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

That first bit of the skaven cinematic is a reference to the original Predator when they just blindly mow down the forest

Yes, that was a Nuke. The Legendary Lord for the Skaven from that specific DLC is Ikit Claw for Clan Scryer, basically one of the most powerful skaven to play in the game, and yes he can build nukes and nuke enemy armies. He also has gattling guns, sniper rifles, those round bicycle things you saw which are Doom Flayers and so much more.

That "little cameleon" is one of the most deadly daemon hunters in the Warhammer fantasy world. He may not look like it but yea he survived litterally ages in the relm of chaos taking down daemons while beeing unseen.

"He pissed him off! He killed his friend!" Skaven don't have friends. They only have rivals and rivals that might have use as pawns or temporary allies. Skaven backstab each other constantly. However they're also massive cowards. 5 min 20 (can't use a double dot. Keyboard on the laptop is broken). The guy with the Bow is Markus Wulfhart. The Huntsmarshal of the Empire (him colliding with the Lizardmen is Creative License by Creative Assembly.) His backstory? He used to be a simple hunter in the town (or was it village?) of Drakenburg in the Drakwald Forest. One day he returned from hunting and found his home utterly destroyed. The Culprit? The Drakwald Cyclops. A one-eyed Bonegrinder Giant (imagine a giant like the one you see in the Empire trailer for TW WH1. Now make it twice as tall.). What did Wulfhart do? He grabbed his stuff and tracked the beast down. He took his bow and shot the Drakwald Cyclops' eye out and then used his sword to cut its tendons and hacked away til it was dead. After that he made it his life's task to hunt down the monsters inside of the Empire to protect its people. When Emperor Karl Franz heard of Wulfhart he invited him and offered him knighthood and an estate. Wulfhart declided and just wished to continue his crusade. Karl Franz made him the Huntsmarshal - the Emperor's Captain of the Scouts - and gave him the Amber Bow (which you see in the trailer). A bow enchanted by the Amber College (Lore of Beasts. So magic that relates to animals) so that its arrows would always seek their targets heart. Afterwards Wulfhart gathered like minded souls and continued his hunts. These men are now known as "Wulfhart's Hunters" "The Gods see fit to populate the Old World with all manners of foul monsters. They've also seen fit to grant me a keen eye and a strong bow to hunt them with." -Markus Wulfhart, the Huntsmarshal of the Empire. His opponent in the trailer is Nakai the Wanderer. A legendary Kroxigor who's considered to be a Spirit of the Jungle. 6 Min 40 Deathmaster Snikch (rat Ninja) of Clan Eshin vs Malus Darkblade and the demon that is possessing him. T'zarkan - a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh - a Keeper of Secrets. Has his own novel series. Really nasty buggers the lot of them. 16 20 "HOLY CRAP!" That's a Ghorgon. Its what you get when a Minotaur commits A LOT of Cannibalism.

That "Little Chameleon" was once in the actual realms of Chaos, where he killed so many Demons that the gods of Chaos threw him back into the real world. He is an absolute badass. Also. Definitely do the trailers currently out for Total War: Warhammer 3, they are absolutely worth it!

Darkblade powered up in the game is a literal one man army. He is terrifying when he allows himself to be possessed.

I thought you guys might like to know, Taurox, the minotaur lord in the silence and the fury actually had his skin turned into brass by Khorne, making him un-killable except for that red spot on his neck. It's the only exposed weak-point.

The hilarious thing is that "little chameleon" at the end is seven thousand years old and managed to John Wick his way around the Realms of Chaos and managed to stay sane and whole in body before returning to the Mortal Planes. That Minotaur ain't got shit on Oxyotl.

Taurox the Brass Bull was a regular minotaur that received a vision from the Chaos Gods. It gave him such a bloodlust that he went on a rampage, killing everything in his path for a year and a day before he collapsed and was remade with a hide of brass, minus a weak point in his neck.

Everyone loves the Skaven, they're absolutely crazy bastards, and so, so fun.

The irony about the Hunter and the Beast is that Markus is the Beast and Nakai is the Hunter.

