I kinda love that he's matched up against Kugath. It makes perfect sense that he would have a grudge against the embodiment of disease and decay, and that the Plaguefather would have an especial interest in destroying a man whose origin story is him not being able to catch a disease.
It was very epic. As the two armies crawled toward each other before slamming into each other with the momentum and velocity of cat taking a nap on a pillow. The zombies proceeded to miss 20 attacks in a row and when they did hit the nurgle demon healed in half a second. The demons tore through hundreds of zombies only for thousands more of zombies to have risen. Nurglite furies and fell bats head butted each other gently in the air taking a casualty from old age occasionally. Helman ghort dodging khugaths nurlgings with his blistering 24 speed. While casting fell magics to force khugath to use up 5% of his regeneration cap.
I've always liked Ghorst as a character because his whole motivation is so understandable. It wasn't lust for power or fear of death that made him seek the dark arts, it was grief. When you do the Liber Noctis quest, he talks to his brothers to begin, assuring them that he will return them to life, truly. His entire ethos is "death is bogus, we're reversing it" and it's refreshing. Mannfred would torture you because he needs you to fear him. Kemmler would torture you because he is insane. Vlad would torture you because you disobeyed him. Ghorst doesn't care. He's on his way to cure death forever and if you get caught in the crossfire, well, he'll put you back together when he figures the whole thing out.
And that’s the necromancer arch I can get behind, not some mad man driven solely on power or wanting to snort the finest dark arts. No this is a man driven solely on the pure grief of not being there for his family at their time of need he said “Fuck death I’m fixing this”.
He reminds me of Pinwheel from Dark Souls. But unlike Helman, he straight up stole the knowledge of necromancy from the God of Death and got cursed for it, alongside his wife and child
"Helman was a farmer who lived in Sylvania" That sums pretty much of his origins, in there, you either become a living corpse or an inmortal sin against nature and having multiple non consensual encounters with inquisitors which end up with one of them paying with its lives
“He already knew Veterinary medicine, and aren’t humans just bipedal horses?” This made me laugh, but also reminds me of the Discworld book “Feet of Clay”. When the leader the city is poisoned, guard commander Vimes calls in a racing horse vet to take care of him. Because if a human patient dies it is sad, but if a racing horse dies the owner has lost hundreds of dollars and angry mobsters might be after you for ruining their sports betting operation. The Vet is required to produce results.
Reminds me of this one scene from "Boardwalk Empire" where a detective tries to bring a potential witness to a doctor, but his only option is the town dentist. There's this kinda funny scene where the dentist brings out some cocaine to revitalize the patient. Detective: Why are you putting it in his mouth? Dentist: That's the only way I know how to do it!
Over the years Ghorst has really found a special place in my heart. I understand some people were upset we didn’t get some other generic Carstein and hell I was at the start but now game 3 is out I really do appreciate just a bloke who is very upset that his family died. It’s not some over the top guy who can 1 v 100 the greatest fighters it’s just a man who’s sick of people dying. In a world of god like heroes, and everything in between it’s nice just having Ghorst.
-Vlad is what you get if a Dungeon Master is the traditional sort: mimics the living aristocracy, lots of vampire court politics, and a vampire lord just sympathetic enough that the players might actually have a debate about the need to kill him. -Mannfred is what you get if a Dungeon Master is more direct: sure, he's capable, but nobody is going to like him, and defeating him by exploiting his arrogance is always satisfying...unless the players don't realize he's a coward at heart, and let him fly off to plan his vengeance, in which case the players are DEFINITELY going to regret underestimating him as much as he did them. -Ghorst is what you get if a Dungeon Master is "realistic:" why yes, why WOULD a necromancer bother with something exotic, like zombie dragons and giant wrecking ball bats, when he can probably do just as well with an unending mob of zombies? Heck, he might even do BETTER with zombies, if that's all he decides to focus on! In fact, why even have a secret cabal of skilled necromancers, when you can just recruit rookie wizards by the dozen and teach them the Zombie Arts?
Which would you rather fight: - 1 bigass zombie dragon? - 20 powerful vampires? - 100,000 zombies? Even if they're easier to fight, you'll collapse from exhaustion long before you kill even a 200.
Even as someone who doesn't play this game, your videos are a wonderful introduction to the universe. Also bonus points for the Edgar Allen Poe parody.
Ghorst is legit my favorite vampire character. I love it when tier 1 units can be scary as hell. My only sadness is that the Vamp Counts don't have *any* ranged units besides the Von Carstein ones which kiiiinda suck with mobs of zombles.
Grom: Finally...a worthy opponent! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY! edit: I've found Vamp Counts lack of ranged units isn't that big an issue. Between Dogs, Bats, Vargheists, and some of the nastiest cavalry in a game where Bretonnia is a thing, the opponents won't have ranged units either.
