Total War Warhammer 3 All Cinematic Trailers Reaction 

Other chaos gods: enter the realm of chaos Slaanesh: the realm of chaos will enter you

Nurgle is actually the most caring out of the chaos gods just wants to share his gifts with everyone

19:09 Funny thing about this creature, it is called the beast of nurgle, and is actually a jolly creature, seeing everything smaller then it as a pet, and goes in for a big hug. What it does not know, however, is that its skin is absolutley fatal to any being, so it does not know the creature it hugs, is dying in agony. Ones this happens, it gets sad, and moves on to find a new pet to hug to death.

The fact they not only named the Godslayer Daniel, but also used that name in the trailer in a totally serious way, is just one of the reasons I love CA. Embrace the Chaos, embrace the memes.

The reason the daemon prince calls himself the god slayer is because, as a mortal, he shot and killed the bear god of Kislev in this games very prologue story.

the part at 3:42 sent shockwaves through the warhammer community, due to the map you see it was the first hint that they were making Grand Cathay a fully fledged faction as they have been nothing but half baked lore for 30+ years. That is why the adviser has the smirk on his face as CA knew exactly what they were doing

Trailers are character-driven because they show us our faction leaders and their motives and agendas. When you play, however, you play as a whole faction, not just that one character. There is a lot of story in the game via different quests and missions. Ultimately you are the author of your hero's story. You are leading them in battles and making difficult decisions. Trailers show like an introduction to them but it is you (the player) who writes their legend throughout the campaign. These lords and heroes gain different traits that define their personalities. For example, you execute captives after battle your lord will get the executioner trait and enemies will be afraid of him. You are present in cities when new buildings are finished you get builder trait and new buildings are cheaper...etc. It is still a very character-driven game even tho it may not look like it :)

There are four gods, knowledge that should never be learned, rage that should never be unleashed, life that should never be preserved, and ecstasy... that should NEVER be felt.

While Nurgle is super gross, you have to remember that out of all the Chaos Gods, he cares the most about his followers. Also the mutations and diseases his daemons and followers gain, they are super tanky, live a lot longer than usual and most feel no Pain. There are plenty of stories of people Disemboweling a Chaos warrior of Nurgle and they pause for a second with a look of "That's all you got?" before still keep fighting

Tzeench’s forces may not seem like much, but there are few armies that are scarier in pure magical power, and they’re the true masters of the Winds of Magic. Also, little fun note: that massive jagged structure in the second trailer at the end is the Brass Citadel, the dwelling of Khorne and illuminated high above it is the Blood God himself, the first true depiction of him in media. The Ogres were originally meant to be the perfect species to completely resist the powers of Chaos as they were being designed by the Old Ones (The same beings that the Lizardmen worship and seek out and original owners of the world), but at the coming of the Great Cataclysm and the Collapse of the Polar gates (Portals the Old ones used for travel), The sudden arrival of Chaos throughout the ruined gates forced The Old Ones to flee and leave their ultimate creations unfinished, and so the Ogres began to develop as they are now, alongside many other events which affected them into the beings they are now. The Ogre Kingdom lore is actually quite neat and worth looking into, although that can easily be said for every single Warhammer faction, as they’re isn’t a single bad or boring faction amongst the universe really!!! XD

Some context regarding the two playable human factions in the game: Kislev: a pan-Slavic fantasy nation primarily inspired by Poland and Russia. They are the northeastern neighbors of the Empire of Man and directly border Chaos-worshipping factions. They're often the first line of defense against Chaos invasions from the north and as such are a people hardened by frequent conflict and death. They worship a pantheon of gods, the chief of which is Ursun (the bear god/ice god). Currently, there is political turmoil between Tzarina Katarin (ruler of Kislev & ice witch) and Kostaltyn, the leader of The Great Orthodoxy (Kislev's religious body) after the death of Katarin's father Tzar Boris. Cathay: fantasy China, ruled by the Celestial Dragon Emperor, his wife (the Moon Dragon), and their children. It's the largest empire in the setting and until recently was only a minor footnote in the setting. We still don't know a lot about it as they've only just begun creating lore for it and its characters but the Empire is divided up between the dragon children, each of whom are associated with one of the major lores of magic. The two we see in the trailers are Miao Ying (the storm dragon) and her Brother Zhao Ming (the iron dragon). The Chaos god most interested in Cathay, and thus their biggest threat, is Tzeentch, as he sees their cultural and religious focus on harmony and order as a challenge.

