Can You Beat Total War Warhammer 3 Using ONLY Skinks? 

What an enjoyable video. Also I like the turn counter. Very useful when you jump between UIs that hide the ingame turn counter.

It isn't so bad if you can get to chameleon stalkers... They have super strong resistances and can get crazy MD. They're like having baby iron breakers once you push their stats far enough

Only skavenslaves next?

Where are the goblins ?

Wow using cheese to get rid of a rat problem hoe original. I'll see myself out

This and the gobbo one were pretty fun, looking forward to the next episodes. Sort of a shame non of the specialist units get used, like the araknarok or beast with skink riders, but I get it, it's more about Challenger than just army theme :p esp when the mounts are about 99% of the models fighting prowess lol. Also, curious to see what piece of masochism comes next... Gnoblars? Skavenslaves? Ungors? Either way, subscribed and looking forward to finding out! Peace!

Well edited and spoken. Worth the sub, keen to see more content.

Loved the video, I don't always have time to watch the hour long playthroughs of uncut gameplay some people do so an edited down version getting the main point and also tips across was brilliant!

Cant wait for part 2, I always love swarm tactics with skinks.

AI sacking instead of occupying it is something that happens to me often, like also when it doesnt make much sense to do so (Vlad recently lost 10 settlements to me and was left with 3 and then sacks the one he managed to win, like wtf

This was a ton of fun to watch so you got another sub, I hope your channel blows up because this is pretty quality stuff. I will say though unlike gob or skaven rock bottom units Skinks aren't considered "expendable" or even anywhere near that tier, skink only armies with the right buffs and army composition will absolutely steamroll the fuck out of the game.

I'll be honest, playing as lizardmen with my friend who was playing woodelves in immortal empires literally made one skink army as it was the most practical due to funds, situation etc... it was supposed to be a a backup army but it ended up being the first army to leave lustria and land on the shores of the bloodbowl.... for watever reason no matter the odds it kept surviving with most units intact without having the skink research attack buffs early on those red crested skinks are no joke in combat / normally had a couple blessed shield sauros that always held the line and the red crested would flank and surround as the main combatants ....

I like to think of this as an army of kobolds which makes this a lot funnier

0:13 That's a cold one under that skink. Challenge Failed. Good vid tho. :D

I half expected an oxyotl and chameleon skink campaign when I read skink only. Though I guess that would've been way too easy for the point of the video lol

I got home and finally got to do something similar. Currently doing only Kroxigor. I already got the short campaign win, but I’d love to see you do it, as you’re way better

As much as this Lord T buffs skinks, I feel like oxyotl would be just as good a choice with the +50% armor piercing bonus to all the skinks.

Nice video, waiting for the next episode. Already watched the Gobboz ones!

Like and subscribed, loved you goblin video too! Hope you continue both series!

cant wait for skaven slaves only

Btw, not sure if you know this, or if this has been patched, but if you have stalking units they can basically solo capture a major settlement, just have all of your units on one side except the stalking ones, and have stalking ones on the other side so they can ladder on the wall and go cap the points without the enemies moving back

I don't know how you can enjoy Very Hard Battle Difficulty, I played a few campaigns with it initially and while it isnt broken and still easily winnable I just find it way to frustrating when a unit like Skavenslaves just is effectively unbreakable and fights to the last man...or rat I suppose. It falls in the frustratingly difficult section for me.

Found your channel awhile back while going through TW3 channels, have been going through the entirety of your backlog of videos, just binging 'em. I don't know what I'll do when I run out! lol. Keep up the good work!

Love your Warhammer videos

that small montage of the skinks at the start with the classical music..i see u boo. powerful

With the chameleonskinks wouldn't have been oxyotl the better choice?

Why not play oxyotl? Just curious 😅

Will you be trying Bretonnia with only peasantry? I would like to see it

I'll probably do a skavenslave run now lol this was inspiring I feel like I will regret the playthrough lolol

Confused why you picked tehen over oxyotl. ox has those banners that can buff them boys up, especially the poison one can just delete units.

Just found your channel...excellent! I'm scribed up and looking forward to your vids....thanks man

The use of Bach was orgasmic to my years

IM. SO. EXCITED. IF ONLY BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO LIKE ME LIZARDS 😭😭😭

If you really hate yourself, try doing literally anything just with skavenslaves

That first battle should not have been a 'close victory'...

Liked and subbed. Didn't even have to ask.

