Ah yes...Starscream Von Carstein. How I missed you not...
This actually deserves more likes.
@@matthewcoster5535 Why? Because you're an actual babybrain mahchild who actually relates to TWANSFOWMEWZ REFWENSES XDDD?
Mannfred was originally brought back at castle Drakenhof by a necromancer that had dragged Mannfred's bones out of the swamp. The necromancer was going to sacrifice a maiden to ressurect Mannfred, but then Gotrek and Felix showed up. Felix is annoyed, so Gotrek sliced the necromancer in half, but the ritual was powered by the necromancers own blood instead of the maidens. Mannfred is ressurected and stands naked in front of a dwarf slayer with a magical weapon. So he turns to mist and hides until Gotrek and Felix leaves.
"So he turns to mist and hides until Gotrek and Felix leaves."
The sheer amount of blue balls that statement gives me would be enough to kill a Greater demon of Slaanesh
As soon as I was in need of some more lore, you came to my aid, yet again :D
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao pimp daddy arch always delivers
End times? What's that? Sounds like complete fiction to me. Probably never happened.
+Reichtangle Sounds about right. Chaos gods make shit up all the time.
Sagrotan Tzeentch is not so cruel in truth the end times was the work of the 5th chaos God Matt ward
was it really matt ward that did that?
Or his brother, i dunno. GW was worried it wouldn't sell well, so they "spiced it up" quite a lot.
Darth Panzer If only...
Ah Mannfred, the Darth Malak of the Vampire Counts. So cunning, so highly esteemed, and yet primarily damages his own side. A genius savant, he may know Necromancy like few others, but he is also more than a bit of an idiot. He has a gift for sabotaging his own best interests via untimely backstabbing and impulsive decisions. Who else could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, literally days before Vlad brought the Empire under the Von Carsteins' rule? Who else could eliminate most of his own bloodline, only to realize "oh shit, I'm running things by myself and have no lieutenants to back me up?" Who else could raise a legion of zombies and think "yep, the Empire and the Dwarfs will never be able to deal with these!" Pompous twit.
Your informative (as usual) and entertaining (as always) video was awesome! That said, I wanted to add a bit to your lore, since I love this stuff. First off, it's "Castle Dra-ken-hof." Three syllables.
Secondly, the Liber Mortis is most definitely NOT something from the hand of a Morrite. During the Black Death and Skaven invasion of the Empire, one Prince Vladimir (not the most cunning alias, but no one knew who Vlad was at that time) came to Sylvania and spoke to it's ruler, Frederick van Hal. He brought him a copy of the books of Nagash. Now Nagash's works are too advanced for almost any Necromancer to use, and only the most skilled can even understand them. Fortunately, with Vlad(imir)'s help, van Hal became exactly that. He then distilled the Nine books into one volume he called the "Liber Mortis." For a true master like Wsoran or Arkhan, this was "Necromancy for Dummies," but for anyone else it was one of the greatest works of Necromancy ever written. The Sigmarites kept a copy when they tried to stamp out the book's distribution, which is how brave Kurt III had such a thing handy.
Thirdly, Mannfred's resurrection is a lot more palatable in the original Gotrek and Felix. A Necromancer named Schtillman was in the midst of the ritual to revive Mannfred. He had reached the part where he had to sacrifice a life (incidentally, the girl he chose for his victim would become Ariette Von Carstein not long afterwards) when Gotrek killed the bastard. Unfortunately, that just meant Schtillman was the sacrifice and Mannfred was restored. The story makes a lot more sense that way.
Thanks for the video, and for hearing me out! (If you didn't hear me out, please disregard this message...which you already did, since you didn't hear me out.)
lol, yeah minus that Malak is blad from having scalp burns,
I prefer the story in the 5th edition Undead army book about Manfred's revival which was delivered by a necromancer servant who's family had been rounding up all of Manfred's severed body parts & some what intact corpse and then performing a specific ritual to revive him at drakenhof castle which was crash by Gotrek & Felix, killing the necromancer and freeing the young virgin girl from being sacrificed which was the final part of the ritual needed, they did not how ever stop the resurrection of Manfred as all the ritual needed to finish working was virgin blood never specifying that it needed to be from a woman and the poor necromancer had died on the ritual circle and you can see where this is going but spoilers no Gotrek doesn't get to kill Manfred in this short story
Note:Annoying the empire sufficiently that you unite all of them against you:Extremely bad idea. I didn't think even a vampire could underestimate to this extent.
