I just love how a explorer is called "Lost Erikson"

I hear Albion's slogan is "We're not norsca we swear."

Curious Geezer...Julius Ceaser (who lead a brief invasion of Celtic Brittan) Giants named Bollocks and Mighty Dong. Gotta love old fluff

Hey dude just wanted to stop by to tell you we all totally adore your content and appreciate you beeing here! Im going to procede watching your lore now! Stay safe and keep going!

Because this faction is tied into the Old Ones so much, it makes their story the ripest for development. But my greatest interest is how much they involve the giants. The giants have the saddest story in the entire Warhammer setting. They were just existing all on their own, in solitude. Then the ogres popped up and cast down their society, by no virtue other than being willing to send so many of themselves to their deaths. Now the vast, vast majority of all the giants are dead, and the ogres smash their society into scraps. All the remaining giants are some combination of inbred, deformed, retarded and alcoholic. They're fated to be either slaves or canon fodder. If Albion really does sustain a population of giants, then it's the last chance for giants to have any kind of future, home or family. I'd gladly take up arms to save that.

Seeing how GW seems to let Creative Assembly get, well, creative (wink wink) with Norsca, it wouldn't be surprising to see Albion as a dlc faction in the 2nd game. I see many reasons. 1- The lack of major human factions in the New World map (Araby, norscan raiders, estalian conquistadores...) 2- A particular event in game 1 (the mysterious stranger from the lands of Albion), which may indicate it as a potential faction or place to conquer 3- There's not that many races left to make dlcs. They'll probably want to get creative, seeing how well the games and dlcs are selling 4- It's a place full of mysteries, an human faction with a very different vibe (somewhere between the Empire, Bretonnia and Norsa), different monsters and strong magic 5- The geography. Due to it's place between Norsca and Ulthuan, it would be something of a buffer state that would bring balance in the game. I really hope to see it on the campaign map when the game releases, maybe shrouded in the same form as Athel Loren was in game 1.

"Isle of Wights" "Here be Wales" Lol.

I got an Albion Online commercial before this and thought I got rick-rolled or something

I feel like a little kid and my dad is telling me a story lol. You have great passion when you talk about Warhammer, keep it up man.

Can you please make a video or 2 showing off all the scrapped/discontinued armies, races, units and magic lores such as the Pygmies, Fimir, Zoats, Lore of Athel Loren and etcetera as I would love to learn all about warhammers history and I really enjoy the way you do your videos that is why I'm suggesting it to you :) I hope you make a video like that as it would be pretty awesome and it could give ideas to what units might and or could randomly be added to any of the official army's

Funny thing that the fimir actually have been confirmed haha what a coincidence

Good one, hadn't even heard of this island before. Still learning as much as I can about the universe of Warhammer. Thanks for this one!

What I'd like to see is rogue armies that spawn in Albion whose general is either a truthsayer or a dark emissary and they constantly fight each other. When you did a certain event on Albion you'd be given the option to recruit Either truthsayer or dark emissary lords from cities inside Albion and then you'd have a series of mini quests where you either destroy or protect the ruins culminating in a battle involving Belakor. The reward for this quest would be some Karak Eight Peaks level buff to units recruited from Albion and a massive buff to truthsayers/dark emissaries.

I would genuinly pay $20 to play as Albion. They sound like a really interesting faction like Norsca but with more magic.

Great videos man, I have seen almost all warhammer lore videos. Thank you for taking the time and dedication to do this. Cheers

I am glad you have returned!

Good lord, I've been waiting for this for a long time! Thanks

Loved this. Nobody ever talks about Albion

This could defiantly be a dlc for the second game especially with nosca in the works now. Belkor, the fimir(who want to be part of chaos again so they follow Belkor), and corrupted priests (subfaction 1) could fight the Mage mercenary and the druids with giants (subfaction 2) and both sides could have Albion warriors which would be similar to norscan troops (CA would have to flesh out the roster a bit) but with ward saves and magical damage on all units and the faction strength would be magic and melee. once one faction conquers the other they could recruit the other faction's troops (the fimir give up and work as mercenaries for the druids and the giants and druids become corrupted) then each side makes a play for the great vortex after which archeon shows up with a chaos host to stop the druids or punish Belkore. The island would be covered in mists causing massive attrition and bad naval events at sea. The Dlc could be called "The Daemon and the Druid." In theory anyway...

Hey thanks alot for putting the time and effort to make this video. Because of you I found my new favorite faction. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE GIANTS!!!!

Honestly bro. You deliver the lore the very very best out of all ive seen and ive seen a lot of different lore videos channels based on warhammer fantasy. No one does it better.

The older version of Albion was far more interesting. Don't get me wrong love the Celtic late bronze age vibe; but the older version took in some concepts from Arthurian legends as well as some Irish, Welsh and Scottish mythology. It was more interesting than the current.

Marrying Ogre Kingdoms and Albion lore it is logical to asume that those giants created by the old ones were the species known as sky titans, with a small portion of their population having been present on Albion. I mean the Sky Titans were kind of advanced. They had cannons and there's no real indication they learned that from dwarfs like the humans iirc.

another possible minor faction dlc

Curious Giza is Julia's Caesar, literally even the syllables of their names sound the same

Curious Geezer? Oh Julius Caesar.

