Total War Warhammer 2 All Cinematic Trailers Reaction (first half) 

Thanks to everyone that is helping us find the missing Total War Warhammer 2 trailers we haven't seen. Is there a video out there that has all the Total War Warhammer 3 trailers?

You still gotta react to the rest of the trailers for Total War Warhammer 2! Their quality grows exponentially. They're called: The Prophet & the Warlock The Hunter & the Beast The Shadow & the Blade The Warden & the Paunch The Twisted & the Twilight The Silence & the Fury And there's also a High Elves trailer but it's in a format of 360°

the full armored guy u were wondering about at 7:52, that is a mask. the extremely abbreviated notes for his lore was he got full body burns and was sealed inside the armor to keep himself alive, AKA the Darth Vader of Warhammer fantasy. also i mainly play dark elves and tomb kings

The rats are called "Skaven", they're incredibly fun to play. One od my favorite voicelines is when you have a commander set sail on the ocean and they say, " Hahaha big puddle!" They're basically like mad scientists mixed with methheads who throw endless numbers at there enemies. It's great

The Vampire coast leader that was talking in the DLC trailer had his mind fractured by a Lizardmen artifact. So he has many personalities as a consequence of it. He is now obsessed with finding all of them to heal his mind and becoming one mind again. As a person who is interested in ancient egypt and its style, I must agree with you that Tomb Kings are a favourite.

A little history on Luthor Harkon (the vampire pirate, for context): First we see him is in old Nehekara (Egypt), serving as a guardsman under Queen Neferata, the first vampire. (Harkon's actually part of Abhorash's cadre, but that's a long explaination and I'd have to talk about the history of the blood dragon vampire knights.) He suddenly vanishes without a trace for the next few thousand years and suddenly reappears in an excavated sarcophagus on a merchant ship being taken to the empire for study. Long story cut short, some dipshit wakes him up and he gets a little 'sucky' with the crew, taking the ship for himself and going off to raid and search for power in the one thing older than even the elves to Nehekaran knowledge: the lizard men. So a tomb guard becomes a bit of a would-be tomb robber, looking for power. Unfortunately he runs headlong into an ancient trap and gets his brain scrambled, going completely mad with a fractured mind and multiple personalities. He then goes off with what's left of his sanity to try and find a way to fix himself. So yes, your guess about a "curse" is actually quite on point!

Actually, you can play with all the factions from game 1 and game 2. There is a game map called mortal empires which combines them all. Same will be true for game 3 factions. So, in the end all factions will be playable in one huge map. Trailers you missed are: Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Prophet & the Warlock Trailer Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Hunter & The Beast Trailer Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Shadow & the Blade Trailer Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Warden & the Paunch Trailer Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Twisted & the Twilight Trailer Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / The Silence & the Fury Trailer

"What's with the rat?" oh my friend, saying that in Warhammer Fantasy is probably a death sentence haha. Just because the Skaven are one of the most (or probably the most) dangerous enemies you can face in the fantasy world. And that's because you normaly can figure out what your enemies want, the orcs, the chaos, the dark elves, etc. They usually follow a pattern, but it's too hard to know what the Skaven really want, and surely by the time you find out it will be too late. They have an empire under the earth that no one knows its total size, but some believe that they practically occupy the entire underground world and their number is practically infinite, because no matter how many you kill of them, there will always be more. They are treacherous, cunning, carry plagues with them, mutations and have quite advanced weapons technology for how barbaric they seem to be. And trust me, they are no fools. And on the vampire coast question, why are they so obsessed with treasure? well, they're not, at least not all of them. The one you see speaking is Luthor Harkon. a Vampire lord who wanted to enter a Lizardmen temple to plunder its treasures but it was protected by runes, a type of magic used by the Lizardmen. He wanted to force his way in using his own vampire magic, but everything went wrong, not only did he almost die, but his consciousness was divided into several personalities that take turns taking control of him, and not only that, but he also lost his Magic. That's why when he speaks he refers to "us" when in fact he is talking about himself. That's why he's obsessed with treasures, because he believes that in some temple, the Lizardmen have some secret cure to his condition, to get his magic back, and to put his mind back together once more.

Cool thing about Total War: Warhammer series is that if you own the previous games, the armies that were in the first game and second game could be imported into the newest game, so you never feel like you’re leaving behind your favorite factions.

tomb kings are a personal fav of mine as well, love their aesthetic. As for the vampire coast, they have by far the best trailer. It gets even better when you understand the lore behind that Vampire pirate guy who was digging. He always says things like "The tales we could tell" and at first it makes you think hes talking about multiple people. But once you understand that he has tons of different personalitys all vying for dominance in his head, and suddenly his lines take on a bit of a different meaning. Guy messed with ancient Lizardman magical treasures and it fucked up his mind big time, and now hes just trying to find those trinkets again so he can put himself back together. There are a few more trailers for Total War Warhammer 2 still out there! Love to see ya react to that.

