[@user-ph9ng9fd6n]

man the hochland long rifles got fucking a fucking package

[@monoono4051]

This is the real reason they are called long rifles.

[@QueenInora]

Perfectly on display for Squigs, looks very juicy

[@okupant880]

The Third Leg gets in the way of melee so they went with rifles.

[@aguywhonoticed9061]

And as ussual looking like a bunch of homeless guys. Empire dress code like always looks terrible, that enginer hero... my gosh, afford some better clothes man. This is why i rather play Kislev than Empire. At least even cossars looks good in their clothes.

[@josgretf2800]

@@okupant880 I like to think they deploy them like tripods

Finally. With the Master Engineer steam tank mount, I can complete a full Franzer Division

Go with Kirov reporting with Dwarfs there.😂

Damn they give Theodore a new weapon and a helmet when he’s mounted? That’s sick

[@blugger]

Probably to just reuse existing demigryph knight animations

[@pogo8050]

@@blugger I don’t think the helmet makes a difference in that regard

[@Nushnark]

Whoever designed and animated the Nurgle units should get some praise, since the unit are absolutely disgusting, just like Papa Nurgle intended.

[@BearPawSwipe]

The toad dragon digging for nose gold was pretty unsettling. XD

[@kili223]

@@BearPawSwipe Especially when it found the nose gold but the nose gold was actually some king of living thing because of course it was alive with nurgle

[@seanzibonanzi64]

Did that toad dragon just pull out a booger and eat it? 🤣 Next level animations

[@CBRN-115]

Very beffiting of a Nurgle unit

[@gamingwolf6735]

Not to mention it pulled out some large maggots along with it

[@hxrd_christ]

It looked like a nurgly parasite too

[@RoyalPhoenix2015]

That volly gun steam tank model is NICE. Hope they give the Og a face lift as well

[@TheAtlasReview]

Something I'd love to see is a better death animation. Panels falling off, the turret getting blasted into the air, jets of steam and engine shrapnel flying out. At the moment is just sort of... folds.

[@deanjacobsen7173]

They did - original steam tanks model looks a lot better

[@Tyler-nh6op]

I wished the knights of black rose had a on foot variant as well, they have an awesome design and I feel they fit Elspeth's death design

[@Ranieri69er]

someone will make them a mod

[@williamhenry773]

Radious has that

[@Tyler-nh6op]

[@Candlemancer]

Foot knights for multiple factions would be great, but I doubt we'll ever see it.

21:03 Vampire Coast: "Hide the rum."

[@nick3xtremegaming212]

"Why is the rum always gone?"

[@ravenguard0098]

The Dawi get a functioning Air Force built on Science and Technology whilst the Empire snorts gunpowder due to their gunlines getting even more stronger due to the new additions and also unleashes its own advanced if not its more esoteric technology even if its just a ship given wheels and acts as a gun platform and mechanical horses(God I can't wait for mods that will add Knights on mechanical horses even better if armed with guns).

[@Frederatorr]

I'm ngl this is the DLC I've most been ever excited for

[@SerryJeinfeld32]

Ive always been a Dwarf kinda guy, very happy about this

[@piotrwisniewski70]

​@SerryJeinfeld32 i always prefered gunpowder units, so more units that can do "BOOM" is good

[@lucho6883]

Sigmar be praised! A bloody STEAM TANK!

[@ross.metcalf]

I'm a huge dwarf fan, but honestly the new Empire units have me the most excited. The long rifles, heavy cav, steam tank lord mount, a LL with a dragon! What nice additions.

[@Hyperschark001]

thats a grudgin that goes into the book!

[@Lardcraf]

Empire Men are PACKING

[@JakubMensik-dd4op]

steam tank with volley gun is really giving „get me closer i wanna hit them with my sword“ . its nice to see some crossovers from 40k

[@CommanderTavos99]

FINALLY SOME CONTENT ABOUT THE EMPIRE MY GOD!!!

[@TheStranger077]

The empire got 4 dlcs across the 3 games while Vampire Counts only got one, tf are ypu talking about?

