19:09 Funny thing about this creature, it is called the beast of nurgle, and is actually a jolly creature, seeing everything smaller then it as a pet, and goes in for a big hug. What it does not know, however, is that its skin is absolutley fatal to any being, so it does not know the creature it hugs, is dying in agony. Ones this happens, it gets sad, and moves on to find a new pet to hug to death.
Nurgle might or might not be my favorite chaos god, I don't know. However the daemons of Nurgle are absolutely my favorite. While his mortal followers are usually fearful cowardly beings, the daemons take so much delight in life and experience so much joy in sharing that life, even if you don't want it.
I actually had a dog as a child that did something similar. We had these hug rats that came into the yard, and the dog though they were his best buddies. He would play with them, which usually involved grabbing them and tossing them around. He didn't not understand that as they were much smaller than himself, they could not survive his rough play. He get confused and sad when they died and would go find another one. Of course he was killing rats, so we hardly minded.
The fact they not only named the Godslayer Daniel, but also used that name in the trailer in a totally serious way, is just one of the reasons I love CA. Embrace the Chaos, embrace the memes.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I chocked on my tea when I saw my name there, but yes I totally agree I am a terrifying demon (when someone hides the snaps)
the part at 3:42 sent shockwaves through the warhammer community, due to the map you see it was the first hint that they were making Grand Cathay a fully fledged faction as they have been nothing but half baked lore for 30+ years. That is why the adviser has the smirk on his face as CA knew exactly what they were doing
There are four gods, knowledge that should never be learned, rage that should never be unleashed, life that should never be preserved, and ecstasy... that should NEVER be felt.
While Nurgle is super gross, you have to remember that out of all the Chaos Gods, he cares the most about his followers. Also the mutations and diseases his daemons and followers gain, they are super tanky, live a lot longer than usual and most feel no Pain. There are plenty of stories of people Disemboweling a Chaos warrior of Nurgle and they pause for a second with a look of "That's all you got?" before still keep fighting
ngl, I personally would choose Khorne. Rage is easy enough to come by, honor much less so. A god who offers both and glorious combat, who will never lie to you? (Cue Rick and Morty meme)
Trailers are character-driven because they show us our faction leaders and their motives and agendas. When you play, however, you play as a whole faction, not just that one character. There is a lot of story in the game via different quests and missions. Ultimately you are the author of your hero's story. You are leading them in battles and making difficult decisions. Trailers show like an introduction to them but it is you (the player) who writes their legend throughout the campaign. These lords and heroes gain different traits that define their personalities. For example, you execute captives after battle your lord will get the executioner trait and enemies will be afraid of him. You are present in cities when new buildings are finished you get builder trait and new buildings are cheaper...etc. It is still a very character-driven game even tho it may not look like it :)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the motto of the game is will you conquer your daemons or command them? And if you choose to command them who will really be in charge? For the gods and their children are cruel, and they always have their payment.
The reason the daemon prince calls himself the god slayer is because, as a mortal, he shot and killed the bear god of Kislev in this games very prologue story.
Tzeench’s forces may not seem like much, but there are few armies that are scarier in pure magical power, and they’re the true masters of the Winds of Magic. Also, little fun note: that massive jagged structure in the second trailer at the end is the Brass Citadel, the dwelling of Khorne and illuminated high above it is the Blood God himself, the first true depiction of him in media. The Ogres were originally meant to be the perfect species to completely resist the powers of Chaos as they were being designed by the Old Ones (The same beings that the Lizardmen worship and seek out and original owners of the world), but at the coming of the Great Cataclysm and the Collapse of the Polar gates (Portals the Old ones used for travel), The sudden arrival of Chaos throughout the ruined gates forced The Old Ones to flee and leave their ultimate creations unfinished, and so the Ogres began to develop as they are now, alongside many other events which affected them into the beings they are now. The Ogre Kingdom lore is actually quite neat and worth looking into, although that can easily be said for every single Warhammer faction, as they’re isn’t a single bad or boring faction amongst the universe really!!! XD
Some context regarding the two playable human factions in the game: Kislev: a pan-Slavic fantasy nation primarily inspired by Poland and Russia. They are the northeastern neighbors of the Empire of Man and directly border Chaos-worshipping factions. They're often the first line of defense against Chaos invasions from the north and as such are a people hardened by frequent conflict and death. They worship a pantheon of gods, the chief of which is Ursun (the bear god/ice god). Currently, there is political turmoil between Tzarina Katarin (ruler of Kislev & ice witch) and Kostaltyn, the leader of The Great Orthodoxy (Kislev's religious body) after the death of Katarin's father Tzar Boris. Cathay: fantasy China, ruled by the Celestial Dragon Emperor, his wife (the Moon Dragon), and their children. It's the largest empire in the setting and until recently was only a minor footnote in the setting. We still don't know a lot about it as they've only just begun creating lore for it and its characters but the Empire is divided up between the dragon children, each of whom are associated with one of the major lores of magic. The two we see in the trailers are Miao Ying (the storm dragon) and her Brother Zhao Ming (the iron dragon). The Chaos god most interested in Cathay, and thus their biggest threat, is Tzeentch, as he sees their cultural and religious focus on harmony and order as a challenge.
@@Olochgu Yes. One of them is unaligned from what we've heard from Andy Hall. whether they have a lore of magic or multiple lores, turned to chaos, etc we don't know.
@@heitorpedrodegodoi5646 well most of them can't be dead because 5 of the 9 are present and acounted for in Cathay, each ruling over cathayan provinces (North, East, South, West and Central) There is also the youngest one )that is the main object of the campaign) who ventured north and is currently missing but implied to be alive. There are two that we know nothing about and the last one is the spirit dragon, who might be dead or might just be sleeping beneath cathay. (but you can actually see that one when you use the summon ancestors spell)

