Total War: Warhammer - Karl Franz of the Empire Trailer 

Exactly. Unity shall strengthen us. Division weakens us. I saw what was happening in the fractured nation of men as it was, and I saw fit to rectify it for the wars to come.

Rollin in with that +16 leadership aura

Me, being Kruber alone against a Bile Troll guarding my fallen allies: *Angry Morale Boost coming right up!*

For Franz!

He has Sigmar by his side

Well, it is based on The Holy Roman Empire, which was most of its time, a shit place to live in aswell :D

Same here Getting skull fucked by a random beastmen while farming is not a appealing idea

nah I'd gladdly be born into the empire, much more exciting than the modern world. I'd rather die to a chaos knight than boredom.

@@TheJoppa99 HRE was basically the first German empire.

@@TheJoppa99 Well at least back then you wouldn't have some chance to die eaten alive by a river troll when you went to do your laundry by the river.

Yeah no genetically modified human bs

@@phremg535 do i sniff heresy against his angels?

Chads don't need space steroids to knock chaos's teeth out. They have faith steel gunpowder and manly mustaches. plus this is warhammer and the true emperor is the only one I see welding it. 😆 🤣 😂

@@thecruzking that’s why I play imperial guard

For me it was “A nation led by craven and torn apart by the greedy” America needs our Franz

And whisper did Sigmar, Into Karl Franz’s ears. “Style points will ensure victory.”

I just noticed the soldiers retreat and when he arrive they push forward

@@javierjimenez4566 On face to face combat Moral is important the will of figthing can lead to miracles Usually having your emperor beside you creates the debt of duty on your hearth

For Sigmar and the Empire!!

@@mario8885 Elocuent words

That's not attention to detail, if they kept running it would have ruined the theme of this trailer...

+8 Leadership aura at work :)

@@EroticOnion23 it's to show how powerful and inspirational of a leader Franz is especially fighting alongside you

+Brian Dillon Mor Dakka

+Ciprian Gurgu Dakka dakka dakka

Mog says what?!

WHAT DOES THE ORC SAY?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

+FlodekNL HERESY THE ONLY TRUE EMPEROR IS THE GOD EMPEROR OF MAN!

+Brandon Morosco ...in 40k :V

+Brandon Morosco BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

+FlodekNL Just like Carolus Rex of Sweden

ah this is Warhammer Fantasy not 40K so FOR SIGMAR!!!!!

But..but..WAAAGH?!

+Fiend Matador Slayer of a Thousand Noobs no waaagh only FOR SIGMAR!!!!!!

As a person who plays Only Orks in 40k, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

- KING LOUEN LEONCOEUR! FOR THE LADY OF THE LAKE!

Yes M'lord Nice WC3 reference.

Even more awesome in Karl Franz's updated lord selection screen where he approaches a statue of Sigmar while his men do cheers his name and do their battle chants, ending with Karl raising Ghal Maraz high, rallying them

I finished the game and thats basically what always happens 😂

finish there is no finish there is only war

Bruh if your gonna make a Karl Franz meme at least get the name right Now I'm just thinking of Carl from Jimmy Neutron but German

*Karl btw not Carl

As inspirational as leading from the front can be it does have the habit of getting officers whose entire job is to lead not fight, shot in the first five minutes of battle. It’s not the job of a General and his officers to fight, their job is coordinating one thousand and change individual men to fight in the art of organized warfare so they can avoid devolving into a mass brawl that will see them killed to the last man.

​@@simonnachreiner8380I concur however, one cannot deny the beauty of a leader fighting his own battles.

​@@simonnachreiner8380TBF British Officers did Do this Regularly, Not only being on the Front but being Unusually not bothered by all th Chaos of Battle, like Walking during a Gun Fight Unbothred, Go back Earlier and Kings and Emperors Did Bark Orders while they fight along side their Men too, even for example Napoleon was Aiming Cannons along with his Men while Conunter Batteries were being fired at them.

​@@yelenasolovieba3848Its actually an Image repeated a whole lot by many Statesmen and Generals if exaggerated by them at times.

