Ah yes, nature's greatest ambush predator: the cow

[@philipslice6273]

That's why farmers put those bells around the cows necks, otherwise they'd sneak up on everyone

[@Bloodlyshiva]

@@philipslice6273 It;s true though. They're quieter than you'd think.

[@KTdaDon2]

I read this in David Attenborough's voice for some reason

[@pBeerenBild]

More people die from cow attacks every year than from shark attacks. You don‘t fuck with mobile milk.

One of my favourite comments this year

[@florians9949]

“I got Johnson hidding in the trees” Johnson: *screams as loudly as posible*

[@Jacob-er1tt]

change this to Johnson please

[@ZeroFormLak]

Aye as long as he hides his body they will think he is just a giant screaming tree

A force generates an equal force in the other direction. The Minotaur simply hit so hard, it couldnt handle its own power.

I saw that too haha

[@chopstickSH]

i missed that hahah :-D

[@JaySwag77]

I love how you were like "what would make this campaign better? Ah yes, let me take the dwarf's slayer oath and seek death in glorious battle."

[@Prophet-of-the-Unknown-Lord]

This should seriosuly be canon. A rampaging beastmen carnage climaxing in a final showdown with Skarbrand to decide who is Khorne's favorie, blood-red sky and head-to-head duel with him and multiple bloodthirsters included. Absolutely glorious!

[@WeaponizedStrumpet]

Well, at least it would be better than the Endtimes.

[@Achillez098]

"CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ME WITH A DECENT CHALLENGE?!" -Taurox, the Lu Bu of Warhammer

[@thijsv948]

Imagine getting revived afterwards cause Khorne liked the way you've been fighting 😂

[@Prophet-of-the-Unknown-Lord]

That would actually be a cool mechanic!

[@metalmaster6667]

I mean, Taurus got his brass skin from Khorne.

[@spilleren9173]

That's actually canon, I think. Taurox fought everyone, everywhere, all the time, until he fought so hard he got a heart attack. Then, since Khorne liked his guts, he got revived with a metal body, so that he's immune to heart attacks.

[@metalmaster6667]

⁠@@spilleren9173Almost correct: he fought everyone because he bit off the head of a chaos-ambassador and got mad. Or more mad than before.

[@OMNISSIAH-VERY-GREAT]

The Cygor and Ghorgon are mutated minotaurs. You can use them.

[@elite_rock_god2292]

Aaaah Gotrek, the worst slayer of all time and the greatest warrior of a age❤😂

[@sassyviking6003]

Knowing the lore of taurox, being ultimately defeated by skarbrand is such a poetic and fitting end. The only way to slay one of the blood god's greatest champions is with another of the blood god's greatest champions.

[@Marbo12f]

Taurox looks up at Skarbrand and host of Bloodthristers, his face of perpetual rage giving way to grin. "You defeated me, Champion of the Blood God...with help".

[@zodbones]

Taurox is such a monster of a character. I remember one fight against elves that should've been a defeat. Lost everyone, but Taurox against a full stack and somehow he won by himself.

[@stevengull6703]

Oh yeah Taurox doesn't need an army after level 10-20. Once he hits that strength the army is just there because why not.

[@neildeeley4177]

So just unbalanced nonsense then

[@tazbom2470]

@@neildeeley4177 Who cares about balance in singleplayer game lol

[@tomxipe]

me ok !!!! i care !! ok ??????? shut up !!@@tazbom2470

[@BaxstabberzZ]

​@neildeeley4177 Taurox in the lore could 100% do this. Game is as much about the lore as it is about balance.

[@TraneGraffMaster]

Now imagine this if you get Sword of Khaine. When Taurox was released in Totalwarhammer 2 you could’ve get it in like 6 to 10 turns. Managed to do this and went for a world domination campaign

[@morte2504]

Zerk literally took a Slayer Oath out of boredom

[@manuelramospetruchena4620]

That was fantastic. Beautiful. A beefy campaign with a heroic end. Alas.. I have to highlight two things. 1. You were lucky messing up with Nurgle. Imagine what mad cow disease could have done to your army. The gods were on your side. 2. You missed a HUGE opportunity. Michael Johnson? Juan? Uncle Bernard? THEY WERE ALL MEANT TO BE COWBOYS!! Had they been Buffalo Bill, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, this would've been perfect. Weirdest cow level from Diablo 2, but for sure fun. Cheers Zerk!