Great reaction as always! I know a lot of people made play lists for wh3, but here's the updated list just in case. So as you said in the video, there are 12 main cinematic trailers(Enter the world of - videos and some other main ones) and a couple unit showcases you can 'sprinkle' in the videos. The list is as follows(they're in chronological order btw) 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)

Nice reaction! :D Can't wait for the warhammer 3 ones! :D

The Total Warhammer 3 will blow your minds, can't wait :)

The Devs started to do homages to iconic film scenes so when the rats start machine gunning the forest, The Warden has many Dark Knight references + Mad Max. Ikit Claw the Skaven lord is my favourite to play as he gets nukes in both campaign and in battle which is glorious to unleash. In the Warhammer fantasy lore he manages to blow up a moon that crashes down onto a continent and an assassin is sent after him when he just dips out like I have done whats needed , time to survive

Franken-rats is right, one particular Skaven Lord, Throt, is known for mutating and combing creatures. That one huge "Rat Ogre" in red armor was Ghotrich. He used to be a human who followed the bad guys, failed, and was sent to Throt for his experiments. His brain was put inside the body of a Rat Ogre and given suped up armor and weapons. He went rogue, defeating every other creation Throt sent after him, eventually earned the right to be a general in Throt's clan.

The creature designs in this game definitively stand out. From the trailers to how it all comes together in the game itself - just a true gem to marvel at. CA did some excellent work with the Total War series. You could have a whole art exposition on just what they came up with in those three games.

It’s nice to see the reactions to these trailers. They’re so full of personality and things. I have to say the silence and the fury is my favorite. Especially since that dlc and update made the beastmen go from being probably the weakest race in game to becoming the top 5 strongest at least. And beastmen are my favorite faction and they made it so much more fun to play. That trailer made me so hyped while I waiting for it to come out.

honestly with how many monsters and such there are in warhammer a witcher like game could actually be really fun going around hunting big monsters

Yay ! I'm so glad you reacted to these. And Total War Warhammer 3 is right out the corner, with all the faction trailers having been released. I can't wait to see what you think of this game, cause it blows anything that came before out of the water.

That khakhi skink in the last cinematic trailer is the Warhammer equivalent of the Doom Slayer - went into hell and fought his way back out.

Very cool that you reacted to those trailers aswell. Cant wait for your reaction of the third game trailers after its release :D

Most of these are references to iconic movies! The Predator one at the start when they mow down the forest, the Jurassic Park scene where they get chased by the giant dinosaur, and the Batman/Mad Max hommage.

I'm really glad you noticed the difference between all the units and factions and races because it is even more true in the game itself. Every faction has its own unique feel when you play them which makes this game so fantastic to me. Also, it is exactly 1 week until WH3 comes out. Hype is real!!!

Hey, DNDG, remember the demon you saw in the Chaos Undivided trailer for Warhammer 3? The Daemon Prince calling himself "the Godslayer"? Well, it may interest you to know that that title isn't just an intimidation tactic. He very nearly kills a god- Ursun the Bear-God of Kislev- in the prologue campaign. He started out as a prince of Kislev before he went on a quest to save Ursun, a quest that would ultimately lead to his corruption and full ascension to daemonhood.