If you wanna learn more about some of the specific characters from these games, Cody Bonds’ “Noob’s guide to Total War: Warhammer” videos are hilarious and informative

Warhammer TW 3 is a huge step up, you are gonna love the trailers.

YAY! It's my birthday and this is the best thing to see! I love Warhammer! ...and you guys of course! Thank you

"What is with the rat?" Man's world was about to be changed forever.

I love how this dude cycles between silent focus and losing his damn mind. I feel it man

haha literally just finished a campaign as the High Elves, so excited for Warhammer 3. There were originally 4 races to play when the game first launched but they added more races and ones that appeared in the first game.

I seem to remember more hype centered on the Skaven at launch but maybe they weren’t as featured in the trailers. For me they’re one of the most interesting races in fantasy and I’ve read every book that I know of containing them. Hyped for “The Prophet and the Warlock “ trailer reaction next batch. I really got a kick out of how they did it.

"What is the Great Purpose?". Ah the eternal question.

Can we all agree that vampire pirates with giant crabs and ship golems is one of the greatest ideas in history of Warhammer?

There are a lot of DLC trailers you missed that show off all the other factions pretty dang well! Really well done trailers too.

If there are red-eyed rats, you can bet on one thing; there is an army of Skaven somewhere under your feet... and when the vermintide comes out where you can see it, it's usually too late...

Prophet and the Warlock and The Warden and the Paunch are my favourite trailers they have done for Warhammer 2. Skaven (rats) are my favourite race to play they have access to nukes and machine guns

Awesome reaction! Vampire pirates are also my favorite faction in warhammer 2. Also, since there aren't any videos with all the warhammer 3 trailers, I'm just gonna put a list of the trailers here There are 2 types of 'cinematic trailers'. The unit showcases, that focuses on one unit, while cinematic trailers focus on 1+ factions. You can skip unit showcases if you want to, they're not as important as the cinematic ones. Here's the list of all the trailers: -Total war warhammer III announcement trailer(cinematic trailer) -Trial by fire trailer(cinematic trailer) -Enter the world of Kislev(cinematic trailer) -Kislev winged lancers unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Kislev War Sleds unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Enter the world of Khorne(cinematic trailer) -Khorne flesh hounds unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Khorne Bloodthrone unit spotlight(unit showcase) -The dawn of Grand Cathay(cinematic trailer) -Enter the world of Grand Cathay(cinematic trailer) -Terracotta Sentinels unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Enter the world of Tzeentch(cinematic trailer) -Flamer of tzeentch unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Pink Horrors of Tzeentch unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Join the Ogre Kingdoms(cinematic trailer) -Enter the world of Ogre Kingdoms(cinematic trailer) -Stonehorn unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Firebelly unit spotlight(unit showcase) -A covenant with Chaos(cinematic trailer) -Enter the world of Nurgle(cinematic trailer) -Nurglings unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Enter the world of Slaanesh(cinematic trailer) -Fiends of Slaanesh unit spotlight(unit showcase) -Chaos Undivided(cinematic trailer) -Soul Grinders spotlight(unit showcase) Now, there are some gameplay trailers but I didn't really know if you would watch those, so I didn't put them on the list

saying "you're very full of yourself" about Settra...oh you have NO idea

9:53 The giant Skaven monster is called a Hell Pit Abomination, created Clan Moulder, one of the four Great Clans amongst the Skaven. They're the Dr. Frankensteins of Skaven society, and spend their time creating all manner of twisted monsters to serve in the Skaven armies, frequently by mutating existing creatures with warpstone or fusing them together with other beasts. In one of the Gotrek and Felix novels, Skavenslayer, they aid in the invasion of Nuln by making a horde of large, fast-breeding super-aggressive rats to devour every foodstuff in the city and leave the defenders too starving to fight back. The other main Skaven clans are Eshin (ninja rats), Pestilens (plague cultists who spend their time brewing and spreading horrifying diseases), and Skryre (who make warpstone-powered magitek devices, like the Warp Lightning Cannon and the Doomsphere). 12:04 Another layer to the "Blood for the Blood God" trailer that you might find interesting is that its two main characters, Tyrion of Ulthuan (the High Elf with the flaming sword who acts as the narrator) and Malekith the Witch King (the big scary Darth Vader-lookalike) are actually very distant cousins. They're both descended from Aenarion the Defender, first of the Phoenix Kings; Malekith is Aenarion's son with his second wife, Morathi (the black-haired woman in the Dark Elves trailer), while Tyrion and his twin brother Teclis (the mage in the cinematic trailer) can trace their ancestry back six thousand years to Aenarion's first marriage. It all comes down to blood indeed...

