- Total War Warhammer II is such a good game it revived a dead setting and got me to purchase a Warhammer miniature, which I do not recommend if you value your money. Just play this game instead, it only costs 1000000000 dollars for all the content which is a bargain in Warhammer terms.

"Paradoxal amount of DLC's". I see what you did there!
Wait for the brettonian dlc thats lets you marry your vassalized pope horse councilor.
Paradox>CA when it comes to dlc amount
Yes but unlike paradox the dlcs are actually decent. Except for that stupid fucking blood dlc
@Dana Pierce Oh... oh, no... if the user is a Portuguese speaker, then I got the pun that is being made with the word here...
@@d0pep3nguin27 CA has better dlc for how much it costs.
"it makes me feel old, which is probably what the tomb skeletons think about the rest of the world" 😂
You forgot the "and I hate it"
necrons
What about summoning lord admiral spire into this game? What will happen then. Crossing fantasy and the wh40k. The warp links them at least.
“An entire army of scooby doo villains” why does this make so much sense?
Nearly shat myself at that no lie

3:54 "On the other hand, Norsca is basically Chaos but good."
Hah, that's funny. But in all seriousness, for those that don't know: Norsca also kinda suck, but for different reasons than Chaos.
@@deadlyydude5522 i was thinking the same thing and honestly chaos is probably better off than norsca only because i feel their artillery and infantry is better but that may just be bias talking
Ooh ooh aah aah walls bad
Well thats fighting over last place, so....
Norsca is the one bastion of freedom standing strong against the imperialist ambitions of the Ordertide. Only the true sons of the North know that leading Norsca to it's rightful place as the leader of the free world is the real purpose of the game! ;) Seriously, playing Norsca felt like my first game as the Empire in Warhammer 1, everybody wants a piece of your territory!
Norsca’s campaign is actually pretty decent on lower difficulties but they are very poorly scaled for the higher difficulties.
I mean you mock the high elves but give credit to Imirk, the only cool High Elf because he said “the donut is gay, I’m out” and went to go wrestle dragons instead which is just a way fucking cooler thing to do.
On the downside, he's the most pompous of them all. He probably left the donut because he thought he was that much better than everybody else. Which is kinda true, to be fair.
@@Grivehn It's what we call an EARNED ego. Yeah he is full of hot shit but he actually has things to back it up.
Eltharion the Grim and Alith Anar are both great
If the donut so gay why the dark elves want it so bad
@@johnfrancis89 Dark Elves: the embodiment of heterosexuality
As a chaos player, I was a little sad at the small amount of love shown to Chaos.
Then Khorne showed up in Total War 3 and I realized they were just saving the best till last.
Not just khorne but all 4 chaos faction that is including slaneesh
Yea game 3 is gonna be the chaos merry go round from hell literally
Half the map is about chaos for game 3. I love chaos for some reason.
"Saving best till last"
No, they're just a terrible company that makes horrible games.
And my god, is chaos so much fun to play
"Once you pay 60 bucks for 10 figures of Witch Elves, spending another ten on dozen of new units suddenly doesn't feel so bad." xD
Warhammer fan live in a nutshell.
I actually enjoy Bretonnia conceptually as it's effectively zealous crusader knights in a completely bizarre grimdark fantasy realm. I also like the Empire as just random dudes fighting against the massive tides of chaos & vampires. Think it adds flavor to have sort of blander human factions to contrast the world around them.
The Empire is also a Democracy in a Midieval Setting, which is very rare.
@@stephensmith7327 the empire is not a democracy. It is an electoral monarchy where the Emperor is elected from the elector counts (pretty much exactly how the Holy Roman Empire worked, which of course the Empire takes lots and lots and lots of influence from.)
@@jack6126 well, it's as close to a democracy as one could get in a Midieval Setting
Monty Python Rohirrim
@@stephensmith7327 Asur are closer. The Phoenix King is chosen by a massive council of representatives from all across Ulthuan, consisting of high princes, mages, scholars, and other high-ranking individuals. A number of them are even lowborn.
Bonus points for Alith Anar for his main enemy being dark elves so at least you have something fun to fight. Also deleting enemy lords from across the map's fun.
its fun for a bit until youve killed malekith for the millionth time cause dark elves op and always control half the map by the time you meet them if you start in the old world
Alith Anar is a railgun in disguise
"I have a problem." - the biggest understatement ever spoken from Oboe.
The empire is actually the brief window in the german HRE when pike and shot was coming in and the old sorta jank medievil warfare was dying, bretonia represents france during the medevil era.
@Matt Washer With their French accents, names, character modelled after Joan of Arc, and the faction being named after Brittany?
@@ChaoticCubizm To be fair medieval England was pretty much 1:1 medieval France just with more Welsh people
@Matt Washer but the accent?
@Matt Washer High Elves represents more England as a whole than Bretonia, while yes, Bretonia is a mix between England and France while the king of England was also a vassal of the king of France, with french speaking nobles ruling over bad-speaking lowlife filthy peasants :p
@@apalmemnom the king of England has never really been a vassal for France. We had Norman Kings but they were not vassals. In fact England owned a good potion of France at various points through the medival era.
