I’m not sure Harkon could even be brought back. Seemed like she used her new daemon powers to unbind him from undeath that made him melt into goop. At least AoS has a spiritual successor in Captain Varkos Varactyr who commands a flying ghost fleet that plunders the skies(Kharadron airships & cities) and seas in the Realm of Fire.

[@Never_heart]

It's fitting. Let's be honest, Nagash did it mostly to ensure Mannfred continued to suffer. What is crazier, is that he didn't bring back Harkon and just let him loose in the Sea of Souls to be a pain in Chaos's butt. Imagine that, being a Greater Demon raising an army for your god. Just to hear a shanty being sung mear moments before a fleet of flying/walking pirate ships juat gun you down from a fathom away, only to then steal your weapons and armor from your disapating corpses

@goldenhorde6944 Not for the Looney Toon known as Luthor Harkon. This guy is the definition of a cartoon pirate. Specifically, I believe it is the version of you are a pirate from the show Lazy Town. He is crazy enough to know that one. 🤣🤣🤣

[@goldenhorde6944]

@@joshuasepeda3289 Well anything in Warhammer would have some amount of goofiness injected into it, I'd argue Harkon falls into the same category as the Skaven where he can be played for laughs for the audience's sake but from the perspective of anyone in-universe he's still an unstoppable vampire lord, capable of drowning entire nations in both the figurative zombie horde sense and the literal ocean-magic sense.

[@joshuasepeda3289]

@goldenhorde6944 I get that. However, the explanation of Luthor Harkon that we get seems to heavily imply that Luthor just achieves objectives through sheer luck. This vampire somehow survives battles and ambushes like he's protected by plot armor and it's only because the end times had to happen that he finally gets axed. Remember, this guy survived a magical encounter while attempting to loot a tomb protected by Lizard man magic. This shouldn't have happened. Also, he actually becomes very resistant to magic, to the point that even the rulers of the Lizard men can't just vaporize him. Even with his mind shattered, Luthor is still able to pull off feats that put him in the top tier of Warhammer fantasy characters. It's almost like Luthor has the toon force on his side. That's why I stand by my statement that "You are a pirate" from the Lazytown show just plays in his mind while he's waiting for one of his shattered personalities to take over.

Mannfred Von Carstein: “You are without a doubt the worst vampire I've ever heard of.” Luthor Harkon: “But you *have* heard of us.” When Morathi captured him and locked him in a treasure vault, I imagine that they found out he escaped because when they went to the vault, he and *Everything* were gone. Luthor is the type of person that would empty out an entire treasure vault and/or steal things like crowns of Malekith, Morathi, and Thorgrim, Ghal Maraz, the Armor and stone of Aenarion, the Von Carstein ring, the Great Book, etc. just because he wanted to. After all, he did steal a *literal* Lizardmen city to the point that, and I quote, “not one stone was left stacked upon another” that one time. P.S. Yes, I am imaging it as the Jack running form cannibals from POTC2 but with every named character from the setting chasing him.

I’m convinced that the orks and vampire coast are the only ones having any fun in Warhammer Fantasy. I mean Luther taught his zombies to shoot guns and sing. Which do you think he’s more proud of. Vampire necromancer pirate vs Ninja rat men. *Why* did this never happen? It would be absolutely hilarious to me if they brought him and the other vampires pirates back as the followers of the Ocean god from Fantasy reborn in exchange for soul protection from Nagash. The Deepkin hate them because they tried to bring back their god, and never did yet the vampire coast get near unconditional protection and rewards and all they have to do not screw the ocean god over.

[@007whiterussian2]

it is hinted heavily that Stromfels (evil mannan basically) really likes the vampire coast as he also revived cylostra into what she is. So he def has some necromantic stuff about him and given the lore of the deeps is necromancy and ocean type magic together in some weird way the vamp coast has a patreon god of sorts lol

Similar story for me. All I knew about warhammer 40k in 2016 is the Trump memes which made me look up who the god emperor of mankind was. I had some interest at the time but didn’t really get into it. Then one day in early 2020 I stumbled across a leutin lore video and the rest is history. Now I have 2 entire rooms of plastic crack and an entire large table in my hobby room waiting for their turn to be on the painting desk. Unfortunately I don’t just build and paint a 1-3k point army and move on to another one. I did that for sororitas and my AOS army but my world eaters are 15k points, daemons are 11k, and chaos knights are 7k…. For some reason I just really like those 3 and keep adding to them for no real reason. I guess subconsciously i’m hoping I’ll find someone that can match a 30k+ point army for a bit of apocalypse but in Texas that is pretty unlikely. What’s ironic is I’m an imperium fanboy when it comes to the lore but sororitas are my only “loyalist” forces…

Luthor Harkon and Lord Noctilus are probaly the characters that the phrase "goes hard" talks about. mfkers dont care about order or chaos, they are here for blood and plunder and boy do they get it till the heroes of the story show up. The concept is so stupidly cool i even tried to make something similar in Stellaris but the lack of space monsters to zombify and the empire placements makes it hard to raid anything as a space undead fleet.

