Ah! A classic Bretonnian build where 5 units do all the killing and the rest of the army does all the dying - all's right with the world!
But on a serious note it's reassuring to see that elite BRT can still pull their weight against a Game3 faction. The fears of powercreep were real.
Bretonnia are virtually the IG of Warhammer Fantasy, where they rely more on their cavalry, than their infantry. I too feared that Bretonnia would not be able to hold up, as they are my favorite faction to play. They are the every man faction, the average joe, fighting along side noblemen on horseback, and I sincerely thought the peasants and foot squires would not be able to hold a candle to any of the new factions. I do hope to see some dismounted knights in the future, as the tabletop Bretonnia, was never truly fleshed out.
As one of the hyper small minority of Alberic fans, it's great to see him shine in game 3. Campaign wise his new start will be great fun too.
Same
Same with Settra for me
@@Beenevolence The king of kings is on my list but after I've been more familiarised with the new stuff in immortal empires. All these lls around him stress me xD
Alberic fan lol
As a Repanse fan, glad finally another bretonian can go on a crusade that isn't repanse
Peasants forced to fight ogres, lose hundreds of their family and friends to a few dozen giant fat guys. PTSD, concussions, major injuries, etc. Nobles will get all the credit.
Just as it should be. FOR ZEEE LAYDEEEEEHHHH
and of course being eaten either during, or after the battle.
I said it again and again but i will repeat myself, i don't understand why hippogryph knights doesn't have the trait "living saint" like any other grail units, CA put hippogryph knights in the "grail vow" category but they don't get bonus from Bretonnia tech tree regarding grail vow units nor do they get magical attacks, they got big ass spear imbued with magic which aren't considered magical its so weird
I think they did not include the trait so as not to make them op
@@czardavid6710 Would they be op with perfect vigour though, they are such a gamble unit, amazing if you pull em off but so vunerable if your opponent counters them
@@czardavid6710 and it deffo seems like they should do magic damage too
They're royal hippogryph knights....they should be OP. They are basically the dark angel's deathwing of wh fantasy. How do you balance OP? Make them cost a fortune
@@sawyeratkinson Grail Knights in general are heroes whose presence on the battlefield should strike fear and awe. Put them on hippogryphs and they should make an enemy player take them mighty seriously.

“SHUT PHILLIP!”
Man I don’t know why but I’m just getting so hyped for everything that warhammer 3 is bringing to the table amazing map amazing reworks for old and new lords and factions the first dlc on its way witch already looks amazing the fan base is actually happy I’m just so hyped for what this series is gonna bring out over the next 4 or 5 years against another great video man keep it up
Right dawg, it’s gotten me soooo freaking hype
I'm frothing at the mouth for Nurgle chosen with healing and for the Blood DLC with valkyrie the bloody when she comes out with immortal empires. Defiantly my first campaign will be the slaughter queen.
Also really hyped to have my friends dive into a game where we all pick chaos factions and go full scorched earth across the mega map.
@@zacharysain8516 I do find it abit funny that the community has done a complete 180 on the game now all off a sudden CA is the best the game looks awesome there the same people that lost heart in the game and labelled the game a waste off money personally myself I never lost faith in it I always knew when IE came out it was going to be unbelievably good the dlc secured that for me obviously there confident iff there dropping a dlc along side it
@@iforgotmyname1669 same here khorne has always been my favours chaos faction but I seem to always enjoy playing slannesh the most right now me and all my friends are setting for one big mega campaign.
The good thing is we all like our different factions on my first play thru I’ll either play vilich or azazel because there to me are gonna be the most interesting and then half my friends will play chaos along side me either daemons or warriors and the other half will play the order factions but we’ve decided that no one should play like high elves because who what’s to roll up on turn 140 to be met with a full stack off Phoenix gaurd and sisters off averlorn.
But I think it’s gonna be sick in a campaign scenario to fight your freind who’s kislev holding back againts let’s say the plague ride off nurgle or your other friend who’s Cathay holding back the seducers off slannesh obviously gonna have loads off solo campaigns but I’m just so hyped for everything coming out and man the dlc’s are going to be Insane I really hope chaos dwarfs ain’t overpowered tho because that’s gonna make the dark lands a major painnn
@Grayble's Gringus at least until medieval 3 comes out lol
I can’t believe after all the changes that have been implemented, Hippogryph Knights still don’t have Living Saints lol
ill do my best to get them the trait!
@@milkandcookiesTW Please do and great replay man
@@GlamdringandOrcrist or magical attacks
What? Flying a weird brown pigeon makes them special or smth?
