"I'm going to go hunting Mannfred von Carstein." "Are you bringing an army?" "No, just a single battalion of halberdiers." "....Morr have mercy on you."
This is actually based off of the lore, they knew it was a Von Carstein, but not Mannfred specifically, it could have been a minor vampire, they were wrong.
Certainly the best trailer for a specific faction we've had so far. I mean, there were dwarves fighting zombies. There were undead legions, a great vampyric monologue over their battles, and even an undead dragon... It was intriguing, creepy, and a good little snapshot of the story. And there were bats, giant bats...and one of them looked like it came right out of a clown's asshole. What's not to love?
+lcmiracle Well, according to the lore; Imperial tax collectors from Stirland often come to Sylvania to get their due (as the Empire sees it as being part of that County), although always with a sizable armed escort. I suppose missing collectors and other strange happenings would warrant the attention of the Witch Hunters. Saying that, this one should've either brought a larger army, or none at all so he could pass relatively unnoticed.
It's well crafted and at least there are good guys that you can root for unlike 40k where everyone and everything is fcked up which is why I don't care about any of the characters there. But here its nice to have good and bad sides and being able to choose
+Marek Kubica +Oliver Svensson While the Empire, Dwarves, Brettonia and High Elves are marginally more good than Chaos, Greenskins or VC, they all have some really shady stuff going on. Brettonia is a fine example: while the nobles are chivalrous and honorable, the oppression of the serfs is so over-the-top that it can easily rival any 40k Hive World's insane social stratification. And the High Elves do have benign intentions, but they are extremely arrogant and haughty about everything. HE are still more "good" than their Craftworld Eldar cousins, but not by much. This extends to the characters themselves. Karl Franz, for example, is often portrayed as a good man, but the Window Tax Riots debacle proved him a tyrant with pretensions of nobility.
+lionheartx10 I hope this is the true lionheartx10 any way's, I don't know, I gave it so much hype that I wanted to play the counts. But it felt like something was missing, something was off. it must be the way they had the undead the armor is the same the zombies attacking the dwarves are the same. It's like they rushed this faction. I don't know about you but I might go with the orcs or dwarves in this one or maybe chaos warriors if they get a better trailer out to see new units.
+eltiket they dont have to worry about upkeep because they raise the dead of there enmys so your army can actually get bigger for every city you burn or every battle you win so in away its a good system. So yeah 10/10
SlyBiffrons that would make sense but I cant see how economy would work for them unless there infantry dies in like 10 seconds and it take tyranid like zerging to win as them
+hugothester CA are known for their amazing trailer, let us wait for the launch and the full game itself, Hope that my flying dragon will feast on some flying horses as well* epic scene
***** Good to hear that, but still not going to preorder, if the game really worth playing i wouldn't mind paying for the DLC; since companies that make good games deserve support ( at least by my standarts )
+hugothester Absolutely I love Varghulf detail he is massive :O and Vargheist at the end is even better, My two fav. TT miniatures sight of them modeled and animated makes me very happy :D
Reminder that this bald jerk Manfred was responsible for Warhammer turning into Age of Sigmar...and for a ridiculously petty reason...DURING THE FINAL FIGHT NO LESS!
+Maciej Bohn I know it's GW and the writers who did it, but I will be wiping this arsehole out with glee for what he did. I mean, Chaos is Chaos, it's in it's nature, as disgusting as that is. But Vampires are humans who are just pure evil. Weird how I hate them more.
+Sun Jetzu maybe its because of the long wait and small teasers, but i agree that this trailer got me really excited. the models look great, the animations look awesome, and there's a hint that maybe a resurrection mechanic that may be used on the battlefield that's also got me excited. Total war you have given me more hope for this game. thank you.
MrAgnosticman I agree, this make me even more confident in their ability to come out with a finished polished game. Especially since they have an extra month.
Sweet mother of mercy... you can resurrect the dead soldiers! I shall lead the Vampire counts into glorious combat and take the Empire as my own. From the ashes I will make a new Empire of Death.
+KamikazeeGecko Preorder->game+ chaos dlc for 50 bucks buy after launch-> game + dlc for 60 bucks Conclusion, preorder for free dlc. Idiots like you should stop using words they don't understand.
+Andreas Hauschild Which is just what the used car-salesman tried to tell me - 'hey, I have someone one the line wanting to buy it Right now! If you just buy it over the phone with me before anyone has had a chance to see it I'll cut you a deal! I promise it is good, some of the cars I have sold before were, trust me!'
Monkey Realms yeah I know, I just meant the way the cinematic is done and the speech also I'd say by the time the series got to 3 the lore was expanded enough to differentiate itself from warhammer
+Demetrius900000 I expected his voice to be a bit like this, after he went total warmpire (I'm on fire here). He doesn't look human enough to have the voice of Dracula.
+Demetrius900000 Just because his voice is deep, does not denote lack of cunning... that's simply the most ridiculous assessment. Many of the demons are manipulative devious asshats... but to be devious you must have a soft spoken snake voice? Shush.
Ruben de Roode Oh yeah, I m not much of a campaign players but yeah it s strange ! They give reasons in a blog post, some are good some arent... Futur will tell us if it s funny :)
Le Bon Saucisson The entire lore excuse is just one big lie, though. The Vampire Counts have taken over so many Dwarven Karaks. I think they were just lazy.
