    PLEASE NOTE: this is a PARTIAL campaign (partial campaigns always have [PARTIAL] in the name of the playlist). It ends just a couple episodes short of getting to the victory screen, but was _very_ close. Unfortunately, mod + game updates became incompatible and it became impossible to continue even with reverting to beta. Total episodes: 57
    The partial campaigns were: Malus, Snikch, Imrik.
    Timestamps:
    Skip intro spiel - 3:58
    Gameplay start - 5:38

    7:28 As I recall, in the Darkblade comics, every time Tz'arkan started whispering into Darkblade's mind Darkblade would tell the daemon to shut up. Usually in those precise words - which is a pretty ballsy thing to say to a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh. Then again, Darkblade generally has zero fucks to give.
    44:28 Which is probably why they're so ornately dressed, to be honest.

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      It was the same in the books - as I understood it telling it to shut up was a part of Malus trying to assert his own will and maintain sanity.
      Haha, good point re lowborn overdressing to compensate!

    If malus got rid of that weird ass wing on his right shoulder his armour would be fucking perfect.

      It looks a lot worse here than in the book art for some reason. Could be the purple-ification.

  • @thyrussendria8198

    Little piece of advice for Malus' possession: Instead of turning Malus into Tz'arkan, but instead replaces Malus with the Daemon, resetting his health to max, I am unsure however if the same applies to any buffs and debuffs he is affected by. It is basically a good ability to pop when you are close to winning or if Malus is in big trouble

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      Yeah, I noticed that when he got damaged there. It seems like it is best to duel with him until he gets hurt and then panic-activate daemonpower. Basically what he does in the books anyway.

    The old man (narrator) all but promises to betray Malus, lol.

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      He is the most untrustworthy narrator, haha. Doesn't work out too well for him when Tzeentch comes to play, though, I doubt Khaine/Slaanesh are going to be much different.

    Buff Malus replenishment! It’s very important to offset the replenishment loss of being possessed

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      Good call! I tend to spam buff replenishment on every lord I can, fortunately, as I have a tendency to never build siege and take unnecessary casualties to save turns.

    Ah, the Dark Elves, pretty much the only Warhammer race that I can't really attribute a real world culture to, for most of the races have somewhat clear real world influence.
    Empire: HRE Germany
    Bretonnia: Arthurian Legend/Post William the Conquerer Britain
    Dwarves: Scots
    Norsca: Vikings
    Wood Elves: Militant Hippies
    High Elves: Atlantis?
    Vampires: Multiple
    Tomb Kings: Ancient Egypt (duh)
    Lizardmen: Atztecs, Inca, Maya etc.
    Chaos: Vikings and demonology.

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад

      Atlantis is about right for Elves I think. Between their gods and a bunch of lands in Ulthuan having the same names as Greek territories, they seem to be Classical Greece. Plus a bit of that Hedonism. Dark Elves just seem like a rebellious analogue (maybe with some Norse lore Dark/Light elves thrown in).
      I have heard of the theory that High Elves are the post-colonial British Empire and the Dark Elves are the US - but that's more of a historical thing and has no relation to culture.
      The Skaven kind of stump me more than anything re culture.

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      Vect feels a bit more like Malus than like Malekith, I feel. He's got enough sass to match Tz'arkan and went from lowborn nothing to ruler of Commoragh.
      I wish for the reverse - Dark Elves should have an equivalent of Drazhar.

    • @hydradominatus3661
      @hydradominatus3661 4 года назад +1

      RuinousInsight isn’t Tullaris the fantasy equivalent of drazhar tho

    • @RuinousInsight
      @RuinousInsight  4 года назад +1

      @@hydradominatus3661 Yep! But it's not the 'master of blades' thing that they both have going that intrigues me, it's the mystery. Tullaris is just some guy. A fanatic, and lethal, to be sure, but not really a puzzle. Conversely, nobody knows exactly who or what Drazhar is - and if he was in fact the Fallen Phoenix, he's effectively immortal and one of the oldest (living?) beings in the galaxy. It means he likely existed before the Fall, and we have no way of knowing for how long (the ancient Aeldari being somewhere between long live and immortal in the first place). At least 10-15,000 years (and not warp years, either). The multiple references to his armor possibly being empty may also indicate that unlike all the other Phoenix Lords, he hasn't been repeatedly killed and reborn in other exarchs wearing their armor.

    • @hydradominatus3661
      @hydradominatus3661 4 года назад +1

      RuinousInsight hmm I see. Well if we’re talking about mystery then maybe shadowblade could be fantasy drazhar since no one really knows who shadowblade is.
