You know things are bad when the Grey Seers risk their own lifes. That's how bad Nagash was, the Skaven sacrificed themselves to see him dead. Godzilla threshold indeed!
I always thought of Nagash as the evil counterpart of Sigmar, having powers beyond a normal that makes him a god in a literal sense, while Sigmar is basically a superhuman treated as a god for creating the Empire of Man.
And this is why I and many others consider Nagash to be the ACTUAL big bad guy of the setting rather than the chaos Gods. Chaos just is what it is, it's like a force of nature encomposing good and bad things alike that will likely always exist in one form or the other - Nagash on the other hand was an ambitious magalomaniac who wanted to rule the world simply because he wanted to and he almost succeeded.
Nagash is more of an actual evil villain than anyone from Chaos IMO
Hey everyone, I have a shitty idea. Let's put the Tomb Kings, IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
The adventures of Settra, confused dead guy in charge of an absurd amount of dead, spoiled and confused people. The only thing they can all agree on is that chariots are fab.
Somehow you can say they are as good as you can find in Warhammer, they accept living people, they don't bitch to much and do genocides, they are just chilling while doing scary skeleton walking
@@sadenar2719 Spooky Scary Skeletons! :)
Nagash's story continues to be interesting, just in case anyone wants to know in the comments - Nagash eventually came back to life AGAIN, and fled to the lands of the Old World, where he ran up against Sigmar Heldenhammer, the legendary founder of The Empire. He called his vampire students to aid him, but they decided that they didn't much feel like putting their lives at risk facing a man who is essentially Conan The Barbarian on crack, and refused. Nagash was killed again, but before he died he cursed his worthless students to be vulnerable to the powers of Sigmar, as well as fire and water. This is why the Vampires of the Old World are especially vulnerable to the prayers of Priests of Sigmar and have the traditional vampire weaknesses against fire and running water.
-The More You Know(tm)!
I would really rather feed meth to my Conan, than crack. To make him even more deadly. Your mileage may vary, though.
Thanks to all those Nightgoblins out there cultivatin and sellin drugs.
@@lazaruslong697 idk that crack will give ya instant psychosis. My best friend has 20 first names now but only 2 last names. And no middle name. Poor bastard.
Sigmar prayers can be understood, and weakness to fire too. But how did he come up with weaknes to running water
Arch reminds me of Herodotus - selecting his preferred sources and telling an interesting history
Listening to this again after 6 years because I'm in a Tomb Kings mood. Hearing Arch from the before times is like going back in time. This is actually the first Vid that got me into this mad scholar and truthspeaker.
Can you imagine having a really powerful ruler of undead, who also have such massive respect from his living people, that they gladly go to war along with him. And as they get stabbed in the heart, or get an arrow to the head. They die like normal people... However, they do not fall. But rather swing at the now pretty surprised enemy.
If there is one thing End Times did right, then it was making Settra even more badass.
Settra The Imperishable. Settra The Incorruptible. Settra The BEST.
Not to mention Khalida and Neferata going out with dignity.
I think that was probably the only thing I enjoyed about the End Times.
SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE, SETTRA RULES.
ok boyz, we passed 2k already.... so as a treat i figured i would let you all vote on what faction i am to play "next" in Call of Warhammer. I will run that alongside the Reikland LP with 1 episode a week until i am done with Reikland but it will be a nice long 1h episode. My only restriction is no elves, cuz i am horribly HORRIBLY racist. Vote here strawpoll.me/4317166
Arch Warhammer Good ser. Would you mind doing a thing on Skaven lore? Regardless of the fact that they are not going to be in the game (initally)
I find your voice quite relaxing to listen as a background when im playing some other games.
Arch Warhammer SKAVEN!!! I will be VERY sad if Total War decides to not put them in... Though totally understandable considering much of their territory is technically right underneath the entire world, mostly the Empire. Still, they have MUCH to offer the game
Nicholas Kindig If the Skaven were added, I think they'd be some kind of event, like the black death or Mongol invasion, were they attack from random places within the Empire/World Edge Mountains.