Jeyger It's a fully kitted (equipped with best items) Vampire Lord which is as strong in close combat as a Chaos Lord but additionally also has magic and can heal himself ^^
This vampire lord is equal to an Unseen Elder which is a witcher cant handle 1v1 , Geralt can be a backdoor soldier or a special unit in this fight, but lesser vampire that he can handle as your say.
+The Warmonger Actually, magic in Warhammer is described quite thoroughly on the wiki. What we don't understand are the perameters for being able to manipulate the Chaos Energies filtered through the natural world itself. At least, not in its entirety.
You see, dear Geralt, I only wanted to gather enough forces to stop Chaos. And the peasants are more than happy to dwell in mine realm, for blood tax is easier than gold tax and they don't have to serve in the army too. WTF are you doing here anyway, when Chaos destroys Prague?
+Skaylor what ? No, they look nothing like in Attila. To be honest, they look like the best sieges they have made yet. Problem with it : You cant trust CA. The reality could be really dissapointing.
+Wolfe B only good seige battles without alot of functional issues CA has ever made was shogun 2 IMO. They circumvented the issue by having units be able to climb up walls, which was pretty functional.
Is it my impression or have they redone the Empire infantry to resemble more german-like soldiers and less "Conquistadores" like was shown in the battle of Blackfyre Pass? If so, congrats to the team!!
Hodgie Bronson Wha? You don't like the new Space Marine Thunderwarrior Sigmarites? Pffff. A little bit of flashy-thingies was all Warhammer needed. . . :P
+Robert Lachance At the end times when they had beaten Chaos' armies into the ground and were trying to destroy an artifact Archaon had tried to use to destroy the world; they tried to get Mannfred to control one of the winds of magic with them; but instead of doing so he stabbed one of the heroes in the back because he didn't want to live in a world where he was Nagash's servant. Then he got stabbed by an Elf's sunsword and died and because they couldn't control the winds of magic the artifact did its job and devoured the entire world in a chaos rift.
James Miraballes they are called zombies in warhammer, at least in the rulebook... humans and dwarfs may call them something different in game im not sure
+wildboy789789 it's kinda wierd using the word zombies in games that has lores like this but if the rulebook says that it is a zombie then I'll use the word zombie. thanks for the clarification sir!

+MIKI BUKA Funny... :| You know their DLC practice isn't about skimping on content, but adding it, right? Most publishers do far more horrendous things. CA just adds content. Chaos was gonna be DLC whether you wanted it to be or not. You get 4 races and a ton of gameplay with the base game, so these jokes ceased to be amusing a long time ago.
+thewolfpack Who cares? If people like it let them be happy. I have pre ordered and don't mind it a bit. They need to give people a reason to pre order, and they did.
+Szarekh The Silent King Why do people need to pre-order? Sure there's an argument to be made if we were to talk about physical copies, but is that even a thing these days?
+thewolfpack So games like ''Shadow of the horned rat" and ''Dark omen'' are incomplete in your opinion? Because those games didnt even had a mention of Chaos.
"make your vampire armies what they are destined to be. make your fallen enemies fight for you in the exklusive "raise the undead" dlc for just 7.99!!'
+123456gordon actually they are, the walls as well. check out the CA dev blog, they said, that there is only one big wall in sieges, which is so massive, u can deploy troops like in a field battle. the streets and the cities at all are much larger as well
Huh. Based on the video I wonder if you'll be able to use low clouds as cover or hiding places for air units, like forests for ground units. That would be an interesting mechanic.
Don't read if you haven't watched all Game Of Throne seasons... At 3:15 " these corpse will make a fine addition to me army" reminded me of the army of the dead scene on Game Of Thrones where the whitewalker brings all of them back
+Zacfawstea It's called ripping out the most important nation in the game and selling it as DLC. It was announced over 6 months (now more like 8) before release. We got the army list before the Vampire Counts for crying out loud (that we still don't have yet)! It is literally like they tried to sell Rome as Preorder DLC in Rome 2, or Europe in medieval 2. THAT is why people are mad. Maybe if you weren't tongue deep up CA's rear, you would understand it.
I don't think Mannfred's voice actor was a great choice. He's more of a sharp-tongued, courtly type. The voice here is too deep and lacks the sense of morbid humor that you can expect from him.
dewiowen1 Exactly. He's thuggish and too much of a brute force guy in general. Mannfred stood for subtlety, schemes, intelligent use of arcane might, though he was also an excellent duelist. This here strikes me more like the mad count Konrad von Carstein (minus the insanity/schizophrenia).
+Timothy Bucket You know what, that's a great shout. Archaon is all hyperbole 'doom and destruction' in his capacity as Lord of the End Times, so this voice and dialogue would suit him quite well.
I really just hope that if an expansion is to add Nagash into the game, he'll be voiced by Ramon Tikaram. As trashy as Age of Sigmar is, his performance in the audio dramas was outstandingly chilling. Speaking of the audio dramas, the actor they chose for Mannfred there would've been a good pick for the game too.
+Jaboll252 Why would you not want it to be a cinematic game? I think his point is people want to see some more pure gameplay. These trailers literally show you nothing about the gameplay itself.