Here's some interesting lore I think, so the rats, called the Skaven, are actually ruled by a council not a single king, like how most fantasy things have a rat race

23:00 Masterful timing of the arsenal's percussion with the beat of the music makes this my favourite out of all the Total War trailers!

also about the crocodile dude there are multiple versions of them They are called ushabti and they are part of the construct tree they fall apart over time and are my favorite faction

Love your reactions, cant wait for more! :D

the dude in the full dark armor is a dark elf named Malekith, hes the son of an elf hero...... somewhere in his story he got burned badly and the armor keeps him alive so long as he never removes it, dude is bad ass though

23:34 the pirate there is luther harcon, his personality was split and besides raiding coastal cities, he gathers relics from the lizardmen to make himself HIM again, and not the 10-20 others he becomes from time to time.

A bit more information for you guys, the base game comes with those 4 factions you saw, more were added with free content patches and paid dlc. The gist of the main game is to fight over that swirly vortex you see in the backgeound, some people want to stabalize it to prevent chaos from manifesting in the world and others want to destroy it. You get 3 guesses to figure out what happens since Total Warhammer 3 shows so many demons. Important info if you guys want to play, mutliplayer is fun BUT it removes most cutscenes and story elements from the game, so there is always the choice to tap out between yourselves and play in singleplayer. Otherwise the gameplay stays the same. In multiplayer you both choose factions to play as, not always close to each other, you can quite literally be playing together but have your factions on the opposite sides of the map and be unable to interact. But during battles you can give soldiers to your ally to take control of so you can both participate. Aside from the 4 main factions all the dlc ones have their own unique goals and mechanics, for example the pirate vampires want to collect all the lizard trinquets to do something. As always i love your reactions and hope you guys have a nice day.

The Queen from the Queen & The Crone trailer, Alarielle the Radiant, is probably my favorite lord to play as. Lore-wise, she is similar to Galadriel in some ways, but different in others. She was one of the youngest, if not the youngest, elves ever to be crowned Everqueen, and she was crowned when the High Elves' island home was basically being burnt to the ground by Dark Elves. She helped rally the High Elven army to finally retake their homeland. Unlike the previous Everqueens who actively sought to avoid the battlefield, Alarielle instead views it as her duty to face the forces that threaten the balance of the world directly. As one of the two 'mortal' representatives of the Elven goddess Isha (the other being the quasi-immortal Wood Elven queen Ariel), Alarielle actively seeks to hunt down and destroy the servants of the Chaos gods, such as Crone Hellebron.

4:14 the great purpose is the mission of the lizard men. They were created by a now missing (extinct?) race of super powerful beings called the Old Ones to maintain balance in the material realm. 8:00 yes that is just a mask he was disfigured when he tried to seize control of the elves and was then cast out, creating the dark elf factions 12:18 Blood for the blood god is the war cry of the followers of Khorne, this trailer was for a DLC to add gore effects to the campaign. 13:47 the Egyptian god with a crocodile head would be Sobek lord of rivers. 26:49 you can play as the other ones they came later as Expansions that’s why they had their own trailers.

Fun fact: They released the dark elf trailer of the man in full armour, called Malekith like one month after the star wars movie rogue one came out. Having the famous and awesome darth vader scene at the end, and you can clearly see they took inspiration from that darth vader scene with malekith.

26:46 The Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast were DLC races post launch.

You may call that lizard Jabba but he can move mountains with his mind 🤣🤣

Thank you for looking at these trailers. One thing to consider is that the Everqueen Allarielle is not just a Galadriel, she is the living embodiment of the Elven Mother Goddess, Isha (Literally her Avatar). Her mere presence disrupts daemons and she is a direct descendant of the first Everqueen, and her body guard of the all female Handmaidens are one of the most deadly fighting forces in the world. It is said that her beauty is second to none and only the dark enchantments of the Dark Elf Queen, Morathi comes close (though her beauty is only sustained by bathing in the blood of the dead). The High Elves are something of a passion of mine, it is something I love to gush about and often do to my friends until they are sick of it and ask me to stop.

This is awesome guys, love watching the Warhammer content. Excited to see the rest of the Warhammer 2 trailers and then Warhammer 3. The best is still to come!

