Sponsored by an evil corporation trying to spread more body image issues to men. Yikes.

[@Nightmare_52]

going into negative money per turn is the khorne way because it turns the number red

[@pocket_sand6645]

because you're BLEEDING money, and Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows

[@TuanNguyen-of8rr]

my arbaal campaign at turn 82 i have over 1m money 😂. income -16k/turn

[@adriankoch964]

because brain damage from having no more skull to protect brain.

[@De_Wit]

And because its red, the money goes faster!

[@kamekazi1123]

​@@De_WitNo that's Orks brother

[@ubern00dle243]

I'm still new to TW:WH3, so going from Cathay to Skarbrand was tough for me. I restarted a couple of times and just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and why it didn't feel right. Then I realized that I was trying to play him like an economy based faction. So I turtled up too much and tried to maximize income, which is the worst way to play Skarbrand and Khorne in general. When I stopped worrying about going into the negative, protecting territory, and needing to see a full stack for an army it all clicked. I'm having TONS of fun just wandering the map, razing and spawning bloodhosts against whatever faction I happen to bump into. So, if you're new like me and struggling in the same way definitely follow Legend's advice here and you'll see the difference immediately.

[@JohnDoe-wv7ep]

11 units in S tier?! Khorne would be pleased.

[@МаксимГригорьев-ъ7ф]

Isn't 8 Khortne's number? (And 11 is Malal the Non-Canon)

[@ObiadStudio]

11 is the sacred number of Nuffle, the Chaos God of Sport, patron of the Bloodbowl! That's why there's 11 players from each team on the pitch

[@augustusfren133]

just started a valkia playthrough yesterday and the mechanic that lets you upgrade units and switch them from normal chaos to khorne and vice-versa is easily one of my favorites in the whole game. I don't think I ever killed malekringe so fast as I did with her.

[@TheRedAzuki]

I always add the mod that gives that to other factions because of this.

[@eewweeppkk]

Yeah that warriors of chaos mechanic is one of the best campaign mechanics in the series. I would not be upset if they utilize that mechanic across most armies in their future titles.

[@marcgw496]

The warband recruitment and upgrade system is awesome. Actually gives you reason to be excited about units gaining XP, and makes you a little more invested in the survival of your units. I’d love to see it be implemented with Bretonnia’s knights especially

[@gudboah4688]

I thought you’d couldn’t remove chaos marks from units?

[@12345DJay]

Total War taught me that red number on top of screen bad, green number good. Khorne showed me the truth.

[@todie]

I am a simple man, i see a legend tier list, i press like

[@Cleanrotknight456]

Same.

[@jongwookim7341]

Ogres, my lord

[@Morgformer]

Sinple

[@vvbr2372]

As Arbaal I like to keep a lord in my capital to recruit units that take more than 1 turn, that way I can tp back to base, get the army I want and tp back into the fight the next turn

[@davidthane9002]

Well Arbaal gets -1 global recruitment time as well, so he can get 1 Turn global recruit really easy ^^'

[@eewweeppkk]

With Arbaal's -1 to global recruitment and his TP being a once per turn restriction, isn't that basically the same?

[@vvbr2372]

@eewweeppkk depends if I want some cannons, or I need exalted bloodlethers or other such units

[@Archer3051]

I feel like Legend needs to do a "first ~30 turns" series of videos for various factions, especially if they have a difficult start or play differently than 'standard' factions. Did an Arbaal campaign recently that felt a lot slower to develop than the Skulltaker that he shows here, wondering if that's normal.

[@shadden_x]

I do like to play Khorne when I just wanna turn off my brain and have fun. Easy mode

[@TheDuemaster]

Yeah, might try it. Throt, Azazel and azhag have been ruining my Katarin campaign…holding by a thread

[@JayDragon7]

I have been finding it interesting like... Learning how good a unit is simply from performance, rather than stats, and what you use them for. Like I actually really like flesh hounds, but I don't use them the way I would chaos warhounds. I like to use them as an early hammer for my anvils because they're fast, they hit like a train, attack fast. I have seen them get like 500 kills in a battle against a lot of saurus early on (This is VH/VH). And I have them collapse a flank fast. And then with Karanak, I have had a single unit of them take out very valuable large targets by themselves. And i spent some time learning like... The value of animation, too. Like the mortals with dual axes, they attack a LOT faster than the shielded units and that factors into how fast they chew through infantry. Even if without armour piercing. It's something I learned about how strong the Saurus scar-veteran is, too. On the carnosaur, their attack animation is crazy fast and I've had them beat the shit out of Skulltaker and Arbaal because they keep staggering and getting chunked.