[@boricns]

i've never play beast man cuz you know... "BRING ME TO MY MEN" but might have to try them now after this :D

[@Contractkillamax]

After their rework, they are one of the best factions, in my opinion. No diplomacy or economy. Just heardstones and blood.. and cows xD

[@bobleponge9192]

Why do people love the empire this much ? I don't get it.

This is now my headcannon for when Skarbrand gets one of those random events where he can either duel the doom bull or kill his minotaurs

I have tears rolling down my face at his bits over the names

[@TubeTAG]

13:38 So your Minotaurs have become Slayers. Nice.

[@BertShackleford]

This was thoroughly entertaining! Thought I was just going to skip around such a lengthy video as per usual. Instead, I found myself watching the entire saga. Well done Zerk. Stay classy my friend.

[@williammitchell6254]

"Lengthy video" "saga" bro its not even half an hour long.

[@BertShackleford]

@@williammitchell6254 You must be a blast at parties _IF_ you even get invited. Stay classy my friend.

4:25 I always love the way you bring real life tactics into your campaigns.

[@JJS563]

"The sisters of stupid fucking elves or whatever they are called" I spat coffee out

[@TheMightyNaryar]

Full Minobus is the only proper way to play Taurox. Or well, it's always very strong as any beastmen faction(though for the other LL's you might just get a doombull instead for your full cow stack instead), but the other lords have other shenanigans that might make your endgame different (Morghur for the monster/spawn doomstacks or lord only doomstack, Khazrak for the full vanguard infantry/chariot ambush strike force, etc.), but more importantly it is fun. I never get tired of minotaurs rolling through infantry blobs.

[@monochromaticspider]

Khazrak is usually always a wargor spam stack for me. Having a whole bunch of single entity chariots is so much fun. Not really optimal for dueling single entities, but infantry just melts and it's not like cavalry has the stats to really deal with that many single entities either.

[@draketurtle4169]

That intro clip is perfection, at first you think he got launched into them, then it’s hmm He is charging into them but no he just decided to leap into the enemy and do a roll because he can.

[@holdencross5904]

Love your content bud. Can you do a full cav army as the lizards?

[@rabast]

Stack of dread saurus 😩🥵

[@Supercohboy]

I'd love to see a Lizardmen Missile Monsters only campaign, personally. It would be very vulnerable but very powerful, especially if he allowed heroes/lords on mounts. I just want to watch someone more capable use the skirmisher missile lizards so I can learn from their ways tbh, the firespitters and armor-piercing spike throwers are cool but they feel like they fall off hard in the long game.

[@Reptonious]

Been a long time since I've seen anything from the channel, this is an awesome evolution for you Zerkovich

The MAW DEMANDS AN OGRE PLAYTHROUGH MY LORD

[@Helycon]

One of skarbrands factions strongest doomstacks/armies you could make at all is their minotaur equivalent x18 with an exalted bloodletter and any lord so this is no surprise but still awesome

[@thiccestboi5114]

I played this army gimmick in TWW2 and single-handedly destroyed the entire Dark Elf Faction, the entirety of Ulthwe, and half of Bretonnia with no issues at all. It's INSANELY strong. Taurox with minotaurs is underappreciated and, I'll be honest, overpowered.

[@majestatycznyimbryczek8749]

"the sisters of... stupid fucking elves or whatever their called..." - Zerkovich That's indeed what they are called, sir.

[@brandor763]

Want more minotaurs for the Beastmen??? Highly recommend the "Banegors and Bloodkines" and "Chaosbulls" mods. Theyre awesome!!! If you play Khorne, i reccomend "Exalted Minotaurs of Khorne" and "Khorgoth the Unleashed".

[@samuelevans738]

F Edit: could you do a campaign where you try to get all the unique herdstones? If I recall correctly, the oak of ages, lothern, and Riekland (or maybe Middenland) all have unique herdstone buildings. Can you take a look at it?

Amazing video!! So much fun!
