- In this epic Total War Warhammer 2 Underway Battle for Karak Eight Peaks, Belegar Ironhammer and the Dwarfs of the Karaz Ankor face down an unholy alliance between the Greenskins and the Skaven as Queek Headtaker and Skarsnik team up to end the Dawi for good. A gorgeous Underway map of Karak Eight Peaks makes for a great time on Warhammer 2!

*Skaven has 5438 casualties*
Warlord: Ah, Victory
Less competition is always a nice thing
yess-yess
Dwarfs: "ah... I love the smell of the kicked ass in the morning."
"When in doubt, throw more meat at them"

@@ShadowNetWeaver1 Stalin probably didn't actually say that but still, a great quote!
"After the battle, Queek and Skarsnik retreated back to their caverns and licked their wounds. But just as any repectable and honourable rat or gobbo would do, they started to blame each other for their failure. Queek accused Skarsnik with cowardice, and Skarsnik accused him for incompetence and stupidity. And thus, they started to fight amongs themselves until their remaining armies have been wiped out. Ironically, they killed each other more than the Dawi did..."
"Meanwhile, the Dawi hosted a grand feast to honor their ancestors and gods for the victory they have earned today. The feasts and songs lasted for 3 days and nights. Yet they could not celebrate for long... Although their casualties very few compared to the Gobbo/Skaven alliance, eventhough each Dawi slew atleast 20 enemies, their losses were irreplaceable. They lost almost half their forces, many of whom were long and elite veterans of countless battles. Both Belegar and Thorgrim knew that they could not hope to win in a war of attrition. So after the celebrations have ended, they tended to their wounded and mourned the dead, they retreated back to their holds..."
*And thus Karak Eight Peaks remained unclaimed for years to come. Forever locked in a 3 way war...*
"Alas, the Dawi had no way to know how much long term damage they inflicted upon their enemies..."
"Clan Mors nearly bankrupted itself hiring weapon teams and DOOMFLAYERS from Clan Skyre. Without the loot from victory, they had no way to recover the cost, and still owed a considerable sum of warptokens to Clan Skyre. Their slave force was decimated as planned, but because the Dawi remained in control of the battlefield Clan Mors could not retrieve the bodies and use them as food. This caused a famine among the clanrat's ranks and slowed the breeding of new ratligs, which in turn made the production quotas hit rock bottom, damaging their economy even further. This was really bad for Clan Mors, for Clan Skyre always opposed Clan Moulder's proposition of stomping this upstart fifht Clan. Not paying up would mean losing that support..."
"Meanwhile, Skarsnik had his own problems. Hiring those savage orcs from the badlands costed him a fortune in teef, and the orcs boar boyz big 'uns costed him even more, for havig big 'uns serving a simple gobbo did not come cheap. With his gobbos, his main source of teef revenue, decimated, he was forced to sell a lot of his mad cap mushroom assets to the passing goblin wolf rider trading tribes in order to cover the costs and pay his army. No doubt the wolf rider caravans would notice his delicate situation and thus buy the shrooms at extortion rates. With the resultig shortage of mushrooms the goblin fanatics were unable to brew enought fungus beer and the unrest spreaded like wildfire accross the goblins. This discontent, added to the already bad mood from the defeat against the Dawi, put Skarsnik's position on the bring of collapse..."
"Plus, those orc boar riders were from the Red Fangs tribe, and if their leader, Gorfang Rotgut, got word of the defeat he would take advantage of this moment of weakness to break the alliance with Crooked Moon and invade Karak Eight Peaks".
Gotta be honest, statistically, the Dwarfs still lose that. The Skaven and Greenskins can recover their numerical losses in maybe a quarter of a year but any lost dwarf is a loss of decades if not centuries of experience. They may have won this battle but at the same time, they have suffered the worst long term damage which may very well lead to them losing the war.
@Thundercracker97 Thank you. To me the funniest story would be Skarsnik's, for the grim goofyness of greenskins in general.
