In the book Nagash: The Undying King by Josh Reynolds, there's a city in Shyish that's has skeleton guards to defend the city. However, each skeleton has the original soul bond to the skeleton. This way, people can still defend their homes after death and pass on wisdom. The book doesn't go deeply into this, which is a real shame, but it shows that Grand Alliance Death can have interesting cities and cultures.
The ending of that book is my favourite to show people just how much of an asshole nagash is, I don't think I've been as genuinely angry at any other ending that I thought was good, it makes perfect sense just good god I hate him
Up next, "Do or Don’t - Being Alive"
😂
'do or don't-Matt Ward'
@thejuiceking2219
Inside you, there are two Matt Wards.
One writes about dudes in power armor.
The other creates Trazyn the Inifinite.
I think claiming that warhammer saved vampires is a stretch, but the vampires in it are indeed pretty cool. Vlad and manfred are well written archetypes that are characters first, vampires second.
True but he did say it was partly why, the other reason being jojo
He forgot Castlevania
And VtM(Vampire the Masquerade) which has been the vampire genres life support machine for years
nothing really 'saved' vampires, more just the twilight hate boner died off over time
@thejuiceking2219 true, I remember when I was erect with hate during that
I won't ever speak again
I exclaimed out loud in delight upon seeing this. My dog looked up like “wtf?”
I started SBG a few months ago so while the “do or don’t” aspect is kind of too late, it’s still fun.
Necro Career is Very, Very worth getinjg for V2. The entire reason sienna is my second most played character.
what about V1?
There isn't a necromancer career in that game.
One lore thing I liked (that was at least true in Fantasy) regarding the “every dead enemy is a new zombie” thing is that it doesn’t work with Orcs/Orruks.
While a necromancer can raise them like any other corpse, the resulting zombie will not obey its new master and continue acting like an Orc as if nothing changed.
Kemmler in Total War Warhammer mentions something like that.
He claims he’s one of the few necromancers that can do it when he speaks with an orc faction he’s on good terms in.
“You can have vampires who genuinely care for their living compatriots”
You mean like Ushoran used to when he had an empire? We all saw how that turned out.
Wasn't he sabotaged?
Don't slander the summerking like that it was nagash who brought it all to ruin
If anything I take that as one of those nice baked in lore objectives. You can be an Ushoran loyalist who didn't go bonkers and wants to return the greatest of vampires to his former glory so as to instigate a benevolent reign across Shyish once more. There's a good chance that even if you succeed it wouldn't work out that way, but it's something to aspire to.
@@Sara3346 Well in OG Fantasy he fell under the sway of the Crown of Nagash, aka WHF's One Ring. He thought he could control it, but spoiler warning he could not. Then as the cherry on top, Neferata led a massive orc Waghhh to his empire, and it fell.
The majority of the world's coal was created during the Carboniferous period (359 to 299 million years ago). During the Carboniferous period, earth had a higher atmospheric density and in particular a far higher amount of Co2. As such the world was warmer and most of it's landmass was covered in massive forests of early trees, which were inhabited by large arthropods and salamander like amphibious tetrapods. What it lacked was organisms which could effectively digest wood (a difficult process) and as such, if one of the scale trees in the carboniferous period died and fell down if it did not burn it would likely get buried and compressed into coal.
Coal still forms, but at a less pronounced rate. Peat (decayed plant matter found in the bottom of bogs) is technically ultra brown coal.
Hellsing Ultimate and Hellsing Abridged definitely helped vampires feal terrifying powerful and interesting again. When it takes baby eating nazi vampires and the worst kind of Catholics to successfully make villians more evil than your protagonist. You have made a fascinating vampire protagonist.
I’d credit Castlevania too
@@harmonlanager2670 oh definitely
you mean something that came out before Twilight?
