build entire army out of snot-lings place in loose formatting you cant out flank me if i am on the entire battle field

I remember when goblin wolf riders had a movement of 9 faster than the average horse.

Nothing like rewatching old lore videos

The Orc-Army drinking game: every time you hear the word "charge" yell "CHARGE!" (in your best Orcish) and take a shot.

Well... According to the guidebook the Arachnarok spider in it´s natural habitat hunts down Giants and Cygors so in my opinion it made sence for the game to make it one of the most powerfull units in the entire game..

i demand that orc "catapults" have the ability to use orc boys as ammunition.

After the King and the Warlord announcment I just had to look for this again. Cuz Squigs.

No, on table top wolves are fast. IRL wolves hunt by chasing something until it drops from exhaustion; pretty much the cold weather equivalent of human persistence hunters,

Actually, the snotlings are a bit more useful than you seem to think, you failed to mention their one redeeming feature (aside from being dead cheap)... They are Unbreakable. They will not break and flee no matter how badly they lose in combat because apparently they are just so stupid and get so frenzied with adrenaline that they fail to realize the danger they're in. Which actually makes them very GOOD speedbumps. If you end up managing to get your Black Orc unit the opportunity to charge into the flank of an expensive unit that was silly enough to engage (or be engaged by) the snotlings those little buggers can actually pay for themselves very quickly without actually doing any killing of their own.

Thank you very much for your content. Pressing like button crazy. Playing Total War. Napoleon and listening to your vids.

to keep in line With the tabletop the Black Orcs are master of arms or something, so they can choose at the start of each combat round choppas or great weapons instead of two seperate units it should be a "ability" where they can choose weapons at any point in game.

I actually used Big Uns with spears back in 6th and 7th edition. Worked wonderfully.

BOAR BOYZ! BOAR BOYZ! BOAR BOYS! That was a Mad Max reference.

What if instead of a stamina meter, orcs had a animosity meter? The more you push them, the more annoyed and or animosity they get. Idk, just an idea.

26:00 Could also have it so that instead of taking damage, a unit could have a "poison meter". The more it fills up, the more it gets debilitated from it (losing strength, speed and initiative from the effects of the poison).

So Arch. At this point in time could we get a video of you going over each race that they have done (with DLC) and get your opinion on how well they managed to mix the tabletop rules with the needs for a balanced game?

Wow, I hardly realized I have been watching arch for 7+ years now

One of the main issues with cannonfodder units in Total War is that your armies are limited to 20 units, which means that you'll often find yourself favoring quality over quantity simply because you can't bring every available unit. And using cannonfodder units is every really going to become practical when elite units are rare, expensive and not numerous. Attila did solve this somewhat, by enabling you to control two armies in battle, which made me often bring a mercenary army alongside my real army to soak up the damage and do the dying in battles and sieges :P

I love how you narrate this video like a posh nancy, but then I realize you are talking about Ork Boyz. Such a contrast cracks me up for way too long. Love your definition of a Squiq btw.

They could put in the snotlings more as a accessories to orcs. Having them amongs and on the orcs but not actually as a fighting force.

You forgot the wyvern

Great channel. I have never played WFB, but instead i used to be game master for WFRP. Your knowledge is huge and I enjoy your videos.

Actually one of the most important things you mis-represented was the choppas rule, it does not give Orcs +1 strength on the charge it gives every single Orc, be it Black orc, Savage Orc, Warboss, Shaman, anything, +1 strength in the first round of combat, just like morning stars.

5:19 that is an amazing squabble diorama.

19:02 "dumb 'umans, i''s no' abou' bein accura'e, i''s abou' 'icklin 'ha' i'ch ov fillin someone wi'h sharp an' poin' objec's." Passionate Ork "Bowork"

Dis is a WAAAAGH all gud and proper me got da boyz nd da squigz an we gon ave a right bloody mess

I love your videos mate, are very informative and well made! Keep going!

I love these vids mate, just getting back into warhammer now!