@@darthplagueis13 You are right. That is the case with all elder races (except maybe the Lizardmen, because they just spawn more manpower out of their pools). The Dwarfs cannot win this war, neither in Karak Eight Peaks nor in another hold. Their enemies reproduce too quickly. Even Humans give them a run for their money in conflicts of attrition. This constant streak of phyrric victories (or outright defeats) is also why there is always more grudges being added to the Dammaz Kron than there are grudges being settled. If I understand correctly, the reason why the Dwarfs managed to clean the Great Book of Grudges in the End Times is because everyone/everything with his/her/it's name in it was dead, including the Grimspike pass.
However, the very fickle nature of the Dawi's enemies is what has prevented the Dwarfs from being wiped out already. Clan Mors and Crooked Moon could send another wave of canon fodder to finish off the remaining Dawi, but their leaders can't afford to so, at least not inmediatly. The defeat has compromised Skarsnik's and Queek's postition, for their fellow Goblins and Skaven, both from within and from without their political entities will hold them accountable for the defeat and try to exploit their sudden state of weakness. Underlings will try to overthrow them, and other tribes or clans will attack them while they are low, especially when the prize is Karak Eight Peaks/City of Pillars. So, if Skarsnik and Queek are not careful, the Dawi will be expelled from the hold, but the Greenskins and Skaven that will revel in the loot will not be Crooked Moon and Clan Mors, but possibly Red Fangs and Clan Skyre. Or perhaps both Crooked Moon and Clan Mors remain in control, just not ruled by Skarsnik or Queek (both who will be executed and eaten, hopefully in that order).
Because of this, the Dawi can still control the upper levels of Karak Eight Peaks, and like typical cartoon villains, the Goblins and the Skaven will be back to backstabbing each other, thus allowing our Dawi heroes to rest, bring a handful of reinforcements, recite grudges, manufacture weapons and tools, compare each other's beard lenght, import LOTS of Bugman's beer and prepare for the next phyrric defense or pointless push. So is it that Clan Angrund has managed to stay in this three way scrap for so many centuries, long after their slow troop replacement rate would have caused them to go extinct.
2 GRUDGES SETTLED IN 1 DAY??!! BRING OUT THE BUGMAN'S LADS!!
The only mini-campaign that truly deserves to be in game. Fingers crossed for future dlc.
incredibly thematic! more like this please
your commentary is very entertaining to listen to
happy you enjoyed my friend!

It is nice to see Queek make an entrance again. In recent times, he's become my favorite character in the lore, so I had a lot of fun watching him. Props to the players, the modder, and your commentary, this was a ton of fun to watch!
Great to see flame cannons just slaughtering things by the hundreds.
This battle was uploaded a Sunday.
By Monday morning Gobbla was hungry again.
By Monday afternoon the Goblins and the Skaven had already replenished their numbers.
Who'd have thought. Dwarfs are good at holding the line.
Great siege battle. These really are the gems of your collection.
More battles from the lore please.
thanks for playing my map, glad you liked it! I'll have to get started on that free-for-all map asap!
that would be awesome! thanks for the great work you've done :)
What an absolute chad, thanks for making such an amazing map!!!
Queek not Lose-Lose, He only Did Tactical Retreat... Yes-Yes, Queek HeadTaker come-Scurry Back, to Pillar City. Cut Dwarf-Things, kill Dwarf-Things
"Ta charge an Iron Breaker iz like charging a wall. But a wall dat strikes."
Night Goblin observation on the field
Hitting an Ironbreaker is like hitting an anvil. You're more likely to reshape your weapon than to move him. And the Gods forbid one falls on you.

Take a rock, about the size of a dwarf, and roll it down a mountain. Now imagine that rock has a beard and a hammer...and that's pretty much it.

Huge fan of anything Dwarf Indy :D great to see custom maps like these, keep it up dude.
