This is one of the best parts of dwarf culture, the idea has been used in tons of other media but I'll always love the orange haired slayers.
"...become obsessed with the matter."
THIS IS GOING IN THE BOOK OF GRUDGES
If you want to know more about the mindset of a slayer id highly recommend reading the gotrek and felix novels, it really goes deep into what makes a slayer. There is one chapter in which they encounter a band of dwarves that have been taken as slaves by the dark elves. Gotrek insults them for allowing themselves to be taken alive by the enemy rather than die fighting back! Later on, these dwarves come to the dues aid, having shaven their heads and picked up whatever they found to find as weapons and all taken the slayers oath. They all died, and gotrek honored them for redeeming themselves.
literally the most badass of badass's in dawi kind.
I have traveled through the warp to approve this video.
This is such a fantastic channel. It’s now my go to for lore. Great job, keep it up
love to see a video about gotrek and felix
lol I was waiting to hear how he would pronounce Golgfag
Awesome
Please make a movie of Gotrek&Felix
Finishing an ME dwarf campaign and seeing the whole world blue brings a smile to my face. Close to extinction, eh? Bullocks!
There just people from Lancashire who shrunk a bit
Dwarf Slayers = Doom Slayer as Army !!!
*Tom Araya approves*
Will there be any lore videos for Nakai the wanderer in the future?
The slayers will be the first to die because they'll charge in first against the biggest enemy
Finally another dwarf video thank you
There's only two kinds of dwarves.
Dwarf 1: I want nothing to do with this at all and you can't change my mind
Dwarf 2: I'LL KILL EVERY UGLY LOOKIN' CREATURE ON THIS MOUNTAIN INCLUDING MYSELF
Loved the video! Always enjoy narrating the dwarves
3 kinds actually, Gotrek: I"ll take every creature on this mountain and in the lands of chaos with me to the death, but for some reason I won't die...
"Gotrek Gurnisson is the greatest failure of a Slayer to have ever lived." -Templin Institute
They ain't wrong...
So bad , not even end times managed to kill him.
Grimnir himself have to 1v1 him to grant him the death he wished.
Say what now?!
@@gotrekgurnisson9934 Hey! How's that glorious death coming along for ya? ;D
Being a Slayer is basically the opposite of an RPG. The stronger monsters you kill, the more enemies you slay, the stronger you become, means you're constantly failing the one thing you're trying to do.
I think it would be a good character
Slayers in a nutshell: *SUICIDE IS BADASS*
No no no no no.
Death seeking is badass. A slayer is seeking the most honorable death possible to right the dishonor they’ve committed in life.
The entry level Slayer is a Troll slayer because to die to anything less is just mere dishonorable suicide.
I think Total War has saved Warhammer (fantasy) and I'm happy for that, love both
Edit: Yes and Warhammer has been one of the best and most refreshing things to happen to Total War indeed. The idea to combine the two was brilliant on both parts.
Not really. Age of Sigmar and 40k are doing fine. I think Warhammer saved Total War though.
@@mogwaiman6048 Whut? Total War was renowned since the dawn of PC Gaming. Never even heard Warhammer Fantasy Battles before it although Warcraft is damned popular. WFB is already dead, if not for Total War. Then your Age of Shitmar is never popular though, it was a Warhammer 40k ugly bastard son that born out of incest out of a dead corpse of WFB.
@@mogwaiman6048 Warhammer was a great addition to the Total War series, but it did not ''save'' it.
@@wallhackergotdammit didn't save. Definitely bought the reputation for the series back a little bit. Rome 2 was a disaster at launch
@@enricomugoy5869 AoS has been trending upward since 2015. It didn't need any outside help
I really apreciate your effort in making These Videos.
Slayers in a Nutshell: *WITNESS ME!!!!*
all the other dwarves: WITNESS HIM!!
Glorious.......
🔥🔥🔥🔥FOR GRiMNiR BROTHERS!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I recruited slayers as emergency unit yesterday and used them to guard flank of my artillery. Looked away for a minute - all slayers already dead. They are really good at their job (dying lol). I was going to disband right after battle anyway.
Gotrek, Dwarf to angry to die. even the end of the world didnt kill him
At the start, I imagined the Doomslayer as a Dwarf but in the end I think it is Kratos who best matches as a Dwarf slayer.
The early Daemon Slayers definitely had Kratos vibes, and basically did the same thing.
Just discovered this channel, motherf***** you just made me download and buy almost all DLC of WTW2 my social life is ruined for the next year. Never seen such a quality channel about Warhammer lore (bright idea to make cinematics/saved battles from the game). Thank you for your work, sincirely !
Wow man thank you! Reading this makes all the work worth it. 😃 Have fun Hugo! TW>Warhammer (I & II) are great games!
