As a American born Chinese, I think it may be offensive to the symbolism. Since they are usually depicted as Guardians. Don’t quote me though. Probably just wrong tbh.
I thinks it’s weird that the Jade and Jet lion aren’t like tomb king constructs, imagine seeing your ‘guardian lion’ made of literal rock run away in fear.
Well both empire actually exist at the same time, Grand Cathay didn’t went extinct while the Tomb Kings empire went undead so not surprising those 2 units look like Tomb King units.
@@Alex-pj8nz it’s less about them looking alike, more that they shouldn’t run away and should crumble or be unbreakable due to the fact they’re made of stone.
@@Alex-pj8nz That's exactly GamblingGator's point. The magic should be more similar in game, the lions *should* have the construct tag like the Tomb Kings stuff, but they don't currently
I will concede one thing: The Jade & Jet Lion's idle animations look pretty cool. Not to mention lowkey spooky due to how stiff they are, which makes sense since they're statues.
Seems a bit weird that it's counted as a monster and not a construct though, it looks like it can even route by its unit card. CA always seems confused on where constructs should land leadership wise, rogue idol used to route but was made unbreakable to match the terracotta sentinel, now this guy isnt, chaos dwarf constructs are unbreakable till 25% then they're demons? Tomb kings crumble like undead... It's hard to keep track
@@cryptosporidium01 the point is, Cathay has an unbreakable construct and now two that route. It would make more sense if the guardian lion was unbreakable too. It only has 5k hp after all.
This. I personally don't care about everything not Cathay related, so paying almost 30 dollars for a Legendary lord and three units is simply not justifiable lmao
@@yorickvlt1021And even if you cared about the other content, the price is still ridiculous. This is clearly CA trying to squeeze as much profit out of this as they can. It doesn't matter if sales are lower, as long as profit is higher.
@@SunlessSage It's kinda nuts that a lord pack costs nearly half the game's price + as much as a faction pack, especially when said faction had less overall content compared to previous ones. (Granted that this is the largest lord pack released so far with 12 ish units + 5 legendary lords/heroes, not counting RoR reskins) It feels like every1 is just upping prices cuz every1 else is, though their newest Legendary Lord designs + campaign mechanics are always improving :S
@@zytoxiq I don't mind a small price increase. It's indeed obvious that this pack has more content than other similar packs, and life as a whole has become more expensive. However, this price increase is too far imo. I'd rather keep my money for when Baldur's Gate 3 releases on PS5 rather than spend part of it on an overpriced DLC.
@@zytoxiq I think if it were 16€ to maybe 20€ it wouldnt be quite as bad. The big problem is how they price it the same as the chaos dwarves, which was already more expensive than previous race-packs. Even if anything here looks cool and useful, previously they added cool new mechanics and units as well (more units and characters relative to each faction, actually), but now they put 10€ to 7€ on top of what could be the reasonble price.
Ostankya has Shadow and Beast passives and flock of doom while being basically a massive damage skirmish chariot? Wow she actually sounds really strong!
The changeling looks like he could be fun , especially with the trolling scribes and the randomness but 25$ is just hell no. It's not a matter of money for me, i can afford it, but if we keep buying these low content overpriced dlcs we will end up with 90$ games with 5 dlcs that each will cost like 40-50$ and personally i don't want that.

@@Crucial_End We shouldnt have just one or the other. For that price, generic heroes for all as well as these units (maybe a few more) SHOULD all be included. Still it adds nothing close to the ammount that the chaos dwarfs added in units and characters, while charging the same price.
Hey Zerkovich, I think you do a great job when rating these abilities! Just want to mention that in a lot of the cases of the regiment of renown units, they don't actually have better stats than the other units, they are just always max EXP units. While it's nice to see how strong each of the units could be once they fully level up, I think it's important to make those distinctions in the video. A quick way to compare the two is to show the regular and RoR variants together when doing unit selection in multiplayer screen and manually leveling up the regular unit in that place. Thanks again for the content 👏!