Yess!! i've been waiting so long for this!! a priceless reaction thank you so much guys!!😁😍

Can't wait for the DLC trailers to be watched too. Their titles are: "The Shadow and the Blade Trailer" "The Hunter and the Beast Trailer" "The Prophet & the Warlock Trailer" "Official The Twisted & The Twilight Trailer" "The Silence & the Fury Official Trailer"

Yes, we are waiting for a full reaction to all Total War Warhammer 2 vids. I hope this will not be difficult for you. I love you and hug you tenderly. I swear by the beard you are a nice couple

"in the Grimm darkness of the future, there is only *WAR*

"They look like the Dark Eldar" Well, that's probably because they basically are

the 'Jabba' are Slanns, the most powerful beings in that world. I mean.. Kroak literally saved the planet from a meteor.. and he was dead for a few thousand years when he did so. Slanns are just sooooooo powerful

FINALLY ! I was waiting for that ! GOOD JOB TO YOU COUPLE ! :p

Man you can't miss the cinematic of the priest and the warlock

I see some comments here answering your questions, I'll quickly summarize some of them: The last trailer you saw is for the base game of Warhammer 2 which only launched with 4 factions. Later down the line they launched more factions, such as the Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast. Additionally, they brought in a myriad of factions from Warhammer 1 in some form or another to be played as well through their "The and The " DLC packs, each pack introducing 2 new playable lords belonging to some faction or another. The Queen and the Crone for example is one such DLC that introduces a couple really powerful female leaders for the High Elf and Dark Elf factions respectively. The vampire pirate is Luthor Harkon, once a treasure hunting vampire. He made the mistake of getting caught in one of the billions of traps the Lizardmen has put in their temples and as a result, he now carries the mother of all headaches. His mind fractured into a dozen different personalities, each vying for control over the body. Any normal mortal would've died from the strain but this guy is a vampire, and thus possess the secrets of immortality hence he's still up and at it. He believes that collecting enough Lizardmen artifacts will allow him to put his mind back together. That giant sea monster you wondered about is part of his in-game storyline. Harkon and the whole Vampire Coast is interesting because they are the only Warhammer faction that was invented by Creative Assembly, rather than Games Workshop who owns the Warhammer and 40k franchises. The guy in black armor is called Malekith, ruler of the Dark Elves. He believes himself rightful ruler of ALL Elves, but his claim of being Phoenix King was rebuked and he was defeated long ago. He's been nursing a millenia old grudge against the High Elves and wants them all dead and gone so that Dark Elves are the only Elves. The woman besides him who eggs him on is his own mother, who fell from grace alongside her son and has an equal grudge against the High Elves because of it. The "Rat Kings Army", well that claim is close to it. The rat lord in red armor is Queek Headtaker, probably one of the smartest Skaven. Skaven is the name of the ratmen and they are terrifying. Now, fun fact about Skaven society: If you stab your superior in the back, you take his position. As such, there is no loyalty among the ratmen and the strong survive while the weak perish. Skaven also have no concept of population control and will breed at cataclysmic levels always. This leads to millions of ratmen dying of starvation every couple years as there's too many mouths and too little food. On the plus side, they will eat ANYTHING including fallen enemies. The Skaven all answer to something called The Council of 13 and 13 is a number that shows up often in their culture. If you listen closely in their trailer, the bell tolls 13 times, this is in reference to one of the Skaven legends. Copying that is too much here, but its called "The Doom of Kavzar" if you wanna check it out. Warhammer 3 is gonna be amazing and I'm greatly looking forward to seeing your reactions to the trailers and cinematics released for it! ^_^

Cannot WAIT until you look at the Total War Warhammer 3 trailers, the game is going to release in February so there aren't many trailers yet, but I can't wait to see what you think of the Ogres

Yesss was waiting for this. Thanks for reacting guys, hope you enjoyed it!

Tomb Kings are my favourite faction. Found them years ago when I went past a Hobby Store and they had the factions leader, Settra the Imperishable advertised. I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt at the time so it hooked me then and there. No regrets now, my Tabletop Army is huge for the Tomb Kings. I also have a Settra tattoo. Glad you guys liked them because I had a nerdout when the trailer first launched.

Rule Number 1 of the Tomb Kings: Settra does not serve, *Settra rules* !

Great reaction. I've been looking forward to this. Yeah, you basically missed all DLCs (except for the Queen and the Crone). The best thing about this game is that it adds up to the previous one. So if you have WH1 you can play with Vampires in WH2 it's great. It basically made the world MUCH bigger. It is the biggest total war game world ever that will get even bigger with WH3. All races, factions, units, etc. you see in these trailers are in the game. These may be cinematic trailers but the game looks almost 90% identical to what you see in the videos. I only hope we get the rest of the trailers before WH3 trailers so we have it all in chronological order :D

The Skaven the giant rats on the tabletop you can destroy your own rats as you try ito beat the other army. There was a rule in the older version called Life is cheap. You play cowardly. The giant wheel that the rats had was called the doom wheel.

yeah the tomb kings is my favorite faction, they are just awesome.

The Agypten god with the krokodile head is Sobek^^

I'm not sure if you've seen Death of Hope but it's something I'd strongly recommend watching.

The remaining trailers that you guys didn't cover for Warhammer II are pretty hype. Would recommend.

Been waiting every second for this one since you watched warhammer 1.

"You're very full of yourself." Of course he is. Settra does not serve.

You should look at the campaign cinematics. They're awesome!

How are you suppose to beat that guy.............with a club, while he sleeps.

