Chaos Dwarf Campaign/Battle Footage Analysis & Reaction! Complex Economy, Vast Tech Tree, & More! 

25:54 the "see it, slay it, sorted" internal security campaign is a reference to the "see it, say it, sorted" campaign by the british transport police, who primarily work on our rail network, promoting reporting suspicious items or behaviour on the trains! God I love CA's very british sense of humour!

For anyone concerned about the unit card art it has been confirmed they are placeholders :)

i really loved the regular chaos dwarf warrior design !

12:53 "Turning a warlord into a sla-borer." Don't feel bad, we're all thinking the same thing. 😎

I still think adding the Sleeper as a random event would be fun. Armies of mixed units that wouldn’t normally work together, an enemy that hates everyone, and if you ignore it for too long it can spread its influence to other places.

It might sound trivial, but I‘m most excited to see how the new settlements look indepth and how the emptiness between the Dwarfs and Ogres now is filled 😍

Okay, the fact that working with your fellow CD faction allows you to easier move up the tower is amazing! I love that there is a reason to keep them alive and work with them.

They are making chaos dawi into the most in-depth faction in total war

This may be the first race DLC i feel is actually worth the asking price. Specifically thanks to the effort and thought they put into the game mechanics. Hope the Dark Elves get some of this flavor of labor / slave mechanics. 22:50 i mean this is a whole game in just 1 faction, this could be a whole Dawn of War game in the past.

I love the complex economy, the chaos dwarfs might be my new favorite race now

I'm loving everything about the Chaos Dwarfs, style, mechanics, terminology, colors, every.damn.THING!

Their campaign mechanics feel closer to a ''empire builder/manager'' simulator than most other factions. Love it.

27:37 The Lord that leads the Servants of the Conclave is Ghorth the Cruel, cool to see him included

21:02-21:08 Astragoth just reignite his inner blood ball player fire from his youth.

Im so glad they have the caravan mechanic. I was wondering how they will show trading with different chaos warlords for WOC. Also I wonder how these mechanics will effect the Warriors Of Chaos or even the Dark Elves. People have been wanting a DE slave rework.

also something that i seen is that they dont have any population mechanic you strictly upgrade settlement tiers with raw materials so completely mitigated the dwarf problem of slow development of settlements

"Strong garrison" - all those 6 units of slaves lol! They gotta be trolling

Would love to see some more Sportacus events with this new DLC

That escort mission gives me so much hope for the future of battle types within the campaign and future mods!

The way that the Chaos dwarfs mechanics work is the way that the empire should be. There is so much that could be added like the zoo's of Altdorf, the cannon foundries of Nuln, individual counts having different mechanics in their areas such as the Moot, Ulricsburg ( everything cult of Ulric), all the other minor gods such as Taal, Mannon, Mor.. etc. The Empire for being the major good faction that it is, is REALLY over shadowed by the Chorfs right now!!

Teclis to Thorgrim: “short” CA making Astragoth’s power armour: “and I took that personally”

First of all, great video, thanks! Second of all, I find myself getting hyped for your reaction/breakdown videos more than the main videos themselves most times. Great job!

"strong garrison" got me fucked up

Is it weird that thing I'm most excited for is seeing how all the different factions play when the game is well and truly finished? Like all the mechanics changes that came with IE and WoC and the updates up till now and then the complexity of the Chaos Dwarfs mechanics has had me almost more excited for the potential of the other factions in the game than whatever is coming in any individual update. Every update has me thinking "if this is what they're up to now, how cool is the stuff that drops _next_ update gonna be" 26:38 So the labor mechanic is 100% gonna be the framework for a rework of the Druchii slave mechanic when they get around to it right? The bones of the game 2 version of that mechanic are clearly visible here, but massively improved and adapted to the Chaos Dwarfs.

If you look at the building browser when he first talks about wanting to get to Great Tauri, the building chain with the Daemon engines has three unit cards at the top tier, all with the dreadquake mortar picture (I assume the cards are just incomplete, as many are in the video). But because there are three units there (meaning two of them are unknown, since all the other Daemon engines are already accounted for in the building chain), I wonder and hope that it might be related to getting to have actual trains with multiple carriage weapons pulled by an Iron Engine or Skullcracker. In the same way, I really hope the train that you escort in the quest battle is an indication that they might be possible. Even if we just get one big train RoR, it's something absurd and over-the-top that I would love to see. Would be great even just as a Hell Forge mechanic, where you can spend a ton of resources to build trains and add them one at a time to your recruitment pool. But we'll have to wait and see

The Daniel meme is the best thing that came out of the Daemon's of Chaos as a faction.

