00:30We're in the northern areas of Norska and we're defending as Empire against the Chaos Warriors.
00:34So this is a custom battle that we've played previously or I played it previously and we're kind of commentating
00:40over it in hindsight like we've done with the Vampire Siege.
00:43So we're playing at the Golden Monolith, it's just a really nice looking map.
00:47It's also available on the campaign map if you find it on the map you can just go fight there
00:51if you wish.
00:52So I thought I'd do this in custom battle.
00:54Well it's a good example of defending against the Chaos Warriors horde as they come down into your lovely lush
01:00green Empire territories and lay waste to everything.
01:04So it's a good example of what you can experience in the campaign and so yeah so let's take a
01:09look really quickly over at their armies.
01:12Also just to note everything you see in the Chaos Warrior army will be present for you to fight against
01:16whether you pre-order or not.
01:19Right so here we go this is the Chaos Chariot. They're armoured and they're anti-infantry. They're looking absolutely badass
01:26as well.
01:27Yeah pretty terrifying I've got to say look at their horns.
01:29Yeah so everything with Chaos is embroidered again with skulls and spikes and metal and just you know like really
01:36really evil looking kind of race.
01:39So over here we have the Chaos Knights again armoured and shielded. You've got flames coming off the hooves of
01:44their cavalry and their eyes as well.
01:46Even their shields have flames just coming off them constantly.
01:49I think their shields are amazing.
01:51Then we've got the Chaos Warhands which have scaly skin. They're very fast and they're weak to armour.
01:56So scaly skin is like a type of armour?
01:58Yeah so they're good against missiles essentially and they're super fast so they can actually just basically dodge them.
02:04Chaos Marauders which are your kind of basic infantry. Your kind of low tier basic infantry.
02:08They're shielded so they're decent in combat as well.
02:11But behind them we have the Chaos Warriors themselves which are the armoured and shielded.
02:15Which are also armoured and shielded.
02:17They're kind of just the upgrade to the Marauders. They're much more powerful.
02:20Much stronger in melee and much stronger in defence.
02:24Then over here we have the Chosen.
02:25Now these guys are...
02:27These guys it's getting pretty serious now when you get over these guys.
02:29They're looking pretty badass. They've got even more spikes on their shields.
02:32And that basically means that they're more armoured and they're more shielded.
02:34And they're very very powerful in melee combat.
02:37And they have their great weapons variant over here.
02:40Which means they ditch the shield and they just use two hands for their weapon here.
02:44And it's extremely powerful. Really good armour piercing damage on them as well.
02:47So those are the guys we want to watch out for the most in this battle.
02:50I think I'm watching out for this guy.
02:51That's true actually. So this is the Chaos Giant.
02:55Pretty much does what it says on the tin.
02:57The tin is massive and he's ripped to shreds with bones and stuff all through his skin and his face.
03:02I love the Hell Cannon though. That's what we've got here.
03:04Hell Cannon's really cool. It's got like bulging organic material on the back.
03:08And it's like this just insanely massive death machine that they can wheel around.
03:13You said it.
03:15Here we have the Chaos Trolls.
03:18Basically again do what they say on the tin.
03:19They can regenerate.
03:21They have poor leadership.
03:21So what happens a lot with these guys is they go into combat.
03:24They kind of do a lot of damage.
03:25Then they kind of back out.
03:26They regenerate and come back in.
03:29They can flee pretty quickly.
03:32Yeah.
03:32Speaking of I think they have fleas all over them.
03:34You can see them picking away at themselves.
03:37Then over here lastly we have the Chaos Warhounds.
03:40These are the poison variation.
03:42So you can notice they have a kind of greenish tint to them as well.
03:45Basically poison does speed damage and damages your overall strength as well.
03:52So when you get attacked by them you're not as powerful.
03:53So you want to watch out for them.
03:55Again just like a more powerful version of the other Warhounds.
03:58So the fade to black there just for people who are wondering.
04:00It's basically I had to enable a dev command to allow me to see beyond the fog of war to
04:04show you those units.
04:06Because I am playing as the Empire.
04:07And normally they're hidden in the Shroud.
04:09So I just re-enabled that.
04:11Went out and went back in.