+alal vey Because I want to play a game, not watch a movie. I'm sick of games that concentrate on cutscenes and "cinematic" experience instead of actual gameplay. His point was that he felt "pity" this game won't be as "cinematic" as this trailer.
+Jaboll252 I doubt there will be much in the vein of 'cinematic experience', considering its a Total War title. *Maybe* some cutscenes for major events, which would be cool IMO. But yes gameplay first and foremost
+Tomahawks and Timebombs in table top if the unit lose battle - they just ruin into dust - not running if moral test is failed. But now is shitty age of sigmar. i can not speak for it
+Johannes Hjortshøj if u kill the vampire caster or necromancer the army will start to fall, and u will win... if u don't attack the vampire u will be overrun with a massive army... its that simple
+NormandySR5 I haven't played in a while, but in the tabletop, didn't they crumble when broken instead of rout? That would be cool to see in the game too
***** I didn't like Mark of Chaos all to much. I saw some screenshots and thought it was like a Total War game except smaller. When I played I died a little. All my hopes for the game were shattered.
Kami Guru Same here. I would prefer Heroes Of Might And Magic: Total War, but a properly done Warhammer game would be awesome. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
+Alexander Coty At this point I'm starting to hope that once they are done with the warhammer trilogy, Sega is forced to sell CA to someone who will actually allow them to make a game for the fans rather than the money (despite the fact that the two things go hand in hand). Let's hope they don't alienate so many of their fans that they go bankrupt before then, ey?
Loved the trailer but those green units like at 1:19 look so off, i know it should look like ethereal units but they just look like horsemen that got splashed with paint
"I'm going to go hunting Mannfred von Carstein."
"Are you bringing an army?"
"No, just a single battalion of halberdiers."
"....Morr have mercy on you."
and swordman
Prob Scouts
This is actually based off of the lore, they knew it was a Von Carstein, but not Mannfred specifically, it could have been a minor vampire, they were wrong.
@@JesLen-lo1zi quien sería el cazador?
Yeah, 'true an rightful ruler of the Empire.' Vlad called, he wants you home by midnight or no blood slushie tomorrow.
"the undead fear nothing"
Finally, a unit that won't piss its pants and run
Instead they just instantly die lol
Certainly the best trailer for a specific faction we've had so far. I mean, there were dwarves fighting zombies. There were undead legions, a great vampyric monologue over their battles, and even an undead dragon... It was intriguing, creepy, and a good little snapshot of the story. And there were bats, giant bats...and one of them looked like it came right out of a clown's asshole. What's not to love?
And eight years later, we have dwarves fighting daermons alongside the Empire, with a dragon overhead
For the first time in more than 20 years, i´ve seen my beloved Vampire Counts come to life. thank each and everybody that works in this game.
+David Paredes Mata
You mean UNlife.
Sorry, i am picky.
Still a better love story than twilight
+Pixelated Apollo whats up with you guys stealing each others puns and jokes?
+Pixelated Apollo any chance you will do a Vampire Counts walkthrough?
+Pixelated Apollo DURR PLANT DURRR PLANT PLANT FDURRRRRRR
+Wisecontra Gio The whole scene was just Mannfred's way of courting the Witch Hunter. Poor bloke tragically doesn't understand love
+Pixelated Apollo Ahah x')
What kind of a witch hunter is stupid enough to march into Sylvania? Who gave him that hat?!
+lcmiracle Well, CA is responsible for both of those issues.
+lcmiracle Well, according to the lore; Imperial tax collectors from Stirland often come to Sylvania to get their due (as the Empire sees it as being part of that County), although always with a sizable armed escort. I suppose missing collectors and other strange happenings would warrant the attention of the Witch Hunters. Saying that, this one should've either brought a larger army, or none at all so he could pass relatively unnoticed.
+lcmiracle The hat, surely is a miracle...
+lcmiracle Someone who wants him to be dead :p
Spartiateism So it's all just as planned...
...

CREEEEEEEEEED!!!!
That is a really well made trailer ! hats off to everyone who worked on it .
I love how dark, dangerous and f*cked up the Warhammer world is.
It's well crafted and at least there are good guys that you can root for unlike 40k where everyone and everything is fcked up which is why I don't care about any of the characters there.
But here its nice to have good and bad sides and being able to choose
+Marek Kubica Good guys? What are you talking about.
The only ones i root for is Kislev and the County of Averheim.
And even they are not so "Good"
+Tojetaj Nikolic The high elves, they might be a bit arrogant but they are not evil.
+Ted Brogan 40k did coin the phrase "grim-dark". Fantasy is the better world IMO
+Marek Kubica +Oliver Svensson
While the Empire, Dwarves, Brettonia and High Elves are marginally more good than Chaos, Greenskins or VC, they all have some really shady stuff going on. Brettonia is a fine example: while the nobles are chivalrous and honorable, the oppression of the serfs is so over-the-top that it can easily rival any 40k Hive World's insane social stratification. And the High Elves do have benign intentions, but they are extremely arrogant and haughty about everything. HE are still more "good" than their Craftworld Eldar cousins, but not by much.
This extends to the characters themselves. Karl Franz, for example, is often portrayed as a good man, but the Window Tax Riots debacle proved him a tyrant with pretensions of nobility.