Oh man you guys are so vanilla I just love it. It's really refreshing seeing someone react so confused , scared , disgusted by common warhammer stuff. I've always wondered how commoners feel about video games and warhammer and etc. so I just love watching you guys react to things :)

0:59 cinematic 3:47 story trailer (more or less) 6:14 kislev (Slavic) 7:19 Khorne (alias "Blood God" or "lord of Skull") 8:14 Cathay (Chinese) 11:11 same, just gameplay 12:21 Tzeentch (alias "Changer of Ways", "Lord of Change", "Lord of Sorcery" and "Architect of Fate") 13:22 ogre-kingdom 14:32 gameplay of them 15:44 Slaanesh (alias "Dark Prince," the "Prince of Pleasure," the "Lord of Excess," the "Perfect Prince," and "Prince of Chaos"...or the pink guys...) and Nurgle ("Plague Lord", "Grandfather Nurgle," "Lord of Pestilence", the "Fly Lord", "Plaguefather," and the "Lord of Decay) (yes they have many nicknames....) 18:45 Nurgles units 19:46 Slaanesh part 20:49 Chaos Undivided (...no, cant really explain it) 22:22 explainint (more or less) 24:45 epilog

The candy explanation was on point I must say. You just pick the Faction you like to play and rule with your "Empire". For Nurgle btw!

