With this, Warhammer videos are going away for a while. They'll return again in the future.
Now this intro is sick
0:35 is that Metal Fatigue?
Edit: that IS Metal Fatigue! Yes!
What about some Apeiron's games like Marauder Man of Prey or 762HC? They're blast despite jankiness.
Making separate reviews for each game would be less ideal.
Play 219 first.

"If you krump the big ork, you get all his stuff. That's how things should work."

"Encouraging non-consensual property alterations"
A poet, truly
enkouragin' non-konsensual prop'rty alteracionz
Reminds me of sseth's "non-consensual organ arbitrage".
sort of sums up Games Workshop's approach to other people's intellectual property, so doubly apt.
@@R3GARnator 'Bout to say that. Further proof that they are the same person.
"non-consensual organ-arbitration"
I heard the new Cooking Mama was controversial but I never expected this

Wait until we get them Ogre boyz around.
The dungeon meshi crossover we never knew we needed.
@@DerOrk Not clicking on a reddit link. Get out of here
I realized about a week ago that:
-the goblins in WH Fantasy basically *are* "lady orcs" (as much as these sexless fighting fungi can imitate sexual dimorphism)
-The Crooked Moon is the Greenskin version of the Amazons
This image is basically about what I figured lady-goblin Skarsnik would look like after getting a moe makeover.
"The old nonsensical tech tree has been thrown into the trash with the beastmen" ouch
Ouch... but fair. Beastmen unlikely to get reworked until the 3rd game unfortunately in my opinion.
@@chriswhinery925 They said they wanted every game 1 factions brought up to game 2 level before game 3. Pretty sure that Wood Elves vs. Beastmen DLC is being developped.
@@raphsere That is true. But, Beastmen is a Chaos faction. And all things Chaos are getting a major overhaul with game 3. I think the best we can hope for is some changes on this side of game 3, and then more considerable ones, coming with its release. Next up seem to be the Wood Elves, though ^^
@@raphsere wood elves vs beastmen, empire vs chaos. done.
@@ConsiderableFlux guess norsca can get fucked
Mandy going "WuAaAaUgH" is the best thing ever.
Also Grom the Chef.
Also non-consensual property alterations.
7:34 Grom's Surf n' Turf: "It's like a beach party in your mouth, but everyone's throwing up."
I'm sold on already on the DLC.
Sounds like a killer beach party if you ask me.
Isn't that from Futurama?
@@ultimategamer876 Yes. Yes that fucking is, and its god damn beautiful
So in summary
Da boyz finally actually know how to krump
Da boyz can get to looten

They are still not fixed
Still waiting -_-
>Mandy makes a TWW2 video
>Comments on problems
>Creative assembly tackles the previously untackled problems
Conclusion: Mandy's doing God's work.
doing Gork's work more like
@@MrTrebleCleff You mean Mork's work.
I don't really think he had that much to do with it considering how fast they "tackled it" after he made the video and it was a pretty popular discussion point beforehand, but what do i know.
I am unclear if it's Gork's or Mork's work. Definitely not Gorkamorka's work, it's hideous.
no they were already changing it before the video got released. had nothin to do with it
Never seen a dlc follow up so quick, damn you must really like this game huh
They gave me early access to look at stuff so I could get this done before launch. I'm not sure how this happened because they told me they watched the video before but still did this.
@@MandaloreGaming is the big orc warboss hero real?
@@MandaloreGaming Well it worked on me.
MandaloreGaming they seem nice
@@MandaloreGaming Creative Assembly actually gave an independent game reviewer early access? I guess you've reached the peak of your career haha
Cavill actually has the "White Wolf" trait. Its description is "Wind's howling"

