NOOB'S GUIDE to BE'LAKOR 

Belakor is like a Saturday morning cartoon villain that never wins but swears he'll get you next time only to be beaten again

So glad they were able to accurately portray the powers of the Queen of England by placing Belakor in the warhammer equivalent of the UK.

"He was a good Daemon... **Smacks Lips** What a rotten way to be banished."

The best thing about Volkmar on the banner is that in lore he was so inspired by Sigmar that he freaking broke the banner through just brute strength and escaped. Like those memes of buff Jesus breaking the cross

Also Archaon is Be’lakor’s son from a one night fling when Belakor disguised himself a norscan warrior. So uh technically Archaon just one upped his dad

Let’s not forget that one White Dwarf issue where Be’lakor lost handily to Tiqtakto because of *ROCKS*

The ultimate tragedy of His life is that the 13th Everchosen actually won. And now even in a new age and realm He can never get out from under Archaons domination.

So funny thing about AoS Be'Lakor is that his finally about to (in GW timeline so give it 6 or more years to actually happen) challenge Archeon. He even created a Chaotic storm that can stop the Stormcasts from getting back to AoS heaven to be reforged and its also been responsible for wiping out a ton of the Kharadon Overloads sky-ports so its nice to see him still active. Also his newest mini is insanely cool.

I'm just Saying if Be'lakor doesn't get a unique defeat trait for punking Archaeon I will be sad afterall if they can do it for Brettonia they can do it for him

Gee Be'lakor what should we do tonight? - The same thing I do every night try to take over the world

Noticed how Cody completely slipped over N'kari.

2:33 I noticed an inaccuracy, Be'lakor doesn't need to be in a region to place a rift there, you just need visibility over said region, meaning if one of your vassals are invading Kislev while you're down in Brettonia you can place a rift in either area.

I just noticed Archaon is the 13th everchosen, 13 is the sacred number of the horned rat, so he not only represents the big four as their champion but also the horned rat as unofficial 5th god

I feel like the big bonus Be'Lakor has that everyone is sleeping on is his ability to upgrade the 4 minor daemons into exalted minor daemors via his warband upgrade system. As far as I know it means that he is the only WoC that has access to thos units (unless the CoC have exclusive chaos gifts that give them access to thos too), and that's pretty good.

It'll always feel weird to hear of these dark evil demons, horrible End Times and bloodshed, but then the game itself is so ridiculously colorful and pristine.

The actor who played thorin has lived long enough to become a villain. Yet at the same time he died a hero in the hobbit.

slight correction, unlike what the cinematic shows, the gods didn't destroy his body. It was just when he was forced back to the realms of chaos after the vortex was created he clung on longer than any other daemon but still was forced back and then they cursed him. Also he didn't crown the every chosen every time, sometime he just buggered off to do his own thing, sometimes he killed the everchosen.

What Be'lakor forgets, is Tzeentch. Our favourite space mollusc being a part of chaos, means that Be'lakor now being a daemon prince and thus made of chaos is forever controlled by Tzeentch's bullshit plans.

Sounds like Be'lakor wants to take the title of the Neverchosen 🤔

I should hope that Be'lakor gets a landmark in Albion and / or Mordheim.

Imagine being fired from your job and having to help your replacement move into your office….I’m starting to understand why Belakor is so pissed!

The Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain thing seems to be enforced in Immortal Empires cause I don't know any other reason why I get "Heroic Victory" auto resolves whenever the old guy attacks my settlements but everyone else is just "Decisive Defeat"

Oh, and now in 40K, he COMES UP BEHIND VASHTORR WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!

belakor is so cool in both 40k and fantasy

He's like Pinky and the Brain. Always getting out of his cage to take over the world, but back in by the end of the episode.

The starscream of the Warhammer universe.

1:51 Belakor is the Nightman confirmed.