@@TheBookofChoyer Pleased you read my comment ! Keep going on :) hf too
@@hugoping7666 how did it go ? 😃
Did you enjoy playing Total War Warhammer ? 😊
@@jchea1764 haha one of the best fkin games ever (accounting all the previous TW opuses) 🙂
Dwarf: takes slayer's oath
Slayer King: *SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH?*
yes...that's why I'm here
Ahhh the slayers. The most badass dwarfs of the entire fantasy genre! looking forward to your video on Gotrek ;)
Magnificent. Never knew these bad boys had such a deep and rich history, I always assumed the CA was too lazy to give the slayers different models, now I understand. Thank you for this video.
Gotrek took the slayer oath because he was not at home when his wife and daughter were killed in the aftermath of a greenskin attack. And his killing of the dwarf lord and his family that was supposed to protect the village.
Thanks for pointing that out! 🙏
Yup, I was confused when he said "Nobody knows why"
And Snorri Nosebiter took the oath because it's implied that he was meant to be on guard duty protecting that village but went on and got drunk instead, returning to find corpses.
@@RayvenQ its actually worse then that, now this is a rather big SPOILER so ignore it if you want to read the book.
Snorri just came back from the failed expedition to find Karak Dum and thought Gotrel had died so he had to inform his wife, logically he ended up drinking to find his courage.
After getting really drunk he started a brawl with the rangers who were suppose to patrol the area, beating them up so badly they were unable to do their duty.
When the goblins destroyed the village he went in looking for survivors, found Gotreks daughter death and accidently killed his wife having confused her for a enemy because of the smoke and still being drunk.
In short Snorri is the reason Gotrek became a Slayer
also his ax belongs to Grungi dwarven God.
This is seriously one of the best channels on TH-cam, showing that quality over quantity always wins!
My favorite warriors in warhammer lore. I hope they rework Ungrim, to make him the mighty warrior he is supposed to be.
A truely great video and the channel itself is one of the best.
Can't wait for the video of Gotrek.
I'm in a progress of reading war of vengeance trilogy and have read gotrek&felix&the sundering so nothing new to me here really, but i think the video is very well made!
That means a lot. Thank you my friend! 😃
7:10 "I fear there is no foe worthy of my death." - Ungrim Ironfist, Slayer King.
Doesn't Queek Headtaker kill him though? Or was it another Chaos being?
no, headtaker was belegar i think, ungrim does die in the Endtimes, but he basically goes nuclear against a chaos army to allow the rest of Karl Franz men to escape
@@lolkittensnya3717 Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification.
@@lolkittensnya3717 Headtaker kills Belegar's brother. And yes Ungrim becomes these avatar of fire, becomes so enraged that he explodes like a nuke, destroying half of the chaos horde in one go.
I'd say that's a suitable death for a slayer king
We do not speak of End Times lore.
So when a dwarf has a son, they let him went to battle and maybe killed in action while they themself feel so sad they took an oath to find death.
Grim dark lore in deed
.
The editing and production of these videos is incredible!
@3:10, did that dwarf have a one-piece tattoo?
Kazuk Kazukite!!! You made the Dawii ancestors proud!
that is the most american Karaz-a-Karak pronounciation ever
I have watched several campaigns in warhammer 2 and it seems no matter the player or factions being played, and even the AI for that matter, will rarely, if ever attack the dwarves, the dwarves are simply extremely dangerous and it takes a great deal of time, units, and resources to even make a dent in their armies and territories, success is still extremely difficult and never guaranteed. I'm glad, I like the dwarfs.
I was supposed to start a new Chaos campaign, damn you! Oh well, Ungrim it is ;)
Slayer: *Sworn that they will die to the strongest of foe*
*Got killed by a stray friendly Quallerer crossbow bolt*
Welcome people that went here after hearing that Ungrim Ironfist is back in the old world.
I thought Gotrek took his oath because his wife was killed by snorri accidentally :/
I am I the only one who noticed that the guy giving the speech at the beginning is the same guy who did the Roman general voices in Rome 2?
Didnt know the dead Romans from Rome2 got reincarnated into dwarves.lmaoo
Tradition is simutaneously the thing preserving the Dawi against their foes and holding them back from progressing forward
Hoping for Malakai Makaisson, the slayer engineer, for the next dwarf LL in the Christmas lord pack.
3:07 Whitebeard Pirates tattoo :D
I laugh at how no american can say Fyrskar, or even agree on the pronunciation.
Youd think all the slayers would just make a break for the realm of chaos.
I think the idea is to find an *honourable* matchup for your death, so newly-minted Slayers go after minor monsters rather than looking for creatures they flat-out KNOW will curbstomp them without even thinking about it.
Or it could just be that Dwarfs are incapable of fighting to lose. o _o
Some of the long lived Slayers start to believe that there shame is so great that they must follow Grimnir on his path north to the Chaos Wastes.
The Slayer Oath is really nuanced in the most bleak way though because they're supposed to die in battle but they're also forbidden from committing suicide. They can't just throw themselves in knowing 100% it's unwinnable and will have them killed because it'll be questioned after their death. They at least need to go into something where they know they can kill lots or leave a nasty mark to show that they tried their best and went down fighting etc.