I would say its a very viable idea, but the Lizardman need a few more skinks to fill the role to be able to truly fill a full on skink army, maybe armored skinks with halberds, skinks with spears for certain and light skink cavalry.

11:10 I disagree. Maybe capturing one control point could also capture the nearby towers, but not all of them, that would be too easy and unbalanced. Imagine the skavens garrisoned in the towers suddenly shooting at their allies for no specific reason other than loosing only one capture point 😆 At least if it's only the nearby towers it would make sense because it's like the lizards are slowly taking control of them and replacing the skaven with their own kind 😁

Could you use only the most mediocre Skeletons of the Tomb king's army? I've been waiting for this, I love spamming out cheap infantry just to see my enemy drown. In blood and their own tiers.

The blowpipe lord is the obvious choice

Have my subscription! Love your vids and always leave them running cuz your voice is that enjoyable. Thank you and keep up!

Boost for the algorithm

dont even like TW WH3 but your content is amazing (:

Very fun! Thank you!

I watched every one of these challenge campaigns now, and i gotta be honest, this one seems kinda boring. I mean shit, _you_ even sound bored in the recording. And it was bugging me, not that it wasn't as hilarious to watch or as fun, but the _why_ of it. Why does it feel less exciting? And i think i figured it out. Basically, i think it's because "Skink Only" essentially just boils down to "Archer Only" which isn't really that much of a challenge, y'know what i mean? Like, it's a game that already has an extremely heavy ranged meta, and you're using almost exclusively ranged units. Couple that with the fact that the only ranged units you can use all have 360 degree firing + fire whilst moving, and it takes any possible downside to being forced to use only ranged units away. Like, it was almost a similar issue with the "Peasants Only" campaign, but that was made exciting by the Peasant Economy factor. I'm sure that made it like 1000x more infuriating to actually play, but it made it _SOOOOO_ much more entertaining to watch. Also, the inclusion of the trebuchets and the fact that alot more units than most people think are counted as peasants made that quite an interesting/exciting watch. Similarly, the "Guns Only" campaign could've had the same issue, y'know? I mean it's quite literally 'ranged only in a ranged meta' but because gunpowder units (for the most part) must be stationary fire, and have much lower rates of fire than their non-boomstick counterparts, it made for pretty interesting gameplay. And yes, I know the ranged meta was alleviated in WH3 with the buffs and changes made to melee units, but it still holds true that generally speaking the ideal army composition for pretty much every faction is gonna be between 1/2 and 2/3rds of every stack being ranged infantry. Idk, i just thought it was an interesting thing to point out. I love the videos you put out, i'm still looking forward to finishing watching this whole campaign too, even if it seems like you're a little bored with it. By far one of _the most underrated_ Total War: Warhammer channels on RU-vid, and i genuinely mean that. Only found your content like yesterday or the day before, and once i finish watching this Skink Only campaign i believe i'll have watched every video you've put out. Can't wait to see what you make next.

Stegadon mount, nay mounts period violate the SKINKS ONLY rule

His name is actually pronounced Te hen-ovin. Pretty cool.

Really nice pacing in the editing!

Cant wait for the next one.

love all your videos lol

Next one up, only cannons on malekai😂

Mujahedeen skinks for the win!

there is a strategy with Tehenhauin where you can get a doom stack of completely free Red Created Skinks with no upkeep

Great video mate

Can't you recruit the red crested yada yada yada skinks from the ritual of sotek in turn 1?

My croxsagors 😢

Now I wanna see Terradon Only

9:09 Croatia 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷💪💪💪

If blessed trebuchets count as peasants, then stegadons count as skinks.. They're just mounted..

I love lizard❤

Hola, skinks!

HOLA SKINKS!

it hurts watching you going by the gate when you can just climb on walls

ITS PRONAUCED TEENY WEENY

2024

Next one, peasant only

Even in 2 the RED CRESTED SKINKS are not to be underestimated

I belive so. Yes.

Why not start oxyotl?

short answer: absolutely. Oxyotl wrecks

Why aren't you explaining WHY you are picking the lords? Who are the best choices and why aren't you picking them? It's just it's so irritating to get no explanation on what you doing and why, it turns me off the rest of the video.....It's like "he is my favorite lord!", ok but WHY??? At this point for me the video is over. It's like being cock-blocked from enjoying the rest.

How about using only undead pirates from sartosas faction? They get some buff through their tech tree i think

I find it annoying despite being a series you only go for short victories I don't want to see every battle and turn