Warms my heart to see a reference to "The Gamers" (almost as much as backstabbing someone with a ballista)

I think the other demon factions should be able to use the demonic rifts as well. They start off with no settlement but the play can decide where there rift opens into. So if your playing a coop campaign. You can just choose a spot near them if you want to.

8:56 Now there's something I never thought I'd see referenced. Nicely done!

I’ve got barely any clue of the lore this masterpiece of a channel to understand so much with such classic comedy. Keep up the good work an easy subscribe.

You'd think the Chaos Gods could have decided to smite him *after* he conquered the Mortal Realm for Chaos instead of right when he was about to do it.

That turn General into Daemon Prince mechanic sounds awesome ngl

I think this is the earliest I got to a Cody Bonds video

Archaeon just wants daddy to love him, but Be'lakor feels threatened by his son's accomplishments.

I really Like idea of Some chaos aligned lords being able to succed archaon as everchosen, I remember that wulfric was able to do it and I Hope that idea will be expanded when immortal empires relase

Cody, you would reference the gamers 😂 need to rewatch all of it now

My headcanon is that Be'lakor was a Lizardman originally. I like the idea that he was the Lizardman who "went bad".

"In a move of bukkake brilliance". Good lord, I'd never expected to hear anything as remotely vile and hilarious as that.

I love you for that The Gamers reference good sir.

Oh my god that gamer reference sent me back 2 decades.

I just wanted to point out that Belakor Tzeench portal spawn rite is way stronger, you can actually use it on ANY army, not just on Belakor's one but on anyone's and even on enemy armies. This means you just need to send a bunch of heroes around the map to be able to spawn portals by targeting enemy armies and spread portals everywhere, it's insane.

The Shadow Solid reference - props

8 months later, here i thought that i was getting a guide to how to not screw up using belakor, yet instead got something better. very funny, very informative. never knew the lore. subbed.

Was honestly hoping Be'lakor would appear in the Realm of Chaos campaign as the fifth Chaos Champion in the race to Zanbaijin. That would've been cool.

imagine you give the chaos warriors the confederation mechanic like the orks and norscans

The master lore of shadows and lord of losers.

Dude, really great video! I loved this format with the story telling!

Today when playing as Be’lakor, I used a shadow portal to teleport directly to bretonnia’s capital while it was left undefended, and then the turn after, burned it down and then left through the same portal

holy shid, the gamers (2002) reference was such a throw back. thank you so much for reminding me of that movie

He is just standing there menacingly

Yoo I didn't know that was his voice actor

"Bellator" is latin for Warrior. GW swapped out the T for a K and put in a prosthetic apostrophe to make their Daemon Prince's name.

Heya bud, great video! It’s very well put together, informative, and EXTREMELY entertaining! Keep up the great work!😂

Only know about Belakor because every now and again Markus Kreuber roasts tf out of him in the chaos wastes

Really like the ambient music in this one :)

Belakor vs Netflix Castlevania's Death. Hype!

What Make the other demon Prince different then because pretty much just sounds like he is just better in all ways than the other demon Prince you know the one for the longest time everybody thought was going to be him but actually was just a random guy from the Frozen North

YES! more noob guides the best part of being a warhammer fan and makes me more sad for not having any of the dlc you need to pay for

His in-game voice acting is smooth as silk as well

I'm surprised this video came out before Immortal Empires made it's debut. You'd think Cody would wait till he could praise/lambaste the implementation of any factions in it.

Honestly, the anticipation for N'Kari is going to do me in!

I have to disagree about him being underwhelming in melee. In my experience with him, when built correctly and with good items, he's almost invincible in melee combat and I've yet to encounter an enemy lord who could stand up to him in a one-on-one fight, including Skarbrand. When this is combined with his Penumbral Pendulum, Pit of Shades, The Withering and his regen ability, he becomes a 1 lord doomstack who only really has trouble against enemy doomstacks. My boy Be'lakor is OP.

Huzzah! The Gamers reference!

