I can totally picture a "Vermintide" game with lizardmen characters fighting the waves of chaos. There are enough lizardmen characters to do so : Nakaï, Gor Rok, Kroq Gar, Tehenhauin and Oxyotl, and with how strong lizardmen are, making them fight against chaos legions or even daemons wouldn't be too farfetched. Damn, now I want a game like that so bad >

[@lucasriley874]

It's odd to see how much chaos has been watered down in every new edition over the years. Chaos warriors used to be 8foot tall psychotic, insane killing machines covered in random hideous mutations, extra arms or legs, spitting poison, tentacles and scorpion tails or giant claws instead of hands ect ect. Wearing rune encrusted magic armour that grows out of their bodies to replace their skin as 'chaos gifts' so they can fight endlessly for thousands of years (time is a bit wierd up near the chaos gates). Now they're just edgelord normal humans cosplaying in spiky armour. The vid is really good but it's a shame to see what used to be the ultimate enemy faction for everyone is now so much less than it was... it's not grimdark or horror anymore but comic relief.

[@teroslarone1171]

​@@lucasriley874 You're overestimating what hcaos warriors are and were especially when compared to what the're facing here. The only one that has a bit of an over the top performance is Tehenhauine but than again he could have just unloaded on them with magic. The rest are pretty much doing what is expected of them. As for Grimdark and Horror those concept work from a human perspective and in a sense of the grand scheme of things. But on a small scale for a story to be told there must be hope or at least purpouse to drive things forward. Not that fantasy was heavy on the grimdark since there were clear signs of progress among the good factions.

[@jamesfisher3505]

[@knighttemplaroftentacult7123]

@@nickname1969 Nothing really is. The plaques are a bunch of cryptic drawings. You can make whatever sense you want out of them. That's why lizzardmen are not considered as a fully functioning society or intelligent race by other races of Warhammer Fantasy. They are considered just as monsters. They don't even think in the way we think. The closest thing you can describe any lizardman is - semi autonomous bio-drone. He has his function, he don't knows or wants to know anything else, he sees to that function done and goes back to waiting orders in a standby mode. Skinks are smarter that that, though.

[@trueandfact]

@@knighttemplaroftentacult7123 Those are Kroxigors mate. Skinks are way intelligent, they are the craftsmen, tamers and priests of lizardmen society. Of course the Slann transcend human intelligence and are constantly doing 4D Chess. Saurus are probably human child to human teen level of intelligence with some tactical masterminds found in their legendary lords. And dinos be dinos.

[@ZugzugZugzugson]

i love how when they fight its like a synchronized dance as well as brutal efficiency. shows the sort of primal "hive mind" that lizardmen share quite well. they are selfless to the point where they have no problem jumping in front of a cannon ball to save another lizardman or even a different race if there's even a decimal of a percent chance that it serves the 'great plan'.

[@stanboyd1]

its not a hivemind, yes the slaan can communicate telepathically, but the others don't, and if a lizard so chooses he doesn't have to obey. Heck Nakai just randomly appears a few hours before a chaos invasion of a temple and sometimes the slaan don't even know its coming until Nakai just shows up, then once the battle is over the skinks adorn him with golden trinkets and he disappears again not to be seen until he sees another fight worth fighting, hence why they call him The Wanderer.

[@ZugzugZugzugson]

@@stanboyd1i know its not literally a hive mind, which is why i used quotation marks. i don't know how else to describe it.

In the Lore every faction is so powerful. The Lizardmen are strong. But not so strong that they will have 0 problems with Chaos-Warriors like this.

This wasn't lore friendly, though. Cool and fun to watch, but not lore friendly. Chaos Warriors are possessed of Super Human power and would give Lizard Men a good fight.

This was basically the Seraphon when all the other forces of order ran. Sorus Old Blood: "Okay, on to the next sector!"

[@sneedchuck4062]

Someone on 4chan reported this to GW for copywrite infringement and posted extensive proof of reporting it on the Total War general to troll or something, just a heads up

[@Bakensobek]

Most likely some idiot jealous that they would never be able to make something as amazing as this.

[@bojanbrkic863]

If this is true, imagine what your life looks like that you're that much of a turd. Also imagine what a turd someone at GW would have to be, to copy strike this, instead of realising what an amazing piece of free marketing this is that they never paid for.

[@lachlanhirst5499]

Not gonna lie, I don't know much about the Warhammer universe other than total war, and this has put the Lizardmen in a new light and actually gave them a shot on the game, and all I can say is, Thank you Sir, I look forward to seeing more of your amazing work!

[@davidwong239]

That was really impressive. Looking forward to seeing more of this kind of content.

[@platypusbuk]

that disarm then thrust was so perfect. Your animations are fantastic! The crushed head, the smashed in head etc... all so good!

[@milomany1614]

Saw this posted on reddit and HAD to say…keep up the work man. This is good shit.