"See it, Slay it, sorted" is riffing on the British Transport Police's "See It, Say It, Sorted" to report problems on public transport.

"See it, Slay it, Sort it" is a play on the Northern Rail slogan here in Yorkshire (see it, say it, sort it) - I creased over at that bit :'D

Man I really wanted my legendary lord bull center

Cant wait until i get this in my hand, but also until u get into u hands and we can see that first Lets play ;) Looks really nice

Who doesn't remember the miniature box of chaos warriors: labourers to darkness... lol

Wow this is looking great. The Chorfs look like they will be so much fun to play

Can't wait for the other legendary lords to get their own video

17:50 "Astragoth, Neightalie and their centaur children." So this is a canon couple, yes?

Man they look awesome, I know power/feature creep is inevitable for the new stuff but I'd love to see some modern updates to some older factions

26:20 "See it, Say it, Sorted" is a slogan we have here in UK for British Transport Police- about safety on trains, buses and tube lines etc.

I REALLY hope there's multiple ways to stack unit caps for Chaos Dwarfs. I know its a lore reason, but it feels like a major handicap and detriment to just say "No no, you can't have many of the race you actually are playing". It seems like a frustrating gate that I am REALLY hoping is able to be circumnavigated at some point the more you conquer the world in IE.

You missed Ghorth the Cruel! He is the ruler of Zharr-Naggrund.

I sure hope we get Tordrek Hackhart for the Chaos Dwarfs in the future as he looks so sick and is unique with his ship

They got this one right. Very pumped

as someone who loves spreading corruption infantry and artillery i gotta say i think this is gonna be my new favorite faction hands down always loved them before but man they look amazing. And their new slave mechanic is way more interesting then dark elves hope they get an update to dark elves down the line. if this is any indication of what future dlcs are gonna look like size wise i gotta say i understand why the dlcs have slowed down even more for game 3 this if insane how complicated yet simple they look. they keep making me more and more impressed by these DLCs i do wonder if Ikit knows the high priest himself considering how similar they are didn't really think about it but their suits are pretty similar as armor and advancing their physical abillities and both having a flamethrower now.

This looks great. I'd love to see this level of mechanics added to other factions too (DE slaves in particular).

Duel Cannon tanks, huge mortars, mech suits, lever action halberd guns. This is what the dwarfs can do when they ain't scared shitless of new technology for a couple hundred years after it's invented.

I think the Mecha-Suit is operated on Magma/Lava and not fire, so that may be why the "flame thrower" move is so much more vibrant and long lasting, Lava has a tendency to hang around longer then plain old fire does. In the Lore the more powerful Sorcerer Prophets are able to outright control the Magma/Lava, so it would make sense that Astragoth would be using it as a fuel/power source... That or its Daemon Fire and he has Daemons bounded to his suit :p

I do believe they were on a race on the rise, as opposed to decline like regular dwarves. Mostly due to canon fodder.

Going to be 100% honest and say the unit Cap is a massive issue. Mind you this is only if you can't easily increase it like with the tomb kings. As late game your armies are going to be trash. As fighting high their units with expendable units. Is like trying to use skaven slaves. They are just going to die instantly.

I remain cautiously optimistic

I really hope that there is some of these mechanics spread to other Warhammer 1 and 2 factions that use similar resources materials and faction wide mechanics. 🤞🤞 On the vampire coast DLC getting finished, someday.

The tower of Zharr is in Zharr Naggrund and Zhatan the Black is it’s commander. He’ll probably start there

Astragoth joins the ranks of absolute Warhammer Chads.

See it, say it, sorted is a campaign here in the UK on the national network rail to do with crime on trains. I'm guessing they are connecting this with the trains of the chaos dwarves.

the urge to collect and paint chaos dwarfs rises once again..

Words for the Algorithm God. Separate sentence for Algorithm Throne. Keep up the great work!

The train derailment in East Araby, while tragic, is in no way the responsibility of Naggrund Southern!

With how deep they have shown they can make an economy I wish they would go back and add some depth to other races

preordered with your link! Keep up the good work!!!!