I will never forgive Total War for not calling the game Total War: Hammer. It's just too perfect

Another great review guys! As a big fan of both the Tomb Kings and ancient mythology, I thought you might find this interesting: There is an Egyptian god who had a crocodile's head. His name was Sobek, and he was regarded as both a protector and a destroyer; mainly, he was one of the fertility gods, and also a god of military might. He had a fierce personality, but was often called upon for protection from the dangers of the Nile. I can't remember the name of it, but at Sobek's principal temple the priests used to keep a sacred crocodile, which was believed to be Sobek incarnate!

I started Warhammer Total War 2, like 3 Weeks ago. I instantly fell in Love with the Skaven (Ratmen) to be more Specific Clan Skryer, i mean c'mon Rats with Gatling guns and Nukes in a Fantasy Game, the're awesome.

The sun will never set on the Rat Empire

The Tomb King reminds us The Mummy , and The Vampire Coast reminds us Pirate Of The Caribbean. Warhammer Fantasy made them like the movie parodies.

Really looking forward to more Warhammer Reactions.^^

"What's the Great Purpose?" The Great Purpose - or to use it's Normal name "The Great Plan" is the goal that the Old Ones set for the planet. More than 15.000 years before the time of hte game the planet the game takes place on had been colder and further away from the sun and it's dominant inhabitants had been Dragons and Dragon Ogres (the big 4 centaur like thing from a game 1 trailer). Then the Old Ones arrived. They had decided that this planet - with it's large potential - would have a central place in their unknowable plans and so constructed stellar gates at both poles to allow easy travel to their new colony. Then they used their immense powers to shift the planet's orbit closer to the sun which caused ice to melt and lush forests to grow. The Old Ones allied with the Dragons against the Dragon Ogres and nearly eradicated them - causing the Dragon Ogres to strike a fool's bargain with the Ruinous Powers. Then they created the custodians of the world - the Lizardmen. The Old Ones created servants to tend to their needs. Thus was the first spawning of the Slann Mage-Priests begun. They were the grand viziers, trusted creatures of prodigious intellect, and the only beings able to withstand direct contact with the near-omnipotent Old Ones and comprehend their teachings. It was the Slann who were to guide the lesser races whose creation would soon follow. For upon the world, the Old Ones had encountered many primitive creatures, including those that would one day be transformed into the first Elves, Dwarfs and Men. Powerful and far-sighted, the Old Ones could shape new life forms even from these imperfect materials. They did encounter some creatures whose existence was incompatible with their future plans. As the climate warmed, the Saurus were created to destroy these anomalies and soon vast armies marched to war - a fight to eradicate those native races that needed to be removed. (And believe me. At least one of those was a real piece of work) They also, when they noticed the coming of chaos, created the Ogres and Halflings, but they were unfinished, hence their enormous appetite etc. Basically, Elves, Dwarfs and Men excelled in some areas but had drawbacks at fighting chaos in others. Dwarfs were highly resilient, but at the same time slow to change and not magic inclined (outside their runes), while men are versatile and capable of learning magic, but not as great as that and (relatively) easy to corurpt and mutate. They created the Slann (the toads) to their immense magical might to shape the planet. They created the Saurus as warriors and the Skinks (the little ones) as artisans etc. together with the Kroxigors as building workforce. They also brought blind passengers to the planet. The Greenskins had hitched a ride on their ships. The Lizardmen were waging a campaign to eradicate them - which was going well - when catastrophe struck. The Polar Gates collapsed and Chaos entered the world. The Old Ones disappeared. But they left behind Sacred Plaques with prophecies and instructions that the Slann try to decipher to find out what they should do next. Long Story Short The Great Plan is the original Plan that the Old Ones had for the Planet. Elves on Ulthuan. Humans in the "Old World". Dwarfs in the mountains. Chaos. Undead. Greenskins and Skaven? Erradicated. However not even teh Slann know the exact shape that the Great Plan had. Once there was an argument between the Slann about if the tectonic plates should be moved. One of the Slann in the end went "I'm right! shut up!" and decided to just move htem (lead to him not being talked to for centuries). This caused the Times of Woe to the Dwarfs since the moving of the plates caused a Skaven Doomsday Device to blow up and shift the plates further than intended causing earthquakes etc. The Underway - the great subterran road system linking the dwarfen cities - collapsed and Skaven and Greenskins poured in.

Finally the lizardfolk! I love em

Luthor Harkon, the leader you saw from the vampire coast trailer, was cursed by the lizardmen artifact you saw in the trailer. Well, not neccesarily cursed. The artifact ripped his mind, causing multiple personalities. It's why he says "first we were one, and now we are many", and "we will put ourselves back together again. In order to restore it, you need to find the pieces of the artifact and make it whole again.