[@matthewbrasel2737]

Well done. I thought this was a cut scene I missed from total war, then I saw in the comments that you made this. The Halo music went really well with it

[@majorkill]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@batanggalinggubat6254]

Mmmmm daddy majorkill~

[@some00751]

i was wondering when you would watch this

[@legus9684]

Probably the best Warhammer animation I've ever seen, and one of the best animations all around.

[@phaylinnyx8943]

Anxiously awaiting whatever you do next. Absolutely love this.

[@terrynewsome6698]

In old speak "Fear not for we do stand. For we have held the walls of city's the saw the rise of men. For we were their to see the doors of hell open, and slammed shut. For we saw the vermin tide rise, and broke it. For when the guns of men, arrows of elves, and runes of dwarfs failed, we did not. Fear not, for we stand with you!!!"

[@JRBDWD]

Beautiful

[@dientimuri3956]

Incredible animation! This is so smoothly animated, it looks professional. Having this many legendary lords together would be a wrecking crew, and I love how easily they crush the chaos warriors. Always good to see Chaos in full retreat.

[@JabbaFanzz]

I have never seen a Total War animation of this quality..i got goosebumps every 5 seconds. Thanks so much for this work of art.

[@MrSockret1]

Coolest thing I have seen in a long time, awesome work! Would love to see more, especially with some of the other races.

[@opusmagnus26]

Imagine all of the races' leaders teaming up to face off against the Chaostide of Chaos Warriors, Norscans, and Beastmen... THAT. Would. Be. AWESOME!

[@darkbunny9994]

That was absolutely incredible. The level of quality was cinema-grade at least. Thank you for making this amazing video.

[@matiasmattera6650]

Okay, this is just FUCKING AWESOME!!! PLEASE DO DWARFS NEXT!!! I'll fucking pay you to see an animated dwarven shieldwall holding the line against hordes of skaven.

[@jakewu8268]

Oh yeah

[@acmaiden5236]

how much would you pay? Cause if he did that on his own, we're probly looking at 6 months of work xD

[@1748paul]

Yeah. It's going to cost you a small fortune if you want paying me to make animation like this.

[@1748paul]

If you are still interested, send me a email. I will consider it.

[@escapevelocity6185]

yo this is amazing, the cinematography alone is amazing and the animation gives them so much character.

[@abyssaldragonslayer4389]

So incredibly awesome! You just got a sub from me :) I love everything about this video, the Lizardmen have always been my favorite. I thought it was funny how Gor-Rok was ready to take on the giant when Kroq-Gar steps in and is like "let Grymloq handle this," and Gor-Rok just shakes his head as if he's thinking "show off!"

[@dimtar3884]

I also love the detail of Tenahanuin just sitting down to enjoy the show!

[@Woldemar94]

ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL what fluidity in the movements, i really enjoyed how it doesnt feel clunky at all

[@shadowrobot7708]

This looks really good, personally I like when battles aren't one sided but their is a certain charm to watching a one sided fight.

[@sjonnieplayfull5859]

With this much legendary lords together, the outcome was set from the start. Still, I do agree.

[@taw386]

VERY cool. Well animated, lots of character in the combatants' body language, and I rarely see lizardmen presented in this light. Bonus points for the Nakai-Tehenhauin fastball special, which is something I never imagined I'd see!

[@redsalamander9999]

Best Warhammer fantasy animation I've ever seen. And with my favourite faction no less! Keep it up, we need more of this!

[@arcadius2569]

Dude, 3 minutes and 50 seconds of clean, great-looking, well-timed animation? You have my absolute respect. Especially when you had the four of 'em fighting simultaneously in slow-mo. The beats for their attacks felt sooo good. Well done!

[@alphaironheart]

This is amazing, I love the Lizardmen alot and I highly recommend trying to read up on as much lore to help you make your awesome animations, from what I've seen here you did great! Keep up the good work, and I highly recommend setting up a patreon to help you pay your bills while providing more outstanding work.

[@peateargriffin9932]

This is absolutely stupendous work, the animation is gorgeous, and the action is well paced and timed too perfection, with the comedy bits being very well done, and the fact that everyone gets an almost equal amount of time to be badass makes me very happy. Great work! I also love seeing the Lizardmen defend the empire citizens, it’s nice to see them be, you know, good.

[@CT-Clone]

This was truly beautiful! It really shows the strength of the Lizardmen, even compared to fully armored Chaos Warriors who normally can decimate entire regiments and are only outmatched by Chosen and demons, but here they were wiped like a regiment of spearmen or men at arms! And those DELICIOUS kills that were performed! And then the affection shown to Grymloq were also just beautiful along with the takedown of the Giant! The way they interact with each other also showcases how the different types of Lizardmen usually act, with the Kroxigor being ready to just try and fight the giant, showcasing their brawn ober brains approach to things and the Skink just sitting down, showing their intelligence! I can't wait to see what you have in store in the future!

[@jog2243]

That wasn't a kroxigor, it was Gor-Rok. He's a massive saurus champion. One of my favorites