I love the skaven "weak center" trap with warp fire throwers behind 2 sets of skavenslaves flanked by clanrats with great weapons. Use cavalry to force a center charge.
Damn dude, you are just the king of these battle commentaries. So awesome.
How can you not love these huge thematic battles! Please keep pumping out videos like this Indy!
beautiful... I love these thematic battles... ESPECIALLY when the dwarfs win.
5:33 Oh, boi
What a beautiful map! Brother, I would pay good money if CA decides to do a map DLC. I wonder if they would make one after the release of WH3 and all the Lord and Race DLCs that come along with it. What do you think?
That was a fun battle to watch...the attackers got absolutely clapped.
Damn! That was awesome! I normally dislike the stunties but in this case, because it was so cinematic, I had to go with the good guys. That was really well done, I loved the thematic battle and the map as well, so well done. I hope you can do more of those.
I like the darkness of the battle zone, perfect lighting for an underground area
Yes we need more sfo love the content man can’t wait for the next one !
Psychologist: "So, tell me, why do you hate dwarfs?"
Me: This... this is why.
Suddenly wild Grimgor with Da Immortulz appear.. Woulda been fun! Love these battles, keep em coming
You can`t beat a great mix of SFO, A great custom map, a legendary campaign and some Indy Pride. Well played ! Oh yeah and gobbla munching a dwarf!!
Just want to say, I love your intros for each battle
627 kills for that flame cannon unit... I think that's a worthy investment.
These flame canons went 360 squigscope in the poor skavens
Awesome commentary and epic visuals! Thank you sir!
Loving the SFO and lore based content.
Much kill-death in pillar city, yes yes!
Many many back tails flying, nyahahahahaha!
(Awesome battle, as always. :-)
Love a good Dwarfs defensive hold.
🔥🔥🔥True king of Eight Peaks!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
"Supreme ruler of Eight Peaks! Gaaaah!"
Indy, I found a mod recently called Battlemap Fog Remover. It removes all that lame fog in the battle maps and makes them muuuch more attractive to look at. I didn't notice a drop in FPS. Considering how you like to make cinematic videos, I think this mod will be a huge boon.
sounds super useful, i will check it out thanks!
The flame cannons were ridiculous
I too am very disappointed there's no way to do a 3 way battle in any capacity. The rivalry between Skarsnik, Belegar and Queek and the eternal war for Karak Eight Peaks is one of the most exciting conflicts in the setting and there's no way to do it. It'd be great if they did a mini campaign (that was actually good) for the three factions centered around the City of Pillars with the possibility of a big 3 way battle. Maybe some day.
What happened to those Doomflayers that were flanking? They just sort of disappeared after making it around.
Nobody said they had to be Doomstayers. They fled back to their Doomlairs.
Jezz that flame cannon shot is soooooo satisfying
I love the smell of roasted rat in the morning dwarf saying
Your sieges are so good. Always want more. Some more of the mod and DoW1 would be cool too.
Any Defending Army with decent Range options seems to win these Sieges easily, I've seen 6 of yours so far and the only Defending Army that lost in those was the Chaos one
Maybe the Attackers need more to make it closer to even
check my Epic Sieges in Total War Warhammer playlist, attackers win more than defenders do
Lovin' all the Grimhammer content
Finally, a match I'm not deeply ashamed of. Was a really fun game
in my defence I did use belegar near the end to charge the orc warboss with the remaining rangers. I kind of wanted one buffer on every front and was expecting an attack on the centre to come once I overcommitted on the right flank.
So if the alliance is dissolving ... Does that mean we can expect an awesome Skagen versus green skin fight in the future😁?
My day becomes multiple times better when I get a notification from you mate. TH-cam needs great content like this
I still think that you could literally have an entire game dedicated to the war for the 8 peaks especially with how big the place is and the amount of stuff that could be used.
SFO, only way to get close to the numbers of a genuine vermintide.