Oh man you guys are so vanilla I just love it. It's really refreshing seeing someone react so confused , scared , disgusted by common warhammer stuff. I've always wondered how commoners feel about video games and warhammer and etc. so I just love watching you guys react to things :)
I'am just going to leave this little info here: Legendary characters in these trailers: KISLEV LEGENDARY LORDS: TZARINA KATARIN: Ascending to the throne and crown in the wake of her father’s bloody death fighting against the hordes of Chaos, Katarin has wasted no time cementing her grip upon Kislev. She is, in every way, a totalitarian ruler. She is stern and unflinching and will readily have rivals removed by agents of the crown if she cannot win them over with cold reason. The base of Katarin’s power, beyond hereditary right, is her extraordinary magical prowess. She is the greatest Ice Witch for generations, capable of magical feats more deadly and devastating than any other Ice Witch in Kislev. SUPREME PATRIARCH KOSTALTYN: Kostaltyn is the Supreme Patriarch of the Ursunite Cult and as the highest ranking clergy in the nation, the de facto leader of the Grand Orthodoxy. With wild hair, wilder eyes, and wither-thin limbs, Kostaltyn is a ghoulish figure, robed in the finery of the resurgent Ursunite faith. He is a howling, angry firebrand, screaming furious rhetoric at the enemy and urging the warriors around him to fight on with a fearful mixture of encouragement and threat. For he is himself fearless, able to recover from any wound quickly and thus inspire his flock to run pell-mell at foes that any sane person would flee! With complete control of the faith that binds Kislev together, Kostaltyn whips his followers into a holy fervour. He despises the machinations of the Tzarina and her Ice Court and considers them usurpers and magic-wielding heretics. KHORNE LEGENDARY LORD: SKARBRAND: The Bloodthirster Skarbrand was once the greatest of all Khorne’s Daemons. No other had piled so many skulls before the Skull Throne. One dark day, Skarbrand’s fierce pride grew hot and, blinded by rage, he smote the Blood God a mighty blow. Incandescent with wrath, Khorne cursed Skarbrand’s name and choked all personality from him, leaving only the bottomless rage that had caused him to attack. Since that fateful day, Skarbrand has wandered the mortal and immortal realms, drowning his sins in the blood of the slain - though he no longer has the wit to fully understand why. GRAND CATHAY LEGENDARY LORDS: MIAO YING, THE STORM DRAGON: Miao Ying believes herself to be the strongest Dragon sibling, and lords her power and position of authority as protector of the Great Bastion over her brothers and sisters. Despite her earned arrogance, she is well-aware of the significance of the task laid at her feet to protect Grand Cathay from the hordes of Chaos to the North. The constant scheming of the mortal lords of Nan-Gau, her capital and unconquerable home, does not make it any easier. ZHAO MING, THE IRON DRAGON: Ruler of the Western Provinces, the Iron Dragon is seen as a much more down-to-earth ruler and commander than his sister. Zhao Ming commands loyalty through comradeship, as well as his creation and use of powerful artifacts and magic items. He is one of the Empire’s premier alchemists and welcomes the same within his realm - much to the chagrin of some of his siblings. Proximity to the Warpstone Desert and the Great Maw, still seeping with the destructive magic that created it, has led some to believe his mind is beginning to unravel. This would certainly explain some of the odd tendencies and decisions he makes, but it is still far from anything approaching insurrection or dangerous to Grand Cathay. While less favoured than his sister by the Celestial Dragon, their mother, the Moon Empress, has a soft spot for Zhao Ming. TZEENTCH LEGENDARY LORD: KAIROS FATEWEAVER: Kairos can see things that are hidden even to Tzeentch. His right head sees possible futures as clear as day. No scheme is hidden from its sight and the infinite possibilities of tomorrow crystallise into irrefutable fact. Kairos’ left head sees the past without the petty colourations of perspective and bias. Valuable as this vision is, it comes with a heavy cost. Both of Kairos’ heads are blind to the present; he cannot see time as it passes - only events that are to come or whose time has already lapsed. OGRE KINGDOMS LEGENDARY LORDS: GREASUS GOLDTOOTH: Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese was one of many whelps sired by the infamous Gofg, Tyrant of the Goldtooth tribe. Like his brothers, Greasus grew up to become strong and fat. Unlike his brothers, he killed and ate his own father. As word spread of such prodigious deeds, many Tyrants decided to join the ruthless new leader of the Goldtooth tribe and soon, once again, the Ogre Kingdoms had an Overtyrant. These days, grown older, larger, louder and richer than ever, Goldtooth’s coffers fill faster than his Gnoblars can count. Yet Greasus’ rampant success has not diminished his greed, or his all-consuming desire to conquer everything he sees. As the fattest lad around, Greasus rolls into battle on a custom-made, gnoblar-pushed cart stuffed with gold, gems, and plunder. The glory of being too rich to walk, writ large across the faces of his enemies. His iconic scepter is used equally to steer and smash skulls, while he is always chewing on a massive leg of meat, or equally using it to scratch himself. He is an inspiration and a hero to all Ogres, and a terror to fight on the battlefield. SKRAG THE SLAUGHTERER: Skrag is the legendary Prophet of the Great Maw, also known as the Gore-Harvester and the Maw-that-Walks. Dragging his massive meat-pot behind him - attached to his back with a series of painful, tearing hooks and chains - Skrag hacks and rips at his enemies in a glorious blood-fuelled dedication to the Great Maw. In his wake, he leaves a trail of dismembered limbs and body parts, which it is the duty of his Gore-Gnoblars to retrieve and deposit into his cauldron. His history is as sad as it is brutal, brought to his current sorry state by a Tyrant to whom he fed the wrong Gnoblar. However, the punishment only connected Skrag more to the Great Maw, making him one of the most powerful Gut Magic wielders in the world. NURGLE LEGENDARY LORD: KU’GATH PLAGUEFATHER: Whilst other Great Unclean Ones work to spread the plagues already extant, Ku’gath, the Plaguefather, is fascinated by the breeding of new and virulent life. Ku’gath aims to one day breed a contagion that can infect the Gods themselves. The Plaguefather rides upon a massive palanquin bedecked with alchemical paraphernalia: vials full of seething powder, flasks of indescribable liquid and hessian sacks stuffed to bursting with Nurglings. This great bulk is held aloft by a carpet of straining Nurglings, and Ku’gath is attended on by countless others, all bred from the Plaguefather’s pox vats. SLAANESH LEGENDARY LORD: N’KARI: N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, is a notorious and ancient Keeper of Secrets that scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form. Over recent millennia he has developed a hatred for the Elven twins of Ulthuan, and whatever his short-term goals, the next part of the plan will surely involve their eternal misery. I know this is very long, but hey at least you know somthing about these cool characters! :D ( havent included the ones that are not in the reaction like boris or belakor! )
Especially because the content creators are already streaming for weeks it felt a lot longer than it actually was... Also Tzeentch will definitely my first campaign :)
All this chaos stuff reminds me of that Azeriah Kyras speech. A little short for a reaction but a video on the best quotes from this or that series would be interesting.
I'm so excited for this game, I'm preloading it on Steam right now, and I think it unlocks at midnight! Warhammer Total War games are somewhat character driven, the characters are the generals that lead your armies, and specialists called heroes that can join the battles and do a variety of espionage tactics on the campaign map. It's so much fun, I can't recommend it enough if you like strategy games.
Where you from? There's a release map for times around the world. If you tell me what country you live in I could tell you when it releases tomorrow for you :D
@@KhasAdun1990 If you have TWW 1 and 2 you'll be able to play on TWW 1 and 2 maps merged with the TWW 3 map in a massive worldwide map. Or at least you'll be able to in a later date. Also any DLC you purchased for TWW 1 and 2 will be transferred to TWW 3 and you'll be able to play with the factions you paid for without any extra charge. Probably the biggest Total War game ever made. It's going to be insane.
Probably Nurgle he is the only one out of the chaos gods that cares about his followers, you may look rotting and bloated but as his demon you don't notice or feel the changes going through you
Thats why i love nurgle so much. At first when you look at his followers you feel repulse and disgusted but the more you go in chaos lore the more you realize that he is by far the most reasonable and pleasant chaos god to live under. Under nurgle your body might change but you keep your sanity. You will never feel pain or discomfort but instead you will feel a never ending feeling of bliss and satisfaction paying no mind to your (presumably) disgustingly resilient exterior.
I play the ogres song when I'm cooking! lol! The monsters you saw were the champions of Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch (Zeen-tch) and Khorne and the one fighting was the Ice Queen Tzarina Katarin herself!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames 🎼Oh Ogres, Ogres chompin' on meats! Fillin' our guts with our strugglin' treats Tearing, chewing we kill for the maw The power and grubs what we doin' it for!!🎼
There got a new Trailer released today. Are you guys making a new video about the dlc trailers if there are some more videos released? I really like the videos you’re making
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames They're are going to be 4 trailers in total + 4 short developer walkthrough of the four new Characters. To advertise the dlc pack alongside the full launch of Immortal Empires on Aug 23. Immortal Empires is the combined map that incorporates the older factions into warhammer 3. Not including the 4 characters you have not seen the Trailers for "Sons of Kislev" & Immortal Empires announcement trailer. They may possibly have a final trailer for the launch but that's just guessing. At time of post we have had 3 character trailers and should have the final champion revealed in a week.
Out of these new ones I like the Daemon Prince the best. I like all the chaos gods depending on the mood so a character whos faction can choose any and all is perfect. I also generally like the more traditional gargoyle look of the daemon princes in Warhammer so thats perfect. What I'm really looking forward to is what they'll add in the future with DLCs. The daemons got some pretty cool upgrades in the Age of Sigmar reboot of the franchise so it would be really interesting to see if they'll embrace some of the more unique daemons that came from it, especially slaanesh who got Glutos Orscollion, a big chariot mini-palace drawn by big clawn-armed men with a gluttonous half daemon man on top, Slaanesh followers in general got a huge upgrade in Age of Sigmar with their faction "Hedonites of Slaanesh".
They did say they don't plan on AoS unit, but the models were A-Okay, though so. Also there is not enough stuff for all the Mono-gods if they don't add some AoS type units. I what my hammer chains for Khorne.
@@singularleaf3895 I have heard that they said that aswell, but the context would be important for that quote. Because of course they won't add those weird insectoid skeletons or the golden space marine-like humans. But daemons aren't new to the age of sigmar, some like Sigvald changed but normal daemons in theory wouldn't be any different so I think they can get away with alot more of it. They pretty much already have with the Keeper of Secrets, they didn't use to look like that in warhammer fantasy, they have the age of sigmar look in the game, so the doors are open.
We were confused how the Daemon Prince worked. If that was the main protagonist in this or an avatar representation of the player. But Daniel did indeed look extremely badass 🤩
26:00 With regards to your explanation, think less Risk and more chess where your Queen and King have names. You can get invested in specific units who have names, by naming the generic units, and by outfitting them with wargear and banners. I remember in Warhammer 2 I renamed a unit of Dwarf Rangers after they kept getting the drop on enemy Lords (army leaders), specifically wizards. They went from just some Rangers with axes I got on a whim to Ograk's Hunters (after a DND character of mine), who I would always use to take care of the accursed wizards. After a brutal battle left them dead, I would rename their successors in their honor as Ograk's Bearers. Or in another campaign, as Bretonnia, I named each leveled (as units can level-up) unit of knights after a properly Frankish name and their greatest kill (shouts out to Jean de Luc's Dragonslayers, a unit of Pegasus Knights who did the impossible). You can always play the game without this level of roleplay/attachment, but I've never enjoyed Total War as just a numbers game.
I have come to appreciate you nerds. I play with themed armies, but never rp to that level. It sounds quite intriguing. I've known about the renaming system for ages, but I don't know if I can handle losing a unit like that. I save scum XCOM2.
I'm surprised you didn't like Nurgle - who wouldn't want to serve Papa Nurgle and spread his gifts on the battlefield whilst your personal nurgling chews and sucks your weeping boils? In the end, we're all fodder for maggots...
One thing you should take into consideration is 2020 was the year of Nurgle, and this only was able to happen because of his chosen champion who was in power in a place called The White House. And if you don't believe me that this person was chosen Champion remember he was afflicted with the plague and he said that his God blessed him. Only a true power of the plague father would say something like that
Your point that the trailers focus on character driven narrative vs mechanics based strategy is a good one! There is an incredible amount of character driven interaction that makes each faction/sub-faction feel unique. So in a sense it’s a bit of both! You should be somewhat invested in the faction leader and as you play it’s easy to grow attached to the individual units that survive and improve throughout each fight. The best campaigns generally double down on this. When you play as Broken-Axe, you’re quite literally cooking with Grom. Collecting ingredients and making meals is the goal, and cooking directly impacts how your army fights on the battlefield. so you’re always engaging with Grom and his cauldron mechanically and thus interacting with his character at the same time! A cool system for sure
I love how shocked when you saw the warp, it's a place filled with madness tbh, it makes anything of horror of what our minds could concept. Really pale in comparison especially when it comes to how creative She who thirsts. For slaanesh will use and make new holes in you.....
10/10 reaction as always! I don't know much about warhammer either so I learned a lot of stuff while following this game until launch. Appereantly, the ogre king(the one burping in the cinematic) 's full name is Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth ' the Shockingly Obese' Which is one hell of a name honestly and quite fitting(especially the obese part)
He seems like the husband character from a Hillary Swank movie. Doing dishes in sweats when she gets home from trying to save an inner city school from being defunded. The class laughs her out of the school and he's there, jobless, telling her to give it just one more shot.
Finallyyy!! 😁 thank you guys for sharing it the day previous the release, you are formidable!! I loved the mix of emotions on your faces during this one, particulary with the demons!! A clear feeling of disgust and wonder. Again thank you so much!!!
"Oh, God-Slayer, you are not at all Cocky".....Well He did Shot and Fatally Wounded Kislev's Bear God Ursun.....after he travelled to save him at the begining
Long time viewer, y'all are my favorite reactors! Take your time with your schedule of course because I can imagine it's quite packed. Looking forward to Helsreach when it comes around :D
For Kislev! Katarin was my first campaign and arguably one of the hardest starting campaigns which I think really captures what Kislevites stand for in the universe. Being the shield of the Old World is by far my favorite faction in Warhammer.
Great Video! Fun fact, the two dragon people are actually twins, Zhao Ming (white dragon) and Miao Ying (storm dragon). Their dad is actually so old that he was already there when the space frogs cam onto the planet to create life (yes that is actually lore)
3:46 and 17:16 are the same person and is also the same old man from the first trailer you both watched for total war warhammer 1 that got corrupted by a book and summoned a giant bird demon. Now too pronounce tzeentch basically both t's are silent and thats it just pronounce it based on how it looks like it sounds. And as for our dear friend the godslayer he was once a kislev (russian ice people) prince and tldr he got corrupted by chaos and manipulated into killing their bear god but spoilers not really just mortally wounded him but he and the gods of chaos all think he did so the chaos gods made him into the 2nd ever undivided demon prince (atleast in fantasy 40k undivided demon princes aren't as rare) because they think he killed a god.
Introducing myself to Warhammer and learning about it and you guys are perfect to make it more fun!! Great vid as usual😊. Also I'd totally recommend reacting to all secret techniques and/or team techniques from Ninja Storm 4. Keep up the amazing content!
Cathay (faction led by two dragon siblings and that's based on China) was long time on background while Kislev (faction led by Ice Queen and based on Russia and other slavic nations) had they rules for tabletop.
Well, I maybe do not know much about those total war warhammer games, but I do know a lot about warhammer&40k in general, having read dozens of books and codexes, having played warhammer roleplaying games and many warhammer tabletop games from GW for the last decade. You said that those trailers were very character driven and to me this is all what warhammer is really about. You have dozens of fractions each of which having many named characters. You read about their stories in hundreds of books etc. So it is obvious that Total War developers went that way and presented it that way. It is much richer in lore than just some random npcs you see in those trailers. Nevertheless, that was good observation and I liked your reaction. I hope for more warhammer content on your channel in the future!
Are you guys gonna react to any gameplay trailers? I don’t think you’ve seen what the actual game and interface looks like, yet. And this time around, the game has plenty of those trailers from the official Total War channel. I’d love to see you react to one or two of them.

