Skarr Bloodwrath & the Bloodstorm! What Units Will Come From End Times: Archaon? 

Also based on the reading of these various segments, I'm REALLY thinking that the new Khorne Lord is going to be the Bloodspeaker that is mentioned to an almost absurd extent during the lore for the Wrathmongers. Considering that they summon Daemons and such, sound essentially like Lord level cultists. No rules or art for them, but that's where I'm puttin my money.

I think the End Times thing I am most excited for is Gutrot Spume. I would love to play as a true Plague Fleet.

A love a good ol' Sotek narrated lore story. (I do also love the more chatty videos - but this scratches a certain itch)

Archaeon summoning the Skaramor Tribe is basically bringing the World Eaters Legion in Fantasy just without the guns

I’m super, SUPER excited for the prospect of End Times units and characters! Yeah we all know that the narrative sucked balls, but the beauty of Total War is that WE make our own narrative. At the end of the day, it’s just more toys to play with 😊

My only problem with the Blood Reapers and why I never had them in my BOK army is they really suffer from Late Stage GW Overdesigning. They don't need to have spikes on everything.

Not a unique take in the slightest, but Nagash and Thanquol are musts if we’re doing End Times. They’re probably the last two real heavy hitters CA is planning on adding.

I misread the title as “Ska Bloodtail.” Queek needs his domestic life partner.

O thanks so much i literally started looking up end time units but didn’t really have the time to look at them so this vid is really appreciated

"Who can stand against men who have subjugated daemons with nought but their sheer willpower?" A line of handgunners:

I wouldn't be surprised if GW gave us these End Times units as an excuse for not allowing anything from The Old World in Total War. Their policy of keeping settings separate is absurd.

Please let the Tomb Kings get Bone Dragons.

I hope this means we get Gutrot Spume, a naval Nurgle Faction would feel very unique I think compared to the alternatives. And the oceans of the games do feel underexplored or underutilized, so I think more factions that actively use them or even could get rewarded for using them would be neat.

Personally I think it is good that we have confirmation regarding ET stuff as it does mean characters like Thanquol and Nagash will get their big models. I am fond of the Skaramor because they were the beginning of the Blades of Khorne whose mortal side I consider Khorne's best mortal representation model wise. Fun fact: in terms of release date Skarr is the youngest of the playable characters. Now the question is regarding ET is which Nurgle characters we will get and which versions of the Skaven units we will get. In terms of what I am looking forward to with the ET stuff it is certainly Skreech for Skaven, Nagash, and the Maggoth riders.

CA being able to add End-times units and characters is exactly what i’ve been waiting for since WH 1!

There are a few good moments in the end times books but no one of them is great. The worst I think inarguably is the 3rd elf book, which decides to waste reader time on 20+ chapters of Malekith being a dick and Teclis being a traitor, then spend 3 chapters covering a supposedly 300 + year war that they have little to nothing to say about.

I never realized how demonic the new khorne stuff was. Digitigrade feet is top tier design.

Interesting, I didn’t know the Silverin were first mentioned in End Times. (I’m sure some content creator mentioned it, and I just forgot). But I totally understand why you don’t count them. They didn’t have a model release, or even rules; and there’s nothing particularly exotic, advanced or strange about them. They’re just spears with better protection.

3:35 this is what i was saying they need to stop the divide it shouldn't be fantasy and aos it should be old-world and aos under the name fantasy so people are like "Oh you like fantasy what part of the timeline do you like old world or aos"

So hype for this!!!!!

Really wish we got the Blue Avian Tzaangors in Shadows of Change. I would have loved a Tzaangor Bray-Shaman of Tzeentch with Lore of Beasts, Tzaangor Archers on Discs of Tzeentch alongside their infantry. Really think that would have fleshed out that sub race nicely and given Tzeentch a unique caster hero and a new Lore for the Tzeentch race.

Sotek, I was wondering if you could make a video abut missing content for the wood elves, I found they have, surprisingly, a lot of units that could still be added. -Spites -Chariots -Kindred: Laith-Kourn (shapeshifters) -Naiads -Wildcats -Horned Hunters -Incarnate elemental of life There´s the lore of Athel Loren too. And besides Araloth and Naieth the Prophetess another very cool character I think could be in the game is Cyanos from when he had wings. Maybe they could add a proper update for the faction, giving it a second mechanic, perhaps related to seasons, update some of the old models like the eternal guard and give us 3 or so proper Athel Loren forest battle maps. I also think Orion should be as fast as the cavalry since he runs alongside the wild riders and it´s also the perfect tool for a hybrid character like him. Is there anything I´ve missed?

Finally the chance for Verminlords and Thanquol is better than ever. Not sure if people would want another DLC for Skaven but there are enough units for a lord pack.

Great video buddy once more!

When do we get night time stories with Sotek where he's just reading the end time books?

For the resurrection i can see a few options. You could give him the phoenix resurrection, except it (almost) always activates but he needs to be in melee for say 30 secinds before it becomes useable. You could do something like tarmukans drain, this seems the mist likely as he would need a lord, hero or single ntity monster (aka a worthy opponent) around for it to proc. Or lastly something like the sisters of twilight where he rapidly regenerates when he gets low but only while in melee. Lastly he could have "immune to die" or what it is called for a time as long as the battle is in your favor, simmiliar to grimgors immortals.