Basic changes like that takes CA about 5 years to implement if any. Kinda like Grombrindal getting terror routed all those years.
Is it just me or is there a huge visual upgrade here? All of these videos featuring Immortal Empires have looked simply fantastic.
Those hippos looking majestic
Holy...
I knew stonehorns were large, but I didn't really put it into perspective until that charge at 5:12. I'm used to seeing them in relation to ogres and demons, so seeing them alongside normal humans really makes them look larger.
literally full grown men barely hit ANKLE height on that thing. can’t even imagine would it would be like to stumble upon one in the snowy mountains
*Dread Saurian has entered the chat*
@@marcgw496 Dread Saurian has died from focus fire
Is it only me that’s excited that u can choose a minor faction to play as , it’s really the little things that bring so much life to the game
its a really nice quality of life feature
I really like that too
The Stonehorn did so much damage on the charge because the charge was aimed at the unit behind it you dont need a stonehorn to do so much damage. Enticity did a vid about it.
I finally manage to use chariots effectively because of this trick. I love it
Gotto love the ogre charging animations, just total overkill hitting as hard as they can, violence for its own sake really well done, we need the bloodpack soon tho :D
God damn man just look at how epic this shit is. Like could we have imagined this six years ago or whatever when the game first launched? We thought it was nuts then, what about now? Just insane. IE is going to be something super special when all is said and done.
Game still needs a bit of fine tuning I reckon but yeah it's shaping up decently.
This is pretty much the Bretonnia build my wife was considering after the first match dropped: Beastslayers, elite cavalry, and an air corps. Nice to see her instincts were on point.
Really hoping for a Bret dlc with Bohemond as the LL and Calard of Garamont as a unique paladin hero. If ya don’t know who Calard is he’s the main character in a trilogy of books set in Brettonia. Really good book series
Would you happen to know the title of the series?
@@chilliewhk pretty sure it's just 'Knights of Bretonnia'
@@silverhost9782 thanks, I'll look around for a copy
@@chilliewhk yeah course. It’s called Knights of Brettonia: The Omnibus. £15 on iBooks for the whole lot. Tells the story of the young noble Calard as he moves up the ranks of knighthood. Gives you a really good look at the world of Brettonia from both the noble and peasant perspective
If you use a big monster like stonehorn and aim two clumped up units, aim at the one who is a bit behind, if you do that , when monster enters charge animation it will act as a huge chariot until it reaches the unit it aims for, so if that is slightly behind, the unit in front gets run over taking max damage on each model. Thats how that stonehorn got so many kills in one charge.
Got that from Enticity's video?
Great showcase of how Bretonnia is such a well designed faction. Their playstyle perfectly fits their philosophy and lore.
That stonehorn head is going to look mighty impressive mounted on Alberic's wall.
You've clearly been putting a lotta effort into these vids. The close ups and cinematic pans and zooms deserve recognition. Great stuff.
Thank you for mentioning the lack of Living saints on the Hippos it has bothered me for years
10/10 thematic playstyle: Have the elite ignore the plight of the peasants, and get one of your elites killed due to haughtiness XD
Peasants completely run over while the knights do all the work. Perfect Bretonnia play
This was actually awesome. Hyppogryphs are simply awesome, i always enjoy games when they are on the field.
That map looks so cool! Such a different style from the usual wilderness maps!
FOR ZE LADY
Aka the elven imposter
Wouldn't archers with poison/fire be better? since game 2, they removed friendly fire application of poison so you don't risk poisoning your own, and in game 3, fire damage reduce healing. Sounds like good debuffs for the price.
Oh man it's great to see Royal Hippogryph Knights getting some work done. Cheers.
I live in Finland and because of the time zone difference your vids in past week have come out when it's already night here but it has been perfect for me to watch these while I eat breakfast before going to work. I cannot wait for Immortal Empires but I'm so happy I can watch these battles before it launches.
The Medieval soundtrack is always nice to hear!
While this fight stands on its own merits the literature nerd in me feels the need to talk about how Ogres vs Bretonnia IS pretty much the original Arthurian matchup. While Dragons have kind of come to be the classical foe of heroic Knights, in truth there are very few Dragons in Arthurian myth, almost all the monsters slain by the Knights of the Round table are some variant of Giant or Ogre.
While the Matter of France shifted in tone somewhat to fighting Saracens and dragons started to pick up steam, Ogres are still predominant in that myth cycle as well.
In short this is THE most true to OG source material lore matchup in the game.
I've always felt that cavalry with lances should have a bit of an AP bonus when their charge bonus is active. Would make them a lot effective when cycle charging.