I have such a shity computer that even the trailer lags
+Wisecontra Gio pretty sure he's jokin
Spooky Forest...Check
Creepy Von Carstein Voice...Check
Graves...Check
Wraiths, Banshee's, Undead...Check
Vampire Counts are a GO!
Saintphoenix Definitely sets the tone, nice and dark, certainly want to lets play Vampire Counts :)
+Easter Bunny Generic detractor....Check
+lionheartx10 I hope this is the true lionheartx10 any way's, I don't know, I gave it so much hype that I wanted to play the counts. But it felt like something was missing, something was off. it must be the way they had the undead the armor is the same the zombies attacking the dwarves are the same. It's like they rushed this faction. I don't know about you but I might go with the orcs or dwarves in this one or maybe chaos warriors if they get a better trailer out to see new units.
murmaider check
+Texasman You are saying "the same" the same as what? what are you comparing it to?
-Wants to conquer the world. Can't occupy a single city.
10/10
+eltiket they dont have to worry about upkeep because they raise the dead of there enmys so your army can actually get bigger for every city you burn or every battle you win so in away its a good system. So yeah 10/10
+eltiket Not really. The vampires only want a source of living human servants. Hence why they can only conquer human regions.
+eltiket sorry enemies*
SlyBiffrons that would make sense but I cant see how economy would work for them unless there infantry dies in like 10 seconds and it take tyranid like zerging to win as them
+David Nevelo Orks are generally 40k. Greenskins or Orc is proper for fantasy.
This looks fantastic guys, the effort put on the detail is amazing in this game, great job.
+hugothester CA are known for their amazing trailer, let us wait for the launch and the full game itself, Hope that my flying dragon will feast on some flying horses as well* epic scene
Namer The Carthaginian Berber I tried the game at London, I can´t say much yet, but I can assure you the game is absolutely amazing ;)
***** Good to hear that, but still not going to preorder, if the game really worth playing i wouldn't mind paying for the DLC; since companies that make good games deserve support ( at least by my standarts )
+hugothester Absolutely I love Varghulf detail he is massive :O and Vargheist at the end is even better, My two fav. TT miniatures sight of them modeled and animated makes me very happy :D
Namer The Carthaginian Berber I am all for not pre ordering if you have doubts, wait until you see the gameplay videos, you will be satisfied ;)
That voice acting is dope
Reminder that this bald jerk Manfred was responsible for Warhammer turning into Age of Sigmar...and for a ridiculously petty reason...DURING THE FINAL FIGHT NO LESS!
+Maciej Bohn Yeah, because the writing is his fault
+Maciej Bohn I know it's GW and the writers who did it, but I will be wiping this arsehole out with glee for what he did. I mean, Chaos is Chaos, it's in it's nature, as disgusting as that is. But Vampires are humans who are just pure evil. Weird how I hate them more.
+Wanderer628 Probably because you can't blame the chaos for being well... chaos. But you can blame vampires for being pure evil.
jesus people...its just a game >__>..
They are undead.
Just remember, the undead has no morale penalty. So they cannot be routed nor broken. Keep that in mind when fighting the count's army.
They also cause fear in warhammer fantasy. In age of sigmar they are my favorite team
+Logan Haga we do not speak about "age of sigmar"
And they do not cost anything for the dead have no needs and wants (like food, rest or f**k)
+Logan Haga One, it's called a faction not a team. Two, that 'game' you mentioned is an abomination. Three, they are my favourite faction as well. =)
+Adyprima Nigraha keep in mind if you kill the general you will prob destroy the army
IMO This is by far the BEST cinematic trailer for any Total War game.
+Sun Jetzu for sure!!!!
+Sun Jetzu maybe its because of the long wait and small teasers, but i agree that this trailer got me really excited. the models look great, the animations look awesome, and there's a hint that maybe a resurrection mechanic that may be used on the battlefield that's also got me excited.
Total war you have given me more hope for this game. thank you.
MrAgnosticman I agree, this make me even more confident in their ability to come out with a finished polished game. Especially since they have an extra month.
The Siege looked fantastic for the few seconds it was shown.
"The shadows betray you, because they belong to ME".
Ah this looks so awe...!
"Pre order now to receive Warriors of Chaos DLC for free!"
Your name remains within the Great Book of Grudges.
+MidnighWolf Same reaction,Wow so cool,a siege,Manfreed,dead dragon,DLC.........Well there goes my smile.
mannfred looks like Anthony Hopkins when he smiles xD 2:29
+PCGaming Anthony Hopkins would be a great pick to play Mannfred in a live action movie
Isabelle Rayth Indeed
+PCGaming Although in a somewhat pleasing irony, Anthony Hopkins once played Van Helsing.
Matthew Charman That he did. :)
+PCGaming He really does xD
Sweet mother of mercy... you can resurrect the dead soldiers! I shall lead the Vampire counts into glorious combat and take the Empire as my own. From the ashes I will make a new Empire of Death.
Those guys will make for some great Halloween specials!
+HeirofCarthage Hopefully, they will cut their Chaos DLC bullshit.
+HeirofCarthage are you gonna do a video on this, this trailer makes me want to pick vampire counts now, I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!!!!