Sadly you are probably right, but as my favorite race in Warhammer I want to be able to PLAY them!
Arch Warhammer Now I'm a new guy on Warhammer, I knew of it but haven't spent much time on it. However as of late I've been playing both CKII and Total war with Warhammer mods, and I was thinking doing the Stromfels* pirates.. Just a hope there.
I just realized something....the Necrons are the 40K equivalent to the Tomb Kings.
So evil scelitoid robotic killers were actually evil scelitoid Egyptians
hopefully they dont get the scelitoid axe like tomb kings did lol
newcrons yes. Oldcrons no. The necrons actualy got a preety big lore and look retcon to esentialy make them tomb king in space, but they used to be a different beast entirely. Me personaly? I like some of the persobality they got, but I also loved my emotionless life hating killing machines, and it would be nice if they weren't gigantic tomb king ripoffs without the badass (let's just say that none of the new characters of the necrons come even close to the giant titanium balls of settra or the majesty and noble-snake-paladin-vamprie hunter queen khalida). A 50-50 reboot of the necrons for my money, made all the sadder now that the evil egyptians got squated out of fantasy and the only evil egyptians left are either a bunch of emo nerds (minus the one tragic fallen paladin among them that still kicks ass) or a bunch of skeltons without the badass but with one genius level troll among them.
Well.. have you seen the new necron models? they're egyptians lol.
Oldcrons were just Terminators IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
Newcrons are Tomb Kings IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, with some Terminators IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! still in there.
Dark elves did not learned necromancy to Nagash, but dark magic (dhar). And then Nagash created Necromancy by mixing Dhar and Shyish.
what is shyish? is it like a shy sauce?
@@Plankensen The Wind of Death
Holy shit, this lore is amazing. I love that the Skaven saved the day.
SpyMonkey3D If the orcs saved the day would care as much?
Slaggedfire
Nope. Simply because the Skaven seems smarter/ overall, better than the Orcs ? I mean, the Skaven had to plan, build an awesome weapon, and infiltrate the base to do that. I don't see any Orc doing that. Orcs would have launched another frontal attack, and if they succeeded, then it would just mean Nagash was really really careless.
And there is the whole conflict Skaven vs Nagash and his army, would have the Orcs lasted that long ? Or even been interested to continue the fight for that long, or even begin it ?
Orcs just don't fit in this story line.
SpyMonkey3D
Skaven fanboy grimgor could take the lot of you puny rats.
Slaggedfire Uhhh, yeah. I'm not a skaven fanboy, I'm not even a Warhammer player, I just started to discover the universe with the annoucement of the total war game, and started watching this video, and mostly for the Lore.
+SpyMonkey3D My favourite part of this is that no one else in the Warhammer world knows
Nagash raised 10 skeletons to down vote this video.
make it 41 skeletons
I believe that would be 41 Sigmarite witch hunters actually.
Settra is really angry now! And don't look at his bandaged majesty, you slaves! :D
I always enjoy unlikely "alliances" in warhammer, if you can call the Skaven giving a warrior king the deadliest weapon on the planet that literally kills its user an alliance.
I think Arch is a little biased towards the Skaven...
It is the faction he played in Fantasy, not entirely surprising.
Fake news
He quite literally said sqeak xD
Willard lives!
@@sadwingsraging3044 Yes... look at the rats.. 🐀
*"well tell them to get the fuck out my office!"*
I can't believe you accurately predicted the DLC
1 way i could imagine the tomb kings replenishing the tomb guard is by performing the embalming process on fallen enemies. Imagine a structure in a tomb king controlled city being specifically tasked with embalming the various races and producing new tomb guard.
Controlling undead has always been a special love of mine, starting from my necromancer in EverQuest. I imagine I will look forward to these guys in whatever expansion includes them.
Yes-yes manthing-thing, the rat clan-clan thank you for this squeak-praise
+FurorTeutonicus *Feeds the rat some cheese*
+rhemorigher
Does rat-rat ear-hear you correctly? Does it have-have warp stone? Give it to me so I may see-see!