Prophet and Warlock On the lizardmen side we have The Red Host led by a reincarnating messiah named Tehenhauin. He his the prophet of the mighty god Sotek which is a giant snake. In game their Skinks are better than the usually more practical to use Saurus units, they have space lasers, and can summon a giant snake (Which is a lot more underwhelming than it sounds) On the Skaven we have the crazy white furred leader of the most technologically advanced skaven clan. Leading Clan Skyre we have Ikit Claw. He has big mad scientist energy going on, obviously specializes in advanced tech, and in lore nuked the moon to bring as much of it down on the planet Hunter and the Beast The of the Huntsmarshals Expedition led by... the Huntsmarshal Markus Wulfhart. They were sent to Lustria (South America basically but filled with the Lizardmen) to do as most expeditions are sent to do, pillage stuff and bring it back. His bow is very good at killing large things, your fighting a losing battle but you'll make the Lizardmen pay for every inch they push you back, and in lore Markus one shots a giant bull monster (Found later in the vid) by shooting him in his very small weak point Nakai the Wanderer, one of the eldest Kroxigor that still lives. He doesn't actually do much besides fight and rest, he has something of a 6th sense for danger and whenever something is going wrong in Lustria he will always manage to appear and kick ass before leaving for the next fight. He like the Red Host specializes in his race, is a nightmare to play as because he doesn't own land but instead leaves behind an AI faction to manage the land, and is absolutely terrifying Shadow and the Blade Malus Darkblade, he's technically a normal Dark Elf... but with a demon inside that constantly begs him to be released. Every time Malus gives in the demon gets a little bit closer to fully possessing him, unfortunately Malus finds himself every so often in dire need of his demon and thus lets him out to survive. The more you use the Demon the less people trust you, your kind may be masochistic slavers but demons are just a little to extreme for them His foe is the second best assassin in the world (Behind a guy later in the vid), in game led by Deathmaster Snikch (He isn't in lore the leader but Deathmaster Snikch is a way better assassin I believe so that's why they chose him). Their Ninja rats that learned all they know from going to Cathay and Nippon (Warhammer China and Japan). In game they have contracts with other clans to kill people, if you do you get favor and can recruit lords from their armies (Anything that isn't a rat ninja) Warden and the Paunch This is unlike others an actual rivalry set in lore The Warden Eltharion the Grim is the leader of a Elven citadel (It's important for a reason but I forget) but as he says in the trailer it wont be safe for as long as Grom is around. In the entire history of the Elves no one has successfully invaded their lands, a lot made it close but none but one succeeded, enter Grom. Grom is a goblin (A very fat Goblin) that literally only did it for shits and giggles and yet somehow succeeded, raiding the elven homeland for a long time before being driven back. Ever since their has been a quiet before the storm, Grom getting a bigger army to raid once again, and the elves led by Eltharion (Because the other lords have other problems) readying as best as they can for when it happens Twisted and the Twilight In the skaven corner (Which for now is the last time the Skaven show up) we have the leader of Clan Moulder, a clan that makes monsters. Throt the Unclean, he is a mutant that is stronger than the average Skaven at the cost that he has to eat very regularly or he will starve in less than a day, beside him is Ghoritch. Ghoritch is a long story but shortened he is a man who Throt harvested, shoving his brain into a big ass rat ogre, and unlike a lot of Throts more crazy plans it worked. Ghoritch only serves because he literally has nothing better to do On the other side the Sisters of Twilight, twin lords that serve the wood elves. I don't know to much about them honestly but I know that their uncle is a legendary weapon smith. Beside them is the queen of the wood elves (And all elves I think) Ariel, she's a demigod with the soul of the strongest elven god, she'd have been a little op for a starting character so she is summoned into battle for the late game And lastly Silence and the Fury The Lizardmen are led by the best assassin in Warhammer Oxyotl. Back in the old days the demons invaded the world but since it was their first time they didn't do that great, however before they were pushed back they took out (Literally torn from their locations) a few Lizardmen cities and brought them to hell. Inside one of them lay Oxyotl who over thousands of years waged a one man war in hell until they eventually tracked him down and instead of killing him kicked him out. He fights Taurox. A bull so angry and bloodthirsty that the god of both of those things made him an impervious wrecking ball of destruction. He was blessed by Khorne, giving him his brass body that is in lore unbreakable, the only way to kill him is via a Khorne brand under his chin on his neck. In game he wishes to get that one little weakness removed by a special artifact that Oxyotl seeks to deny him And that's it until you guys start Warhammer 3 stuff. Take everything with a grain of salt because this is all from memory so some things may be to various degrees incorrect or I may be missing details that should be included (I tried to cut things down but may have cut a little to much)

The Total War Warhammer 3 trailers are really masterpice. Same like Enter the world of...... . Can't wait you see them.