+TheElholm Agree! Why make it a DLC. There are other things that could have been DLC-ed
You can "count" me in ^v^
+PrinceofMacedon I like what you did there
Brown nosed and ready I assume?

Stupid Pyromancer. Those guys are the epitome of Derpy.

That Bright Wizard's a senior, and his pegasus can't help with its flight derpiness. Respect your elders, fools!
Hi Guys ,I will be the Ai programmer on this one no worries
A video that doesn't have a billion dislikes?
Surprising.

+Alvaro Ruiz Exactly
+Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus No worries, the dislike club will take it down!
+Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus give it time
+lesROKnoobz
I disliked your dislike club.
THIS...was actually pretty damn awesome - good job CA
Wait, "Pre-order to play as Chaos warriors for free"? That's gotta be an oxymoron.
+KamikazeeGecko Well its pre-order the game and get the dlc on release instead of get game on release and pay £20 for the dlc
+KamikazeeGecko not really as you'll have to pay for them once the game is out, but yea, that's actually an odd statement
+KamikazeeGecko well no, because you don't actually pay extra if you pre-order...
+KamikazeeGecko Well... I'm sure they hope someone is a moron. ;P
+KamikazeeGecko
Preorder->game+ chaos dlc for 50 bucks
buy after launch-> game + dlc for 60 bucks
Conclusion, preorder for free dlc. Idiots like you should stop using words they don't understand.
I really hope that green mist effect shows when you fight as them. it looks pretty cool.
Raise dead confirmed!
Just a friendly reminder that you have to pay extra cash to play as Chaos warriors :D
+Botmin Actually, no you dont if you preorder.
+Andreas Hauschild Which is just what the used car-salesman tried to tell me - 'hey, I have someone one the line wanting to buy it Right now! If you just buy it over the phone with me before anyone has had a chance to see it I'll cut you a deal! I promise it is good, some of the cars I have sold before were, trust me!'
+Hypno Kitten well in that case sign me up
+Hank Fistgun people are more attracted by trainwrecks...if anything this gave more attention to this game.. a free advertisement if you will
+Hank Fistgun people are more attracted by trainwrecks...if anything this gave more attention to this game.. a free advertisement if you will
hands down best trailer so far
serious warcraft 3 vibes
+Rabbid Warcraft is a Warhammer rip off. Or at least was until WoW expanded the lore a bit.
Monkey Realms
yeah I know, I just meant the way the cinematic is done and the speech
also I'd say by the time the series got to 3 the lore was expanded enough to differentiate itself from warhammer
About time:p Great trailer!!
Still a better love story than Twilight.
That voice is more suited for Conrad or some chaos lord. Mannfred is subtle and intelligent - the voice didn't show that.
+Demetrius900000 I expected his voice to be a bit like this, after he went total warmpire (I'm on fire here). He doesn't look human enough to have the voice of Dracula.
sejemandhaha Dracula is Vlad. Mannfred is cunning and neurotic - this voice shows none of that. He's a brute here.
+Demetrius900000 Just because his voice is deep, does not denote lack of cunning... that's simply the most ridiculous assessment. Many of the demons are manipulative devious asshats... but to be devious you must have a soft spoken snake voice?
Shush.
+Demetrius900000 the fact he is an ancient vampire has more to do with his voice than how he ticks, they nailed it.
He's in his raw vampire form and not trying to blend in with humans.
I think this is the best Total War trailer yet!
+Incoherencel The best trailer, yes. But I have little hope for the game.
Le Bon Saucisson
I'm mostly worried about the fact that you're not able to control the entire map
Ruben de Roode Oh yeah, I m not much of a campaign players but yeah it s strange ! They give reasons in a blog post, some are good some arent... Futur will tell us if it s funny :)
SerNotSoBraveAlot of the Scared Easily Guild
Sadly they won't allow you to use mods in total war warhammer.
Le Bon Saucisson
The entire lore excuse is just one big lie, though. The Vampire Counts have taken over so many Dwarven Karaks. I think they were just lazy.
"I am here, mortal."
Took your sweetass time.
Best trailer so far ^.^ I am so excited to play the Vampires.
+Jeyger I really hope we can make blender lords like in the tabletop!
I am not super familiar with the tabletop, what is a blender lord??
Jeyger It's a fully kitted (equipped with best items) Vampire Lord which is as strong in close combat as a Chaos Lord but additionally also has magic and can heal himself ^^
K
That was pretty damn good, but you are not redeemed for your antics with Chaos.
Do you think SEGA cares at this moment wether they are evil or not?
Nope.
+Metall im a noob when it comes to Warhammer but do the Vampires Serve Chaos? or do they hate eachother?
No.... chaos serves the vampire counts when they raise up chaos dead
James Jackie Vampires despise eachother, and they don't serve chaos.
.. most of the time.
i know a Witcher who will kill the vampire for a coin if you are interested.
Yeah....von Carsteins are no joke.
This vampire lord is equal to an Unseen Elder which is a witcher cant handle 1v1 , Geralt can be a backdoor soldier or a special unit in this fight, but lesser vampire that he can handle as your say.
+The Warmonger Actually, magic in Warhammer is described quite thoroughly on the wiki. What we don't understand are the perameters for being able to manipulate the Chaos Energies filtered through the natural world itself. At least, not in its entirety.