Whoa damn that is a lot of gameplay trailers 😯 we will try and check some out in the future. We just were in a cinematic mind frame and wanted to check them out first to get us hooked on factions and characters 🤗
The two headed bird guy, I forget his name, but the one you called golum. His whole deal is that one head sees only the past, and the other sees only the future, leaving him blind to the present
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The fun part is _why!_ There's a well in Tzeench's realm that contains all knowledge of past and future and Tzeench REALLY wants to drink from it... But he knows that it might break even _his_ multifaceted mind. So to test it, he grabbed the nearest greater daemon and just yeet'd it into the well to see what would happen. When it crawled out, it was Kairos and he was _completely and totally wallpaper-licking, dog-sniffing insane_ from the experience! Tzeench just set a couple of lesser daemons to write down everything Kairos said, just in case any of it was interesting and then turfed him loose.
In the soundtrack, the Daemons are represented by electric guitar because they _do not belong_ in the material world of drums and flutes and violins. Also because NewDoom is awesome, and it may also point to the TechFuture of Warhammer 40.000 which has these same Daemons.
Thanks for reacting! I really liked these trailers, I think they were very efficient in giving you the feel of the cultures they displayed. The reason they go so much into the Legendary Lords is that you have to pick one as your "main" general, and who you choose can have huge effects on your faction and armies. For example, one Legendary Lord might make Dragons drastically cheaper to buy and keep in your army. They'll also do the voice acting for your Diplomacy screen, and will have missions to gather their signature wargear, and their own campaign styles and goals. The Daemon Prince is almost perfect, I wish they'd explained a little better that these start out as humans- that's the goal for any Chaos worshipper. In such a cruel, dangerous, violent and oppressive world, Chaos offers real rewards, NOW not in some possibly imagined afterlife, and greatest of all is that of immortality - Daemonhood.
Interesting fact: In warhammer fantasy battles / age of Sigmar (Total war warhammer 3 is FB) 5 Chaos gods, first 4 you know, the 5-th god is Horned Rat (or Horned) it's the god of Skaven (rat-human)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yes-yes, Great Horned Rat is greatest of all Skaven! Most masterful of masters, all Skaven serve Great Horned One! (Mostly because none of them have figured out how to betray him and live yet). He's basically the most Skaven-y Skaven to ever Skaven, epitomising all the scheming, brutal, heartless backstabbing bastardry of their race, as well as their inventive madness, utter lack of care for anyone or anything but himself, and their parasitic nature that exists only to gnaw away at the foundations of everything others have built.
Honestly I'm torn between Grand Cathay and Khorne for my first campaign. One thing's decided tho. Nothing will stop me from wiping out the Ogre Kingdoms first.
Great Reaction guys, Adrián below already gave an amazing character synopsis below so I'll just leave you with this... In the Nurgle/Slaaanesh armies reveal trailer, the Exile which is the man in the trailer was in previous Warhammer I & II cinematics. But I believe he was killed in Warhammer II. Turns out his benefactor Tzeentch resurrected him & given that book. In the trailer, it turns out Tzeentch sent him to Slaanesh's domain to meet up with the Architect (the crab armed one reaching for him at the end) give him/her said book. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to the Exile he was also included in this deal. Fortunately for him Papa Nurgle not wanting an alliance between Tzeentch & Slaaanesh intervened saving him from the deal. Also I recommend watching Weshammer's videos they're short but super informative, some funny, some sad, all good. You could make videos as short or as long as you want.
Should never make a deal with chaos gods. They will always be making it In their favor and you will always be included in every deal. Rookie mistake right there 🙃
Hey guys, hope everythings going good. A new Star Wars: the Old Republic cinematic trailer just dropped, called "Disorder." Its about 7 minutes long, so it would make for a great Wild Card Wednesday video!
I don't care what anyone says about the "traditional" Warhammer factions, Miao Ying's intro in her trailer is the most boss-ass moment of any of the Total War Warhammer trailers so far! "Supreme Matriarch of Nan-Gau Master of the Storm Winds Daughter of the Dragon Emperor!"
the thing about magic in the warhammer universe is that it's energy from the chaos realm, meaning everytime someone uses magic they can get corrupted by chaos
Alright my response is prolly gonna be broken into two parts again so.... Bare with me! :P First post will be all the trailer stuff second post will be extra stuff to put it into perspective 1:08 - Kilsev is being assaulted by Daemons of Khorne. I'd assume you guys know this due to the 40k topics taht you guys have seen. The four faces u saw in the mirror were greater daemons representing the Chaos Gods, since the Chaos Gods themselves can't leave the warp and send their minions to do the work for them. Now heres a bit of interesting lore, The "ice" queen you guys mention her name is Tzarina Katarin and the cool part about it, is there isnt a whole lot of lore. We're both learning more about these characters together so to speak because her biggest thing was 1 turning Kilsev into an ice patch as was stated in the lore way back and 2 trolling grimgor ( the one guy that killed the gobbo ). Overall though, it was an intro trailer and a very good one to! As for the ending you guys were confused and rightfully so. The person who smiled at the end has really nothing to do with the trailer, what he did do was show us Grand Cathay. Meaning they announced Grand Cathay and all the haters who said here and said "NO CATHAY ISNT GONNA HAPPEN FUCK OFF!" Were just proven wrong. Milkandcookies explains this more a bit in his youtube video down below. All you need to do is watch the first five minutes and you'll get it ruclips.net/video/MhlriuxlUa8/видео.html 3:50 - Kilsev male and the person talking has turned to chaos due to feeling that fighting chaos is hopeless and that Kilsev will never win. Chaos corruption has affected him and thats why his hands also changed to. The female wonders into a corrupted part of the world and sees a Khorne's Avatar standing before her briefly. Overall though, yeah the guy gave up and now serves chaos which is odd because in normal lore, kilsev knows its the buffer zone between the world and Chaos. Its why the Empire and High Elves ( mostly empire ) have helped them a decent amount. Everything ranging from cannons to extra foot soldiers to sending imperial officers and so on. Because overall Kilsev hasn't had much lore brought into light 6:18 - Enter the World of Kilsev is just show casing Kilsev and how awesome they are along with again making it clear they are indeed holding back chaos. However all enter the worlds are amazing tbh and really well done! :P Kilsev is also all about bears. One of their main god's is a bear and is worshipped. His name is Ursun and thats who she refers to in this trailer as well "the mighty bear god" 7:23 - Enter the World of Khorne is like the other trailers in show casing this faction and how cool they are. The person speaking is Skarbrand and hes the big dude flying at the end. He shouldn't be flying because technically Khorne already threw him across the warp for 7 days and 7 nights after Skarbrand tried to betray him due to Tzeentch whispering secrets into Skarbrand's ear. Now he is trying to gain the "love" so to speak from his "father" ( Khorne ) and is set out to kill and slaughter in his name. Also your jaw dropping moment is a Bloodthirster, we saw one charge the bear as well and keep in mind these guys are generally army breakers. In the second post ill explain a little more as well but mostly the characters who fight them :D 8:18 - Remember Grand Cathay as I said up above? This is them, and now we're both REALLY gonna learn more about them together. Because they only had a few foot notes in history and most of it came from the End Times. So what ure seeing is basically new to all of us for the most part. I mean art wise at least and some other stuff, Grand Cathay has been given a vague army description before, but nothing we're seeing now. In this trailer though who you see is The Storm Dragon; Miao Ying ( Brand new character ) facing off against Tzeentch's forces whom is lead by Kairos Fateweaver ( A very flushed out and well known character ). Miao ( Meow ) is the one speaking and letting us know that if their wall fails Chaos can very well take over Grand Cathay and its her duty to hold the line. Kairos Fateweaver is a greater daemon of Tzeentch much like bloodthirsters and you saw them way back in the cutscene in WH1 but Kairos has two heads instead of one. One sees the past at all times and the other sees the future at all times, but is blinded by the present hence why fighting him is very dangerous, but he can be defeated and has been defeated. As for prettiness, I mean Tzeentch has very pretty views and magic since he is the god of Magic along with change :P 11:13 - Enter the World of Grand Cathay, like the others its just to show off Grand Cathay, however whos speaking in this trailer is Miao's brother ( Dragon Emperor and Empress both had IIRC 7 children ) and this guy is named Zhao Ming the Iron Dragon. Again keep in mind Grand Cathay is new to us all because these characters have never been talked about and the lore ( what little there was ) has been rewritten, for example the Dragon Emperor acts more like the God Emperor of Mankind in the 40k setting when in old lore he was more like Sigmar ( who is based off of Canon and became a god among men and slaughtered tons of people ) However the Dragon Emperor is the eastern style of it, now this has changed and so on. 12:25 - Enter the World of Tzeentch as stated before its to make Tzeentch's forces look cool in which they do lol plus a killer music beat Xd. The vulture is the Lord of Change greater daemon that we saw in WH1 trailer in the beginning, but yeah Tzeetnch is all about magic and change and thats what we get lol. IIRC in one of your videos when covering the Chaos Gods in 40k you guys labeled him as "hes a giant douche" :P 13:25 - FINALLY!!!! OGRES!!! YES!! Btw there is a song of this on loop for an hour long and it takes out the burp at the end ( the burp is cool but when listening to it a bunch it gets annoying xd ) However the OGRES are similar to greenskins in that they like to fight, however theyve been cursed with endless hunger due to the fact the Dragon Emperor ( Grand Cathay head leader ) brought down a big warp stone meteorite right on top of the ogres landscape and completely fucked them up. He killed 2/3's of them IIRC. Now just to let you know the Ogres were created by the Old Ones the same guys who created the lizardmen in order to fight chaos, but they weren't fully complete and so had some flaws, but due to the mixture of wanting to fight and constantly being hungry thanks to the Dragon Emperor they are kind of a pest to well everyone similar to greenskins. However, they can be used and have been used as mercs to fight battles, yet the problem is they do cost quite a bit to whomever has hired them and they arent exactly reliable since they can break and so on. Although they are a funny bunch and their leader that u see in the trailer his name is Greasus goldtooth and was killed by Grimgor in a duel to :P. In the end times the maw and the waaagh were considered the same though, but now I dont think this will be the case and their lore is changing to from what CA has presented so far! Regardless they are funny bunch! :P However your reactions were priceless as you both almost had complete opposites at times haha 14:32 - Enter the world of the Ogres once more just showing off how cool they are a few units that caught ur attention was the stonehorns and those big ol beasts are known to be the ridden monsters for the Ogres especially Tyrants because they represent power and status kinda like dragons for High Elves and such. As for the little "gobbo" people theyre called globnars and they serve much like the goblins for the greenskins in the sense they got some decent brains and are fairly clever/cunning. Funny thing about them though is if an Ogre bites their ear, they are claimed by said ogre and are considered safe and off limits by other ogres, however getting their ear bit might lead to death cause the Ogre just might eat him funny, if they dont have a mark on their ear though they can be just eaten regardless, so its a very tricky situation. As for the fat bastard comment, that was solid lol hahah
15:41 - Slaanesh vs Nurgle! Now keep in mind Slaanesh's main rival is actually khorne and Nurgle's is Tzeentch's but these were the last two factions, so.... yeah they had them square off against each other interestingly enough lol. The two people we see is Ku'gath plaguefather and N'kari. Ironically N'kari is a new model as well. There's a few images and such, but what you see is also new to us as well so its very cool for both new fans and old fans to both be very interested in the fact we're getting new lore and models. Ill go over more especially N'kari in their own enter the world and in the second post ( which will be at the end because I got a feeling Ive already over typed as it is.) In the trailer though you get the feeling nurgle wanted and he did until the tome of change or fate was clung onto him and that caused an issue. Slaaneshi forces as u saw in the ruins do what slaanesh does, which is give u temptation and then kill u for it. Slaanesh is not a very nice faction nor god to serve for this exact reason. You basically get ur 15 mins of fame and once its over ure tossed aside and either killed or a nobody. Only the most famous characters do stuff that pleases Slaanesh enough to constantly gain favor and value but even they can fall out of glory within a heart beat. Nurgle, just wants to give u a hug and tell u its okay just help him spread the love. Remember that, nurgle is love :P. As for the "the hell is that?" That is a daemonette and they again come across as pretty until you basically look too close and they will kill you. The guy entered the realm of nurgle and it was prolly due to the fact he again is worshipping his enemy Tzeentch. At the end we see N'Kari and the guy that was laughing before that was Ku'gath. 18:46 - Enter the World of Nurgle and its again showing how awesome they are. So the fat fuck u saw that made u both kinda cringe is a Greater Daemon of Nurgle called a Great Unclean one lol. The other one that made u gag a little was a beast of nurgle as well, but remember in Nurgle's forces you can see they are all happy because again they feel no pain and overjoyed to spread his love. Hence why hes my favorite god despite how they look lol. The guy talking though is Ku'gath and we see him throughout the trailer and he is laughing as well, but yeah hes one of the major Great Unclean Ones that serve Nurgle is well known for his plagues as he caused plenty within the WHF setting. 19:48 - Enter the World of Slaanesh again showing off their forces and how cool they are. The person talking is N'kari and thats also who u see at the end. He is also a major character for the High Elf history and well has done some pretty crazy stuff, overall though he has lost to the high elves and elves in general a few times including Tyrion in who we saw in WH2. The one u saw standing and looking around along with that cat walk in the beginning are Keeper of Secrets and are the greater daemons of Slaanesh. The chariots are being pulled by steeds of Slaanesh which look very sea horse like indeed! :P 20:58 - This is a Daemon Prince, he unites the daemons of chaos in this trailer, but hes honestly Be'lakor and they should of allowed us to have Be'lakor instead at first and then revealed this guy, but they didn't and he basically fills in the role of Be'lakor which is to be the counterpart to Archaon whom is the Everchosen and generally leads the MORTAL aspect of Chaos while Be'lakor leads more of the DAEMONIC aspect of Chaos. Granted in lore Archaon is above Be'lakor, but still they usually go hand in hand. Quick note, Warhammer is based off a Board game or a table top game so you're not wrong there. AS for the risk aspect, yes because WH is set up to basically be similar to risk, in fact the auto resolve functions similar to rolling dice, but not quite because it factors in a lot. However, much like risk the defender in the game usually has a garrison at least in cities and towns thus allowing the defender to have a high chance of winning, and ure overall statement is basically spot on. THIS IS PART TWO REAL QUICK So now you saw all the daemons, keep in mind here's some interesting facts 1 Grimgor came in last sec and drop kicked Grand Cathay and the Daemons over on the eastern part of the world pretty dang hard. He literally murked the Great Unclean Ones without an issue. ( so very impressive ) He also went to go fight Kilsev once but the Ice Queen literally sent him a big ol blizzard and either his army froze or they had to fall back due to soon being frozen haha 2 N'Kari is the Elves biggest threat, since Slaanesh has always wanted Elven souls specifically and N'kari is quite clever and even pulling off a few tricks that would of gotten him killed if it hadn't been for luck. One of them was that he was caught in the maelstorm we saw in WH2 trailers and basically waited there to reform again. Why this is a risk is because if he was found and detected if they attacked and killed him, he'd be gone because technically the maelstorm sucked 90% of the magic out of the world and N'kari ( I forget how ) found a way to somewhat dodge it and so on. He has been defeated though a few times especially by Tyrion and Teclis' dad ( also malekith's dad to ) along with losing to Tyrion and IIRC Telcis as well. 3 The Daemons you also saw Lizardmen fought them for hundreds of years and matched them every bit until the flow of the warp and chaos started to slowly creep forward which made the spell casting for the Slann very risky and slowly they started to die and their cities started to blow up from it due to miscasts and so on. I'd like to note some of those Greater Daemons like the Bloodthirster we saw in the first trailer, Gor Rok and Kroq-Gar have slayed said Greater Daemons before as well, so I hope that speaks volumes as well. Oxy ( the lizardmen guy with the blowpipe ) killed all these types of daemons for again thousands of years as well all while being stuck in the warp and was able to avoid the Daemons of Chaos hunting him for basically... ever until he returned to the normal world during the end times. These are a few notes I thought might interest u guys, so I figured to mention them. There's a few more, but that's if you're interested in well, overall though. I loved ur reactions to the trailer especially the Ogres and Nurgle ones, they were 10/10 reactions along with the comments stated as well. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you guy keep making videos as they never get old! :P
This maybe could’ve been split into three parts even 😜 But thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge about all of this with us. Can see that you are fans of the ogres 😁 And appreciate the kind words at the end about 10/10 reactions and enjoying watching these with us. Next time we will aim for 11/10 for at least one of the trailers 😉😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ill aim for 3 next time while you guys aim for 11/10 reactions haha xD. Absolutely, you guys are amazing and there's very few youtubers who get as interested as you guys do when it comes to various games and I'm glad you guys expand on it all or as much as u possibly can within the short amount of hours we have in the day. Nevertheless keep up the good work! :P
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames To be fair, that's actually a thing in real life. You know Honda? There was a real Japanese clan by that name and one of the most famous warriors in Japanese history was named Honda Tadakatsu. He supposedly went his entire life without ever having been wounded on the battlefield even ONCE, despite wearing a flashy set of deer antlers on his helmet and fighting at the front lines the whole time!
The cool thing is that all the other factions that you watched in earlier episodes from Total War Warhammer 1 and 2 are still useable in 3, so you can combine all 3 games to have a Super large campaign where all the factions try to dominate a huge world. :D
i think it would speak to them more if we were to explain that it's the wizard they saw in the very first warhammer cinematic, when he's reading a book about each race, before starting to become more and more corrupted. And that he's the same person as the one carrying the book/tome in the cinematic with nurgle and slaanesh.
Yup. Wizard over advisor has us more clued in and remembering. Although Warhammer 1 first cinematic feels like ages ago even though it was only a couple of months 😂🤗
yay, so glad you did this one! i am so happy to try out Ogres soon (when i can afford the game) and the Cathay (human Eastern faction, with the dragons) that Chaos Undivided looks really cool too, i may check them out
In regards to the daemon at 18:20... All four of the chaos gods have both a greater and lesser daemon type. That is a Keeper of Secrets, a greater daemon of Slaanesh. To be specific, that's N'kari, one of the greatest of the Keepers of Secrets in Warhammer fluff. The lesser daemons of Slaanesh are the Daemonettes. And yes, N'Kari has one mammary. That's because Slaanesh presents itself as male, female, or both, depending on its whims. So, its daemons (both greater and lesser) all have a single mammary on the right side. It sometimes gives its mortal champions one, too, as a sign of Slaanesh's favor. (And no, they're not hermaphrodites. As far as I know, N'Kari is male down below; daemonettes are, obviously, female.)
Seems like Slaanesh wouldn’t have any secrets to keep. Isn’t it all about just giving in to desires and what not? 🤔 Or does the demon keep secrets of humans and that’s how Slaanesh knows how to twist them to her side?
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Probably the latter. The thing to keep in mind about Slaanesh is that it isn't just lust (although that is definitely ONE desire, and the one it's best known for). It's right there in one of the alternate titles: "The Lord of Excess". It is the god of obsession, the Master of Excess in All Things, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. The finest culinary delights, the most beautiful art, the most sensual clothing, the sound of wood crackling in a fire, the taste of freshly cut fingernails? Anything can be an obsession. Anyway, without typing a wall of text: a Keeper of Secrets knows what your secret obsession is (hence "Keeper of Secrets"), and how to make it happen.
Not sure if you guys take suggestions (sorry if you dont) but there is some really cool stuff in the now released Total War Warhammer 3 game. I would highly recommend the video with all the different factions opening cinematic! Think theres a compilation of them all up on youtube
Out of the trailers playing the game and knowing the lore the Daemon Prince of Kislev is my favorite both lore and faction mechanic wise....like the reason he is the Godslayer when he was still mortal (human whatever) he shot and presumably killed Kislev's god Ursun
If you guys are still unsure about the dark gods, they're basically collections of human emotions and deeds Khorne- rage Tzeentch- knowledge Nurgle- death Slaanesh- hedonism
Death isn't an emotion and it's not what Nurgle is about... He's more about living and dying. As soon as you die, you rot and your rotting body gives back to the living.
@@Long_Live_Metal English isnt my first language, so as far as I'm aware dying isn't a deed aswell. I also don't know what a nimrod is, so please tell me. Back to topic: I've read 2 codexes of the Death Guard and the burried dagger. If you really want to tell me Nurgle is about despair we have to cut it right here.
@@VollKaracho209 Sorry. Us Americans call people nimrods when idiocy is showing, or when we get annoyed by them. I apologize. Back on track, death is a key part of mind within the human psyche, and the dark ones are collections of all human psyche, and as death is as old as time itself, Nurgle is therefore the eldest of the chaos gods in Warhammer fantasy. I am also completely aware of the life cycle in Nurgle's plane. It's literally a campaign feature for his armies in Total War Warhammer 3!
As everyone has mentioned, the trailers are character driven due to how important the characters of Warhammer is. In short, they're known as "Legendary Lords", and almost every playable race has multiple of these lords you can choose to start as. You can ally with and subsume/federate with other faction leaders of your same playable race, while for other races it depends a lot on what they are. For example, Humans and Dwarves get along well, but Dwarves and Greenskins do not. And while I say "humans", I mean The Empire, because there's multiple Human-centric factions, including the two shown in these trailers. Bretonia, The Empire, Kislev, Grand Cathay and the Trade Princes are the five human factions seen in the Warhammer Total War games and the Trade Princes are actually unplayable. I wanna point out the guy we see at 3:40 and later at around the 16 minute mark is weirdly enough not a vital character, but at the same time kind of he is. See, in almost every empire, he is the Advisor that shows up to teach you how to play the game. It doesn't matter which race you play as, this guy tells you how to play the game. In one of the campaigns, its revealed he is a spy of Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Magic, Deception and incessant planning. Which makes sense for a character who goes to every faction and tells them who they should do battle with. But he has no name and doesn't exist in the Warhammer lore, he (like the whole Vampire Coast pirate faction) was made by Creative Assembly who made this game, not Games Workshop who made Warhammer in the first place. So uh... Lets go over the factions here and do a brief description of all of them. This will be a lot more brief than my previous descriptions, as I've not played this game yet and I'm not super versed in Warhammer lore outside this game franchise. Beginning with the Kislev faction: Kislev are the northern guardians of The Old World, the region where The Empire, Dwarves, Bretonnia, Norsca, Greenskins, Vampires etc duke it out. Kislev doesn't care about the politics of the Old World, they only care about their endless war against the Chaos God of Rage and Warfare, Khorne. As you can tell, they're inspired by good ol' mother russia and folktales/myths surrounding them. War bears and ice queens and oh my. Wouldn't make sense not to talk about Khorne next. Not much to say about any of the Chaos God factions, they're the warriors of that specific Chaos God. Khorne's faction relishes in battle, but rest assured, a servant of Khorne is never going to stab you in the back. It will be done from the front. Repeatedly. Until your face is pulp. Probably. After that, it jumps on over to Cathay: Grand Cathay is based on eastern asian tropes and myths and legends. I know less about these than Kislev, but apparently they value something called Harmony, which is likely going to be a unique thing for them in-game that you have to balance out as you play. On the world map of the Warhammer world, if the Empire is in the middle of the map, the High Elves would be to the west, with the Dark Elves and Lizardmen further west from them. Grand Cathay would be to the East of the Empire, so all the way opposite. Though I guess, if it is an actual world map, Cathay would be fairly close to the Lizardmen if you head further east from Cathay. Now, the typical enemy of Cathay would be Tzeentch's forces. As a chaos god, Tzeentch is a meticulous schemer, the God with a Thousand Plans. Everything that happens, no matter how convoluted, can be attributed to Tzeentch's schemes in some way, as either direct result or accidental side effect. He also doubles as the God of Magic, because Magic can be manipulated and Tzeentch will manipulate ANYTHING. It's a weird stretch honestly. I think a more proper explanation is that effective use of magic requires incredible intellect, and Tzeentch + followers are ridiculously smart. After this we see the Ogre Kingdoms. The Ogres are rightly disgusting, but they are also brutally efficient. They lack in the intelligence department. What little lore I know of them says they SHOULDN'T be stupid, because they were artificial creations meant to fight the Chaos Gods, but the project to create the Ogres failed or didn't finish up, and so they came out "half cooked" and their intelligence is what they're missing. They DO have a rageboner for Chaos forces however, but they're also mercenaries who will fight anyone for coin. They'll even work for the Chaos forces if paid enough. At least some of the dumber ones will. In any case, Ogres despite their comical appearances and behaviors are terrifying foes to face on the battlefield. On the world map, they're smack dab between the Empire and Cathay. And next we've got Nurgle and Slaanesh. I dont need to say much about these. Nurgle the Chaos God of Decay, his faction is obviously disgusting. Slaanesh the Dark Prince of Excess, the Chaos God of Pleasure and every teenage boy's favourite, because they dont understand the true horror of this Chaos God. To quote Slaanesh herself: "Excess in all things". ALL. things. Pain. Pleasure. Food. Battle. Weaponry. Mutations/Corruption. Desire. Jealousy. No matter what it is, you should throw yourself fully and wholeheartedly into it even if it kills you. Especially if it kills you. Like the Rakdos guild of Ravnica in Magic the Gathering the goal is to have one hell of a party. Hell being the operative word. Finally, the Chaos Undivided faction, where you play as a Demon Prince (Daniel). This is... honestly incredibly awesome. Only one other Total War game has had a customizable legendary lord character for multiplayer, and that's Shogun 2, my favourite Total War game. I'm ridiculously happy they've introduced this feature and playstyle. I'm just sad the customizability is ONLY for this faction. Every other race is still restricted to the usual item system, which while decent, feels a bit lacking sort of. Anyway, Chaos Undivided is the four Chaos Gods all putting their support into a single entity, that being you the Demon Prince. The more you honor your gods, the more powerful you become. I love the concept. Also obviously the Daniel name is hilarious and a joke name. Nobody sane would call their Demon Prince something as mundane as Daniel, when clearly Bob is the superior name choice. Get ready for a LOT of memes about horrifyingly powerful demons with ridiculously simple and unassuming names. RUclips videos titled "Jeff slaughters 10,000 Kislev soldiers" and silly stuff like that. Thank you for following this franchise through all the way. Obviously there will be more cinematics, trailers etc in the years to come but for now, you've seen and reacted to just about everything they have available and seen all the different factions that will exist in Warhammer 3. Fun fact: Those of us who own Warhammer 2 and/or 1 will get all of our available DLC characters in Warhammer 3 as well, and that begins to count up to a truly ridiculous amount of playable characters. 50+ at this point with more to come.
We hadn’t realized this is the first time the champion is customizable. We just assumed that was always the case. The Daemon prince and chaos undivided is looking better and better to us 😀 Thanks so much for sharing all this knowledge with us 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Depends on the company and how the worldwide pandemic goes. Sometimes DLC can take a few months to half a year to come out but there were times where DLC came out faster but it was during the early years of one of their games
Im personally on team nurgle because he's the only one working for isnt guaranteed to end up being eternal torture at some point sooner or later. Gotta play the long game.
Well it’s exciting to see how y’all react to the trailers of the game. I am really hyped for tomorrow to play the game. The trailers were excellent as always imo, I really enjoyed the Game 3 reveal trailer which was the first one, the second one called Trial By Fire, and finally the Chaos Undivided were all cool. I remember seeing them for the first time and felt just as hyped for when I saw the Silence and the Fury beastmen dlc trailer. Funny enough the third game in the series (this one) has the most beginner friendly tutorial/prologue of all the games. Anyway nice to see others find some interest in this stuff. Glad to see y’all had a good time.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I am indeed having fun. I was up at 2 am when the game release and yeah it’s got some issues here and there but they’ll be ironed out soon enough.

