@@Ake-TL That was something that Erebus told Horus in the temple of the serpent lodge, so there is a good chance that it is bullshit.

Friendly reminder that the only reason Age Of Sigmar exists is because Settra decided to do a sidequest before killing Nagash and solo the entirety of the hordes of chaos to prove a fucking point to the four most powerful entities in the world, that point being that Settra. Does. Not. *SERVE.*
Manny killed the Old World because he realized he was in a no-win situation. He either helps save the world, and then settle in for an eternity serving Natash, or let the world asplode and hope Nagash dies in the blast alongside him. Mannfred would be dead, but it beat the alternative. If Settra had killed Nagash, then Nagash wouldn’t have been a factor and Mannfred wouldn’t have shivved Gelt.
The man was about to kill Nagash a man he hated more than anything until the gods literally offered him everything he wanted. Immortality, wealth, power, and even to have sex again. Yet the man stopped. Told Nagash that he has some pesky Chaos Gods to kill first and that he will be right back and just went fucking ham.
Settra being a giant boss was one of the few good things about the End Times. Also, his last conversation with Nagash was hilarious. Settra: "So the Chaos Gods *commanded* me to kill you." Nagash: "Oh, so they're idiots after all."
@@thehermitman822 he accepted immortality from the chaos gods on the agreement that he would kill Nagash. He hunted Nagash all the way to the Empire at Archaeon's Warhost, beat the ever loving shit out of Kholek, told Nagash thst the ONLY reason Settra isn't killing him right then and there is because someone else told him to do it and he's going to kill the chaos gods for thinking they're allowed to do that, and proceeded to slaughter his way through armies of Chaos alone as Nagash is left sitting there like "I really shouldn't have tried to kill that fucking lunatic". The world was consumed at some point after.
@@Busketroll Of course he has people do that for him, if he did it every time he would have died of old age without even making it to the black mountains.
@@DiZtheJedi He orders his solders to kidnap some living men. Collects their shit from buckets in their cell. has the shit loaded into his mummy abdomen. Then forces you to kneel as he shits down your throat.
Morrille Nagy That's what the books and Black Pyramid are for. As soon as he gets his old body back, he's gonna eat the biggest feast in history, booze it up until he can breath fire by just lighting a match in front of his face, fuck every hot concubine that he has AND the wives and concubines of the other Tomb Kings just to make a point, and then take the most epic dump and piss in history...all because he is the King of Kings and he wants to, damn it.
Another cool thing to point out - after Settra kills Kholek and marches off to kill the Chaos Gods, Archaon himself acknowledged him and showed him respect before setting off to go end the world. Settra demanded the respect of all, and he was never deprived of it. Not even from Chaos.
also to be fair archaon kinda wants the chaos gods dead (and may or may not have destroyed other universes beyond age of sigmar to try to starve the chaos gods out) despite working for them as he didn't exactly choose to be the anti-christ (everchosen whatever its the same) so i imagine him seeing settra's pure fucking angry will and thought "well if anyone can have a chance at killing chaos directly its this crazy skeleton king"
I mean the Russian Emperors were kinda like that IRL. There literally wasn't a splinter khanate or whatever too small for them to formally claim the title of when they took it over, and they rolled over a fuckton of those AQUIRING CLAY all the way up to the damn Pacific. Unsurprisingly most of that was heavily abbreviated even in most ceremonial contexts.

When the local alternatives as of Total War time period are the Bretonnians, who will probably treat you way worse, Settra seems fine by comparison. At the very least he seems to understand that peasants need a decent food to survive.
Fun fact: Alexander never said that. It doesn't appear until the 1600s and appears to be a bastardization of a time he was learning about multiple realms and wept because he could not conquer even one.

It should be noted that for Negash to be able to defeat Setra, he had to absorb the power of the Nekaharian God of the Underworld. That's right. Setra is so badass, that beating an actual god is an easier task.
And doing so killed morr and utterly fucked what remained of the human pantheon, the churl. But nothing stops Nagash from his goals of usurping chaos except for... Nagash, funnily enough.

For those who dont understand why settra didn't get corrupted by chaos is that settra is the embodiment of the will of man. Thats why you see him while being quite weak compared to the gods that he almost always gives them the middle finger while recognizing their powers as the will of humanity cannot be conquered by anyone.
chaos also by nature is best at corrupting those with weak wills or vices. yeah lets just say settra didn't have anything resembling a corruptible nature.
