I didn't expect that me pointing out that Colin forgot to mention the VC's would lead to this. But it feels good to have mentally dominated him.

[@noway8259]

Darn it I feel dumb, I just left a comment like that and now I see this video!

[@michaellimone224]

I like it, we need more fantasy lore

[@noway8259]

@@michaellimone224 Have you seen the Great Book Of Grudges? He keeps getting in interviews with the people currently writing the lore so that mught help scratch that itch?

[@pancreasnowork9939]

And then Mannfred von Carstein said “it’s von Carsteining time” and von Carsteined all over Balthasar Gelt

KZbin is trying to translate this but when I click on it, nothing happens. I think you broke Google translate.

[@tristanwood1308]

You’re damn right he did

[@leodhasw-s3739]

Would really enjoy a fireside chat of the Woodelves?

[@gammothdraws]

And still no Vlad video, even a year later. It's still in the Book of Grudges Colin

[@nerdyvids1]

The fact that Nagash cursed vampires with their classic weaknesses out of annoyance is so hilariously on brand for him.

[@big_tymerro]

“Nagash throws a hissy fit and kills the entire Nurgle daemon army with one blow, because his version of a hissy fit is a WMD” is such a good line. And it also perfectly encapsulates Nagash’s character!

[@alanolex3962]

"YOU FORBID?" [Nagash's fleshless jaw sagged in what might have been laughter.] "YOU FORBID NOTHING, LITTLE FLEA. YOU SIMPLY SERVE." -Nagash to Mannfred von Carstein

[@Brutalyte616]

Funny story. Mannfred tried using an army composed almost entirely of undead to wage a lightning war across the Empire during Winter, intending on taking the capital and declaring himself Emperor in less than a year. He did this because, in his mind, Vlad would have lost the war against the Empire anyways even if he still had his ring because he took too long waging a conventional war with too many mortal soldiers to look after. This was sound logic on Mannfred's part, except he'd failed to realize Vlad wasn't just being a good sport; he was actually taking the Empire way more seriously than Mannfred ever did. Vlad had a lot of weaker vampire subordinates that could act as champions in a pinch when the hordes of undead simply didn't hit hard enough, and he went through the trouble of fielding a mortal army in addition to his zombies and skeletons because humans don't spontaneously combust when some dude with a bad haircut starts reading Sigmar's phone book out loud. Manfred, being a self-absorbed dumbass that thought he was so much smarter than dear old daddy Vladdy, didn't figure this part out until his undead army was literally falling apart in front of him and realized that he didn't have enough vampire subordinates or mortal soldiers to pick up the slack, because he spent the last century or so since Vlad's deafeat killing most of the vampires in Sylvania, and he'd deliberately planned this campaign to be as inconvenient to the lives of mortals as possible. In short, there is a reason there is a meme of Nagash screaming at Mannfred, and it's not because he stopped Vlad from being the next Settra the Imperishable, although that's definitely MY biggest reason to scream at Manfred's sorry pale ass. #VladVonCarsteinForEmperor #EmpressIsabellaVonCarstein No it's because Mannfred done *F U C K E D U P T O O M A N Y T I M E S ! ! !*

[@big_tymerro]

Apart from Sigmar, priests of Morr are very dedicated to the eradication of the undead, which makes sense since Morr is the imperial god of death. There’s also a group of vampire hunters with a personal vendetta against vamps. To start this profession in the Roleplay, you need to have at least one mental illness and the only advancement from this profession is “a brutal death in a puddle of blood”. The only other profession to have death as the final advancement are Dwarf daemon Slayers. Coincidentally, the hunters are called vampire slayers.

[@skeith1543]

In regards to the Vampire's weaknesses, It's actually a battle of wills. Thought and belief makes things happen in the warhammer world, and it's no different for undead who are, by the way, remarkably similar to the daemons. Your basic undead are just corpses puppeted by magic, but the likes of Vampires or spirits are more akin to Daemons. As a result, Symbols of Faith only hurt vampires if the person wielding them has total faith in them and a stronger will then the vampire in question. If the Vampire doesn't believe that the symbol will hurt him, then His resistance to it comes down to whom is stronger in Will power and belief. Someone like Vlad wouldn't be bothered by some random priest, but Volkmar or any grand theogenist for that matter would make him think twice.

