Ostland Lore Total War: Warhammer 

Norscans: *Invades the Empire* Empire: *Reverse card* Norscans: Wait that’s illegal.

My Empire army was an Ostland army. Then GW killed Warhammer Fantasy before I could even play a game with them. Nowadays they're quite happy to be serving in my Kings of War army, and they've made me very proud in many battles. Thanks for this video on my beloved Ostlanders.

ended up starting a warhammer fantasy rp game with a few friends because of these lore videos, loving them mate

Is it just me or is Mortkin the most noble Chaos Champion, as noble as they can be at least, he used the Chaos gods gifts to help him yet when he was on the brink of being a friggin Everchosen, he gave the Chaos gods a middle finger and went out on his own accord, now that his dept is done, what a badass

The Norscans were like " how dare they raid us while we were raiding them?!"

Norscan: They raided my home villages. Daemon: Yes. And you raided countless villages of theirs before that. That's Why I like you.

Ah poor poor Ostland, always the buffer after the buffer. But honestly in quite a few of my TTW games their either the first ones out, or some absurdly ballsy fighters. I remember fondly my Azhag the Salughterer the run, where I got up north late, having decided to conqure Bretonnia and the Border Princes instead. Everything was ravaged by Archaon and his cronies, wasn't a soul to slap save for some crappy, half starved beastmen and a bunch of garbage tier Norscan chariot and horsemen spam. Even the Vampires were pretty meh, their stacks being mostly garbage and their power halved by the Chaos rampage. But then I come up north and I see Ostland not only has most of what once was Nordland, but also having rebuilt Kislev. Apperently Von Roukov had decided to kick the shit out of Norsca, utterly stomp out most of Chaos' stacks, with only Kohlek and Sarthorel cowering up near Bearsonling camp with their Norscan pawns driven utterly out of the Old World. And den me and da boyz came in and smashed and burned all of it, conqured it, and then went on to smash da spikey gitz right and propa. So just to reiterate... Kislev falls, the Empire is ravaged by Vampires and Chaos, the Empire's allies, Dwarfs and Bretonnia, is utterly overwhelmed by seething bands of Greenskins. But Von Roukov, being the fucking monster he is, decides. "Nah fuck you, fuck your chariots, fuck your hellcannons, fuck your hordes of massive, lighting spewing, centaur things, and kiss my Runefang!" He then fights, for what could only be in game YEARS, utterly handing Norsca and Chaos, and later the VAMPIRES their collective asses, on FOUR FRONTS. First from the North, then the south THEN from the Norscan mountain settlements to the East and from the Sea of Claws. He does all of this, carves and empire out of the ashes of Kislev and Nordland, faces the apocalypse head on and slaps Archaon and Sgivald into bloody smears, rips Sarthorel and Kohelks armies apart. There is hope, there is this glimmer that the Empire might survive in a form... And then a bunch of green holigans from the south and their pet spiders come out of nowhere and burn it all to the ground. Grimdark indeed.

Summon the Elector Counts!

Damn. Mortkin sounds like a total badass, just like Settra. Mortkin used the chaos gods and gave them the finger when his quest was fulfilled.

Sleeping or learning lore... hard desicion

Great lore, its hard too find good quality lore right now when you don't own all the books.

The sheer enthusiasm in this guy's speech...earned a sub for sigmar

With the *maps* these videos you have made are among the best lore videos ever made on warhammer fantasy!

If I remember right, "Karaz Ankor" refers generally to the Karaks of the Worlds Edge Mountains. Or rather, to all the Dwarfs who swear fealty to the High King.

Very happy to see an Ostland video on your channel! Recently, I got a bit sick of Total Warhammer gameplay so I downloaded a Warhammer mod for medieval II and the faction I played was Ostland. It's very funny to see the poverty (I didn't have a dime in the beginning) and random beastmen hordes come back in my game. I even had to fight Norsca and Chaos Undivided Raids so much I got pissed and ventured North to kick their ass. Hilarious to see this being reflected in the lore. I noticed there wasn't much about the Knights of Bull in this video, do they not have very many merits to them? Loving the vids buddy

Wow your description of that fight was so badass!