Hmm, you didn't mention the time when a band of Norscan chaos infused raiders came and pillaged a tomb in Nehekara, in a battle they managed to beat Settra and although most of the marauders were dead a dozen of them managed to escape and were loaded with a shitton of loot heading back to their home. 10 years later or more Settra came back and with a giant army charged across the Northern Chaos Wastes wiping out tribes of savages and other creatures including a giant Dragon Ogre until he finally got every single peace of stolen treasure back and killed off all those who were involved in the raid + a few thousands more. :)
"Upon realising that the world was too large to be conquered in one lifetime, Settra went full-blown midlife crisis. He bought a Dodge Challenger, started doing CrossFit, and opened up a craft brewery." I love the narration in these videos 😂😂😂
First time I played Tomb Kings in TWW I played Settra and at one point I had a battle where 10,000 soldiers died. TK v TK is a grind. That battle involved 3 or 4 armies on both sides and lasted four several hours. Afterwards my enemies laid dead at the feet of Settra the Imperishable and his remaining 1000 soldiers out of like 6000. It was nuts, I'd love to do it again, but I really don't want to do it again.
Settra actually (kinda) returned in an AoS novel where Settrus of the Imperishables is mentioned as a leader of a chamber of Stormcast Eternals who have a paticular grudge against Nagash and all of his undead minions.
To be fair nagash tried to enslave all of the respective tomb kings but alcadizzar and the skaven punked him before he could finish the ritual. ... That's right the *SKAVEN* were that afraid of nagash that they worked with a man-thing to stop him, even empowering him through a ritual that fed off their own strength. Granted, if Nagash lost they would get the unsnorted remains of cripple peak, but still.
Tomb Kings were actually what convinced me to buy, and enjoy, TW Warhammer. I'll admit up through 2020 I was a historical purist. But seeing just how badass Settra and the aesthetic of the tomb kings got me in. Thanks for putting him in the light for me
It should be noted that it took the combined might of Nagash, Neferata, Arkhan, Mannfried, Drachenfels, and the Skaven blowing up the black pyramids to actually *stop* Settra. Not kill him, merely stop him.
@@codybonds aww shucks its no bother really :). Also definitely do Mannfred next. I'm soooooooooo curious whether you'll do some Nakai style appreciation or a Harkon style dunking.
Say what you will about AoS, the fact that Sigmar apparently felt the need to rez Settra as a Stormcast, and give him an entire army called "the Imperishables" to screw with Nagash tells you that either Settra was that badass, or Sigmar really had a crush on the guy.
Interviewer: “So Settra what are some of your strengths” Settra: “Well One I’m Immortal, two I have great leadership qualities, and three I always question a bad idea my superiors” Interviewer: “Ok I don’t fully understand that last one, but you got the job so glad you will be working FOR US” Settra: “I DO NOT SERVE” -proceeds to commit mass murder-
I have not played any TOTAL WAR game and yet I find these noob guides to be some of the most entertaining videos on TH-cam. Thank you for your hard work, humor, and creativity.
Honestly, PancreasNoWork was completely right. The tomb kings as characters are all more successful and competent as characters than any of the elves, wizards, and Ainur/Gods ever were. "I'm and undead skeleton that respawns now?" Oh well, better get back at it. Why would I just loiter around all millennia, especially when there's things that need doing?" Before any one says anything like "The Wizards were meant to be guides and aid with fixing the problem, not solving everyone's problems for them," "the elves only get involved when the matter to the Dark Lord was too big to ignore or are keepers and preservers of the natural world and only act if it's threatened," or "the Ainur don't involve themselves with the affairs of the world unless there are absolutely, positively, without a doubt, no other options available..." ...It's just as Pancreas said, consider that someone like Settra would not have ever allowed things to get to that point in the first place. He would *Intervene* and solve the problem before at became a problem.
When Settra returns as a full fledged god… Settra: “Oh you’re a god, alright. Just not a capital “G” god.” Literally everyone else: “Yeah, what’s the difference?” Settra: “PRESENTATION!”
The jokes in the video are still accurate. You use tons of useless infantry to soak up the damage while you roll around and murder them all on Settra's God chariot.
@@codybonds good pointers for sure i was hoping this might be like a Legend vid and break down the campaign map as well. Bretonians keep ending my campaigns. Im super aggressive but i get the feeling you need to wait and not set up too many other cities
TBH I come back to this video about every few months just to listen to the last minute of it because it is so damn well narated, and also it's just an incredibly cool moment in WH (arguably the best of the End Times). Also that audible smirk when Cody says "Settra does not swerve" will always put a smile on my face.