Funny thing about this creature, it is called the beast of nurgle, and is actually a jolly creature, seeing everything smaller then it as a pet, and goes in for a big hug. What it does not know, however, is that its skin is absolutley fatal to any being, so it does not know the creature it hugs, is dying in agony. Ones this happens, it gets sad, and moves on to find a new pet to hug to death.
Nurgle might or might not be my favorite chaos god, I don't know.
However the daemons of Nurgle are absolutely my favorite.
While his mortal followers are usually fearful cowardly beings, the daemons take so much delight in life and experience so much joy in sharing that life, even if you don't want it.
@@drpainglove3389 Nurgle = Best boy
But heavy metal Khorne armies for campaign. \m/
That is both sweet and sad at the same time 😊😢
I actually had a dog as a child that did something similar. We had these hug rats that came into the yard, and the dog though they were his best buddies. He would play with them, which usually involved grabbing them and tossing them around. He didn't not understand that as they were much smaller than himself, they could not survive his rough play. He get confused and sad when they died and would go find another one.
Of course he was killing rats, so we hardly minded.
Nurgle is the harmonious, peaceful dance of nature. Rot and death, birth and growth.
Filth is life!
Nurgle is actually the most caring out of the chaos gods just wants to share his gifts with everyone

the part at 3:42 sent shockwaves through the warhammer community, due to the map you see it was the first hint that they were making Grand Cathay a fully fledged faction as they have been nothing but half baked lore for 30+ years. That is why the adviser has the smirk on his face as CA knew exactly what they were doing
Thanks for letting us know that. Always nice to get that kind of info. It’s like the lore on the Warhammer community itself ☺️
There are four gods, knowledge that should never be learned, rage that should never be unleashed, life that should never be preserved, and ecstasy... that should NEVER be felt.

Awesome description of the chaos gods sir.
@@JJoJam Don't worry friend, YOU'LL MEET YOUR GOD SOON ENOUGH.
While Nurgle is super gross, you have to remember that out of all the Chaos Gods, he cares the most about his followers.
Also the mutations and diseases his daemons and followers gain, they are super tanky, live a lot longer than usual and most feel no Pain.
There are plenty of stories of people Disemboweling a Chaos warrior of Nurgle and they pause for a second with a look of "That's all you got?" before still keep fighting
Fair points 🥳
Ngl, I want a pet Plague Toad. Nurgle, take me!
ngl, I personally would choose Khorne. Rage is easy enough to come by, honor much less so. A god who offers both and glorious combat, who will never lie to you?