So the prophet and the warlock trailer was a reference to predator (moving down the forest with a "rat"ling gun), the hunter and the beast was a reference to jurrasic park(t-rex chasing the jeep), and the warden and the paunch was a reference to Mad Max, as you caught

You are always so funny guys, thank you so much!! we are all looking foward to the tww 3 trailers now! keep going with these beautiful reactions!!😄😄

The attack in the jungle and the way skavens reacted to it is a reference to the movie "Predator" (the first one).

The Twisted & Twilight is still my favorite, just because of how it is editted and the vibe of the music is just awesome. Plus the Twins just look bad ass readying their bows atop a Forest Dragon. Which they are the representatives for Ariel. Rumors abound on their origins, some say that Ariel splintered a young elf-maid that became lost in the woods and remade her so that she may better serve the Weave. Others think that the twins are the dark and light aspects of Ariel made manifest, passion and mercy split apart. Some say they are just as Divine as Ariel and Orion. Though the most commonplace tale is that the Twins are simply Ariel's daughters, which would make them Princesses of Athel Loran by blood and lineage. The Wood Elves really love storycrafting, but in the end they know that both Naestra and Arahan speak with the authority of Ariel.

I used to have Wood Elves army back in day so I was hyped to see Ariel and Sisters of Twilight with they Forest Dragon. It's that power of nostalgia that kicked in with that one. First trailer was totally Predator reference and I love it for it.

A little fact about greenskin Grom from "Warden and the Paunch". He was an ordinary goblin until he ate a piece of troll meat. Trolls are known for their regeneration and anyone else would just be torn apart. But Grom managed to adapt. It has grown both in height and in width. P.S.: an online translator is used to write this text

at the end you weren't wrong about the Frankenstein comment. the Skaven starring in that DLC's trailer specializes in creating monsters out of just about anything he can get his hands on be it elves, humans, or even other skaven.

The first trailer in this video was a homage to the movie Predator, specifically the scene where the minigunner is killed by the Predator and Arnie grabs his gun and mows down the jungle in a panic.

The skaven with three blades was Deathmaster Snikch of Clan Eshin. Very few have escaped his blades and lived to tell the tale.

I am Ikit Claw from Clan Scryer, i love this rat so much.

What!? that first part was like the scene from Predator! That's hilarious lmao!!!

funny thing the little skink in the last video is considered to be one of the if not the deadliest hunter in the world another neat thing is that the 1st skevnen where there shooting into the woods was an homage to predator

I love that you guys are starting to like the Skaven. Even though I'm a fan of the vampire counts, I love the Skaven, they're very interesting and they're definitely a fun race hahaha. And I look forward to the reaction of the Warhammer 3 trailers, they are not many but they are very interesting.

I wasn't notified to this so I am late to the party, which is unfortunate because these where some of my personal favorite trailers of Warhammer 2.

@1:15 "little Gatling gun" Excuse me, but those are called Ratling guns. No im not kidding, they named them Ratling gunners and yes, I do love the pun

You should totally read The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade, the main dark elf of the Shadow and the Blade dlc. It’s a great series.

Your glass changes every time hahaha. Love watching you both

Thanks for sharing! Not much Lore to dump here, I think you get the gist. Thanks for sharing! As you correctly identified, the majority of stuff here is rebalancing, new units and lords for existing armies. The reason Skaven were so heavily featured is that they were near unplayably bad on launch, and needed a lot of work. They also, for some reason, had quite a devoted following amongst GW sculptors and modders, so they had a lot of units to draw inspiration from. They're quite OP now! The Jekyll and Hyde elf is a novel and comic character called Malus Darkblade. His soul is in hock to the Daemon that is bound to him, who promises to give it back if Malus carries out certain services. Every time Malus finds himself badly injured or surrounded, the daemon offers him it's strength... and Malus starts to wonder how much, if any, of him will be left. His catchphrase, typical of the Dark Elves, is "With hate, all things are possible."

Personally, I can't wait for your Warhammer 3 video. If you liked the Vampire Coast and their singing so much, you're in for a treat.