Ogham is an Irish word for an ancient writing system (and also the name of a God of writing who supposedly invented it). Not sure if your pronunciation was the "official" one for WH, but in Irish, the G is not pronounced. It would be said closer to "oh um". It's frequent in Irish for letters to get "eclipsed" by an H that comes after them.

oh and a lizardman jungle is there and a temple city that they are building

You guys think they'll add Albion in Warhammer 3? EDIT= Albion does sound a lot like ancient British Isles, I hope they do add them to Warhammer that'd be awesome. Do they have an army in the table top game? I mean I don't think that would stop CA from adding Albion necessarily either though they could fill in any units that they don't have.

obviously a reference to Fionn Mac Cumhaill and that dirty scott

I would for the Roman style Tileans to be in the game.

good idea, they made norsca a faction, they can do albion and nippon aswell

I just finished reading Gotrek & Felix's Giantslayer so this is a timely lore video!

Nice video !

great video

How fitting I get an ad for Albion online before watching this video

Britain (well Albion)my homeland in warhammer! Want it! Need it!

Yes, could be a great mini campaign, where all factions fight for control of Albion.

There is a fan produced army list out there with more units and more detail. Cavalry, celtic chariots, sidhe, centaurs and pixie swarms. A few other fun bits and pieces. We have seen creative assembly use these fan army list elements already with a few units in the Norsican army being similar to fan lore but not in the main army lists.

By the way great videos

nice storytelling.

Love to see all this little factions like this one , amazons, ... to make a playable faction in TWW, if you see what CA can do with Norsca DLC, I have no doubt they can do something great with this factions to

that was a pretty epic "bo-locks" intro.

Dark emissaries already have an appearance in tww, as an event where they offer money in exchange for chaos corruption. Probably would have been worth mentioning.

Fucking great lore video and on a little known faction! Hopefully you'll do Tilea and or Estalia next! OH, or maybe the Border Princes?! 👍🐴

Are you going to do more empire provinces and Bretonnian dukedoms?

Curious Geezer Julius Caesar har har Games Worksop, very funny

Albion is about as likely to happen as Nippon.

doubt it will be a mini campaign cuz they said they wont do anymore of them and just give more LLs but would be cool if they included in the grande campaign

What do u think about this: every 15 turns or so all giants from your army disappear to simulate gathering on island only to be returned after few turns some of them with damaged health or dead as a result of their" arguing? In return they should have range attack and\or lower price

The tilean general is obviously based on Julius Caesars first failed conquest of the British isles

Can you do The norsca

Inept General, I've still have a few questions to speculate. Would the mist surrounding Albion be similar to the one in Ulthuan? Are the Ogham Stones the same as the High/Wood elf Waystones? Are they still relevant in use, as in, should they be taken down in the current Total War timeline could it affect the Vortex?

can you this type of video but for the ogre kingdom?

General Curious Geezer oh very droll.

Maybe better leadership than Marauders for the Albion warriors.

homestly I hope that total war warhammer series do good enough that CA puts all posible factions in it even if they havent realy been updated/explored in while

I just can't handle that name :D:D:D Curious Geezer :D

Haha was talking about this in my discord not too long ago, was wondering how Albion would work.

Ever thought of posting your videos on the Total War Subreddit? I know a few other Warhammer KZfaqrs do so as well.

if there is Asterix hero in Albion , DAMMMMMM

Would tilea and Estilia basically have the exact same dogs of war roster but with a few unique units each?

WHERE'S KRELL?!

Sorry they are not in the game :( According to the map, Albion is controlled by the Skaelings, a Norsca (non playable faction according to table top) faction and some how took over Albion from the bone grinder giants. Also you forgot to mention the Bone Grinder Giants that they have access to because they are confirmed to live in Albion according to the Monstrous Arcadium.

my ancestors are humans XD mine are hung/kurgan/mung im a mix breed if i was in this world for the chaos gods!

Albion the violent bunch of barbarians but this time with order flavoring.

Lol, Warhammrr making the British comparison to paradise... That aside, isn't that where Rakarth is? I mean it was on the second game... Now I hang around Cathay, so I wouldn't know...

I'd love a Albion DLC but I'm not too sure they will be in TWW3.

I wish this had been the dlc

man wonder who this curious geyser guy is

Stone Henge mystery explained by The Inept General :P BOLLOGS GET ME MY TEA!!!

I always forget about Not England :/

irregardless is not a word, regardless or irrespective, :D

In ancient Greece, the opposite of Chaos was Cosmos (= the order of all things). I made up my own imaginary Albionese culture and army: it's a faction of fascistoid, genocidal human supremacists, who kinda resemble the Victorian English in the way the Empire resembles the Holy Roman Empire, who want to wipe out all non-human sapient races, using riflemen, artillery, air ship bombers, world war I style airplanes and walking tripod fighting machines.

It’s a bit more creative then nippon,but like you can’t just call it the native name with an n on the end.

How did I get unsubscribe from your channel??

First

It's Lupio Sunscryer dammit, unsub I can't believe I ever thought this was a good channel lmao

The more of your videos I watch, the more I see how lazy games workshop is and just rips off real life events.

Oh look another lore video whats this like the 30th one....can you people just link other lore videos instead of trying to be cool and making yet another