I'am just going to leave this little info here: Legendary characters in these trailers: KISLEV LEGENDARY LORDS: TZARINA KATARIN: Ascending to the throne and crown in the wake of her father’s bloody death fighting against the hordes of Chaos, Katarin has wasted no time cementing her grip upon Kislev. She is, in every way, a totalitarian ruler. She is stern and unflinching and will readily have rivals removed by agents of the crown if she cannot win them over with cold reason. The base of Katarin’s power, beyond hereditary right, is her extraordinary magical prowess. She is the greatest Ice Witch for generations, capable of magical feats more deadly and devastating than any other Ice Witch in Kislev. SUPREME PATRIARCH KOSTALTYN: Kostaltyn is the Supreme Patriarch of the Ursunite Cult and as the highest ranking clergy in the nation, the de facto leader of the Grand Orthodoxy. With wild hair, wilder eyes, and wither-thin limbs, Kostaltyn is a ghoulish figure, robed in the finery of the resurgent Ursunite faith. He is a howling, angry firebrand, screaming furious rhetoric at the enemy and urging the warriors around him to fight on with a fearful mixture of encouragement and threat. For he is himself fearless, able to recover from any wound quickly and thus inspire his flock to run pell-mell at foes that any sane person would flee! With complete control of the faith that binds Kislev together, Kostaltyn whips his followers into a holy fervour. He despises the machinations of the Tzarina and her Ice Court and considers them usurpers and magic-wielding heretics. KHORNE LEGENDARY LORD: SKARBRAND: The Bloodthirster Skarbrand was once the greatest of all Khorne’s Daemons. No other had piled so many skulls before the Skull Throne. One dark day, Skarbrand’s fierce pride grew hot and, blinded by rage, he smote the Blood God a mighty blow. Incandescent with wrath, Khorne cursed Skarbrand’s name and choked all personality from him, leaving only the bottomless rage that had caused him to attack. Since that fateful day, Skarbrand has wandered the mortal and immortal realms, drowning his sins in the blood of the slain - though he no longer has the wit to fully understand why. GRAND CATHAY LEGENDARY LORDS: MIAO YING, THE STORM DRAGON: Miao Ying believes herself to be the strongest Dragon sibling, and lords her power and position of authority as protector of the Great Bastion over her brothers and sisters. Despite her earned arrogance, she is well-aware of the significance of the task laid at her feet to protect Grand Cathay from the hordes of Chaos to the North. The constant scheming of the mortal lords of Nan-Gau, her capital and unconquerable home, does not make it any easier. ZHAO MING, THE IRON DRAGON: Ruler of the Western Provinces, the Iron Dragon is seen as a much more down-to-earth ruler and commander than his sister. Zhao Ming commands loyalty through comradeship, as well as his creation and use of powerful artifacts and magic items. He is one of the Empire’s premier alchemists and welcomes the same within his realm - much to the chagrin of some of his siblings. Proximity to the Warpstone Desert and the Great Maw, still seeping with the destructive magic that created it, has led some to believe his mind is beginning to unravel. This would certainly explain some of the odd tendencies and decisions he makes, but it is still far from anything approaching insurrection or dangerous to Grand Cathay. While less favoured than his sister by the Celestial Dragon, their mother, the Moon Empress, has a soft spot for Zhao Ming. TZEENTCH LEGENDARY LORD: KAIROS FATEWEAVER: Kairos can see things that are hidden even to Tzeentch. His right head sees possible futures as clear as day. No scheme is hidden from its sight and the infinite possibilities of tomorrow crystallise into irrefutable fact. Kairos’ left head sees the past without the petty colourations of perspective and bias. Valuable as this vision is, it comes with a heavy cost. Both of Kairos’ heads are blind to the present; he cannot see time as it passes - only events that are to come or whose time has already lapsed. OGRE KINGDOMS LEGENDARY LORDS: GREASUS GOLDTOOTH: Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese was one of many whelps sired by the infamous Gofg, Tyrant of the Goldtooth tribe. Like his brothers, Greasus grew up to become strong and fat. Unlike his brothers, he killed and ate his own father. As word spread of such prodigious deeds, many Tyrants decided to join the ruthless new leader of the Goldtooth tribe and soon, once again, the Ogre Kingdoms had an Overtyrant. These days, grown older, larger, louder and richer than ever, Goldtooth’s coffers fill faster than his Gnoblars can count. Yet Greasus’ rampant success has not diminished his greed, or his all-consuming desire to conquer everything he sees. As the fattest lad around, Greasus rolls into battle on a custom-made, gnoblar-pushed cart stuffed with gold, gems, and plunder. The glory of being too rich to walk, writ large across the faces of his enemies. His iconic scepter is used equally to steer and smash skulls, while he is always chewing on a massive leg of meat, or equally using it to scratch himself. He is an inspiration and a hero to all Ogres, and a terror to fight on the battlefield. SKRAG THE SLAUGHTERER: Skrag is the legendary Prophet of the Great Maw, also known as the Gore-Harvester and the Maw-that-Walks. Dragging his massive meat-pot behind him - attached to his back with a series of painful, tearing hooks and chains - Skrag hacks and rips at his enemies in a glorious blood-fuelled dedication to the Great Maw. In his wake, he leaves a trail of dismembered limbs and body parts, which it is the duty of his Gore-Gnoblars to retrieve and deposit into his cauldron. His history is as sad as it is brutal, brought to his current sorry state by a Tyrant to whom he fed the wrong Gnoblar. However, the punishment only connected Skrag more to the Great Maw, making him one of the most powerful Gut Magic wielders in the world. NURGLE LEGENDARY LORD: KU’GATH PLAGUEFATHER: Whilst other Great Unclean Ones work to spread the plagues already extant, Ku’gath, the Plaguefather, is fascinated by the breeding of new and virulent life. Ku’gath aims to one day breed a contagion that can infect the Gods themselves. The Plaguefather rides upon a massive palanquin bedecked with alchemical paraphernalia: vials full of seething powder, flasks of indescribable liquid and hessian sacks stuffed to bursting with Nurglings. This great bulk is held aloft by a carpet of straining Nurglings, and Ku’gath is attended on by countless others, all bred from the Plaguefather’s pox vats. SLAANESH LEGENDARY LORD: N’KARI: N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, is a notorious and ancient Keeper of Secrets that scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form. Over recent millennia he has developed a hatred for the Elven twins of Ulthuan, and whatever his short-term goals, the next part of the plan will surely involve their eternal misery. I know this is very long, but hey at least you know somthing about these cool characters! :D ( havent included the ones that are not in the reaction like boris or belakor! )

Can't wait for tomorrow, this release has taken far too long!

All it takes is one moment, hesitation, doubt, weakness, then the Gods have you.

6:00 Don't you hate it when you got for a walk with your bear doggo and end up in front of the Brass Citadel?

