*I hope you all enjoy part 1 of My Elspeth Von Draken Campaign for Total War: Warhammer 3! I'll be releasing this series EVERY Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday going forward! Thanks to CA for the Early Access to the Thrones of Decay DLC! Missed the 2nd XX on the Mark XXIV aka Mk 24 cloak ;)*
Good to see The Empire return. I have some advice regarding the great cannons.
As far as I understand, the shots from the great cannon will bounce when they hit the ground the first time and continue forward for a bit further. Depending on where they land and what is in their path, this can allow great cannons to rack up a lot of kills in a single volley. Their best use case is against large targets like monstrous infantry, cavalry units, and very large single entity units. Less ideal but still good use cases are Chosen which have high health per model. The great cannons have a lot of punch in their shots so they'll take a lot of fight out of the chosen before they can get close. You can snipe lords with great cannons, but that isn't ideal because most lords aren't that big of a target so they are easy to miss. Targeting infantry isn't a bad idea if there isn't anything better, but do try to prioritize armored infantry or high health per model infantry like chaos warriors, chorf warriors, and plague bearers with the great cannons. Anything else is likely just a waste unless you can hit a lot of models which is unlikely. You'll probably get somewhere between 50-75 kills on average per unit of great cannons per battle, but sometimes you may get lucky and surpass 100.
For the love of God do spaces in your first line so your Guns can fire... Otherwise this is going to be really frustrating to watch
thanks i really enjoyed it
@@yomogami4561 you're welcome!
Who's ready from some lore?!! :D
Elspeth is the one responsible for the destruction of Tamurkhan when he lays siege to Nuln. How, you may ask? She makes the equivalent of a Death Magic nuke talisman and then gives it to the champion of Nuln, Theodore Bruckner, without really telling him what exactly it was. Theodore and Tamurkhan duke it out in an epic duel atop their mounts, and Theodore manages to defeat Tamurkhan...or so he thought. Tamurkhan, who is actually a large demon-maggot, bursts forth from his destroyed Ogre body and latches on to poor Theodore, burrowing into his body through his mouth. However, the moment Tamurkhan latches on, Elspeth's little surprise activates, exploding into a ball of Death Magic that reduces Theodore, Tamurkhan, and anyone unlucky enough to be in the vicinity into purple ash. Thus fell Tamurkhan.
A perfect example of how Elspeth will always get the job done, even if the methods leave something to be desired. :D
"You have to do the most hard decisions for the good of your people". That's who she do to save the empire with a great treat like Tamurkhan
doesnt she also die in the death of Tamurkhan? along with them both according too lore nvm im mistaken :) apparently shes like Jesus an rises from the dead
@@justinmangus567 Its not even really certain if she is really all that human. She walks the veil between life and death so thinly that her surviving just about anything that would kill any normal human is pretty likely.
Where’s this lore from? I’ve been wanting to get into the warhammer lore but don’t know where to start
"Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"
- The Dark Lady of Nuln
Alternate name for Tim: Tim the Gunchanter.
I was thinking Tim the Enginechanter
No way...tim Will be back?!
Or Tim the Powder Mage if he is a fan of Brian McClellan
The only name IM actually can remember is RASPUTIM
warcries:
I CAST GUN!
MORR FIREPOWER! (spelling deliberate)
ACCURACY THROUGH VOLUME OF FIRE!
and of course... 5 IS RIGHT OUT!
There are so many Morr puns to do as unit names Morr-tician(s), Morr-tuary guard(s), Morr-tuary swords, Tim the Morr-tician, or Morr-tuary assistant.
You know, the idea that a Skaven is giving ideas in the Gunnery School or any subject matter is not unheard of for they are constantly scheming. Who knows how many weapons were made or spells conjured because a mysterious figure in a grey cloak gave a simple idea.
they then steal it once it's more finished. Because much as Ikit is very capable himself, he also knows there are other "almost as good"(Read: just as good but he'd sooner die than admit it) inventors not too far he can "borrow" from. And there's nothing he would love more than to take their ideas and make them his to "prove his superiority".
Maybe it's a captured Skaven Engineer being kept in a cage. The humans are happy because the Skaven gives them ideas and helps somewhat and the Skaven is happy because he gets more than 1 meal a day and only beaten sometimes.
