Man, I love your lore videos. They are well written, clear, and throughly enjoyable. Your interest and depth shines through and allows me to understand the backstories of these crazy cool characters and add a level of richness and enjoyability to the campaigns I just can’t stop playing in the twwh games. From my heart, thank you.
Maybe the poision attack is based on the fact that his Brothers died from the blue rose plauge? Also I Think Helman Ghorst design is some of the best, its simple but horrorfying. Defenly my favorite vampire count lord.
Until I found out about this lore channel, I only knew the lore about beastmen, high elves, and lizardmen. Alnog with any of the lore found in a Warhammer Fantasy rulebook published in 2006.
The blue plague the spores didn't kill him but you can clearly see that that you're still in him look at his vains and his Brothers bodys so the spores are spreading to the zombie in his army.
Loremaster I love that you take the time to make these videos. They are the bright spot of my month :) That being said how likely is it that you will continue your faction videos, like the wood elves?
The idea that bringing together the blood of three holy beings who are insanely anathema towards the undead and using them as sacrifices to bring back some great undead is stupid I think Mannford was honestly trying to weaken Nagash
Great Vid as always Sotek! :) I would love if CA added in Krell to the Vampire Lord roster or at least along side Kemmler. Ever since i started playing vampire counts as Heinrich Kemmler this sentence annoys me ... "Where's Krell?" That being said you can only recruit Wight Kings as Heroes... Clearly that doesn't mean they are mean't to replace Krell. I have no clue if Krell will be added in to the game, although i have faith! :O
Do you have a playlist of these Character Lores? Im a TW lover and have all of them and their DLC but I love them on a Historical note but now with WH3 and IE coming I am trying to actually learn the Lore of all the factions and character vs just blindly playing.
Love the content I hope this latest TH-cam bull crap doesn't affect your channel. It would be a shame to loose your channel and others like 40k theories and leutin 9 etc
Hey Loremaster of Sotek, recently I've been looking for some lore about the Vampire Hunters of Ostermark. Might it be a subject to cover or is there not much lore about them in Warhammer?
He should've been a legendary hero tbh... which is one of the few criticisms I have of the game overall. I feel that CA missed out on having special/legendary heroes, potentially a cut above the usual ones with a bonus in some way but certain requirements to recruit along with a possible slight weakness or limitation in comparison to keep things balanced. Personally, I was hoping for Deiter Helsnicht as a LL. Krell has now been released as a summonable for Kemmler a la the Green Knight. I haven't really tried him out (haven't had the chance to play for a while due to illness) but I've seen a lot of disappointment in forums. Anyway, good work sir Loremaster, keep it up.
I agree. But where's the Heinrich Kemmler lore video? I was actually kind of interesting to see that one. But he really needs to do the Skarsnik and Wurrzag lore videos after that. They're just too awesome to not be next.
nice video man, just wish you would speak a little more naturally. Maybe you read from a script and its hard for you to deviate from a reading voice to a speaking voice? Keep it up dude!
How would his zombie brother’s have been able to “tear apart” his human opponents while they were pushing Ghorst along in the cart? Even if the were able to get to an enemy within arm’s reach while pulling it they couldn’t do much testing with just one hand. If they did stop pushing and let go to fight each time they ran into enemies the cart and Ghorst would fall over backwards since the wheels are closer to the front and only one on each side. 😄 And why would being on that cart help Ghorst anyway, it would just make him more of an easy target for pistol and cannon and make it more difficult to fight opponents himself, what with him being up in that cart and unable to reach with a weapon the enemies his brothers were fighting up front? Also I guarantee you being pulled on that piece of shit cart would make him go a lot slower than just walking... 🙄 Sometimes Warhammer authors don’t think things through, they should hire me as an editor... 😄
Actually a sad story, a boy/teen overwhelmed by grief seeks to revive his family, learns necromancy, gets hunted for it and lost his way.

