Achtung!!! Channel will go dark next week for a late easter vacation! the bunny has been dropping eggs around my house and i need to go find it's home and show it the error of shitting on my property, we will return to schedule as usual on the 16th.
At least your home country allows you to still celebrate Easter. How long before Sweden or the UK declare Easter harmful to Muslims and ban Easter for being a Hate Holiday?
To be fair to the witch hunters, sniffing out Chaos is not particularly difficult. If the village smells like an orgy at a perfume store you've got a Slaanesh infestation, if it smells like corpses dragged out of a sewer Nurgle minions are somewhere in a 10 miles radius, Tzeentch is harder to smell aside from the smell of burning more just look for anomalies like a cow with 5 butt hole farting purple flames, Khorne you can't really smell but look for the "3Bs" Blood, Bones and Brass being used for clothing and decorations. This has been your friendly inquistorial tips for the day.
When you ask "what would Jesus do?" keep in mind that breaking out whips, throwing tables around and beating people in the church is within the realm of possibilities...
Considering that the Temple went from a true place of worship to a business that swindles and is corrupt…yeah, Jesus did show actual righteous anger and had public evidence. (It’s not that the people can’t buy the proper animals for the specific sacrifices, just do that OFF of temple grounds, not LITERALLY in it.)
I can't help but feel that Khorne is actually the easiest religion to follow and has the simplest rule set. 1: Find stuff and fight it. 2: If it puts up a good fight take its head and put it on the pile, if not leave it alone. 3: Return to step 1.
Pretty much. Khorne essentially has only commandment - murder stuff in his name. Do that all day, every day. It's a common saying among Khornates that a day without bloodshed is a day wasted - and Khorne doesn't like wasting days, since any day that is wasted not killing is a day that could have been used for killing, and that pisses him off (well, more than usual, as Khorne is pissed off by default 100% of the time).
Oddly that sound pretty darn close to the religion of the Lady of the Lake: Step 1: Find big evil monsters to kill Step 2: kill them Step 3: get a drink of water. Step 4: become an immortal demigod and be available for free sexual use by beautiful magical women. Step 5: avoid the fan club at all costs.
Michael war is another word for conflict as is competition so technically a worshipper of Khorne doesn’t necessarily have to be a soldier he could be a boxer
In heldenhammer by Graham McNeil, King Kurgan of the dwarves advised sigmar that he could win a battle by hitting the enemy on the head until there's none of them left. This has been the core principle of the cult of sigmar to this very day.
The primary problem with most beastmen shrines and monotliths (herdstones) is that sometimes there is a huge fucking minotaur guarding it, slaughtering everything in a one hundert meter radious.
I mean, most of those hammers did have vicious spikes in the back, I'm pretty sure you could disembowel somebody with that. (funny considering real war-hammers ALWAYS had this, not just most).
@@ElectromagNick False, there are actually few things that can actually pierce plate armor without you immediately regretting it (weapon getting stuck), even early firearms struggled, the spikes on war-hammers were intended for piercing into the gaps of plate armor, where only maille protected. Especially with later sets, it would be hard to even get a good square hit with a spike on a breastplate due to the rounded shape. Armor was strong, far stronger than most people seem to understand. An arrow from a longbow will easily pierce most armor, yet with plate the arrow simply shatters, causing minimal if any damage to the armor. Knights are scary!
This is giving me Warhammer online nostalgia. I really liked the Warrior Priest, Archmage and Shaman classes, I enjoy the combat mechanic of healing by doing damage and switching among multiple targets. It's a very active form of healing which is a hell of a lot more challenging, and fantastically more fun, than just being a healbot. It's not only more difficult to heal that way, because you can't simply spamcast heals, but also because you have to actually pay attention to what you're doing. You're actively DPSing which encompasses all of the tactics and movements and rotation of being a DPS - but also constantly scanning your companions who you're DPSing to keep alive. It's twice as active and twice as difficult as being a healbot, and more fun than any other healer I've played in any other MMOs - and I've played a lot of them. I've seen similar mechanics in other MMOs, but they were either specific subset minor utility abilities or subset specializations which did very little in the way of healing. rarely were these mechanics something you could actually focus on, let alone were they built into the classes as the main focus: aside from Rift, which had the same class designer so it makes sense the mechanic would show up there in the Chloromancer Mage and Bard Rogue. The problem with Rift... is that it's Rift. The Rifts eventually become far less a novelty after the very first zone and far more an agitating nuisance which makes leveling your character a nearly intolerable grind of consistent, if not constant, annoyance.
YES. I'll have to watch this later - at school at the moment. As a brief side note, bald Germanic people who are blindly dedicated to a warrior god and hit things with large hammers (mauls actually, I think) should scare the shit out of a lot more people than they seem to.
Lord Frostwind Fair point. But still, bald heavily armored Germanic zealots with fucking massive hammers larger than their rageboners. Would you fight that shit?
I’m amazed A Random Crusader hasn’t muscled in on this comment section to yell about how Arch is doing videos on the wrong religious fanatics and should be coming out with the Templars video already.
"They can smell warp influence if it is strong enough" All the more reason for Nurgle worshipper to hold on to their butts whenever a witch hunter is closeby ;7
Hammer time in warhammer is all the time, I’ve read the vampire war books by the way and I really enjoyed the character of Vlad, I wouldn’t mind if Arch did the vampire war books or even some lore on the high elf civil war
Idea...Start 3-5 new Sigmar temples in every national capital on the planet. Having lots of big, scary men wandering the streets carrying big, scary hammers fighting evil should do absolute wonders for getting the ick out of politics.
I like the fact that there are such diverse GW lore channels: Onemindsyndicate does it the nerdy way, 40k facts and loremaster of sotek do it the analytical way, and Arch does it the jerky-cynical way.
As Hammerfall would put it "Bring the Hammer Down" | 6:10 - Ooooh, brutal!...even by THEIR standards. | 9:18 - As in what Archeon was before he became the Everchosen? (who had his anti-plot armour kick to the genitals by Grimgor Ironhide retconed) | Some things speak for themselves. | 19:00 - One is messy, one is unclean, one is basically worse a brothel...one isn't in one place. The place of worship for the followers of Khorne is the battlefield. | 26:26 - Did you HAVE to put it that way?...
Well you could have a temple to Tzeencht. Maybe one that you continuously tear down and rebuild differently in new location as you travel. Like maybe the Tabernacle.
Well you know what they say, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered" or more to the point recieves a fuck off giant two-handed Hammer to the face followed by "IN THE NAME OF SIGMAR!! I JUDGE YOU ALL!!"
I am certain it is entirely possible to grow bountiful crops in that environment, it's the staying alive long enough to harvest it that is the real challenge.
9:30 you are right, they are templars. Just like witch hunters who come from the church are considered templars. Basically it seems that every elite warrior from a religious organization is granted the title of templar and the title of its role.
Well at least korn as liking want something like Sigmar or Oreck I can spell using right but still you're interesting I know the green-skins got shamans close enough for Warrior like priest close enough
Was hoping for more info on there combat abilities and or a few story examples of how bad ass they could be but thanks for the awesome videos as always
Back when Warhammer MMO was a thing this was my class. Man I had such hopes for that game. Conversely I also played a squig herder which was a blast to play.
and here i was waithing a whole week for ''descent of angels'' wich i thought was more like ''decent of angels'' but it had some nice stories anyways. oh well the waiting continues.;-)
Erm, hate to point this out to you Arch... but that type of architecture is far from uncommon in the real world. Look at the Borderlands between England and Scotland for example, or look at old Welsh Houses on the Irish Sea coast, you see exactly the same thing, massive construction, no windows on the lower floor, the single door reachable only by either a wooden stair or, in some cases a LADDER. Hell that kind of construction was common throughout Wales as we liked fighting each other as much as we liked fighting the English! Not saying Warhammer is not batshit insane... but the kind of architecture you were talking about is actually pretty fucking common during the early and mid medieval... because you know, the landscape was full of Lordlings fighting each other over who called their dog a sissy or the fact that the next door neighbour smells funny and had squinty eyes.....
I wonder about other Races' Gods. Khaine for example. Would Witchelfs or the Executioners of Har Ganeth qualify als Warrior-Priests? Or the Swordmasters of Hoeth? Or what about Dwarfen Ancestorgods do they have Warrior-Priests?
The Dwarven Ancestor Gods definitely have priests that can take part in combat, that much is attested to in the Gotrek and Felix novels. I'd consider Witch Elves to be more like the Empire Flaggelants, just more attractive and deadly, but essentially just a band of fanatics, rather than ordained priesthood. The Hags of said Witch cults however could be considered in broad terms to be similar to the Warrior Priests. As for the Executioners and the Swordmasters, I'd say that they are simply more an elite force of warriors, rather than any sort of clergy members. And in the Executioners case, it seems that at the very start they were nothing more than regular guards who became a more elite force as time went on, but they don't seem to have any official connection with the Khainite religion. Also I think the Bretonnian Damsels should be brought up here, as they are the priesthood of the Lady of the Lake and also magic users capable of taking onto the field, though as befits their goddess and society certainly less martial than Sigmarite Warrior Priests.
I'd say Slayers, as a whole, aren't like the Warrior Priests. They are certainly warriors and devoted to their god, but I'd say that they are again more like the Empire Flaggelants, fanatical death seekers rather than organized and official clergy.
Runesmiths aren't a priesthood really, they are simply superb smiths, who can somehow imbue a rune with magical power. They don't, as far as I know at least, beseech a god for it or otherwise act as clergy.
If we go by the RPG books, every faith in the Imperium - other than that of Shallya and possibly Verena (though the latter have their version of investigators/witch hunters) has warrior priests of some order.
The khornate warrior priests could offer you victory in battle, the blood and skulls of your enemy and to make your fighting spirit and body stronger imo.
