Nightmare in Bretonnia - History and Lore of the Black Grail Knights - Warhammer Fantasy Lore 

Check out the awesome work by Barney, BasedMemes, and Acephelos here! - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2921261950&searchtext=black+grail+knights

Excellent, I’ve been hoping for more lore videos from you for a long time.

I think CA should do a "minor" DLC - one that includes a unit for each race. It doesn't have to be anything massive for each - a bit like an ROR. But instead of having to get a high level lord to unlock, you have to preform a specific quest, or capture a specific city ect... Like VC's would unlock this, the Dawi would get Daemon slayers for retaking Kraka-Drak ect... Realising that would be a ridiculous number of units - so I'm realising that would mean a lot of work and prolly be too expensive. But it would add flavour AND give you incentive to go in different directions with your campain ect... Great vid as always!

Dark Omen was literally my first pc game i've ever owned, i'm hugging it right now.

Goddamn those models are cool. I really dig the glow effect whenever they slash out with those swords of theirs.

Loved Dark Omen back in the day - Commander Bernhardt was a right character! I've always wondered why he hasn't appeared as part of the Empire in TW Warhammer games, also Ragnar's Wolves.

If necromancy can take hold of a chaotic entity like Krell why not the equivalent of "good" One would think that if you can steal from the mighty chaos gods a puny backwater bath girl should not pose much of a problem 🛀

Dark Omen was awesome, Shadow of the Horned Rat as well. I could never finish that last one as a kid in the nineties, but I finally did it on a GoG version I found a couple of years ago. Took me a whole night and I had to get pretty drunk for it though. True oldhammer.

Missed those lore videos, thanks ! Also, since Dark Omen was mentioned, still hope the Morgan Bernhardt and the Grudgebringers come back in some capacity, if they ever release a Dogs of War type of 'faction' DLC, and also hope Grey Seer Thanquol makes an appearance, too, perhaps as a hero or something, he's pure chaos even compared to his kind. (I know he wasn't in Dark Omen, just to be sure, just part of this era) Edit: Love that reference at 6:45

I think they're cool. It would make sense that some grail knights possibly felt duped by an elf and were upset about so took the chance to come back and cause problems.

Can not wait for that mousillon faction mod. It was one of my favorites in warhammer 2.

I really hope we get a vamp count vs Bretonnia DLC to explore these kind of units and characters

Nice and quick. A lot of other lore channels just sort of lean into 30-40 minute rambling segments which is okay if you're really into them but I think it's still a bit much to ask of the audience, especially if the person narrating is just sort of not forming a coherent point. Seeing more related lore stuff to the warhammer universe and 40k as well would be neat. Thanks for making this.

Your warhammer lore videos are seriously some of the best on RU-vid. Keep up the great work man.

Holy shit I've completely forgotten about Dark Omen, I still have the CD lol. The memories.

Awesome video! It could be interesting to see a video that starts with a lot of lore about a unit, and then afterwards closely follows that unit, zoomed in, in a couple of battles. Checking the unit's stats and abilities compared to the enemies it encounters and seeing how 'its lore translates to stats which translates to battle animations'

"But they were all deceived. For in the darkness of Mousillon another Grail was being made."

Missed these lore vids, keep it up

Indy, please. GIVE US MORE LORE VIDEOS!

Dark Omen was a truly awesome game back in the day; honestly, I lost count of the number of times I must've played through it... nice to see it still get referenced more than two decades after it's initial release! _Side note..._ To me, the so-called 'Dread King' will pretty much always be Nagash, even if he was never specifically named as such... while I realise GeeDubs have tried to retcon a lot of their older 'lore', let us not forget that these are the same people trying to convince everyone that Age of Shitemar is an actual thing - _hence,_ personally, I'm inclined to take anything they have to say with a *HEFTY* grain of salt..!

I love these sort of videos! Keep it up!

Love the lore vids Indy, great job as always!

More lore videos! I love when you release these!

You know what...as much as I love Warhammer Fantasy I think I have healed enough to hear your take on some Age Of Sigmar lore..

Hell yeah Indy! Love the lore videos.

Love your lore videos Indy! hope to see more of these :)))

Duke Maldread had large support to his claim on the throne and most likely include Grail Knights who genially believed him to be a real thing. I think that the Duke let these knights drink from the Black Grail as a gift or strengthen their bonds , thus opening them for corruption down the line to become something more than your average undead.

An evil undead force of grail knights is badass, idc what any lore master nerd says. Historically, through out every fandom, the bad guys are cool as fuck. Maybe Ze Lady has a smokin hot evil twin sister. Call her " Duh Lady"

I love the lore videos, dark omen was one of my favorite games from my childhood...

Nice to see some lore about the Black Grail Knights! I still hope that we will eventually see them offically in WH3 by CA in a VC/Undead Bretonnia Minor Faction.

Love your lore videos

Man, them assets be crazy!

A LORE VIDEO?!?! Yes please!

loving the lore

Love the mod that adds them to my collection.

I frickin loved Dark Omen! So much atmosphere. I played it on Playstation, I don't know how I managed to enjoy it so much with those controls, but I did haha. Even if their take on Mannfred and other characters was a bit cartoonish, the whole living dead situation felt genuinely scary and the Warhammer world they created was so bleak and dark. The plot isn't anything to write home about, but just the traversing across the Old World and south of it was so enjoyable. I hate this term, but it definitely felt felt "lived in" and distinct.

I loved playing Dark Omen as a kid! ❤

CA: no we can't bring out dlc on a regular basis. The players:

This came out at the same time sotek did something similar… do you guys know something we don’t? :^)

Wake up babe new milkandcookiesTW video

Excellent timing I've just finished red duke by CL Werner

Very cool, I love these niche deep dives! Also a Death Faction fan, so bonus points there :D. Do you have a favorite piece of Warhammer fantasy lore?

Nice! :D

omg I just realised that I NEED 1-2 models in the grail knight units to be carrying huge banners

As they say truth is stranger than fiction.

I really really hope we would get a remake...

i really like the fact that they charge with spear then draw theirs Swords I Hope WE get a ROR for grail knight that work the same way

I think they’re gonna swing for the fences in the first lord pack after Chaos Dwarfs. It will be a triple lord pack with Vampires, Bretonnia and Kislev adding 1 lord to each.

i really wanna learn more about Bretonnia sadly they dont have any cool books like Empire that i know or even better audiobooks

Dark Omen was soooooo goooooooood!!!

Never march on Mousillon.

Aren't these the black knights? Or different? Oh they are different, I hope we get them in game as dlc for Bretonnia.

They give me some hardcore nazgul vibes

Odd thought occurs: You know how there ae only 16 crucible knights in Elden Ring and they don;t respawn? If there was ever a souls-like warhammer game (however unlikely), these guys could work in a similar way.

you'd think humans would've started burning dead bodies at this point 😅

Comment for the Skull Throne

Yay!

A little off topic but if anyone remembers warhammer mark of chaos/battlemarch. Im looking for suggestions in games that are similar (rts with rpg and story driven narrative)

Your souls will join our dark crusade!

i prefer bad guy Mcbadface

hello milkandcookies" Nagash is All and All are in Nagash" He gave you freedom from Doubts and everlasting Life...in death with a desperate hunger for the warm flesh of Prey