FurorTeutonicus "No warpstone ya git, just sum day-ree for ya. Take it or eye'll send da boyz on yous."
"And so they could be considered loyal...as far as loyalty goes, amongst the undead."
wtf was the logic behind them not killing nagash?
"damn, this guy insulted us and our religion the most extreme way possible and now we catched him. How do you guys think we should repay that to him!"
"i guess putting him in prison should teach him a lesson."
"good, and what do we do about his servants?"
"Murder them all!!"
+Kaknamenuss I think he just escaped and evaded capture, rather than getting locked up.
I think the issue they had was 'Okay, we want this guy dead, but we need to make sure it STICKS. Let's lock him up while we try to figure out how this works."
@@benlubbers4943 Could also be a fact that he was a royal. Killing off royal, especially member of ruling dynasty, could be problematic in the best of times.
Tomb Kings! my favorite Faction in Warhammer!
I have to say, the tomb kings seem to tie into a lot of the other races. Thanks a bunch for all of these videos. I have watch every single one so far and started with zero knowledge of warhammer, it is quite a interesting world. I look forward to watching your future videos. Cheer!
My all-time favorite army in warhammer. They are absolutely beautiful to play and look at at
i like the idea of a Living and Undead mixed factions.
especially if you can incorporate units from living factions you incorporate (imagine Dwarves, Dark Elves, or even Goblins marching alongside Skeletons.)
6:07 "loosely" Yeah sure Arch...sure....
River mortis...... rigamortis
Rancidtunip how do you miss that?
Guess it just streamed past him.
Man Had A shity night at work came home fuckin wacth TKs army,lore vids feel muuch better Thx.Cant wait for TotalWarhammer.
+Little Devil If the Tomb Kings will be present (which is unlikely for a time, seeing as the campaign map doesn't include their lands at all), they will be a DLC that will come WAY away in date. And even then at best..as some form of expedition or wtv? Which would be kinda against lore...I don't know. Seems unlikely.
I love these old warhammer lore videos. They have a charm about them
"Cetra the unperishable"
Ah yes, the Tomb King with no best before date.
Oh boy, it is that time of the year once again :)
It is the time where creative assembly release a new faction and I revisit the lore video Arch made for that faction before total war: warhammer even came out :)
Lazereye57 Me too my dude
"Ever loveable and fluffy Skaven"
Nice one. I enjoyed it, as always. I'm beginning to get hooked on your lore-vids, really chills me out while gaming. At the same time, they are interesting from both a total war and a warhammer perspectrive. For me, being an old-school total war gamer, this is a great opportunity to get informed, to get in the mood for the upcoming game and to just...well, chill out. I also do have a new favourite adjective: "Bat-shit-insane". Thank you, Sir!
Very well done, you managed to guess pretty much how CA chose to implement the Tomb Kings into total Warhammer 2.
No recruitment or maintenance costs, but availability of simple units tied to your city buildings and caps on more exotic ones based on specific buildings. Oh, and the number of armies themselves locked away behind researching of dynasties.
Looks like an interesting expansion DLC.
Very good video. It shows you've been doing your homework on this.
10/10, would watch again.
"it won't be as long as My other lore videos".
*Proceeds to make a 43 minute video*.
Yup, i subscribed for that kind of resolve xD
Vampires, in my Egypto-land? More likely than you think.
peter jackson needs to make a movie of warhammer and do it justice
THANK YOU!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After the hobbit movies, no thanks
Hobbit movies weren't awful, but as long as he isn't SUPER cgi heavy. Like if he had Mannfred it would be makeup and that would help. I didn't like how so many orcs were cgi instead of makeup unlike the Lotr movies. I feel like a Warhammer movie series could work. Maybe with Karl Franz as the hero?