Not gonna lie Daniel or Yuri as I’m gonna to call him has got be the best thing CA has ever done his gameplay is awesome

"dude, keep that book shut..." best quote ever ahhaha

All this chaos stuff reminds me of that Azeriah Kyras speech. A little short for a reaction but a video on the best quotes from this or that series would be interesting.

I'm so excited for this game, I'm preloading it on Steam right now, and I think it unlocks at midnight! Warhammer Total War games are somewhat character driven, the characters are the generals that lead your armies, and specialists called heroes that can join the battles and do a variety of espionage tactics on the campaign map. It's so much fun, I can't recommend it enough if you like strategy games.

Thats why i love nurgle so much. At first when you look at his followers you feel repulse and disgusted but the more you go in chaos lore the more you realize that he is by far the most reasonable and pleasant chaos god to live under. Under nurgle your body might change but you keep your sanity. You will never feel pain or discomfort but instead you will feel a never ending feeling of bliss and satisfaction paying no mind to your (presumably) disgustingly resilient exterior.

Next thing you guys should watch on Total War: Warhammer III is the intro cinematics for each faction :)

I'm surprised you didn't like Nurgle - who wouldn't want to serve Papa Nurgle and spread his gifts on the battlefield whilst your personal nurgling chews and sucks your weeping boils? In the end, we're all fodder for maggots...

Out of these new ones I like the Daemon Prince the best. I like all the chaos gods depending on the mood so a character whos faction can choose any and all is perfect. I also generally like the more traditional gargoyle look of the daemon princes in Warhammer so thats perfect. What I'm really looking forward to is what they'll add in the future with DLCs. The daemons got some pretty cool upgrades in the Age of Sigmar reboot of the franchise so it would be really interesting to see if they'll embrace some of the more unique daemons that came from it, especially slaanesh who got Glutos Orscollion, a big chariot mini-palace drawn by big clawn-armed men with a gluttonous half daemon man on top, Slaanesh followers in general got a huge upgrade in Age of Sigmar with their faction "Hedonites of Slaanesh".

Probably Nurgle he is the only one out of the chaos gods that cares about his followers, you may look rotting and bloated but as his demon you don't notice or feel the changes going through you

Yes. Total War Warhammer is the best game series ever. The lore behind is awesome too.

I love how shocked when you saw the warp, it's a place filled with madness tbh, it makes anything of horror of what our minds could concept. Really pale in comparison especially when it comes to how creative She who thirsts. For slaanesh will use and make new holes in you.....

my favourite is Slaanesh 100%. I love how all the units look and the way they fight is just beautiful and terrifying.

I play the ogres song when I'm cooking! lol! The monsters you saw were the champions of Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch (Zeen-tch) and Khorne and the one fighting was the Ice Queen Tzarina Katarin herself!

26:00 With regards to your explanation, think less Risk and more chess where your Queen and King have names. You can get invested in specific units who have names, by naming the generic units, and by outfitting them with wargear and banners. I remember in Warhammer 2 I renamed a unit of Dwarf Rangers after they kept getting the drop on enemy Lords (army leaders), specifically wizards. They went from just some Rangers with axes I got on a whim to Ograk's Hunters (after a DND character of mine), who I would always use to take care of the accursed wizards. After a brutal battle left them dead, I would rename their successors in their honor as Ograk's Bearers. Or in another campaign, as Bretonnia, I named each leveled (as units can level-up) unit of knights after a properly Frankish name and their greatest kill (shouts out to Jean de Luc's Dragonslayers, a unit of Pegasus Knights who did the impossible). You can always play the game without this level of roleplay/attachment, but I've never enjoyed Total War as just a numbers game.

Cathay (faction led by two dragon siblings and that's based on China) was long time on background while Kislev (faction led by Ice Queen and based on Russia and other slavic nations) had they rules for tabletop.

10/10 reaction as always! I don't know much about warhammer either so I learned a lot of stuff while following this game until launch. Appereantly, the ogre king(the one burping in the cinematic) 's full name is Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth ' the Shockingly Obese' Which is one hell of a name honestly and quite fitting(especially the obese part)

Grand Cathay, easily one of my top 10 favourite game trailers of all time.