[@icaindianen]

Khorne could really use some ways of adding flame weakness. Like a technology that gives some units flammable attacks. Maybe some hero abilities.

[@constantin1100]

Great video Legend! I enjoy Khorne the most out of every faction, it's always nice to be able to move a lot every turn and not caring about ambushes or how many people you are at war with is also very nice adn therapheutic if I can say so :)))

[@Cleanrotknight456]

"Snorting blood" was before. But I agree, they're awesome. I put Scylla in the army of them and they wreck everything.

[@shagGus100]

To be honest, I think that Exalted Bloodletters should be at the same tier as standard version. Its simply the fact that you can have shitloads of them in your spawn armies so you dont have to recruit them and they deliver much more value. But I agree with the rest. Keep up the good work.

[@eewweeppkk]

I feel like rating units on the basis of how they appear in bloodhosts is kind of pointless, though. It's all free and the most control we have over it is just adding more units to the pile. At best rating them at that pint is just going to help people determine what they may want to do on an in-battle situation...and since its Khorne, the correct option is to click on your unit and then click on the enemy unit. I see these tierlists more as a way to help newer players decide what to focus on working towards in terms of what they want to recruit to their armies and doomstack late game.

[@lexmortis5722]

Exalted Blood letters are the superior Blood letters, so instead of healing my very damaged normal Bloodletters over 2 turns while I have max Bloodletting, I use global recruitment to switch them out for Exalted ones over these 2 turns, all of them over time. Makes no sense to me why you would heal normal Bloodletters instead of switching them out, since rank 9 normal Bloodletters are worse in all stats except speed than exalted ones.

[@persiancarpet5535]

Max Bloodletting: -2 global recruitment. Ex. Bloodletters take 4 Turns to recruit globally. Unless you use Arbaal, that doesn't work out.

[@38crippler]

Few fun things about Khorngors since they're being slightly disrespected. Their becoming unbreakable should reset their pair of basically frenzy abilities which means they keep those buffs going for longer. Their speed plus Vanguard deployment means you can use them for flanking and in general just getting stuck into melee faster, similar to the dog and fury units except they don't die nearly as fast when they get stuck in. Khorngors have twice the base charge bonus as well, which when combined with their pair of charge boosting while high leadership abilities (for at least the first 22 seconds of a fight) and their higher entity count (plus more weapon range but I think that's just to make their high entity count not a downside) they'll end up putting out quite a bit of damage faster and earlier than warriors with halberds will. Most importantly I think though, is that they can be recruited from a daemon settlement, which means you won't need to spend the minor amount of time and favor to change a small daemon settlement to a mortal one when playing Skulltaker and Skarbrand. Making it the earliest source of Anti Large you can reasonably get. Overall C isn't a bad spot to put them (personally I'd call them B) but I think it's worth noting they have more advantages over the Warriors with Halbards then just their ability to walk faster. Regardless of if this changes anyone's minds I appreciate the content.

[@guffi00]

I really like you updating your tier lists, thank you!

[@lexmortis5722]

Exalted Bloodletters are actually S+ and the GOAT, just recruit them on max bloodletting with global recruit when you are healing your base bloodletters. No turns wasted, only profits made, better units on the field.

[@omletinaomletina9430]

I want open an organization, defending chaos spawns. Send us free boosts and help our young chaos spawns to survive in rough world, also you could adopt spawn you financially help, and replace one of your family members, who don't boost bloodletting enough or way above for their upkeep

[@Armageddan]

I'll broadly agree with this. The only difference I think I'll take is on flesh hounds, which are great for more than just running down routing enemies... their ability to intercept enemy cav or blitz in on enemy ranged units and survive the encounter gives them excellent versatility, enough that I think it's worth keeping 2 of them in an army.

[@jeffbunnell9961]

they are fantastic in blood hosts but I don't really recruit them outside of that

[@nimche1]

Im waiting for Ogre and Greenskins new unit rooster as well. thank you Legend

[@infestissumam5422]

Ever since the skull cannon got updated with the vortex projectiles, they've become one of my favorite units in the khorne roster. if you have around 8 of them you can delete all infantry in the opponents army instantly, but you'll need some units to defend them against cavalry and single entities.

[@gingersroc]

The slaughterbrute being A tier here was the most surprising thing. They are a C or D unit to my eye.