I'd probably implement snotlings like this: They come in incredible numbers quite like you said, 240 models, each model consitsing of 2-5 snotlings. I'd give them almost no resistance to melee, but a quite high resistance to ranged attacks (excluding artillery). Why the resistance against ranged? Well, 120 Arrows can kill a maximum of 120 Snotlings. But there are simply a whole damn lot of snotlings that just stupidly keep on charging although i'd probably include a special rule that gives them a chance to just flee when more than 75% are killed because they are little cowards. But when they actualy reach their target they commence their attack. Of course they have little to no damage potential, but they are a pretty good distraction. I'd implement that as some kind of debuff or making the unit they are "attacking" unable to do anything else but killing the little fuckers which should go pretty quickly since they just have litle to no resistance. And while the enemy unit so thus distracted i can make full use of my shocktroops.

maybe anamosity can be active only when orcs are standing still , to prevent them from being defensive too

bigg'uns; the more fights you have with your armies, the more you're able to recruit. like 1 or 2 units per battle.

Just BINGE re playing, commenting and liking (after the hack) ..

I've started watching your videos after I stumbled on the THFE channel and got to say I love them. I really didn't know much about the warhammer universe. For example orcs always struck me as just stupid and bland, uninteresting. After your lore and unit presentation they strike me as even more stupid, but boy do they look interesting now! And they grow out of... spores? They can tuck on severed limbs with... nails and a hammer? Very interesting indeed :D

For the orc arrer boyz, i've always pictured them as being wildly inaccurate, but hard hitting, as with their size and strength they would be able to fire arrows the size of small spears at considerable speed,so i agree with the low accuracy, but i think their damage should be significant

Really hope the Ork economy ukpeep is symbolized by teeths as in the fluff instead of coins.

Its so fun to watch thous after game is already out.

Ah, old Arch, before the dark times...

I have not played table top warhammer in a long time, but i hope they still have night goblin fanatics, and put them in total war, they can make a cannon fodder unit in to a real threat to even Chaos knights. i only mention thm because i dont think you mentiond them. but nicely made video's, i just meant to Watch one, and now 4 hours have gone ;-) so nice job.

Units in total war don't listen half the time and there is a lot of friendly fire too :b

Pretty sure my first play through of Total Warhammer will be with the Orcs. It'll just be great massing up and hitting my enemy with the never ending green tide.

28:40 Except against Dragon Company and quarrelers apparently... Why Radius?

8:27 That's a flint napping impossibility, that axe blade

snotlings = speedbumbs XD too fucking funny

9 minutes and 30 seconds, that moment where this guy forgets the going berserk mechanic which is at best literally a thousand times more perfect for what he's describing, and at least has its place next to may charge without orders in the ability list

dude that total war idea is good I hope they do it exactly that way

Orcs and goblins have less named hero characters in warhammer fantasy compared to the other races?

Now i know what to do in seiges, hold your main infantry back, send in your flying units and spiders first, use your flying units to screen your spiders, then do as much damage as possible in a quick first strike, and then after that has finished, send in your main infantry to finish off what's left of the defenders, and use your skirmishers to shoot them

Welcome back!

Snotlings - The little Greenskins that wish they could, attempt, and if Gork or Mork feel like being nice, will reward them with a little bit of success before sending them into a wall of sharp bits for pure "fun" reasoning.

Dwarves offered me peace....Bwahahahahahahaha! WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

i really hope they implement those things in the game and dont just get scared by the pure complexity of the warhammer universe. you said before the orcs dont feel pain and dont get tired but get more enraged the longer the battle goes. would be nice to see this in the game too if its not too op. by watching your video i was thinking if the game designers know this video and the others. they would have much less work and could make a much better game. are there any forums were the comunity can discuss such things with the gamemakers?

What if the snotling pump wagon was an early game chariot. It wouldn't be good but it would be ok for early game

God I cant even get into total war attila anymore :( I just wanna play this game so friggen bad!!

Man you sure Love the Word: umpfh

FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!

One of my favorite factions, once again a god video, I hope you do the lizardmen too soon and then my dreams will come true. Oh also, not a criticism more a pointer, what you have been spelling as 'unites' is spelt as 'units'.