The Blood Dragon vampire faction believed that they could kill a dragon in single combat.
If only this could be the fate of the halflings, then the Empire would suddenly become a much better place.
"A couple of hundred men, not something you storm a city with"
Ahem, King Carlus Rex of Sweden....
*Pushes up glasses* Well actually!
Imagine Vlad Von Carstein trying to use magic on a Slann. Imagine that one sided nonsense.
Good sir I truly can't explain just how awesome and useful your Warhammer lore, reviews and other videos you post! Ive been a pretty avid Warhammer fan for the past 15 years, somewhere around that, and now am 25 and kinda getting back into Warhammer again and I cant begin to tell you how caught up and informed I am now thanks to your videos. Not only that but the way you make your videos has truly peaked my families interest making the hobby not only my own but as I said a family thing and it has literally been too awesome. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to a utterly awesome and fantastic universe that is Warhammer.
I expect something big for the 30k mark, Arch. Also, do have a lore video for Vlad?
sadly i am lost on a sandy and oddly windy Island som nothing special :-(
+Arch Warhammer YEP aRCH, YOU THE BOSS MAN, sorry capslock
Manfred sounds like how the real life medieval lords were; dumb, with moments of brilliance.
More so brilliance with days of utter idiocy
Though to be fair, Manfred at least has a plausible excuse for his fots of idiocy - according to lore, vampirism twists the mind more and more with time.
my bones are ready
Happy 30k sub Arch
I thought Manfred cut off Felix's hands but didn't kill him.
That is a possability
***** lol
Arch, for a TW fan who had no idea about Warhammer lore you my friend are a savior! I enjoy these very informative videos and i find myself growing very fond of warhammer lore! Thanks!!!
P.S. Bring the cool backround music back! xD
+TaVo I second this. Felt like something was missing and I had to rewatch 5 times until I noticed a disturbing lack of Kevin MacLeods Anamalie. ^^
Bring Backround music back or RIOT xD
hope one day we see arch making a video about all the bullshit in the end times
+klo45pl I support this, I want to hear from him why is end times so shitty. Because I don't know anything about it.
+SuperSonyer and Age of Sigmar... hearing this from Arch sounds like a lot of fun :D
+klo45pl it's ALL a huge pile of typical-fanfic-writer shit. That's all you need to know about it.
pretty sure he already did that.
+SuperSonyer Short version? It did three really lousy things.
1. It killed a wonderful fantasy universe.
2. It replaced it with a boring fantasy universe.
3. It did so through a terribly written series of events, mostly built off of deus ex machinas and retcons. So many, many retcons. Characters had their personalities shift. History was re-written, and people made choices that made zero sense in light of who they are.
If you are familiar with his previous work, you will be able to guess one of the key writers involved via his trademark style...
Hey Arch, Good news you are going to get a pre realease copy of Warhammer: Total War. They said it on Stream!
And then dwarves and vampire counts made an alliance.
Good work Arch, love your content big man.
Very good video, as always! Keep up the good work!
Prayers always Arch you are the man
8:06 looks like we found Manfred’s goth phase
I am a bit confused now, because in Steven Saviles books it is written that Felix Mann survives Manfreds assault (or to be precise, Manfred just doesnt bother killing him). Plus he cant have taken Nagashs book, because several years later, the next grand theogonist uses that very book to drive Manfred off Altdorfs walls (book 3). Is that some kind of fluff-thing, where the author goes against the official lore by game workshop or your mistake?
Though its not that important, to be honest, but im curious about wether or not Saviles books are authentic.^^"
Manfred: "I wanna be the first vampire emperor!" God emperor of mankind: "hold my beer ya rookie. and bring me more psykers so I can devour their souls to feed my hunger!"
I don't think this is a good representation of Mannfred, he was more cunning, backstabbing,
an excellent spellcaster(the best of the Vampire Counts) and more machiavellian then Vlad. I love Vlad to, but he was more of an inspiring and charismatic leader while Mannfred was the perfect example of how a Vampire should be and act. I don't understand why plebs in the comments hate Mannfred, he's one of the greatest characters in Warhammer fantasy.