[@strangestecho5088]

Did you play them at launch when their damage was bugged? They're pretty good now. You just can't throw them into a blob without any support, but that's true for most monstrous units.

[@sixspense794]

Hell yes. Been waiting on this update roster vid. Been using Arrball the undefeated

[@xHarra81x]

Nice timing! I just started new Khorne campaign.

[@punishedbutler3013]

Really hated my first Skulltaker campaign for the first 50 odd turns but once I got Uber aggressive and started piling skulls and razing I really liked it.

[@Manslayer-eo1nh]

Khorne is all about aggression. Always be fighting, looting and killing. No rest, only slaughter

[@Chummy8]

My favorite way to play Arbaal is to conquer the first region only. Then, you just teleport Arbaal all over the map murdering fools until you win a long victory around turn 70. If you need healing or more units, teleport back to your capital. His starting area is fairly safe to leave undefended, as long as you're friendly with the neighbors.

[@hacc7657]

Legend dropped a new tier list! This is it boys

[@MorganF729]

I have been waiting for this one.. thank you Legend! ;)

[@elnilso7242]

Pls update more of those tier list! 👏

[@stevengull6703]

I find the flesh hounds of khorne work well as a doom stack for early-mid game skarbrand. He's perfect alone and so what I do is I use Skarbrand as a chariot smashing their general army then have the flesh hounds pick off isolated units or break the enemy army when they're running out of steam. Skarbrand alone is a lot of balance of power to where a huge portion of the enemy will focus him but other units try to hunt down the hounds and it makes for a great way to blitz through battles.

[@R3GARnator]

Having 4 lords go to a sack city or two is also a convenient way to farm good defeat traits.

[@nobodyimportant6582]

Finished a Skulltaker run just a couple days ago. I wiped out the Empire, Kislev, Ulthual, and half of Naggarond in one turn. I got the long campaign victory and domination victory on turn 55 from that...

[@archon144]

At the end of the day, flesh hounds are large units and have to contend with knockdown, whereas doggos are 'actually' trustworthy at chasing down routers. Slap a rampager or razer standard on them and enjoy the carnage.

[@sim.frischh9781]

The biggest advantage to the Khorngors seems to be their Vanguard deployment, that certainly allows for some interesting tactical options, but it is not enough to put the unit clearly over others in the roster. However they DO look cool, not much, but, hey, it´s something. Skullcannons are FUN, shoot the enemy at long range, then rush in to replenish ammo, rinse and repeat until every enemy unit is GONE XD

[@TheBoxGhost_tm]

I wish the Chaos Knights with lances had something more enticing than extra charge bonus at the cost of less melee defense. Maybe some bonus vs large?

[@bigsadge747]

kinda wished it'd say they would demolish the mortal/demon buildings when u build the portal/settlement

[@Balorian]

LegendofTotalWar legendary tier lists! Epic!

[@alotosius]

Top tier video Legend.

[@ondrejizakovic7564]

I would love to see updated geenskins unit roster tier list as they have lot of new units.

[@spacehitler4537]

Can't bloodreapers also get a warshrine? They do REALLY well on it.

[@wizardcat7654]

I really would like to see a doing away of this idea that in strategy games like TW, nothing can be too strong. No, everything should be strong, the fun is in finding ways to counter strong things. And alot of the fun in strategy games like this comes in using things effectively and getting powerful results, but if they just nerf those things into the ground. All the fun is taken away. No, there should be counters put in to deal with that threat. Don't nerf the strategy or unit. Again, the fun is in the effectiveness of the unit and whatever it's job is. Put in something that can counter it. Like what spearmen or hills are to cavalry. Cav should be OP. But you nullify that power through use of the terrain, spears, missile fire ect. or a combination of all those things. That OP cav charge. Not gonna be so strong up a hill or into a spear wall. BUT if you get charged on flat ground into the rear. Your unit should get pretty severely damaged. I think that's the big thing that bugs me. Even in ideal circumstances in so many cases stuff that should be strong, isn't. Stuff that should work, doesn't work as effectively. And I think things are made weaker, take cav as example, intentionally, because there is this worry of "balance" and things being to "powerful". Hello, that's why you design a counter. That's what balance is. Balance doesn't mean not having something that's too powerful. It means putting something on the other side of the scale to counter it. So the opponent does have a chance. Like with my cavalry example. If you make the mistake of letting your flank exposed, not paying attention to the strengths and weaknesses of your enemy or fail to survey the terrain and your own strengths and weaknesses. You having a unit or two be destroyed by a good cav charge or losing the battle is the natural flow of a battle. And my point here isn't that this strategic thinking isn't a factor, btw. My larger point would be that weakening certain things (like cavalry charges or even charges in general) just as one example. It kinda kills the flow, and the fun of a battle. Especially if you are like me and really enjoy a good charge, that actually does something and isn't just a spectacle.

