Khorne/Skarbrand In Depth Guide! TW3 Immortal Empires 

Finally a good skarbrand guide. Skarbrand loves his skulls but his accountants hate him

This is the exact guide I’m looking for… something to help me get started and feel happy with my campaign and be able to thrive. Also not too in depth where I can’t wrap my head around because I haven’t played enough

Thank you so much for making these guides. They are so thorough and well put together, as well as being fantastic for new players like myself. Love the format and your style.

Your videos have been super helpful. I always go through your video before first playthrough of any new faction I haven't played before.

Hello lord forwind! algorithm brought me here. Thank god they led me here. Thanks for the guide!!! looking forward to the future videos too :)

Best vids in depth for total war for sure. Unbelivable these isn't watched more.

Just started playing IE and had no idea what each faction does. I plan on running through all your vids, thanks for all the help!

Awesome tips, helps to explain a lot of mechanics that aren't that clear such as the bloodletting

I'm waiting for your Nurgle one. Cool guide!

Thanks for the guide.

My mans cannot be stopped

your guides are the best so far i found, would be nice if you wanna add something on top of your content) in battle strats/builds/play style you can use to max your fraction bonuses

I wish this video was the first one to come up when I looked up a guide!

Thanks!

Hey man I'm really thankful for your in depth videos, they helped me out a lot so far with learning the game! was wondering if/when you might be doing a video on the Dark Elves?

Dude this is the guide I've been waiting for. I haven't played the Total War series. Actually I played Shogun but that is one of the earliest in the series. It's advanced so much since then. I love this faction but couldn't quite figure out how to build it economy wise. I would raise and take settlements and then was too poor to do anything else. Now I know I just need to focus on Deff Gorge, which helps tremendously with upgrading my army. Also I didn't realize that having garrisoned armies hurt your growth as well. I'm going to make changes and get out there and be the great terror i know I was meant to be! Thanks again for tremendous work here! This was the instructional guide I wish was enclosed when I purchased $300 worth of game & DLC's via my Game Pass -chuckle-

I've used this and this advice is great! I don't know if you mentioned this or not but Galvbaraz has a pretty good unique building, that unlocks Bloodreapers (and +1 to their capacity), 250 income, 100 skulls per turn, and a 10% bonus to skulls from kills for all armies

Good guide Ty

Having a blast with Skarbrand. Tomb kings really can't stand up to even a mediocre Khorne army. I had to use the blood host much more sparingly in the new start location.

I just noticed watching this I don’t own the chaos warrior DLC I was wondering why I didn’t see some of the units in my play through XD

I was looking for a "hammer and anvil" type of unit roster for a first IE playthrough. Looks like khorne may be it

I took the instant teleport from a khorne cult and landed in northren nagarond.. 100 turns later i control the entire north with malekith and archeon as my bitches… sadly this gave rise to the order factions who are now much stronger position…

More accurate I think to say that Khorne hates sorcery. Magic is basically controlled and channeled Chaos and those who are devoted enough to Khorne have abilities that can only be described as supernatural. Either Khorne is a hypocrite or he's ignorant of that. The effects of high winds of magic reflect this pretty accurately I think.

I literally just attack everyone with this guy....best campaign ever! Lol

In a way knorne is a very complex faction, but in another sense it's the most simplistic

I kinda hope they make it so skull trial movement stance at least keeps bloodletting from decaying because lord allmighty skarbrand is very slow. Dude's been dipping his toes in molasses

This might be a dumb question but is it possible to directly recruit an Exalted Bloodthirster as an army Lord? I'm about 100 turns in and I've only been able to recruit Heralds of Khorne. I never got around to looking this up but when I was playing last night one of my Heralds was elevated (seemingly at random) to an Exalted Bloodthirster. Is this the only way to get these? Would the Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh factions have a similar thing with obtaining Exalted Great Unclean Ones, Lords of Change and Keepers of Secrets?

I've only played as Valkia (Khorne wise), which I understand plays a bit differently, but: Forsaken and Warhounds suck. I feel like they're just additional muscle and can't be relied upon to do much aside from "look good."

Hey what lords feel impactful as skarbrand? Im new to the game and i love an impactful lord ofcourse good unites also but i love impactful lord most any advice what to try?

Odd.. A lot of the units you've shown aren't available to me. Are they locked behind DLC perhaps? Like the marauders, they are nowhere to be found on my building browser screen.