Wergild is paid. Let Volganof burn to pay for my home of Ulfennik. Never again will I return there. My saga is ended. I choose now to die as a man, my will my own. I go now, too late mayhaps, to the halls of my fathers.

Would be nice if the Bull Warriors rode bulls.

Love russian names ;-) Btw, Bogoslov can be mirrored in english as Divine Speaker, or God tongue (Bog=God, slov=word). You would expect someone with a name like this to be warrior priest. And yes! Vodka! Getting thrilled for Kislev lore now.

Currently working on a mordheim warband for these fellows! Thanks for the video!

I'd love to see an update with the third edition of the game as a huge empire overhaul. one that adds more moot and gives a couple unique buildings per settlement. For example Ostland provinces would have a place for ogres and a place for the bull warriors. Also I think it would be a cool limit in most provinces where the universal buildings couldn't be built in some provinces. Like the gunnery buildings would be unavailable for Ostland. Also I think that would be a perfect limitation for the high elves if they only have unique military buildings bar 1 or 2. But they have all the unique military buildings per province on their own island. Good idea?

Ostland in Swedish means cheeseland

Stupid province always given me troubles in total war.

hey, love the video man! Is Skaven coming soon? Really looking forward to that one.

I have waited so long for this, I will get my popcorn

Please do a Hochland video, I love your work.

Everyone: Ostland My swedish brain: Cheeseland

When do you think you're going to get to the rest of the provinces such as Solland, Westerland, Drakwald, Hochland, Averland and the rest of them? Also I'd like to more about the Bretonnian dukedoms such as Bastonne, Bordeleaux, Cuileux, Glanborielle, Parravon, Quenelles and Aquitaine. Also Vampire Counts factions like the Vampire Coast, Templehof, Schwartzhafen or even Nehekhara. Basically I just want to know all sub-faction lore :p

Going from that insanely impassioned description of the battle immediately back to talking calmly about geography made me laugh.

Ostland Ogers Bull Warriors (Infantry Knightly Order) Fireloques of Ferlangen (Handgunners that are decent in melee)

Do lore of the witch hunter

great video great series

The Inept General - Awesome Lore videos with great detail! Do you have plans to make a Hochland Lore video? Thanks!

Do you think you can do some lore on the norscans

Norscans : NOOO THOSE DAME SOUTHERNERS CAN'T DO THE SAME THING WE DID TO THEM FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS !!!

Love this series! Whats the plan for after this? Karaks? :D

I wish the map in total war Warhammer was as detailed as these...

Ok this is not the ostland i was searching

Great video...

Nice video !

There is a species of bird in rl which puts its kill on thorns of a plant much in the same way to store for later.

More Warhammer Fantasy lore videos pls!!!

One thing I don't like about the Warhammer lore: everything seems to be well fleshed-out in the lore. I like a bit of mystery and unknown--something to figure out. but perhaps that is the point to facilitate the game.

Are you planning to cover the other factions' provinces, such as the Kingdomserenad of Ulthuan?

Do Averland lore plz :)

I didn't know that Jaghatai khan became the count of ostland when he disappeared.

Ostland, Eastern Realm, is also the name of Austria so I like that we slavs are the chaos warriors of our universe

Will you ever do one for Reikland?

So...who is poorer? Stirland or Ostland? This is a matter of imperial (dis?)honour!

Oleg is a chad, Mortkin is a churl.

Can we have Stirland next?

Doesn't Mordkin get blessings from Slaanesh?

Ostland lore: Actually some viking weeb lore

Are beast men and dwarfs in the new world? If so, where are they? and are any heroes well known?

Ostland: Kislev with better artillery.

I had a question are ogres completely accepted in ostland or are they suspected

Why do all these Warhammer forest never have simple threat's like bears or mosquito's. They are all filled with gobos and beastmen or evil tree's. Lol

Ostland is german and means the land of east

Oaah yeah nerdgasm

It's russia