Can't believe there's 0 dislikes when you opened up the video with "Mannfred is a shitty version of Vlad". Personally I find the vampire counts to be on par with like the dark eldar in terms of just needless grimdark so I'm not a huge fan of them, but I'd have to imagine that you certainly pissed off some emo neckbeard by insulting his favorite character somewhere lol
+Lincoln E Here's the thing: after the end times, NOBODY likes manfred. The cry-baby is responsible for chaos winning in those books. Soooo ... yeah. Whatever fanbase he might have had, after the end-times the only thing any warhammer fan wants is to see him die in a prolonged and painfull fashion that would make slaneesh itself cringe and say "maybe, just maybe don't go THAT far".
Honestly the Vampire Counts aren't that bad compared to the Dark Eldar considering the fact that they are vampires and necromancers, being Grim and Dark is kinda a given while the Dark Eldar were so kinky that actually created a Chaos God through the sheer amount of Orgies and Torture session they were having and after they lost their empire to the chaos they decided to keep having fucking Orgies and Torturing people
That was only in 40k, slaneesh wasen't created like that in warhammer fantasy.
Arch, I asked some questions in the most recent total war stream - vampire counts. You may be able to get an early copy if you get in touch with them via twitter. :)
Feh. Hate their armor. "I AM A VAMPIRE I DRESS UP IN WINGED BATTY SUITS OF BLACK AND RED SO YOU KNOW I AM A VAMPIRE AND I AM A BAD GUY LOOK HOW BAD-GUY MY ARMOR IS" like everybody has to dress their part exactly
I think it's more like a cultural thing, like how indians wear their stupid shit, etc
better than what the shitty empire looks
Dwarfurious skyrim's Vampires have that problem too
Ger Vang Saying DWARVES wear spike covered black death armor like they're trying to show off their alignment ?
Ger Vang
Well Armor for the dwarfs yes. Elves wear dresses.
There should be TV documentaries like this , unlike what we have now these series make one watch in "awe" all those 24 minutes.
Thanks my friend for the good story
I mean... Manfred allegedly got hold of the ring that Vlad abused the fuck out of... so why didn't he just... you know... fucking wear it?
im assuming being cut into many tiny bits by one of the most powerful swords in the world would mean it would take a little while
add onto that the fact his body parts were hid all across sylvania he couldnt exactly just pull his body back together through an entire country's worth of dirt
Nice video !
Do you have a plan to do a Vlad lore video?
Arch I can confirm Reiksguard and Motors for the Empire Army, thanks to the new videos Lionheart put out
Did we have a lore video on vlad yet ?
+SnowToad i dont think so i hope there will be one though
hey, Arch! firstly, you are my greatest source of both lore for the fantasy side of warhammer and laughs!!! I was wondering, could you perhaps do a video on the Witch Hunter, from weapons to lore (obviously) snd most notable members and your opinion on how they are in the pre-"Age of Failmar" tabletop setting?
keep the laughs and lore going, good buddy! 10-4!!
i could of sworn arch had a vlad von carstein video but i cant find it ?
During the Storm of Chaos or just after there was a wonderfully writen event where a resurrected Mannfred gathered his horded and marched into an Empire he expected to crippled after fighting off Chaos, only to be confronted by a huge joint force and in a very Mannfred move just decided 'sod it, I can live for ever I'll just come back when there's a week Emperor. How is this blood tree nonsence meant to fit with that?
Say: Einstein
Now say: Carstein
hey arch is there a possibly that we can see a vlad lore video?
I miss Warhammer fantasy series. Make some more please.
Why didn't Felix destroy the ring (Lord of the Rings music plays) and the book?
he didnt know what they were
the church told him to steal something from a sylvanian noble he didnt ask question and when he never got paid he just took the fancy book with him
Or more surprisingly, why did Mannfred not use the ring after getting it from Felix?
Jordan Parkhurst he probably did not know what it was or how to use it.
really a tree crazy ... there was a story about some creepy Igor like guys resurrecting him in some Gotrek and Felix stuff ... Master Master we found all your pieces together and with the help of that maiden .... well ... put the treepipe that is hillarious ...
Yer, that was even in one of the old Undead Army Books so prity much cannon. Sounds like this silly tree story just ignored the chomped into many pieces thing.