If you get sneaksy enough you can Lahmian your way into good favor with a faction that does have ranged units, and hire from outposts in their towns. My favorite is Beastmen, as their tiny t1 archers fit perfectly w the theme of VCounts. And they dont cost upkeep because Beastmen. Pure degeneracy
@@JarmamStuff I love to ally Druchii as Vampire Counts/Coast. Not only does the color palette synergize, but the rosters complement themself quite neatly. Undead hordes with 4 units of Dark Elves sitting around? Works great.
Fun fact: the whole 'Komodo Dragons use septic bites for hunting' thing, has been debunked, as it's been found they actually have proper venom glands. Not to say they don't probably have a lot of bacteria in their mouth, but it's probably as much a factor as it wouldn've been for T.Rex: i.e. none. Anywho, this was a fun vid, perfect for Halloween and doubly so for the horror bit you did with the meeting of Ghorst and Mannfred. Looking forward to Kroq-gar, he was actually my first proper campaign back in 2!
Another fun fact about them: they are expert swimmers and among their original prey were a now extinct species of dwarf elephants. Also monitor lizards in general are very smart, doing equal to birds or dogs in some intelligence tests. Lastly they are the largest species which is known to reproduce pathenogenicly at least facultativly, as a female komodo layed fertile eggs by herself.
Fun fact- they are actually Australian animals who moved to Indonesia and when the old Australian ecosystem collapsed they went extinct there along with their relative (not ancestor) megalania but survived in the Indonesian islands due to lack of large mammalian competition.
I can confirm that ghorst has one of the easiest starts in IE. There are a couple skaven settlements near his starting location, and combined with a skaven army that is in one of the towns, you can easily get massive casualties in one of your first engagements. Pretty sure I lost almost 3/4 of my army in that one battle. So a few turns later, I had a terrorgheist in my army, which accounted for a decent portion of army upkeep since zombies are so cheap. Just keep a couple of terrorgheists in your army to dogpile any large entities or lords after the fight starts.
You forgot to mention that Ghorst's unique skill line gives even FURTHER bonuses to Zombies, including immunity to contact effects-so they can't be poisoned, frostbitten or set on fire and have their regeneration hampered- AND Ravenous Dead which grants them-even MORE- healing in melee. :D
I was the only guy I'm aware of whose favorite lord was helman ghorst in wh2. I must say this video is everything I could have hoped to find as I march my zomboys on an unfortunate band of high elves.
I dont even play this game- I'm terrible at strategy games, I just like these videos- but my love of zombies and the description of his "get all your dudes and send them at the other guys" playstyle has piqued my interest.
I find Cathay is your best Ally, great money maker, and allows you to hire Ranged Units. You can trade with Zhao Ming super early. If you Grind the Lahmian Blood Line to level 2 you get +30 relations with Cathay and Empire. This can get you to an early Defensive alliance with Zhao (T20s). Now you can build an Outpost and start hiring ranged units. If you want to rush the alliance, send an army to deal with the dissenter lords holding the city next to Zhao and gift him the city. Requires you to hire a Master Necromancer on turn one or two and start building an army and requires trespass unless you wait for military access from Zhao but by then its likely Zhao has gotten the city back himself. Gifting him a Captial city blows away any trespass negatives.
How normal people discover Helman: "accidentally wiping out a Legendary Lord" How i discovered Helman, in the worse way possible. "VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE EVENT, 4 DOOMSTACKS IN MIDDLE OF MY TRETCH CRAVENTAIL Immortal Empires run." Now hes my primary enemy every run.
A Mortis Engine is the best single starting unit a army can have, even better than a necrofex. The ogres are the only race with armies that are not heavily damaged by it.
Your jokes are getting better and better with each one of these. If I wasn't already convinced that my potato PC could actually run TWW3 I would give it a go and enjoy all of these characters as they have been hilariously described. Keep up the good work!
Instead of just parking Ghorst NEAR the frontlines, you could also ride his corpse cart into melee and use its Mortis Engine effect. In other words, you start off with two Mortis Engines, which are only made better through one of Ghorst's skills that doubles the effect's effective range...That is if the tooltip is to be trusted, unlike the Balefire Corpse Carts. Heavy on the lore, light on the gameplay this time around.
@@codybonds Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Mortis Engine effects changed to only kick in when you are in melee? ...But yes, he does get sniped. In general, the target priorities for the AI have been surprising.

Ghorst himself is a monster in slowly draining everything around him with the relinquary damage. It just takes a while but you can easily take ouy whole stacks with him.
"Ghorst is frankly useless at dealing damage" My brother in Christ, have you heard of Wind of Death and all the stuff he has to lower the cost? One of the best damage spells period.
I haven't played Total Warhammer- I know, I'm a poser- but I _have_ played the Warhammer mod for Mount & Blade, _Warsword Conquest_ Wind of Death is a BRUTAL spell in that game. Just "hey, that spot over there? Nothing in it is alive anymore."
And once you have a necromancer, you can summon even more zombies for free. A few super saiyan bat's for back attack and you are good to go. Perfect campaign for haloween.
Always enjoy the Noob's Guide videos, especially the ones for TWWH3. Keep up the great work, Cody! Do you plan on making a Noob's Guide to Festus the Leechlord?