More Total Warhammer, yay!!! Yes, the Skaven are crazy, which makes them fun. They don't actually have friends among themselves, nor much if a sense of individual self identity. There's so many of the psychotic little buggers that the vast majority of them are literally just cannon fodder. Luckily for all who live on the surface, the Skaven fight amongst and backstab each other so much, they don't pose as much of a mass threat as they could. If they ever stopped killing each other and united into a single massive force, however... You also saw a bit of my favorite Warhammer character, the dark elf Malus Darkblade (you made a Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde comparison about him.) He is possessed by a daemon named T'Zarkan. It's complicated. There's a 5 book novel series focused on his story that I highly recommend tracking down and reading, very epic and awesome. More Warhammer reactions, please!😁

Say Hello to the Skaven clan Skryre. Their chief Warlock Engineer Ikit Claw, and his Warpstorm Doomrockets, aka Skaven Nukes. And the three premier units the Rattling Guns weapons team, Warplock Jezzails aka Snipers, and the Doom Flayers the rolling bladed metal balls

"Vicious" "Angry" Me: Relentless

OH SNAP! Round 2! Let's go!!! xd 1:01 - Those are ratling guns ( as u said gatling but ratling cause u know... rats xd ) However they are shooting at the lizardmen because they want lustria for its warp stone and so on. Additionally they started blasting the forest apart because Skaven are extremely paranoid and dont tend to care about much of anything if it means they get to live longer. Those things you saw them riding that you said "cool" to are doom flayers and they are indeed very cool :D. For the salamanders much like the razordons are part of the lizardmen army. They much like many of the animals the lizardmen use have been tamed and trained for war. The salamanders are indeed though no their own army. Lastly at the end it was a nuke the skaven used to bomb the lizardmen. Said nukes though in lore are much bigger but far more rare, as in like 2 were created since the guy you saw laughing in all metal armor is the inventor of them and he was smart enough to make the atomic bomb twice. His name is Ikit claw and hes one of the most smartest skaven ever. 4:07 - Funny enough the Brass Bull, the guy in the last trailer is killed by the guy wielding the bow in this trailer lol, but it wasn't exactly a fair fight as Markus wulfhart ( bow guy ) shot him from some high tower was the bull was busy fighting others including vampire skeletons and imperial soldiers and so on. However in this trailer they decided to switch it up and have Nakai go after Markus instead since Markus is in Lustria and so on. Overall though the Dread Saurin is huge, and in lore is still bigger than what we see, they are however extremely rare and almost never used in combat much cause they are again, rare. Regardless Nakai is the big Kroxigar with that war mace and is responsible for literally holding the line against tons of armies including Chaos Daemons single handily, so hes really impressive and hes whacked the shit out of Luthor Harkon's army ( The Vampire Coast ) and full on stopping him in his tracks. Regardless Markus would still prolly be able to one shot him due to the bow's natural ability to target instant weak spots of any creature and it can generally pierce any creature to since again Markus has killed various old world monsters; Giants, Hydras, giant spiders, etc 6:38 - Ah Deathmaster Snikch vs Malus Darkblade. Malus Darkblade has a daemon in his sword and when Malus allows him to take over from time to time its a risk. As the daemon says; your soul belongs to me he really does mean it. In the End Times Malus sums him one more time to help him fight against IIRC Tyrion and the Daemon ends up taking complete control and Malus is technically gone at that point, so just in case you're wondering why Malus is conflicted that's why because he could very well "die" so to speak every time he does so. He has a series though and is one of the more flushed out characters where he goes on adventures and such raiding and killing, yet like all Dark Elves they are generally very evil imo even worse than Chaos Warriors since they are basically Dark Eldar and you know how bad those guys are as well. Deathmaster Snikch is prolly thee best assassin in all of WHF his rival being a Dark Elf Assassin; Shadowblade. He's killed quite a bit and no one really knows where hes at next. He killed the Dawi leader you saw in WH 1 when that guy was writing the books, but hes also killed various other no named people and so on. Overall though hes a very skilled assassin and is capable of sneaking into the upmost tight areas. They dont really have a rivalry here, but it was still a cool trailer and has one of the best soundtracks as well. As for the medusa, yes the dark elves have two versions so to speak, the regular one you saw and then a medusa bloodshrine which is shrine that holds a medusa and is used basically like a buffer to all near by units. 9:25 - If you didnt notice, especially in the beginning they did basically Batman and Mad max in this trailer; Elves or the leader specifically is basically "batman" Eltharion the Grim is hunting his rival. While the greenskins give you that more mad max feel and the leader u saw with the big stomach his name is Grom the Paunch or Grom the Fat. He's a goblin.... yes that guy the size of an orc... is actually a goblin lol. Now unlike the other DLC's these guys are actual rivals in lore. When Eltharion says his city is never safe with Grom out there, it's kinda odd because in lore Eltharion's province is actually perm depopulated because Grom killed that many High Elves, he actually almost defeated all the elves with nothing but basically goblins. Him and Skarnisk are prolly the best greenskins leaders in terms of actually using what they got to do some great stuff; more grom than skarnisk, but still. Regardless Grom is that fat though because when he was younger he was dared by other goblins to eat troll meat raw and in case you didnt know trolls have mega regen like wolverine level regen and even if their arm and such is cut off it could keep growing. Nevertheless grom was dared to do it and usually this is a death sentence because once u eat raw troll meat ur stomach can't break it down fast enough and u usually explode lol. Well in this case Grom didn't explode and he got regen abilities as well, so yeah... Regardless, Eltharion absolutely hates Grom for obvious reasons and now in the game you can hunt Grom down and murder him from there. Grom in lore though was left on a cliff hanger note, but IIRC they said Eltharion did eventually hunt him down and murdered him ( to put it lightly because Eltharion tortured him for quite sometime before killing him ). The big rocks are called Rogue Idols of Gork or Mork and they are indeed awesome. Everyone was super excited that CA actually brought them in and it made the Greenskins even more fun to play along with the snotling pump wagons. The Phoenix you guys mentioned was a different phoenix called an arcane phoenix, yet before this one was brought in the High Elves were given two other ones when they first came out, so they've had phoenixes for quite sometime since they've had them from the start of the game basically. You guys just didnt get to see them because they IIRC weren't really introduced in any of the trailers sadly

