Total War: Warhammer - Vampire Counts Cinematic 

General grievous 😂

Man didn’t have to but noted the mens bravery for following him to their doom

@@nazgulthedeathless9403 Not really, calling someone a "brave corpse" is just mocking them lol.

i heard this vampire lord could split his arms into four and hold as many blades

General Carstein!

@@GGGmod1 HELLO THERE!

General Carstein! I thought you'd be taller!

​@@GGGmod1 "You are a bald one!"

If this was based on a certain event in the lore, the Witch Hunters weren't certain it was Manny at this point, only that the Von Carsteins (who encompass most of the nobility in Sylvania,) were up to something; Volkmar sent a Witch Hunter to find the truth. Manny was not impressed, and declared war on Franz by dropping said Witch Hunter's body on the Imperial Palace.

nagaking07 not just halberdiers, there seems to be swordsmen unit too.

It's even worse than that. Those are spearmen, the type with no shields. The kind you start with, and get rid of as fast as possible.

I'm sure he was laughed out of the room by a Marine

@@bubbasbigblast8563 Yeah but that was not during Mannfred's time, this expedition was launched when Vlad Von Carstein was up to something. Before he started the first undead war in the Empire

Yeah, early game feels like my guys are made of wet sand. Stronger leaderhip/binding later in game feels so good though, feels like an actual enthralled army of undead.

Technically undead are immune to fear and terror. It´s just that they basic undead units have no cohesion or leadership, and will crumble as soon as their leader takes their eyes off them and they start getting cut down.

@@the_tactician9858 if anything they buffed the undead too much. Used to be that as the vamps you actually need to take care of your lords, least they get sniped. But now most undead armies can keep cohesion even even their lords die. It has changed the way that vamps are played, and I'm not a fan of it tbh,

+Krystian Blaszkowicz RPG lore not law

+Krystian Blaszkowicz RPG Yeah usually in fantasy realms dwarfs are immune to magic therefore it applies also to necromancy i suppose. That's the reason why most of them are using runes to have "somewhat magic influence".

+somebodyekkee new models and separate animations would be needed, plus logic to individually apply them to each race properly. Too much work.

+somebodyekkee read about them in a book (yes, those things are still around) called the dwarfs. Dwarfs are just to stuborn to use as undead puppets.

+Bart Broekhuizen When they tried to make undead dwarfs they turned against there masters

Technically Vlad von Carstein was also an Elector Count, sooo..

Miguel Lemir You can stop monologuing now, I get it.

@@minoreror9961 Just Wound me and send me back to Reikland already.

@Flekk Bone Gnawer Now that would definitely ruffle Mannfred's feathers lmao

The regal way of saying “you picked the wrong house fool!”

Basically night king who can talk and rapes plot armor characters and mocks the north of having "ally" cersei who hides in the king's landing and then tells jon how he will build throne of cersei children corpses

@@Pancombine18 can you give me the lore explanation of your comment pls

@@thanquolrattenherz9665 OP said manny is better than night king and i told him manny is pretty much night king who can do all of this and used GoT replacements of what manny said in this trailer.

i c wot u did dere m8

DOCTOR MUNDO You mean you see me? 24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9w4mtF3H41qc0h9yo1_500.gif Is there any light in the void?

The hobbit reference i see

Im not sure the witch hunter was aware that THE Mannfred Von Carstein was awake.

And one unit of Spearman unsupported.

A Witch Hunter... great zeal, small wits xD

What makes it worse is that witch hunter is Von Korden basically Warhammer Abraham Van Helsing who would never let himself be ambushed in Sylvania.

+Aidan Otero you do realize against the undead there isn't much hope for victory when you're outnumbered, each time one of your own falls their ranks bolster

+warbossgrotsmasha23 you forget that standard undead are shit fighters. A vampire that uses his undead against a numerically superior force is gonna get his shit kicked in. If each man you have can kill 2-3 skeletons, then depending on how outnumbered you are you're looking good. Now, those later skeletons in plate, I think that would be difficult. Those random skeletons with rusted armor and weapons? You could manage.

Not exactly. Yes, the more of yours that die, the more the enemies army is bolstered, assuming a necromancer is about, but the undead are far weaker in general infantry, so say a shield wall would crush them without support.

Seth Mcclain what undead army marches out without necromancers? that's like having a living army going out to fight without field medics, I don't know much about vampire counts armies but don't they have necromancers they can field? or the hero unit itself using his\her necromantic powers to raise the dead? just like Manfred did in this video

***** oh no it's much worse than an army going into a fight without field medics. Prior to world war one, most armies simply left their wounded on the field and kept fighting, picking up the survivors and attempting to save them after the battle. An undead army physically cannot continue to exist without a necromancer. When the necromancer dies, the army begins to literally crumble to dust.

Theres a Necromancer Legendary Character that can do just that

Vampires don't become under the thrall of the vampire who made them. This is why Warhammer vampires are relatively rare and fairly picky about who they turn. Turning their enemies into vampires would only make their enemies stronger.

