ORK WARBOSSES: A series of MEAN GREEN Tales I Warhammer 40k Lore and Story

[@Scholarslore]

As a lil fyi, the first 5 bosses are from some of the various editions of the Ork codex, but the last 2 are just some fun characters I wrote up, which I thought were in keeping with the whole "slightly dysfunctional warboss" theme.

[@anything6398]

😂😂😂 Thank you 🍀

[@DrymouthCWW]

Well done human AI collaboration dude.

[@pvtpain66k]

I was particularly amused by GazzLighta, gaslighting his men. 😆

[@ilari90]

One thing I'd add to Tuska is that he doesn't wake up on that planet he died on, he was summoned to Khorne's realm and he assaults the Brass Citadel of Khorne every day.

[@Arborist5851]

[@Thyranel]

Hail Tuska 🤩🤩🤩

[@Scholarslore]

Thanks! I did think about doing a full video on him, and perhaps in the future I might, but yeah he's one of my favs as well

[@einokeino303]

Tuska = Agony in finnish.

[@serephineclaibourn3422]

The tale of warboss Gasslighta' was a fantastic story~

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you

[@RoryMajule]

This does such a great job building on and paying homage to my favorite original (and very experimental) episode! All while sticking with the tone you’ve built over the channels lifetime. I would like to see more experimental stuff, but I’m so happy this episode wasn’t lost to us forever!

[@Scholarslore]

Haha thank you, I was VERY close to remaking the entire thing in the older style, with those small animated bits, and I even had an idea for the whole character sequence of the warboss losing David somewhere, before grabbing the new narrator, but to be honest I always found that old episode so hard to watch back! The voices weren't quite right, and animation was sloppy, and I reckon if I kept making that sort of thing, it would have gotten better, but it just wasn't the direction I chose. In terms of experimental, I do have a musical number planned for the nearish future, so hopefully that'll be nice and different from the usual stuff 👀

[@Galejro]

@27:06 Korva XD very fitting in Polish we got a slander word "Kurwa!" Which can be shouted in anger XD

[@Aaron-oh3yj]

Another fun one, i loved the call back to the "Naturalist by the campfire"

Thank you mighty scholar for this amazing tale of the mighty orchs 💪💪💪 would love to be one of Tuska boys fighting demons all day long 🤩🤩🤩

[@barbareusz6595]

Fantastic tale😊 Please, save some good green stuff for the upcoming Orktober

[@NNoradIV]

I'd love a video where you share the technical intricacies of working with an AI voice model. How much work is there? What control do you have over the voice? Intonations? How many times do you have to re-generate sections? How do you cut some sequences? Also, WAAAAAAAA was hilarious

[@Scholarslore]

Hey, yeah that's a video that has been on my mind more and more recently. To answer some of your questions now though: - In terms of overall time/work spent on the voice side of things, the script for this video was 6.5k words, and I think it took around 4.5-5 hours to do? Can't remember exactly, but often I'll match 10-15 minutes of usable audio to 1 hour of work. - To a certain degree I can control the intonations/emotions/pacing/timing/accent, and all of those are either done with phonetic spelling, or a specific syntax to the AI tool (Elevenlabs) - I would say I regenerate each section an average of 3 times. Some I'm happy with straight away, whereas others might take 10 generations to get a good sounding result (but in those cases, if its taking that long then my writing might be a bit scuffed, and I'll rewrite the sentences until it sounds better to my ears). - I cut sections if the voice sounds bored/monotone/overly enthusiastic/oddly energetic, and I mean really anything which I believe to be "out of character" for a calm narrator. That'll include the model slipping into an American accent, or suffering from any other audio bugs. But in general I'll generate these paragraph by paragraph, then as I listen back, I'll chop and change individual sentences (doing individual words doesn't work since the AI models are awful at short generations, need at least a sentence), and I'll just repeat that process over a few hours until I've got the entire script in audio format, I'll do a couple quick tweaks to it to make it sound cleaner, and that'll be about it. If you've got any more questions feel free to ask, hopefully this was sort of helpful. Again, I do want to do a tutorial video, but I've no idea when that would be. Oh and yes, the AI recital of any WAAAGH is just so ridiculous

Good question. Maybe the spors cross breed with one another in a previously undescribed mechanism. I don't know whether or nor our spores do the same on planet Earth. But you could make the argument that spores hybridize with one another in orks.