[@TheStranger077]

Spoiled empire brats

[@draconomega]

@@TheStranger077 The empire is spoiled? 1 DLC in the first game and 1 on the second game.... While lizardmen and skaven got 3 on just one game... : / This isnt even including the state the empire was a the moment btw

[@catodes1295]

​​@@TheStranger077 I do agree the Vampire Counts needs more shit but this update for the Empire is well deserved. It's current state is not good

[@TheStranger077]

@@draconomega Yes, the empire is SPOILED. It only got so much contend because of fame, don't try to deny the obvious

[@chaotix7275]

Ngl i was pretty dissappointed by the Nurgle Chaos lord when i saw a picture of him, but he looks much better in action. Hopefully he is going to have some new attack animations as well. Overall, this DLC seems fantastic so far

[@SwineofWar]

The new dwarf units look amazing. I can't wait to try them.

[@The77Voice]

I feel like the models for the new rakers weren't very good in comparison to the rest. Their movements felt horribly mismatched. Maybe they were the last models done and time got away.

[@Mortarion-xt9wp]

To be honest it still irks me that we now have Slayer lords. I get that it is cool and it certainly is but it massively contradicts the lore.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

​@@Mortarion-xt9wpit's good to get slayer lords because all slayer armies are now decently possible

[@florians9949]

Although I have my doubts on the usefullness of some of these units.

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

9:51 That animation is positively nasty. xD 11:02 Yeesh! That too! Absolutely disgusting. I love it! 14:19 Another one, this time on the right! That is one HUGE maggot! 20:27 SHORT?! 21:30 NO ALLIANCE! 22:10 THRONE-BEARERS!

[@CBRN-115]

That toad dragon is picking its nose using the tongue is alrady disgusting, but eating it? Damn. Very dirty. Nurgle is proud

[@gammothdraws]

"Short? SHORT!!!!!!???????"

[@FortisLeader]

Yay! The Empire got an update finally. You know what to do, SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!

[@chilliewhk]

This is not just the best DLC for Warhammer 3, it's probably one of the best in the trilogy. Amazing units all round. The update itself is also one of the best for Warhammer 3 so far. I am very happy with what CA is giving us this time around.

[@DeadlyGrub]

8:30 The wonder of the Age also has Terror that should be very important to note.

[@kevinstobbs9134]

The Chaos Lord of Nurgle looks way cooler than the screenshot seemed!

[@ad3z10]

Excited that I'll be able to play the first army I took to Warhammer World for a GW store tournament. Was 2v2 so I went with a Nuln themed gun line using Nuln ironsides. Shame Jubal Falk is missing as a legendary lord option which would truly make it.

[@OrdinaryKnight]

Guns for my Empire and actual temptation to make slayer only armies. I like it. I'll admit I'm looking at Nurgle mostly to see what new units my Archeon and Beastmen runs will get.

[@andreykatsiv4626]

zerk it's always a pleasure seeing your videos simple yet very helpful

[@dipdippotatochip9636]

I wonder if the Rot Knights will be the top of the Nurgle warband tree for cavalry as a warrior of chaos, similar to how Khorne has bloodcrushers and Tzeench has the doom knights.

[@ragnarokivae6136]

The changes to the steam tanks with rotating towers and officers seems like a preparation for a total war Warhammer 40k. Imagine a leman russ tank in total war

[@kushnkanopy8940]

yea in 2030s assuming the company still exist

[@levibridges683]

Ground floor baby. Summon the elector counts!!!!

[@_Meriwether]

Empire Engineer (Hero) has more missile strength than SEVEN Dwarf Bolt Throwers combined. Make it make sense

[@Zerkovich]

This is pre-release rememeber. Numbers aren't final.

[@TtotheCizzel]

head shots

[@konstantinriumin2657]

It's the same with Gyrobomber - machine gun volley weapons are like that

[@lehelkiss3919]

That missile damage is destributed over 10 seconds though.

[@_Meriwether]

@@lehelkiss3919 So is the Bolt Thrower.

[@Gaisapea]

Love this video you do for every DLC showcasing the units, but missed two Nurgle RoR in this one.

[@fisch3392]

Been looking forward to this video! Thanks Zerk!

[@jaimexcas]

I always wait for these videos, your formate is unique!!

[@crowwellan741]

Damn I wadn't expecting the mechanical steed, that looks so cool

[@shadowofhawk55]

I love the Demigriff’s signature look of superiority. Really nice touch.