Can't wait for the trailers for the 3rd one about to come out

All hail Malekith, the true son of Aenarion, the Dark Phoenix of Ulthuan, the Witch King of Naggaroth.

Eyy finally i hve been waiting xD. love the content u guys make both on this and the main channel

First time I saw this, I was wondering how long it would take for him to realize those are High Elves and not humans. And then the video ended. XDDDDDDDD Glad he figured it out next video, but that was funny.

Been waiting for this one.

The lizardmen faction actually created the warhammer world and engineered the races in it as part of a great plan of some kind. The Jabba the hut guys were the chief servants of the beings that created the Lizardmen and are actually supremely intelligent and powerful sorcerors, capable of moving continents. At some point the warp gates above poles that they used to travel to and from this world collapsed. This allowed raw chaos to pour in. The masters of the lizardmen, the Old Ones (yes, the same old ones that fought the 40k necrons...in the beginning 40k and fantasy were linked) vanished, and the Lizardmen were left to deal with the chaos incursions on thier own. What resulted was a vast and apocalyptic war where armies numbering in the millions were sent to fight the endless ride of daemons pouring in. It only ended when the High Elves created that vortex, siphoning the excess chaos energies and causing the daemons to vanish.

Mortal empires was combining both TWWH 1 and 2 into one game. If you had both games you could get flc Mortal Empires to play campaing conbining whole map of TWWH1 and Majority of TWWH 2 on one map. Also all Dlc of both games were playable there. Which means there is about 15 playable races and all those makes 67 factions in total. Now when TWWH 3 is at the gates, it is also final count. However Mortal Empires or something similar is expected for TWWH 3 as well. Probably toping at least 100 factions.

Battle Fleet gothic cinematic are definitely worth a watch

I got unreasonably excited when I saw this video had been uploaded. The Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast I was most excited for haha Looking forward to seeing more!

I tend to play every race in the games so far. Especially the Tomb Kings and High Elves.

Warhammer 2 amazing trailer and game. Tomb kings my favorite faction and then Dark and high elves "We do not serve! We rule!!!!" Edit: also during the curse of the vampire coast at the end it was an sea serpent creature. You have the option to slave it and gain something special.

The Vampire Pirate featured in the campaign is called Luthor Harkon, and he got his mind split into many parts when he tried to loot a Lizardmen temple. He went nuts, and during the gameplay of his particular campaign, you are basically working to assemble the pieces so he can unify his mind. This plays into the playstyle, whith his stats changing as you play, to reflect his shifting personalities. He's only one of four playable special charactes (Legendary lords as they're called in Total War), the others being Cylostra Direfin who you saw a little featurette on, Count Noctilus who is trying to harness the powers of a massive maelstrom in the sea to power his spell to control all dead sea beings (yikes), and lastly Aranessa Saltspite, who is actually a living human pirate who was cast out of her human tribe for being mutated by Chaos. She seeks to gain the favor of her father(??) the god of storms, who has given her control over the drowned dead, ie. undead pirates. Also, they're all searching for an artifact to control the largest sea-serpent in the world, who you briefly saw the back of in the vampire pirate trailer.

Yes, yes, yes! Awesome ^^ Tomb Kings are epic. Their backstory,espiecially Settra, is so cool and tragic at the same time.

You should watch some of Engagingbears fan-made cinematic videos of Total War, "Grudgebearer" is definitely my favourite :) dreadfleet is pretty cool to.

My BF plays these. I never cared too much, I was interested in lizard people... but Vampire Pirates got me all hot and bothered he never told me about them lol. I might have to check it out.

The last trailer was for the original base Warhammer 2 factions/ starting factions. if you own the first Warhammer total war game and it's doc's you can play all those factions in Warhammer 2 Mortal Empires map. the other trailers like tomb kings and Curse of the Vampire Coast are expansion Factions or DLC's is what they call it. now in Warhammer 3 if you own both of the previous games and DLC's you can play all the factions in the New Immortal empires map and it's awesome