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Thats why he's called "Papa" Nurgle, cause he is generous in his Gifts and loves to share( infect) with everyone.
Trailers are character-driven because they show us our faction leaders and their motives and agendas. When you play, however, you play as a whole faction, not just that one character. There is a lot of story in the game via different quests and missions. Ultimately you are the author of your hero's story. You are leading them in battles and making difficult decisions. Trailers show like an introduction to them but it is you (the player) who writes their legend throughout the campaign. These lords and heroes gain different traits that define their personalities. For example, you execute captives after battle your lord will get the executioner trait and enemies will be afraid of him. You are present in cities when new buildings are finished you get builder trait and new buildings are cheaper...etc. It is still a very character-driven game even tho it may not look like it :)
Thanks so much for helping us understand the gameplay more and how the trailers tie into that 😀 Happy to hear it is character driven 🥳🤩
There's also things like the Bretonnians' knightly vows and the Dwarf grudges against anyone who messes with you, like raiding your territories.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the motto of the game is will you conquer your daemons or command them? And if you choose to command them who will really be in charge? For the gods and their children are cruel, and they always have their payment.
The story really adds meaning to the stats of the warriors.
The reason the daemon prince calls himself the god slayer is because, as a mortal, he shot and killed the bear god of Kislev in this games very prologue story.
😯😀
I'm still gonna play that prologue. Even though I watched an upload of it already. :P
The bear god is wounded, not dead
@@tomasgroppo4436 Close to dying, though, so it counts.
@@tomasgroppo4436 Yuri thought he killed Ursun.
Tzeench’s forces may not seem like much, but there are few armies that are scarier in pure magical power, and they’re the true masters of the Winds of Magic.
Also, little fun note: that massive jagged structure in the second trailer at the end is the Brass Citadel, the dwelling of Khorne and illuminated high above it is the Blood God himself, the first true depiction of him in media.
The Ogres were originally meant to be the perfect species to completely resist the powers of Chaos as they were being designed by the Old Ones (The same beings that the Lizardmen worship and seek out and original owners of the world), but at the coming of the Great Cataclysm and the Collapse of the Polar gates (Portals the Old ones used for travel), The sudden arrival of Chaos throughout the ruined gates forced The Old Ones to flee and leave their ultimate creations unfinished, and so the Ogres began to develop as they are now, alongside many other events which affected them into the beings they are now.
The Ogre Kingdom lore is actually quite neat and worth looking into, although that can easily be said for every single Warhammer faction, as they’re isn’t a single bad or boring faction amongst the universe really!!! XD
Oh wow, hadn’t realized that was the first true depiction of the Blood God 😯
Some context regarding the two playable human factions in the game:
Kislev: a pan-Slavic fantasy nation primarily inspired by Poland and Russia. They are the northeastern neighbors of the Empire of Man and directly border Chaos-worshipping factions. They're often the first line of defense against Chaos invasions from the north and as such are a people hardened by frequent conflict and death. They worship a pantheon of gods, the chief of which is Ursun (the bear god/ice god). Currently, there is political turmoil between Tzarina Katarin (ruler of Kislev & ice witch) and Kostaltyn, the leader of The Great Orthodoxy (Kislev's religious body) after the death of Katarin's father Tzar Boris.
Cathay: fantasy China, ruled by the Celestial Dragon Emperor, his wife (the Moon Dragon), and their children. It's the largest empire in the setting and until recently was only a minor footnote in the setting. We still don't know a lot about it as they've only just begun creating lore for it and its characters but the Empire is divided up between the dragon children, each of whom are associated with one of the major lores of magic. The two we see in the trailers are Miao Ying (the storm dragon) and her Brother Zhao Ming (the iron dragon). The Chaos god most interested in Cathay, and thus their biggest threat, is Tzeentch, as he sees their cultural and religious focus on harmony and order as a challenge.
Cathay 🤩 Thanks for the info on those two factions 😀
correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't there only 8 major lores of magic?
cause there are 9 dragon children.
@@Olochgu Yes. One of them is unaligned from what we've heard from Andy Hall. whether they have a lore of magic or multiple lores, turned to chaos, etc we don't know.
@@Olochgu Maybe High Magic and Dark Magic? Also i am pretty sure most of them died.
@@heitorpedrodegodoi5646 well most of them can't be dead because 5 of the 9 are present and acounted for in Cathay, each ruling over cathayan provinces (North, East, South, West and Central)
There is also the youngest one )that is the main object of the campaign) who ventured north and is currently missing but implied to be alive.
There are two that we know nothing about and the last one is the spirit dragon, who might be dead or might just be sleeping beneath cathay. (but you can actually see that one when you use the summon ancestors spell)

Oh man you guys are so vanilla I just love it. It's really refreshing seeing someone react so confused , scared , disgusted by common warhammer stuff. I've always wondered how commoners feel about video games and warhammer and etc. so I just love watching you guys react to things :)
🤣🤗😇 our pleasure.
The candy explanation was on point I must say. You just pick the Faction you like to play and rule with your "Empire". For Nurgle btw!
Haha, thanks! Wouldn’t think that would be on point but glad it made sense 😊😁🤗
I'am just going to leave this little info here:
Legendary characters in these trailers:
KISLEV LEGENDARY LORDS:
TZARINA KATARIN:
Ascending to the throne and crown in the wake of her father’s bloody death fighting against the hordes of Chaos, Katarin has wasted no time cementing her grip upon Kislev. She is, in every way, a totalitarian ruler. She is stern and unflinching and will readily have rivals removed by agents of the crown if she cannot win them over with cold reason. The base of Katarin’s power, beyond hereditary right, is her extraordinary magical prowess. She is the greatest Ice Witch for generations, capable of magical feats more deadly and devastating than any other Ice Witch in Kislev.
SUPREME PATRIARCH KOSTALTYN:
Kostaltyn is the Supreme Patriarch of the Ursunite Cult and as the highest ranking clergy in the nation, the de facto leader of the Grand Orthodoxy. With wild hair, wilder eyes, and wither-thin limbs, Kostaltyn is a ghoulish figure, robed in the finery of the resurgent Ursunite faith.
He is a howling, angry firebrand, screaming furious rhetoric at the enemy and urging the warriors around him to fight on with a fearful mixture of encouragement and threat. For he is himself fearless, able to recover from any wound quickly and thus inspire his flock to run pell-mell at foes that any sane person would flee!
With complete control of the faith that binds Kislev together, Kostaltyn whips his followers into a holy fervour. He despises the machinations of the Tzarina and her Ice Court and considers them usurpers and magic-wielding heretics.
KHORNE LEGENDARY LORD:
SKARBRAND:
The Bloodthirster Skarbrand was once the greatest of all Khorne’s Daemons. No other had piled so many skulls before the Skull Throne. One dark day, Skarbrand’s fierce pride grew hot and, blinded by rage, he smote the Blood God a mighty blow. Incandescent with wrath, Khorne cursed Skarbrand’s name and choked all personality from him, leaving only the bottomless rage that had caused him to attack. Since that fateful day, Skarbrand has wandered the mortal and immortal realms, drowning his sins in the blood of the slain - though he no longer has the wit to fully understand why.
GRAND CATHAY LEGENDARY LORDS:
MIAO YING, THE STORM DRAGON:
Miao Ying believes herself to be the strongest Dragon sibling, and lords her power and position of authority as protector of the Great Bastion over her brothers and sisters. Despite her earned arrogance, she is well-aware of the significance of the task laid at her feet to protect Grand Cathay from the hordes of Chaos to the North. The constant scheming of the mortal lords of Nan-Gau, her capital and unconquerable home, does not make it any easier.
ZHAO MING, THE IRON DRAGON:
Ruler of the Western Provinces, the Iron Dragon is seen as a much more down-to-earth ruler and commander than his sister. Zhao Ming commands loyalty through comradeship, as well as his creation and use of powerful artifacts and magic items. He is one of the Empire’s premier alchemists and welcomes the same within his realm - much to the chagrin of some of his siblings.
Proximity to the Warpstone Desert and the Great Maw, still seeping with the destructive magic that created it, has led some to believe his mind is beginning to unravel. This would certainly explain some of the odd tendencies and decisions he makes, but it is still far from anything approaching insurrection or dangerous to Grand Cathay. While less favoured than his sister by the Celestial Dragon, their mother, the Moon Empress, has a soft spot for Zhao Ming.
TZEENTCH LEGENDARY LORD:
KAIROS FATEWEAVER:
Kairos can see things that are hidden even to Tzeentch. His right head sees possible futures as clear as day. No scheme is hidden from its sight and the infinite possibilities of tomorrow crystallise into irrefutable fact. Kairos’ left head sees the past without the petty colourations of perspective and bias. Valuable as this vision is, it comes with a heavy cost. Both of Kairos’ heads are blind to the present; he cannot see time as it passes - only events that are to come or whose time has already lapsed.
OGRE KINGDOMS LEGENDARY LORDS:
GREASUS GOLDTOOTH:
Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese was one of many whelps sired by the infamous Gofg, Tyrant of the Goldtooth tribe. Like his brothers, Greasus grew up to become strong and fat. Unlike his brothers, he killed and ate his own father. As word spread of such prodigious deeds, many Tyrants decided to join the ruthless new leader of the Goldtooth tribe and soon, once again, the Ogre Kingdoms had an Overtyrant. These days, grown older, larger, louder and richer than ever, Goldtooth’s coffers fill faster than his Gnoblars can count. Yet Greasus’ rampant success has not diminished his greed, or his all-consuming desire to conquer everything he sees.
As the fattest lad around, Greasus rolls into battle on a custom-made, gnoblar-pushed cart stuffed with gold, gems, and plunder. The glory of being too rich to walk, writ large across the faces of his enemies. His iconic scepter is used equally to steer and smash skulls, while he is always chewing on a massive leg of meat, or equally using it to scratch himself. He is an inspiration and a hero to all Ogres, and a terror to fight on the battlefield.
SKRAG THE SLAUGHTERER:
Skrag is the legendary Prophet of the Great Maw, also known as the Gore-Harvester and the Maw-that-Walks. Dragging his massive meat-pot behind him - attached to his back with a series of painful, tearing hooks and chains - Skrag hacks and rips at his enemies in a glorious blood-fuelled dedication to the Great Maw. In his wake, he leaves a trail of dismembered limbs and body parts, which it is the duty of his Gore-Gnoblars to retrieve and deposit into his cauldron.
His history is as sad as it is brutal, brought to his current sorry state by a Tyrant to whom he fed the wrong Gnoblar. However, the punishment only connected Skrag more to the Great Maw, making him one of the most powerful Gut Magic wielders in the world.
NURGLE LEGENDARY LORD:
KU’GATH PLAGUEFATHER:
Whilst other Great Unclean Ones work to spread the plagues already extant, Ku’gath, the Plaguefather, is fascinated by the breeding of new and virulent life. Ku’gath aims to one day breed a contagion that can infect the Gods themselves. The Plaguefather rides upon a massive palanquin bedecked with alchemical paraphernalia: vials full of seething powder, flasks of indescribable liquid and hessian sacks stuffed to bursting with Nurglings. This great bulk is held aloft by a carpet of straining Nurglings, and Ku’gath is attended on by countless others, all bred from the Plaguefather’s pox vats.
SLAANESH LEGENDARY LORD:
N’KARI:
N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, is a notorious and ancient Keeper of Secrets that scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form. Over recent millennia he has developed a hatred for the Elven twins of Ulthuan, and whatever his short-term goals, the next part of the plan will surely involve their eternal misery.
I know this is very long, but hey at least you know somthing about these cool characters! :D ( havent included the ones that are not in the reaction like boris or belakor! )
You really think that they or anyone gonna to read all that ;)
@@vladokalaba2640 Them? Most likely not, but I'll tell you who WILL. The damn WarHammer nerds who already know all of this, that's who. :D
@@vladokalaba2640 I wrote longer ones and they still read it, so who knows my friend :D
Excellent info!
@@vladokalaba2640 You'd be surprised then my friend.

😂
All it takes is one moment, hesitation, doubt, weakness, then the Gods have you.

Can't wait for tomorrow, this release has taken far too long!
Wich one will you play first?
@@pugjesus1623 I still don’t know man. I’m leaning towards ogres, Nurgle, or undivided
@@pugjesus1623 Undivided Prince for my first playthrough, then Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Ogres, with Humans for last.
Especially because the content creators are already streaming for weeks it felt a lot longer than it actually was...
Also Tzeentch will definitely my first campaign :)
We are in the grips of Slaanesh right now.
Blood for the Blood God, milk for the Khorne Flakes.
All this chaos stuff reminds me of that Azeriah Kyras speech. A little short for a reaction but a video on the best quotes from this or that series would be interesting.