You see, dear Geralt, I only wanted to gather enough forces to stop Chaos. And the peasants are more than happy to dwell in mine realm, for blood tax is easier than gold tax and they don't have to serve in the army too. WTF are you doing here anyway, when Chaos destroys Prague?
Imagine that when you click Isabella, and she starts singing "Wolves asleep amidst the trees..."
2:28 "You think darkness is your ally?" Ahh voice
Empire state troops actually look like the models, without all those stupid looking shields and morions, best video so far.
Fooking sallets and bascinets. :D
"Hiding beneath the mountains? For the dark is my realm"
Not much of a realm if you can't occupy it, huh Von Carstein?
I just started building an Undead Age of Sigmar army so this couldn't be better timing. I can't wait to Bass Drop on fools as Manfred Von Carstien.
+Cerberusarms You are far from home man of Node
+Cerberusarms You mean Age of Shitmar?
+Cerberusarms Flee Fool ! Age of Sigmar is not welcome in the land of Warhammer !
+Cerberusarms Age of SIGMAR? What is this blasphemy??! BURN THE INFIDEL!!!
Once again age of skubmar divides neckbeards
Well, if this doesn't get any likes, I don't know what will!
yay it's finally here! You even included gameplay! Outdone yourselves here :D
Guranteed siege battles won't function like advertised here.
+Wolfe B To me the siege battles look the same as Attila to be exact, only with magic and monsters.
+Wolfe B what ? this doesn't even look like an improvement over Attila mate .... this is actualy how siege battles look like in the total war series.
+Skaylor what ? No, they look nothing like in Attila. To be honest, they look like the best sieges they have made yet. Problem with it : You cant trust CA. The reality could be really dissapointing.
+Wolfe B only good seige battles without alot of functional issues CA has ever made was shogun 2 IMO. They circumvented the issue by having units be able to climb up walls, which was pretty functional.
Is it my impression or have they redone the Empire infantry to resemble
more german-like soldiers and less "Conquistadores" like was shown in
the battle of Blackfyre Pass? If so, congrats to the team!!
That witch hunter was fearless to the end,
FOR SIGMAR!!!!!
the video is awesome but your not redeemed
+The order they are...
You're
+Andre Felder They were until the "pre-order to play as chaos for free" came at the end of the video ...
Antiteshmis so? Preorder ftw
Yeah we still dont know IF IT will be balanced
Everyone on the internet right now: Oh thank god it's not DLC too.
3:00 Karl Franz has a direct line of descent to Sigmar though, so...
+Hamza Changazi a VERY direct line after End Times :P
Kaldros Astelan Shush. We do not speak of those.
+Hamza Changazi I guess you're one of the people who didn't like The End Times?
+Hamza Changazi This man speaks the truth! Speaking of such things is heresy, blasphemy and ushers in the taint of chaos, all at once.
Hodgie Bronson Wha? You don't like the new Space Marine Thunderwarrior Sigmarites? Pffff. A little bit of flashy-thingies was all Warhammer needed. . . :P
It still blows that you have to pre-order to get chaos
+Zachary Jackson No you don't you can buy it on the first week after release and get Chaos
Just add an option to painting armies and take my money;-)
+Michal S or even an option to put my own flag to the faction i am playing
Why not:)
Gonna need a lot of calcium (2spooky)
I'm sorry Mannfred, but you will never be cooler than Vlad
+Luca Napolitano Well, Mannfred did 'technically' destroy the world...
+Janus Caine I haven't read all the lore so it's entirely possible i missed it. When did Mannfred "technically" destroy the world?
+Robert Lachance At the end times when they had beaten Chaos' armies into the ground and were trying to destroy an artifact Archaon had tried to use to destroy the world; they tried to get Mannfred to control one of the winds of magic with them; but instead of doing so he stabbed one of the heroes in the back because he didn't want to live in a world where he was Nagash's servant. Then he got stabbed by an Elf's sunsword and died and because they couldn't control the winds of magic the artifact did its job and devoured the entire world in a chaos rift.
Pavel Volkovoi if that's true tyan yeah the whole worlds basically dead.
"Pre-order to play as Chaos Warriors for free" That doesn't even make sense, greed has warped their minds.
+blacc beard eh thats what the refund is for in steam though lol
those hordes of undead that the dwarves were fighting were so freaky.
+James Miraballes the zombies :) they just let catapults bounce off them lol
+IvO09 zombies are mainstreams lol. and I think the humans and dwarves don't call it zombies in their world :/
James Miraballes they are called zombies in warhammer, at least in the rulebook... humans and dwarfs may call them something different in game im not sure
+wildboy789789 it's kinda wierd using the word zombies in games that has lores like this but if the rulebook says that it is a zombie then I'll use the word zombie. thanks for the clarification sir!
James Miraballes no problem :) it was weird when I first saw vampires, I was like really? a race based off Dracula? lol
Still one of the best faction trailers to this day
Türkler buraya, VAMPİRLER AVI BAŞLADI!!!
+Atilla The Great BURDAYIZ ABİ XD
+Atilla The Great Abimiz Haklı siz daha portakalda vitaminken biz kont drakulayı kazığa oturmuştuk be .(siz kim köpeksiniz)
+Junker At the very least, don't speak the most disgusting language on the planet.
