Fun factoid: Kemmler is so awesome that Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files, named his OP necromancer after him in his series.

A "Kremmler and Krell" series along the lines of the "Gotrek and Felix" novels would have been amazing.

aint no way they called this dude "Heinrich Kemmler", early warhammer was wild 🤣

I feel like Kemmler finding Krell was like a kid who got bullied all his life finding a giant robot to beat the shit out of his bullies with.

Kemmler was my first special character I owned for my undead army. I painted him based off Rob Zombie. It was cash.

I like to think that Krell Saw through the bullshit of chaos after being resurrected the first time and just said “fuck it” and went all in on the undead thing.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if PNW decided to throw a video called “How to Fix my Hatred for the Bretonnians” and it either being a completely reworked fashion or it being 10 seconds with him saying “The End Times fixed it already for me”

The character archetype of 'Sorcerer with no god or master doing their own thing' is my favourite.

I love Warhammer Fantasy undead factions, specifically because of how independent they are. Sure, Nagash technically holds dominion over them, but everyone hates his guts and he isn't around to tell them what to do for most of the setting. Sure most of them are still assholes, but they're self made assholes. They're godless heathens in a setting where everyone worships some god or another, and that really makes them stand out.

Augustine Mouchot (1825-1912) was a French Engineer who developed the first steam power system. In short it involve a bunch of mirrors arranged in a semi-circle that was pointed at a sun which concentrated sunlight on a boiler in the center of the assembly like the Stamen of a flower that powered a steam engine. The French government sponsored this venture between the 1850s to 70s. It worked (and the basic principle of it is used today in Solar Thermal power) but in the 19th century it was prohibitively expensive.

Tancred was my favorite grail knight shame what they did to him in end times. Never even got like a whole book of the green knight and abborash fighting which would have been sick

the Nagash mod you mentioned is so good, it perfectly encapsulates the fact that when you are playing campaign you care about enjoyment and not unit to unit balancing while still being challenging enough to be fun.

Warhammer fantasy has a lot of fun and interesting characters. Kemmler had Gargoyles, called Simulacra. Which he learned how to make by copying the Tomb Kings. I agree, TWW1 armies need some DLC/updating.

Might be just me, but I kinda liked this idea I had of Kemmler and Krell being a sort of father son duo. Like Kemmler was an ancient shaman in the time of Sigmar, and he had been trying to get his son Krell to become the leader of their tribe, only for Sigmar to beat Krell. Then Kemmler allies with Nagash for vengeance, Nagash resurrects his son, and when Nagash is defeated, Kemmler and Krell slink into the darkness to plot their revenge on the Empire of Sigmar. It's kind of redundant what with Azazel filling the role of a contemporary of Sigmart trying to destroy him, but the idea of a necromancer father raising his son back from the dead is a sort of dark familial bond that could work.

Oh, hell yeah! My favourite Vampire Counts character and probably my favourite WHFB character of all! I love Kemmler and Krell!

"excuse me sir what are you doing in our fores -" *Aggressively aged to dust*

A makaison and thanquol campaign would be freaking awesome, both could be horde based factions whose mechanics work with the rest of their faction somehow, like doing mercenary contracts and fulfilling missions all over the world instead of conquering land, maybe you could even contract them as a player as well to attack someone or do stuff to other factions, who knows. I'd totally love to play a faction that doesn't necessarily need to conquer but rather does it's own thing across the world instead.

Can't we just have weekly videos about how awesome Settra is?

Gotta admit, I misread his name several times. It’s very similar to a particular war criminal. Games Workshop what is wrong with your Fantasy naming conventions? 😂

Krell and Kremmler would make an amazing first dual mortarch

I love how he is basically a confused old man doesn't know where he is.

I feel like someone here should try to make a 3-D printed updated version of him his model so that they can at least run him as a generic sorcerer unit for age of sigmar. Honestly, he seems like both a threat and a silly goofy wizard man, and I love him

Hearing the bit where Khrystine was somehow in charge of Kemmler nuked my neurons back to the stone age. Yearn to a time before I knew about The End Times.

If you get this pancreas could you do a lore video on the aos tree people or more specifically the iron wood sub faction?

“Gave him the old one two buckle your shoe” just made my day.

That Abbot would then combine with Karl Franz to become the Celestant-Prime in Age of Sigmar.

Ah, Kemmler. Fond memories of running in terror from endless skeletons as a starting Warhammer Fantasy RPG character. Good times.

The Life and Times of Kemmler and Krell, now there's a sitcom.

Thanks for indroducing me to this character, I am very much new to warhammer fantasy and I got interested in him because (No joke) my grandfathers name was Heinrich Kemmler. :)

By De'Lady! This Peasant mocks us noble Bretonnians like we were milk drinking dirt farmers!

Kemmler an Dieter Hellsnicht were super cool in 4th / 5 th edition before GW made the undead faction into Vampire Counts and pretty much devalued necromancers… But I guess no need to have a grudge for 2 decades about it…

Oh hell yeah! A video on the evil Gandalf guy that always does nothing while I have Karl camping across a mountain from him then decides to fck my life up when I ignore him and focus my attention somewhere else

Hey dude. I know I probably shouldn't be doing this, but it's been on my radar for so long that I can no longer resist the urge. Why not do a Do or Don't on Konflikt '47? It's a unique sci-fi WW2 setting with stompy robots, German Zombies, werewolves, and bat-human hybrids, and it's based off of the ruleset for the already existing Tabletop game Bolt Action. Sure, it can be a bit pricy at times, but I absolutely LOVE IT.

Another great vid, as always my dude.