And the Dwarfs field small armies, rather than them always going cheap and wide. SFO really brings out the best of each race.
Where did you learn eveything about the end times? It's something ive been wanting to read.
Can irondrakes fire in a small arc over a unit in front of them like the warp fire throwers seemed to be?
You could just grab Queen from behind by that big thing he wears on his back, then jerk him backwards to get him off of his feet lol. Then say “That’s a bad little mouse, you need to behave better!”
why does it feel like the good guys always win in these videos
The map makes it look like armies of ants battling in a normal sized room.
Your narration is ambrosia
So does this mod translate to the campaign map too or is it just an online only map pack
Amazing battle indy
Indy, so many character were introduced (minor amd mayor) and killed in the ET that its a tad bit difficult to know who killed who if they werent important characters
This map is absolutely incredible. I wish we could get a LOTR mod with maps like these. DAC is solid but Medieval 2 seriously limits what it’s capable of.
What does SFO Grimhammer mean and what is it?
Toxic SpikezZ Probably one of the biggest mods for the game that tries to make each faction more unique.
@@teroslarone1171 thank
I cheered for the Dawi the entire time!
my fav faction is the dwarfs x.x but my second fav is the orks. heresy...i know
This is HERESY!
I feel like as if that skaven (at least in singleplayer) should be able to have at 2 or 3 extra units of skaven slaves regardless if the army has reached the 20 cap. Would rly add to the vermintide feel that they might be lacking. *Just to add, they would only be able to have these extra slaves if they don't already have at least 4 units of slaves already. Otherwise the number of models would be broken
Where do you find these cool maps and where can you find people to play with on them?
Grand campaign custom maps (GCCM:Main Mod, and GCCM:Custom Assets).
What kind of pc do you use milk?
A cannon getting over 600 kills and eleven Skaven regiments that dont get a single kill.
Wait! You can play with others with mods on! My friends and I always get incompatible versions.
You need the exact same mods to play together
the current official mod manager is bugged and not working properly with load orders, so even if you have the exact same mods enabled it will still say incompatible. i have made CA aware of this issue and hope they will fix it, for now you have to use Kaedrins Mod manager to get multiplayer compatibility
@@milkandcookiesTWThanks for making them aware. Also I tried Kaedrins mod, worked for me but, friends kept getting ctd and couldn't get the game to work after reinstalling the game. They blamed me for it of course lol
kaedrins shouldnt be causing crashes, its a lot more likely those CTDs are from mod conflicts
@@milkandcookiesTW No mods on at all, still the game wouldn't start for him. He deleted appdata/TW folders and verified intergrity. Fixed it! I believe he just didn't follow the instructions for the mod manager correctly.
There was only one real winner here, Chaos.
Dawi really have no grasp of "reinforcing failure" or "throwing good money after bad" and why you shouldn't, do they.
[an entry has been added into the Book]
Does the mod come with the gore in it?
In general and best regards of Warhammer Total War.
We need better maps and campaign mechanics for the sake of a unique gameplay experience.
CA needs to bring back the flavor of "King and the Warlord" and upgrade that tenfold for the 3 factions and their hunger for the Peaks.
We need diplomacy and the flavor of each faction to shine much better than copy paste "offices" or simple dumb buffs that has no usage but a character slot.
Warhammer deserves so much more than it already is, it has a lot more potential than we already have, the sky is not the limit here for this serie what so ever.
I hope CA listens to the plea of the community at large and improve and invest in Warhammer for things to come.
To be honest, I think that the new faction mechanics have all been a lot more than just a few offices.
@@WlLDEHlLDE So because you need a tech and resources behind and place them within the same kind of dull Empire office window where you gain a similar buff makes it brand new?
Its basically a copy-paste excuse, same goes for the Wood elves and their Lord council, it serves no end and you don't even bother about because it has no major impact than being "buffs" no mechanics behind it what so ever.