Honestly, if Settra put on the One Ring of Sauron or one of the 9 rings of Men, it would have done nothing. Or at least he would throw it away upon learning something or someone was trying to control him. And then hunt down Sauron for having the audacity to try and make Settra his pawn because Settra does not serve, Settra Rules.
Settra: *puts on the One Ring* The Ring: "Listen to me. I can and will give you all you have ever wanted. All you need to do is heed me." Eru: "Do not listen to the voice. It is using you. Join my forces and serve a cause greater than yourself. Fulfill a purpose greater than anything you can image." And in return for your services, I will send you home. Settra: "Silence, Plebians! Settra Does Not serve, Settra RULES!" Sauron: *senses Settras willpower, arrogance, and stubbornness* 0.0 *nervous* "Ha ha, I'm in danger." Eru: *visible confusion* The elven ring bearers when they sense Settra putting on the ring: *Start crapping bricks*
This image of this paper thin skeleton man doom slayering his way through an army of chaos demons as the world explodes is both the funniest shit ever and the most kick ass thing eve

10 years later or more Settra came back and with a giant army charged across the Northern Chaos Wastes wiping out tribes of savages and other creatures including a giant Dragon Ogre until he finally got every single peace of stolen treasure back and killed off all those who were involved in the raid + a few thousands more. :)
Bought the DLC for huge huge scorpion and towering puppy constructs. Stayed because of the badassery of this singular imperrishable King.
9:46 "CHARGE AT FULL SPEED!"
9:47 "STOP AND WALK TOWARDS THEM AT A MEDIUM PACE!"
The Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference killed me.
"Upon realising that the world was too large to be conquered in one lifetime, Settra went full-blown midlife crisis. He bought a Dodge Challenger, started doing CrossFit, and opened up a craft brewery."
I love the narration in these videos 😂😂😂
First time I played Tomb Kings in TWW I played Settra and at one point I had a battle where 10,000 soldiers died. TK v TK is a grind. That battle involved 3 or 4 armies on both sides and lasted four several hours. Afterwards my enemies laid dead at the feet of Settra the Imperishable and his remaining 1000 soldiers out of like 6000. It was nuts, I'd love to do it again, but I really don't want to do it again.
I 150% see Settra saying to Nagash "one moment please these dickheads just told me to serve them" as he turns and starts charging at the chaos gods
Play a settra
campaign right now in preparation
DISAPPOINTED no "this is the best chariot IN THE WORLD" 1/10 top gear montage
I recorded the line but my wife told me I sounded Australian.
@@codybonds As an Australian I'm gonna have to say that no one who's not Australian ever sounds Australian
@@primarchxvi9492 Her exact quote was "Your accent is all over the place. At one point you sounded Australian."
@@primarchxvi9492 Even us Australians don't sound Australian half the time
@@codybonds my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
The state visit between Setra and Daenarys lasted three weeks. Most of that time was spend on the formal introduction.
Settra actually (kinda) returned in an AoS novel where Settrus of the Imperishables is mentioned as a leader of a chamber of Stormcast Eternals who have a paticular grudge against Nagash and all of his undead minions.
and then he exploded trying to stop Mannfreds schemes
@@DamosLexicon to be fair stormcast can just come back, Bless Sigmar
Mannfred said it was an insult to the god king of nehekhara that a stormcast that PALED in comparison shared a name wkth him
@@sev1120 basically a "How dare you stand where he stood?!"
Oh, no, the best part is GW actually said no to that being Settra. They allowed a reference, but they insist they have plans.
Finally our champion has arrived all bow to Settra the first and true king of Nehekhara!!!!!
"Settra does not swerve" is the best thing I ever heard
I can almost hear Majorkill yelling from here...
He actually left a comment. XD
11:18 Monty Python Reference 10/10
To be fair nagash tried to enslave all of the respective tomb kings but alcadizzar and the skaven punked him before he could finish the ritual.
... That's right the *SKAVEN* were that afraid of nagash that they worked with a man-thing to stop him, even empowering him through a ritual that fed off their own strength.
Granted, if Nagash lost they would get the unsnorted remains of cripple peak, but still.
Tomb Kings were actually what convinced me to buy, and enjoy, TW Warhammer. I'll admit up through 2020 I was a historical purist. But seeing just how badass Settra and the aesthetic of the tomb kings got me in. Thanks for putting him in the light for me
It should be noted that it took the combined might of Nagash, Neferata, Arkhan, Mannfried, Drachenfels, and the Skaven blowing up the black pyramids to actually *stop* Settra. Not kill him, merely stop him.