Ooga Booga!
+Junker I would correct you but after what you lot have done to it, it isn't English anymore...
(Please note that this is satire Dr Serious)
2:50 - Surprise Troll doll
+Flying Spectacles XD It has a hint of slayer
1:18 this shot is so funny to me. Bro looks like he's just walking down the street on a casual sunday morning.

+MIKI BUKA You seem to have commented on the wrong video. This isn't the Crusader Kings 2 trailer.
At least Crusander Kings has the content
+MIKI BUKA HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL
+MIKI BUKA lol CK2 has a bunch of more small dlc just for minor improvements. Go type on their youtube not here.
+MIKI BUKA Funny... :| You know their DLC practice isn't about skimping on content, but adding it, right? Most publishers do far more horrendous things. CA just adds content. Chaos was gonna be DLC whether you wanted it to be or not. You get 4 races and a ton of gameplay with the base game, so these jokes ceased to be amusing a long time ago.
Incredible, simply incredible!
Hey CA's marketing team made a good trailer for once!!! yay!
+Corey Garner Now if they could just get the AI working and we might actually have very, very enjoyable game to play.
I just wanted to remind people of the "chaos" incident. Day 1 DLC: Chaos. Just that you don't forget it.
+thewolfpack Who cares? If people like it let them be happy. I have pre ordered and don't mind it a bit. They need to give people a reason to pre order, and they did.
+Szarekh The Silent King Why do people need to pre-order? Sure there's an argument to be made if we were to talk about physical copies, but is that even a thing these days?
Alexander Kleinkopf
Yup, I think that is valid comparison. Warhammer without Chaos is indeed Batman without Batman.
+thewolfpack So games like ''Shadow of the horned rat" and ''Dark omen'' are incomplete in your opinion? Because those games didnt even had a mention of Chaos.
i look forward to protecting the empire from these numerous evils
That's settled im playing as the Vampire Counts
Thanks for the reminder at the end.
I think this skinhead guy and witch hunter will be good friends!
Cooool.... Now about these wood elves we haven't seen yet....
+mike oxlong They've never said there's going to be wood elves in the 1st game....
+mike oxlong oh nobody cares about wood elves, be a fan of a better race.
+mike oxlong i hope they didn't actually loose time developing/creating wood elves for the first game lol.
+mike oxlong DLCC
+mike oxlong Did you really delete those replies?
"make your vampire armies what they are destined to be. make your fallen enemies fight for you in the exklusive "raise the undead" dlc for just 7.99!!'
+Mordred1337 Hilarious and original.
+Mordred1337 This joke is getting a bit old =p
+Mordred1337 Joke for only 7,99€ preorder now
+Mordred1337 why not :P at least they are finally making the game. Waited 16 years for this.
+Luring Lion when they stop doin cut content it we'll stop making jokes about it :)
If that's the look of a empire city/ siege battle, holy smokes! It looks Incredible! ;D
Great, cities look much bigger in this game, really hope they actually are...
+123456gordon Lol, good luck with that.
+123456gordon actually they are, the walls as well. check out the CA dev blog, they said, that there is only one big wall in sieges, which is so massive, u can deploy troops like in a field battle. the streets and the cities at all are much larger as well
+dacka9274 where can i see there blog ?
they dont :)
Witch hunter was still the biggest bad ass :D
Just saying .
+Sam Leduc i really wanted the vamp to to feed on some guys during the battle... or at least act more beast like.
Watch this trailer auto pre order . Why ? Its God damn Undead is back ! Hype over level 9000 . Who's with me ?
+Reza Wolfgang I'm not because first I want to be sure the things I hated about Rome 2 (and Attila) are gone ;-)
+Reza Wolfgang Meh, still not preordering.
+Reza Wolfgang i'm try to pre-order since it start but i'm changed my mind , but now i'm re-think about this genes.
+Reza Wolfgang I will just buy it cheap off kinguin after launch, I wanna know if the game is any good, I still feel the burn from rome 2
+nooneherebutme and Shogun 2. And Atilla.
Carthage Siege In-Engine Cinematic Trailer also looked awesome))))
Huh. Based on the video I wonder if you'll be able to use low clouds as cover or hiding places for air units, like forests for ground units. That would be an interesting mechanic.
3:06 a fine addition to my collection
Don't read if you haven't watched all Game Of Throne seasons... At 3:15 " these corpse will make a fine addition to me army" reminded me of the army of the dead scene on Game Of Thrones where the whitewalker brings all of them back
Man I was really enjoying that video until 3:32
+James Fairbanks just dont think of it just think the last 20 sec is black
+James Fairbanks MAN I WAS SO MAD until I looked in my steam library and saw I own chaos race for free
+James Fairbanks It's called marketing, go to college and maybe you'll understand it
+Zacfawstea It's called ripping out the most important nation in the game and selling it as DLC. It was announced over 6 months (now more like 8) before release. We got the army list before the Vampire Counts for crying out loud (that we still don't have yet)! It is literally like they tried to sell Rome as Preorder DLC in Rome 2, or Europe in medieval 2. THAT is why people are mad. Maybe if you weren't tongue deep up CA's rear, you would understand it.
fitzitz234 Cry me a river. If you got so much sand in your ass about this go protest CA's headquarters. Or just spend a couple bucks for a race pack.