Underrated comment
"I don't joke on THIS channel." I'm on to you, Mr. S.
Hey, hey people
Scrolled down way to far to find this smh.
03:34 Karak Ungor has been renamed to "Red Eye Mountain" with the latest update. That's another thing I'm gonna chalk up to your review.
I don't get what that is. Will someone please explain?
Im not big on WH Fantasy lore but perhaps its a lore gripe that Mandalore had and it wasnt caught by the devs at the time of making the campaign. Mandalore sighs in this review and manually changes it. The fact that the devs then did it themselves is an endearing and hilarious proof that they care about their community
@@stormpants1638 What Mr. Copycat here said. Karak Ungor is the name of the now derelict and Orc-infested Dwarf Hold, which would be known by said Greenskins not by this name, but as the aforementioned "Red Eye Mountain". It has no real gameplay significance, it's just a nice bit of flavour that CA added after the fact...and after this video.
Are we not gonna talk about how they added him to the game in the form of "Ser Man Delour", a new entourage unit for human lords? No? okay
He freaked out over it on Twitter when someone gave him the screencap of it
@@ngngye anyone got a link?
I just found out about this. That is amazing. Mandy is now part of Warhammer lore. What a gamer moment :D
For any Warhammer lore nerds like myself who thought “Wait a second, dwarfs eat troll meat! Why don’t they get infinite stomachs?”
1.) Raw troll meat is actually used as torture by the Greenskins. Since it regrows infinitely, and always at a faster rate than any race can digest, it’s a terrible way to go as your stomach is completely filled with troll meat and it doesn’t stop expanding.
2.) Grom the Paunch is an exception because it’s his entire character. Realistically, there’s no reason he should be alive, but for some reason, the he gained the troll’s regenerative abilities instead.
3.) Troll meat has none of its adverse effects when cooked. However, it’s almost impossible to cook it properly, and the dwarfs are the only race that knows how to. They say it tastes great, but then again, dwarfs will literally eat paintbrushes if it has some good dog hair on it.
It doesn't have to be good dog hair.
@@calebbarnhouse496 that's it, this one's going in the book.
@@origamifan5515 your to picky, a real dwarf will eat stone and slag if that's what his mother put on his plate
The epitome of Dwarfen cuisine is a keg of Bugman's Best and a bunch of no-eyed fish from the 30th deep.
Ogres are the only other race that can eat troll meat but their also cursed by their god, the great maw. They can eat raw nurgle followers too
7:51 *literal boar that probably has all of its intestines still inside on top of something that only marginally meets the definition of bread*
“I mean look at this monstrosity it has pineapple on it”
The pineapples are one hundred percent the worst thing on there.

If they updated them properly id play the hell out of Wood Elves. I just want to speak for the trees
@@-RadioFreeZerg are Wood Elves playable? I own all the DLC minus Vampirw Coast, maybe 1 more, and I haven't noticed the Wood Elves being playable?
@@andrewmeyer3599 They are a first game dlc race, because of their status as a dlc pack for TWWH1 they probably won't get updated unfortunately. At least not until game 3. Also, if you own the dlc you CAN play them in Warhammer 2 but only in the mortal empires campaign.
@@andrewmeyer3599 if you own the DLC they are. Their Roster isn't bad and paired with their lords and magic, they can be really strong.
Campaign wise they lack a lot of "fun" sadly. They are somewhat barebones.
@@andrewmeyer3599 They're certainly playable in the sense that if you start a new Mortal Empires campaign and pick one of their lords the game will start up and not crash or anything like that, yes. As to whether you'll have any fun at all playing them, however...

One last warhammer heroin injection before the warhammer drought. I do hope to maybe see some obscure stuff from my childhood like metal arms keep up the great work!
ya I hear they got at least 1 one content drop planed before the year is out, but unfortunately that is about it. Who knows how long it will be till they even hint at the 3rd game.
Where you see "warhammer drought" I see "modders can do their shit and update mods"
Guys he means warhammer drought on this channel since Mandy is going to stop covering warhammer themed games for a time.
I think it'll be a situation of next dlc will be annocued/released in 3 months time, then 3 moths after that (6 months from now) we'll see a trailer for game 3. Then 6 months after that we'll see a release
so probably about this time next year we'll see game 3?
Remember though that total war: troy is supposed to come out this year as well
@@spacewolfblackmane19 Third game is most likely coming next year, and hopefully early. There's already info about it (the factions not release date).
You're the hero we need in this trying time
7:44 that, combined with the starting hero in Grom's campaign, is a River Troll Hag called "Da Fishy Tiddlemuncha". I really want to know who hurt the developer to make this DLC one of the most cursed in TWW2.
1:46
"Nah, dat was pretty good dere, 'oomie. 'Finking maybe mor filtaz, but good 'nuff."
You did a MajorKill on my ears with that WAAAAGH.
I actually really love the idea of giving the skaven slave slots for army stacking. In fact I think giving most or all of the armies on the campaign map extra slots for low tier units. It would mean that low tier infantry has uses for more than 4 turns which would be lit and make the game feel way more interesting.
LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYZ
That whole part with Grom the Paunch had a very Mad Max feel to it. Even the vehicles looked Mad Max inspired.
When you said you wouldn't be covering the greenskins in detail during the TWWII video because there was a big update coming, I didn't think that meant you'd release a bonus video once the update was known. Thank you for this wonderful surprise!
So Grom's food mechanic is totally gonna be apart of the Ogre's when they finally show up since they're even more food focused.
Yeah, it kind of feels like a test run for some mechanics that the Ogre Kingdoms will use since they're definitely going to be one of the base game factions in game 3.
Cooking simulators enter a new age with this DLC
Centigor milk, sweet boy 'e woz. I feel like Grom did something that's kinda touchy touchy with a centigor's willie.
He, without a doubt, has
"I don't joke in this channel"
Yeah, all the jokes are on the other channel, ssethtzeentach.
The Loremaster of Hoeth named Cavill actually has a unique trait called "The White Wolf", which is a reference to the fact that Henry Cavill plays as Geralt in the Netflix series The Witcher.
5:38 - "He's home alone..." I see what you did there.
A new video so soon :D
Between bigger Grimgor, tech tree, and elves teleporting to giant trees, sounds like CA is eagerly watching your videos
Mandalores slowly becoming the crazy old man of the totalwarhammer community
Mandalore is old man Dreadnought confirmed
Damn, this one isn’t a 4 hour epic