Top 10s are always good 😎🤟
Not gonna lie Daniel or Yuri as I’m gonna to call him has got be the best thing CA has ever done his gameplay is awesome
😎🤟
I'm so excited for this game, I'm preloading it on Steam right now, and I think it unlocks at midnight! Warhammer Total War games are somewhat character driven, the characters are the generals that lead your armies, and specialists called heroes that can join the battles and do a variety of espionage tactics on the campaign map. It's so much fun, I can't recommend it enough if you like strategy games.
Where you from? There's a release map for times around the world. If you tell me what country you live in I could tell you when it releases tomorrow for you :D
@@livingston5854 I already looked it up, 12 AM PST for the US west coast! Midnight tonight!
I've preloaded it as well can't wait.
@@KhasAdun1990 If you have TWW 1 and 2 you'll be able to play on TWW 1 and 2 maps merged with the TWW 3 map in a massive worldwide map.
Or at least you'll be able to in a later date.
Also any DLC you purchased for TWW 1 and 2 will be transferred to TWW 3 and you'll be able to play with the factions you paid for without any extra charge.
Probably the biggest Total War game ever made. It's going to be insane.
@@andregon4366 I have both and I've been slowly accumulating DLC, so the definitive Warhammer experience is going to be legendary.
"dude, keep that book shut..." best quote ever ahhaha
🤗😂
14:18 it´s not Jesus, it´s actually Greasus xD
Probably Nurgle he is the only one out of the chaos gods that cares about his followers, you may look rotting and bloated but as his demon you don't notice or feel the changes going through you
Seems like a fair trade off all things considered 🙂
So I have what it takes to become an unstoppable daemon prince. I have apparently wasted my entire adulthood in the wrong career.
😂😈😁
Been waiting for y’all to react!!!
😁😈
Thats why i love nurgle so much. At first when you look at his followers you feel repulse and disgusted but the more you go in chaos lore the more you realize that he is by far the most reasonable and pleasant chaos god to live under. Under nurgle your body might change but you keep your sanity. You will never feel pain or discomfort but instead you will feel a never ending feeling of bliss and satisfaction paying no mind to your (presumably) disgustingly resilient exterior.
We just have to ditch our vanity 🤗🙂
Next thing you guys should watch on Total War: Warhammer III is the intro cinematics for each faction :)
ruclips.net/video/iJPkg56xg3k/видео.html
Every nerd ever.
On our request list to check out eventually 😀
I play the ogres song when I'm cooking! lol!
The monsters you saw were the champions of Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch (Zeen-tch) and Khorne and the one fighting was the Ice Queen Tzarina Katarin herself!
Lmao. You need to make a RUclips short or tik tok vid out of that 🤣 cooking with the ogre song 😝😁😎🤟

Tearing, chewing we kill for the maw
The power and grubs what we doin' it for!!🎼
There got a new Trailer released today.
Are you guys making a new video about the dlc trailers if there are some more videos released?
I really like the videos you’re making
We will continue to check this franchise out. Thanks for letting us know about the new trailer 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames They're are going to be 4 trailers in total + 4 short developer walkthrough of the four new Characters. To advertise the dlc pack alongside the full launch of Immortal Empires on Aug 23.
Immortal Empires is the combined map that incorporates the older factions into warhammer 3.
Not including the 4 characters you have not seen the Trailers for "Sons of Kislev" & Immortal Empires announcement trailer.
They may possibly have a final trailer for the launch but that's just guessing.
At time of post we have had 3 character trailers and should have the final champion revealed in a week.
Out of these new ones I like the Daemon Prince the best. I like all the chaos gods depending on the mood so a character whos faction can choose any and all is perfect. I also generally like the more traditional gargoyle look of the daemon princes in Warhammer so thats perfect.
What I'm really looking forward to is what they'll add in the future with DLCs. The daemons got some pretty cool upgrades in the Age of Sigmar reboot of the franchise so it would be really interesting to see if they'll embrace some of the more unique daemons that came from it, especially slaanesh who got Glutos Orscollion, a big chariot mini-palace drawn by big clawn-armed men with a gluttonous half daemon man on top, Slaanesh followers in general got a huge upgrade in Age of Sigmar with their faction "Hedonites of Slaanesh".
They did say they don't plan on AoS unit, but the models were A-Okay, though so. Also there is not enough stuff for all the Mono-gods if they don't add some AoS type units. I what my hammer chains for Khorne.
@@singularleaf3895 I have heard that they said that aswell, but the context would be important for that quote. Because of course they won't add those weird insectoid skeletons or the golden space marine-like humans. But daemons aren't new to the age of sigmar, some like Sigvald changed but normal daemons in theory wouldn't be any different so I think they can get away with alot more of it.
They pretty much already have with the Keeper of Secrets, they didn't use to look like that in warhammer fantasy, they have the age of sigmar look in the game, so the doors are open.
We were confused how the Daemon Prince worked. If that was the main protagonist in this or an avatar representation of the player. But Daniel did indeed look extremely badass 🤩
26:00 With regards to your explanation, think less Risk and more chess where your Queen and King have names. You can get invested in specific units who have names, by naming the generic units, and by outfitting them with wargear and banners. I remember in Warhammer 2 I renamed a unit of Dwarf Rangers after they kept getting the drop on enemy Lords (army leaders), specifically wizards. They went from just some Rangers with axes I got on a whim to Ograk's Hunters (after a DND character of mine), who I would always use to take care of the accursed wizards. After a brutal battle left them dead, I would rename their successors in their honor as Ograk's Bearers. Or in another campaign, as Bretonnia, I named each leveled (as units can level-up) unit of knights after a properly Frankish name and their greatest kill (shouts out to Jean de Luc's Dragonslayers, a unit of Pegasus Knights who did the impossible). You can always play the game without this level of roleplay/attachment, but I've never enjoyed Total War as just a numbers game.
Sir, for this comment, I shall name my Tzeench leaning build of the Daemon Prince a Bird Knight.
From roleplay campaigner to another.
@@jamesbernadette6216 And so Bernadette's Battle Pilgrims will lead the charge in my final Bretonnia campaign of TWW2. I salute you.
Love that you add that type of roleplay/attachment ☺️ and comparing it to Chess makes a ton of sense 😀
I have come to appreciate you nerds. I play with themed armies, but never rp to that level. It sounds quite intriguing. I've known about the renaming system for ages, but I don't know if I can handle losing a unit like that. I save scum XCOM2.
I'm surprised you didn't like Nurgle - who wouldn't want to serve Papa Nurgle and spread his gifts on the battlefield whilst your personal nurgling chews and sucks your weeping boils?
In the end, we're all fodder for maggots...
😂 “your personal nurgling” 😂🤢
One thing you should take into consideration is 2020 was the year of Nurgle, and this only was able to happen because of his chosen champion who was in power in a place called The White House.
And if you don't believe me that this person was chosen Champion remember he was afflicted with the plague and he said that his God blessed him.
Only a true power of the plague father would say something like that
@@Aenarion28 MAGA - Make America Gangrenous Again?
Sharing nurgles wonderful gifts with the world
Your point that the trailers focus on character driven narrative vs mechanics based strategy is a good one! There is an incredible amount of character driven interaction that makes each faction/sub-faction feel unique. So in a sense it’s a bit of both! You should be somewhat invested in the faction leader and as you play it’s easy to grow attached to the individual units that survive and improve throughout each fight. The best campaigns generally double down on this. When you play as Broken-Axe, you’re quite literally cooking with Grom. Collecting ingredients and making meals is the goal, and cooking directly impacts how your army fights on the battlefield. so you’re always engaging with Grom and his cauldron mechanically and thus interacting with his character at the same time! A cool system for sure
They do a great job of appealing to playerbase as well as drawing in new people like us to take interest 😀
I love how shocked when you saw the warp, it's a place filled with madness tbh, it makes anything of horror of what our minds could concept. Really pale in comparison especially when it comes to how creative She who thirsts. For slaanesh will use and make new holes in you.....
The warp is definitely a disturbing place 😨😳
10/10 reaction as always!
I don't know much about warhammer either so I learned a lot of stuff while following this game until launch. Appereantly, the ogre king(the one burping in the cinematic) 's full name is
Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth
' the Shockingly Obese'
Which is one hell of a name honestly and quite fitting(especially the obese part)
Haha that is quite a long and very accurate title 😂
Yes. Total War Warhammer is the best game series ever. The lore behind is awesome too.
😎🤟 look forward to checking out the lore eventually 🙂
He seems like the husband character from a Hillary Swank movie. Doing dishes in sweats when she gets home from trying to save an inner city school from being defunded. The class laughs her out of the school and he's there, jobless, telling her to give it just one more shot.

Is anyone surprised? 😝😈
my favourite is Slaanesh 100%. I love how all the units look and the way they fight is just beautiful and terrifying.

The look on a man's face when he asks his significant other what deity she likes best and she says: "Slaanesh" is a thing of beauty.

Long time viewer, y'all are my favorite reactors! Take your time with your schedule of course because I can imagine it's quite packed. Looking forward to Helsreach when it comes around :D
Thanks so much, Ian! 😀🥰🤗🥳
For Kislev!
Katarin was my first campaign and arguably one of the hardest starting campaigns which I think really captures what Kislevites stand for in the universe. Being the shield of the Old World is by far my favorite faction in Warhammer.
Great Video! Fun fact, the two dragon people are actually twins, Zhao Ming (white dragon) and Miao Ying (storm dragon). Their dad is actually so old that he was already there when the space frogs cam onto the planet to create life (yes that is actually lore)
Space frogs 😯🤔
3:46 and 17:16 are the same person and is also the same old man from the first trailer you both watched for total war warhammer 1 that got corrupted by a book and summoned a giant bird demon. Now too pronounce tzeentch basically both t's are silent and thats it just pronounce it based on how it looks like it sounds. And as for our dear friend the godslayer he was once a kislev (russian ice people) prince and tldr he got corrupted by chaos and manipulated into killing their bear god but spoilers not really just mortally wounded him but he and the gods of chaos all think he did so the chaos gods made him into the 2nd ever undivided demon prince (atleast in fantasy 40k undivided demon princes aren't as rare) because they think he killed a god.
Thanks so much for answering our questions. 😀
Introducing myself to Warhammer and learning about it and you guys are perfect to make it more fun!! Great vid as usual😊. Also I'd totally recommend reacting to all secret techniques and/or team techniques from Ninja Storm 4. Keep up the amazing content!
That’s Naruto right? On our list to check out 😀

Welcome to Kislev lol
Well, I maybe do not know much about those total war warhammer games, but I do know a lot about warhammer&40k in general, having read dozens of books and codexes, having played warhammer roleplaying games and many warhammer tabletop games from GW for the last decade. You said that those trailers were very character driven and to me this is all what warhammer is really about. You have dozens of fractions each of which having many named characters. You read about their stories in hundreds of books etc. So it is obvious that Total War developers went that way and presented it that way. It is much richer in lore than just some random npcs you see in those trailers. Nevertheless, that was good observation and I liked your reaction. I hope for more warhammer content on your channel in the future!
Warhammer will always be a part of this channel. Some months more than others but we are far from done with it 😀😈😁
Gotta give in to those primal Daniel desires
😂
Are you guys gonna react to any gameplay trailers? I don’t think you’ve seen what the actual game and interface looks like, yet. And this time around, the game has plenty of those trailers from the official Total War channel. I’d love to see you react to one or two of them.