Oxyotl has killed more Chaos minions, including Exalted Daemon Princes/Princesses than the entire Empire and Elves and Bretonnia combined. You think I'm kidding and I'm not.

eltharion also known as literally too badass to die

When you watch the Warhammer 3 Announcement Trailer, make sure to have the speakers cranked. It's so metal!

You guys should an MK11 All Krushing Blows video. (BTW Ken, there’s one where you’ll DEFINITELY have to look away)

dat predator reference at the start, gunning down the jungle :P ..... also SHUT UP DAEMON. The malus darkblade series is a good book reading thing

Yea Total War, especially the Warhammer series of Total War, has a really good habit of validating factions by having DLC either introduce entirely new ones, or new lords and territory for the pre-existing factions. In the trailer with the two Wood Elf archer sisters on the dragon (The Sisters of Twilight), they're part of an existing Wood Elf faction, but they have their own territory in the NW of the map. The Wood Elves are part of the first game, and if you owned the first Warhammer you could play Mortal Empire (the big kinda free-for-all gamemode) with anyone from the first game. The Sisters of Twilight are actually super strong, with their ranged infantry having crazy-good damage complimented with the Sisters themselves alongside hawk riders that can basically shoot big ol' magic rockets into the enemy's ranks. Before their DLC, Wood Elves weren't much to talk about because their melee was so weak, but the Sisters redeemed them somewhat.