04:12And here I am playing as the Empire.
04:14That's the Reichsguard unit there.
04:15You might have seen them in an introducing video.
04:17They're like really good shot cavalry.
04:19And then I just have some spears on the flanks.
04:21These are just spearmen.
04:22Pretty basic infantry unit.
04:25It's worth mentioning we've got Carl Franz fighting his battle.
04:29Which we'll get to in a second.
04:30Against Archeon the Everchosen.
04:31And a Celestial Wizard down here as well.
04:34Celestial Wizard that you might have noticed from Blackfire Pass and the Announce trailer that we did a long time
04:38ago.
04:38And Carl Franz riding Deathclaw up here.
04:42I always think Deathclaw is really cute from behind because you can see his little paws.
04:45He's not meant to be cute.
04:47No he's ferocious.
04:48He's got claws on the front.
04:49He is ferocious and very menacing.
04:51Yeah.
04:52So Carl Franz has got his emblem embroidered on him as well.
04:56And it's on his breastplate.
04:57So over to the army then.
04:59We've just got more sword infantry on the left.
05:01We've got great swords which will move over into the center.
05:04These are like the really high tier unit.
05:06You know they're called great for a reason.
05:08They're basically the best you can get.
05:10They're very very powerful high tier sword infantry.
05:12And I've put them in my front lines to really hold off the Chaos Warriors invasion of like you know
05:17the Chosen and the really high tier infantry that they're going to throw at me.
05:22Then we have the Halberdiers.
05:23That's right.
05:24Which is another Empire unit.
05:26Basically another high tier Empire unit that's really good against anti-large.
05:30So it's they're perfect for fighting the giant or the trolls or any kind of cavalry as well.
05:36So here we have the Hellblaster Volley Gun which essentially has like nine barrels on it.
05:41It's kind of far as like almost like a minigun.
05:43It's short range right?
05:44Very short range.
05:45And then we have the opposite to that which is the Hellstorm Rocket Battery which is like very long range
05:49but does a lot of splash damage.
05:51So one is very focused and short range.
05:53One is very long and splashy essentially.
05:56These are handgunners?
05:57Yep.
05:58These are the handgunners.
05:59Then I've got two of these at the back just kind of firing over the artillery as they get close.
06:03They're just in range of my front line as well so they can fire on any large monsters that are
06:07in the front lines as well to weaken them.
06:09It's one of my favourites here.
06:10It's the Luminarch of Heesh.
06:11Yeah it looks absolutely gorgeous as well.
06:13Got the little dude holding the scroll and his candle and the other guy holding the ball.
06:18Yes you need someone to hold a candle at the front.
06:20Yeah well you know.
06:22Well actually they have candles on the horses as well.
06:24I was going to say you can't just let anybody take them.
06:25It's very important.
06:26Yeah.
06:28So we've got more spearmen then on the flanks so I've just kind of gone for a nice balanced build
06:31here.
06:32We've got a Pegasus with a Light Wizard on top.
06:38So we'll get to some of his spells throughout the battle but we've never seen a Light Wizard before I
06:42don't think.
06:43And they're very very powerful.
06:44They're kind of more used for like buffing and using hexes more than direct damage spells but we'll get to
06:49that.
06:50And then my favourite unit which is the Demogryph Knights out in the woods.
06:53They're actually hidden over here.
06:55They're a very heavy shot cavalry.
06:57Very good.
06:57Probably the best shot cavalry you can get but they're very slow.
07:00And they look absolutely brilliant with their shields that are actually like Demogryph shields and stuff.
07:04It looks really really nice.
07:05So do you have a strategy here with this or are you just kind of going to play reactionary and
07:09see what is going to come at you?
07:11So I did play reactionary basically and we'll see that they throw some things my way that you just cannot
07:18plan for.
07:18But what I'm doing here is keeping my artillery back.
07:21I am downhill which is a problem but even if I deploy at the front I'm still going to be
07:25fighting downhill and I can't move my artillery anywhere really.
07:27And I didn't want to just bunch up completely on the left side.
07:30You know I wanted to go for like a nice aesthetically pleasing battle as well.
07:33So just for those of you who are going to say like you should have been on the left or
07:36up the hills.
