[@motioncaptiveduck]

Skulltaker could be Khorne's Oxyotl... except he teleports to fight lords who have won many battles in a row. Same campaign mechanic but with different trigger and reasoning.

[@ryanmurray6269]

I love this idea so much

[@bigbowss9817]

Thats an amazing idea, makes it dynamic aswell, as it will change which factions snowball in each campaign depending on who you take out first...

[@beardedfreckle]

Returning to this video after CA just mentioned Khorne, Ogres, and Greenskins

[@MHDaron]

If we get an ogre DLC, I really hope we get a Maneater hero variant, just so Aranessa can finally sail with her real first mate, Ogg Halfheart.

[@Zettern96]

One thing wortth remebering is that if this DLC comes after the Slanesh DLC it will include the 100th legendary lord.

[@abbald]

After it is now officially and after we know more after Thrones. Do you think Skulltaker will coming for sure? We have Epidemios now. Also the masque could be something for later? Or is now Urball more possible? With his giant axe and his mountoption he reminds totally of Tamurkhan. Also after the Hound of Korne is in the game. I think both are possible.

[@bensnyder4963]

Imagine if arbaal just turned into a new character for the rest of the campaign if he ever broke. Just a chaos spawn LL.

[@THEMEATMANOG]

With ogres I feel that there is 2 dlcs for them. One being Ghark and monsters and Golgfag with Gnoblars and Maneaters

[@Chunthoor]

I'm totally with you on the Orc and Ogre variant, because I also think that both Vampire Counts and all the other undead factions need something of their own, which then hopefully is somehow related to Nagash.

[@th0r160]

They could give Arbaal an adapted Sun Ce System. In 3K Sun Ce has to fight/ accomplish objectives to not run out of chance and basically die. So you could have a credit system where basically every time you get defeated / routed / wounded you lose some. When reaching 0 you die. Would give the feeling of « You cannot loose » but still be controllable for the players. And winning the narrative campaign would allow you to stop the credits descending or slow it. Pretty sure there would be a way to implement it that way

[@Otakahunt]

Or just make him turn into a chaos spawn same way Malus Darkblade does except his happens automatically upon morale break or death... then hes unbreakable spawn and fights to the death. After that hes wounded like any other lord... you know no legendary lord can die in the game anyway. And most of these lords in the game would never fight eachother anyway because they dont even exist at the sametime in lore. No need for credits system... that would suck and put too much pressure into not losing any battles. No other lord in the game has that anyway... outside generic ones under level 20 because you would lose their levels if they die without being immortal.

[@jukahri]

@Forrest Mcgee BFGA1, Dawn of War2, Xcom, all have such 'fight to keep what you have mechanics', they're all great games and made better for having it.

[@thebackup2121]

​@@jukahriYeah true it's just that those games are by design suited to 'Ironman' modes and survival challenges, whereas this is intended to be a sandbox where you gradually build an empire over time, so for the most part it's more about a gradual tweaking of the experience to prevent a player's empire snowballing and expanding too quick, and research and overall progression is there to add things to the experience - It can differ from player to player but in TW I just want good A.I. that will try to outmaneuver me and a tech tree/building requirements to gradually add units 😄

[@th0r160]

@@forrestmcgee7631 would give your campaign some stakes and challenge. Doesnt exclude some form of reward. And would add a bit of variety to the game, with harder campaigns.

[@Danne1040]

A somewhat balanced way for the khorne characters headhunting mechanic would be if he declares war on a faction with higher strength ranking than his own he can instantly teleport to the legendary lord and fight them. Would somewhat limit his ability to snowball since he can't teleport to weaker factions and it fits his lore of only seeking the strongest champions. Maybe as a upside he could get 2x or 1.5x on LL defeat traits or give the defeat traits he has collected to all lords of his faction since he has given their skulls to khorne so all his generals gain their strength.

[@ShadowoftheMask]

I notice amount of characters in this setting with reputation of being unbeatable on one on one combat :'D Wonder what happens if they all face each other

I think a Khorne dlc would be a good time to rework Norsca. Good tie in lord with Egil Styrbjorn (for Norsca). Would also love to see Bragg the Gutsman cuz all the concept art looks sick.

Well, bretonnia is supposed to be the fully flc faction, so they will probably not be in the two protogonist factions. And I kinda doubt they will have resources to do 4 reworks in one patch. So we will probably hate to wait longer for brettonia update

Skull taker never having any interactions with blood dragons is really odd. Abhorash or Walach most certainty would’ve got his attention. Maybe it’s due to the lack of soul?