@@simonnachreiner8380 well if they cant fight then they should not be leading

silverclawedwolf DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR, ONLY THE DARK GODS CAN RULE THIS WORLD!!!!

Thiago Rehder Monteiro Costa Nah.

silverclawedwolf "I'm gonna stomp 'em to dust. I'm gonna grind their bones. I'm gonna pile 'em up inna big fire and roast 'em. I'm gonna bash 'eads, break faces and jump up and down on da bits dat are left. An' den I'm gonna get really mean." +++ Grimgor Ironhide +++ FOR GORK N' MORK!!

LordVader1094 seriously?? seriously?? alright then.......

silverclawedwolf FOOOOOOOOORRRRRR SIGMARRRRR

Also in the lore he is the chaos most hated enemys . So chaos corupted his wife and son

Well the windows tax was kinda dumb....

@@kaneslives it actually happened in new Orleans

@@kaneslives well. It’s not like it didn’t happen in real life so

Didn't he beat a guy to death for not voting for him?

Here heard of Settra?

How was the workout my dude?

@@thestormtrooperwhocanaim496 That's what I wanna know, 3 years later haha.

@@JessicaAriadne same lmao

Bro tell us how the workout was, we need to know

Only correction is I am pretty sure he said led by the craven, not craving.

@@JessicaAriadne I shall fix that.

@@emperorkarlfranziprinceofa9373 Also, it should be "its heart"

Banish not punish. Thanks for the quote, brother.

Thanks you dude

If only the Emperor of the Old World and the Emperor of the Imperium can team up against the hordes of Hell led by the Devil.

Me too! =D

Oh look ! It's the corpse emperor .. how's your corrupted imperium doing? Crumbled yet ?

This action does not have my consent!

@@karlfranz310 SHIT,EMPEROR KARL! GREAT HEIR OF SIGMAR!

@@random4115 Thank you fellow heir of sigmar, but what brings you to my court?

@@karlfranz310 the vampire counts...they are attacking stirland!

@@random4115 very well, we rieklanders will not stand for such filth, tainting the lands of sigmar.

Homeboy has been dropping hellfire lines in his speeches for 3 games straight

Thats strange i never had it

Yogart Demigryphs are the single best thing to happen to a fantasy IP since forever.

hutchy1k94 FUCKIN WHO NEEDS HORSES RIGHT!?

Yogart RIGHT! (HIGH-FIVE!)

hutchy1k94 FUCK YEAH (HIGH FIVE!)

Kek it makes Kislave Bear Calvary look weak.

Paul F same although i prefer the bretonnia trailer

Yep

That man is the definition of badass lol I even just started a new Empire campaign on Mortal Empires. I feel the Empire is a very underrated race to be

John Doe Don’t you dare fucking insult franz by calling him a sigmarine LONG LIVE OLD WARHAMMER! LONG LIVE THE OLD WORLD!

COULD IT BE HIS STAND?

I DO!!

Thanks, I wondered what he was saying. 😂

Not only that Karl is an Emperor so a Step above a King.

Same!

Ikr

same

I can’t stop waiting all of the trailers from the games they’re just really good

@@ahmadtarek7763 I REFUSE!

I am Karl Franz, this comment does not have my consent

There only 1 inventor who made 12 steam tanks and he's dead already with his plan too, how make steam tanks. There only 8 steam tanks left out of 12. There no one know how make one. I read lore of warhammer that what it said.

Dark 211 True but they know how to repair/rebuild them somehow.

+solwen if u can rebuild them u can build them

Freya Valentine The imperial engineers can't replicate the more complex parts of the tank boiler but rebuilding/changing the other parts is not a problem. In the rare case of a boiler exploding, they just put the pieces together as best as they can, the tank sometimes losing some effectiveness. You may be able to fix your car but making a brand new engine yourself is something else.

solwen if u rebuild your tanks and piece it together especially as severe cases as them blowing up u gather knowledge on how it works and then u should be able to build your own too

Claire Stark Amen to that, I'd drink to it

You mean a totalitarian dictatorship festering in hypocrisy

The Empire, the people are not free. The Emperor has standards he is expected to maintain. His nobels and officers have standards they are expected to maintain. And the standard citizenry have laws and rules they must obey. No one in the Empire is free. By necessity. Unity is vital for mankind’s survival in the Warhammer World. Freedom, must be crushed, for that Unity to prevail.