Snotlings could have been a Fell Bats kind of unit that is extremely weak/extremely hard to hit, just to tie up siege wall defenders. ACTUALLY a good thing would be having them as one of the things you build during a siege along with the ram and siege tower, that way they wouldn't be so burdensome taking up a whole army slot.

NICE

The sub-generals or the animosity thing can be represented by units with morale aura around them just like it has always been with other TW games.

watching these videos after ttw 3 just shows how badly CA and GW drooped the ball with the games

Dude wolves are endurance hunters they run down tire out and kill so what you mean can’t keep up with bourses yea they are slower but they can run longer

I thought black orcs were a breed created by the chaos dwarves

Would you do this for warhammer 40k orks?

Hey arch i know this videos are old but just wanted to say you may want to specify when you are talking about the cannon and when you are just making your opinion/theory to not confuse people that dont know much about the lore. (like when you talked about black orcs)

So Orks play like Kingdom under fire?

Snotlings just could be extra huge unit, say 600 soldiers that is extra cheap. That way it would be worth having.

I really don't mean to be critical, But I watched the whole video and it seems like you mainly foccused on High charge in almost every single unit. Although this meant support the lore, I think there should be a bit of stat diversity.

i miss the background music...

2:28 Beating one grot with another grot.

I love orcs but 8th edition made them not great in melee for a race that's supposedly love to fight in melee. Their core units are fine and cheap in melee but you won't realistically win a game with their melee infantry units in 8th Edition and WAP. Both editions have a sad take on this army were their best unit were goblins war machines and chariots + one unit of savage orcs big uns (the only melee unit worthwhile).

Where is the rest of the link?

Didn´t you miss the Giant Squit?

hawe you herd of the ninthe age

I miss warhammer...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH?

I have to admit playing Rome Total war, I don't have much happy memories of dealing with chariots though playing as Britons chariots are crap for some reason as my general have a tendency to get killed after charging in.

My only fear is that they won't make 3-400 man units. If they don't, so many things will be irrelevant and unnecessary.

Could you remake or atleast go more indepth in newer videos ?

snotling iz best

you sound like a totally different person here

I like the orks in warhammer but they never seem to be good for anything exept eating my bullets and spears.

So, I'm confused. I've heard that 'black orcs' are simply what regular Orcs become if they get old enough and big enough; i.e. like in this video it is said Big 'Uns are Orcs on their way to becoming black orcs. But I've also heard black orcs were an artificial creation by the Chaos Dwarves. In fact, I'm quite certain it's accepted lore that the whole Grimgor-Chaos Dwarf slave rebellion-Hobgoblin thing came about when the black orcs the Chaos Dwarves made turned out to be too smart and too strong to stay in captivity and yeeted some stunties into volcanoes on their way out when they decided to stop being slaves. So. Is it not correct an old and tough Orc can eventually become a Black Orc? Are both true, where Black Orcs can be both natural and Chaos Dwarf made? Or is this just one of those conflicting points of lore where one thing is explained as happening in two completely different ways?

I wonder, what did you actually think of this game?

Hope this helps your channel

Start doing some dnd stuff like what the shadows is and how to get and play there

19:45 Why is there an orc hitting an other ??

You've really have labeled that the orks should be a shock army more than anything, destroying moral more than destroying men. Doesn't this go against the Ork culture? If they make the army the way you say, then ork players would have to be quick, aggressive, and overwhelming than simply strong combatants. They're moral should be some of the strongest in the game and improve when in melee and decrease when out of melee. They should be weak against archer fire, but strong against melee damage. They're calvary advantage should be weak, but all of their units should have very powerful charges. And finally their units should consist of more orks/goblins than other units of the same type. heh, I guess they are a moral breaker army than a killing army, but for some reason that just feels....wrong.

Arch I love your videos, but you're really annoying with fucking prices, who cares how rare and expensive some of the units are supposed to be? what about how powerful and useful they would be in the battlefield?

Hey arch i know this videos are old but just wanted to say you may want to specify when you are talking about the cannon and when you are just making your opinion/theory to not confuse people that dont know much about the lore. (like when you talked about black orcs)