[@MaledictGaming]

Also becoming a vampire is kinda dishonourable in terms of achieveing self-improvement.

[@joshmilner4864]

wondering the same thing. I know he shows up in the end times and then they keep reusing him in 40k and aos so maybe thats why cause hes to spread out over all the lore?

[@glendaal67]

I think it's mostly that he does not fit into Total War Warhammer. The game is about Warhammer Fantasy, in which Ka'bandha does not really have a role and we already have a bloodthirster LL. Ka'bandhas only real difference would be the fact that he has functional wings, he does not bring anything interesting to the table. I would not mind him, but I would rather take any other Khornate character

[@OldManZolla]

I'd love to see an update based around Karak 8 peaks. Give updates to Queek, Skarsnik, and Belegar. Skarsnik could get all the missing squigg units as well as buffs for them. Maybe some kind of active abilities that act as traps. Don't really know enough about Queek and Belegar but I'm sure they could be given some new mechanics/units to freshen them up as well as they both feel lacking compared to others of their races.

[@2Shadowscout]

Bonegrined Giant slingers as an artillery unit sound funny AF. Just like old timey slings but they are throwing large blouders

[@BeyondTilted]

They did do 4 game 1 v game 2 dlc in tww2, beastmen wood elves empire and green skins. They just didn’t do the other 4 factions.

[@Mal-ue7nm]

the heavy chariot idea is a good shout I've felt they tomb kings should have something like this for a while

[@nleeb100]

Hey Sotek, so I did the math and the 100th legendary lord would actually be in this dlc. Do you think thanquil or Nagash could make an appearance?

[@paladinshark2448]

Cmon, can’t forget Egil Styrbjorn! He can come in with a Bretonnia rivalry update. Need that classic mega butcher knight

[@Oakenritual]

I'd love an undead focused DLC for Counts, Tomb Kings and Coast. Give the monsters you mentioned plus a giant undead octopus for the pirates. Pirates need to have a Kraken even if there is no unit in the lore. :D

[@74arcath]

I think Norsca will be in the Khorne DLC, thats the feel I got and maybe Vamps. Tho will there really be 3 Destruction races in same DLC. Yea idk

[@kolsveinnskraevolding]

For those wondering - Arbaal being a Norscan is taken from the Sea of Claws supplement for WHFRP 4 where Arbaal's name is listed as being an etymologically Norscan name. Ungrim fought Scyla during the End Times but it was never made particularly clear if he actually got killed. He ended up in the Crystal Labryinth when the world blew up.

[@emmahagens]

what i've it is not a quartet but a quintet with the horned rat against two more races as a dlc?

[@Planewalker1999]

Is there going to be a new lore QA series anytime in the future?

[@Sultschiem]

Vampire Counts have some cool units you forgot: Simulacra are essentially Magical Statues moving. There used to be a Gargoyle Dogs of War Unit, which could be added to this as well. There are also the Wicker-men which are wooden constructs Necromancers and hedge-wizards use with knifes as hands. One could see the first two as infantry sized heavy armored constructs. Additionally, there are the Barrow-Legion units which includes a chariot too.

[@Razielts1]

14:20 what i can see work for skulltaker is an aura similar to guardian that activates his hellblade when he's close to lords and heroes.

[@funnylittlewormyguy4926]

man you called it and i agree: a Champions of Chaos-style DLC for orcs & goblins sounds incredible. include some tweaks to the Call to WAAAGH mechanic and a Daniel-style "Boss" with visible customization and I am the happiest git

[@parttimehero8640]

Wouldn't one of the LL released with the DLCs be tje 100th LL?

[@cb4n]

I think the most interesting data point when it comes to speculating about this DLC is that it will contain the 100th Legendary Lord and that amidst all the hype prior to WH3's launch, it was suggested that CA has someone special in mind for LL 100. The most common predictions I heard at the time were Nagash and Thanquol for the 100th LL slot

[@feasibilyheretical]

I think a cool mechanic for Skulltaker himself would be he gains strength when other units are not nearby.

[@Expeor7970]

I remember reading on reddit that with the slaanesh one there'd be 99 lords counting gotrek. Do you think before khone's there'll be something special for #100?

[@Bladderfishy]

If CA continue in the same vein, it is possible that Nagash (or Thanquol?) will come as the 100th lord but in an FLC like Drycha, allowing them to still do a Khorne vs whoever DLC while rewarding the player-base with something special. At least that's what I'd like to believe!