Lances should be armour piercing. That's literally the entire point of a lance basically. Concentrate all the force of a charge into a single point to punch through the thick armour of opposing knights. Apparently in Warhammer, they're using jousting lances with blunt tips.
@@GeraltofRivia22 Exactly. I think that they should have an increase in AP when their charge bonus is active to replicate the impact of a horse and rider (particularly units with heavy lances like Bretonia or the Empire). Whereas units with warhammers or poleaxes etc should have a slightly smaller AP bonus all the time.
It's frustrating to see a unit of knights slam into the back of some heavy infantry and not do very much.
But from what I understand, the charge bonus does increase AP, as it increases the weapon strength by Tbd charge bonus: splitting between normal damage and ap damage is the basic unaltered weapon strength proportion.
Charge bonus/impact damage is mostly ap.
@@alexf1353 isn’t it charge bonus damage split in the proportion of the base weapon Damage?
good stuff man, you're a great commentator. Feels like a real play by play of an important match
thanks much appreciated :)
Absolutely amazing game, best replays on YT here man
The Stonehorn charge hits extra hard if you charge the unit behind the target, because it maintains momentum for impact damage against little guys.
Massive props for doing "the Lady's work" & trying to finally get living-saints on hippos!
Love the shimmering armour, it works really well on Bretonnia.
Man, this map looks so nice. Just gorgeous.
Your thumbnails for this custom battle series have been on point my friend, loving the content, can’t wait for more x
My favorite faction is Bretonnia and I usually always play as Alberic so this is awesome!
I can’t believe the same community that seemed to be saying total war is dead when 3 launched are all now super hyped for the game.
Chill
You're awesome Indy, love your videos !
thanks mate much appreciated!
I cannot even begin to imagine how would the Knights celebrate downing a beast like the Stonehorn.
Amazing video as always! The care you have for the quality of the work you put out really shows. Keep it up, my dude!
When i saw companions rolling in with full hp i knew it was over xD
I wonder how a trebuchet would fare here. Ogres are huge targets, and trebs are already used against demigryph knights, so I guess that could be a suitable matchup for them.
Aaah, Alberic w/aoe bvL, life, and ap Knights, Louen with heavens debuff and non-ap Knights, repanse with beasts and grail reliquae peasants against vampires. And morgiana in the trash can for being meta. The old ways, the chivalrous and non-toxic, where opponents thank you if you manage to beat them. That's what I've been waiting for!!
Please report the lack of the living saint attribute so that Bretonnia can take more advantage of the ogres in the MP :D and save more peasants :,v
FOR ZE LADY
Great battle!
Brettonia is one of my fav factions. I can not wait to play WH3 as them
Really like this map, much better tree coverage than the tree acne of game 3 maps
Just started watching. Two of my favorite factions in Fantasy for different reasons- I gotta pull for Bretonnia here as the massive underdogs tho
You have some of the nicest quality videos. Great job.
What a beautiful map.
Thanks for all them uploads Indy! Hella entertaining!
Bro that thumbnail!
I like those ogres in blue dabadidadub
Awesome build, great game. I want to try blending in Gotrek too. This is the way!
14:32 Certified Knight of the Grail moment lol
I think what happened with the rediculous charges is that when you target a unit behind another unit, the charge animation will do contact damage all the way through the unit in front doing absurd damage while the unit they actually targeted they'll stop halfway through.
So cool to see hippos do well
Alberic does seem like the ideal lord for this fight. his own and the aura of anti large is useful enough, but something I didn't see this game was his tidecall effect. It doesn't help with ogres themselves much, but it could've cleared out a lot of gnoblar chaff. Here it would've helped if the beastslayers had the gnoblars cleared so they could jump onto the ironguts earlier.
This game made me think the rumors about dwarves struggling in domination. I think they might be good against Ogres in domination. The difference in speed is reduced, dwarves want to fight Ogres from range, and a lot of staple dwarf units like slayers will fulfill their role to full effect.
Maybe dwarves v ogre domination to test this theory?
Even thinking about the stonehorn gyro gyrocopters are a great way to force the stornhorn all the way of the battle...once it has been effected by psychology of course and while that is a big caveat it seems most battles the easiest way to deal with the stonehorn is to inflict psychology as it's not going to die
I cannot wait to fight as Bretonnia in Immortal Empires!
Noice, can’t wait to see you cover the rework/dlc fully
Real talk
You've been beating Turin and Enticity.