Yes, it is a nuclear bomb, but instead of uranium it uses warp stone, a magical stone that is much more lethal and dangerous. The nuclear explosion is not just for show. It is a mechanic that the Ikit claw faction can use in the game. The first scene of the first trailer is an homage to a scene from Predator. The leaders of the factions added in the expansion are Tehenahuin, the prophet of Sotek, riding the dinosaur with a device that shoots lightning from space, and Ikit Claw, the laughing cyber rat (he actually replaced a good part of his body with metal after an accident). The skaven equivalent of a mad scientist (all skaven scientists are mad scientists). The first scene of the second trailer is apparently an homage to the T-rex chasing the protagonists' car in the first Jurassik park. The leaders of the factions are Nakai, a lizardman larger than an ogre and over 20,000 years old, and Markus Wulfart, the empire's hunting marshal and exceptional monster slayer. The first scene of the third trailer is apparently a scene from the movie Troy. The leaders of the factions are Malus Darkblade (Malus means Evil in Latin and lives up to the name) a very popular protagonist of comics and novels who for certain reasons ended up being possessed by a demon (which appears in the trailer in the form of the Malus himself). And the Deathlord Snich, the best assassin of the clan that produces the skaven assassins, fights with three swords, one of them held in his tail. The potion that Malus drops is a potion that keeps him awake as the demon can control his body when he sleeps. It is possible that Malus could be possessed during the game as well. In this trailer there are scenes from two movies, the greenskins having scenes from the latest Mad Max movie and the high elves from Batman movies (with Eltharion being more than a little inspired by Batman himself in some of the mechanics at play). The faction leaders are Grom, the largest goblin (in literal physical size) that ever existed and who gained regenerative powers after eating troll meat and Eltharion the grim, guardian of Tor Yvresse, basically elf batman (at least that approach will got into the game, it even has its equivalent batcave). Grom once attacked Eltharion's home destroying it and killing his family, Eltharion would later defeat and drive him out of Ulthuan. To say that Eltharion and Grom hate each other is an understatement. In canon Eltharion supposedly killed Grom by chopping him up and putting him in a magical furnace so that Grom wouldn't be resurrected by his regeneration, but Ca has resurrected some dead characters in the game if they were interesting and popular enough. Grom is one of them. High Elves have three different types of both Phoenix and Dragons in their army. The DLC also added griffins as mounts for their commanders. The initial part of the trailer with static imagen is an homage to a trailer of the game Vermintide 2, also set in the Warhammer universe. The leaders of the factions are the Twilight Sisters, of whose origins little is known but they are considered to be the daughters of the immortal and semi-divine queen Ariel (the butterfly woman who appears in the trailer) and who can only die if they both die at the same time. time, but the wounded sister heals from any wound, no matter how lethal. The skaven leader is Throrth the unclean, another skaven mad scientist, but where Ikit is into technology Throt is into biology and doing horrible experiments on living things. In the final trailer the faction leaders are Taurox, a nearly impenetrable bronze-skinned minotaur save for a small gap at the base of his neck that is brutal and savage even by minotaur standards, and Oxyotl a chameleon skink who managed survive millennia in the realms of chaos, which has enormous merit because it is a dimension without matter, where the laws of physics and time do not exist and populated by demonic entities.

Might be a good idea to watch Cody Bonds Noob Guide series to get some of the fun backgrounds on a lot of the characters in the game, their really enjoyable and funny videos.

That first trailer, was that a reference to the first contact scene from the first predator movie? When he picks up the minigun and just mow down the forest

I like most of the evil factions in the game. They just have the coolest lords and units.

Can't wait for the Warhammer 3 trailers! They are truly some of the best.

Like the Skaven opening real Predator vibes with gatling

Ready to watch warhammer 3 reaction !

I always look forward to these. They make my day. ❤

Didn't realize until now but the first scene with the Skavens looks like a scene in Predator, when a guy "see" the Predator and empty his Gatling's ammos shooting blindly on the jungle

Just a week until Warhammer 3! So excited.

Looking forward to more Total War Warhammer content from you, guys!! Hope you took an interest in the campaign cutscenes, they are good!

Also say Hello to my personal favorite High Elf Legendary Lord in Eltharion the Grim, aka High Elf Batman. He hates Greenskins because they killed his family in a Wagggh. He brings Rangers, Silverin Guard, and Arcane Phoenix, White Lion Chariots and just the White Lions themselves, and his own personal Mistwalker army. The other side is Grom the Paunch, the Goblin King. And he brings new Chariot type units to the Greenskins. Along with River and Stone Trolls and the Rogue Idol which is the rock golem

The Prophet And The Warlock = Predator reference and the deadliest nuke from the old world and the new world technology with Lizard's satellite beam and Ratty's nuke. The Hunter And The Beast = Jurassic Park reference with the legend of the legendary big animal hunter corp. in the late 18th century.

