Norscans: Invades the Empire

Empire: Reverse card

Norscans: Wait that’s illegal.

The Norscans were like " how dare they raid us while we were raiding them?!"

ended up starting a warhammer fantasy rp game with a few friends because of these lore videos, loving them mate

Summon the Elector Counts!

Sleeping or learning lore... hard desicion

Damn. Mortkin sounds like a total badass, just like Settra. Mortkin used the chaos gods and gave them the finger when his quest was fulfilled.

Ah poor poor Ostland, always the buffer after the buffer. But honestly in quite a few of my TTW games their either the first ones out, or some absurdly ballsy fighters. I remember fondly my Azhag the Salughterer the run, where I got up north late, having decided to conqure Bretonnia and the Border Princes instead. Everything was ravaged by Archaon and his cronies, wasn't a soul to slap save for some crappy, half starved beastmen and a bunch of garbage tier Norscan chariot and horsemen spam. Even the Vampires were pretty meh, their stacks being mostly garbage and their power halved by the Chaos rampage. But then I come up north and I see Ostland not only has most of what once was Nordland, but also having rebuilt Kislev. Apperently Von Roukov had decided to kick the shit out of Norsca, utterly stomp out most of Chaos' stacks, with only Kohlek and Sarthorel cowering up near Bearsonling camp with their Norscan pawns driven utterly out of the Old World. And den me and da boyz came in and smashed and burned all of it, conqured it, and then went on to smash da spikey gitz right and propa.

So just to reiterate... Kislev falls, the Empire is ravaged by Vampires and Chaos, the Empire's allies, Dwarfs and Bretonnia, is utterly overwhelmed by seething bands of Greenskins. But Von Roukov, being the fucking monster he is, decides. "Nah fuck you, fuck your chariots, fuck your hellcannons, fuck your hordes of massive, lighting spewing, centaur things, and kiss my Runefang!" He then fights, for what could only be in game YEARS, utterly handing Norsca and Chaos, and later the VAMPIRES their collective asses, on FOUR FRONTS. First from the North, then the south THEN from the Norscan mountain  settlements to the East and from the Sea of Claws. He does all of this, carves and empire out of the ashes of Kislev and Nordland, faces the apocalypse head on and slaps Archaon and Sgivald into bloody smears, rips Sarthorel and Kohelks armies apart. There is hope, there is this glimmer that the Empire might survive in a form... And then a bunch of green holigans from the south and their pet spiders come out of nowhere and burn it all to the ground. Grimdark indeed.

My Empire army was an Ostland army.  Then GW killed Warhammer Fantasy before I could even play a game with them.  Nowadays they're quite happy to be serving in my Kings of War army, and they've made me very proud in many battles.

Thanks for this video on my beloved Ostlanders.

Is it just me or is Mortkin the most noble Chaos Champion, as noble as they can be at least, he used the Chaos gods gifts to help him yet when he was on the brink of being a friggin Everchosen, he gave the Chaos gods a middle finger and went out on his own accord, now that his dept is done, what a badass

Great lore, its hard too find good quality lore right now when you don't own all the books.

The sheer enthusiasm in this guy's speech...earned a sub for sigmar

Stupid province always given me troubles in total war.

Wergild isn't a word for any debt in general. It translates literally to "man-money". If a man was killed by a man from another family, the offender could offer to pay a sum of money depending on the slain persons status to avoid a blood feud. If the family of the killed person accepted this wergild there would be no revenge (at least not officially).

Ostland: Kislev with better artillery.

With the maps these videos you have made are among the best lore videos ever made on warhammer fantasy!

Would be nice if the Bull Warriors rode bulls.

I wish the map in total war Warhammer was as detailed as these...

Ok this is not the ostland i was searching

Currently working on a mordheim warband for these fellows! Thanks for the video!

Do lore of the witch hunter