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The fun part is _why!_ There's a well in Tzeench's realm that contains all knowledge of past and future and Tzeench REALLY wants to drink from it... But he knows that it might break even _his_ multifaceted mind. So to test it, he grabbed the nearest greater daemon and just yeet'd it into the well to see what would happen. When it crawled out, it was Kairos and he was _completely and totally wallpaper-licking, dog-sniffing insane_ from the experience! Tzeench just set a couple of lesser daemons to write down everything Kairos said, just in case any of it was interesting and then turfed him loose.
Two headed bird guy lol, his name is Kairos Fateweaver but I get how that can be kinda hard to remember
In the soundtrack, the Daemons are represented by electric guitar because they _do not belong_ in the material world of drums and flutes and violins.
Also because NewDoom is awesome, and it may also point to the TechFuture of Warhammer 40.000 which has these same Daemons.
😎🤟
Thanks for reacting! I really liked these trailers, I think they were very efficient in giving you the feel of the cultures they displayed.
The reason they go so much into the Legendary Lords is that you have to pick one as your "main" general, and who you choose can have huge effects on your faction and armies. For example, one Legendary Lord might make Dragons drastically cheaper to buy and keep in your army. They'll also do the voice acting for your Diplomacy screen, and will have missions to gather their signature wargear, and their own campaign styles and goals.
The Daemon Prince is almost perfect, I wish they'd explained a little better that these start out as humans- that's the goal for any Chaos worshipper. In such a cruel, dangerous, violent and oppressive world, Chaos offers real rewards, NOW not in some possibly imagined afterlife, and greatest of all is that of immortality - Daemonhood.
Our pleasure! Really enjoyed all these trailers we’ve seen for the Total War Warhammer games 😀
Interesting fact:
In warhammer fantasy battles / age of Sigmar (Total war warhammer 3 is FB) 5 Chaos gods, first 4 you know, the 5-th god is Horned Rat (or Horned) it's the god of Skaven (rat-human)
Their is a rat Skaven chaos god 😳😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yes-yes, Great Horned Rat is greatest of all Skaven! Most masterful of masters, all Skaven serve Great Horned One! (Mostly because none of them have figured out how to betray him and live yet). He's basically the most Skaven-y Skaven to ever Skaven, epitomising all the scheming, brutal, heartless backstabbing bastardry of their race, as well as their inventive madness, utter lack of care for anyone or anything but himself, and their parasitic nature that exists only to gnaw away at the foundations of everything others have built.
Honestly I'm torn between Grand Cathay and Khorne for my first campaign.
One thing's decided tho. Nothing will stop me from wiping out the Ogre Kingdoms first.
Haha, smart move going after the Ogres first 😜😁
Great Reaction guys, Adrián below already gave an amazing character synopsis below so I'll just leave you with this...
In the Nurgle/Slaaanesh armies reveal trailer, the Exile which is the man in the trailer was in previous Warhammer I & II cinematics. But I believe he was killed in Warhammer II.
Turns out his benefactor Tzeentch resurrected him & given that book. In the trailer, it turns out Tzeentch sent him to Slaanesh's domain to meet up with the Architect (the crab armed one reaching for him at the end) give him/her said book.
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to the Exile he was also included in this deal. Fortunately for him Papa Nurgle not wanting an alliance between Tzeentch & Slaaanesh intervened saving him from the deal.
Also I recommend watching Weshammer's videos they're short but super informative, some funny, some sad, all good.
You could make videos as short or as long as you want.
Should never make a deal with chaos gods. They will always be making it In their favor and you will always be included in every deal. Rookie mistake right there 🙃
Public Service Announcement: If you serve Slaanesh you're only allowed to have one boob. Choose wisely.
🤣
Well with most women one is usually slightly bigger than the others anyways so should be an easy choice 🙃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Lol
Wow great timing considering the game games out tomorrow! Already got it downloaded and waiting to go!
Nice! 😎🤟🥳
Hey guys, hope everythings going good. A new Star Wars: the Old Republic cinematic trailer just dropped, called "Disorder." Its about 7 minutes long, so it would make for a great Wild Card Wednesday video!
Thanks for the heads up! 😀🍾🥂
I don't care what anyone says about the "traditional" Warhammer factions, Miao Ying's intro in her trailer is the most boss-ass moment of any of the Total War Warhammer trailers so far!
"Supreme Matriarch of Nan-Gau
Master of the Storm Winds
Daughter of the Dragon Emperor!"
the thing about magic in the warhammer universe is that it's energy from the chaos realm, meaning everytime someone uses magic they can get corrupted by chaos
Magic always has a price 😈
Alright my response is prolly gonna be broken into two parts again so.... Bare with me! :P First post will be all the trailer stuff second post will be extra stuff to put it into perspective
1:08 - Kilsev is being assaulted by Daemons of Khorne. I'd assume you guys know this due to the 40k topics taht you guys have seen. The four faces u saw in the mirror were greater daemons representing the Chaos Gods, since the Chaos Gods themselves can't leave the warp and send their minions to do the work for them. Now heres a bit of interesting lore, The "ice" queen you guys mention her name is Tzarina Katarin and the cool part about it, is there isnt a whole lot of lore. We're both learning more about these characters together so to speak because her biggest thing was 1 turning Kilsev into an ice patch as was stated in the lore way back and 2 trolling grimgor ( the one guy that killed the gobbo ). Overall though, it was an intro trailer and a very good one to! As for the ending you guys were confused and rightfully so. The person who smiled at the end has really nothing to do with the trailer, what he did do was show us Grand Cathay. Meaning they announced Grand Cathay and all the haters who said here and said "NO CATHAY ISNT GONNA HAPPEN FUCK OFF!" Were just proven wrong. Milkandcookies explains this more a bit in his youtube video down below. All you need to do is watch the first five minutes and you'll get it
ruclips.net/video/MhlriuxlUa8/видео.html
3:50 - Kilsev male and the person talking has turned to chaos due to feeling that fighting chaos is hopeless and that Kilsev will never win. Chaos corruption has affected him and thats why his hands also changed to. The female wonders into a corrupted part of the world and sees a Khorne's Avatar standing before her briefly. Overall though, yeah the guy gave up and now serves chaos which is odd because in normal lore, kilsev knows its the buffer zone between the world and Chaos. Its why the Empire and High Elves ( mostly empire ) have helped them a decent amount. Everything ranging from cannons to extra foot soldiers to sending imperial officers and so on. Because overall Kilsev hasn't had much lore brought into light
6:18 - Enter the World of Kilsev is just show casing Kilsev and how awesome they are along with again making it clear they are indeed holding back chaos. However all enter the worlds are amazing tbh and really well done! :P Kilsev is also all about bears. One of their main god's is a bear and is worshipped. His name is Ursun and thats who she refers to in this trailer as well "the mighty bear god"
7:23 - Enter the World of Khorne is like the other trailers in show casing this faction and how cool they are. The person speaking is Skarbrand and hes the big dude flying at the end. He shouldn't be flying because technically Khorne already threw him across the warp for 7 days and 7 nights after Skarbrand tried to betray him due to Tzeentch whispering secrets into Skarbrand's ear. Now he is trying to gain the "love" so to speak from his "father" ( Khorne ) and is set out to kill and slaughter in his name. Also your jaw dropping moment is a Bloodthirster, we saw one charge the bear as well and keep in mind these guys are generally army breakers. In the second post ill explain a little more as well but mostly the characters who fight them :D
8:18 - Remember Grand Cathay as I said up above? This is them, and now we're both REALLY gonna learn more about them together. Because they only had a few foot notes in history and most of it came from the End Times. So what ure seeing is basically new to all of us for the most part. I mean art wise at least and some other stuff, Grand Cathay has been given a vague army description before, but nothing we're seeing now. In this trailer though who you see is The Storm Dragon; Miao Ying ( Brand new character ) facing off against Tzeentch's forces whom is lead by Kairos Fateweaver ( A very flushed out and well known character ). Miao ( Meow ) is the one speaking and letting us know that if their wall fails Chaos can very well take over Grand Cathay and its her duty to hold the line. Kairos Fateweaver is a greater daemon of Tzeentch much like bloodthirsters and you saw them way back in the cutscene in WH1 but Kairos has two heads instead of one. One sees the past at all times and the other sees the future at all times, but is blinded by the present hence why fighting him is very dangerous, but he can be defeated and has been defeated. As for prettiness, I mean Tzeentch has very pretty views and magic since he is the god of Magic along with change :P
11:13 - Enter the World of Grand Cathay, like the others its just to show off Grand Cathay, however whos speaking in this trailer is Miao's brother ( Dragon Emperor and Empress both had IIRC 7 children ) and this guy is named Zhao Ming the Iron Dragon. Again keep in mind Grand Cathay is new to us all because these characters have never been talked about and the lore ( what little there was ) has been rewritten, for example the Dragon Emperor acts more like the God Emperor of Mankind in the 40k setting when in old lore he was more like Sigmar ( who is based off of Canon and became a god among men and slaughtered tons of people ) However the Dragon Emperor is the eastern style of it, now this has changed and so on.
12:25 - Enter the World of Tzeentch as stated before its to make Tzeentch's forces look cool in which they do lol plus a killer music beat Xd. The vulture is the Lord of Change greater daemon that we saw in WH1 trailer in the beginning, but yeah Tzeetnch is all about magic and change and thats what we get lol. IIRC in one of your videos when covering the Chaos Gods in 40k you guys labeled him as "hes a giant douche" :P
13:25 - FINALLY!!!! OGRES!!! YES!! Btw there is a song of this on loop for an hour long and it takes out the burp at the end ( the burp is cool but when listening to it a bunch it gets annoying xd ) However the OGRES are similar to greenskins in that they like to fight, however theyve been cursed with endless hunger due to the fact the Dragon Emperor ( Grand Cathay head leader ) brought down a big warp stone meteorite right on top of the ogres landscape and completely fucked them up. He killed 2/3's of them IIRC. Now just to let you know the Ogres were created by the Old Ones the same guys who created the lizardmen in order to fight chaos, but they weren't fully complete and so had some flaws, but due to the mixture of wanting to fight and constantly being hungry thanks to the Dragon Emperor they are kind of a pest to well everyone similar to greenskins. However, they can be used and have been used as mercs to fight battles, yet the problem is they do cost quite a bit to whomever has hired them and they arent exactly reliable since they can break and so on. Although they are a funny bunch and their leader that u see in the trailer his name is Greasus goldtooth and was killed by Grimgor in a duel to :P. In the end times the maw and the waaagh were considered the same though, but now I dont think this will be the case and their lore is changing to from what CA has presented so far! Regardless they are funny bunch! :P However your reactions were priceless as you both almost had complete opposites at times haha
14:32 - Enter the world of the Ogres once more just showing off how cool they are a few units that caught ur attention was the stonehorns and those big ol beasts are known to be the ridden monsters for the Ogres especially Tyrants because they represent power and status kinda like dragons for High Elves and such. As for the little "gobbo" people theyre called globnars and they serve much like the goblins for the greenskins in the sense they got some decent brains and are fairly clever/cunning. Funny thing about them though is if an Ogre bites their ear, they are claimed by said ogre and are considered safe and off limits by other ogres, however getting their ear bit might lead to death cause the Ogre just might eat him funny, if they dont have a mark on their ear though they can be just eaten regardless, so its a very tricky situation. As for the fat bastard comment, that was solid lol hahah
15:41 - Slaanesh vs Nurgle! Now keep in mind Slaanesh's main rival is actually khorne and Nurgle's is Tzeentch's but these were the last two factions, so.... yeah they had them square off against each other interestingly enough lol. The two people we see is Ku'gath plaguefather and N'kari. Ironically N'kari is a new model as well. There's a few images and such, but what you see is also new to us as well so its very cool for both new fans and old fans to both be very interested in the fact we're getting new lore and models. Ill go over more especially N'kari in their own enter the world and in the second post ( which will be at the end because I got a feeling Ive already over typed as it is.) In the trailer though you get the feeling nurgle wanted and he did until the tome of change or fate was clung onto him and that caused an issue. Slaaneshi forces as u saw in the ruins do what slaanesh does, which is give u temptation and then kill u for it. Slaanesh is not a very nice faction nor god to serve for this exact reason. You basically get ur 15 mins of fame and once its over ure tossed aside and either killed or a nobody. Only the most famous characters do stuff that pleases Slaanesh enough to constantly gain favor and value but even they can fall out of glory within a heart beat. Nurgle, just wants to give u a hug and tell u its okay just help him spread the love. Remember that, nurgle is love :P. As for the "the hell is that?" That is a daemonette and they again come across as pretty until you basically look too close and they will kill you. The guy entered the realm of nurgle and it was prolly due to the fact he again is worshipping his enemy Tzeentch. At the end we see N'Kari and the guy that was laughing before that was Ku'gath.
18:46 - Enter the World of Nurgle and its again showing how awesome they are. So the fat fuck u saw that made u both kinda cringe is a Greater Daemon of Nurgle called a Great Unclean one lol. The other one that made u gag a little was a beast of nurgle as well, but remember in Nurgle's forces you can see they are all happy because again they feel no pain and overjoyed to spread his love. Hence why hes my favorite god despite how they look lol. The guy talking though is Ku'gath and we see him throughout the trailer and he is laughing as well, but yeah hes one of the major Great Unclean Ones that serve Nurgle is well known for his plagues as he caused plenty within the WHF setting.
19:48 - Enter the World of Slaanesh again showing off their forces and how cool they are. The person talking is N'kari and thats also who u see at the end. He is also a major character for the High Elf history and well has done some pretty crazy stuff, overall though he has lost to the high elves and elves in general a few times including Tyrion in who we saw in WH2. The one u saw standing and looking around along with that cat walk in the beginning are Keeper of Secrets and are the greater daemons of Slaanesh. The chariots are being pulled by steeds of Slaanesh which look very sea horse like indeed! :P
20:58 - This is a Daemon Prince, he unites the daemons of chaos in this trailer, but hes honestly Be'lakor and they should of allowed us to have Be'lakor instead at first and then revealed this guy, but they didn't and he basically fills in the role of Be'lakor which is to be the counterpart to Archaon whom is the Everchosen and generally leads the MORTAL aspect of Chaos while Be'lakor leads more of the DAEMONIC aspect of Chaos. Granted in lore Archaon is above Be'lakor, but still they usually go hand in hand.
Quick note, Warhammer is based off a Board game or a table top game so you're not wrong there. AS for the risk aspect, yes because WH is set up to basically be similar to risk, in fact the auto resolve functions similar to rolling dice, but not quite because it factors in a lot. However, much like risk the defender in the game usually has a garrison at least in cities and towns thus allowing the defender to have a high chance of winning, and ure overall statement is basically spot on.
THIS IS PART TWO REAL QUICK
So now you saw all the daemons, keep in mind here's some interesting facts
1 Grimgor came in last sec and drop kicked Grand Cathay and the Daemons over on the eastern part of the world pretty dang hard. He literally murked the Great Unclean Ones without an issue. ( so very impressive ) He also went to go fight Kilsev once but the Ice Queen literally sent him a big ol blizzard and either his army froze or they had to fall back due to soon being frozen haha