Woot woot! So happy to be seeing the End Times units without having to play out the story campaign in the game, haha I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series!!

what i am more interested in is how old world units play into wh3. Especially with the long lived/immortal races like the tomb kings or dwarfs. since every unit in the Old World would still exist in the timeline of wh3 probably right? i mean like half the characters in wh3 are alive during the old world so i hope it makes sense for it to bring new content

I wish we got a story narrative heavy dlc/expansion at some point that officially retells and retcons the end times lore, but in the game, as an epic conclusion to the TW Warhammer trilogy. TWW3's tutorial campaign is so incredible, it's the best story content I've ever seen in a TW game. I wish they would make that, but longer, and with branching selectable story paths for the forces of order and the forces of chaos. The green skins and undead could get lumped in with order and the skaven and norsca would be lumped in with chaos. I want an actual cutscene fight if you're playing as Grimgor or Archeon where you actually get to see Grimgor kick him in the nads lol. I wanna see the actual moment Franz sacrifices himself to become the avatar of sigmar. This expansion content would be at the very end after most all the end times units are already added to the game, so this final story narrative dlc would only come with one or two more units per faction.

i got an majormini ad before the video mans doing well

I'm not sure I'm too excited for the End Times stuff. Some of it - mainly the characters - is cool, but a lot of the units, at least from a lore perspective, feel like self-indulgent power creep where the writers were just tasked with coming up with the most ludicrous unit ideas possible to the point where they could wipe their butts with the heroes and other elite units of the mortal factions without breaking a sweat. You thought Khorne Chosen were scary, with their hero-level stats? Well now there's a hither-to completely unknown faction that puts Bloodletters inside of them too, and they're stronger than either! You thought Rat Ogres were scary? Now they're even more drugged up, and they have ratling guns fused to them! You thought necromancy was limited to mortal monsters and infantry, but actually Nagash turned the angels of a god into undead units! And so, so, so much more... Perhaps all of this would've been less offensive if written over a period of 40 years, but the fact that all of it came in the span of a single edition and pretty much made most formerly-known units in the lore impotent by comparison is a giant middle finger to everyone who ever cared about the franchise. At least that's my opinion. And for that reason, I'm not very excited about the possibility of these units being added to the game.

But did you know about the Silverin Gu.... - Cheers sotek!

Alcohol poisoning speedrun any%, Take a shot every time the word "bood" or "skull" Is said 😂

I hope we get wrathmongers just for new animations

You can tell that GW was planning for them to be Age of Sigmar models, because they have such over the top and un-grounded designs.

sold going to go do another Khorn camp with all the mods that already add all this. Figure it will let me judge the DLC better.

Glotkin should be a legendary hero

I'm a bit worried about End Times units feeling a bit out of place since they are, imo, more AoS looking than Fantasy looking.

Since skullreapers and wrathmongers are pretty similar in terms of model count, how elite they are and in function, I have a feeling that we are not getting both of them as fully fledged units. Probably something like skullreapers being 32 model count AP magic attack unit and wrathmongers being an RoR variant with bonus vs infantry. Honestly khorne isn't exactly starving for more melee infantry or monsters. What I'd hope to see is ranged pressure options, even something basic like reskinned norscan axe throwers. And light cavalry with better mass than flesh hounds for countercharging other cavalry.

Did you just manage to make something from the end times sound cool?

Ka'bandha has a chance boyz pray for it!

I dont understand why everyone is like END TIMES CONFIRMED FOR WH3, just from 1 unit being confirmed that so happened to be in the End Times? CA just chose a hero from the lore to add. Doesn't mean anything is confirmed?

So there is hope for tzaangors beaks

No i don't want AoS Dorghar I want it's horsey form left alone

Wrathmongers seem a bit op😅 What can stop them? 😅

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOOOD!!! KARNETH DEMANDS SKULLS!!

Are you olanning to do similar video's type for other race like vampires for example?

What’s an End Times? I’ve been assured by many (Perhaps most) content creators that End Times never happened, it never existed.

@loremasterofsotek I've heard others say Skarr Bloodwrath should've been a LL instead of a LH. I was curious what your thoughts on this were and if it makes more sense one way or the other.

Here is a hot take. I don't want these khrone units. Why you ask? We already have plenty of melee blenders in khrone. What niche is this going to fill? If the WoC units where not added to khrone then I see this being a good addition, but now? I think they will be immediately forgotten about. Honestly more excited for the characters for Khrone more than the units for this reason.

I know every fan in fantasy hates him but I want to see Kabandha

What a boring characters honestly. The strongest, bloodiest, killed this and that, etc etc, yeah juts a Khorne guy then. Hopefully he will be a cool characters in TW!

If they can now use end time units. Does this mean we can get Araby and Amazon armys ?

Those guys are so edgy. 😂

i actually love separation of settings, so i can not care about AoS and like warhammer as it is.

The End Times didn't happen. The characters and units on the other hand...

Not a big fan of these guys.

Gelt's Pegasus got a name in the Endtimes! And then a name in TWW. Hmm... they were always intending it! See! The Proof! ...Ugh. Khorne. I find them so boring.

I think ca is very hesitant to use aos of 40k units in case that they make a age of Sigmar or 40k game. So units dont cross over

Still kinda hate their look. Just seems out of place with the rest of fantasy and look like they belong to a different game. Which was indeed true.

am I the only one that hate the look of this guys? Like why are they wearing armored overalls? They where so close to being cool, all they had to do was get rid of the armored overall or just give them full chest plate and for the love of god PUT ON A HELMET. God I hate how few people wear helmets in warhammer.