WTF man
My two favorite armies. I own both armies, but my Ogors are AoS. TWWH always makes me remember how pretty my army was on parade. Poor boys have atrophied in a box somewhere though.
Never realized how pretty this game actually is.
Just gotta hang on and wait for IE to experience it myself :D
Bretonnia NEEDS new units. At least two horse archer units (lvl 3 and lvl 4), one half decent melee infantry and at least two monsters. It’s the most one dimensional faction in the game. You play like a 100 turns, get absolutely sick of them and never touch them for like half a year.
I love Alberic de Générique.
He is just a man with a stick in the World of madness. But he stands against the tide of horrors nonetheless.
I love Warhammer 😊
Thanks for the video
Do a Dwarf vs something video to show off Dwarf Rune Magic and how it holds up with the Winds of Magic changes
Faith, Chivalry and Lances baby!
Could we see any siege battles? Have they made changes to places like Altdorf, Karak Eight Peaks, or the Elf Gates?
I never wanted to play Alberic since he was just a worse Lourn but anti large, his new position makes him really interesting
The peasants were wiped clean off charge, because the models were clumped together and they were facing the wrong way, without bracing for the charge. If you look at the angle they were positioned at, you should see it quite obviously.
Awesome replay, but it's tough seeing my fatties get skewered
I never realized Warhammer Ogres were that big... like I knew they were big, but that is absolutely horrifying.
Awesome video
Alberic needs a makeover visually
seems ogre armor is like ork tech in 40k: they are heavily armored because they believe they are
Thanks!
no problem Steve much appreciated mate!
Just a small question about a match up I don't think I've seen how does the HE vs nurgle look like?
peasants like " always look on the bright side of life" lol
I really hope they work on the lighting to make the metal less shinny
i can only assume that this is a special build give to youtubers that cover Total War? Because i really want to mess around with skaven and the Warriors of Chaos again
yes this build is private for content creators. IE releases publicly Aug 23
@@milkandcookiesTW i figured but, still it feels good that we are getting all those new Chaos God specific chaos warriors to go with IE and the new Champions of Chaos campaign i have to say sounds like it can be really fun this time
Is this a change in Immortal Empires: that you can choose which flag/colours you want for your faction in custom battles, like Indypride here playing as Parravon?
yes in custom/multiplayer
Nice
Really wish CA would fix the mount and rider colour matching for Bretonnia. The Beastslayers of Bastonne should be yellow and red and they are messed up too.
Who makes your thumbnails thats epic?
Medieval II Music
Is there something wrong with coast? I haven’t seen but 1 or 2 replays of them and they’re one of the bigger factions if I recall. Definitely one of the more hype DLC.
The scary part is the fact brettonia's army is completely built up with very specific units to fight ogres while the ogres army is built with generic units to fight anything.
Sure in multiplayer that's fair cause you know your oppponent's faction, but in campaign I feel its going to be annoying being at war with ogres cause it'll force you to bring so much anti-large.
Ogre infantry completely mauled spear infantry even when it's kind of supposed to be the counter..
This was an absolutely fantastic battle, and not one sided like some match ups can be. Dahv is an awesome player and this must have been heaps of fun to play because it was heaps of fun to watch, and it wasn't another awful Domination match.
I wonder how well a WE vanguard & stalk army with Orion would cope against the Ogres...?
god i fucking love alberic
If Bretonnians had good infantry with Gunpowder they would be a very powerful faction.
Glad to finally see a competent player using Bretonnia as it should be, by exploiting its strength, which is its elite knights of course.
Personally I'd like to see a peasant archer spam instead of that useless melee chaff and more elite cavalry
So the Horse Botherers vs Boston Beach Goers
Indy, I am interested if you have any thoughts on the recent annoucement that WOC cannot confederate?
Personally I think it makes sense in most cases, but really think Archaon should be the exception to that rule. if not Be’lakor and Kholek too. I will be sad if i cant lead the champions of all four gods as the everchosen :(
Ah yes, the not french vs the not americans
low hanging fruit lol
We aren't even in the top fattest nations
@@kingragnork I looked it up. Percentage of adult population that is obese.
First, the US is in the top fattest nations, every nation is in the top fattest nations. You have to specify a number there.
Second, the US is 12th. Even if we stopped there, 12th out of several hundreds is already pretty damning.
Third, the top 10 are all small island nations in the Pacific Ocean, with a combined population of less than one million. Eleventh is Kuwait with less than 5 million population. Considering that the US number over 300 million, I would definitely say that the US is in the top fattest nations, without a doubt. It is absolutely the fattest of the nations that people seem to care about, anyway.