Krell in the End Times was a cool pile of bones but Arkhan had an undead cat as a pet he took care of, im siding with the cat, and Kemmler was a funny demented necronancer that wasted time turning bretonnian bodies into a spider like mount made of body parts and laughing like a senile grandpa. 10/10 would enjoy bretonnian suffering again

I just go diagnosed with pancreatitis so for a short time I am PancreasNoWork

Josef Bugman is older, Apr 1984. I believe Golgfag was on his 2nd mini when Kemmler got his first. A number of regiments of renown were released in first and second edition with named characters leading them.

Nostalgia flooding! I can still remember my first contact with RPG. Black Sabbath had just released a brand new album called Heaven and hell which we listened to during our first pathetic sessions of rpg.

I´d love a Vampire Coast and Counts DLC, I need that undead Skaven Pirate in my game yesterday

Next video idea Skaven and how they would burst into 40k like the old ones planned to wipe out Necrons

He truly is the Special K.

With warhammer: the old world coming out, can we expect a Brettonia: do or don’t? ;)

Yo actually Malaki vs Tanquol DLC makes so much sense

great video

Nice video I noticed that Rise of the nations and age of mythology music in the first part of the video

Awwww here it goes! Everybody out there, go run and tell, your homeboys and homegirls it's time for Kemmler and Krell!

NGL, old-school warhammer game setup sounds pretty unique, cool, and fun.

Ah, Kemmler... I used him back in the day as my commander for my Undead army back in '99!

I remember the Liche-master campaign. Happy times man. Fanks for the memberberries sir.

*Sees PancreasNoWork's Video on Heinrich Kemmler* "Whelp...Time to do a Playthrough or at least an attempt at a Heinrich Kemmler Campagin in TWW3

3:56 Kloster St. Trudpert spotted! and you thought I would not notice!

As a fan of the Dresden Files series I always smile when I hear about this guy.

What a cool and unique character. I wonder if there's a historical figure who he was based on!

His name is... eerily close to a certain windmill of peace and tolerance member.

I hope one day i can also be like you, and have a nonfunctioning pancreas

Wood Elves: "foolish human, be aged to dust!" Kemmler: "no u."

My first mini was a free night goblin and my first box was Battle for Skull pass

2:40 You show General Krell, my "PTSD" kicks in and suddenly the shadows start talking. Good to know you are a fan of Clone Wars.

He got that necromussy

Warsword Conquest is a fucking amazing mod

Thank you for the spoiler warning - I'm in the middle of the G&F novels, in part thanks to one of your recent videos.

Some video games got me into Warhammer as a whole.

love your fantasy videos

yeeaaah babyy some heinrich kemmler along with rise of nations OST, that's what I've been waiting for

I too want an official Nagash DLC or the mod port.

Dude I've bin playng battle brothers and the mention of an necromancer gave me PTSD

my first mini's was a squad of blood Angels was cool af to paint them

I would love to see you do gaunts ghosts

5:19 O nonono. You don't attack THAT hamlet!

I would say that kemler is the first named charecter who had a model that followed through to other editions. In the old C series box sets many of the heroes and villians had names and special rules. But I doubt any of them carried over. Though there is a slambo prototype. But yes kemmler is the first Major named charecter in what would become the old world.

Alikinash sounds like a legendary drop from a Wow raid

Thanquil lore video would be hilarious.

Damn do I love the old school models.

Fun Fact: My neighbour is called Heinrich Kemmeler. not quite the deal, but I should be concerned?

They really weren’t subtle with a bad guy being named “Heinrich Kemler” Like it couldn’t sound like Himmler/Hitler more without being their names

Citadel journal, 1 pound 95. Oh how the times and philosophies have changed....

0:30 ironic that I’m here right after the price rise

Wow, first time I've watched a Warhammer vid and hard agreed with all the opinions of the author.

I find it funny that the elf simp doesn't like his fellow elf simps... the bretonians.

3:07 I mean, I wasn't gonna bring him up as an "uhm, actually", cause I know it took a while before Harry was a character, but you did absolutely call out my need to bring up obscure shit i know.

Chances of a video on the Red Duke at some point?

Finally my favorite warhammer character gets a video. Thanks Pnw

Thumbs up for the Age of Mythology background music!

Seeing bleached bone makes me feel old. My old genestealers were genestealer purple and bleached bone

Lol Mother Teresa is so Bretonnian I'm shocked she doesn't have her own model with a legally distinct name

Do a "Seperatist Alliance would be Great for Warhammer". Simply to put just Tau with droid army but their technology and peaceful relations with other species make a great foundation for a copy and paste for a collective of independent systems. You could even include renagade Imperial worlds and other (un)savory minor factions or powers as long as they are not obviously tainted by Chaos but that could be a sub army in itself.

Bruh i still got the citadel pots with the screw on tops

Hey Mr.Fancypants, how would you fix the Bretonnians? And no, "killing them all off" or "erase them from lore" doesn't count.

The irony of the intro, after a year of this being out and James Workshop just releasing a increased price on all their shit

Tbf my first GW character I got was a devastator marine squad I turned into Chaos lads lol

I hope kemmler comes back in old world

Did they really just name a guy after Heinrich Himmler?

Heinrussy

What a nice young man.

Heinrich… Kemmler … Heinrich… fucking… Kemmler… OH HEIL NO

Sceolan: Shkyo LAWN is as close as you can get with your Saxon tongue

I had (or maybe have...need to check the library) the Warmhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game. It was ok.

Krell, Greater Chaos lord. Champion of the Blood God. Undead Slaughterhouse. Example of Khorn cares not from where the blood flows only that it does. Khorns Truest Servent lets not even death prevent them from supplying sculls I supose

Am I the only one how sees the similarities between Heinrich Kemmler and Heinrich Himmler.