[@Crosslife7]

Arbaal stream would make my week.

[@vilidious]

Your videos are always a delight. Your channel is a source of entertainment as well as inspiration. Thank you for your skill and creativity. ;) Unlike the OG Slaanesh bots, I'm an overweight beardy white male... which I guess still makes me a Slaanesh bot... just for different tastes. ;)

[@anthroposmetron4475]

Keep up the good work Legend.

[@strangestecho5088]

I don't think two turn recruitment is a big deal for Khorne since they don't have supply lines. You just recruit another lord and then catch up to the main army later.

[@senshibat8920]

Tear Maker All The Imperial garrison wets its self seeing them

[@karlmccamish3636]

Super agree, although I like chaos knights. They kick booty. And If I forget them, they don't die horribly. But they def aren't the best. As always love seeing your opinions!

[@Marcel-von-Riva]

Wrathmongers get +5 def and +8 bonus vs infantry in the research, because they are also dualweapon.

[@x1x1x1x2]

Slaanesh bots invading a khorne vid smh

[@kahunab7400]

Those are clearly corn bots!

[@pocket_sand6645]

Personally, i think skullreapers are better than khorne's chosen - higher speed, magic attacks, no fire attack: less armor, but in lategame its not that big of a deal, and new generic lords provides great buff to them

[@alirezarezaei2976]

Legend we need a mount tier list for all factions You never created anything like this

[@imkappachino2046]

so legend, which khorne elite units make it into s tier? legend: yes

[@blaaaghy8300]

Pretty good tier list, I just would put any of the Gor variants in D tier. As far I checked there is always another unit that does the same thing better. We get these redundant units because of the lore goblins, they want to make their table top armies. Sadly doesn't do much for the game though, expect making things even harder for the AI.

[@oooeee5556]

11 units in S tier because S stands for Skulls for the skulls throne

[@aresgalamatis7022]

Someone loves the Khorne campaign ;)

[@theviewerofart]

Tangential, but I think they really dropped the ball when they didn't call Khornegors "Carnigors."

[@davidthane9002]

Right now going into turn 55 of my Arbaal campaign, first time Khorne, and it was a blast. Long Victory by turn 32 or something. Still playing because I want to use High Tier units for the fun of it. And DANG was I annoyed by certain recruit times....2 slots locally and 3 slots globally with no way to increase the slots till Tier V means: No exalted Bloodletters (Tier III) for my Exalted Bloodthirster Lords (would probably put them at C Tier because of that). At the same time: Chosen, Warmongers etc at 1 Turn global and local recruitment for the rest. Skarbrand confederated....he won't have any Bloodthirsters probably because sittting around waiting for those to recruit is a nightmare. (Tier V as well) At least Soulgrinders can get 1 turn global recruit time at bloodletting 3 + Skull Throne boost. So....why Exalted Bloodletters take so long to recruit is beyond me ^^'. And the lack of Slots means that without Blood Hosts my offensive Capabilities would be rather limited. I did notice that the nerf to Blood Hosts only really hits Skarbrand though Arbaal and Skulltaker can spawn those as part of their mechanic. Especially Arbaal (20% per battle....) and while normal creation takes me 60k Skulls I don't really need to do that anyway. So yeah...nerf for Skarbrand while Blood hosts are the major "source" of high Tier units most of the campaign.

[@CupcakeConjuror]

I think the Khorne tiers are a bit wonky compared to other races. Marauders feel like the should be the default recruitable units from mortal settlements. Chaos Warriors Tier 2, and Chaos Warrior Halberds Tier 3. Furies feel like they should be the default daemonic unit to recruit with Bloodletters being Tier 2 and Flesh hounds tier 1. Bloodbeasts might be better at tier 4 with Minotaurs at tier 5

[@TotalWarTherapy]

chaos warshrine as last tier are a must xd

[@JohnSmith-fc7mp]

Manscaped product tier list when?

[@casawi1986]

One question guys, why Khorn doesn't have Chosens halberd variant? Is something linked to the lore ?

[@caesarg.9270]

No, it's just a game design choice where each monogod gets 2 variants of marked Chosen (1 being the regular version). Khorne gets dual weapons, Slaanesh gets Hellscourges, Tzeentch gets Halberd, Nurgle gets Great Weapon.