"Are you seeing a pattern in which factions I prefer?"
You are a man after my own heart. Just from the sheer number of guns alone, I have to say that Vampire Coast is probably my preferred faction.
Ahh yes a look into our lord oboes tabletop gaming addiction
The Scooby-Do Villain moment actually made me die and resurrect as a Scooby-Do Villain
2:39 Welcome to Estalia Gentlemen
I will not lie, the chances of your survival are small
Some may even tur against your friends as living corpses
“Any discussion of warhammer 2 races has gotta start with the empire… which is why I’m starting with the dwarfs” classic. Made me laugh.
“The only thing that would make them more fun is if they had nuclear bombs. Annnddd they do!” Epic lol
ngl, not into this type of game at all, but at 5:40 i was absolutely sold. the pirate ship gattling cannon mecha looks amazing
Just wait until Grand Cathay gets released. ( Warhammer equivalent to ancient china)
@@dallascimini3619 And Kislev. So many bears
@@DogKacique Who will win? Kislev ( offensive based human faction) or Grand Cathay ( probably defensive based human faction)?
Then you'll probably be happy to learn that it's far and away the vcoast's best unit to the point where fielding an entire army of them is a super viable campaign strategy
@@dallascimini3619 kislev should be defensive shouldnt they? their whole thing is about being the unbreaking wall between the empire and chaos isnt it?
the "WH2 has more LL than I have years to live" hit hard
Dipping your toe back into wh2 i see. Good stuff.
Those transitions from one race to another were great
Truly each was a masterpiece.
The Empire got renaissance vibe actually, which makes Bretonnia's medieval dirt farmer vibe even funnier
Fun fact: the only factions you need to know about are lizardmen and lizardmen food
Wood Elves are underrated, considering they have the best archer unit in the game, incredibly strong infantry (Wildwood Ranger and the Wardancers, specially) and insane monsters. :)
Also they can essentially field an entire airforce of birb jets with magical cruise missiles
They used to be complete trash, now they're... decent to play. The scatter settlement idea is lorefriendly, but it's also kinda tricky to keep all the areas protected with the meager income.
all tree armies FTW
@@Olav_Hansen Wood Elves' roster has always been one of the best in the game. Their campaign used to be one of the worst, but now it's very unique and super fun if you like building tall (not a lot of that going on in WHTW). Keeping their distant strongholds secure with limited funds is kind of what makes them fun in the first place; way more fun than just painting the map one color IMO.
Except sisters of averlorne are better… so they have the second best archers.
The flow of this man's script is apocalyptic 10/10 best CZcamsr on the Tube
I love your faction guides!
Can't wait for Total War Warhammer 3: Bears and Ice edition
I think You will love Kislevits, black powder range units, bear artillery, bear cavalierly and cool magic
Bear powder, bear units, beat artillery, bear cavalierly, bear magic, bear monster, bear bear
Probably the funniest yet very informative review I’ve watched, love your style!
First video ive watched and when the elves were shown burning and being torn to pieces i cracked an evil smile unlike ever before
I completed a Chaos Campaign..., I was 21 now I'm limitless.. Such is what the Chaos Wastes does to us mere mortals
5:06 honestly a very accurate point to the vampire counts
Your transitions to the factions are amazingly smooth!
OMG I feel like your "Massive crabs that can attack weak points for massive damage" Joke is SOOOOO underrated.
I was surprised he went this whole video without a bionicle joke
This video is so incredible in so many ways. Subscribed
That super short clip of Thorgrim commencing battle in Ulthuan at the end brings a smile to my face.
Man your narration is next level. Got a good laugh out of me. Subscribed!
This vid got my subscription! Great work dude!!
This has got to be my favorite video on the main channel and my only experience with Warhammer is Vermintide
You forgot about the biggest meme of the vampire counts. Free skeleton upkeep. Just wander the map with about 10 armies each lead by a legendary lord and made of nothing but heroes and skeletons.
This was awesome I love your wit!!
Bretonnia and the Empire having the 'same medieval vibe?' Bretonnia is based upon the early medieval period (10th-11th century) while the empire is not even medieval anymore, but proper renaissance (15th-16th century). There is about as much time between those two periods as there is between the Renaissance and the now.
Not necessarily. I wouldn’t say the empire is “proper renaissance”, more like early renaissance as they still use more high medievalish units. I also wouldn’t necessarily put Bretonnia THAT early, they’re more like high medieval tbh.
@@jack6126 The Brettonians are literally based on the Normans and Arthurian legend.
@@jack6126 I mean that perfectly fits early Renaissance.
This video is way too hilarious and informative. Thank you so much, I'm a straight up noob. Helped a ton and made me laugh.
Great vid, more warhammer content pls
Brother had me laughing thru out the whole vid without cappin. Best Review Vid ever looking forward for more !
Skaven being furry is god trying to balance them because they were too awesome.
All of these races are lucky the bloons tower defense don't exist in the same universe as them. Why you may ask? Cyber Quincy would wipe them all out because nothing gets past his bow.