Chaos Aspiring Champion: Small number, heavy armor makes it too slow, unless magic attack
Slayers: COME HERE YOU CHAOS CAN! LEMME JUMP AT YOU TEN FEET AWAY
Ungrim went out like a champ in the End Times. I don't play TW, but I still paint and play Warhammer 8th on the tabletop. My Dwarf throng is themed from Karak-Kadrin and Ungrim is at it's head.
Dwarves are such a compelling race, they are like men but even more so in some aspects
That's a fucking Dragonball in his axe head at around 3:00
you got the best damned reading voice ive ever heard need to go pro with it if you havent
Ive found that there is actually a loophole that a Slayer can take to escape his oath, and Grimmnir is the one who showed me.
It was during the end times, when Gotrek was killed by his war god, at that point Gotrek had satisfied his oath as a slayer, he found a worthy
opponent and died in battle.
When he was resurrected, he was an innocent dwarf. It was after Grimmnir offered him his doom that the loophole was exposed.
If an innocent dwarf takes up a Slayers doom, then that Slayer is free from his oath.
Gotrek is cool and all but ungrim would oust the fool outright
Krieger: well i must say i'm a uge fan squat
So they are like the grey wardens from dragonage
Blaah, stuntues..... What ya gonna do?
What theme is that that started playing when Gotrek Gurnisson was introduced? It's freaking awesome!
Fun Fact: Ungrim Ironfist has a massive grudge against Gotrek Gurnisson thanks to the Queen of Karak Kadrin ;) . (Source: Road of Skulls)
This will be the greatest video you'll ever make. For honor! For Grimnir!
Dwarves are honey badgers
Grimnirs axe thirsts
always amazing videos!! Thank you!
Kill everything without a beard!!!
Slayers aren't necessarily great fighters. Any dwarf can become a Slayer. _Any dwarf._ An accountant who made a grievous error in his bookkeeping could take the Slayer Oath. It is shame, not martial prowess that makes a dwarf become a Slayer.
"It does not matter where he shaves his head and takes the oath; he is a Slayer when it is done." Borek Forkbeard, speaking on the nature of Slayers to Felix Jager, and of Gotrek Gurnisson in particular; from the novel Dragonslayer, by William King.
Just started reading The First Omnibus, and this comes out the same day.. it's a good day
Question organic creature what song did you use around the 5:15 mark cuz I like to know I really like it
One big rule for the slayers is never ask why they joined. They do not like being reminded of their one big failure that cost them everything.
love the slayer aesthetic. obviously the biggest inspiration for the fyreslayers in aos. love them too
It's kind of sad how his model in TW doesn't really do him justice. Dies too easily. He's a slayer, whole armies should fall beneath his axe.
Aye and same for Grimgor. They should really revisit WH1 lords sometime.
@@khelgarironfist3301 moods... there are some mood that make justice to the lore even if that break the game...
I wonder what made Bardin take up his slayer oath
Bardin as a slayer isn't cannon in the lore, because they made changments in the game to offer more style of gameplay. So there is no reason for Bardin to have taken the slayer's oath, but we can imagine one (Be friend with a woot-elgi, see his friends dying before him, didin't manage to take Karak Azgharaz back in the first game, being capture by skavens...) ;-)
from the dialogue blerbs in the game, i would hazard a guess is that he fell asleep on watch and one of the enemies of the dawi got into the hold, perhaps bardin took them down before they did any damage, but he knows. consider bardins reaction to kruber dozing off, and kerillians chat about not wanting to go home.
@@lolkittensnya3717 I didin't play enough so I've never heard that line before, but yes it's a possibility.
This really makes me want to run a dwarf roleplay campaign in total war lol another great video!
Dwarven-folk are the best race in Warhammer Fantasy.
i always love the idea of the slayers, it`s a chame that gameworshop eliminate them in age of sigmar
3:05 didnt know that whitebeard had slayers on his crew
Dwarves I can like. Cool guys.
MajorKill brought me here. This is freakin awesome
Gotrek is my man! Great to see other impressive slayers too.
They are the night's watch but more badass
Do you use any graphics/reskin mod? It looks like your units don't always exactly look like the base models. Great video, keep it up!
That looked like Dryrain's reskin Mod with Soul's Faction Officer Mod.
@@corith4535 thanks dude, I'll check it out!
Yes, I have put together the combination of mods I use. You can check it out here: thebookofchoyer.com/community/
So whenever they lose someone they love or a family member, they take the Slayers oath? It's no wonder the Dwarves are a dying race...
ADD ALL GREENSKINS TO THE BOOK OF GRUDGES.
Do a vid on dread saurians and all the beasts of the lizardmen 🐊🦖🐉
I would be very upset if the opening of that video doesn't include the Jurassic Park theme song
@@WolfofPride yes!!🦖
This is so awesome, we want more like this
So when a dwarf gets depressed he becomes a Klingon
I must fulfill my slayer oath
oyeah the bois are here.
What song is playing at around 4:30 - 6:00?
'Dwarf regiments have been known to defeat regiments numerous times their size, driven by determination and pride in their abilities and the unstoppable might of corners' 0:20
You forgot our best boi bardin