I don't think Mannfred's voice actor was a great choice. He's more of a sharp-tongued, courtly type. The voice here is too deep and lacks the sense of morbid humor that you can expect from him.
+TheDarkChaplain Completely agree. He's too demonic and bluntly hostile here, needs to be more of an arrogant aristocrat with veiled threats.
dewiowen1 Exactly. He's thuggish and too much of a brute force guy in general. Mannfred stood for subtlety, schemes, intelligent use of arcane might, though he was also an excellent duelist. This here strikes me more like the mad count Konrad von Carstein (minus the insanity/schizophrenia).
I agree. I think it would have been a great voice for Archaon. Not so sure about Mannfred.
It is pretty intimidating though, I'll give it that.
+Timothy Bucket You know what, that's a great shout. Archaon is all hyperbole 'doom and destruction' in his capacity as Lord of the End Times, so this voice and dialogue would suit him quite well.
I really just hope that if an expansion is to add Nagash into the game, he'll be voiced by Ramon Tikaram. As trashy as Age of Sigmar is, his performance in the audio dramas was outstandingly chilling. Speaking of the audio dramas, the actor they chose for Mannfred there would've been a good pick for the game too.
Your lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection.
Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death
Fantastic trailer - pity the game itself is nowhere near that cinematic.
+Robyn How come? Have you played it?
+Robyn Good. I want to play an actual game instead of another interactive movie, which seems to be a trend these days.
+Jaboll252 Why would you not want it to be a cinematic game? I think his point is people want to see some more pure gameplay. These trailers literally show you nothing about the gameplay itself.
+alal vey Because I want to play a game, not watch a movie. I'm sick of games that concentrate on cutscenes and "cinematic" experience instead of actual gameplay. His point was that he felt "pity" this game won't be as "cinematic" as this trailer.
+Jaboll252 I doubt there will be much in the vein of 'cinematic experience', considering its a Total War title. *Maybe* some cutscenes for major events, which would be cool IMO. But yes gameplay first and foremost
Give us skaven!
Ok, now bring back the old city management system and controls.
+REDPOWERable No.
+REDPOWERable They should at least bring back the old recruitment system
+REDPOWERable controls? you can customize controls yourself, stop being lazy.
Gnome Chomsky how old r u?
I take it the skeleton will be weak with unlimited moral? If not, scrap this, I refuse to the undead run because they are afraid to die.
+Tomahawks and Timebombs I think it clearly says: "... the undead fear nothing..." 2:06
+Tomahawks and Timebombs Undead OP flanking confirmed.
+Tomahawks and Timebombs pretty much every unit should have unlimited moral i mean the trailer literally said we fear nothing
I know the video said it, that is why I am going to be pissed if they run from the battle like cowards.
+Tomahawks and Timebombs in table top if the unit lose battle - they just ruin into dust - not running if moral test is failed. But now is shitty age of sigmar. i can not speak for it
I just watched it so many times now. Just for the music and Mannfred's speech
atleast its not DLC. i'm very proud of you CA! keep up the good work!
Spooky
+MasterofRoflness great vids man. watched your new vid of battlefleet gothic just now lol
+PREDX99 great moves man
Everyone, be careful not to praise this too much or CA will make it DLC!
No they won't
+Edric Vaurnheart Only Chaos ofc and pretty much everything else.
+Edric Vaurnheart too late
"Your corpses will make a fine addition to..."
*excited greivous noises*
"... my army!"
*disappointed greivous noises*
I was so hyped i kept replying the video even though i was at 0:20
Still the best Warhammer Total War trailer imo
I hope there is no morale system applied to Vampire count, just like in the board game.
+NormandySR5 They'll probably have something close to it. Orcs have the war-thirst one.
+NormandySR5 The skeleton units will be weak as hell to compensate.
+NormandySR5 By that same count(No Pun intended) I hope that the rule about the necromancer being the choicest of targets also applies.
+Johannes Hjortshøj if u kill the vampire caster or necromancer the army will start to fall, and u will win... if u don't attack the vampire u will be overrun with a massive army... its that simple
+NormandySR5 I haven't played in a while, but in the tabletop, didn't they crumble when broken instead of rout? That would be cool to see in the game too
Looks a lot like the Warhammer: Mark of Chaos intro.
+Nikola Tasev It does wow!
+Kami Guru This one has better ending, though :)
***** I didn't like Mark of Chaos all to much. I saw some screenshots and thought it was like a Total War game except smaller. When I played I died a little. All my hopes for the game were shattered.
Kami Guru Same here.
I would prefer Heroes Of Might And Magic: Total War, but a properly done Warhammer game would be awesome. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
Look CA, we get it, you're sticking with the chaos DLC, but you could at least stop sticking it in our faces at the end of every video.
+Alexander Coty At this point I'm starting to hope that once they are done with the warhammer trilogy, Sega is forced to sell CA to someone who will actually allow them to make a game for the fans rather than the money (despite the fact that the two things go hand in hand). Let's hope they don't alienate so many of their fans that they go bankrupt before then, ey?
Loved the trailer but those green units like at 1:19 look so off, i know it should look like ethereal units but they just look like horsemen that got splashed with paint