Ten years watching your channel sir, since Rome 2 Total War
Same...but IM not subscribed yet...but when he make kislev campaign..i subs him
@@sulton_story_storeso you’ve watched him for a Decade but never subbed? wtf dude do you really think he doesn’t deserve it.
Been here since Sparta let's play. Man how I wished he did another campaign of them
This is what IM actually waiting for bruh....human empire campaign
Tim the Engine Enchanter
It should just fit in the limit and fits with your Tim the Engineer Enchanter idea.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Elspeth's Carmine Dragon and some of those upgrades for the Gunnery units. The Nuln Ironsides with the Tier 3 explosive bullets in particular should be absolutely insane, especially if you get some Lord Buffs from a Master Engineer then put an Engineer Hero in their army.
Also really hope you can get some Outriders with Grenade Launchers soon, I'll never get tired of watching them slam volleys into skeletons and zombies.
For the Gardens of Morr you'd ideally want to have them in Allied or Owned Settlements in corners of the Empire. So one near Marienburg, one in Sylvania, one in the Norldland area and another to the North East on the border of Kislev. That just lets you instantly move to respond to threats in any region of the Empire if needed.
I know Gotrex and Felix helped save Nuln from Thanquol and the Skaven. I don't think they met Elsvith but they did get the thanks from some woman that was in a position of power. So having them in your campaign would be thematic also the Skaven end game.
It was the countess of nuln that thanks them
Still my favourite total war youtuber since total war rome 2
The Amathyst Order is the order of the Colleges of Magic that studies Shyish, the Purple Wind of Magic, the Lore of Death.
Whilst necromancy SEEMS similar, that black art is a corrupt combination of Shyish with Dark Magic Nagash picked up from the Druuchi eons past.
In actuality, the Amathyst Order is probably the MOST dedicated foe of the undead in the Empire outside the Priesthood of Morr and the Knights of the Black Rose as well as various Sigmarite or unaffiliated Vampire Hunters, for Shyish is the study of natural entropy and spiritual movement, whilst necromancy is by definition a halting of entropy and stagnation.
To wielders of Shyish, undeath is a perversion of everything they stand for.
I'm glad I got here early. Here are some unit name suggestions. I'm not good with names
Purple Rain: Hellstorm rocket battery
Sigmar's cigar: Great Cannon
Stake n Shake: Spearmen or Halberd
The Reborn: Imperial Knights
Hole Punchers: Imperial Gunmen
Off the top: Greatswords
I can see the Skaven being very jealous of the 'more rockets yes yes' - but then they DO have the rattling guns, which I love to see in action
Wonder how Ikit feels about Elspeath's 11000 damage death magic nuke she can drop
Thank God, the Bulge Boys are still in charge of the Hellstorm artillery!
Part of Elspeth’s lore is that in the Nuln Gunnery Middleschool she was a goth and bullies relentlessly by the other teenage elector counts
but... she is not an elector count
@@beastofthemount414 goths don’t get it be elector counts
I've got you and Sotek pulled up on separate windows while I wait on my own embargo to drop. Awesome video as always!
Tips from my own testing, be very patient with your first few sieges as Elspeth! Your foot soldiers will get dropkicked by undead units, so use those heroes to distract or blob up baddies while your explosives do the work! You want mortars as SOON as possible to complement your helstorm! Good luck to you sir!
i love that you're reading and showing everything about the faction and the way it works, I'VE BEEN ELECTED TO LEAD NOT TO READ, can't wait to dive into that new DLC
It's not Prototype 14. It's prototype 24 😂
Yeah I realised after I finished recording
Great to see the content Lionheart!
Got a thematic army for you; The Nuln Land Navy;
Master Engineer as a Lord
Lore of Metal Wizard
Centerpiece Marienburg Landship
The Black Lions War Wagons
War Wagon Mortars
Regular War Wagon
Steam Tank volley Gun
Outriders with Grenade Launchers x2
Nuln Ironsidesx2
Remainder of the roster as you see fit!
So glad to see the empire again, feels like an age since they had the spotlight
Looking forward to seeing how this series turns out!
Hellstorm Rocket Battery...Stormin' Norman.