MY THERMAL REACTION IS PULSATING WITH EXCITEMENT!
I appreciate the subtle Oblivion music in the background, Lord King of Limbo.
12:43
If you eliminated a faction during the battle you captured the lord or hero in, they disappear along with their faction. Naturally, since hoard spawns tend to be single army factions, this makes capturing them pointless.
Course, it's been three months. You probably wont see this.
COVID's been good to me being this early on a Mandalore vid
1:46 is the only time I've ever heard a "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH" that actually shocked me. It's amazing.
I shall never grow tired or your Total War reviews. If these have been a taste of things to come, I greatly look forward to the next one!
that 'WHAUAHAUAAH" almost gave me a heart attack
THE EARLIEST I'VE BEEN ON A MANDALORE VID!
I'm so early I didn't even hear "hey hey people" in the intro
I really want to see the Skaven get some variant of the new orc waagh second army, maybe a second army that can only include expendable units attached to the main force so you don't need to bring extra slave taskmasters everywhere. Skaven really needed some sort of mechanic to allow them to surpass the unit cap, and the clanrat summon really didn't do that correctly, although it could be very fun.
Best part about Grom fighting the Elves is the only reason he was there in the first place was that he got bored kicking the Empire's ass.
I can -hear- *feel* the Oblivion's music on the background.
Glad that Mandalore is a man of culture and he likes Fantasy more than 40K. I didn't expect it.
40K is just too hopeless for me, it makes you feel that winning a battle doesn't really matter.
Then, End Times happen to make it as hopeless as 40K
Then, Age of Sigmar Happen to make it exactly like 40K.
Yeah I get how ya feel. I like 40k but progress is horrendously stagnant and the "everything sucks" meter is almost too high to ignore.
I've been struggling with that lately. I've been getting more into Warhammer 40k with watching lore videos and reading some books and I like the factions like Sisters of Battle and the Mechanicus, but it really is all hopeless all the time, and that's hella draining.
My issue with Fantasy... sigmar... whatever, is it's almost the opposite? Most of what I've seen has been more of the goofy side of things. Goofy can be nice, but it's not my prefered.
Noclip just released their documentary on Creative Assembly and I’ve found your two pieces on Total War: Warhammer a great compliment to understandings the game from both sides - developer and player. Good stuff!
Your content is getting way better, followed you for a fair bit now and its nice to see. I do like the longer form videos as well.
"Grim and the Grom" is the true name of the DLC and nobody, not even CA, can change my mind. It's what we called it ages ago when the third DLC was still speculation.
No. The true name for this DLC is “The Fat and the Furious.”
They definitely fixed up the bloom *because* you mentioned it. Don't think I'd heard anyone complaining about it before you, mostly because no one's played WH1 since 2 came out.
You might just be on to something!
The bloom's been on their todo list for a while now. Maybe his review was enough to make them go "now's the time, lads", but its more likely that they've initiated that phase many weeks ago. Reworking lighting takes time. A lot of time.
@@dektarey4024 They certainly appreciated the criticism and took it in the best possible way, fixing the problem (among other issues, DA ORKZ BEING DA BIGGEST ONE) and giving Mandalore a shout out and a review copy of the new DLC. The devs seem like good hardworking people who actually care about their game and it's audience.
I'm fairly certain that if anyone knew that issue was there it was the artists and programmers working on the game. It isn't surprising that they didn't fix it what with constant content creation.
This was a really fun DLC & Trailer to work on! Great review as always!
Excited for the Dark Elves/Lizardmen vs Wood Elves DLC...
I know it's on your list already but Future Cop LAPD was my friggin childhood. Not actually because of the MOBA aspect though, but actually because it was the first coop game I ever played with my dad over 1 keyboard. Fond bloody memories for me. I can't wait for you to eventually try it.
This! Can't decide if I'd want a Ross Game's Dungeon or a Mandalore review of that game though
Awesome game anyways
Absolute lad! Such a quick follow up video to an already hefty review!
Love your content man
Imagine if they added tons of unique fighting animations for all the monster and infantry. An M rsting would allow for some really cool infantry fights. Like instead of swinging at the air they could actually get their weapons lodged in eachother.
Is that Oblivion music I hear in the background.. damn it I need to go reinstall it now
Excellent review. I love how you used Oblivion music for Eltharion's segment, lol.
Im glad we spent more time describing gameplay and impressions instead of just reading through what existed. The first video had to go over so much content there was not much room for analysis.
The best part about Caville is that the actor is on record as being a lover of Total Warhammer, so he himself will almost certainly see this while playing himself.
One of the funniest things about the orks in this game is that sometimes when they sac a city they leave a destroyed building called "The Drops" and you have to spend a turn removing it.
I really Enjoy watching your videos and reviews of old and new games. Keep them coming :)
So Fun lore fact , the platform on the Lava spiders Is made out of Hear resistant Bonewood and spider silk twinings (prob from the same lava spider)
Also gr8 video!
-Falcon Paunch-
Mandalore is done with making warhammer content, for now..
-Mr. Hyde- Is it Sseth's turn now? xD
I spect a full dark elves campaing from sseth for real
I like the detail of using oblivion music when talking about the high elves. Yes I've certainly heard (of them).
Yup, you were right on the money. Black Orc Big Boss for the Skulls for the Skull Throne Event.
YES!!! More of this, please! I knew if anyone could deliver a short, sweet, and damn effective dlc review, it would be you. Thank you Mandalore!
For me I think the HE side is great, Eltharions campaign looks fun, the mistwalkers when fully buffed are insane and I think the new HE spears are much needed