[@Manwu5]

Love those kind of videos well done brother

[@sesambernd6467]

Quality stepped up a fair bit regarding the units from the previous one!!

[@Gullington]

Great breakdown. Super excited game 1 factions getting more love.

[@ShaDO118k]

Dude, I feel like they really nailed it with the units in this dlc, it's a shame Kislev didn't get this much love in shadows of change🥺.

[@tyraels]

nice video as always, but you missed 2 of the new RORs for nurgle

[@fernandoarrue87]

Shadows of Decay had me so bummed I took a 6 month break. Its good to be back, and good to see you still at it, Zerk

[@bleizh_le_rat]

It look really cool but im really disapointed that malakai dont get his unique battleship as a mount

[@emixam6947]

I cannot describe how happy I am that we finally have a chaos sorcerer of Nurgle. Do you realize how long I've been wanting to take Lords like Kholek, Archaon or Valkia in the chaos roster and give them access to healing?

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

Valkia still won't be able to get them since she's limited to Undivided and Khorne, no Nurgle Sorcerers for her but Kholek, Archaon, Be'lakor, and Sigvald will benefit from this (and Festus too but that was already obvious)

[@Hatypus]

Hope that the arrival of the land ship will also allow you to use Marienburg colours in skirmishes or multiplayer battles.

[@cranberry2490]

I think you missed one or two RoR for Nurgle? I seem to recall they showed some more Regiments of Renown in their closer look video.

[@Z-1991]

Pestigors look so much way better than the Tzaangors from SoC. They really put more effort on ToD.

[@Tyler-nh6op]

I am SURE there will be multiple upgrades either in tech tree or through some design to give Goblin Hewer's more ammunition, probably not more than 6-8 but 2 without a guarantee hit will be underpowered late game.

[@Mile2357]

Probably my favourite DLC/Patch ever. I can't think of any other that comes even close, not just because of great new units, but for all the reworks we are getting as well.

[@adrianbunea2006]

As someone who always plays Empire whenever I reinstall the game, I am so happy for all the new units and characters. Balthazar Gelt campaign incoming.

[@CBRN-115]

Man I was waiting for your video

[@AxleDoomrod]

Look at the legs on those long rifles! Absolutely caked up and their ROR looks like they dont even lift by comparison.

[@storytsunami]

You missed some RoR Nurgle Units, but I guess you were focusing on the new units and their RoR?. In addition to the Rotting Riders, there's also The Angels of Decay (Plague Drones-Death's Head) and Noxbringer (Soul Grinder of Nurgle) I don't know their unique mechanics, but I did read an article that named the RoR for Nurgle.

[@andresr.viguera9791]

This is a great upgrade in quality for DLCs! Great job, CA!

[@therookieodst4261]

2:00 I can see some pretty cool mods coming out of this horse

[@jamesrosenbaum8770]

wow... I might actually play the empire now.

[@Monson3]

The road dragon’s animations made me visibly recoil, good job to CA on that!

[@StrideRunner68]

So this DLC drops April 30th just finished a choas play through but forgot to look at the achievements to see what I Missed after the win... might have to load it up just to upgrade a general up a path...

[@Kingjimbo100]

These look fun! Looking forward to it

[@vatsal7640]

Damn, almost every single unit here is absolutely 🔥🔥 Well done CA!!

[@alirezarezaei2976]

at 1:27 I just love how he oiled his gun🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edit: And boy oh boy there lots of oils Also why do all of those Nurgle Trolls look like Grom the paunch🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣?!

[@complexemotions338]

The vampire coast did think of it first, it's just their land ship is a fucking robot.

[@tovarishlumberjack2356]

the new units seem awesome, all of them pretty thematic and interesting, not a single were i thought, "meeh wont use it anyway"

[@Revarger]

Great video as always, but would love to see the price of each unit as well.

[@aliG2500]

The master engineer might be my favorite Lord of the game now. He’s an absolute beast when it comes to demolishing infantry mobs. I’ve consistently had him have the highest kill count of anyone else in my army in the majority of battles he’s involved in.