@feral_orc they came out after. The first Twilight book came out in 2005 but the first Hellsing Ultimate episode dropped in 2006. Yes the Hellsing manga and the OG Hellsing anime predates Twilight. But Ultimate is the one that took off
@harmonlanager2670 if vlad dracula was so bad why did he love his wife so much? Checkmate humans
One other lore positive is that vampires especially are kind of difficult to keep dead. This taps more into old Warhammer Fantasy lore, but there's no shortage of vampire characters who managed to die in battle, only to come back through some magical bullshit or another.
The whole purpose of the Black Coach, for example, was to carry the remains of a fallen vampire from battlefield to battlefield. Not only acting as a locus for amethyst magic, but allowing the coach to absorb death energy until the vampire returns to unlife.
So if you are bothered by how your fancy OC vampire character can survive battles where they died, Soulblight Gravelords gives you a blank check to say, "yeah, they died, but it didn't stick". (You could arguably use this same argument even on Necromancers; they're all about death magic, so they can be brought back with whatever arcane ritual you devise).
Petition for a video on Ushoran or flesheater courts in general
They are my favourite death faction
I find it funny that PancreasNoWork gets the weirdest (for youtubers) sponsors
white wolf would've invented vampiric bloodlines independently even if they weren't aware of the von-carsteins and such
white wolf has always been centered around the idea of making up factions for supernatural creatures, and doing so based off of real-life folklore from different parts of the world.
it's just their thing
I agree.
Waiting for Eldar Simp guy make a video about the Harlequins.
I'm sure he's just building up the courage to ask a real clown "do it honk tho?" First
If you guys want some good ol' vampire stuff look at the hunter the parenting from alfabusa
It's so good
Vampire the masqerade is pretty good
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS A VIDEO ON THE SHAMBLING HORDES OF BONES
FINALLLLLLLLY, LET MY CALCIUM MAKE THEM STRONG
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Mmm tasty bones
Such is the power of Nagash
10:37 It was the only reason I started to level up Sienna and I think it's a very fun career, you get the skeletons and you can build her either as a very powerful wizard that can use her skeletons as batteries for your magic or as a grim reaper literally mowing down enemies with the scythe or any other weapon you want.
Would’ve loved if you could give abilities to skeletons that could make them viable instead of batteries like you said
I just finished listening to Cursed City again. Not bad timing.
Is it good?
@@Azrael178I would say yes. At least way better than it needs to be.
is there a story with that name? Google shows that as a board game
@@mr_girr3488 it has a book associated with it. Gw wanted to use it's story to bring models from the board game into the main Age of sigmar game and lore.
@@cameronkelly8469gotcha, its tie in media, thank you!
How ironic that the undead immortal bloodsuckers are a timeless concept
You just can't keep a good corpse down
i mean, the concept of the dead continuing to live amongst us i'm pretty sure goes back to prehistoric times
I just finished 4 out of my 5 Blood Knights and Primed my Crimson Court yesterday. I've been looking for a decent introduction to the Lore of the Soublblight Gravelords and this was great!
As someone who always loved Vlad Von Carstein in tabletop and tww im sad Vlads gone but I've been learning to appreciate the soulblights. This video helps alot thank you very much. Vlad and Isabella gone but not forgotten!
fun fact: Mannfred's kingdom of Carstinia in AoS is canonically an imitation of Old World Sylvania. It even has its own fake versions of Vlad and Isabella. Nagash gave it to him to punish him for his megalomania and so, Mannfred hates spending time in there because it feels wrong to him to hear Fake Vlad tell him how great Mannfred is for the millionth time
Lauka Vai is the new vampire waifu character
@@LordErebusBloodmoongoth mommy of nightmares
the great thing about AoS Vampires is they lean into more then just European Vampires, having an entire part of the faction being the Slavic Wurdulac (Wolf Vampires) is an amazing touch
12:59 Don't think I didn't notice your edit, Pancreas
Gotta say, didn't expect a "space ripper stingy eyes" reference.
That sponsor fucking killed me.
Good news! That makes you the perfect soldier for a newly minted Soulblight army!
Oh boy...do I have the setting for you!
World of Darkness - Vampire: The Masquerade.