Gotta love the “he just walks into the chaos realm”😂😂😂

If there isn't a special trait for beating him with tiqtaqto or vice versa I'm gonna be upset.

6:33 "once they get wind of his ickscape" ickscape = icky escape? fitting 😂

I cant believe you used a clip from "The Gamers" its been years since I watched that fantastic movie!

Be'Lakor might be a near impossibly unshakable force of pure chaos & destruction. But, the first time he met a Dawi slayer, he only thought one thing - "They're getting good at this"

Oh shit I've never played as Belakor and didn't realize he was voiced by Richard Armitage

Everones laughing till the angry dwarf with the god ax shows up with a poet.

I haven't watched The Gamers in years! Nice reference.

IN A MOVE OF BUKKAKE BRILLIANCE Why is nobody mentioning that this is the best line of 2022

Thanks for adding in The Gamers clip!

Man, I was sad when this wasn't a video about the band.

I hope they give.hima quest battle for his sword in immortal, I really like the extra dialog

who would win? -A daemon prince who wants to be a god or -a cute daemon with a demon slayer

I did NOT expect a The Gamers reference, but here we are. Truly a man of culture and memes.

The DLC abbreviation is CoCs and no pun on it? Sadge

In my last empire campaign I recruited a huntsman general and a bunch of tier one spears and archers to just defend reikland while Franz was off fighting the vamps. This huntsman army went on to have victory after victory against kemmler and the orcs. I eventually added a few mortors and huntsman but for the most part it was still just tier 1 trash. Well eventually Belakor showed up and this lowly huntsman put him down multiple times (net of amantok) is a god send. The units started getting really high in rank and I started pushing belakors island. I took the first settlement and caught him in an ambush, then finished wiping out his capital. I love that this little huntsman army of tier 1 ( rank 9) units became the scourge of a demon lord. I've pretty much dropped that campaign because by turn 130 the campaign map lags too much, but as gelt and Franz handle the wild hunt crisis, that huntsman general is razing norsca to the ground

Love the addition of the gamers in here. Great guide :D

Never forget that in the End Times Gotrek threw a Greater daemon of Khorne to Bel'Akor and cut his arm off

5:00 That's a weird comparison considering how forgiving Elden Ring is. Not just far more forgiving than all other fromsoft games but it's more forgiving than most linear games because if you're struggling you can always just go somewhere else or change your playstyle.

Holy shit! I guess Tomb Kings NEED those constructs to deal with him. How do the Undead not just turn to dust the moment he kills a character in combat?

Belakor is the animal familiar in the Magical Girl anime

Love these vids, keep it up!

Fuck, I've never clicked on something so fast. xD

Please Ca remove the warriors of chaos limit for their special units like shaggots and cannons and make the upkeep not soul based, (for the daemons is perfect For the others no) Let us upgrade ogres to the shaggots

The best use of Charlie Kelly 👏

9:00 I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!!!!!!

"Outstrips his abilities" I know a saturnine fanboy when I hear one 😂

I managed to get a demon prince within the first 20 turns. You just use hero actions against them, like you said. There are plenty of secondary armies walking around.

So when are we going to get a noobs guide to Archeon? I’ve been waiting on that for ages!

Shouldn't Be'Lakor be listed in the Daemons of Chaos Race instead of the Warriors of Chaos? Yes he was born a mortal, but so was the Daemon Prince.

Also an amazing band if you’re into melodic death metal.

I still don't know why the custom Daemon lord isn't just lumped in with warriors of chaos like belakor with similar Daemon focused armies. Heck you even give him an extra mechanic with the new woc update

Missed opportunity not mentioning how he's Archaeon's Dad... Unless that's been retconned, lore being how it is.

I need to go and see the gamers once more ^^

Gamers reference at 8:56 caught me offguard

I really liked this video, but i was looking fo a video in the army guide, because i have no idea what units to but in his army like you said in you video XD
