Ostermark & Mordheim Lore Total War: Warhammer

[@A.L.E.X.42]

6 years late but these came up on my feed and I’ve been going through all of them. The heraldry on the Ostermark logo is in fact not a Manticore or a Gryphon but a Cockatrice. You can Google cockatrice heraldry to see the similarities. This is noted way back in White Dwarf 147 (I’m old) in one of the first major articles on the Empire army as it would be established for the remainder of WHFB. Amazing videos by the way love hearing all the “recent” lore I never knew about during the later editions.

[@1Korlash]

It's wonderful to see the lore of the Empire laid out like this. In my campaigns, when I interact with an Imperial province, I can picture what kind of people I'm dealing with.

[@hamarbiljungskile8953]

I'm a simple Kislevite. I see Ostermark, I upvote.

[@DSFARGEG00]

[@sovietheavy5500]

I am Kislevite too but i like Stirland more

[@matthewf6429]

The Best Warhammer Fantasy KZbin Channel ever...just great

[@Bubba_Dub]

OMG you never hear anyone talking about Ostermark! I'm digging these province lore videos.

[@etinarcadiaego7424]

So basically, Ostermark is Warhammer's Hungary.

[@mordororc6970]

a mix of hungary and austria

[@toadwine7654]

Ostrogoths? That is sweden XD

[@joshuabarrett7997]

Anyone think the Knights could make for an interesting regiment? Just make them really OP in a fight, but every so often just have a random event that makes them take like 50% attrition?

[@jorikrouwenhorst7220]

The Lamenters to The Knight of Everlasting Light. “You too huh.”

[@krevin543]

really good lore video! I was just looking for mordhiem lore, and then you posted lol

[@ronnie5340]

You deserve alot more subs, every vid is amazing

[@jayxeno]

Ever thought of a lore video on Mannslieb and Morrslieb?

[@Amir-mq4jy]

Thanks man! great video as always

[@Mattw321]

Love the lore videos!!!!! this is amazing information mate your sigmar himself!!!!

[@sunjian5458]

*GASP* A video about Ostermark and not ONE mention of Stefan Von Kessel? From Mark of Chaos? You know, the Video Game? Yeah yeah I know its a game but he IS considered one of the Canon Elector Counts of Ostermark. For SHAME Inept General, for SHAME. Nah I kidd, awesome video. Never knew Ostermark was so economic, I thought they were one of the poorest parts of the Empire

[@DarkLordOfSweden]

Sunjian 54 yea they are, I am also surprised that he did not mention that they are famous for there vampire hunters also. oh and ogres, lots of ogres

[@Gravord85]

Lots of ogres, thats Ostland, not Ostermark.

[@amilitarymind]

I think the Mordheim and the War of the three emperors time period is the best and most interesting period in WF. It's definitely my favourite. It was a time of rich history and lore. Although I love TW Warhammer the game, its just too close to the end times and the end of that wonderful world. I really hope Games Workshop starts working on that old world period, from a video games standpoint.

[@eddy_malouempereur_du_cong6536]

Mark in german often refer to a border region

[@poshboy4749]

So you might say that if you were to go into the Eerie Downs, "Don't follow the lights."

[@joshuabarrett7997]

"Stay on the road, and keep clear of the moors."

[@CommissarBRO]

I love your Lore videos! Keep it up man!

[@Gimmers18]

These vids are really good please dont stop!

[@thegreatbookofgrudges6953]

while you tell us about lore of knights of the everlasting light or eternal light. what bonus that gave to them in battlefield? it would be cool if CA added this knights in TWW and put some event where you had those knights in your army and you in own settlement for replenish, in 2 or 3 turns you knights would got attrition so you must get rid off them or you must move your army. that's my idea for knights of the everlasting/eternal light.

[@IDontKnowYouWhoAreYou]

yes add these knights of depravity jaehaehaehaeheh it matters not it will be easy pickings for the force of chaos to slaugther them in Khorne's name jaehaehaehaeh humanity is truly deprave ajehaehaehaehaehaheaehaehhaehaehaehaehaeh

[@dalakhsarothal9624]

The heraldry of Ostermark is not a victorious griffon, it's a manticore that their first king slew and that's why it has a crown.

[@theineptgeneral8325]

GW conflicting lore not the first time

[@dalakhsarothal9624]

Indeed but at least it explains why they have a chaotic monstruosity on they flags. Great series of video btw. You gonna do the Moot next ? :3

[@dalakhsarothal9624]

Yeah I know, I was just kidding anyway.

