I think it's pretty cool that vampirism spawned in Egypt and moved into Europe. (In Warhammer Fantasy)

[@Lardypants666]

I will close my eyes and dream of vampires

[@captaincokecan]

I only dreamt of the mash...the monster mash

[@loods2215]

Right behind you with that

[@Theoadreou]

Are you high too man?

[@anotherj4896]

Me to tonight

[@Arbiterjim]

The Warhammer mod for Bannerlord allows you to play these wars directly. Highly recommend, very fun to personally face off against the undead hordes

[@Gissigne]

“Very fun to personally face off against the undead hordes.” - Artillery handler Graff Vin-duff, when asked how he felt about fighting the undead while his friends and family were torn apart in the frontline.

[@JimmyK5505]

I wasn't smart enough to get it to run.

[@datdude119]

I have been looking for a warhammer fantasy channel for so long and I expected to find someone just reading summarissed lore and not this absolute gold mine, keep it up man!

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Welcome aboard brother!! Thanks for the kind words!🙌

[@howardhavardramberg333]

lost boys of warhammer out here gang gang

[@Duh-pro-of-23]

So Nagash's ring is basically a What If Sauron Had Gotten His Ring? scenario. Cool!

[@waynes.wilson6616]

Nagash is pretty much, Warhammer's Sauron and I love it so much

[@richter6699]

Best fantasy channel on youtube. This stuff is so good.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

🙌🙏 Thank you brother!

[@afflica7455]

Facts

[@MedievalFolkDance]

There is a real easy formula to Old World Warhammer. That being, whenever you hear the name Mannfred Von Carstein, expect things to go tits up.

[@Demoncorp]

Tbh everything Carstein 🤣

[@MedievalFolkDance]

@@Demoncorp Aww, have a heart. Vlad & Isabella is pretty much the only real love story in that whole saga. They also really sorted out Sylvania. Yes, the occasional child goes missing but, the crime rate is at an all time low!

[@Demoncorp]

@MedievalFolkDance don't get me wrong i love the carsteins. But lorewise they get 💯 hard L's

[@MedievalFolkDance]

@@Demoncorp Well, they're vamps. They never do well canonically. It's just a thing. Any kind of canibalism is heavily frowned upon. EDIT - This does not extend to the Skaven. Dirty rats are gonna dirty rat. It's actually in their betterment.

[@joshuawall2590]

Perfect video for the fall. Time to start up a vampire campaign on Total War!

[@MrCarlBackhausen]

Damn, these videos have gotten much better lately. Been watching since the first video and I must say, it is a massive difference now from back then. Way to go guys. This is awesome.

[@alexanderimmortal4354]

Keep the Vampire content coming bro it's my fav vids of yours 💪❤️❤️

[@shadowprowler2495]

Vampires in the lore: “I am an unstoppable force that can’t be bought” vampires in TWW3:”by sigmar, 3k?!?!?! Yeah man, sure I’ll stop the war”

[@thenoblepoptart]

I’m making a mod that will remedy this

[@jelmerbruin2180]

oh the art at 0:47 brings me back to the old warhammer books. Time to get the dust of and read them again

[@Dagoth9012]

If I remember correctly, Sigmar himself cursed all undead to ultimately fail and be defeated by his Heirs.

[@mylesdrake2949]

No, Nagash did for turning their backs on him during his fight with sigmar.

[@GaryBowen00]

I'm usually only into 40K but this is great. Thank you for your great content and storytelling.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@GaryBowen00]

@TheBookofChoyer It's even better that you reply Thank you! Your vampire series right now is just top notch. I don't know Age of Sigmar or Warhammer Fantasy at all. Even my wife who has started to hate 40K because I'm always playing KZbin was sucked in as she loves vampires. I didn't tell her it was Warhammer until she finished listening. I wanted to hear a true opinion and she asked me why I didn't listen to stuff like your content instead. Then I told her it was part of the Warhammer universe and she almost melted. I think in the end that's the ultimate compliment I can give you. My wife who will never be a fan of Warhammer, as a fan of your content.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

@@GaryBowen00 it is indeed! Thanks a lot for sharing that. For some reason these types of comments are some of the best to receive, people sharing good moments while watching/listening to the content. Makes all the effort worth it. Cheers Gary! 🙌

[@dre5055]

I still find it so random that the skaven gave a sword to kill Nagash wtf xD

[@ahmedjouhari8122]

Fantastic work

[@TheWarmachine375]

Vampires of Sylvania just wanted to go for very enthusiastic walks, alright

[@Hope-mc4ps]

The bird of hermes is my name

[@afflica7455]

#%&^%@s Love cannons!

[@Demoncorp]

Like a walk about....but grimdark 😂

[@benjaminotalora363]

Great video! I've been going through the Gotrek and Felix series, and the bit about Mordheim helped me understand what's going on in the book I'm currently on a little better lol

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

I genuinely look forward to these videos. It kinda sucks that the Mummies and Vampires have no “Good Guys” amongst them. In fact I'm pretty sure it was one of the Von Carstein's that caused the End Times to come about because they got greedy, but that's what happens when immortal jacka_ses forget what it's like to fight for survival and only think about power and domination not too different from Chaos.