That and the Vampire Counts in Warhammer Fantasy have really cool vampire concepts.
Always a good day to wake up and see that the local plastic addict left a new gift in my subscription box
Perfect timing I've just been getting into AoS and my vanguard box of Soulblight just came in today. The perfect video to build to.
I recommend getting the rereleased tomb kings models for skellies. The newer AoS minis are just far too delicate
I was already getting into soulblight and waiting for this video to decide if I should continue or not. But the CoD zombies nostalgia? Oh that hits a spot. Consider me in, this is absolutely my faction. The soundtrack would also be great background music for game sessions too
my advice would be to figure out which dynasty you'd like to play as and collect the models for that dynasty's playstyle. Unfortunately, my adhd ass couldn't do that and now i am building an army capable of being played as both Legion of Blood, Night and Vyrkos
6:30 Oh my god I thought I was the only one left. On Xbox I literally bought the founder's edition to Fortnite: Save the World which was very pricey because it came with two free copies. I only bought it because two of my friends recently became fathers so I bought it to throw both of them a bone. We absolutely loved the game and would frequent the founder's world chat and talk to the devs. Everything seemed to be going so well.
One day the devs asked if we the player base wanted to add some sort of multiplayer pvp to the game. As a collective we said yes but only if it was a team battle with construction that had objectives that you had to protect and a home base that could be captured for a game over situation. The devs pondered for a bit to see what they could do. At the moment PUBG was exploding in popularity so they decided to do that instead. The rest is history.
The player base for Save the World started dying because even though the Battle Royale was free people bought the STW edition thinking they were getting more of a bonus and team play during missions turned into squads of Main Character Syndrome people creating lose scenarios out of pure pandemonium.
One of the rare instances where a game was actually great but shelved because doing something easier and cheaper is the corporate thing to do.
Finally been waiting since the last upload for this.
The thing that saved me from thinking vampiers are lame was Hellsing, because Alucard is so charming and iconic that literally undid all the damage Twilight ever did in those years, basically hard carrying the whole vampier idea on his back.
I was just telling my wife I could go for some sweet release of death and here it is, just waiting for me
In Chicago.
Hear me out
Morbius
I recently discovered Vampire Hunter D, and watched both of it's movies and so this Vampire Resurgence is much appreciated.
Your comment about "Save the World" hit me hard. Good to know i'm not the only one missing the game. Loved it so much.
That round meal made me hate you slightly for one reason: it reminded me it isent a real thing to buy and eat. God damn it I wish it existed
I love the style you make your videos in keep up the good work you’re funny asf.
Grand Alliance of Death has some of the best theming. It all goes together so well and each one has their own thing going on. Vampires are always going to be cool.
The ultimate counter to Soulblight in my experience is nurgle. They do degrading damage on your units, have options to weaken your bravery, and have an army wide ward to prevent a large chunk of those mortal wounds going through. They can also heal a lot
You've got a great radio voice PNW. Love these videos.
Now that is a funny way to spell the "Soulblight Ravelords"
insert Necrodancer theme here
seeing the Yabbit and Airi during the add brings a tear to my eye. keep up the good work
idk why but colins voice and memery just relaxes me in ways i cant understand it just turns my brain to chill laugh at dumb joke mode and is just genuinely enjoyable and informative
Love the video and the way you explain stuff. You are basically painting with words!
Have you considered of making a video about Vlad Von Carstein? You mentioned in your manfred video that you wanted to make one XD
Man just 2 hours ago I was checking for a new video.
Fun video again, man. Thanks.
Thank you for the video.
Every time you make a new video I grow closer and closer to finding where you live Senpai diabetes
Awesome as per the usual
Bro I was literally moments away from getting into soulblight grave lords I NEEDED this video
Always great work pancreas!!
I woulda also say that the Castalvania series really helped with the resurrection of vampires!
Necro Sienna is by far my favourite Sienna career, couldn't recommend it enough! Infinite cleave and explosions on crits just never gets old, especially on higher difficulties with higher horde density.