If teachers taught like this in college, notes would be easy, tests would be A's.

It's "waaaaah" not "waaag." They are screaming "War!" But cannot say R. And it's "Halberd" not "halaberd"

The only issue I have with this faction is trying to hold major settlements....the garrisons are the absolute worst until you upgrade the settlement to its upper tiers.

Honestly in the last day or 2 I've restarted this campaign. I really like Khorne but I struggled with the order in which I take out who. Those damn Top knotz need to be wiped out first since orcs are beefy and really melt my army if I'm not careful.

Khorne kills furries! I mean beastmen xD love his faction

Hello. It's an ok guide. I do not see why you downplay the The Skull Throne mechanic. It's a huge boost, gift 2 free units of Bloodletters thar are invaluable. When figthting factions with ranged unit summoning a bloodletter on top of ranged is invaluable. Plus with research it becomes cheaper and more powerful, with more summons. I use it at cooldown. You also left out commandments, which at mid to late game are great boosters to your army or armies. The Destroy! commandment gives 1% Melee Attack to all armies. For an aggressive faction you recommend a pasive start. On first turn I first use The skull throne and then I take Skarbrand right next to red area of influence of Top Knotz army, on the road, and only after that I incorporate the hero. This way after defeating army you can also attack Agrul Migdhal and raze and summon a Blood Host, and after the I force march toward North to take Galbaraz. The same first turn I start the diplomacy game. I join the Malagor war against vampires for around 6k gold/favour. He always blows up Sunken Kernach and leaves it in ruins. Next turn i advance towards Galbaraz and in encamped stance only then I start recruiting 3 more units. Usualy a mix of Bloodletter and Marauders Dual Weapons. Right after I take Galbaraz Wurzag shows up on road to colonise Sunken Khernach. After I take Galbaraz I recruit 3 more units. Next turn I hit and destroy Wurzag because he is in Forced March stance and can't flee. Wurzag defeat trait bonus is a great bonus for Skarbrand (10% physical resistance). After that I go and finish vampires and focus on greenskins on North. On highest difficulties you can wait until wurzag colonise Sunken Kernach and hit him when he is weaker, and until then clear up Top knotz armies that show up around south. At the moment I rarely use blood hosts because of bugged hidden supply lines. The blood host i use it to raze to get skuls Gronti Mignol and fight some battles in north. I disband it around turn 8-10 when i start raising the 2nd army to take Floating Village and take care of southern Greenskins and Tomb King and more. the 2nd army I started it with 6 units, a mix of bloodletters and marauders dual weapons with a Herald of Khorne general and after taking Floating Village and facing other armies I recruit and grow the army on the road as bloodletting grows and I see fit. I use Harbinger of disaster and Clan Moors as allies as they are helpful and keep clear flanks as you rampage with 2 or 3 armies. I always colonize major city and sack/raze small settlements. The main rat clans (the legendary lords) are good allies in mid to late game as they take care of flanks as you cannot advance in 360 degrees radius. I also recommend Thorek defeat trait as great buff for your main armies. I never lost Skarbrand and I usualy fight the battles myself as I usually get half of loses I get on auto resolve. I rarely recruit an army and stay with it in a settlement. If I have I have to defend at some point I recruit some unit and with the local garrison I match the number of unit or go under the number of attacking army. And imediately after battle I disband so I don't have to take the money hit more that 2 or maybe 3 turns. I prefer to recruit Herald generals and turn them into Bloodthirster generals at level 15 because of Siege attacker. I also recommend use of at least 1 Cultist in every army because of replenishment boost and 3 bloodletters and 1 bloodthirster summons each, 4 free units. To increase capacity i build wherever I can the Mortal Servants chain of buildings. You can build that in minor settlements also because it goes only to tier 3. On Skarbrand I prefer to go blue line to get replenishment, campaigh movement and upkeep reduced bonuses and also lightning strike and Claimer of souls. Next I focus on Rage Incarnate line followed by red line to boost bloodletters and skullcrushers. Never forget to get Missile and Spell resist. Till level 50 i fill up the yellow line to boost Skarbrand. Don't put points on red line after Kill for Khone until units start reaching rank 7 experience because there are useless until then.

I thought all you needed to know was attack and then attack more

be more confident on mic my dude awesome vid

Are you mad englishspeaker? Are you make a guide for Skarbrand? Skarbrand is no need a guide, he just need a SKUUUUUUUUUULSSSSS