@@creamychoclatelobsterwarri979 comparitive standards of living and liberties far outstrip all other candidates with the possible exception of the high elves.

@@clairestark9024 The Border Princes, and Southern Realms probably have a more balanced standard of living, all thing considered, you're not in a hopeless state like Bretonia (arguably the worst place to be a peasant, if they even have the concept of citizenship).

Jesus Christ 7 years.

But not for that end times shit tho

@@johannesrompis3984 End times ?? Looks like complete fiction to me, I'll pretend that never happen.

alex cracan

@@durq2790 don't use the word heresy so lightly. It's a vey bad word.

Yeah but he unified humanity, built an empire of more than a million planets and even in his current state he is the most powerful psyker in the galaxy and keeps the chaos in check. Franz has to live up to something

- When Chaos sends us their people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing Spawns, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some of them I assume are good people.

- So we're going to build a beautiful big fat wall, and we'll make Chaos pay for it!

Except that we didn't build wall, we punch them in the teeth !!

Now Europe, a bastion of hope and courage, needs its own Karl Franz. Purge the evil that dare confront us!

Juliniss Hah only Christian Eastern Europe is that bastion you speak of, western Europe is a hole and needs a Karl Franz urgently

and an army all made with hellstorm.

What have you done now Karl? Why is there a pile of dead orcs in our house?!

Llamas...

Orcs is not people.

Karl Franz is eating hands for breakfast. 😂😂😂

Well the empire armour and style is based on the German empire

I can see that by the iron cross.

William Susanto It looks like it's mixed with the Roman Empire too with the Latin and colours.

An Croí na hÉireann not really, The Empire in Warhammer is more based on the much later Holy Roman Empire.

Robbie carter All of you are wrong. They're based in spanish conquerors, about 1492 year dc.

***** TODEH TEH ENEMEH IS AT OUR DOAR!

MATIPUL SIMUHLTAN-EE-US DUHFENSIF DEEP STRAKS!

Whispers: wagh

NOH!

You face down monsters of the worst kind on a daily bases in the armies of the empire

2:53 and then azag overcast spirit leech and karl franz died the end.

but empire still pulled out the victory by cicle charging DMK P.S if u havn't yet buy this game therea re some balance issues right now but that was expected when u make a warhammer game.

for sigmar :(

Honestly the scene would have been more epic if the charge would have lasted a bit longer, looks like they trumple a couple orcs and then stop

FOR HELDENHAMMER

+Gonad The Nomad The 40k guys are, in fact, worse than the history buffs and the warcraft fans combined. They should know better.

Yeah no shit... It just frustrates me a little... I mean jesus the facts are all around.

Gonad The Nomad RIP. This comment did not age well.

Gonad The Nomad saying that Warcraft is a ripoff of Warhammer is as stupid as saying that LotR is a rip-off of GoT

Like Archaon were warrior priest of Sigmar until he got corrupted by chaos (like Arthas who became a Lich king) or Varian who's personality is very simmilar to Karl Franz and they both have a magic weapons Varian : Shalamayne Karl : Ghal Maraz.

Idk the vampire coast was pretty epic

+Davito2000 this trailer captures emperor franz really well, on the ground he's just one of the guys more of a leader than anything else surrounded by his reiksguard. Deathclaw is what gives him his physical clout.

There is no time to be lost, STATE TROOPERS!

@@LazyLufish BATTEL CAMRADS, TODEH TEH AINEMY IS AT OUA DOUAR

TenguBE Perhaps most are fine with whatever since a lot of warhammer fans just want to play this asap.

TenguBE 14 patches will be needed, im guessing.

TenguBE I know this slant against CA is called for, but lets stay positive. I am very hopeful for this game.

bcdcool94 I am too. I cant wait for this game.

9 patches.