I'm not mad we got Helman Ghorst, but I would've liked to see Konrad von Carstein or The Red Duke be added to the game. Luckily we have mods to add them as playable lords, but I hope CA in the future adds those two in officially.
The monster mash? You mean the Mannfred Mash! (Not to be confused with Vlad's Sylvanian Twist.) The Mannfred Mash is an actual song on TH-cam, I recommend it.
fast fact: komodo dragon's mouths are supprisingly clean, its actually that their teeth are serrated. the serrated teeth cause jagged wounds that do not heal quickly usually on the creatures leg that they are dragging through dirt and mud this is how the bite gets infected
Herman can increase the healing cap for zombies to insane levels. To put that in perspective, in my last campaign my zombies had a healing cap increase over 1000%. Until the cap is reached, one group of zombies has about 1.5 *million* HP to tank damage.
It's pity that they alr fixed the regen cap bug. Fortunately i have conquered the whole TW III map with just zombie and corpse, each army only cost 2k cost and i got 50 lords on my pocket before the patch up haha.
Ran into the dwarfs that start out to the southwest in the mountains on the other side of the guild from Ghorst. I was late game with no upgraded zombies because I had not needed them. I ran into those dwarfs I can't remember their name right off, but he was riding a forge and was unbreakable. I killed or routed off his entire army and only he was left. He AOEd my entire army down to dust and smacked me into the dirt on verry hard difficulty. I literally could not figure out how to kill him and ended up giving up on that fight lol.
By this time just have a couple of the anti-large cheap skellies and they eventually do the job on fast forward as long as you can save some magic for healing.
Umm question, was it just me that has your channel turn into an entire ad for tesla? Like all your posts were from tesla, all your videos were private and if you tried to go to your channel it would be a tesla page with a tesla stream

Ghoooorst! The one man zombie apocalypse is here, thanks for the great vid!
Just finished his campaign last week! Contrary to what the tooltip says, he's actually not immune to plagues however (not the nurglish ones at least)
Sounds like a bug to me
Herman can increase the healing cap for zombies to insane levels. To put that in perspective, in my last campaign my zombies had a healing cap increase over 1000%. Until the cap is reached, one group of zombies has about 1.5 *million* HP to tank damage.
Bruh, "like a CA employee, apparently" has me sputtering here
Always liked Helman, especially his motivation!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who called him mayonnaise. It was the only thing I think of with him anymore
The algorithm has blessed me with your channel
Praise the omnissiah
Welcome! There’s plenty more where this came from.
It's pity that they alr fixed the regen cap bug. Fortunately i have conquered the whole TW III map with just zombie and corpse, each army only cost 2k cost and i got 50 lords on my pocket before the patch up haha.
We rocking up with horde and not stoppin anymore!
This lore story made my day lol
Yay channels back!
Ran into the dwarfs that start out to the southwest in the mountains on the other side of the guild from Ghorst. I was late game with no upgraded zombies because I had not needed them. I ran into those dwarfs I can't remember their name right off, but he was riding a forge and was unbreakable. I killed or routed off his entire army and only he was left. He AOEd my entire army down to dust and smacked me into the dirt on verry hard difficulty. I literally could not figure out how to kill him and ended up giving up on that fight lol.
By this time just have a couple of the anti-large cheap skellies and they eventually do the job on fast forward as long as you can save some magic for healing.
I'm glad Ghorst finally found his day in the moon.
I like how he's infamous and yet no one knows how broken he is
I absolutely the poem in the middle ❤
This was great! I've really enjoyed playing Ghorst in TW:WH3 and hope the other lords get such well themed reworks.
Nice ghoulish tale M. Bonds
Though I am sad that I didn't hear many innuendos in this video.
ITS YA BOII BOBBY B WITH THE SKINNY P
I do enjoy that Ghorst drives his chariot at the ice cold speed of a GTA San Andreas lowrider
will you be reviewing woman king??
1:30 and just like that Cody Bonds lost any CA partnership he may have had lmao. On the real though, good joke it made me burst out laughing.
Man, I love these videos and I don't even play
If you play "Closing Time" at a house party, you forfeit your home ownership and I get to give you a swirlie lmao.
Anyway, as mexican, something tells me I'm going to enjoy Kroq-Gar's video, which happens to be my fav Warhammer character .
Umm question, was it just me that has your channel turn into an entire ad for tesla? Like all your posts were from tesla, all your videos were private and if you tried to go to your channel it would be a tesla page with a tesla stream
Yep. It was hijacked. I’m posting a video explaining what happened later today.
@@codybonds oh facts I was so confused and was worried something like that had happened. Thanks so much for the response. I was more worried that one of my favorite youtubers had just quit. Best of luck with future videos and I look forward to the next one!
Praise Anub, another guide
Im sure the lore is paraphrased a lot...but it honestly sounds pretty cute
I take great pride in making the sure the lore is true to the character. Though admittedly it’s not always accurate.
Happy Halloween!
Best lord