[@jackmcfarland706]

It is probable they will put in the nagash with tanquol in a DLC before the khorne DLC

[@jackmcfarland706]

Because the skaven have normally fought negash quite a lot

[@jackmcfarland706]

And negash would be treated like Daniel the diamond and have his own faction

[@Micktrex]

I really enjoy these speculation videos. I was wondering do you think it could be possible we see a 5th DLC after the presumed Khorne one that involves Chaos Undivided/Warriors of Chaos vs 2 other factions? Or do you feel character's like Thanquol, Tetto'eko, etc will come in other forms later down the line?

[@fsrer2638]

For vampire counts, I could also see, maybe if they do not want to bring Neferata yet, or maybe as a Legendary Hero choice, them bringing out Dieter Helsnicht, who could play a role of bringing more normal beasts into the Vampire Count roster with a faction that could focus on Beasts and as a Legendary Hero, he could possibly have similar abilities to a Packmaster where he is able to summon stuff like Manticores or, Bears or Wolves or similar types of animals

[@christophercolasurdo919]

Neferata as a legendary hero would be rage inducing to the highest degree. The vampire with easily the most obvious unique mechanic niche, and (subjectively) coolest lore not being playable in her own right but as a lackey to other factions would suck so much.

[@stratedmusic5139]

I think my favorite thing about this whole video is that as the time progresses, Sotek throws all fucks out the window about the language he uses. "the FUCK YOU sized construct" describing the Khemric Titan got me good

[@305bj]

How about Khorne vs pre-order races. Norsca and Ogres would be perfect for Khorne to fight

[@oldtoby4062]

I know it's unlikely, but I'd like to see lizards or wood elves get some love

[@jobvermuyen5382]

What do you think of a scuttleboss on gigantic spider? It would be spider themed but it couls fit. Or would that be too much aos

[@darkone43i22]

The unique mechanic for Skulltaker could be the Cloak of Skulls. 8 slots for "champion's skulls". This mechanic comes at the cost of gaining Legendary Defeat Traits normally. When Skulltaker's army defeats a non-legendary lord, he gets a champion's skull that grants bonuses based on the type of lord it is, like magic defense from a mage lord or melee defense from a melee lord. The real skulls you want for the cloak come from Legendary Lords, which each have their own reward, with their legendary defeat trait being tied to said skull alongside other bonuses. Where it extends is that the cloak allows Skulltaker to apply those bonuses to Bloodletters, Exalted Bloodletters, and Bloodletter heroes in his army. Starts with 2 slots open with more being unlocked by offering skulls. To remove a skull from the cloak, it can be offered to Khorne to allow Skulltaker to either gain a combat buff for a few turns or to teleport to a different part of the map in search of new prey.

[@IlGrandeMagazzi]

i think vampire counts need a 4 LL dlc dedicated to them

[@dan7564]

I feel Aborash Would match against the two undefeated khorne characters you mentioned. Called it, Clash of the blood Champions. After all, Aborash too sought out champions to fight, makes sense they'd find each other.

[@phaeron2450]

If they actually do apophas. I'd like for him to have four special abilities not spells. 1) vomiting scarabs or scarab tied. would act like a wind spell. 2) scarab storm. is a vortex that he turns into, that you can control. 3) soul stealer. It basically acts like the spell. 4) scarab swarm. It's basically him turning into, the scarab swarm ability, able to hit land or air targets.

I guess they could go for seperate DLC or series of DLCs with main heralds of chaos gods after this quartet featuring characters that are not heralds like Dechala, Tamurkhan etc.

[@Neolibwill]

I feel like the best way to do Arbaal is to make him die when he routs, and have an increased wound recovery time. That way it’s punishing, but it overly so.

[@juliansantos8478]

It could be an ability of the Destroyer in combat. At the moment when his morale drops to the point of fleeing, he becomes a much stronger spawn and with maximum life but with rampage

[@Ratzo123ify]

I'd like to see Skitgit "Da Black Gobbo", da shiftiest an' da sneakiest, da most cunnin' an' conniving.

[@SusaVile]

Bretonnia, Norsca would be nice. One thing I would love CA to do is a "Main lord" rework. Currently, the race leaders, like Karl Franz, Tyrion, Queek... they are the most bland without specific mechanics. I would pay for a rework around those.

Franz is okay I think. Rework Gelt instead so Franz is the only one with the Elector Count mechanic. (and maybe rework the mechanic a little bit)