Your point that the trailers focus on character driven narrative vs mechanics based strategy is a good one! There is an incredible amount of character driven interaction that makes each faction/sub-faction feel unique. So in a sense it’s a bit of both! You should be somewhat invested in the faction leader and as you play it’s easy to grow attached to the individual units that survive and improve throughout each fight. The best campaigns generally double down on this. When you play as Broken-Axe, you’re quite literally cooking with Grom. Collecting ingredients and making meals is the goal, and cooking directly impacts how your army fights on the battlefield. so you’re always engaging with Grom and his cauldron mechanically and thus interacting with his character at the same time! A cool system for sure

"Oh, God-Slayer, you are not at all Cocky".....Well He did Shot and Fatally Wounded Kislev's Bear God Ursun.....after he travelled to save him at the begining

Finallyyy!! 😁 thank you guys for sharing it the day previous the release, you are formidable!! I loved the mix of emotions on your faces during this one, particulary with the demons!! A clear feeling of disgust and wonder. Again thank you so much!!!

Introducing myself to Warhammer and learning about it and you guys are perfect to make it more fun!! Great vid as usual😊. Also I'd totally recommend reacting to all secret techniques and/or team techniques from Ninja Storm 4. Keep up the amazing content!

So I have what it takes to become an unstoppable daemon prince. I have apparently wasted my entire adulthood in the wrong career.

Honestly I'm torn between Grand Cathay and Khorne for my first campaign. One thing's decided tho. Nothing will stop me from wiping out the Ogre Kingdoms first.

I was waiting this video like it's my birthday.

Great Reaction guys, Adrián below already gave an amazing character synopsis below so I'll just leave you with this... In the Nurgle/Slaaanesh armies reveal trailer, the Exile which is the man in the trailer was in previous Warhammer I & II cinematics. But I believe he was killed in Warhammer II. Turns out his benefactor Tzeentch resurrected him & given that book. In the trailer, it turns out Tzeentch sent him to Slaanesh's domain to meet up with the Architect (the crab armed one reaching for him at the end) give him/her said book. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to the Exile he was also included in this deal. Fortunately for him Papa Nurgle not wanting an alliance between Tzeentch & Slaaanesh intervened saving him from the deal. Also I recommend watching Weshammer's videos they're short but super informative, some funny, some sad, all good. You could make videos as short or as long as you want.

Long time viewer, y'all are my favorite reactors! Take your time with your schedule of course because I can imagine it's quite packed. Looking forward to Helsreach when it comes around :D

The look on a man's face when he asks his significant other what deity she likes best and she says: "Slaanesh" is a thing of beauty.

the wiggle of the axe by the juggernaught rider is win :)

Everyone compares Tzarina Katarin to Elsa, when all I think of when I see her is "Elsa ain't got sh*t on her!"

He seems like the husband character from a Hillary Swank movie. Doing dishes in sweats when she gets home from trying to save an inner city school from being defunded. The class laughs her out of the school and he's there, jobless, telling her to give it just one more shot.

Well, I maybe do not know much about those total war warhammer games, but I do know a lot about warhammer&40k in general, having read dozens of books and codexes, having played warhammer roleplaying games and many warhammer tabletop games from GW for the last decade. You said that those trailers were very character driven and to me this is all what warhammer is really about. You have dozens of fractions each of which having many named characters. You read about their stories in hundreds of books etc. So it is obvious that Total War developers went that way and presented it that way. It is much richer in lore than just some random npcs you see in those trailers. Nevertheless, that was good observation and I liked your reaction. I hope for more warhammer content on your channel in the future!

For Kislev! Katarin was my first campaign and arguably one of the hardest starting campaigns which I think really captures what Kislevites stand for in the universe. Being the shield of the Old World is by far my favorite faction in Warhammer.

1:57 Ken was directly seduced. Slaanesh got to him easily 🤣

I only recently learned of Chaos Undivided and its so cool to see how they implemented it in this game.