Skaven will still manage to get him killed. Not even plot armor can save Quincy from those greedy paws.
Except when Alith Anar shoots him first
They’re called the High Elves because you have to be high to play them
Or you get high off of turning everything to charcoal with a swarm of dragons
the Empire doesn't have a medieval vibe, it's much closer to Renaissance-era Holy Roman Empire, down to the election of the Emperor and funky hats
10:31 I watched this video so many times. I think this is the first time I've heard oboe Curse.
Damm its true. TWW2 has more LL than I have years of my live left. Truly a grave epiphany
Ok boomer
@@tatsumitakeshina2993 you know with 27 years I would not call myself this. However it is statisticaly unlikley that I grow old enough to outlive the current amount of LL of TWW.
Yes I have been past my quarter life crises

Love how you played ETW music when talking about the Empire 👌
I like to think I’m a good guy.. *never once played a human high elf or lizard men campaign*.. well like.. I’m not a bad guy.. *goes hard on beast men, skaven, vampire coast, and dark elves*
First video from your channel I've seen an I love your sarcastic humor
+1 Sub!
Great video! And i recognize music at the end! Market of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time :D
Playing SFO grimmhammer mod actually adds a lot of flavour to empire, think lots of full plate armoured units. Combined with CBE smoke mod thingy, gunpowder go brrrr. Also dawi, just dawi. Cannons, organ guns, flamethrowers, torpedoes, blasting charges, helicopter bombers and an unbreakable shield wall of beard people. What more can a man ask for.
A group of halfnaked tight elves with whips?
@@Olav_Hansen
Hot
Dragons
My Warcry warband is a group of musket men because it's a hilarious premise. Chaos cultists that replace their limbs with metal spikes versus guys with muskets getting paid pennies a day.
Having a rubbish week and this made me chuckle, got a sub from me!
Youre an "incredible discovery by algorithm" on the level of Kilian Experience. I turned into a subscriber, Morty!
Glad to see someone who loves the Dark Elves as much as me 👌
Another person with excellent taste
That og scooby doo music really hit home
Your videos invigorate my soul.
I love your humour and this video . And my god, buying all those paints Is costly
Just found your channel hell yeah my amigo
You mentioned High Elves but didnt say a word about Imrik?
Like, why use dwarven toy-flamethrowers when you can deploy army of fire mages riding on fire dragons. (with 50% discount if you call right now)
Smell of napalm 24/7, scorched earth all around you. Age of Fire all over again!
Is there any other way to play High Elves?
This is a great video!
You have to sides to the lasghanja
OMG that lightning bolt reference had me in tears!
Sub’dddd
I appreciate the Dark Shadows reference
lol just about spit out my cereal at 'I should play medieval II again--taht sums up my thoughts on bretonia'
Take over citys and makes them install mario cart 8 xD
This video is full of amazing 1 liners. Thank you
Gotta love the stealth Astros diss 😂😂
you break the mold.. i like it.
total war hasnt been about strategy since shogun 2 but i hear u oboe
Funny thing about Empire, if you get lucky in your run and have the Warhammer version of Italy and Venice still alive, you can be secure on the southern boarders until the mass spawning of Chaos horde burns them down to the ground, thus making your expansion south almost as mandatory as keeping the north intact.
But you can still burn the Wood Elves if they piss you off long enough with little problem to your diplomatic influence.
The edit at 7:09 got you a insta sub and like. That fucking killed me from laughter.
Love your sense of humour
I would love to see the minis you paint!
finally someone who shares my hatredd for the empire
i was born in the mid-90's, i've been sitting in front of a computer most of my life and youtube has been a cool lil companion to me ever since it started - with that in mind, i can't believe this is the first time i ever see someone refer to ratboygenius in a video. that is the grandest thing i've seen all day. godspeed lil king john
Funny and informative, nice video
7:06 so, I am not the only person in the world who remembers about Ratboy Genius
flashbanged by the reference
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOW YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT WHOOOOOO
First Borderlands now Warhammer Fantasy Battles!? Oboe covering all my favorite franchises.
Taurox moo moo stomp map.
No seriously, the new animations of rolling moo moos of all sizes is hilariously broken when your moombas get 100+ melee attack just by hearding up.
nice video code oboe
Warhammer ha i hardly know her!
Oboe forgot about GELT
I'd loved to see an oboeshoes army reveal
'Donut Island'
That cracks me up 👌
Funny and informative video!
8:28
I started laughing when I first heard a gawblins in the sky and screaming as he came towards me.
Dark elves are fun but have you tried kroq gar with his carno mount leading a full army of dinosaurs with a second army full of salamanders following
You should do one for all the races in total war warhammer 3 as well. This is my fav video to show anyone who wants to get into warhammer
What's really great about vampire counts is that the skeletons march at the same beat as the spooky scary skeletons remix
I just realised the Rats mod for Minecraft was featured in this video for about 1 second. Cool!
how did you not mention balthazar gelt with the empire, honestly hes just as much of a artillery battery as a hellstorm
that "years left in my life" comment hit hard
your commentary is pure comedy gold