It must be so easy to be a necromancer, you can literally find corpses everywhere.
There really isn't a ton of information on Ghorst...
But it was neat to hear anyway.
Hell, gorst is been there for a while. Just played him recently. He is a beast, but way to slow for what vampires are good for
His cruelty knows no limits!
he has nothing left, Mine wouldnt either.
Update: Ghorst in TWH 3 is now 100% zombie focused. You just send waves and waves of zombies at people. It’s awesome!
Love your lore videos. So much detail, and now, featuring more than just a few still screens.
This video really raises my necromancer's corpse cart.
Good editing, synching the battle narration up with the gameplay

So cool you are using the in game for the lore vids :D good job sotek!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.MMMM! Gotta love that Sotek Lore vids.
Loremaster I love that you take the time to make these videos. They are the bright spot of my month :) That being said how likely is it that you will continue your faction videos, like the wood elves?
Loremaster ...your great to listen to and very informative. Keep on going brother, and if you can more vampire bloodlines lore please and think you
Spoopy shit dude. Perfect for the Halloween season!
They have reworked Ghorst in Immortal Empires and he does have a strong emphasis on Zombies.
The idea that bringing together the blood of three holy beings who are insanely anathema towards the undead and using them as sacrifices to bring back some great undead is stupid I think Mannford was honestly trying to weaken Nagash
"I would have preferred Ghorst to center around zombies."
So, what's your opinion of Ghorst now? :D
19:58 Heinrich Himmler video?
Is that video ever coming? 😅
Great Vid as always Sotek! :)
I would love if CA added in Krell to the Vampire Lord roster or at least along side Kemmler.

This also aged like wine
A lot of commitment making this video in spite of totally hating Ghorst.
AND SO THE MEME WERE BORN
Shoutout to the biggest joke in Total War Warhammer😂😂😂😂
Do you have a playlist of these Character Lores? Im a TW lover and have all of them and their DLC but I love them on a Historical note but now with WH3 and IE coming I am trying to actually learn the Lore of all the factions and character vs just blindly playing.
What book is this from?
Love the content I hope this latest TH-cam bull crap doesn't affect your channel. It would be a shame to loose your channel and others like 40k theories and leutin 9 etc
Wonder why they went with ghorst over Dieter Helsnicht. When they add Nagash, Deiter has to be added and he suits the horde master more that boresht
DO GROM THE PAUNCH!
That aged fine and well
I want Moonclaw as a lord for Halloween
Can you do Belegard next ?
Cool stuff
I am glad that Helman is a joke even in lore.
Helman might suck ass but at least you get a good buff for killing him! Free poison attacks heck yeah!
where does this info come from? im so new to these videos.
Novels most likely
Novels, Army Books, and occasional articles in magazines. The largest parts usually come from the first two.
Hey Loremaster of Sotek, recently I've been looking for some lore about the Vampire Hunters of Ostermark. Might it be a subject to cover or is there not much lore about them in Warhammer?
You litterally just read the Wikia article on helman ghorst
HRRMMM Sounds familiar.
Butch DeLoria "inserting his opinions" but a wiki page isn't exactly that, Biased Opinion....
lol
@Butch DeLoria but this comment aged like milk
Can you do more lore on total war?
He should've been a legendary hero tbh... which is one of the few criticisms I have of the game overall.

he is a lg lord..(?)
doot doot
What? WHat is this?
I-I almost forgot it's been so long, the sound this feeling tell me my loremaster is this heaven?
I agree. But where's the Heinrich Kemmler lore video? I was actually kind of interesting to see that one.
But he really needs to do the Skarsnik and Wurrzag lore videos after that. They're just too awesome to not be next.
His brothers are full of mayonnaise
Ghorst should make zombie more usefull in game like...spreading disease and make enemy ill (like -1 HP/sec.)
i like the stories but the wh game backdrop is a fukin travesty
nice video man, just wish you would speak a little more naturally. Maybe you read from a script and its hard for you to deviate from a reading voice to a speaking voice? Keep it up dude!
Grand daddy of bonies
Helman Ghorst=Herman Goering.
Ghorst is a pretty lame lord in Total War(hammer).
How would his zombie brother’s have been able to “tear apart” his human opponents while they were pushing Ghorst along in the cart? Even if the were able to get to an enemy within arm’s reach while pulling it they couldn’t do much testing with just one hand.

What the helman