Kislev definitely has my favorite units here with this DLC. I absolutely love the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts! It looks like a giant Wendigo and I'm all for it!
i think the crowmen are gonna be amazing for defending the ballons a lot easier. also if you turn into a dragon child can you still transform into dragon for as the changeling?
Hybrid lord with the abylity to fly that also gets the abylity to deal up to 20% damage to any lord or hero in the game is a great way to get a hybrid lord that can beat up deadicated melee lords
I agree they look cool but they don't look like units from an "order" faction. These look like they should be part of the Norscan faction not a human based Kislev faction.
the bet thing about these DLC that this point is that for kislev and cathey, most of the units are their entirely new creations, never made into miniatures by games workshop
@@MrBlueSleeves his post was that they were 'entirely new creations' they are not. they existed before. and the Elemental of Beasts was a Beastman unit before Kislev. Both even had miniatures too.
@@MrBlueSleeves Words convey meaning. His meaning was wrong, simple as. Monsterous arcanum, the Forgeworld book which introduced the Elemental of Beasts indicated it was primarily summoned by Beastmen and very few others. If i recall, it also had some rules that the Beastmen had, but it's been a long time.
Lots of great info, thanks! Love the Kislev additions in particular, aside from the Hag Witch. Really fleshes out possible playstyles for them. Mutalith looks great ingame too, better than the trailer ironically.
The aesthetics of the new Kislev units are great, it's a faction I never really gelled with but these new monsters look sick especially the incarnate. Would be good fun to get them as an allied/vassal recruit as vampire counts I think for stacking mortis fun
This might change in the finals release but as of right now Tzangors and the Incarnate of Beasts can actually be used by Beastmen in multiplayer, presumably they will be recruitable in campaign as well.
I was expecting Tzaangors to the equivalent of Bestigor Herd, but with shields. Instead, they gor barrier and way more armour than Gor Herd (shields) but with lower MD and HP. Gotta test what is the better frontline for beastmen now.
It's nice they added a new tier to the three unit tiers, making it four. Even as an experienced player there are some races I'm not familiar with, and it helps to gauge how threatening an unknown unit is at a glance.
Kinda missed the fact that Cathay also has a bunch of Fire Rain Rocket unit options, which means that you could use the Jade Lion to pin enemy infantry for you to smash with the rockets
11:15 that dude definitely works out to maintain those abs. Imagine you're a hunter poaching game in the forests of Kislev. You turn a corner and see this guy using a tree as a pull-up bar.
Didn't expect the Cockatrice to show up. If they don't have a blurb where Greasus declares that he'll never eat one of these ever again, I'm undoing my pre-order.
So, now we have Baba Yaga? Hell yeah. If they add One-eyed Likho, Zmey Gorynich and Brick stove oven as a mount, I will cry with tears of mythological joy. For Mother Ostankya they should have given her flying mortar and pestle, for a better immersion. Or even a Hut on the chicken legs - as an epic mount, or as unique monster.
Yuan Bo is going to be the next one man doomstack. Human/Dragon form with Net of Amontok & Comet of Cassandora which is possibly the most powerful bombardment spell outside of Ikits nuke. The kills that guy will get will be insane
Sortof surprised the crowmen don't have stalk. They hyped up this unit as a sneaky spy unit only to give it the ability to detect other stalking units better. I think a hero version would have been better.
@@tau-5794 the ability to detect stalking units is way less valuable as unit ability than stalk. There's no reason why they couldn't do both. My point is the unit is just meh. Basically just chaos furies or harpies with a slightly different visual appearance and a very niche ability with not very much actual utility.
The Tzaangors and Elemental of Beasts is also available for the Beastmen roster. Which made me very happy (although the beastmen are not lacking in single entity monsters, the Elemental beast is a powerhouse who is always welcome!)
The Cockatrice is an amazing anti Cav for ranged units. Cav running up at you but in range of troops? Poison slow +passive slow. 1 big model, so it will take less from friendly fire.
I was kinda hoping for new infantrymen for Kislev and Cathay for extra flavor , Tzaangors weren't really needed but I like the addition hopefully they will give them to other god's factions as well (Slaangors etc)
@@theironqueen2386 yes true a can I believe confirm that beastmen can recruit elemental but cannot recruit cocktrice milkandcookies said it in the mother's vs beastmen vid
Great models as always and some of these seem interesting from a gameplay perspective - that said, I'll definitely hold off until the DLC is at an even remotely acceptable price point.