Your comment is 3 years old, so I guess this kind of counts as a necro. Anyways, Humans are THE interesting faction in the Warhammer universe. Every other faction except for the lizardmen, tomb kings and skaven are literally THE most popular way they are depicted. Dwarves? Angry mining people with technology. Elves? Arrogant people. Some of them live in the woods. Some are evil. Orcs? They do be Orcs tho not gonna lie. Humans? Usually the absolute good guys in fantasy settings, just sitting there being a victim taking everything, but in Warhammer bby. Absolute fanatic madlads, hating and killing everything that slightly annoys them, the super Chad of the Warhammer universe. Lizardmen tomb kings and skaven are all interesting concepts to and form my top 4 favourite factions together with empire, however they are never gonna beat my boy Franz. Edit: I forgot the vampires: Oh no! How could I forget the most original faction to ever exist! They do be doing vampire stuff.

@@f4llen489 The vampires that control armies of undead pirates with giant crabs. I don't see much of that anywhere else

​@@danielwoods3896 and ships with legs

he is riding a goddaam griffon your argument is invalid

Have you heard of stirrups?

:D

+IshaME Productions You are forgiven

+IshaME Productions So Bawld and so Fewlish!

SPESS MEHREENS WE ARE THE EMPEROR'S FUREH!

***** WE KNOW OUA DUTEH AND WE WILL DO EET!

With steampunk discounts from Renaissance Italy, like tanks and guns.

Which was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire (classicaly speaking).

@@balazsfonnyadt1903 Yes, I have totally never heard that quote before.

all of warhammer is a copy of history of mankind and its perfect

@@Knight7562 It is parody of history.

+mnp 21 Luckily this won't be age of sigmar

AoS is still a huge upgrade over 40k. wh40k is just disgusting now, the only relevant factions are marines and chaos.

It's basically what TWWH is all about for the Empire.

Karl does that from time to time. The only difference is that at the end of the day, he's able to get off it.

i think it kind of reflects the way that the factions are - Cathay was never really developed in tabletop so they had to go with a more mysterious, "awe-inspiring" kind of vibe because there wasn't much to go off of in the lore other than "they're pretty cool and have a big wall". meanwhile, this one is a lot more grounded because The Empire is the "main character", the star of the show. there's oodles of lore and they know exactly what they're going for when they do stuff for The Empire hence it feels a lot more solid

@@timothylu1 i agree it could have very well been that but they have gone for a arcadey style everything and i despise that. but still looking with hope for the immortal empires

@@warhouse9762 i really get where you're coming from, i also felt like this one is a game trailer and the Cathay one was like a movie trailer lol

Total War: 3rd Age. It already exist.

+Holo The Wise Wolf (Holo.) Not for this game unfortunately....No official mod support :( But, there is one already for Medieval II total war, called Third Age: Total War, and there is another one in progress for Attila called Total War: Rise of Mordor.

+Holo The Wise Wolf (Holo.) There's one for Medieval 2 Total War and there is one in the making for Total War Attila.

LKVideos For Warhammer I meant

***** Oh, sure. Moist likely modders will do one for Warhammer. Imma convinced.

"SUMMON THE COUNCIL" and "THIS DIRECTIVE DOES NOT HAVE MY CON SENT!"

I composed the track mate

+Morbid Mouse I mean they can literally have a no-blood option instead of making us fork cash over....

+DamnedUsernameThing Yes, but a blood option could cause a higher maturity rating and defeats the purpose. By making it separate, the DLC can have the higher rating instead. That being said, I think it is silly that people should be concerned about their kids seeing blood in a war game. Living things have bodily fluids. If you cut me, do I not bleed?

+Denis Govorkov Its so that the age rating is lower so more people can buy it.

+Denis Govorkov Don't you'll just pay $10 2 months after release for the blood

+Denis Govorkov Gonna need about tree-fiddy

Nice one

you realize warcraft characters are basically ripoffs of Warhammer characters?? where do you think the image of young (uncorrupted) Arthas comes from? i can tell you; he is based on Sigvald... his story is even sort of the same, except Wulfrik's is closer to Arthas's arc regarding the whole wandering the chaos wastes and eventually going insane thing etc.

@The Heretic yea but GW didn't wanna hand blizzard the rights to do it, so they did their own version. yikes.