The Silent And The Fury = Gandalf but dart blowing chameleon for thousand years , and The furious brass bull than can destroy everything in it's path.

I like how you called the skaven fearless even though theyre probably the biggest cowards in warhammer 😂😂😂

The first Trailer is a direcrly reference to the Movie "Predator" with A Schwarzenegger 🤣🤣🤣. Same scene is in there

I love the rats ♥️, there weapons are extremely powerful and they look amazing both in-game and in cinematics

If you ever play the games, YOU'LL be the favorite of the tomb kings as well

The Phrophet and The Warlock trailer has Predator reference, Thr Hunter and The Beast trailer has Jurassic Park reference. Many reaction youtubers didnt notice this lol

If you think this is good, the total war warhammer 3 trailers are fantastic, disgustingly beautiful, and awe inspiring all at the same time.

Dude Warhammer 2 has trailers, but Warhammer 3 has movies

Man absolutely love these reactions! Hyped for reactions to Warhammer 3 which have some of my all time favorite Warhammer cinematics!

I can see you liking the total war warhammer 3 "join the ogre kingdoms" cinematic trailer sure it doesn't show fighting just the ogres having a good time feasting

2:47 when all else fails in your plan? NUKE THEM ALL!!! AHHH HAHAHAHA!!!

Warhammer 3 Trailers Reaction need to come 😁

i am like a minute away from reinstalling Total War Warhammer 1&2 after watching these trailers again 😅

3:20 Little biological mistake here...salamanders are actually no lizards. They aren't even reptiles. Salamanders are amphibeans.

You should watch the Warhammer 40.000: Darktide trailers. I'm sure you'd love them

2:52 Ikit Claw,s Nuke 15:34 Taurox The Brass Bull 16:20 Ghorgon

Great reaction…the world of war hammer fantasy lore is very well done.

I was really looking forward to this video! I loved your reactions, can't wait to see you react to game 3!

the moment that the Skaven with the Ratling gun gets killed is so clearly a reference to Predator :D

Great content as usual guys! So good in fact I paused my game for 20 mins! My favourite is definitively the magpie Griffin, though death master sniktch (rat ninja guy) is a close second ngl

Thank the emperor, you watched the rest

Now off to warhammer 3 trailers

YES! Now onto TW: Warhammer 3, finally. It's coming so soon!!!

Love your Warhammer reactions, hopefully you'll do Total Warhammer 3 stuff soon!

Didn't notice the high elf trailers in there.

Can't wait for you to react to WH3 trailers and also the one coming in future :D

Part of me wondered, how the heck do jabberslythes EAT???

Ikit Claw the mad tinkerer of Skaven and Grom the Paunch will always be my favorite DLC legendary lord of TWW 2. Fun Fact: Grom the Paunch (Big belly gobbo) is not an orc, no! not at all! he's a strong and mutated goblin that ate a raw troll meat. But instead of exploding into chunks from eating that meat, his belly expands along with his body, so much that he keep growing until he's as tall as an orc. He also has a large appetite for all kind of food, where ever he goes he brings his cooking cauldron with him, while Niblet (His personal goblin servant/right wing gobbo) keep on feeding him and finding foes that's mighty delicious for Grom to feed on. That one fat rat who choked a wood elf to dead with his man catcher is Throt the Unclean, he has a warpstone LODGE right up in his skull and he has been cursed to forever feel the hunger, so hungry that he would literally eat his own kind in the battlefield to keep himself calm. He's also known as the master of Hellpit where he creates many abomination and horrify creatures for the Skaven council and local army such as Rat Ogres, Hellpit Abomination, Rat Ogre mutant, Brood Horror, Rat Chimera, Wolf rat, and many many more disgusting and strong creatures.

The rock golem in the warden in the paunch trailer are called rogue idols

btw first scene is predator movie reference

Yes! i have waited for this day :)

Can't wait TWW3 trailers