07:37I thought about it but I thought I could do better from down here.
07:42So Joey mentioned it earlier but it's worth mentioning just one more time.
07:45So every unit that you see that we're playing against or with is in the base game.
07:49Whether you own any DLC or not this is what your game will be like when you're playing against the
07:53Chaos Warriors.
07:55However if you do pre-order or you get the DLC after release you will get access to play as
08:00Chaos Warriors
08:01and get some extra additional units and some Legendary Lords.
08:05That is correct and we're kind of kick-starting the combat here with well a lot of artillery fire.
08:11Yeah so the rocket battery is firing away and they're firing their Hell Cannons at me
08:16as they move up their chariots and their giant and keeping their army kind of together as they move around
08:21the monolith.
08:22Yeah but the giant's in no rush look at him.
08:24No he's just casually walking along.
08:27I think he just got smacked by one of the volleys.
08:30So it looks fantastic.
08:33The flame trails coming out of the Chaos Knights.
08:35I love that.
08:36The sounds are amazing as well.
08:37The sounds of the Hell Cannon screaming as it goes by.
08:41I believe it's like souls or something trapped in each blast.
08:45Turning souls into crackling bolts of energy.
08:48Yeah so you can kind of hear them whistling and screaming as they go by.
08:51So very nice is it.
08:52Speaking of not very nice.
08:53This wasn't very nice.
08:54Arcaen has casted a burning head.
08:57And a flamestorm.
08:59And a flamestorm almost one after the other straight away which is absolutely tearing up my front line.
09:04So I guess he didn't like me tearing up his front line with my artillery so he just went and
09:08did the same to me.
09:09But he did a lot of damage.
09:11One of my best units, the halbergeers, has lost almost 50 guys I think.
09:15So that's quite a significant problem.
09:17So what are you casting there?
09:18So I'm casting the Net of Aminthok.
09:20Which is a 10 second hex that stops everybody in their tracks.
09:24Nobody in that zone can move.
09:26So that allowed me to give myself time to fire on the giant.
09:30And that's the reason I did it there.
09:31Basically to slow them down so there's some units hit my front line.
09:34They don't all hit it at once.
09:35And allows me to get more shots in before they do.
09:39But you can see they very quickly, the Chaos Knights like over on the left of it, engage my cavalry.
09:43They haven't spotted my demigryphs.
09:44So my plan is to send my demigryphs out and around behind their artillery now and take out their artillery.
09:49Every shot they fire with their artillery is damaging my leadership.
09:52Which is, you know, what morale used to be in the older games.
09:55So I don't want my guys to break and run away.
09:59You can see some of the guys are starting to run actually at the front.
10:01Because of the giant that causes terror and the trolls that are encroaching, that causes terror as well.
10:05So I brought Carl Franz up to use Stand Your Ground.
10:08Which basically just gives you an instant area of effect leadership buff.
10:12And also enhances defense and melee attacks.
10:15It's very, very strong.
10:16And you can use it over and over and over again after like a cooldown period.
10:20It doesn't affect the winds of magic.
10:26Oh, you've got the Comet of Cassandora coming down.
10:28So they were quite bunched up.
10:30I think they have a Metal Sorcerer in there.
10:33I mean, they were doing something.
10:34I'm not too sure what it was actually.
10:36But you can see the VFX.
10:37But they all bunched up when they cast that ability.
10:40Obviously to get the area of effect.
10:42But it was an opportune time for my Celestial Wizard to fire.
10:45Now their giant is actually broke and started to run away.
10:47But he could reform.
10:48So I got my Illuminar to fire on him.
10:52And it was a perfect, perfect hit.
10:54I think it actually brought him down to like one HP or something.
10:57And then one bullet knocked him down from one of my gunners.
11:00So that was really, really good.
11:01That was nice.
11:02So you only seem to have one, maybe two units routing.
11:05I think one's come back to you now.
11:06Yeah, so they're just routing.
11:08Hopefully, like these units that have like 40 in them that are running away.
11:11They should come back if they just get clear of the engagement for a while.
11:14So it's going okay.
11:16You know, it's going all right.
11:16We're holding our line here.
11:17Our spells have kicked off right.
11:20So I don't know how you've done.
