Gelt's true money-making superpower isn't transmutation (you can't permanently transmute a material to gold) but investing in the Empire's military-industrial complex.

Fun fact; Balthasar wasn't originally the Empire's signature Wizard special character; when the first Empire army book rolled out for 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles, the Empire's special character list contained two super special Wizards: Tzarina Katarin of Kislev, the Ice Witch, and Thyrus Gormann, Head of the College of Fire and Supreme Patriarch of Imperial Wizards. Balthasar was introduced in 6th edition's Empire army book, and whilst Thryus did get an official update on the GW website to 6e, with the option to represent him as Supreme Patriarch once more by swapping out his signature Fire Magic-boosting staff for the Staff of Volans carried by Balthasar, he never made it into the 7e or 8e Empire books, being overtaken by Balthasar.
That's pretty awesome, lore update being reflected by model/rules changes. I know the lore is an excuse to sell said models and (unfortunately) rules, but still.
@@lorenzorodriguez9481 I honestly expected our host to mention him in the breakdown; Gelt challenged him for the role of Supreme Patriarch, Thyrus lost, and he went back to being "just" the Patriarch of the Bright College. He does make a full appearance in a 4th edition Warhammer Roleplay book, but since 6e, his only appearances in the Empire army books has been the mention of his defeat at Gelt's hands.
He lost the magic battle to Gelt and had to forfeit the Supreme Patriarch title. He is still around and the patriarch of the Bright College. Sienna from Vermintide reference him - "By Tarnus and Gormann!"
@@heistingcrusader_ad3223 i think he'd make good buddies with magnus. especially while playing dnd. especially especially when they play dnd in the warhammer fantasy world and accidentally kill that bastard magnus buckethead that he never really liked
Funny story: in WFRPG (the TTRPG of Warhammer Fantasy) my party interacted with Gelt, after hearing of the bounty in the harbor district. The scheming merchant, ever looking for money, convinced the Patriarch to turn a fake metal mask, which looked exactly like his, to gold and fool the pirate with it. Gelt agreed, but only after making sure he would get half of the bounty for himself. The pirate was fooled by the mask (because we stuffed a half-rotten head inside) and gave us the gold. It is said that even today, one can hear the enraged screams of a pirate captain near Altdorf, yelling about Gelt haunting him until his dying day. Oh yeah, the helmet turned back to iron after we left btw.
That is so wonderful My gold wizard apprentice had a stint in the college with the party, only one time did people get lost until we found our way through the non-euclidean smoghell to her master, who got us a cool, very terrifying explosion-gun on the grounds that we'd report how good it is when we got back
Joking aside it would do the exact opposite and cause severe deflation as the Royal treasuries cease investment to hoard gold to increase the faith of the army that they're still going to be paid.
OH GOD, it is so SURREAL knowing what you actually look like instead of imagining you as a disembodied voice who sustains his existence through sheer hatred towards the fact that Brettonia existed at all.
No, but it is the first time I’VE seen his face, because I’m not a long time viewer and I haven’t seen any of his previous videos where he also shows his face.
I agree it is weird when someone you always perceived as a disembodied voice whose traits you have to imagine entirely from the tone and manner of speech suddenly grows a face. Idk, disembodied voices are cool

In regards to your TWW crashing, sorry to hear. Good news though, from a similar experience ('random' crashes on the same city multiple times) I have a solution that's worked every time for me: If playing on anything less than Legendary (where save scumming is impossible), reload the last save and do a slightly different thing.

Another thing to note: "Gelt" is an old german word, which roughly means things like salary, compensation etc..

You have honestly become my favorite Warhammer lore channel! Your videos are always both entertaining to watch as well as informative. Even your WH Fantasy videos I enjoy even though I really more prefer 40k. Glad I found ya! The fact I also agree with you that Halo is the superior universe (Forerunners piledrive the 40K galaxy) may also be a factor lol!
You mean Genevieve Sandrine Du Pointe Du Lac Dieudonne? She's my favorite character in the Old World. Her Omnibus is fantastic. Detlef Siercke is the greatest playwright the Empire has ever seen and managed to become a direct avatar of Sigmar for a short amount of time. In her stories you also meet 'Dirty' Harald Kleinsdeist, with his Magnin knife (made with a mix of cold iron and silver). Kim Newman is a great writer.
10:31 And from that day onward it would be an accepted legend of the Colleges of Magic that Balthasar Gelt could make absolutely anything happen by snapping his fingers.
10:30 there’s some precedent for the gold wind manipulating creatures’ minds; there’s a few spells from WFRP 2e that allow Gold Wizards to reorder the psychologies of Humanoids so it may be that he reorganized the psychologies of the entire Imperial Zoo to view him as their… caretaker? mother? child? so that they wanted to defend him/do his bidding.
24:40 no no this man is not just throwing a vial of acid at you, *He is throwing The vial of Ultimate Acid at you.* imagine pestering a dude about his bounty, he throws a vial at you, and your melting into the floor along with the floor.
Really been enjoying your content. First heard of you on the Astartes Anonymous Podcast, talking about how you want Teclis's babies. Keep up the good work!
One of my biggest fantasy fantasies is being a spellsword or an arcane knight. Basically the sword and sorcery guy in one. Also being like Magnus or Macros the Black from the Raymond E. Feist books that have nothing to do with Warhammer but he is an insanely powerful wizard. Because being able to hurl lightning at people is awesome.
My theory is that the spell that allowed Gelt to create the Auric Bastion came from the Moon Empress or one of her children, the spell imperfectly emulating the mechanics by which the Great Bastion functioned. Maybe it was part of a plan to contain Chaos to the North and leave the Slann to fend for themselves since they and their Old Ones knew better than the Dragons, turn about is fair play and all that.
10:00 or Ikit claw dealing with morghur, you either go deal with undead pirates and let him border you and stop you moving west and north while if you try deal with him the pirates sometimes get wiped out anyway funnily enough, I often alliance with them for Fell Bats and have to constantly try to keep them from getting railed by dwarves, ogres, vampires and the french