BLEUARGHGGGGH
Thanks for getting me into this game man, its been really fun.
Imagine not promising to do a follow-up video to an already hour and twenty minutes long video, and yet taking the time to do it. You sir are fucking dedicated. Thanks for your integrity and high quality content !
I'm looking forward to this DLC tomorrow. The one thing I'm hoping they come out with in the future is an alternate Chaos faction that emulates the cults that show up in the novels. Lower tier buildings provide Empire troops, mid-tier give corrupted nobles, higher tier buildings give daemons. The Sword of Justice amd Sword of Vengence duology nail it on the head perfectly.
3:37 good job mandalore patchnotes say they will change it to red eye mountain
"calm voice" 1:46 "calm voice again"
Mate, I felt true joy when I saw two new uploads I'd missed after keeping an eye on your channel for months! Now I understand the wait- fantastic work, and I'm no Warhammer buff. These games look crazy!
Props to the devs for the free content updates alongside the DLC they've really gone all out on this game.
Future looks good man.
10:17 "Somehow, the Greenskins have returned"
Are they taking a shot at Star Wars here?
Always enjoy the videos. Long Live Mandalore
I can't wait for the Metal Fatigue video, keep up the good work!
Gotta say, if you're someone who's into online play and you enjoy playing the elves, the silverin guard alone are worth the dlc. They are insanely good compared to regular spearmen. Chuck em in the center with a caster with earthblood and you'll have a frontline that will hold the line long enough for you to go to the kitchen and make a sandwich
Mandalore, I assure you that fire kobolds, dust goblins, troglagobs... all the goblinoid sub-species are all canon and real as far as I'm concerned! Also as much as I like 40k and typically enjoyed playing it more than fantasy, the setting was more appealing overall to me as well
I really hope Manalore keeps covering Total War Warhammer from now on, these videos are fantastic.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for so long for your Metal Fatigue review! Possibly my favorite childhood pc game