[@whitewampa2910]

I love Ushoran and the Strigany. Wonderful lil evil ancient being protecting buncha randos. Ushoran is another contender to Vlad and Izzy for “Most Decent for Vampires”

[@Erika_Redmark]

Ladies, get yourself a man that looks at you the way Vlad looks at Isabella 👌

[@Anym1088]

Can’t wait for the happiest married couple in Warhammer.

[@DeToxin-Toxy]

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

If the British went ahead and buried a mortal man like Napoleon in 4 layers of coffin (tin, mahogany, lead and mahogany in that order), I can only imagine Vlads own burial arrangement being just as funny.

[@big_tymerro]

At long last, we get more fantasy content. I hope there’s more to come!

[@jefrosiers8880]

lizardmen, tomb kings, goblins and also the story of the Strigi and the empire of strigos! also woodelves!!! are all great topic to cover

[@DeToxin-Toxy]

I’m kind of happy Colin didnt really delve into the fact that Nurgle literally mind broke Isabella in her revival by changing her memories to make her think Vlad never loved her and was only using her before making her lead his armies for ‘revenge’ against Vlad It’s like the plot of an ugly bastard, NTR fanfic based off warhammer fantasy which is what the End times are to me, a crappy fanfic Final point: Nurgle really wanted that Isabelle Von Carstussy

[@nerdyvids1]

On the flip side, it’s kind of a shame that he didn’t mention how Vlad freed her from Nurgle by giving her his ring and then making the same suicide play that was used against him.

[@lachlangardner2080]

Did she realise he did love her in the end?

[@lachlangardner2080]

Did she realise he did love her in the end?

[@lachlangardner2080]

[@beefmonstr4644]

Between that and the Isha jar, I think it's pretty clear that "Happy Grandfather" Nurgle is just a pervy old man.

[@zirpharis]

I want the next episode to be Collin explaining why Morathi is the hottest waifu in Warhammer and start a gofundme page to make high end dakimakura arts of her. SFW and NSFW art twice each that goes into production at cuddlyoctopus. If the goal is fullfilled twice there will also be a Karl Franz one.

[@chrisroberts7000]

I imagine the stuff in the ghoul stars is the closest to anti-chaos undead in 40K, and they are mixed amongst the unspeakable Lovecraft horrors.

[@MyGreengecko]

If i remember correctly, then the lifehack Vlad used to break Nagash's control through the ring. By killing himself and not reviving until Nagash is dead, so he cant be controlled

[@Anym1088]

Can’t wait for the Vampire Coast just for having the best song in Total Warhammer

[@akumaking1]

Will the Vampire Coast get a mention? Do you think they’ll be integrated into AoS?

[@SamueL-td7fb]

3/4 of the cast: what the fuck is AoS?!

[@nerdyvids1]

Boy I hope so. They’d be a perfect rival for the Deepkin.

[@michaelsantamaria5295]

AOS 1.0 had a Legion of Nagash subfaction call the Wraith Fleet rule by a Varkos Varactyr where you can play Vampirates and the current Soulblight Gravelords still mention Varkos Varactyr and his vampire piracy in the realm of fire and confirm he his own Soulblight Dynasty so who know mabye one day we'll get something in the future

[@harryballantyne398]

What we really need for Fantasy Fireside next time is a good dwarfin'

[@D_Doyle]

Super excited for the next Fantasy Fireside, it’s super informative on the fantasy setting. Although it’s not exactly a faction I’m super interest in, I’d love to see an episode on the Empire of Man. I think that’d be useful to contextualise the ‘protagonist’ faction

[@timothyh5632]

I'd love an episode on either the Wood or Dark Elves. I absolutely love my knife-eared bastards, but I could never get into the clean, colonial style of the High Elves.

[@micah766]

With the lizardmen getting new models, I think it'd be interesting to delve into their characters and lore.