Yes finally good to see ya getting around to it XD

Great video guys

It's like the algorithm knows. Tubular dude

Thanks for your video! As you guessed, that last trailer is the first one, and doesn't include the DLCs, and the Might Empires patch let you combine Total War: Warhammer 1 and 2's campaign world, letting you play accross both continents with all the armies. It's been slowly expanded and added onto as new DLC/FreeLC has been released. So... Lore essays, if you're interested! Lizardmen. The Lizardmen are sorta kinda biological dinosaur-man robots. Let me explain that. The Warhammer World was created and shaped by a vanished race called The Old Ones. It's implied they created earth, too, as they apparently like this sort of shape of continents. They travelled between worlds using magitech gateways at the poles, and it was the collapse of these gateways that unleashed daemons, caused the Beastmen and Skaven to be mutated into existance as the waves of Chaos magic flowed into the world, created the Chaos Wastes, north of Norsca, and basically ruined everything. They left their servants behind, several races of cold-blooded, highly ordered beings, born from spawning pools in the warm places of the world, each designed for their tasks, the Saurus Warriors who defended the magitech ziggurats and huge devices, the quick and clever Skinks who and the magical, but lazy far-seeing Slaan, the froggy mage-priests - Lizardman Jabba as you said. The Lizardmen are utterly devoted to the Old One's great plan, even if they're not sure exactly what it leads to, and are essentially the personification of Order in the Warhammer World. The Lizardmen build in stone and gold, as the various races have rediscovered Lustria (Warhammer's South America) they've also found mysterious cities, covered in gold and grabbed as much as they could before being slaughtered for *no reason* by the lizardmen who live in the cities and jungles. The Skaven, ratmen, in particular have set up camp in Lustria, their plague-cults corrupting and killing the Lizardmen in huge numbers. The Elves... well take the Tolkein elves, add a dash of Elric of Melniboné. Add a dash of British upperclass pretentiousness and selfishness, and you have the High Elves. After their King was killed by the Dwarves in the great war that shattered both empires (the War of Vengeance, aka The War of The Beard), the Crown Prince, Malekith was rather unpopular, thanks to his conniving and corrupt mother, the sorceress Morathi. The exact details of how are unclear, but Malekith failed his initiation as Pheonix King - walking through a magical fire unharmed - and was horribly burned. Morathi claimed the fire had been sabotaged, and the civil war ended up devastating Ulthuan, the Elves' homeland. The northern provinces that supported Malekith eventually ended up having to turn their cities into giant stone ships and sailing north along with their horrible burned King and Morathi. Morathi made her son a suit of magical Darth Vader style armour that fused to his burned body and stops him dying of infection, but he is still in great pain, which has made him cruel, twisted an bitter. The High and Dark elves have warred on ever since. The High Elves in general are melancholy people, and have generally retired to their estates to wait for the end of the world, but those who have not are amongst the greatest champions of life and sanity. The High Elf mage Teclis broke his own people's laws to teach magic to the fledgeling Human empire, and has kept in close contact since then, with an Elven embassy in Altdorf, the Empire's capital and strong trade links to Brettonia and the Empire. Teclis' twin brother, Tyrion, is perhaps the greatest general and swordsman alive - he is the main elf fighting Malekith in the Blood for the Blood God trailer. Elven sailors are said to be the best in the world, and the High Elf navy is the main defense the south has agains the Norscan longships, and it is the menhirs and the Maelstrom, the great magically created storm, that draws away and drains the magic that has leaked into the world since fall of the Old Ones that stops Chaos from consuming the Old World. Skaven... Skaven are probably a stable variant of beastmen, and they represent the excesses of capitalism and human nature. Skaven do not have a word for cowardice, instead using the term "prudent Skaven caution" and consider outnumbering their enemies four to one as a heroic endeavour. Skaven are cowardly, first and foremost, callous, treacherous, paranoid and conniving. That said, they are fast, dextrous, intelligent and inquisitive. Small and generally physically weak, Skaven are the most numerous of all the races in Warhammer, and live in hidden burrows deep underground, gathering in stinking Under-cities where they breed massive swarming populations, the majority of which will be enslaved by their stronger more aggressive brethren. Skaven practice powerful magic, engineering, monster husbandry and all manner of war-craft, but all of them incredibly dangerous. If everything goes right for a Skaven force they are unstoppable, but their wizards have a tendancy to overdose on their magic and explode, their magically overcharged weaponry has a tendency to miss, or explode and their powerful, angry monsters have a tendancy to panic, rampage or explode. Skaven's natural instinct to betray each other makes them excellent politicians, and they often employ human agents, and it's a rare great city that doesn't have Skaven lurking in it's sewers. Skaven regard themselves as the master race, and see it as their duty to conquor the world in the name of their Chaos God, The Great Horned Rat, his priests, the Grey Seers, and the clan council, the Council of Thirteen. Skaven are hilarious, powerful and unpredictable. In the game, they get bonuses to their population happiness if they break treaties and betray allies, they are the fastest moving race, but only when running away, and will absolutely break, flee and come back two or three times in a battle. The Tomb Kings are the slain remnants of Warhammer's Egyptians, the Nehekarans, and are heavily inspired by The Mummy, Indiana Jones, HP Lovecraft and other pulp adventures. One the mightiest human civilisation the world, Nehekara was annihilated by it's own greatest son, the inventor of Necromancy, Vampires and Ghouls, the most hated person ever to have lived, Nagash. After being chased out of his home Khemri for stealing the throne, raising the dead and generally being a horrible, horrible man, Nagash turned his power on his own people, poisoning their great river, withering their crops and killing and raising their people as the Undead. Assassinated in the moment of his triumph (he's returned though, twice) Nagash lost control of his new nation of Undead, and they found themselves mummified and very much not in the promised land, which has left them pretty annoyed. They have essentially recreated their old feudal civilisation, but with no crops to till, no animals to feed and no families to raise, they spend most of their time under the sands or in their tombs, resting, and cursing the name Nagash. The Tomb Kings, once you get past the whole Undead thing are actually not too bad as far as the races go. They're jealous of their tomb treasures and lands, but if treated with respect and courtesy are usually pretty reasonable, and joined the living in the defense of the world when the Entimes came. The Vampire Coast are why warhammer fans love this game. In 2005, Games Workshop, the company that make Warhammer, launched a worldwide Warhammer (the miniature soldiers) campaign set in Lustria, Warhammer's South America with narrative stories and cool variant armies that never had any models, but offered opportunities for radically different styles of play. Essentially only comprising of a couple of pages of A4 rules, CA have taken this small piece of Warhammer Lore and absolutely gone to town on it, creating this characterful, funny, cool piece of the Warhammer world. Obviously, the Transylvanian-style Vampire Counts didn't have a presence in Lustria, but the maps had a lot of random place names that they'd never really expanded on to kickstart players imaginations. One such was the Vampire Coast. Clearly inspired by Pirates of the Carribean, the Vampire Coast were the servants of Luther Harkon, a vampire whose coffin had been stolen by pirates. He made short work of them, and resurrected them as his zombie servants, but found himself shipwrecked on Lustria's coast. Finding small settlements of pirates, Norscans and other adventurous types, Harkon quickly swelled his forces and became quite a power, until he ran afoul of some cursed Lizardman artefacts which sucked out all his magical power and left him with a fractured mind and multiple personalities. The campaign goal is to gather Lizardman artifacts in the hope that this will somehow restore Luthor's mind - to "put ourselves back together" as the trailer says.