Well there's my motivation to stay up for the next 2 hours
If you're in a European time zone, I do apologise. It's my only available time to be available for live chats.
@@codybonds aww shucks its no bother really :).
Also definitely do Mannfred next. I'm soooooooooo curious whether you'll do some Nakai style appreciation or a Harkon style dunking.
Gave a like just for "Settra does not swerve."
Say what you will about AoS, the fact that Sigmar apparently felt the need to rez Settra as a Stormcast, and give him an entire army called "the Imperishables" to screw with Nagash tells you that either Settra was that badass, or Sigmar really had a crush on the guy.
not canon
Manfred told him that he'd be dead already if he were facing the real Settra
SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE
Dude that Top Gear montage, capped with "Settra does not swerve" is golden. Have a sub.
Interviewer: “So Settra what are some of your strengths”
Settra: “Well One I’m Immortal, two I have great leadership qualities, and three I always question a bad idea my superiors”
Interviewer: “Ok I don’t fully understand that last one, but you got the job so glad you will be working FOR US”
Settra: “I DO NOT SERVE” -proceeds to commit mass murder-
One problem with this comment: Settra has no superiors. He doesn’t even have any equals.
"Settra does not swerve" must be one of the greates pun in Warhammer Fantasy history.
11:07 Don't go thinking I missed that Monty Python reference lol. Well played and great vid
I left that one for the truly cultured viewers.
Bruh all those titles
They just KEPT GOING. I had to stop for water at one point and went to lie down for a nap when they were done.
Cody Bonds lol
Settra had a guy whose entire job was to remember his many titles.
@@andrewmcclean823 Several guys actually. Some of them died or were killed when they fucked up.
In lore it takes over 4 hours to list them all
That was the best segue into an ad ever
ASMR : Reading all Settra's full titles for your imperishable pleasure. 😂
Settra is good at everything, with a few notable exceptions, such as:
-being a waiter
-playing tennis
-being an enlisted member of the military
I have not played any TOTAL WAR game and yet I find these noob guides to be some of the most entertaining videos on TH-cam. Thank you for your hard work, humor, and creativity.
Step aside Tolkien, there’s a new king of the land. And he’s making all your ruler characters look pathetic by simply existing.
Honestly, PancreasNoWork was completely right. The tomb kings as characters are all more successful and competent as characters than any of the elves, wizards, and Ainur/Gods ever were.
"I'm and undead skeleton that respawns now?" Oh well, better get back at it. Why would I just loiter around all millennia, especially when there's things that need doing?" Before any one says anything like "The Wizards were meant to be guides and aid with fixing the problem, not solving everyone's problems for them," "the elves only get involved when the matter to the Dark Lord was too big to ignore or are keepers and preservers of the natural world and only act if it's threatened," or "the Ainur don't involve themselves with the affairs of the world unless there are absolutely, positively, without a doubt, no other options available..."
...It's just as Pancreas said, consider that someone like Settra would not have ever allowed things to get to that point in the first place. He would *Intervene* and solve the problem before at became a problem.
SAHCK IT FOR SETTRA!! Love the content man absolutely love it all, can't wait
Really fun video, plenty of good jokes that land well and great editing. Really enjoyed it.
Then you're in luck as there's a whole series of them!
@@codybonds I'm really enjoying them. Watching as I play some TWWH2 :-)
When Settra returns as a full fledged god…
Settra: “Oh you’re a god, alright. Just not a capital “G” god.”
Literally everyone else: “Yeah, what’s the difference?”
Settra: “PRESENTATION!”
The titles playing away in in the background through the whole video absolutely slayed me, good job lmao
Love the Monty Python reference, Holy Grail all the way!
The image of settra only dying because the entire world fucking exploded is hysterical 😂
That Top Gear bit was fantastic lol. Very well done, it was spot on. ^^
I love how you sprinkle memes and references into your content
Came to learn how to play SETTRA, laughed the skin off my bones, now I'm serving as an undead in his army, still don't know how to play SETTRA
The jokes in the video are still accurate. You use tons of useless infantry to soak up the damage while you roll around and murder them all on Settra's God chariot.
@@codybonds good pointers for sure i was hoping this might be like a Legend vid and break down the campaign map as well. Bretonians keep ending my campaigns. Im super aggressive but i get the feeling you need to wait and not set up too many other cities
@@michaelhansen5662 exactly right. Are you on vortex or mortal empires?