+Duke of Italy they probably couldn't find a lot of people that wanted to be orcs
James Adams why not it's money and a lot of it. People loved the lotr movies and they had plenty of orcs
Great vid as always Arch 👍
I just realized these guys are essentially the fantasy equivalent to the necrons
albeit very different but the closest thing, really
no, the necrons are the 40k tomb kings in space. The tomb kings existed as a fation way before necrons were even created. And the necrons started their life as essentialy an army of emotionless machines that only wanted to destroy all life to destroy chaos. Then they got a massive lore and look reboot that turned them into a ripoff of the tomb kings in space. 40k is not the originator of everything and fantasy the spin-off, in many cases the reverse is true.
oh and just as an aisde: the tomb kings are far more badass than the necrons, their special characters beat the crap out of the personality pose of the necrons any day of the week in regards to their history, traits and actions in the lore. Then again, the glory that is Settra beats EVERY character, 40k and fantasy, in badasstitude. Yes, even the 30k primarchs. The only other person in any warhammer lore that can hope to match settra is the big E himself, and even there settra wins because big E had to be a giant hiperevolved psychic beeing with god-like powers, while settra was nothing but a resurected man. (I refer to the fact that in the end times settra is offered everything by the chaos gods (his vengeance on nagash, glory riches, a perfect kingdom etc etc) for the price of serving them, to which settra respond by taking the power they offer and then turning around, giving them the middle finger and swearing to destroy them personaly for DARING to ask servitude of him. To give settra's defining quote: "Settra does not serve! Settra rules!". Naturaly since no other character can be greater than big E (who went begging for power from the chaos gods and pretended to sell his soul only to then run away with the power), settra was removed from the new age of shitmar)
"a very rare miscalculation cugh cugh" XD
first lengthy lore video I have watched, loved it,
People: Once you go black you never go back
Nagash: Hold my beer
I hope CA watches this video and consider your ideas for tomb king mechanics.
Brilliant my good man, simply brilliant.
hi arch, here to prepare for ttw warhammer 2. Big fan, you are my best youtubers.
Tomb kings in AoS are still a great faction. Thanks for the cool content.
Why are the dark elves always the ones to fuck things up?
Rush4in Because they are the most evil and wicked race in the entire world. The Daemons of Chaos are evil, but their sort of evil is inhuman and elemental, it's not like they're the sort of thing that could choose to do good and avoid evil. It's their *nature*, where the Dark Elves are evil either by choice or as the result of being brought up in a culture that actively encourages sadism and wickedness (the creation of this culture was itself just the extension of Malekith's will, meaning its existence is mostly his fault too).
CantusTropus "Аз не сакам мене да ми е добре, а на вуте да му е зле." This is a really nice Bulgarian saying meaning "I don't want to live well but my neighbour to live poorly." I think it represents the dark elves pretty well actually as instead of aiming on making the world better they destroy it.
Rush4in you mean "making their world better by destroying other" right ?
jealousy as it finest i guess :P.
Because they're the dark elves
Essentially schadenfreude on a global scale.
Neat.
posting from 2018 you called it sir good job
Best Lore Vids... PLS A NAGASH LORE !!
how were the 8 kingdoms of nehheenhhhhaaaarhaaaa called again?????
Anchoret89 Obvious troll is obvious. :D
Rush4in I didn't hold back much. eh ??xD
Anchoret89 No, you didn't. :D
Going back and listening to old lore vids, all I can think is arch sounds dead and sounds like he’s reading a textbook. Glad he’s put more energy and fun into in his current videos.
Love it when you call the skaven "lovable and fluffy" (cuz it's true)
Wow, you do love your Skaven don't you. You just seem so passionate whene you talk about them.
6 years later the story of Nagash and the Best-Greatest Bois is told : D
Great video! Would love to get my hands on some of them model
Nice video !
i love your channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've gotta say, the Tomb Kings seems like a potentially fun nation to play in a total war game, especially with the idea of rebuilding their empire and eventually expanding upon it while having 2 really different ways of doing so
100,000 subscriber! you deserve it :) great videos man!
Yes-Yes Bone-Things go boom-BOOM!