One of the WoC characters can do exactly that now, turning generals and heroes into daemon princes.

I always go for Evil Gandalf because I think it's funny when he triumphs and overcomes despite being a bit of a joke in universe.

Vampire Counts are more personified by being able to actively deceive humans and work within their politics to secure power. It's only in the End Times this breaks down. Mannfred screws-up everything for the Vampire Counts, Vampire Coast and Arkan trying to resurrect Nagash. Causing Chaos to win and destroy the world.

@@TheReapergod36 Exactly. Just like what Mannfred did for the VC in terms of how Sidious in Star Wars did the same because of his ego in trying to become a God himself

@@bradyturner645 So you like playing characters doomed for failure?

@@TheReapergod36 especially with where he is going to be now in Immortal Empires in WH3

Could be a quest battle,

I think he's based on Gunther Stahlberg. Gunther Stahlberg was sent by Volkmar to investigate the restless dead in Slyvania. He entered the Drakenhof Castle with his retinue to find Manny at the head of a dining table who goes "come at me bro". You can guess what happened next.

Zomgbratto Di Lolrenzor did Mannfred let Gunther try to hurt him before killing him?

@@evanhaskel206 His henchmen surged forward tried to kill Mannfred but Mannfred easily jobs them. With over half of his retinue dead, Gunther and his remaining men fled only to be overtaken by Mannfred's minions before they can reach the borders of Stirland.

Likly it would bie of attrition.

"Sul sul!" Mannfred

Aaaand everybody hates them and prefers Warhammer 2 sieges

I honestly hate sieges in this game 💀😭

tyrion and malekith can do the same

Nagash shows up and pushes chaos shit in

ejay11000 Let's not forget there isn't just 1 blood thirster in the whole Warhammer universe...

+Imperial Guardsmen let's not forget nagash could summon hundreds of zombie dragons, terrorgheists, morghasts

ejay11000 Let's not forget i actualy know near to jack shit about Warhammer Fantasy. icri:c

+Imperial Guardsmen ok just to fill you in nagash is one of the most powerful beings in warhammer fantasy...even rivaling the chaos gods

It's just more corpses for him to raise in the end. :P

@@TheHalcyonTwilight kill the undead faster then they can ressurect them

@@TheHalcyonTwilight Bro just bring steam tanks, try gettings corspses outta that thing

Amanda G. Easier said than done my mortal friend >:)

@@joshuahadley776 well the knowlodge to built steamp tank is lost so the remaining steamp tank that do exist are only sent in dire situation oh and also thats a swamp the tank probaly gonna drown

2022, yes-yes!

Me, shegorath and Maiq hanged around near Bravil the skooma kept coming it was a wild ride. It got X10 times more awesome with the moon sugar. It got strange when the hist sap came in. Sheogorath was saying something about cheese before his butler took him in, Maiq who knows where the fucker really is and I woke up in the imperial city prison with a dark elf across the cell saying how I will die there...

+Skooma Much , Did they put out his eyes too? ;)

+Skooma Much He hated them even before they put out his wallet. Do you think I'd be out here in the comment section without good reason? Yes, CA needs strong critics. No, CA doesn't need unpolished DLC's at her gates! So that's why I'm here. I, the leader of the Shitpostii, to bring Roman order to the stinking DLC's. A good game? That'd be good, too. This war aganist the DLC's won't last long, and when it's done... I've got plans. This is all about sales. Sales in CA. Going down that road means dealing with all my rivals. Sega, the campaign packs, those unit packs that turn out to be just reskinnings. The Empire and the Attila games, too. After all, the man who controls CA, controls the shitpost. And one day, I'll be Emperor.

+Mateo Pedro Gonzale de Azcuenaga but its not an unpolished dlc. and unpolished dlc would be nice, but no, they actually removed it from the game and put a paywall on it. so many AAA publishers do this. it has slowly but surely made me give up on vidya as a hobby.

Even b4 they pulled out his eyes!

+hodsmat Yes! total rip-off... (sarcasm)

Well nor really like Minas Tirith...because the humans in this can actually fight... I know movie time constraints got move it along but still pisses me off how the good guys can't fight worth shit...

+eyepet2010 I'm not saying it's a rip-off, but the sequences are too similar to be a coincidence, IMO.

+hodsmat because the "seige of a heavily fortified city" scene was coined by minas tirith?

+hodsmat badass right?

No love for the Vampire Coast? :P

sadly even though i love vampires i also find vampire coast to be pretty underwhelming@@DutchGuyMike

+Shane McZane Lessons learned indeed.

Have you noticed how each trailer's general had a deeper voice than the last?

+Shane McZane Jup, same for me. That, and I'm skeptical about whether the game will be worth the price if it has another shitload of DLC that should've been there the entire time.

+Bainbow I would love it if the next trailer voice was just unintelligible growling noises xD

Shane McZane That was basically Grimgor's. :D

+Ivan Hinojosa "what a twist?" Anybody who follows anything about warhammer could tell you the undead would be in. Lore-wise they are one of the oldest and most influential factions next to chaos. Read a little about Nefereeta, the Von Carsteins, Settra(tomb king fellow), and Nagash and you'll see what i mean.