As soon as I saw that comment about fortnite my feelings for you went from “I really like this channel and watch most all of the videos you make” to “I will bow down before you in worship and wash your feet”
I have been mouthing that exact same sentiment to all my friends for years and no one has ever understood, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar.
42 is not "around 25 years old". Luckily as an aelf most people can't tell the difference.
Lol same. 2005 is just a few years ago, right?
@@horuswasright19 years ago, yeah
A perfect video to watch after I just finished Zombieslayer
A worthy final novel in the Gotrek and Felix series (pre end times.)
I'm in the hospital with DKA right now and this video is exactly what I needed
can't wait for the video on the robot dwarves >;D
What a fine companion piece to playing a Carstein campaign.
Personally feel like the castelvania series also did some good work at helping me appreciate vampires again
Love the video on my personal favorite faction and I love the cod zombies references, Though I mainly grew up with BO2 zombies rather than WAW or BO1 zombies.
10:40 I've been having a blast with it. The skeleton summon cooldown isn't long, like a minute and 45 I think, you get six, and you can sacrifice one to vent 70%. So they're exactly the kind of expendable, easily replaced minion a necromancer should have.
Hey there stereotypical edgy teenage boy, wanna name a Warhammer faction?
I call this chapter blue.
Because of their blue armor?
No.
Because the name of their planet?
No.
Is it because you are the best space marines?
No.
Is it because you come from across the galaxy like the latin meaning of ultramare "across the sea"?
Yes.
I appreciate a good pink woman and roundmeal jumpscare.
Good stuff now please do one for Alariel or Tyrion! We need more elf simping!
Good one
Another video and I'm still hoping for a vampire coast video
grand alliance death......*sighs contently* Thank you for another awesome vid :)
Pancreasnowork I really like your videos your video are well made I appreciate it I really like the eldar aesthetics I could imagine if an eldar used the Guyver biobooster armor you should read Guyver biobooster armor manga it’s really dark and interesting.
29:51 I remember commenting that on your Manfred von karstein video.
Worth it for sure
Gg dude glad i stumbled upon your content
Pancreas is the type of guy to float towards a pie on a window sill
17:01. I see what you did there. That song was the best.
Cant wait for the flesh eater courts video :)
Damn, that nostalgia tickle hit hard. The good ole days
I would say Siennas necromancer class is worth getting. You can change out how her minions work (attack or defense focus) and it's fun to use them against the hordes sent against you.
A pancreas video and a leutin vid the fantasy/AoS and 40k stars have aligned
Wait a second....I literally just caught on that you were using zombie song lyrics as lines in the script and BOOM you drop the Dier riese trailer. touché my man very touché
YO my favourite AOS faction finally getting some focus
Twilight ruined vampires
I'm fully in the Summerking's court but the Soulblight are pretty rad 👌
I cannot stand for slander against New Summercourt! They definately have a plan... maybe? Anyways amazing video!
I just got these guys and I wanna do a pure Skelton army
I both love and hate your reoccurring bashing of Chicago in your videos 😂😂
I am intereted in lore only atm. Reading the books. However, if i should ever get into the hobby, tanks would probably be it. I love astra militarum tanks
I also enjoyed old CoD zombies and I still wait for a Kharadron faction video.
Damn i was not expecting a pippa reference in the sponser ad
Good god, the twilight point was spot on.
hell yeah, another video from my favourite internet diabetic 🤩
Wording the function of vampires as the generals of monster hierarchy is interesting. I didn’t think of it that way.
Yes my blood angel kit bash bits they are perfect but really I just love the esthetic and how they play in aos
Skeleton hoard but not Egyptian is why I want to play them
Man that company you did for ad was quite fitting for this video: their quite ghoulish
while i will always be a sour bastard about Old World I do like these AoS videos because i know VERY little about the setting, factions, and game
honestly the orc warclans was hilariously awesome to me.
hope you can do a Kharadon Overlords one soon i really wanna know how they work c:
