Warrior Priests of Sigmar Lore Overview - Warriors of Faith - Total War: Warhammer 3 

Good one! 😂😂

TFS Nappa: "I get it!"

​@@frankthetank8050 no

​@@TheWarmachine375 omg! Really!?

*Badum tss*

For Sigmar, for the empire!

Reminder for Fatshark to fix the Warrior Priest weapons and make them right-handed Nvm fatshark never fixes anything

​@@TaRAAASHBAGSViktor is ambidextrous

@@twinzzlers Community-made cope. He wields every other weapon in the game right-handed.

@TaRAAASHBAGS There's litteraly nothing wrong. If you're talking about the book, that's on purpose. Every other weapon he favors his right hand and no it is not a cope.

That voiceactor needs a raise.

Facts, love all the heroes but Saltzspyre's voice lines is what sealed the deal. Im just running thru the map doing charge attacks just to hear "DIE..SCUM!"

Yeah single player would be awesome. Just not like chaosbane. Plz no.

@@nocturnaljoe9543 I was thinking more like Pathfinder by Owlcat :D

@@chilliewhk I'd rather have it either like diablo2 hack n'slay solo or like Divinity Original sin2 round based with a team of heros.

@@nocturnaljoe9543 like mordheim you mean?

Would be a dream come true to walk through the Empire on your character.... doing quests, exploring Skaven sewers, dark forests, towns, markets, colleges of magic, forest goblins, etc. In an open world setting. So much potential.

Tomes? Tombs are a little more undead than warrior priests

They are but men, but they have Sigmar's holy favour!

I mean to be fair they are wizards

@@juliuszgodek6514 I think that's old lore. Used to be a thing with them basically channeling a brand new Wind of Power, Teclis apparently felt it when fighting alongside them. But I think that in the current canon it's genuinely Sigmar's power and favor.

You can still play it you know…

That has been melted into my brain the first time I watched that video

🙏🏻🙌🏼

Mark of Chaos*

He was a Templar. Not a priest. He was more like a Knight.

@@TheWarhammerJunkies Dayum. Thank you for sharing, man. Do you happen to know what he read in the books that made him so angry?

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Warrior Priest: hope you can pay for healthcare, heretic, because the taxpayer can't!

TRUE!!

Nope Sisters of Sigmar's main temple was trapped in Mordheim There are Priestesses of Sigmar in the Old World. Especually in AOS. Also Freya didn't just side with Sigmar out of loyalty. She sort of forced him to sleep with him

@@badfoody "She sort of forced him to sleep with HIM" 🤨

In a world such as the Warhammer world, the dangers of religion are the least of people's worries...

@@arcotroll8530 Very much agreed. In fact, for all of their differences. One of the major similarities between High Elves and Dark Elves is their devotion or prayers or summoning of the power of Khaine, their god of war and essentially murder, in both the Fantasy and 40k settings. But the danger is still there very much like how someone from the Inquisition may wanna help the empire but end up essentially turning people against it. Feeding the beast or beasts of the Ruinous Powers. But alternatively a lot of innocent seeming people are some of the most dangerous and devoted to the Chaos Gods whether by choice or from being groomed into that from a young age or even working with the vampires similar to that young Vampire lord - Aldophus Krieger, also a necromancer, from the Gotrek and Felix books that kidnaps and turns Ulrika Magdova Straghov. He was trying to use a piece of Nagash's soul sealed in a medallion/pendant. And that along with him speculating on what godhood is, reflects that his small army of devotees that serve him and that he feeds on except maybe his favorite servant (like a lieutenant) Roche that he was just noticing at that point was getting older and considered letting him breed to make another one to further serve Krieger. But what Roche wanted was to be a vampire, that's ultimately what most of his servants wanted after being fed on, because the feeding caused a psychic link as well as a euphoric feeling of having their blood drunken. And unfortunately in several stories there are deities using prayers as a way to gain or keep power above mortals/humans. Often smiting them or whole kingdoms or cities to make people pray to them again, especially referencing most from Greek myth and occasionally Norse. But that's the gods or people so powerful that they see themselves as gods or becoming like one from a slightly justifiable power trip, only someone like a magical elf warrior (like Teclis and his bro Tyrion mixed together, but divided in power or skill a bit) could challenge someone like a vampire. Of which they all seem to be human. Dwarves or Elves in the setting rarely ever look back on their time or evolution or transformation. We get more of that from the literal Ratmen like Grayseer Thanquol or his servant turned sort of rival Lurk Snitchtail who was mutated into a horned and hulking Skaven about 3 times the size he was before (Which was barely above a small adult or a child), towering over his former master. Both of their thoughts and developments in power, mostly when Thanquol was high on warpstone dust, they saw themselves as more worthy and powerful than others. And the other Skaven leaders (like mid-level bosses. Even though Thanquol was a leader and a Grayseer, he wasn't on the Council of Thirteen) they worked with and against also were so egotistical they could see themselves as King-like or King-worthy unless they were going to be killed by their superior or a rival or betrayed by an ally, if not all of the above. I have a feeling that it's kind of the same thing with the vampires unless there's somebody from the von Carstein or Lahmian lines or something. Unless we see something like that in the Age of Sigmar, religion can be very dangerous. I'm talking about all of this without going into the Ecclesiarchy in the 40k universe that often end up serving the Chaos Gods or even the Tyranid Genestealer cults in one way or another, by first using their position to make things about themselves and having their followers become violent in their defense of someone they look at like a messiah figure, getting further away of their worship of the “God Emperor”. That's when Inquisitors, members of the Assassinorium, or Space Marines get involved to kill the heretic and make an example of them. In the Fantasy setting that's pretty much the same, minus the Space Marines, or the Imperial Assassins (as far as we know). In which we know that the skaven have their Clan Eshin assassins but we don't really hear too much about them. I think if somebody was a religious nut, especially when heretics worshipping demon gods, would be Super necessary in any Warhammer.

@@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027 Still what they do with that power makes all the difference. Especially since the Asur worship all the other gods alongside Khaine (Which is more accurate to say they "honour" more than actually worship) while the Druchi are fixated on him and him only (Slaanesh hidden cults not withstanding and they are illegal even for the Druchi anyway except when under Morathi's patronage, Malekith you mama's boy!). I am a High Elf fan too!

@@arcotroll8530 I wouldn't exactly call him a mama's boy considering that he doesn't trust her. He keeps her around because that's his mom and he loves his mom but more likely than not she would definitely try to either kill or seduce him if she thought she had a shot at it. Or rather she just likes me in the power behind the throne. Which is pretty much why Malikith let's Morathi do whatever she wants. For the most part. In fact, Morathi is like Lilith from the Darksiders games, but Malikith doesn't shun her like Death (the Horseman of the Apocalypse) did because he knows her true nature. I think Malikith does the same but keeps her close by despite knowing how treacherous she can be. And in the 40k, sorry to keep bringing that up, they also have the laughing god Cegorach. He might be something like an aspect of Tzeentch, but alternatively he could also just be someone similar to him. (Since other people also say Khaine could be an aspect of Khorne and the Skaven's Great Horned Rat could be either Tzeentch in disguise or more likely an aspect of Nurgle because their plague rat priests and cult). That is true to say that they likely “honour” and invoke Khaine considering how unstable he is. And how in the sci-fi how Eldar who act as his war avatars have a likelihood of going blood mad and want to murder everything and everyone around them, even other aeldari. The lore also has me a bit confused as well, since they kinda imply or flat out state that Malikith or his followers that were secretly in Ulthuan are/is the reason for the divide between the Elves and Dwarves, which I don't understand considering his friendship with the dwarf who became a sort of warring protective spirit Grombrindal. Yeah it weakens the High Elves but not by much, since both sides still pretty much use or ally with humans to keep both the Dark Elves and any other threatening forces at bay like Vampires, Beastmen, Chaos Worshipper armies, Ratmen, Greenskins, etc. Also, thanks for mentioning the Dark Elves because it also just reminded me that for all of the lore about Malikith wanting to eventually retake Ulthuan (despite several unsuccessful campaigns) which ultimately created the Dark Elves, we know next to nothing about the Chaos Dwarves in relation to their regular kindred. Because they were mutated and worship the minor dark god Hashut (who might be an aspect of Khorne or Tzeentch) and we know that in becoming what they have, they were actually increasing their population somehow in comparison to the regular Dawi. But sacrificing all of the other races on a day to day and enslaving them is basically the same thing the Druchii do. So I don't know how that works. Plus we only know about a few of their leaders, and next to both about any women among their kind. Plus in war, while they can muster a lot of mutant units like horned centaurs or whatever, they also use Hobgoblins as a vanguard and a sort of overseer to keep working the enslaved peoples they captured and ultimately kill working them to death. There's literally no time to rest. Just talking about that makes me wonder how in the world they even have enough people in the Warhammer fantasy setting to constantly have a stream of slaves to sacrifice like that, each one powering Hashut, or in the Dark Elves' case keeping Slaanesh from eating their souls first.

@@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027 Well, concerning the elves vs dwarves specifically it is stated in many relevant army books that the Druchi disguised themselves as Asur and attacked dwarf caravans in order to provoke the war. Even then it all could have been avoided but for the shortsightedness and arrogance of the Asur king Caledor II. As for Malekith he was a friend of Snorri Whitebeard the dwarf high king way back when before the Sundering and the rise of any human nation when elves and dwarves fought against chaos together. By the way, back then it was only implied that the dwarf king became Grombrindal after his death, and there were several other possible identities for him untl it was confirmed he was Snorri during the general dumbing down of the setting in the accursed Endtimes (THAT IS NOT FUCKING CANON! as Kitten from TTS would say!) As for the Dawi Zharr they are indeed one of the most underrated races in the setting and we can only hope we can learn more about them in the coming DLC in TWIII. However I do not agree to the idea that the various gods are aspects of the Chaos gods in one way or another, especially Hashut who is if anything, far too lawful (evil) to be a chaos god. As for details on them (or any other race really) and their relationship with regular dwarves (that most of the time simply refuse to acknowledge their existence) the strategy setting was always sparse. What you need is WFRP, and even there they are barely mentioned, despite being one of the greater and more stable, if very isolationist, powers. Finally, as for the numbers of their slaves, WH writers (as with most fantasy writers really) simply have no sense of scale, same when they claim "millions of elves" died during the Endtimes and they still exist, despite them already being a race in decline! Also, how the hell can the hordes of chaos be "numberless" and have all that armor when they live in a wasteland where there's nothing to eat, no industry etc? Best accept as it is and pay it no mind I say.

Similar but they exist in a different universe, seperate faction with unique limitations and strengths and fight distinctly different forces.

A show of piety and humbleness as per the religion
