Baroness Character Trope: "A female baddie with a chilly disposition and more than a touch of the dominatrix about her. In Darker and Edgier versions, this means a love of other people's pain and suffering. Naturally, she'll sport a German or Eastern European accent, along with either a natty military uniform or something black and form-fitting. Whether or not she's vulnerable to good-guy seduction and subversion is highly variable. However, she's invariably attracted to power which the Big Bad has in spades."

There's a Warhammer novel collection centered around a young vampire called Guinevere and it covered the "coming back as a corpse" thing.

Actually Cody the models for Vlad and Mannfred are based on models that came out during the Seventh Edition, not the Eighth. I can't remember when Isabella's current model came out. I know it was after Vlad's because it was weird that Vlad got a new model but not Isabella but I don't remember if it came out with the 8E VC release or before that. As for Vlad's face, it's due to the fact that in WFB, vampires' faces are that of inhuman predators. They have to actively force their faces into normal human forms, an act of will that they have no reason to maintain during battle. Or in other words, an excuse for GW to have monster faces on their vampire models despite those like the von Carsteins and Lahmians cloaking themselves among mortals.

That poem was mwah! Chef's kiss. Btw, about Vlad's effed up face, actually all vampires carry with them their scars and ravages of time and become more and more monstrous the stronger they get, because of the winds of Necromancy coursing through them. They can reverse these effects by concentrating to look beautiful and by drinking copious amounts of blood. Vlad looked beautiful when he wanted to, terrifying when he wanted to. I agree this is an End Times tidybit, and that whole shebang can go away, but that was not the worst thing they did.

Last I remember, Isabella was resurrected during the End Times by the forces of Chaos. Demon possessed I believe. It is said that, during their fight, Vlad, not wanting to duel with his wife, pushed them both to their deaths(just like Harry did to Voldemort but, y'know, less magic traveling teleportation and shit) and as they both fell, he took off his Von Carstein Ring and placed it in her finger. They both died by.... well, regular vampire style. Something pierces their heart. Vlad died, and the demon left her, but Isabella regenerated, and came to. I forgot what happens next, but she is rescued by the first Vampire lady, Nehfethara or something. She's brought to a castle where that hot tomb kings lady legendary lord is also there, Nehfethara's cousin I believe. There she stays, and awaits the end of the world.

Thats because sylvania wasnt a homeland to one of the original 12 tribes of men that formed the empire, being settled and added later. Vlad did become an elector count, but only hundreds of years after his defeat, after being resurrected by nagash during the end times he struck a deal with kurt helborg to help defend the empire against chaos if he was made an elector. 15 minutes later the planet exploded.

I read somewhere at some point, (probably GW trying to fix their rapid change or a Fanfic turned urban legend) that Vampires (at least the VoN Carsteins, Lahmians and Bloood Dragons) can alter their appearance depending on the situation. lahmian Vampires as such will look pretty and desirable when embedded in a foreign Court, and turn spiketeethed monstrosity when attacked, Vlad would keep his fancy face but switch to his Corpseface during battle (reason the von carsteins dont wear helmets) to Scare their Human Enemies. Canon or not aside i find that to fit in with the vampire mythos and fitting for warhammer aswell.

I’m pretty sure The Spiffing Brit played as her and was able to get an army of just hero units. Afterwards he used a gold exploit to fuel the legions of dead that followed.

I need to working on the pacing between jokes. I could pause between them that feels like adding a laugh track. As is, I enjoy that people can watch them multiple times and pick up on new things.

The model in game might be Vlad after he got resurrected by Nagash in the Endtimes. It would be appropriate I think.

Nice vid! Next time you speak with CA, could you ask them whether they’re considering putting the total war series on any streaming services like GeForce now? I’ve been off total war for a few years cause of a lack of strong hardware, also since it’s really difficult to get a decent gpu now I think a lot of people would appreciate TWW3 on a streaming service. Thanks :)