[@ZCid47]

😮 Okay... They really apper to have taken the criticisms about content at heart. And now you can buy per faction is even better (buying the empire and dwarfs)

[@AliothAncalagon]

I am not quite sure about the Goblin Hewers concept and its obviously a little sad that GW probably told CA that they couldn't do repeater rifles for the Ironsides, but overall its a tasty looking package.

[@vojtik135]

It yeets axes people.

[@AliothAncalagon]

@@vojtik135 And on the TT it yeeted axes at a huge range. Which would have allowed a legit Slayer only stack with artillery. Now it seems that all we got is a regular slayer unit with a special single use short range attack. Looking at its great animation that just seems like a huge waste. But hey, nothing mods can't fix.

[@patrickvasconcelos3001]

Ungrim will eat good this night. ^^ I do found interesting the grudge-racker, really looking forward to see what those lads do.

[@RatchildUK]

Hell yea he will. As awesome as Malakai is I'm more excited for the Ungrim buffs.

[@witlinekris5791]

6:00 nice attaction to detail. Sword in bag...

[@squirrely_wrath]

thats how you spot the additional units they addet after the soc shitstorm, slayer pirates aswell and a few more

[@Varloth]

Goblin hewer with the stalk artillery banner could be pretty ridiculous for an alpha strike against a big nasty coming in

[@ShadowNetWeaver1]

I'm a little disappointed that the Ironsides don't have repeater rifles like in the trailer, but everything else makes up for it. The dlc looks absolutely beautiful!

[@taintedgoose9138]

For reals, I thought it was a missed opportunity not making a repeater rifle unit. But whatever, I’m still happy with what empire got

[@darthplagueis13]

They talk about it in the blog post. In essence, they changed their mind about it because the Nuln Ironsides just use high quality handguns in the lore.

[@ShadowNetWeaver1]

@@darthplagueis13 Meaning it was likely Games Workshop being helicoptering CA again, like they did with the beaks for Tzaangors.

[@SlantedNick]

Yo Hochland Long Rifles packing more than long rifles....

[@Hyperschark001]

Finally, a legendary lord for serious turtle dawi firepower tactics. And now with the changes and new units you also can lay firepower on enemies from air AND ground. So fuckin good.

[@Astroman10]

8:25 - hahaha look at those little hand cannons

[@arcana5625]

A Malakai/Espeth Von Drakon coop campaign would be fun. Assuming Malakai can heal Empire Warmachines, having him as an allied army would be fun.

[@chrisskross91]

Looks great ! Interested to see the new campain mechanics. For the dwarfs I am a bit less enthusiastic because the new units are not really changing the way the race feels at least on paper. The additions on Nurgle and Empire rosters look fantastic though. Overall very excited to start a new campaign (far more than the previous DLC to be honest)

[@lukaspodany5210]

I hope that in time we will see other rulers of provinces

[@nicourrea670]

the push to 250k is coming. Top tier video thanks

[@mactiger98]

I was begging for a thunderbarge-adjacent unit ever since total warhammer 1, it's surreal to finally get it

[@discipleofdagon8195]

Almost thought Elspeth was a forest spirit for a second because god-damn... wood

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

Very happy with the Empire additions

[@marcgw496]

Glad to be getting some more melee cav in the game

[@sim.frischh9781]

So Empire and Dwarfs get a significant upgrade to their ranged capacities. Nurgle gets a definite upgrade as well, especially in the Speed department.

Seems like the hochland rifles are the ones with the long dong regiment of renown.

[@Aa-zc8di]

Faith, Steel and GUN FUCKING POWDER

[@paleface171]

I had to do a double take when you were talking about the bubolis toad dragon mount. When it started digging it's nose for a snack I wasn't paying attention the first time. 9:54 Nurgle units are gross.

[@rollnycgaming2279]

Those Knights of the Black Rose look epic!

[@Nagstersept109868]

The empire stuff is a Total War Warhammer 40k beta. One thing I think Total War Warhammer 40k needs to have is varying maximum army sizes for different factions: 10 unit max for Space Marines lets each one be more OP, 25 or 30 for Imperial guard with heavy tanks or big artillery units costing 2 unit points each. Total War Warhammer 40k has so much potential as a game but I don't think CA will reach it.

[@amoney1421]

Im here for nurgle mainly im shocked they didnt give pox maggoths wtf but i love all the content we've gotten for them