Elspeth’s dragon’s name is Purple People Eater.
After the CA videos, I'm very excited to see this new campaign, it's features and the changes to the Empire. SO, I was extremely pleased to see you've posted this video. o7
Alternate name for Tim: timas the tank engine
Ive been waiting for this
Yessssss....i love it
Land ship names: HMS Cubheart, HMS Cubheart Jr
And for a limited time, the Lady Cubheart HMS!
My golden boy is getting a new starting position! Feck yes! So excited for that
i like how they updated the 3D models, it looks more clean
regarding army composition: nothing specific BUT - for this faction i recommend looking up the strategy of 'reverse hill defense' Its a pike and shot era strat that lasted to the age of sail/renaissance. Its... extremely effective for empire gun heavy armies.
Been looking forward to this one. I am not normally that enthused about the Empire, who I am not a big fan of, but Elspeth looks interesting.
Name for Hochland Long Rifles - The Sharpe Shooters
Aaahhh, here it is!
One of the special amethyst Helstorm batteries that fires mini Purple Suns can be named the Purple Melon Catapult.
A steam tank named the Talabheim Ice Cream Truck would also be nice.
You don't need your units in a wide line, that makes them worse at holding in melee and wastes time they would be shooting for your gunner units. A 4-man deep line fires as well as a 2-man deep line but the 4-man line will be formed up faster. Same goes for Infantry units.
You should also try using the Chevron formation, form your Infantry and Gunners up *Infantry - Gunner - Infantry - Gunner - repeat* then when battles start retreat just your gunners, the enemy infantry when charging will blob up around your infantry and be able to be fired upon MUCH more efficiently.
Great video as always. I am glad to see you return to Warhammer 3. Maybe try to avoid having your rockets fire over your units as often, i think you are killing more of your own troops than the ennemy is.
Name suggestion for artillery units:
- Tim's Big Boom Boys
- Bombardiers of Nuln
Name suggestion for cavalry units:
- Skull crushers of Nuln
- Death heads
I was so confused why I couldn’t find the pre order or discount, thanks for the info
Unit name suggestions:
Nuln ironsides: Brotherhood of gunpowder
Knights of the black rose: Deliverers of death
hellstorm rocket battery: eclipsing storm
there is a building in cathey near gelt that gives all your wizards elemental mastery so even if you don't go pokemon mode somehow getting you hands on the settlement (i think it's called temple of the elemental winds or something like that) is definitely worth a shot
"overcoming inertia!" is so funny to me and idk why
Perhaps Tim should be Tim the Enginechanter?
On strategy with gunner heavy factions is to stagger your melee troops to allow your gunners in the back to fire through the gaps, essentially creating lanes of fire, another thought is to create slight wedges to force engagements of melee troops at an angle, to allow a direct firing lane into the flanks of the enemy by your gunners.
Hey Lionheart big fan Love the videos I was hoping you could maybe do a Noel Ironside unit as the iron maidens gunners
Unit Name Suggestion for the master engineer lord: Sparky the Powder Mage
I go to College at ASU and something that is always repeated is that we are #1 in Innovation (however you measure that) I feel it goes great with the Master Engineer line "Expert in Innovation"
My unit name suggestion is Children of the Blade for any swords unit, preferably a higher quality unit so that they are less likely to be obliterated in battle : D
I am so glad they have finally given us Elspeth I hope they give us the other elector counts as well eventually but for now I am happy with Elspeth.
Oh our Goth queen of the Empire finally gets her time to shine.
Name suggestions:
Handgunners - The Freshmen
Black Rose Knights - Mournful Masters
Volley Gun - Morr Dakka
Nuln Ironsides - IGS Professors Union
Handgunners - R&D Interns
Great Cannon - Cannon Fodder
Swordsmen - Crash Test Dummies
Engineer - Not 3 skaven in a trench coat
Engineer - Nuts Von Boltstein
Handgunners - Nuln Oil Enthusiasts
Tim the Boomancer cause with the faction mechanics artillery should be a big part of the campaign
For any calvary unit in honor on Bernard Hill we need a Theodan's Guard
Skarsnik got moved a whole while ago, fortunately for him. He now starts near the Silver Road and has a tendency to absolutely curb-stomp Karaz-a-Karak, which is fun.