And there I was hoping for a Dark Elves video :-(
but oh well, Tomb Kings are a great faction too because in reallife the old Egyptians are my favourite ancient civilization, and so this certainly was a good video again ;D
Schwanzus Longus I will be doing the elves nexts then the beastemen for last probably.
Arch Warhammer That's good to hear! Though to be clear I'm happy about any video you upload, it's just that High Elves and Dark Elves are my favourites ( yeah I'm lame I know ;D) .
Good job Arch. You predicted it.
Just bringing it up, but mummification was actually a pretty common thing for at least most Egyptian citizens, not nearly as extravagant but it was usually for all who could afford it. The process would be similar, but the embalmers would use basic methods like dumping the body in salt and just scooping out the guts before returning it.
I can imagine this man describing this to a scribe
Very unique faction! They really aren't the typical undead faction who is just a nonsense to everyone else in the world.
Soo, the Greatking ordered to slay all living, but tolerates the city were living are as well. My question is how they even got there. They couldn't have been there before or the spell would've killed them, right? Or was this a former part of the empire and was then reclaimed?
Michael L. Might also be desert nomads who wandered into the area during the years when it was unpopulated and are now settled there.
+Michael L. As far as I remember lore-wise..not all of Nehekhara were raised by Nagash, as some managed to flee in time and survived. And once Nagash was done with - returned to their lands.
You sound like a mix of Elrond and christoph waltz. But younger.
Arch I must know, what's the music you use in the background of these Warhammer videos?? It's very chill and I must obtain it. :D

Awesome, thank you. :)
These desert dwelling corpses would make great cannon fodder for my own armies of the undead
Does this mean that there are still living "khemrian" people living in Numas thousands of years after Nagash destroyed Nehekara?
Sort of? The people there maintain their temples and offer up their dead to the Kings, check out 35:10
What heroic skaven, sqeak, brilliant even.
Loving your videos ! Can't wait for warhammer total war hope it doesnt fail like warhammer online did :'( :D
Fabulous video, have watched it several times since you released it! Just one thing though, and a nitpicky one at that, there's no year zero in the Gregorian calendar. The calendar goes as follows: 2 BCE, 1 BCE, 1 CE, 2 CE. It's stupid as hell and also messes up basic counting; ten years prior to 5 CE isn't 5 BC, but 6 BC! :P
Cheers from the rather atheistic Sweden,
JellyKobold
my first lore video and still the best i seen from arch the music fits well and how many of archs videos do you see lore of 1 faction and it is the skaven who win in the end
Well, integrating the living and establishing nobility among the living would make the armies actually replenishable (albeit on very long term), as well as adding living auxiliary.
My brothers and Sisters! i recommend the Bookseries 'Rise of Nagash' from the time of Legends. Classic warhammer's grim-dark mood, the story is a lot of up's and down's, with a huge free-fall in the end. I just loved those books, and i highly worth the read
every time he says Negash i think of heroes of might and magic
There's a land in my books that has a name like nagash,I always think of it
hey arch can you do a lore vid on Arraby? or Nippon?
And the "Chinese" faction as well. Sorry, I forgot the name.
+Juan Paolo Datu Cathay, you mean?
+Mutsuhito Yamato yes thank you.
No problem.
Honestly I follow the version present in the current TK Armybook and the Nagash Trilogy, that the firstborn sons of the Kings of Khemri were given over to the Mortuary Cult while the secondborn inherits the throne.
It would be greatly appreciated if when you are talking about areas on the map you highlight them. Or circle them. Fairly easy to do when editing the video. Many of us have no idea where your talking about when you listed all those cities and locations.
Arch what do you think about the whole "last chance to buy Tomb Kings" ?
I fear for the Wood and Dark "Aelves" now.
Well, it came true, I really hope GW burns down and the only thing that they find in the ruins are the molds.
I think it's dumb. Tomb Kings were one of my favorite factions. Skeleton army that are good and advanced
Good news from the future!
TOMB KANGS ARE COMING BOIIIS
Nice video
Yay! Dark Omen main villain backstory!
39:30 Make Khemri Great Again!