@@codybonds mortal
@@michaelhansen5662 he gets stuck on both sides in mortal. Only take what you can defend at first. Slow expansion.
You have top notch writing. Perfect balance between informative and funny af. Thank you
Love the titles going on in the background while the video still plays out.
The goddamn monty python skit, this video should be immortalized like settra's rule
TBH I come back to this video about every few months just to listen to the last minute of it because it is so damn well narated, and also it's just an incredibly cool moment in WH (arguably the best of the End Times).
Also that audible smirk when Cody says "Settra does not swerve" will always put a smile on my face.
godlike,that was truely entertaining narration of a deserving story,i watched and listened to the end and i dare say it was a remarkable job my man !
Thank you for including all of our lords titles. Ptra bless
This is brilliant Cody, well done. you deserve more credit
We need to petition CA to officially hire you as their DLC promoter, you explain each faction/lord with both witt and lore !!
3 years later, he gets early access to Chaos Dwarfs and makes videos on the lords before the DLC is even out
This is quality stuff! I have been binge watching these all night!
Settra was so powerfull he could've actually stopped Age of Sigmar. Damn you Chaos Gods! SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE!
I don't know why, but I love the shots of Settra slowly strutting towards the camera with a slow drumroll. LMFAO😂😂😂
It's an old joke from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
" SETTRA the IMPERISHABLE" I don't know but... that dude looks a bit perished to me...
STOP right there. Settra is still a marvelous version of the human figure anybody who claims otherwise ends up without his head or organs.
Honestly, if Settra put on the One Ring of Sauron or one of the 9 rings of Men, it would have done nothing. Or at least he would throw it away upon learning something or someone was trying to control him. And then hunt down Sauron for having the audacity to try and make Settra his pawn because Settra does not serve, Settra Rules.
Settra: *puts on the One Ring*
The Ring: "Listen to me. I can and will give you all you have ever wanted. All you need to do is heed me."
Eru: "Do not listen to the voice. It is using you. Join my forces and serve a cause greater than yourself. Fulfill a purpose greater than anything you can image." And in return for your services, I will send you home.
Settra: "Silence, Plebians! Settra Does Not serve, Settra RULES!"
Sauron: *senses Settras willpower, arrogance, and stubbornness* 0.0 *nervous* "Ha ha, I'm in danger."
Eru: *visible confusion*
The elven ring bearers when they sense Settra putting on the ring: *Start crapping bricks*
This videos get better and better, I cnnot wait for the next one.
Settra is who I want to live my life like. Pure ego fueled glory in an attempt to spite death. What a fucking badass.
“Settra’s thing is chariots” Surtha Elk: Am I a joke to you?
Never knew I needed a Settra Top Gear montage in my life. *SETTRA DOES NOT SWERVE*
You have by far my favorite warhammer content, always happy to see your videos in my feed, keep the nice work man!
Another great Noobs guide I hope to see Mannfred von Carstein aka the Mannlet next cause everyone knows he always will come 2nd to Settra
THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT. Screw von douchedom for ruining Warhammer fantasy.
Yes I have been waiting for this for so long, thank you!
This video is so good, I, actually, see the ad, without skipping it. Impressive.
The top gear montage killed me. This was great. XD
This image of this paper thin skeleton man doom slayering his way through an army of chaos demons as the world explodes is both the funniest shit ever and the most kick ass thing eve
11:06 I never even noticed the Monty Python reference there! That's hilarious!
Settra is LITERALY what i want the Emperor to BECOME. A ZERO FUCKS given badass that ballstomps anyone stupid enough to get in his way.
Dude these have gotten a lot better 8/10 thanks for the laugh
Kroq gar becomes Setras new mount and rides into the chaos realms a few days later Khorne is found crying on a beach blubbering about how violent it is in the chaos realms now XD
Damn, that PartyElite joke lmao
Great job on the video Cody
"Dismisser of the Warrior Queen, Charioteer of the Gods, He Who Does Not Serve" have to be three of the most flamboyant titles a man can aspire to.
IDK why but that pc screen light demo with your fam was super funny to me, thanks dude
I figure if you're gonna shill it might as well be funny. Though that lamp hasn't worked the same since. The baby knocked the hell out of it in one take.
Always a relief to mow down skellies before moving on to more serious enemies.
Just realizing you are two minutes in and still listing the titles in the background - announcing this King in an important meeting must have been a challenge.
So good- love these. Keep them up!
I had to watch it twice to see if there was any funny business pulled in the title-reading.
Gotta say, I wasn't disappointed.