Unit name suggestions:
The Wissenland Welcome Commitee - any kind of long range artillery such as Mortars, Hellstorm Batteries or Cannons
The Hendorf Hardscopes - Hochland Longrifles
Emanuelle's Pony Club - Any cavalry unit but preferably Outriders
The Dotternbach Dakka Delegation - Either Nuln Ironsides, Outriders or Hellblaster Volley Guns
The Handsome Headsman's Heavy Hand - Greatsword or Carroburg Greatswords
I was w8ing this day for decade
ugh I'm so conflicted now because I want to start up a Karl campaign but I know as soon as the dlc drops im gonna drop everything to play Elspeth
name suggestion: unit of ironsides - The wheelchair detectives.
yes.. Im old, I loved that show when i was a kid ;)
Funny how in the video she says she wants to drive back the forces of evil while she herself looks pretty evil. I guess you gotta fight fire with fire.
And why would you think a mount would make any character more tanky? The only thing it does is take her out of reach when she flies. Usually the only thing mounts do to characters is severely reduce their melee defence and weapon damage/strength while buffing speed and charge bonus (and maybe hp pool a bit).
Skellies so brave, continue fighting even after having lost their head.
Maybe try to ambush in reinforcement range of your settlement so that if the ambush gets foiled, you can still try to prevent the loss of the settlement?
Enemy spears and lionheart cav magically attract one another.
I bet the Knights of the Black Rose also can‘t wait to meet you and Morr soon after 😅
the research iron resolve passive (cannot die) is only active if HP is above half, it basically is saying they cant be one shot.

Great start with Elsbeth. Two Tips: Probably you should turn off guard mode and on skirmish mode for the outriders … and try a chevron setup with your gunners to have a clear sight or have a clear movement area in the front of them …
Chevron:

Some names for Knights of the Black Rose:

PURPLE SUNS FOR DAYS!
“There’s so many bad things happening!”
-Imperial Motto (unofficial)
For a themed army, I plan to build an engineer Lord and hero with just a good mix of steam tanks and Calvary I will have my panzer division lol
Von Draken was instrumental in defeating and slaying the Kurgan Champion of Nurgle Tamurkhan when the Maggot Lord launched a massive invasion of Wissenland with a great horde of the Warriors of Chaos and their Chaos Dwarf allies out of the Eastern Steppes that culminated in the savage Battle of Nuln in 2510 IC.
Army names
Helblaster Volley Gun = The big DAKKA (Orc's stole it from the Empire. Now they steal it back.)
Hand Gunners = Nuln's Rifleman
Renowned Hand Gunners = Nuln's Marksmen
Free company militia = Thy Duelist squad
Hellstorm rocket battery name Empires Independence
First name for one of the cannon unit big bang
Would love to see balanced armies with a mix of basic spear and some cannon, cav, etc. So that it is not totally max power.
I would really like to see one more empire DLC focusing on the cult of Ulrich (not sure if that is spelled correctly) were they overhaul the warpriest abilities because then you can have more priest of sigmar or priests of Ulrich the head of the cult is actually like a really powerful character in Warhammer fantasy he has the wolf knights the wolfkin and a few other people maybe throw in the sisters of sigmar and a few other religious groups and probably have them come in with a norsca and burtonian but this is just my idea what do you all think?
2 possible names for The Gunners..... Von Draken 1st and 2nd Rifle Battalion.
lore tidbit for elspeth... rumors abound about a steamy fling between her and felix!
Gotrek was quoted as saying: "I don't want to know manling, I just don't want to know!"
Wings of sanguinius = Demi griph knights ( any variant )
The Titanic = land ship
Pew pew pew = hand gunners
For your Wizard of Metal the name I like to give him: Michał Sędziwój he was one of the alchemist in Poland research of his , help to find about oxygen. So it will be cool if you will name Hero in this Campaign
16:00 Nuln cannon foundry reduces upkeep for artillery and guns at T3 but not at T5, hope it gets fixed
A thematic army comp for the late game: The Imperial Engineers, 2x hellstorm, 2x great cannon, 3x hellblaster volley guns, 1 steamtank, 2 imperial engineers, 4 gunnery units, 2 pistoleers, 2 outriders w/ grenade, Elsbeth, and the Ror spearmen that give bodyguard to artillery as the only melee infantry. Blast everything to bits before they reach you!