[@tjmoorhouse390]

I've come across a few of your videos recommended via some other lore or Total War: WH vids and have really enjoyed them! Subbed while watching this, gonna also need a Stirland and Averland vid as well to determine who I crush..er..corrupt..er..visit first when playing Vampire Counts :D

[@DeepeyeLV]

I really enjoy these videos, your laconic and effective presentation. Thanks for sharing the knowledge :)

[@leopoldjenkins]

Really cool, as usual

[@attila535]

Ostermark is basicly like late medieval Hungary with Kislev being Poland.

[@Ohmi_nice]

Either hungary or lithuania

[@sovietheavy5500]

No Kislev is Russia not Poland

[@attila535]

@@sovietheavy5500 A bit of both. To my knowledge Russia didn't have winged hussars.

[@sovietheavy5500]

@@attila535 yes but bear is Russian National animal, Tzar is russian king, they have Russian and Ukrainian names not polish,. Only unit in kislev army that looks like winged hussars are cav everyone else is russia based.

[@hircane765]

Hey guys how about we would do some advertising for this channel so it gets the recognition it deserves? I dont have a stable income right now so I cant support him on patreon but I would love to help him out!

[@bolgert911]

your welcome love these vids.

[@thegreatbookofgrudges6953]

[@chriscalvin5083]

[@Venoxisguides]

STEFAN VON KESSEL!

[@rizzgubstjr8577]

Great game.

[@sghybtergbcu4urhndxqiuw]

Man was I disappointed when he never even tried to pronounce Menshenfresserhoffen.

[@TheAidiwashere]

Please do Reikland or Averland

[@kronosken8040]

Would love to see an army section.

[@giannipinotto4193]

they can add mordheim in the 2 game , maybe with skaven still there.

[@verbumclemens2105]

O hey, a warhammer lore youtuber who does not make racist jokes at every opportunity. Yay for you and yay for me! Subbed.

[@OldManMcLoyf]

Jokes are jokes.

[@triratna1397]

Ork lives doesn't matter.

[@kuropotato8097]

I can only think of major kill who fits that description. I don't think i'm aware of any others

[@kuropotato8097]

@Flekk Bone Gnawer I watch him regularly. Haven't seen him make fun of any particular race tho.

[@flyingpiggie979]

How the fuck do you have 5K subs when your videos almost always double that in views? Some videos bringing in more than tenfold that number. What is happening?

[@naveensilva2312]

Blinkysaurus Rex I agree he deserves way more, but I also love them so much I view the vids multiple times

[@Amazing20225]

Just any one province of the Empire has a deeper and richer lore than the entire Age Of Sigmar

[@hydrotic]

I just want those knights to take 1-5% attrition when not having freshly battled

[@lastdefenderofxhotl]

Surprised you didn't do Ostland considering Valmir is a much more known Elector count

[@yaboku1686]

How do you know when exatly total war warhammer is placed on the warhammer-timeline?

[@theineptgeneral8325]

Taking the coronation of Karl Franz as start date for Total War Warhammer as that is where the empire campaign starts and we have a solid date for it in the lore.

[@yaboku1686]

Ah, nice i thought about that too when i saw someone asking about it on Reddit :D

[@Bel9601]

PROVINCE VIDEO?! FUUUUUUCK YEEEEEAH

[@LucasOstermark]

My last name is Ostermark ayyy

[@SxTxferlife]

And one quick correction on an otherwise damn good video, magistrate is pronounced MAJ-IH-STRAIT not MAG-I-STRAIT

[@SxTxferlife]

Bro how are you not known more? The only lore guy I know is Arch Warhammer and he gets into politics waaay too much for my liking

[@adults_talking]

[@Inquisitor_Lelouch]

I'm guessing this is warhammer Hungary, right?

[@InquisitorThomas]

jh44574 that depends does Ostmark have Paprika?

[@zombielizard218]

jh44574 No they are Ostenberg (something like that) Apart of the Holy Roman Empire, Reikland is Austria, Marianburg is Holland, etc.

[@alyssinclair8598]

zombieLISKlizard I though Reikland was Prussia, seeing as they both have good heavy cavalry.

[@zombielizard218]

Well, they do both have heavy cavalry, but Prussia never lead the HRE. The Empire is the HRE, and Austria ruled the HRE.

[@IDontKnowYouWhoAreYou]

jeahehaeh you knightly little fucks with your crusade human depravity works wonders jeahehaehehaeeh FOR CHAOS BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD the seven deadly sins loves the crusaders and still loves them to this day mmmmmm sweet hatred and fear let it flow through you like water!