Which units are possible? Maybe neferata as LL I think nagash will come in part three

@@ragnarokivae6136 dont know what gamesworkshop has implemented in the roster of them apart from them which in the total war game. But it would nice to see some bloodknights with spears and a zombidragon which can rise in battles if dies in battle. Like the Phoenix of the high elves. For example.

+evildumdum7 Terrorgheists are going to be in game, we haven't seen them in action but there was a reveal trailer for them on the "Total War" youtube page. It came out days ago.

I know. I saw the other day and didn't stop running in circles for hours.

+ZRFTCH SEGA!!!!!!

warhammer 40k eternal crusade going to get that as soon it comes out

Killing flesh enemies is more fun than killing skeletons

kirk Cobain09 obviously it’s just head canon but yeah I agree, if he beat franz and became emperor, it would be cool if he didn’t just massacre the people and rather ruled with an iron fist and defended the then defunct empires borders with his undead armies and his badass self.

Yes.

“If you spell subtly like _this:”_ (explosions, Ghost Love Score)

Go sign the petition

+Sulfonicpawn 44 petitions don't do shit and rarely accomplish anything

+Dovahkiff This one worked, Ca have compromised, now instead of pre order or pay, u have 1 week after release to buy it and still get chaos for free. Not perfect, but also way better.

Jake Bishop you guys everything except most of the new races were free

That's why I never bought any TW after rome 2. I was convinced to buy a "complete edition" involving the whole series, steam promotion back when Attila was brand new, and it was indeed "complete"... Saved only by Rome 2, who only got the "emperor edition". On that moment, I understood why people were so mad with CA. Blood DLC is something unnaceptable, "race packs" smh Just to complete the goddamn game, I waited years to buy the remaining DLC for a pitiful price, but I swear, I will never buy a TW ever again. I playing pirated Warhammer non stop for almost a weak, the wait was more than worthy. I love this series, but Sega rotted their business.

+OneOnOne1162 I like to have free beer and bread too.

MC Mark Markson Implying, what? That no cut content is too much to ask for? Because I quite remember a time when none of that shit happened.

OneOnOne1162 How was having chaos playable ever part of the content in the first place? Were you mislead in advertising? Was there misleading information about the available races? I don´t remember a time were some shit never happened. You sound super ignorant sorry. TWW offers tons of more content than they ever did before. Cry all you want about not having the money to pre order or buy 5€ DLC. Srsly I want to get you DLC guys. Are you compaling about a company that want to sell their product to people that are not forced to buy said product for anything but pure entertainment? Have you seen all the different units and changes to TW? It´s going to be as replayable as never before.

+MC Mark Markson (MusicLover) You are new to warhammer or something? Where did you saw world of warhammer without chaos? How locking part of the game before it is even released to milk more money is acceptable to you? Are you mental, or CA employee?

***** Maybe you are deluded. The customer is always right? Thousands of customers and all are right.

+krish698 ssshhhhh do not give them ideas :p

+krish698 Personally i think they should have swapped it with the Chaos Warriors :(

+krish698 only Chaos is Preorder, still bullshit though

+blackvial He's being sarcastic.

+Jack the Nipple Ripper personally chaos is nothing special. vampire counts actually add something to the content of the game

The game really got far huh

+Viorel never enough. Like star wars movies. Even the hated episode 1. More Star Wars!

Everyone says that until they get hungry. Sure, you can always eat dead halflings, but only once.

Magni56 I really do appreciate your time and effort to explain this to me thanks

+Elliot Lauwers Wasn't it made with the game itself?

+Elliot Lauwers this is in engine footage, and the total wars have great animation

It's a joke.

I think he means generic undead. Like Zombies and Skeletons, they technically don't fear anything (mostly because they're too far gone to even comprehend any kind of emotion, much less feel fear).

Absolutely agree. Personally, I think Attila was a waste of time and resources. They should have went back to the Gunpowder age in my opinion. This fantasy crap doesn't for Total War honestly

+PaladinWiggles As someone who played Rome 2 and Attila, I can only say that I feel your pain! Just make sure to give the game a negative review once it's out.

I'm wondering where the hell my WWI and WWII total war is? I mean seriously, if they did it right it would be so damn perfect. Imagine landing your troops on the beaches of Normandy, or Okinawa. Or imagine landing your troops on the beaches of London, and Los Angeles if you want to change up history. It would give Creative Assembly room for lots of innovation, and hopefully larger and more dynamic maps to play with.

+PaladinWiggles Yeah Rome 2 was awful but how many Total War games has there been about 10 ? One is bound to end up being bad. Even most of the best game series ever (Mass Effect ,Halo , Civilisation ect) Can't release half as many as that without at least one being bad. Attilla was a far better game and is a solid game in one of the greatest game series ever. The day 1 DLC though is a solid complaint though personally isnt enough to turn me from the series as a whole.
