....BRILLIANT!
Also do you think base on how he died. That he could come back as a demon on AoS?
Awesome, thanks
you should do a podcast on spotify
Gotrek vs Krell was an awesome fight
I can't believe they gave a that name to the character !!! He is probably friend with hodalf kottler
I'm drowning in content, but dammit if I don't want Kemmler to have Simulacra and his other special army units lol
You´re Amazing :D
Does anyone know what track is playing throughout the video?
I do like your vids but do you have a lore vlog on Nagash?
Is that necromancer related to the "Ploundered Vaults" book?
How could you leave neferata off the lists of necromancers who came close to nagash. She literally created the vampire races and she was the reason any of his tomes survived at all im pretty sure. Wouldn't even be any von carsteins if it wasnt for queen neferata