2 N'Kari is the Elves biggest threat, since Slaanesh has always wanted Elven souls specifically and N'kari is quite clever and even pulling off a few tricks that would of gotten him killed if it hadn't been for luck. One of them was that he was caught in the maelstorm we saw in WH2 trailers and basically waited there to reform again. Why this is a risk is because if he was found and detected if they attacked and killed him, he'd be gone because technically the maelstorm sucked 90% of the magic out of the world and N'kari ( I forget how ) found a way to somewhat dodge it and so on. He has been defeated though a few times especially by Tyrion and Teclis' dad ( also malekith's dad to ) along with losing to Tyrion and IIRC Telcis as well.
3 The Daemons you also saw Lizardmen fought them for hundreds of years and matched them every bit until the flow of the warp and chaos started to slowly creep forward which made the spell casting for the Slann very risky and slowly they started to die and their cities started to blow up from it due to miscasts and so on. I'd like to note some of those Greater Daemons like the Bloodthirster we saw in the first trailer, Gor Rok and Kroq-Gar have slayed said Greater Daemons before as well, so I hope that speaks volumes as well. Oxy ( the lizardmen guy with the blowpipe ) killed all these types of daemons for again thousands of years as well all while being stuck in the warp and was able to avoid the Daemons of Chaos hunting him for basically... ever until he returned to the normal world during the end times.
These are a few notes I thought might interest u guys, so I figured to mention them. There's a few more, but that's if you're interested in well, overall though. I loved ur reactions to the trailer especially the Ogres and Nurgle ones, they were 10/10 reactions along with the comments stated as well. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you guy keep making videos as they never get old! :P
This maybe could’ve been split into three parts even 😜 But thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge about all of this with us. Can see that you are fans of the ogres 😁 And appreciate the kind words at the end about 10/10 reactions and enjoying watching these with us. Next time we will aim for 11/10 for at least one of the trailers 😉😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ill aim for 3 next time while you guys aim for 11/10 reactions haha xD. Absolutely, you guys are amazing and there's very few youtubers who get as interested as you guys do when it comes to various games and I'm glad you guys expand on it all or as much as u possibly can within the short amount of hours we have in the day. Nevertheless keep up the good work! :P
Love your reaction videos :) you guys are awesome!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos ☺️🤗🥳
Fun fact: at some point in the old lore of Warhammer Fantasy, Nippon (fantasy Japan) clans were named after Japanese car brands.
Haha, really? 😂 how come? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames To be fair, that's actually a thing in real life. You know Honda? There was a real Japanese clan by that name and one of the most famous warriors in Japanese history was named Honda Tadakatsu. He supposedly went his entire life without ever having been wounded on the battlefield even ONCE, despite wearing a flashy set of deer antlers on his helmet and fighting at the front lines the whole time!
I highly suggest you react to total war Warhammer 3 all faction cutscenes/opening prologs intro.
Good rec! Added to our list 😀
The cool thing is that all the other factions that you watched in earlier episodes from Total War Warhammer 1 and 2 are still useable in 3, so you can combine all 3 games to have a Super large campaign where all the factions try to dominate a huge world. :D
That would be a long ass, and fun, campaign 😅🥳
*Leonardo Dicaprio points at TV*
"Candyland!"
3:40 its the Advisor from the Previous two games who will make his appearance again in the third.
i think it would speak to them more if we were to explain that it's the wizard they saw in the very first warhammer cinematic, when he's reading a book about each race, before starting to become more and more corrupted. And that he's the same person as the one carrying the book/tome in the cinematic with nurgle and slaanesh.
Yup. Wizard over advisor has us more clued in and remembering. Although Warhammer 1 first cinematic feels like ages ago even though it was only a couple of months 😂🤗
Yay, more Warhammer reactions from you guys! Wooooooooo!
😁🥳
You got check out some of the Total War battle shorts. They're so epic!
We will be checking out more Total war Warhammer 😎🤟🥳
It would be fun to watch you react to the introduction for the Legendary Lords for each faction in Total War Warhammer 3! Great video as always :)
We think that would be fun as well 😁😇
yay, so glad you did this one! i am so happy to try out Ogres soon (when i can afford the game) and the Cathay (human Eastern faction, with the dragons) that Chaos Undivided looks really cool too, i may check them out
Hopefully you’re able to get the game soon enough 🙂🤗
In regards to the daemon at 18:20... All four of the chaos gods have both a greater and lesser daemon type. That is a Keeper of Secrets, a greater daemon of Slaanesh. To be specific, that's N'kari, one of the greatest of the Keepers of Secrets in Warhammer fluff. The lesser daemons of Slaanesh are the Daemonettes. And yes, N'Kari has one mammary. That's because Slaanesh presents itself as male, female, or both, depending on its whims. So, its daemons (both greater and lesser) all have a single mammary on the right side. It sometimes gives its mortal champions one, too, as a sign of Slaanesh's favor. (And no, they're not hermaphrodites. As far as I know, N'Kari is male down below; daemonettes are, obviously, female.)
Seems like Slaanesh wouldn’t have any secrets to keep. Isn’t it all about just giving in to desires and what not? 🤔 Or does the demon keep secrets of humans and that’s how Slaanesh knows how to twist them to her side?
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Probably the latter. The thing to keep in mind about Slaanesh is that it isn't just lust (although that is definitely ONE desire, and the one it's best known for). It's right there in one of the alternate titles: "The Lord of Excess". It is the god of obsession, the Master of Excess in All Things, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. The finest culinary delights, the most beautiful art, the most sensual clothing, the sound of wood crackling in a fire, the taste of freshly cut fingernails? Anything can be an obsession. Anyway, without typing a wall of text: a Keeper of Secrets knows what your secret obsession is (hence "Keeper of Secrets"), and how to make it happen.
Not sure if you guys take suggestions (sorry if you dont) but there is some really cool stuff in the now released Total War Warhammer 3 game. I would highly recommend the video with all the different factions opening cinematic! Think theres a compilation of them all up on youtube
We always take suggestions and plan to eventually check out the intros for the factions in TWW 3 😀🥳
Out of the trailers playing the game and knowing the lore the Daemon Prince of Kislev is my favorite both lore and faction mechanic wise....like the reason he is the Godslayer when he was still mortal (human whatever) he shot and presumably killed Kislev's god Ursun
Daemon Prince was pretty cool 🤩
If you guys are still unsure about the dark gods, they're basically collections of human emotions and deeds
Khorne- rage
Tzeentch- knowledge
Nurgle- death
Slaanesh- hedonism
😎👍😈
Death isn't an emotion and it's not what Nurgle is about... He's more about living and dying. As soon as you die, you rot and your rotting body gives back to the living.
@@VollKaracho209 I also said deeds, nimrod! And he's more despair and hopelessness than anything else!
@@Long_Live_Metal English isnt my first language, so as far as I'm aware dying isn't a deed aswell. I also don't know what a nimrod is, so please tell me.
Back to topic: I've read 2 codexes of the Death Guard and the burried dagger. If you really want to tell me Nurgle is about despair we have to cut it right here.
@@VollKaracho209 Sorry. Us Americans call people nimrods when idiocy is showing, or when we get annoyed by them. I apologize. Back on track, death is a key part of mind within the human psyche, and the dark ones are collections of all human psyche, and as death is as old as time itself, Nurgle is therefore the eldest of the chaos gods in Warhammer fantasy. I am also completely aware of the life cycle in Nurgle's plane. It's literally a campaign feature for his armies in Total War Warhammer 3!
As everyone has mentioned, the trailers are character driven due to how important the characters of Warhammer is. In short, they're known as "Legendary Lords", and almost every playable race has multiple of these lords you can choose to start as. You can ally with and subsume/federate with other faction leaders of your same playable race, while for other races it depends a lot on what they are. For example, Humans and Dwarves get along well, but Dwarves and Greenskins do not. And while I say "humans", I mean The Empire, because there's multiple Human-centric factions, including the two shown in these trailers. Bretonia, The Empire, Kislev, Grand Cathay and the Trade Princes are the five human factions seen in the Warhammer Total War games and the Trade Princes are actually unplayable.
I wanna point out the guy we see at 3:40 and later at around the 16 minute mark is weirdly enough not a vital character, but at the same time kind of he is. See, in almost every empire, he is the Advisor that shows up to teach you how to play the game. It doesn't matter which race you play as, this guy tells you how to play the game. In one of the campaigns, its revealed he is a spy of Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Magic, Deception and incessant planning. Which makes sense for a character who goes to every faction and tells them who they should do battle with. But he has no name and doesn't exist in the Warhammer lore, he (like the whole Vampire Coast pirate faction) was made by Creative Assembly who made this game, not Games Workshop who made Warhammer in the first place.
So uh... Lets go over the factions here and do a brief description of all of them. This will be a lot more brief than my previous descriptions, as I've not played this game yet and I'm not super versed in Warhammer lore outside this game franchise.
Beginning with the Kislev faction: Kislev are the northern guardians of The Old World, the region where The Empire, Dwarves, Bretonnia, Norsca, Greenskins, Vampires etc duke it out. Kislev doesn't care about the politics of the Old World, they only care about their endless war against the Chaos God of Rage and Warfare, Khorne. As you can tell, they're inspired by good ol' mother russia and folktales/myths surrounding them. War bears and ice queens and oh my.
Wouldn't make sense not to talk about Khorne next. Not much to say about any of the Chaos God factions, they're the warriors of that specific Chaos God. Khorne's faction relishes in battle, but rest assured, a servant of Khorne is never going to stab you in the back. It will be done from the front. Repeatedly. Until your face is pulp. Probably.
After that, it jumps on over to Cathay: Grand Cathay is based on eastern asian tropes and myths and legends. I know less about these than Kislev, but apparently they value something called Harmony, which is likely going to be a unique thing for them in-game that you have to balance out as you play. On the world map of the Warhammer world, if the Empire is in the middle of the map, the High Elves would be to the west, with the Dark Elves and Lizardmen further west from them. Grand Cathay would be to the East of the Empire, so all the way opposite. Though I guess, if it is an actual world map, Cathay would be fairly close to the Lizardmen if you head further east from Cathay.
Now, the typical enemy of Cathay would be Tzeentch's forces. As a chaos god, Tzeentch is a meticulous schemer, the God with a Thousand Plans. Everything that happens, no matter how convoluted, can be attributed to Tzeentch's schemes in some way, as either direct result or accidental side effect. He also doubles as the God of Magic, because Magic can be manipulated and Tzeentch will manipulate ANYTHING. It's a weird stretch honestly. I think a more proper explanation is that effective use of magic requires incredible intellect, and Tzeentch + followers are ridiculously smart.
After this we see the Ogre Kingdoms. The Ogres are rightly disgusting, but they are also brutally efficient. They lack in the intelligence department. What little lore I know of them says they SHOULDN'T be stupid, because they were artificial creations meant to fight the Chaos Gods, but the project to create the Ogres failed or didn't finish up, and so they came out "half cooked" and their intelligence is what they're missing. They DO have a rageboner for Chaos forces however, but they're also mercenaries who will fight anyone for coin. They'll even work for the Chaos forces if paid enough. At least some of the dumber ones will. In any case, Ogres despite their comical appearances and behaviors are terrifying foes to face on the battlefield. On the world map, they're smack dab between the Empire and Cathay.
And next we've got Nurgle and Slaanesh. I dont need to say much about these. Nurgle the Chaos God of Decay, his faction is obviously disgusting. Slaanesh the Dark Prince of Excess, the Chaos God of Pleasure and every teenage boy's favourite, because they dont understand the true horror of this Chaos God. To quote Slaanesh herself: "Excess in all things". ALL. things. Pain. Pleasure. Food. Battle. Weaponry. Mutations/Corruption. Desire. Jealousy. No matter what it is, you should throw yourself fully and wholeheartedly into it even if it kills you. Especially if it kills you. Like the Rakdos guild of Ravnica in Magic the Gathering the goal is to have one hell of a party. Hell being the operative word.
Finally, the Chaos Undivided faction, where you play as a Demon Prince (Daniel). This is... honestly incredibly awesome. Only one other Total War game has had a customizable legendary lord character for multiplayer, and that's Shogun 2, my favourite Total War game. I'm ridiculously happy they've introduced this feature and playstyle. I'm just sad the customizability is ONLY for this faction. Every other race is still restricted to the usual item system, which while decent, feels a bit lacking sort of. Anyway, Chaos Undivided is the four Chaos Gods all putting their support into a single entity, that being you the Demon Prince. The more you honor your gods, the more powerful you become. I love the concept.
Also obviously the Daniel name is hilarious and a joke name. Nobody sane would call their Demon Prince something as mundane as Daniel, when clearly Bob is the superior name choice. Get ready for a LOT of memes about horrifyingly powerful demons with ridiculously simple and unassuming names. RUclips videos titled "Jeff slaughters 10,000 Kislev soldiers" and silly stuff like that.
Thank you for following this franchise through all the way. Obviously there will be more cinematics, trailers etc in the years to come but for now, you've seen and reacted to just about everything they have available and seen all the different factions that will exist in Warhammer 3. Fun fact: Those of us who own Warhammer 2 and/or 1 will get all of our available DLC characters in Warhammer 3 as well, and that begins to count up to a truly ridiculous amount of playable characters. 50+ at this point with more to come.
We hadn’t realized this is the first time the champion is customizable. We just assumed that was always the case. The Daemon prince and chaos undivided is looking better and better to us 😀 Thanks so much for sharing all this knowledge with us 🙂
I’m just hoping for some good old times names like Joyce or Reginald 🤣 although Bob works too
Glad to see you guys reach this point, the epic finale of the entire series.
There will be more DLC trailers down the line though
Yup. And we will be all caught up by that point so can take them as they come. 😀 How often do they generally come out? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Depends on the company and how the worldwide pandemic goes. Sometimes DLC can take a few months to half a year to come out but there were times where DLC came out faster but it was during the early years of one of their games
@@TheRadude Glad to see you here, also thanks for the reaction DND :)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames they come out like 1-2 dlc about each 3 months sometimes earlier or longer.
Legit got popcorn for this video alone!
Love it. 😎🤟😋😀🥳🥳 🍿
Did anyone notice our favorite SPACE MARINE??? 4:38
These reactions are so good.
Glad you enjoy them 😀
Im personally on team nurgle because he's the only one working for isnt guaranteed to end up being eternal torture at some point sooner or later. Gotta play the long game.
Smart 🙂
Well it’s exciting to see how y’all react to the trailers of the game. I am really hyped for tomorrow to play the game. The trailers were excellent as always imo, I really enjoyed the Game 3 reveal trailer which was the first one, the second one called Trial By Fire, and finally the Chaos Undivided were all cool. I remember seeing them for the first time and felt just as hyped for when I saw the Silence and the Fury beastmen dlc trailer.
Funny enough the third game in the series (this one) has the most beginner friendly tutorial/prologue of all the games.
Anyway nice to see others find some interest in this stuff. Glad to see y’all had a good time.
Thanks for letting us know this one has a friendly beginner tutorial. Hope you are enjoying the game 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I am indeed having fun. I was up at 2 am when the game release and yeah it’s got some issues here and there but they’ll be ironed out soon enough.
Here is the reaction video I was waiting for...
😎🤟🥳