11:21I'm quite intrigued to see what the result of this puzzle is.
11:24Well, I don't want to spoil it.
11:26So we'll just have to wait and see.
11:28Well, so far you're doing pretty well.
11:29Doing okay.
11:30I wouldn't, yeah.
11:31It's been, it's quite tough.
11:32You know, I'm losing in some areas, winning in some others.
11:34Everybody's engaged somewhere.
11:36And the guys that are breaking, I'm trying to like reform them as quick as I can and bring
11:40them back in.
11:41My demigriffs now have just engaged their artillery.
11:43So hopefully their artillery will now be offline.
11:46You can see them out there.
11:47Yeah, one of them's actually gone.
11:48The other one's just about to go as well.
11:50Excellent.
11:50So you've used your demigriffs just to wipe them out.
11:53Oh, chariots in the rear.
11:56Yeah, that was a massive charge.
11:58So chariots have like insanely good, you know, like charge bonuses that just throw your units
12:04around.
12:04But there's only four on a unit.
12:05So, oh, here I was actually really worried that Arcane was chasing down my Celestial Wizard.
12:09He looks very afraid.
12:10Yeah, he's going straight for him.
12:11And he actually kicks him to the ground as well.
12:13So, he's in a spot of trouble, I would say.
12:17So I'm getting my gunners to fire on Arcane as much as I can.
12:20Their knights seem to have gotten the better of me over there as well.
12:23They're kind of now pushing into the center from behind, which is really, really dangerous.
12:28That is a bold move from Arcane, just to come directly in.
12:31So, it is.
12:33But he's much better than a wizard, you know, in combat.
12:35He's got a massive flame sword.
12:36So, I was trying to quickly activate his Chain Lightning Vortex spell before he died because
12:42I have a lot of Winds of Magic and that's a very powerful spell.
12:44And I just managed to get it off before he kind of routed.
12:51So, usually when you're in combat, it's very difficult to enable spells.
12:54That's why I had to click it a few times.
12:56And it did a good amount of damage, but then it kind of, you know, spooled off into the
12:59distance and didn't really hit anybody.
13:01So, I brought my Celestial Wizard in and tried to activate his one, which is Banishments,
13:06which is just another Vortex.
13:08Same thing kind of happened.
13:09You can see it in the distance there.
13:10It soaked up some units.
13:12It kind of pulls them up towards it, like the, similar to the Purple Sun.
13:16Well, the Vortex spells are very good against multiple units, especially in that kind of
13:20setup that you had there where there's many units all piled in.
13:23Yeah.
13:24So, I'm getting a bit worried at this point, you know.
13:27A lot of areas are starting to break, but they're still kind of bunching up.
13:30So, I activated those two Vortexes really as a last-ditch effort to kind of annihilate that
13:35section.
13:35But they didn't quite go as well as they could have.
13:37They kind of, as opposed to the Flamestorm, which ran through my front line, my one kind
13:41of hit them initially and then moved off into nothing.
13:44And I have so many units that are just running away now, and I'm trying to see who's available
13:48and bring them all back in.
13:50It's really, really not looking good at this point.
13:52You have six, seven routing units?
13:54Oh, no.
13:54Yeah.
13:55And some of them, I've lost some units.
13:56So, some are completely dead, never coming back.
14:00And it's hard to micro, like, trying to zoom in and show the combat as well as micro.
14:04My Demi Griffiths are out in the distance, not even doing anything.
14:06So, I'm bringing them into the fight as quick as I can.
14:09Getting my Celestial Wizard, who has gotten away.
14:11I'm trying to kill Archeon.
14:12So, I'm casting a Wind Blast on him, but I actually kind of miss.
14:14And I hit the Yungs behind him.
14:17Well, he's dead now.
14:18Yeah, so he's been chased again.
14:19I mean, Archeon has a serious, like, problem with my Celestial Wizard.
14:23He's going to take him down.
14:24So, I'm trying to focus everything on him.
14:25I'm turning my Luminarch, actually, to face him as well.
14:27If I could get a good shot off an Archeon, it might actually turn the tide as well.
14:31So, your Demi Griffiths are kind of coming in there, which is good.
14:33They're downhill.