Thanks for reacting! I really liked these trailers, I think they were very efficient in giving you the feel of the cultures they displayed. The reason they go so much into the Legendary Lords is that you have to pick one as your "main" general, and who you choose can have huge effects on your faction and armies. For example, one Legendary Lord might make Dragons drastically cheaper to buy and keep in your army. They'll also do the voice acting for your Diplomacy screen, and will have missions to gather their signature wargear, and their own campaign styles and goals. The Daemon Prince is almost perfect, I wish they'd explained a little better that these start out as humans- that's the goal for any Chaos worshipper. In such a cruel, dangerous, violent and oppressive world, Chaos offers real rewards, NOW not in some possibly imagined afterlife, and greatest of all is that of immortality - Daemonhood.

In the soundtrack, the Daemons are represented by electric guitar because they _do not belong_ in the material world of drums and flutes and violins. Also because NewDoom is awesome, and it may also point to the TechFuture of Warhammer 40.000 which has these same Daemons.

Are you guys gonna react to any gameplay trailers? I don’t think you’ve seen what the actual game and interface looks like, yet. And this time around, the game has plenty of those trailers from the official Total War channel. I’d love to see you react to one or two of them.

Great Video! Fun fact, the two dragon people are actually twins, Zhao Ming (white dragon) and Miao Ying (storm dragon). Their dad is actually so old that he was already there when the space frogs cam onto the planet to create life (yes that is actually lore)

The trailers always keep getting better!

Glad you two enjoyed these trailers!

Fun fact: at some point in the old lore of Warhammer Fantasy, Nippon (fantasy Japan) clans were named after Japanese car brands.

I've been waiting for this since I saw your reactions to the first ones

Legit I think that building in the second trailer is Khorne's Brass Citadel and Khorne is just looking down on all who enters his realm. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

I love how even the basic kilevite infantry are such chads that they take on daemons in hand to hand

Been waiting for y’all to react!!!

Interesting fact: In warhammer fantasy battles / age of Sigmar (Total war warhammer 3 is FB) 5 Chaos gods, first 4 you know, the 5-th god is Horned Rat (or Horned) it's the god of Skaven (rat-human)

0:10 Total Warhammer. ;) 3:14 'Elsa' is Katarin, the Tzarina of Kislev. She had to step up at a very young age when her father, Boris (whose letter she is reading) died. 3:48 The dude is the advisor. Every game has had an npc to introduce and explain mechanics. This is him and he actually has a story arc that chronologically starts with the events of Warhammer 3, backwards to 2, then 1. The map he was standing over also confirmed the creation of a faction called Grand Cathay which has been mentioned in lore for a long time, but hasn't gotten an army until now. 6:09 The silhouette of Khorne overlooking the brass citadel. The gods themselves have never been depicted. I believe this is the closest we've gotten. (Veteran lore nerds, please check me) 8:12 The Balrog is Skarbrand, the mightiest Bloodthirster. He actually shouldn't be able to fly because Khorne yeeted him into the most epic face plant. His wings burned up in the process and his face got shredded too. They made sure he couldn't fly in-game though. :) 8:38 Dragon-headed canons are awesome! 9:02 The war balloons fly with the aid of something called a Vermillion Warbird. I don't believe we've gotten any further explanations yet on what those are, but I like to think of them as a Moltres in a pokeball, holding a basket-full of snipers aloft. 10:27 Kairos Fateweaver. Within the infinite fortress, in the domain of Tzeentch is the Well of Eternity which could grant all the knowledge of infinity, but even Tzeentch can not be guaranteed to survive. So he chucked Kairos into the well to see what would happen and he came out knowing every spell in existence and having two heads. One sees the past, the other all the myriad possibilities of the future. But neither sees the present as it happens, so he's got crap melee stats. 10:36 Miao Ying is one of the dragon siblings who administrate Grand Cathay on behalf of their parents, the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Empress. She believes herself to be the most powerful of her siblings and is not shy about saying so. There are also fanfics. Lady D of RE8 did things to people and so did Miao Ying. 11:46 Zhao Ming is dragon-bro. He gets along with humans, moreso than his siblings. He's also the favorite of the Moon Empress, so he's canonically confirmed to be a mama's boy. 12:02 The dragon-blooded are descended directly from the Dragons who rule Grand Cathay. As such, they hold a very prestigious place in society. Even moreso if they turn out to have an affinity for magic. 14:02 The opening and closing statements of an Ogre debate regarding the merits of napping after a meal. 14:06 The maw-pit. When Ogres need room for more complex discussions. 14:18 Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese, is the Overtyrant. He rules by the majesty of his deeds. ^ 15:20 Maneaters are wanderers who tend to immerse themselves in the cultures they fight for. The pirate theme kinda gets across that they go where the wind takes them, but it would be hard to depict the full-range of potential outfits. 15:23 Skrag the Slaughterer was the respected Butcher (kinda like a shaman) of his tribe, until he accidentally cooked their tyrant's favorite Gnoblar (tiny goblins, seen amongst the Ogres here 14:40). In his rage, the tyrant ate Skrag's hands and ordered his cauldron attached to him via meat hooks in his back before exiling him. To survive, he had to jury-rig his cooking tools onto his stumps. 16:14 This is the advisor from 3:48. The voices are talking about a deal he made with Tzeentch to gain knowledge, but now he's screwed. His story will be developed throughout the campaign. 19:19 Kugath, Plaguefather was just a tiny nurgling who loved to perch on Papa Nurgle's shoulder. One day, he fell into his pot of poxes. He ends up drinking down all the potent disease stew and crawls out of the cauldron as a Great Unclean One, the most powerful type of Nurgle daemon. Now he's hellbent on creating the craziest plague that has ever been, just to please Nurgle and make up for 'wasting' all his disease brew. (Like if you love Papa Nurgle too)