[@KrytoRift]

I rolled with chaos warriors all the way to late game with arbaal

[@Lancelot2000Lps]

I have made a test what is crazy that khorne dogs not the flesh dogs can win against high elven spearmen and but up a good fight against silvern guards.

[@Dalseom-tx2mu]

minotaur doomstack is my favorite. two variants combined, everything's defeatable easily

[@randomaccessfemale]

I don't get why the Soul Grinder of Khorne is supposed to be so good. The range attack is significantly shorter than the other gods' unit and you cannot control where it shoots. As a mobile artillery unit, I find the Nurgle and Tzeentch ones better.

[@felipealvarado8801]

This has a Lot of differences with cultist of khorne XD

[@CristianOcnarescu]

Not sure what Legends thinks about flaming attacks.

[@seansalzman707]

I feel like the slaughter brute should be A tier, it doesn't perform on par with minotaur's, soul grinders, or blood thirsters in my experience.

[@JonasJJ238]

Why not include heroes in the Tierlist?

[@tomajio7479]

your channel is a source for e- BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[@ayoxen4031]

Well ackchually. Skull reapers have magic attacks but DON'T HAVE fire attacks. So if you're going against e.x. chaos Dwarfs, skull reapers will do more dmg.

[@morganfelbeck6413]

I dunno man…. Duel weapon marauders are so awesome Just super cool to watch fight and die for the skull throne, I always keep like 4-8 in my army so I don’t feel like I’m just winning

[@Caleb-o2i]

Khorngors are great. Fast enough to catch cavalry

[@zanestearns2143]

Khornegors aren't great but they're fun enough to use. Your points are all valid though. I'm glad beastmen get them though.

[@msf47]

Khorngors should have at least 50 + speed

[@N4chtigall]

I dont know how many times I have pointed it out: some cavalry units have "anti-infantry" ability not because of their bonus anti-infantry damage, but because of unit numbers. More units = better vs infantry, less units = better vs large units. Thats the logic. Chaos Knights are considered anti-infantry because they have a lot of units (60) so they can spread their damage and fight more units at the same time.

[@arxra4470]

I had test played the Khorne Chariots and think the "Chaos Chariots of Khorne" are not very good because the less mass. They stuck everywhere. The Gorebeast Chariots are much much better.

[@Spirelord122]

Anyone having an issue with arbaal causing desync in multiplayer battles when he gets into combat (in manual resolve?)

[@gtmafiaa]

I just want chosen of khorne GW and halberds idk why we cant get that and even marked aspiring champions

[@emib6599]

After trying the recruiting priorities of various of those list... I would like to say that trash overexpensive, not very effective units are still good in the late game when you have loads of money and you want to flex over the AI. So I don't follow anyone those lists in a zealous way. Only as a generic idea to overcome difficult situations.

[@ReallyBigRat-bp4bi]

LegendofShavenBalls!

[@Lancelot2000Lps]

When comes the next live stream i want too sea you play a Arbaal or skulltaker campaign and cheese it like a skaven plz plz. How wants that too?

[@Cursedpeopleakajuice]

I would say khornegor are great for beastmen tho they are not useful in khorne roaster tho

[@inductivegrunt94]

So many units in S and A tier. Only the best warriors and daemons for Khorne's armies. Thankfully money isn't an issue when you collect as gold as fast as skulls. Player bleeds gold while the enemy bleeds blood, and the player collects both gold and skulls. And all of it for Khorne.

[@trowachess]

S for the Skull Tier !

[@Anabiosised]

FOR KHORNE

[@HadamacikTheProphet]

I like minotaurs but they are terrible in autoresolve always taking heavy damage or outright dying so I wouldnt put them into S tier because of that but otherwise I agree

[@JohnSmith-qb9ex]

They are so busted in campaign, Legendary difficulty looks like a joke with Khorne.

[@jaydb-oqw]

Khorne smash

[@FxTR22]

Weirdest tier list ever, the higher the tier, the more unis khorne has lol

[@Toast-b1s]

Such hypocrisy always complaining about the blood shrine mount now telling people to use it

[@fannychmelar6622]

🎉🎉

[@Cursedpeopleakajuice]

I don't think slaughter brute are good these guys sucks not worth doomstacking

[@Lancelot2000Lps]

But if you get better result from tier s or a unit than d or c units. Does that make players how do not use them idiots or bad gamer's or weirdos, i can not make my mind up which one it is, can someone help?