After the Vampire coast trailer came out, I couldn't help but make my own Vampirate. Sorry for the cringe but I love writing OC's. Enter Kalys Seaspite, a Lyonnesse maiden who spat in the face of Lyonnesse family plots and arranged marriages by leaping from the cliffs to the Sea. Moved by this motion and a prayer given for a sure death, Manaan blessed her with an almost eternal beauty as she would move along his realm on the currents of the sea... I say almost because as pointed out in this video, those currents eventually lead to the Vampire Coast. In a midst of a gleeful madness, and seeing a PERFECTLY preserved body for the taking, Luthor was all too happy to try and feed on the young Princess. As his fangs sunk into her flesh, the ravages of time started to affect her as the rot and bloat from who knows how long at sea started to affect her. Being not met with fresh blood but instead sea water, Harkon was disgusted and wounded in both parts as Manaan tore what little vengeance he could against the vampire as the water opened wounds in his mouth... Allowing blood to flow into the slowly rotting corpse below him. Unwillingly giving her the blood kiss, Luthor at first played with the idea of tossing her to the sea again and letting the inhabitants therein deal with the fledgling, but already at sea for an important reason, he decided to ignore the problem and continue towards Sartosa. Having her first feeding and finding her first crew there, Kalys would soon become a menace across the Bretonnian coast. Enough eventually that a dwarvish Ironclad would be sent to settle a grudge. There she learned that Vampires fucking HATE inhuman blood and needed something to sate herself after finding she had basically risen her entire crew into undeath during the battle, cause dwarfs are WAY better than peasants at killing pirates it turns out. The crew happily turned her towards the undefended towns, and only after they started coming back with a... SPECIFIC kind of loot did she figure out why. Raising three bretonnian girls as spirits and others as zombies, she'd go on to challenge Harkon... and fail. Becoming just another captain in his fleet, she sailed in a Bretonnian Corsair named "Her Maiden's Virtue" and even picked up a few remnants from the dissolution of the Dreadfleet with some Skaven PiRATS.

Or how Mannfred destroys planet holding Nachmunds Gauntlet making available to go to Nihilus and to Sanctus because he see Vlad and Isabella there.

[@MajorJakas]

Is that, like, a california thing?

[@andynorris6586]

I had the thought yesterday its been a second since you uploaded, and then boom, Supreme Arch-Commodore, high admiral of the Vampire Coast.

[@digunder14]

to be fair, it makes sense if his mind was put back together he no longer would be immune to magic, since from the sounds of it, it was having his mind fractured like it was that made him immune to magic

[@flubz5457]

No way someone else remembered Pirates of the Caribbean Online, I thought I was the only one 😂 used to love playing that

[@007whiterussian2]

the vampire coast undead are quite different from vampire counts too which is cool. They are all kinda self sufficient and more independent so they can do complex tasks that is needed to sail the ships and use guns and cannons and what not, granted its probs like a 30 iq person trying to do it all but their undead arent like perfectly managed movement by movement like other vampires. Also they kinda have a patreon god of sorts? In cylostras lore she is revived by stromfels (a ocean god) and presumably teaches her the lore of the deeps meaning maybe he might help them out and teach them stuff indirectly since he probably likes what the vamp coast is doing. Also their units are probably the coolest in warhammer imo the necofex colosus is the whole reason i got into total war and warhammer in general

[@Gorge-890]

Thank you for making warhammer fantasy lore videos.

[@Bruhx10]

4:55 in all fairness he literally is a corpse that washed up there, it's less him being lucky and more him being uniquely suited to the situation - sounds like 6 or two threes but I wouldn't call it luck if so many bodies wash up in that spot. Like everyone else would just drown, vampires don't need to breathe so any other vampire getting shipwrecked in the area would produce similar results

[@michaelroach3175]

Pancreas starting this video by mentioning POTC Onlinr was a flashbang because my mother played that game until disney shut it down

[@Darthmechas]

I saw what you did with that opening line you brilliant man…well played

[@patrik9328]

Treasure Island is one of my favorite books I imagine Luthor doing Livesey walk

[@davidwilli5542]

I never really like the vampire coast, but i recently played a luthor harkon campaign in warhammer 3 and i fell in love with him and the aesthetic 11/10

[@friskydingo9024]

Dam.... I've been looking for a army in AOS since I only have a 2 40k army's and I'd 100% choose thia guy if he was an option. Cool pirate bro

[@erdervv]

If you like vampire pirates i highly recommend "Journery of black and red". Arienne of the Nirari is a not insane Luthor, and i a world of vampires that study the blade for thousands of years she instead decided to use artillery barrages.

