      yeah but the german words like hexennacht, geheimnisnacht, totentanznacht and so on get butchered to hell.
      its not even remotely recognisable when he pronounces them.
      hexennacht wich is pronounced like this: educalingo.com/de/dic-de/hexennacht
      is turned into hexenstash.
      the imperial provinces, dialect and names are primarily german/fantasygerman with here and there some polish influences.

    Man, I'm listening to this just thinking of how awesome Vermintide 3 could be if they put in ALL the scary horde races. Just think of it: Skaven, Chaos/Norsca, Beastmen, Undead, and Greenskins. Sounds like a lot of work for the devs, but it would be glorious!

    I use crypt ghouls as frontline units against the dwarfs because they are numerous, armor piercing, cheap, fast infantry

    • @wilberwhateley7569
      @wilberwhateley7569 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I prefer varghiests for that purpose - armor piercing, frenzy and regeneration in a fast-flying unit: it doesn’t get better than that for demolishing armored infantry!

    Vlad: Get a bunch of fast movers and a Nehek everything into eternity. My good god is his style a breeze. The only thing I've seen that even comes close to as easy of a campaign as that is Hellebron's. Both of them turn the game into a point & click adventure.

    I really love you taking your time to make these videos, as one fan to another of the classic vampire genre, such as The Vampire Counts of the late WarHammer fantasy, Ravenloft along with the Vampire from Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness and as fellow nerd in general, you have my deepest respect and thanks, still my favorite units are the Varghulfs, they are so cute and fluffy,

    If you are playing as Vampire counts, just get unlimited stacks of free skeletons. You can win by just sheer numbers. If your army is defeated, you can instantly create another one.

    Currently in Total War Warhammer Im playing as Ungruim Ironfist and I FINALLY finished off the Vampire Counts in a war Ive had with them since near the beginning of the campaign. The undead were alot harder to deal with than I previously thought, as I went with the tactic of taking out any and all leadership and in some battles I was too busy managing my leaders trying to take out theirs, that the undead, under AI, were able to execute pretty devastating flanking attacks on my frontline troops and my skirmishers ultimately in those fights I would either suffer VERY heavy losses or suffer defeat. So word of advice to Total War Warhammer players make sure that ur army is in a good position BEFORE chasing down undead lords after I did that I suffered way less loses, and as always another great video my dude keep up the good work.

    I'd always hoped for Vampire Counts to be a vampire faction rather than an undead faction as they're effectively an undead faction with a handful of vampire leaders pulling the strings. Also always wished they made more use of blood tax auxiliaries as a mechanic.

    • @Andreithelord
      @Andreithelord 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      that would have been strange. VC has always been about the horde of weak and strong ass heroes. Vampires making an empire of vampires is not sustainable. As a result, you have nobles, who are vampires and are extremely powerful, and an army of disposables that support them to keep the enemy busy while the vamps wind of death them to oblivion

    Tomb guards can wreck zombies and skeletons variety of the vampire counts to a certain degree at least. they aren't that great consider the fact that they are suppose to be the elite infantries of the Tomb Kings faction. but at the end of the day, I'll usually filled my entire army up with construct for pure destruction purposes. Tomb Guards are just frontline meatshield for the more elite units.

      @InquisitorThomas ปีที่แล้ว

      Back in the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy there was just a single army book for the Undead, but eventually the undead was split into the Vampire Counts and the Tomb Kings, I know the Scream Skull Catapult used to be in the Undead army book but it became a Tomb Exclusive, same for Skeleton archers as far as I’m aware.

    I havent watched the video yet but I am listening to it as I type this.
    What I wanted to comment on though, is that I think you may be a little confused. Generally, people do not adopt their porn site account names into their regular life persona. I'm not sure why you went that way, its a bold choice, but still its your choice. Just wanted to help you clear that up before you apply for a job or go within 500 feet of an elementary school.