14:34Yeah, they're kind of going downhill, hitting the Marauders as well.
14:37Karl Franz is, I'm trying to pull him out of the combat now because he's kind of surrounded.
14:41Pulling all my Sword Infantry and Spirit Infantry back into the center as much as I can.
14:47But it's not looking good.
14:48I mean, at this point, it's really like, I don't see a way I can win.
14:51There I know!
14:52I've been quite outmatched.
14:55Now, full disclosure, I played this a couple times.
14:57And I came very close to winning one time.
15:02So, it is possible.
15:04But this time, I think magic just didn't go my way.
15:06And I didn't micro very well.
15:08As I tried to zoom in on things too much, I think.
15:11But it is winnable.
15:13So, yeah.
15:14Just not for you.
15:14Yeah, maybe not by me.
15:16But it takes practice.
15:17It was a difficult fight.
15:19It's not over yet.
15:20So, we're still like...
15:21I'm still...
15:23I've had a comeback from this kind of thing before.
15:25But I have spent all my magic.
15:26Usually, at this kind of point in the battle, if you've got enough magic, you can still maybe turn the
15:30tide if they bunch up.
15:31Or if you kill their legendary lord.
15:35So, here I was like, okay, I'm going to go into first person mode and just fire directly on these
15:38guys.
15:39Turned out they weren't manning their guns anymore because they were engaged in combat.
15:42But here I am firing straight on them in first person mode.
15:45You can do this by pressing insert.
15:47Problem was, I was actually kind of hitting my own light wizard.
15:51You can't hit your own light wizard!
15:52I hope I didn't, but I think I did.
15:54And he's actually routing now as well.
15:57So, there I am again, activating just the leadership buffs to try and call these guys back into the fight.
16:02It's like, come on guys, Carl Franz himself is flying above you, demanding that you come return to the fight.
16:07But these guys are terrified of the Chaos Warriors.
16:09You can hear them early on, hopefully.
16:11They literally say it in the deployment, you know, like, we can't win this.
16:14The Chaos are too powerful.
16:17Which is really, really cool.
16:20That's a lot of units lost.
16:22And a lot of routing units as well.
16:24Your artillery is now completely offline.
16:27And no one is manning it.
16:29My Luminarch was wavering.
16:30It just came back.
16:31And they're getting crushed by another charge.
16:35This is brutal!
16:36It is.
16:37And this is what Chaos Warriors are.
16:39You know, you're going to play the game and have to deal with numerous invasions.
16:44To be honest, they kind of had higher tier units than I did.
16:46They had their, you know, their chosen.
16:48They had four units of chosen.
16:49I only had two units of greatswords, so I couldn't hold my line as well.
16:54But I had more units overall, so.
16:57And more magic wielding units.
17:00Unfortunately, it just didn't go right.
17:02So this is a last ditch attempt to try and kill Archeon.
17:05I fired a magic missile at him and just missed.
17:08His health was actually, like, quite considerably low.
17:10That might have actually done something.
17:12It caused some of them to rout, but it wasn't good enough.
17:17And now he's completely enveloped, so.
17:19I think we'll just have a little listen and look at the combat for a second here when I zoom
17:23in.
17:24Oh yeah, and I was trying to get the Luminarch again just to fire an Archeon.
17:27I was doing everything I could.
17:28Just to, if we could maybe kill him, just maybe.
17:30It might do something.
17:35Where he is being kicked around.
17:36He's activating spells as well to kind of buff his troops.
17:39Oh, the Light Wizard is coming in to help there.
17:41The Luminarch just missed.
17:44Yeah, everyone's coming in.
17:45He actually just activated the Flaming Sword of Rune, which gave all his units 22% weapon damage.
17:51Oof.
17:51For 13 seconds.
17:53So that's why all the VFX are popping off now.
17:54You can see everyone's just, like, fighting it out.
17:57But Kofrans, you know, he's lost.
17:59He's not coming back from this.
18:04But he's not going down without a fight.
18:06He is, like, pushing everyone around.
18:08And that's it.
18:09So he broke.
18:10He ran away.
18:11And Kofrans is hopefully going to get away and retreat back to Altdorf maybe and defend against another Chaos Horde
18:18if he can muster his troops.