It's ok. You just don't know the greatness of the gifts of Nurgle. Papa Nurgle still loves you, despite being ignorant of his blessings.

The two headed bird guy, I forget his name, but the one you called golum. His whole deal is that one head sees only the past, and the other sees only the future, leaving him blind to the present

Gotta give in to those primal Daniel desires

Glad to see you guys reach this point, the epic finale of the entire series. There will be more DLC trailers down the line though

Wow great timing considering the game games out tomorrow! Already got it downloaded and waiting to go!

Can we just agree how big of a flex bear cavalry is?

He live up to his name since he became a chaos deamon by killing a god And for the people who know the rest of the story 🤫

Im so exited to play this tomorrow

Blood for the Blood God, milk for the Khorne Flakes.

A normal army has a lord character, maybe 1-2 other hero characters and maybe 16-19 military units. A lord or hero can have more impact than any single unit under most circumstances as well. I remember times where the big Orc Warboss could practically kill by himself 5 units if he had to. The point I’m making is the individual characters are pretty important, but they are just a important chess piece during the battle. You still have to think about all the pieces.

So hyped for nurgle

It would be fun to watch you react to the introduction for the Legendary Lords for each faction in Total War Warhammer 3! Great video as always :)

In game, always deploy your Elites last, that's why they didn't it early so they can save power

yay, so glad you did this one! i am so happy to try out Ogres soon (when i can afford the game) and the Cathay (human Eastern faction, with the dragons) that Chaos Undivided looks really cool too, i may check them out

You guys are so awesome! Keep up the great videos.

*Leonardo Dicaprio points at TV* "Candyland!"

Here is the reaction video I was waiting for...

If you want to understand Warhammer Fantasy, like you did 40K, here are two videos so far: Every Warhammer Fantasy Faction EXPLAINED (Part 1): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oC0DAEGQFKg.html The Real History in Warhammer Fantasy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_MtKpWFo5d8.html

I like Grand Cathay not only cuz of the dragons transformation but their harmony status makes their units so amazing

The Chaos gods may be the most malevolent force in Warhammer but they really have a lot of facets to them. *Khorne* may be a vicious, violent, and visceral psychopath, but he's also a being of martial honor weho despises treachery and deceit. *Nurgal* is a disgusting hive of disease and decay but he also represents the cycle of life and death in nature and the acceptance of inevitability which is why all his followers have such big grins despite leaking out of every orifice- natural or otherwise. *Tzeentch* is about as treacherous as they come but he also embodies the wisdom and cunning necessary to thwart betrayals, and as a symbol of change he's also one for progress as well. *Slaanesh* doesn't know the meaning of the word "restraint" but the extreme contrast they provide brings meaning to those moments of pain and pleasure. Hurt is needed to highlight joy and Vice Versa.

Yay, more Warhammer reactions from you guys! Wooooooooo!

I cannot wait to play this. I'm so excited!!!