Been waiting for this since the community post, so glad to get my favorite guy on my birthday lmao
This face reveal out of nowhere was something akin to a jumpscare, i always get attached to the voice and forget that you aren't a flying brain with a mouth and a not working pancreas
you're looking extra beast mode lately man, good work, keep beasting
You have honestly become my favorite Warhammer lore channel! Your videos are always both entertaining to watch as well as informative. Even your WH Fantasy videos I enjoy even though I really more prefer 40k. Glad I found ya!
The fact I also agree with you that Halo is the superior universe (Forerunners piledrive the 40K galaxy) may also be a factor lol!
God macraiges economy is not recovering
"Geld" Is german for money. Dude is practically named after the solid gold he loves.
If someone hands you 1 millions dollars, there is ALWAYS some strings attached
You mean Genevieve Sandrine Du Pointe Du Lac Dieudonne? She's my favorite character in the Old World. Her Omnibus is fantastic. Detlef Siercke is the greatest playwright the Empire has ever seen and managed to become a direct avatar of Sigmar for a short amount of time. In her stories you also meet 'Dirty' Harald Kleinsdeist, with his Magnin knife (made with a mix of cold iron and silver). Kim Newman is a great writer.
Constance Drachenfels is also fucking cool as hell (even if he was defeated by what amounted to a group of magical theater kids)
Awesome timing. I started a gelt campaign for the first time yesterday.
Fuck
I just realized his name is near to gilt, to cover in gold. This dude is named Golden Balthazar
Damn you for using Nina as an example of Alchemy
Just finished watching the Karl Franz video of yours perfect timing
10:31 And from that day onward it would be an accepted legend of the Colleges of Magic that Balthasar Gelt could make absolutely anything happen by snapping his fingers.
It's always a great day when Balthasar Gelt gets a video.
10:30 there’s some precedent for the gold wind manipulating creatures’ minds; there’s a few spells from WFRP 2e that allow Gold Wizards to reorder the psychologies of Humanoids so it may be that he reorganized the psychologies of the entire Imperial Zoo to view him as their… caretaker? mother? child? so that they wanted to defend him/do his bidding.
24:40 no no this man is not just throwing a vial of acid at you, *He is throwing The vial of Ultimate Acid at you.*
imagine pestering a dude about his bounty, he throws a vial at you, and your melting into the floor along with the floor.
Really been enjoying your content. First heard of you on the Astartes Anonymous Podcast, talking about how you want Teclis's babies. Keep up the good work!
" I am supreme! " Balthasar Gelt in a Supreme coat.
I like to imagine Gelt just promised the Imperial Dragon he would make his entire enclosure gold
One of my biggest fantasy fantasies is being a spellsword or an arcane knight. Basically the sword and sorcery guy in one. Also being like Magnus or Macros the Black from the Raymond E. Feist books that have nothing to do with Warhammer but he is an insanely powerful wizard. Because being able to hurl lightning at people is awesome.
"You fool, Balthazar. You can't turn my gold into lead... I HAVE NO GOLD!"
Gelt: **Turns you into a gold statue**
Also Gelt: **Turns the gold statue into Lead**
1:28 needed a jump-scare warning there almost lost my hairline (love the video man finally Something to new to listen to while sleeping )
My theory is that the spell that allowed Gelt to create the Auric Bastion came from the Moon Empress or one of her children, the spell imperfectly emulating the mechanics by which the Great Bastion functioned. Maybe it was part of a plan to contain Chaos to the North and leave the Slann to fend for themselves since they and their Old Ones knew better than the Dragons, turn about is fair play and all that.
10:00 or Ikit claw dealing with morghur, you either go deal with undead pirates and let him border you and stop you moving west and north while if you try deal with him the pirates sometimes get wiped out anyway funnily enough, I often alliance with them for Fell Bats and have to constantly try to keep them from getting railed by dwarves, ogres, vampires and the french
damn you for that full metal alchemist ref at 3:33 that hit me in the feels
I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
Balthazar gelt stole my catalytic converters. He gave me fentanyl in return though.
Whatever happens, pancreas should be in the next total war warhammer game. I want to pick some empire guy and have him say “thank you for being todays sponsor”
Balthazar Gelt turned all of the gold on Guilliman’s armor into lead. Can’t have shit on Ultramar.
"Inflation?! You have the power of the Emperor at your fingertips, and you choose INFLATION?! WHAT THE THRONES THE MATTER WITH YOU?!"
On the matter of total warhammer not working, I'd recommend going to properties then installed files, then Verify Integrity of game files.
Same thing happened with me, this is what I did and it started working fine again.
Here's hoping that helps.