So why don't they use the Liber Mortis every time a necromancer pops up? Sounds like an auto-win.
I suspect that the book has enough risks of its own that using it is an act of desperation rather than something to be done casually. That would also explain why there aren't a bunch of copies of the book, and would also fit with the dangerous nature of magic in the Warhammer universe.
Ben Colecliffe well this is a book made to counter Nagash's books of necromancy so it would stand to reason that it takes a large amount of warp energy, however the book dose seem to have a limit on how many bodies you can send back into the ground.
Wasn't Manfred brought back in the Gotrek and Felix series? I could be wrong since I haven't read yet (shame on me I know), but I thought I heard that he was.
I'm surprised the entire dwarven army didn't drown in the swamp
I'd love to shout heresy and run into battle with many space marines, but I forgot that this is Fantasy. So instead I'll sacrifice my entire skavens just to get one glowing stone.
I know this is not fitting to the "normal" Warhammer Lore, but do you have Information about the Tau normal Life? So like are they forming families or do they live their life solo. So just what a normal day looks like for a Tau not fighting in the war (especially for Fire-Cast Tau).
I love the Tau :) and would be happy about knowing more about them.
Steven Saviles Vampire wars series is still my second favorite warhammer fantasy just after Malus Darkblade series.
While some would hate his guts, yours truly counts among them, I actually like his overall design, going back the famed Count Orlock of Nosferatu, granted he could do well with sleeves, plus I really do love his mounted model as opposed to the hellsteed & Zombie Dragon, try to keep it tabletop wise.
Still I find his old model very adorable,
Manfred, Lord of the Von Carstein Bloodline; the vampire who fucked the world
God påske fra oslo!!
Have you ever considered making a lore video about some of the things that was in Warhammer Online?
Though I feel not everything in that game was a 100% lore friendly, there was some interesting things in that game.
It was also kinda strange that everyone got a familiar character as their faction leader except the greenskins and chaos. The greenskins got this Masterblaster leader with a huge Orc and cunning goblin, while chaos got Tchar'zanek who as far as I know haven't made an appearance before that game.
Arch, need an adeptus Mechanicus video man.
Virgin Mannfred vs Chad Vlad.
You can "count" me in
I want to see your Isabella lp !
mannfred the loyal, arkhan the undefeated and nagash the beloved the end times undead trio :D
at the end all they had to do was get a amateur necromancer out in the swamp practicing and raising manfred from the dead and benig kill by the whole empire would be reason enough for revenge and hey maybe manfred gets a apprentice.
Whats wrong with the end times? Im fairly new to the fantasy side of warhammer and as well im reading an omnibus of novels about the end times and it seems pretty awesome to me, what am i missing
Kondrad the Butcher is best son.
yay! lore!
So Manfred is the failbbadon to vald's Horace
#teamnagash
Good old gaming companies...
"Well, shit we've run out of ideas for new books to sell them... what should we do?"
"Blow everything up, repackage the old shit under and new name, base the rules on our other game... and fuck the fans and the lore?"
"BRILLIANT!"
I only recently got into Warhammer, but it's hardly the first to pull this sort of BS. White Wolf did it with their games awhile back too. Seems almost like the new way to get over writers block in the gaming industry.
What a librarian...
So the empire fucked up the vampires , nice. Who cares bout End times.
so Manfred is a antediluvian (vampire the masquerade)
22:02 Truly, truly OUTRAGEOUS! Hehehehe
>>Stole all their books
Youre telling me he was a... FUCKING NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!
please do a lore video on NEFERATA !!!!
it is so funny to see how english people saying his name( im german), i enjoy it everytime and must admid, that is a hard name to spel out :-) and big thanks for this awesome Lore video to him. Vor me as a beginner it braught me realy in to death.
It's basically pronounced "Car-schtain" the scht being a single sound, and the ai as in eye.
Hey Arch I hate to be "That guy." But Felix wasn't killed he just had his hands cut off, to then be remade by the Dwarf Kallad.
I would have liked Konrad and Manfred being the haroes of the vampire counts but what can you do
You kind of lied a bit... they did mention, if I am not mistaken, that said blood was from a necromancer of sorts if I am not mistaken.
Manfred > Vlad by sooooooo much. Don't know why I see a bunch of comments on how Vlad is better when he had so many more faults than strengths.