You got check out some of the Total War battle shorts. They're so epic!

The cool thing is that all the other factions that you watched in earlier episodes from Total War Warhammer 1 and 2 are still useable in 3, so you can combine all 3 games to have a Super large campaign where all the factions try to dominate a huge world. :D

Legit got popcorn for this video alone!

First to start of awesome to see you react to the factions of Total War Warhammer 3 as this game has the most out there factions of them all. Also to answer some things that was show but maybe not understood. "Elsa" is Tzarina Katarin, the ice queen. The current ruler of the human nation of Kislev. Think a combo of Russia and Poland. And at the end of the trailer when we see a girl and a bear look at a hellish landscape so is that the brass citadel, the fortress of Khorn who we see in the sky. The 2 headed vultures is Kiaros Faith Weaver, one of Tzeentch's most powerful lords of changes. The white haired "priestess" is Miao Ying. She is the princess of the kingdom of Cathey. While the other dragon is her brother Zhao Ming. The other factions are of course the demons of nurgle, slaneesh and chaos undivided. The ogres are a pre order/ early adoptive DLC. Meaning people who pre order the game or pick it up a few weeks after the release get's the DLC for no additional cost. Which is honestly a good practice which I think more companies should do if they don't wane get away with the pre order bonus. Have them as an early adoption bonus too. The game is a combo of real time strategy for the battles, but turned based when it comes to the overworld, city management, army movement, politics and more. You also pick a faction and a Legendary Lord aka the characters, which are the ones that your narrative is around. But a cool thing is that you can get other legendary lords. For example if I play as Miao Ying and confederate the faction lead by Zhao Ming so will I have access to both dragon siblings. Really looking forward to this game and the big massive mood so I can play my main faction the dark elves. Also as one of you wane fight for Slaneesh ....... I would sleep with one open just in case. Also a question, are you guys planning on reacting to the Rainbow Six Siege trailers that have been released since your reaction. As all of year 6 has past, all the animated trailers and you didn't react to Six Invitational 2021 and the upcoming (February 20th) 2022 cinematic ?

That Ogre Kingdoms song slaps though...

Dude ice queen wouldn’t have stood a chance. 🤣

I can't wait for the grand campaign map. All shall fall before Prince Imrik the Dragonlord!

Im personally on team nurgle because he's the only one working for isnt guaranteed to end up being eternal torture at some point sooner or later. Gotta play the long game.

Everyone excited about dragons and daemons and stuff and i am just here holding my teddy bear being excited about bear cavalery and the frost bear giant.

Well it’s exciting to see how y’all react to the trailers of the game. I am really hyped for tomorrow to play the game. The trailers were excellent as always imo, I really enjoyed the Game 3 reveal trailer which was the first one, the second one called Trial By Fire, and finally the Chaos Undivided were all cool. I remember seeing them for the first time and felt just as hyped for when I saw the Silence and the Fury beastmen dlc trailer. Funny enough the third game in the series (this one) has the most beginner friendly tutorial/prologue of all the games. Anyway nice to see others find some interest in this stuff. Glad to see y’all had a good time.

Love your reaction videos :) you guys are awesome!

You gotta love Daniel. Already planned a multiplayer, since WHIII is the first to allow for 8-player campaigns, we are ~5 people starting a campaign, so the question who'll take what faction will be damn interesting. I personally would either go for Tzarina Katarin Bokha, the Ice Queen, or for Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon. But then, with 2 players it's fairly easy to be cooperative, even with strange faction combination, but with 5 (or more?) there'd be definitely more conflict around. Chaos Undivided, Daniel, is maybe *the* most interesting faction, not because of the faction itself, but because of the newly created mechanic of "create your own hero", something that has been long asked for by fans of the series, or TW in general. Can only hope that this will be extended to other factions as well. It's cool and nice to play all these well-known heroes and villains of the Warhammer franchise, but in the end every fantasy game lives from what we create in them ourselves, from the roleplay if you will. And roleplay always starts with a unique and own character. I've always voted for less playable legendary lords and heroes and more unique self-created heroes and villains, even if those are less powerful.

Totaly love Bethany reactions to chaos gods reveals, especialy Nurgle)) That are emotions that they should provoke)))