OMG I ALREADY WANT AN ECONOMY MOD FOR JUST DWARFS

I think the campaign mechanic seems like it will either be super fun and rewarding or just really frustrating. I look forward to trying them out, I just hope they don't end up being too big brain for my caveman-intellect.

To be fair about that garrison, it's Tier 1 with no defences buildings built

Gorth is at the head of Zharr Naggrund so I really wonder if Zhatan is going to benefit from this in some way .

So boris is not in uzkulak where is he

Grimgor ain't gonna be conquering the entire Mountains of Mourn and the Dark Lands anymore. I swear every campaign he owns everything between Cathay and the World's Edge Mountains. It'll be nice to 1. Have a buffer to stop him. 2. It'll make my Grimgor/Greasus/Imrik/Tretch campaigns more fun. 3. I won't have to fight orcs for half my campaign anymore.

I kinda disappointed that there is no event about chaos dwarf train run over escaped Gnoblar village

My man got the jumps!!

They have skaven like occupy settlement at level x at 21:08 ish.

17:13 I only hope that there are the ways to increase their 'recruitment limit capacity' in similiar fashion as Tomb Kings.

Tordrek captain of the black kraken could be a nice LL one day on another part of the map

Great video!

I asked the new Bing bot who would win in a fair fight: Angron or Sigmar Heldenhammer. The bot told me that this was a tough questions because they come from separate verses and the proceeded to explain the different combat styles. I set the scene as a bake-off and the bot agreed that Sigmar would win with his adorable croquembouche. All throughout that exchange I was not as excited as I was when watching the DAWI ZHARR FINALLY COMING TO TW: WH! I wanted them and the skaven and the vampires from day one. I now got everything from the game.

I would LOVE to see the conclave mechanic adapted for the High Elves and their political influence. The HE mechanic has always felt a bit bare tbh.

With the cannons, I'm thinking Wario.

Sooo excited

I hope the unit cards aren't final. Look awful. Edit: Confirmed by CA they aren't final

Astragoth is good jump! AAAHHHH

As a greenskins player I love the greenskins laborer units but I prefer to see my boys running hog wild in a proper WAAAGH! which is why I hope they are getting some more content in warhammer 3.

I am curious about how many slaves you lose each turn, and what affects it. Cause I can imagine that getting real annoying, real fast.

TRAINS ON THE BATTLEFIELD YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

What annoyed me the most about the spotlight is at some point he is charging a unit with some Bull centaurs, and laments that cavalry should never charge into braced infantry, but he thinks they can take it with the support of some spells, but the unit he is charging is fucking goblin archers.

I think the labour greenskins units have so much health because they are maaassive mobs, many, many members.....like...140 for the orcs?

FINALLY

Dark Elves slave mechanic got dumbed down while Chaos Dwarves get this? Not fair

They givin’ us Hotseat mode yet?

They speak in dark khazalid? Make sense if they were isolated from their cousin aeons ago

iron hail gunner chaos dwarf blunderbuss - the cooler iron hail gunner

Is it just me or are the Chaos Dwarfs speaking entirely in Khazalid?

I do hope the Dwarfs get some of these features added in for them like the books of Nagash for Manfred and Volkmar

Sotek how well do you think Zhatan would stand against Ungirm ?

Basically a mix of both dark elf slave mechanics.

At 27:38 I’ve seem on the diplomacy screen Ghorth the Cruel. Is he a secret fourth LL? Or a unique lord? Or just a random guy with its name?

Sounds like the music from Attila isent it?

I miss settlement battles as well…

Wait no siege giant????

Dwarfs need something like the raw material stuff with a different twist,

It looks a bit inspired by the way SFO and a few overhauls does things. To really utulize more of the factions unique resources and such. I like it, I have wanted a more trixy faction to play for a while. I suspect the unit limits might be increased trough more towers or buildings like in SFO. I cant wait to play them its my favourite table-top army.

Lol, 1:31 "The Diciples of Hashut". Guess there were some last minute edits before they uploaded the video that weren't included in the file Sotek got

HYPE FOR THE HYPE GOD

Dwarves: So... Multiple races are just better at the things we're supposed to be good at, but have none of the negatives we have? CA: Yes.

So who’s the FLC?

Its only my or units cards looks terrible

I dont like the unticaps