Yep. I like both but Manfred is the more cunning, backstabbing and machiavellian of the two. Though Vlad is more the inspiring and charismatic leader.
and he done far better
after manfreds failed attack on altdorf he waged a huge guerilla war
after vlads he got speared of the wall by the pope
Jerec 12 Vlad was about to win. The pope just put a desperate act to take Vlad down impaling him
I believe you meant, "Usurper" ;3
Question about the vampires and making more, let's say Manfred was a 10 in power, would he always sire 9's himself or would that go down eventually?
Mega Merc19 based on how it's presented? I'd say that he always makes 9's, his spawns make 8's, etc etc
So is there no badass vampire left alive in this timeperiod ? (excluding the end times)
+odys mar Neferata is alive.
+odys mar Aragash is still around.
Zacharias
Hey Arch, what would you say is Manfred's bloodline technique?
+marco wtf are you talking about?
+Juuso Hakala Vampire The Masquerade RPG from White Wolf.
Arch said he had the ring.
Why would he not use it? !
Ring was initially one from Nagash and allowed Nagash to dominate them, Vlad spent a long time altering the ring to serve him not Nagash. The vampires didn't know much about Vlad's ring except it helped him come back, so Manfred probably mucked with it for a time then realized it was useless for him
@@a0point0of0view1
So it could only bring Vlad back?
congratulation for 30k subs i hope you do sonthing spezial :-D if not the maby for 40 k ?? :-D :-D
No music
Wait, after Mannfred was finally down didn't the Empire (re)annexed Silavanya?
+Nichita Mihai Nobody wanted that piece of land.
It's like that place in Bretonia above the skaven city. Not one lord is crazy enough to want that
Me + manfred + private = good looking babies
well in D&D theyd call that a desteny dice? xD
Just got finished watching their New Stream they just put out, AI looks Great and Combat is Amazing. hope you check it out on their stream archive
+Stev Mcgin Thier new stream on the archive i mean*
+Stev Mcgin What other stream? Another vampire one?
+Alsemenor Yeah it was the same battle but with different people. they went into a lot more detail and showed more of the combat
wat about konrad
Did Gamesworkshop just fucking phase out Tomb Kings? Wtf GW
+Laurence Martin They're phasing everything out more or less. Bretonnia is having most of its minis halting production, a lot of famous Empire stuff is being removed, the Order alliance is getting shit now. The Death alliance is shit along with the Chaos one. All we can hope is they leave our Orcs alone...
+CPoC I've completely abandoned GW as a company I'm so sick of their shit. Guess I'll try swimming, God knows it'll be cheaper.
+Laurence Martin 40k is mostly good, has flaws still. AoS is their last fuck up I take, it was such horrible timing for me was about to start an Empire army guess not... Thanks GW for Age of Shitmar!
+CPoC Ahahahahahah Have you even seen the modern crap they're putting out? They've totally abandoned the old lore which is weird since they could simply diversify their range with more version of the same shit and make money.
+CPoC www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Warhammer?Nao=48&Nu=product.repositoryId&N=102330+4294965240&qty=12&sorting=rec&view=table&categoryId=cat440002a-flat Look at what they're doing...
arch have you seen this stream www.twitch.tv/totalwarofficial/v/55138239 they showed much more of the spells and character models than in the ides of march thingy
Did the end times actually end everything?
yes, credibility and continuity.
why is there stuff about Sega and total war in the Video description
Manfred is going to be the leader of the Vampire counts in total war
manfred is not the first, Isabella is ;)
Ah yes the guy so overconfident, such a braggart, egotistical, and so full of bravado who boasts about himself so much he never even feels the need to wear a helmet or arm guards.
wait manhred died? thought he was still kicking
+Cody Archer He is currently a mortarch of Nagash's in AOS
whats AOS.....
sounds stupid
+Cody Archer Age of...I don't even want to add the last Word
YEZZZZZZZZZZZ
I'm new to warhammer does anybody know where I should start
these lore videos. it is easy enough to just piece it together. look for races, then characters in the races you decide you like.
+CaptainLekirk k cheers m8
I'm reading through end times, aye parts are bad, love a lot of it though. I think lot of the bad is the result of quickly moving the story on, as GW wanted to release AoS
how the fuck mannfred survived endtime?!?!!!
being dead