[@skeith1543]

AHH, at 1:10, you are speaking of Zacharias the Everliving. a Necharch Vampire. Dude had a Zombie Dragon mount. the very same Zombie dragon He managed to kill by Slowly feeding off it while it was sleeping.

[@anlize3422]

Since we're on March and Collin is already on a roll, how about trying to cover the Empire?

[@Readingeye]

Great stuff. Speaking of Humans being the focal point; how about next time we hear about the lizardmen and their stuff?

[@nathanbunnel1368]

Yes I've been so excited about the next episode

[@Nervete]

"They're just pale people" Says Collin, the Elf Simp.

[@pajurr9437]

Heck yeah what a great video !

[@robrib2682]

The only thing that I can compare the equivalent of nagash fully reforming into the old war world for 40K would be if a full strength ctan kinda just appeared when cadia fell and started eating imperial saints so it could punch chaos in the face

[@mememindmind1010]

I think if I recall theres a background vampire character that helps Franz Lohner in Vermintide.

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

The guy you spoke of at the end was Zacharias the Everliving, an old Necrarch character that consumed his teacher Melkhior who in turn had consumed W'soran many years before.

[@Brutalyte616]

Bit late to be saying this, but watching you guys go down the Vampire The Masquerade rabbithole or, God forbid, the World of Darkness rabbithole would be quite entertaining. So possibly something to consider as a future Halloween special or something since you're obviously not confined to just Warhammer.

[@YellowHornet42]

Awesome episode guys! Y’all are really getting me into fantasy! Id love to hear more about the lizard men. I play them in total war and think they’re pretty neat but don’t know much about their lore. Great vid guys!

[@tristanwood1308]

This Video was an absolute MANNFRED Sweep!

[@glasslaughter824]

I actually would like if the huurd were the vampire equivalent in 40k for the Vampire Counts

[@alexbrown7708]

24:10 gotta get those Vlad Bucks.

[@vktrlndwll95]

Man I love these. Super comfy.

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

I love the Vampire Counts. They were my favourite faction on the tabletop. A little late to the party, but from what I remember the guy that Vlad was killed by was a Sigmarite whom Vlad duelled atop the city's ramparts...and when he was losing, he tackled Vlad and threw the both of them onto the wooden stakes erected around the outer walls. Vlad the Impaled, if you will. I believe the Sigmarite was tipped off as to Vlad's missing ring, which is why he opted for this approach.

[@Warpwaffel]

That guy was the Great Theogonist (Sigmar pope) and he knew about the missing ring, because he gave the mission to steal it to the thief, after being told about it by a mysterious stranger aka Manfred.

[@thebackup2121]

I'm pleased you pointed out that Sylvania has more in common with Romania, than the rest of the Empire's mostly Germanic roots - Another excellent video! 😄

[@djbeast2145]

My favorite vampire count is the one from sesame street, alas he was too great for the Warhammer world and GW had to end fantasy because of it

[@giorgaras1851]

Could you talk about tyrion in the next episode

[@shadowwalker3958]

I would refuse. Immortality is a punishment not a gift.

[@mumbo_fuze2484]

Please do the Wood Elves

[@izurukamukura2262]

Okay an idea for a video would be the creation of the warhammer fantasy world, the lizardmen and or the old ones

[@LordTheCyril]

Colin loves Bretonnia so do something on them! But in all seriousness a deep dive on the dark elves vs high elves thing would be cool.

[@cambabamba4159]

You should talk about the Lizardmen next! Especially Oxyotyl, the skink who is just Warhammer's version of Doomguy.

[@Elyseon]

Vampire Hulk Hogan clan when?

[@decnal24]

Dark Elves pls

[@user-cq1cw8xz7f]

Do the skaven! Skaveeen

[@Mixu.]

I feel like I never hear anything about the Lizardmen. Do they just not have a lot going for them, or what's up? Dinosaur dudes sound like they should be cool for a video at least.

[@dukedevlan5457]

If you want a 40k equivalent to Nagash in terms of personality, look no further than Erebus

[@FilkoSempai]

please talk about elfs

[@Danielzabojca]

Maybe a vid about Malal?

[@steliosvagianos8445]

Nagash is genuinely my favorite evil character pretty much ever