For some Nuln Ironsides "The Long Arm of The Emperor"
I suggest Tim the Powder Mage, and also recommend the Powder Mage book series by Brian McClellan whilst I'm at it.
Tim the Gun enchanter
Any artillery unit name suggestion: The Hochland Howitzers
I just like the vague name of Engtimneer, he doesn’t have a first name he just appeared in the gun school one day
Ironsides name: BANG: Dirt be Gone
Dark Lady's Organ= Hellstorm Rocket Battery
Music instrument that fires rocket missiles to vampires sound thematic
May Morr and Sigmar guide you, Lord GothHeart! 🖤🖤🖤🪦🥀
Elspsth von Draken has been a protector of the Empire for three generations, with endless local legends told by children in Nuln of the Graveyard Rose to scare each other, but despite her terrifying aspect and gloomy demeanor she has always been a very ardent defender of the Empire.
Highly independent (an oddity for Imperial Mages, especially for a full majestrix), her terrifying reputation often attracts Witch Hunters with more zeal than common sense, who deem the tales about her to paint her as a threat.
Unfortunately for them, in addition to being quite possibly the most powerful and battle-tested practitioner of Shyish the Empire has, she is also a rarity for an Imperial Mage in that she also cultivates powerful political connections; Elector Countess Emmanuelle von Liebwietz herself gets on well with her since her defense of Nuln from the Chaos Lord Tamurkhan, and since the Countess herself is no warrior she is perfectly happy to let Elspeth take the reigns and protect her beloved city when she asks, and is equally happy to extend her political influence to drive away hapless Witch Hunters who bite off more then they can chew.
I absolutely LOVE that CA broke up the dlc into separate packs so we can purchase content for races we actually care about. B
Im not sure if this is entirey true but i heard Elspeth may be distantly related to Isabella Von Carstein, which may explain her strong association and obsession with the lore of death.
Why not Tim the Gun Whisperer
Gunnery unit of some kind: Rat Blasters
Tim the engine enchanter
Tim the Powder-Mage
Unit names.
Cavalry - knights
Knights of the Sacred Scythe
Knights of the Red Poppy
Carnation Order
Cavalry - outriders/others
The Silver Bullets
Faster than Death!
Melee infantry
Blades Against the Risen
The Strong-Arm Boys of Nuln
The Foundrymen
Guardians of the Black Garden
Missile Infantry
The Company of the Hat
The 13th Round
The Grey Mountain Striders - Hunters, from the mountain country in the south of the province
Empire General name suggestion: Götz Von Berlichingen
Götz Von Berlichingen was a famous Holy Roman Empire knight who lost his hand from a cannon early in his life. Though losing his hand, Götz refused to step away and fashioned a prosthetic hand that would allow him to carry his sword.
Fun fact: Götz grew in fame through his consistent rivalries with various lords and was also the person who made the term “Kiss my Arse” famous.
“Er aber, sag's ihm, er kann mich im Arsch lecken!” (But he, tell him that, he can lick me in the arse!)
A unit name suggestion: name for a Helstorm rocket battery, Morr’s Scythes
Tears Of The Empire - fire rain rockets
My first time playing Elsepth this morning and every battle i accidently blasted my spearmen in the back with my rocket battery 10/10
A unit-name-suggestion: Spearmen called "Thorns of the Graveyard Rose"
Tim Kerer for the engineer's name
master's of the pointy sticks
Name suggestions: one of the original spear units could be The Rose's Thorns
So Elspeth had an Alliance with a few reputable Old World factions, has an Alliance with the Elector Countess of Nuln. Also she has a close alliance with the Cult of Morr (Old World God of Death). Apparently an alliance with Balthasar Gelt is a bad plan because lore wise he doesnt trust her.... and Volkmar won't like her as she worships the wrong God.
Name suggestions
General of the Empire: Theodore Bruckner, the Countess of Nulns Personal Judicar.
Empire Knightly Orders:
The Augers
The Order of the Shroud
Black Guards of Morr
Master Engineers Names:
Ray Theon
North Grumman
General Dynamic