I know they've made the DLC already... (and I'm loving it!!! And will love killing everything with it!) but the idea of the living among the dead would be useful for the creation of more living dead. I mean, what do the living do? They breed, live and die. Making them a source of replenishment to the undead armies. They can assist in the rebuilding and cleaning of the land (possibly even the rivers).
Tomb Kings don't raise the dead, though.
Not in the sense that the Vampire Counts do. They take soldiers from the graves of the..well, Tomb Kings and raise their bones.
Any slain Tomb King soldier will eventually just reconstruct itself, too, which makes the Tomb Kings more or less undefeatable lore-wise.
The Tomb Kings would literally be the only undead faction I'd love to play. Especially if they are mixed with the living. Oh and have that one Sexy Queen as a LL
I'm pretty sure the skaven transported fellblade in a big lead box
Those Ideas For The Tomb Kings Do Sound Really Good, Another Idea Could Be They Start Human And Then They Over Time Turn Into The Tomb Kings We Know Today, Don't Know If Anyone Would Be Interested In It But To Me That Is A Must Get Expansion Either Way!
Wood Elves have been recently release and it is seems a little likely the Tomb Kings will play close to their style; both in battle and campaign. (with some flavor here and there, like chariots)
it has been confirmed that there wil be 2 more expansions that will add parts of the map so i think we will see tomb kings
hm, I read somewhere that everyone in khemri reanimated with all their free will and mind. to me this makes them more terrifying and unique than any other undeads, a massive army of undead utterly loyal to their kings not just brainwashed, soulless beings... guess that was different thing
Overall, great summary of the TK fluff.
But I have to point out, Alcadizzar's final fate. After he killed Nagash, the weight of everything he lost shattered him. He fled with the Crown of Nagash into the wastelands around Nagashizzar and died alone, unmourned and forgotten. His body and the Crown was by a shaman of a crude human tribe, who took the Crown for his own and buried Alcadizzar in a cairn, recognizing him as a great king even if he didn't know who he was.
And I must say your idea about implementing the Tomb Kings into Total War is sounds really cool. I would love to see that implemented.
AkatsukiBoss13 This bit of lore exists to set up the Orc warlord Azhag the Slaughterer, who's supposed to have found Nagash's crown and been driven slightly mad by Nagash's spirit kind of sort of possessing him.
Have you ever considered to make videos about real world history, or talk about historical events and/or cultures throughout history? You have the perfect voice, pacing and humor to make those kind of topics seem very interesting.
I agree but we have Crash Coarse: World history for the short answer and this is arch WARHAMMER not arch History lectures
James Beatley
fair enough, it was a mere suggestion.
Sorry
Now title should be: "Confirmed Total War: Warhammer 2 Factions The Tomb Kings" :)
Fantasy necrons. Nice
He was first to refined warpstone which turns it black
such great detail lore vids. but so dull. please. i like watching your vids as much as you like making them. but its a battle to get through.
Rewatching this and I just realizes something arch ... you dared sugest someone, even alcadizar, is greater than the majesty of Settra? You will make fine amunition for the screaming skull catapults, I can tell you that right now you heretical rat person. Not even the Emperor of 40k can compare to settra, simply because while the emperor was a hyper evolved psychic beeing that had to beg the chaos gods for power and pretend to sell his sould and then trick them into stealing some power, settra is offered EVERYTHING he could ever want of the world, ultimate power, his vengeance, a shiny new golden body like he asked of the mortuary cult, the chance to conquer and rule multiple realities and in response settra takes the power and then turns on the chaos gods swearing to kill them personaly for daring to ask servitude of him. After pimp slapping nagash for good measure just to prove he can now. The one good thing that came out of the end-times, which naturaly means settra is now squated alongside the tomb kings and not in age of shitmar.
Year Zero actually is not in the calender. You have year 1 BC and then followed by year 1 AD (or year 1 BCE and year 1 CE if you prefer.)
Note this is in Gregorian calender and the Julian Calendar. Other cultures may have year 0.