[@wellhiyadude1]

It's tough to be good when the thirst is forcing you to drink the blood of mortal creatures on the regular

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

@@wellhiyadude1 Yet Sanguinis probably does it with almost no effort in 40k (which is a lie, since he likely wants to drink whole planets dry. Lmao). Honestly, it's not about being Good, but more so about not destroying your food source. If The World Ends where would those Vampires get their blood from? Plus I'm pretty sure had Von Carstein just followed the plan he could've become the God of Vampires and finally broken his people free from Nagash's control for good. So there's that too.

[@mylesdrake2949]

There are goodish undead. Abhorash is one. Arkhan, while he does serve Nagash, he also calls Nagash out on his bs.

[@rejectedwarinc.8614]

Wasn’t Vlad a “good” guy during the End Times? Or am I misremembering?

[@mylesdrake2949]

@rejectedwarinc.8614 Not anymore than Nagash would be. All undead, for the most part, teamed up with the living in the end times to stop Chaos till mannfred fucked things up. Vlad did have a moment though where he avenged Louen's ignoble death at the hands of Festus and thought his loss was a huge shame and thought he was a great man. Vlad also taught gelt necromancy.

[@tommygreene47]

Absolutely wonderful

[@patrickb1303]

Short version of the Vampire lore: They Suck.

[@some_1sgames877]

Not really, I'm mean Vlad because basically the defacto emperor during the end times after Karl's disappearance/death and is pretty much the biggest reason why the north held as long as it did

[@Lord_of_the_sixth_house]

​@@some_1sgames877 I think you missed the joke

[@cameronbaughman2090]

And the wicked shall drink the wine of his anger. Die with the beast. - manowar.

[@leonsaul7264]

Always thought if Warhammer Fantasy was to get a live action adaptation then the First Vampire War should be the main story thread. All the political intrigue and Empire being dividied with 3 claimants, the timeline also has some other events happening around the same time. You've got Mordheim being destroyed in 1999 IC, Finubar beginning his adventures, the 4th war with Morghur and the Wood Elves. Can do Repanse who is just before Vlad and the dragon Emperor/Empress go missing around this time so can do something with that to trap into the Chinese market as well

[@thrawn69]

I hope you guys do 40k lore soon

[@afflica7455]

I still main vlad, even though us few vampire Count mains that remain... desperately thirsty for a rework of our faction. I personally mod my campaigns now since TW3 😢 especially trash skeleton archers and upkeep for skellies and zoms as it balances against chaos factions.

[@Bapa_nada]

When your leader's name is Vlad you know he'll invade neighbours 😂

[@deadman0315]

Please do adds at the very start or end. It’s very immersion breaking

[@DB-pw9md]

Mousillon! Please do a video on the brettonian vampires.

[@privateeyety5735]

Vampire time Witches! Guitar solo*

[@navox933]

What is the mod used at 1:00:00 for the dwarf with the flame staff?

[@fantasybound3001]

Woohh! Let's gooo!

[@TheBrymanCometh]

Is this the fantasy version of luetins 40k series?? Fuck yeah.

[@jackrogers5712]

Who would be stupid enough to mock someone like Conrad for anything lol play stupid games win stupid prizes

[@oatlylatte9]

where is karl franz during this period?

Gota say. Every vampire sounds like an orc

[@mckilly1819]

AAAAwe yeah book of choyer give me that sweet sweet warhammer fantasy lore dosage! thank you so much sir!

[@sev5348]

The new Midnight Aristocracy will succeed in a 4th and final Vampire war bringing the world and even the End Times to its knees!

[@vulcranstorm2023]

Just an idea how about next famous orc waaaghs.

[@WhiteCedarsGamersjournal]

I wish the vampire armies were really vampires, not undead or skeletons. this would've been awesome.

[@cody1570]

Honestly man. If I was a lich or vampire, I would have literally taken over cities and built it better then the empire. Attempting to have the populace prosper. People who fear but respect you fight alot harder then people who just fear you. Ensuring that you have an unlimited supply of dead growing over the years along with living soldiers to man the cities and such. Replace labor with the dead so as to allow for more peoples to either train or become engineers allowing for more advanced technology. Along with training more necromancers who would be the police force, allowing for more atonomy. And when you create a church of yourself as a savior, the citizenry would warship you as a fearful savior who made their lives better in a way and allowed them to live better lives under your rule. But thats just me playing too much total warhammer...

[@mylesdrake2949]

The Dhar that suffuses the undead makes being incorruptible hard.

[@Demoncorp]

Like fr. Sure there is some abstract horror in using skeletal labor, in the hand total prosperity with little labor. Like check it out everyone in my village has homes 3x the size of everyone across the land.

[@Cezili]

There's many typos in the captions, it sometimes makes it hard to follow along.

[@knarftahw]

You know a character is op (Vlad) when the writing turns to shit. A regular human snuck past an undead horde And removed a ring from a vampire lords hand ... ... No.

[@kavalekcoach]

Mate a bit too many commercials. It’s getting distracting to the point I don’t want to listen, as much as I love the content.
