Why You SUCK with Kholek

[@BlakesTakes420]

A lot of folks have been reaching out to say they can't access the Summoners of Rage from turn 1. You need to go onto Total war access and claim them (They're free and a very good unit) Follow the link below and make an account, you'll also get a lot of other goodies too: dashboard.totalwar.com/home

[@Volper1]

Honestly this was the first build where I stopped and said “wait, no I don’t.” Aside from Chorfs, Warriors of chaos is my favorite faction, I just prefer Archeon as a character to Kholek, though he is usually my first confederation target. Because he is still really cool.

[@BlakesTakes420]

I think confederation is definitely a great incentive to play the warhost of the apocalypse over the heralds. I agree.

[@Volper1]

@@BlakesTakes420 it’s not that Kohlek isn’t cool, because he definitely is, I just like Archeon more. I rarely even play the monopod champions because he’s just that cool.

[@Booklat1]

[@inductivegrunt94]

"When all you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail." And Kholek has a pretty big hammer, and a lot of nails in his way. The tip for reason 1 is pretty funny using Kholek in ambush stance considering how massive he is. But a great tip is a great tip, the humor in it is just a bonus to such a great and clever scheme worthy of Tzeentch.

[@BlakesTakes420]

Thank you for the lovely comment, I recall in warhammer 1 that Kholek had some debuff to ambush defense chance or something to reference his gargantuan size.

[@Rewwgh]

@@BlakesTakes420 I generally agree with the Nurgle preference, their sorcerers and heroes work the best with monster armies in my experience. I am a bit mixed on Grimgor as a vassal though. Because there's a higher risk than usual of him grabbing a Dark Fortress Site and he doesn't do any trading, I might steer away from him. There have been campaigns where I've left him alone and some where I've destroyed him early. And I think I prefer destroying him early overall.

[@danielgloyd4529]

I absolutely love your "why you suck" videos. The opening and presentation are hilarious to me. Your voice and the tone of feeling like I am being talked down to makes it even more entertaining.

Normally, I hate video titles that make assumptions about me. "10 facts you didn't know about..."

Then I scrolled through some more and was like, "Yeah, I do suck with Katarin, I do suck with the Empire, I do suck with Khorne".

[@vahlen5281]

Kholek's wonky animations are probably one of the main reasons why he sometimes struggles against single entities when on paper he should absolutely demolish them. Big L for CA that they didn't update them as well when Archaon got his new moves in the CoC update. On another topic, I think Arkhan is a prime candidate for a guide; poor dude is stuck crapstacking in the ass end of Nehekhara with nothing but angry midgets and Frenchmen around him.

[@redluke8119]

I agree

[@BlakesTakes420]

yep he could definitely do with a touch up. He does this animation where he rears up on his hind legs , but it bugs and he just cancels it, it's pretty goofy.

[@Zwijger]

[@leogimain]

Absolutely been loving the videos! This one is great as well! I would like to see an update after the Thrones of Decay DLC. I did want to say that the strategy in reason 3 has been significantly harder to pull off now that the above Nurgle faction has a new legendary lord with some very powerful heroes ready to take "The Challenging Stone" right after you deal with the Tusked Sunz. May not be entirely consistent but after 2-3 runs it feels like Tamurkhan always destroys your Northern vassal and puts up a very hard fight for your capital by turn 5-9. This fight is mostly hard due to them having Anti-Large Rot Knights and Hero good at killing heroes on every run.

[@BlakesTakes420]

Thank you sir! It was an unfortunate choice of mine to do Kholek now that he's directly on Tamurkhan's warpath

[@xaldrortenderofthevats8948]

@@BlakesTakes420 and is Tamurkhan's campaign goal to kill, which means the AI is automatically at war with Kholek turn 1. my strategy since then has changed to kill the sunz, give their shit to Dolgan so they stay alive, and then hard pivot north to Tamurkhan and maybe evict Archaon while i'm up there assuming Grimgor is distracted by some random ogres.

[@isthianlyon1706]

I think the advice to keep your sorcerers undivided if people are struggling is a good idea and agree you don't need the other lores. That being said, when you're able to better know where you'll need your caster during battle the chaos warshrines are a big buff for an army (more magic from tzeentch or free mortis engine aoe from slaanesh), and that along with fun lores make the devoted casters quite valuable. Getting to this point for WoC is easier than most factions since you're such a powerhouse and are often best served by murder ball tactics - or close enough for 40m buff at least :).

[@BlakesTakes420]

Yeah the devoted casters are fine but the souls spent I think are better served with your exalted heroes and Lords

For the last tip, never seek alliance with your other warrior of chaos colleagues, just crush them and vassalize them. I rushed K'datha then Archaon province and vassalize him in the end, I had made a peace treaty with the first greenskins ennemy and so never bother going into the mountains of mourn. also for a WoC the general rule of the thumb is to get many fortresss as possible in the early game. And my favourite god to go with kholek was Tzeentch and so basically smash Vilitch 's face and proven that i am the worthiest guy to represent Tzeentch.

So at least for my runs and maybe it's because I wasn't using nurgle lords and heroes, but the Dragon Ogre Shaggoths always felt like they underperformed compared to the standard Dragon Ogres. While I'm sure following following my ABCs (Always Be Charging) can make Shaggoths shine, being able to turn off my brain and throw standard Dragon Ogres at a problem without worrying about them just getting snipped by ranged units and the higher model count allowing them to really tear through infantry faster always felt more valuable. Giants felt much more reliable given their model makes them fairly safe against Anti Large and they also don't get stuck in infantry blobs as much as the Shaggoths do from my experience. I'll give my next Kholek run a shot with the Nurgle lords and heroes as that might be what it takes for me to see the true potential in the Shaggoths. Beyond that, only major difference was I really don't like to risk going after Grimgore so early, I usually march into Cathay and get as many vassals as I can before tackling him, so I can be alongside him in the war front down the line to make sure he isn't wiping factions out.

Please do Norsca. I’m not too bad at them now, but want to know if I’ve missed anything…

Is this BlakesTakes still applicable now that tamurkhan is in game?

[@BlakesTakes420]

@@faeezf unfortunately this video came out a little while before tamurkhan made his debut. Most of this video is fine but the first chapter needs a revision.