I really like all units I see here, but for that price we really should have gotten hero and lord options for all factions involved. Even then, some more units would help justify that premium price.
I am not surprised if some units will be buffed (such as the Tomb Kings' Carrion), while others might be altered or even nerfed (such as the Changeling). But seriously, I like Total War, because it has "totally changed" Warhammer into an epic world.
I wish they made that hammer a bit smaller. I mean I know this is fantasy but to lift that thing you'd either have to make it out of cardboard or make it hollow. Hammers are all about getting dense material into a small area.
i get that in theory this is a lot of content, but kislev and cathay really are the ones who really needed variety in the frontlines not just more niece pics. i love the asthetic of the kislev units esp. but they just dont fit well with the theme of the rest of the army. if this dlc had added more to just those two factions i would be much happier than an average dlc for three
Something to note, the Jet Lion is Yin rather than Yang, so if you want to send your Jade Longma into the enemy backline, just send a Jet Lion alongside them and they'll maintain the yin yang bonuses.
Does the changeling when he changes into other lords, get mounts or anything? For example if he became Count Noctilus, can he get Roth's Moondial and the Necrofex Colossus mount? Or Franz with Deathclaw?
spirit bear is so unbelievably goofy it kind of goes full-circle into being cool
huh?
I like the part where it just completely missed its target. Cool ability. Very useful.
I fucking love its goofy swim and I unironically think it’s badaass too ahahah
I cant say I share your enthusiasm for this DLC pack

The hags might be my new favorite lord for Kislev... :D
the cocatice is a kind of sneaky sige attacker. aside from that its a manticure with protos shield
6:45 that animation is hilarious, like a kid who doesn't wanna take a bath and Mother Ostankya was like "you get in there this instant, young man!"
I can’t wait to buy the dlc. On sale
I am not surprised if some units will be buffed (such as the Tomb Kings' Carrion), while others might be altered or even nerfed (such as the Changeling).
But seriously, I like Total War, because it has "totally changed" Warhammer into an epic world.
Damn. 700 for the Kislev Wendigoes. We’re gonna be seeing a lot of those guys
I think the wolves will be used as a undead counter
I wish they made that hammer a bit smaller. I mean I know this is fantasy but to lift that thing you'd either have to make it out of cardboard or make it hollow. Hammers are all about getting dense material into a small area.
Anyone notice the tier icon color is swapped between 2 and 3?
I am sad to see that we didn't get more Snow cat units
wait the unit type description for the things in the woods is things in the wood? how very informative
Probably going to have to update this once 4.2 comes out
I will surely buy the dlc, if the price drops...( only dlc I paid full price so far were chorfs)
1:10
He's like "Who's a good hammer? Yes you are!"
Hope we get to see some more Regiments of renown in the expansion
Does anyone else notice the Celestial General's giant hammer starts to jiggle when he touches it in his idle animation @ 1:10 🤨
i get that in theory this is a lot of content, but kislev and cathay really are the ones who really needed variety in the frontlines not just more niece pics. i love the asthetic of the kislev units esp. but they just dont fit well with the theme of the rest of the army. if this dlc had added more to just those two factions i would be much happier than an average dlc for three
Omg the spirit bear animation LOL
Drama aside, all of these units look so fucking good.
Props to the people that made the models.
I’m not going to lie those Jade lions a damn well adorable.
Something to note, the Jet Lion is Yin rather than Yang, so if you want to send your Jade Longma into the enemy backline, just send a Jet Lion alongside them and they'll maintain the yin yang bonuses.
Should make the Crowmen Yin too if Yin melee units are going to be a thing. They're literally made from Yin magic.
I'm happy they added new tiers I hated that there were only 3 tiers.
Does the changeling when he changes into other lords, get mounts or anything? For example if he became Count Noctilus, can he get Roth's Moondial and the Necrofex Colossus mount? Or Franz with Deathclaw?