The Tomb Kings DLC is what made me, a complete newbie to the franchise, buy the game. They're that awesome :)

I have been waiting for this

Mortal Empires is an addon that gives owners of Warhammer 1and Warhammer 2 (and the upcoming Warhammer 3) one single map of all continents of both games with all factions and heroes. How can I wait for February 17, when part 3 of the game will be released and there will actually be three games in one

My favourites in the first game are the VC, the WE and Bretonnia. My favourites in the second game are the Dark Elves, the skaven and the vampire coast. I like the DE because I find them to have some cool lore and background, their society is very "survival of the fittest" whilst still being somewhat civilised, they are more of a melee-focused elven faction which is nice since most other elves are ranged-focus and they really straddle the line between whether they are chaos aligned or not. Morathi and the cult of pleasure are pretty accepted to be slaaneshi worshippers, but their society is not all that different than other dark elf societies, they all revel in excess, and Khaine (the elven god of war, blood and murder who is the main god of the non-slaaneshi dark elves) has a lot in common ideologically with Khorne (whether or not they are the same entity). I think in general they are just extremely edgy to the point of self-awareness and I like that. And although my like for them has nothing to do with being "elf girls in bikinis", I do appreciate any faction that has a strong presence of female units, part of why I like the wood elves in the first game (along with being the purest range-focused elves).

No Malus Darkblade video, the ultimate Dark Elf Edgelord?? My disappointment is immeasureable !

That last trailer was from when the game first came out - they released several of the races separately later, such as the Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast - they're all playable, although some of them were only playable in the Mortal Empires campaign, rather than the story campaign.

just remember when it comes to Tomb Kings Settra Does Not Serve He Rules!!!!!

My personal favorite races of TTW: Warhammer 2 are Dark elves, Skaven, and Vampire coast. For factions I would go for Ikit Claw for Skaven as he's the smartest of all Skaven inventor, Morathi mother of Melakith...she's hot. Then there's Cylostra Direfin and Count Noctillus, both of them got good lord effect. Once you get to Total war:Warhammer 3 you will dive right into the world of Chaos God's right away, alongside with Cathayan, Kislevites, and Ogre. It's a big leap but it will be super fun. Fun fact: Madame Cylostra Direfin is the first Originally created character/lord for this game. The lore is so much more deep for her. Oh you guys missed some dlc trailer for sub-factions. I guess many people already listing those down in the comment section.

The monster's name in the final of Vampire Coast's trailer is Merwirm. The name of the giant crab is Rotten Leviathan. The humanoid giant construct with cannons in his arm is called Necrofex Colossus. The giant cannon is called Queen Bess. The vampire with a Shovel is called Luthor Harkon, and he's mad. Luthor Harkon is a vampire pirate who was driven insane by a magical accident, which also probably completely cut him off from the winds of magic, so he can only reach the dead, nothing more. According to the rulebook and army books, Luthor is able to control any unit or monster as long as it has been previously killed. This is a link in Spanish (active the english subtitles) about the monsters of the Vampire Coast's trailer.