[@C.D.G.1]

The character who convinced me to buy Total War Warhammer.

[@heyguy2367]

my favorite warhammer fantasy character by far just love that mad lad. He is perfection.

[@soccerandtrack10]

28:19 he does crazy stuff/i can have any army with any weopon/ choose to copy the night lords too maybe.

[@BonameekGamer]

you are realy cranking these vedios out

Luthor Harkon Confirmed Romanian 9:40

00:18 A fellow enlightened POTCO enjoyer, I see!

[@templarw20]

For awesome game pirates, I would counter with La Capitan, from Sentinels of the Multiverse, AKA Maria Helena Teresa Fafila Servanda Jimena Mansuara Paterna Domenga Gelvira Placia Sendina Belita Eufemia Columba Gontina Aldonza Mafalda Cristina Tegrida de Falcon (she adds names as she travels). Captain of the time traveling galleon La Paradoja Magnifica.

[@templarw20]

She later turns Hero for the apocalyptic fight. Now hundreds of years old, gray-haired La Commodora has divested herself of her time-displaced crew, but has augmented her ship with magic, technology, and even more temporal shenanigans. When she fires a broadside, she opens multiple time portals beside her, firing her ship's guns from different time periods to hit you with ten times the cannonballs that should have been possible. Magnificent paradox, indeed.

[@leothewhiteranger]

Can I just say I love you did your research on the fact he was on the Tabletop? The entire Vampire Coasts army was a White Dwarf Armylist which, given the pre-Chapterhouse State of GW, was based entirely around conversions - Queen Bess was to be a converted Hellcannon, Luthor based on a Von Carstein Vampire, adding Imperial Millitia bits to Zombies to make them seem piratey, etc etc. They made it for the Lustria Worldwide campaign - Ebony Skulls included, and never supported it afterwards, and Harkon even appearing in the End Times was a bit of a shock to people - Other similar White Dwarf Lists never got any referrence again like the Rhinox Rider Ogres. And then some mad man at Creative Assembly either knew of him, or found out, and decided "We've run dry of armies who could be here, let's bring in the undead pirates!" And thus established the CA brand of being able to upgrade GW stuff that hadn't been done much with. Other examples include Kislev (A more formal armybook that was expanding on a WD list), Cathay (Not even a WD list) and several different characters (The Moulder Rat Ogre with a Chaos Warrior brain and Harald Hammerstorm are WD entries, Grom and Repanse were OOP for multiple editions by the end of Fantasy...)

[@martinconway8174]

This guy might be my favourite fantasy character

[@carlzerris6566]

There is a criminally low number of Pirate Mechas out there and i never thought Fantasy would be where i found one of them

[@NobodyDungeons]

I actually have my own pirate vampire character. He’s known as Aaron the bloodwake. As a man he was solely dedicated to whatever he thought was fun at the time being a pirate privateering for a merchant lord of the empire stealing from the empire eventually getting caught where he decided serving a mad man would be fun smashing an ebony skull becoming a vampire and proceeding to butcher his opposition. His name comes from the fact that sword fighting is fun. He is blinding fast and stupidly strong on top of his necromantic abilities so much so that Gotric had issues fighting him till Aaron got bored and bounced.

[@thepriorstone4064]

I want Luthor Harkon, Settra, and Caiaphus Cain all in a room together just to see what happens

[@Warmaster2001]

Cain will run from the room, Settra and Harkon will do dick measuring contest until Harkons bad personality take over and start attacking Settra.

[@Craigerfried1128]

Dwarves: that’s going in the book Lizardmen: that’s going in the prophecies

[@gorkmork682]

The rule about multiple personalities also said that you would roll a dice if Luthor lost his last wound: on a 6, a stronger personality will take control and allow him to carrie on, with 1 wound left.

[@Nomadith]

May Mannan bless that merry seafaring schizophrenic, i love him

[@chrome6089]

god i love this character, he’s like me in every video game, i gotta loot EVERYTHING i see

[@TheHammerHero]

After seeing this and Mannfreds own video i kind of get the feeling that if he hadn't appeared in the end times it would have been about 50% better then it ended up being😂

[@Warmaster2001]

Yes because the rift will be closed and Archaon will be forced to fight normal warfare without demons. But that still doesn't mean that Archaon will not eventually win without destroying the planet but conquering it and making the planet a GARGANTUAN arena for Chaos God's Great Game where, dwarfs, elves, men, beastmen, Skaven, ork will fight each other for the sake of the 4.