@@GruwskiTheDogski Honestly, look at the new dlc. Skaven alone got under-empire, nukes, the workshop, new units, new generals etc.
@@WlLDEHlLDE What have that to do with anything that I just said?
Making things into powercreep is a double edge sword and it takes the spotlight for far to much of the game, sure its nice and sweet..
Yet in reality those that came before are left in the shadows?
Like foot lords, unique skill tree are implanted into a 2 skill section, tech tree's just does minor buffs and arn't as impactful.
However CA is looking into the "minor" tweaking of tech tree's as seen from the lastest patch.
I still find it lacking that rather than dealing with impactful, they make it to damn easy and cheesy ..
Where's the flavor of Queek's campaign in regards of the Eight peeks? all you do is turtle and then slowly go for the peak itself..
The game is way to "sandbox" and boring by the implantation of more over the top stuff, CA is adding 1 cool toy while breaking 2 more.
Do you see what i'm getting at?
Mortal Empire Campaigns feel boring and there arn't enough flavor in regards of events, world renown, the darkness of a dark invasion and the ultimate bad guy drawing in.
Nothing is ever put up towards that, the much older races are still in major needs of upgrades and the patching of bugs like the extremely old gatebug or hell arcing of range weaponry for not allowing friendly fire is getting a bit weee old now.
In the end the positive gets outshined by a major concern of something that gets overshadowed again and again.
The more you add, the more you need to think of both the mid term of a game towards to late game of your game experience.
It needs to be a thrill and a journey to complete a mortal empire campaign, not a dull and narrow thought sandbox experience.
Its why people play more the vortex experience because at least then you have something to work towards.
Belegar is a badass.
This is just great
Is it actually working now the mod?
Those flame cannons might have a little less range and ammo than your average canon but it's still way too much unless they are priced at 2k points or more.
And while I realize those numbers have been bloated by the many meat shield units, the flame cannons have also killed a lot of armoured elite troops.
What a great battle =)
YES! I love sieges!
Now if only we could have 1v1v1 battles.
THAT WAS EPIC
0:17 Who is the Silver Queen?
Vala-Azril-Ungol is the old name for Karak Eight Peaks, translated as Queen of the Silver Depths
Dwarves have green blood?
no? whered you see green blood
This is the reason I have bought and only played 2 hours of Three Kingdoms
I envy you, Indy, my friends and I are having the WORST time getting mods to work with online play. Hopefully the devbros can get that new launcher in better working order soon, I miss SFO.
yeah have to use Kaedrins mod manager for now
Dislike for me you haven't said "Pancaking". But for real a like Indy :)
That doesn't make sense tho , Queek swore to take Skarsnik's head...
Lemme bump that like button up to a smooth 500..
This is dope
Khazukan kazakit ha!
Fall apart like a jigsaw in a box?
take a completed jigsaw puzzle, move it anywhere, it falls apart. put a completed jigsaw puzzle back in the back it originally came in, and it will fall apart ;P
i enjoyed.
Did anyone else have a voice talk over the commentary telling you not to enter the game if you're under 18 years old?
Kan't shoot wot ya kan't see, they saids. Well, dat's funny, cos' I just saw a burny ball go right fru a rock pillar-fing. Next time anyone saiz summink funny like dat, I'll give them a right good clobberin'.
Yess!!!!! Finally!!!
Anyone else who played on K8P in wh online?
Ah, this video has some nice gibbetude.
hell yeah!!!!
KHAZUKAN KHAZAKIT-HA!
Khazzuuuuuuuk
Why is this not a FFA though?
because its not a free for all map. there is no karak eight peaks FFA map unfortunately
@@milkandcookiesTW unfortunate... Good gameplay regardless and great commentary as always, thanks for the upload mate ✌🏻
Wait, Ska? I thought it was a Moulder Beastmaster that cut its way out of Gobbla?
you might be right now that I think about it! i had thought it was Ska but more I think about it might have been someone else
