I love how you were like "what would make this campaign better? Ah yes, let me take the dwarf's slayer oath and seek death in glorious battle."

This should seriosuly be canon. A rampaging beastmen carnage climaxing in a final showdown with Skarbrand to decide who is Khorne's favorie, blood-red sky and head-to-head duel with him and multiple bloodthirsters included. Absolutely glorious!

That's actually canon, I think. Taurox fought everyone, everywhere, all the time, until he fought so hard he got a heart attack. Then, since Khorne liked his guts, he got revived with a metal body, so that he's immune to heart attacks.

Taurox looks up at Skarbrand and host of Bloodthristers, his face of perpetual rage giving way to grin. "You defeated me, Champion of the Blood God...with help".

Knowing the lore of taurox, being ultimately defeated by skarbrand is such a poetic and fitting end. The only way to slay one of the blood god's greatest champions is with another of the blood god's greatest champions.

Taurox is such a monster of a character. I remember one fight against elves that should've been a defeat. Lost everyone, but Taurox against a full stack and somehow he won by himself.

That was fantastic. Beautiful. A beefy campaign with a heroic end. Alas.. I have to highlight two things. 1. You were lucky messing up with Nurgle. Imagine what mad cow disease could have done to your army. The gods were on your side. 2. You missed a HUGE opportunity. Michael Johnson? Juan? Uncle Bernard? THEY WERE ALL MEANT TO BE COWBOYS!! Had they been Buffalo Bill, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, this would've been perfect. Weirdest cow level from Diablo 2, but for sure fun. Cheers Zerk!

13:38 So your Minotaurs have become Slayers. Nice.

I have tears rolling down my face at his bits over the names

This is now my headcannon for when Skarbrand gets one of those random events where he can either duel the doom bull or kill his minotaurs

4:25 I always love the way you bring real life tactics into your campaigns.

Full Minobus is the only proper way to play Taurox. Or well, it's always very strong as any beastmen faction(though for the other LL's you might just get a doombull instead for your full cow stack instead), but the other lords have other shenanigans that might make your endgame different (Morghur for the monster/spawn doomstacks or lord only doomstack, Khazrak for the full vanguard infantry/chariot ambush strike force, etc.), but more importantly it is fun. I never get tired of minotaurs rolling through infantry blobs.

@monochromaticspider

4 ай бұрын

Khazrak is usually always a wargor spam stack for me. Having a whole bunch of single entity chariots is so much fun. Not really optimal for dueling single entities, but infantry just melts and it's not like cavalry has the stats to really deal with that many single entities either.

That intro clip is perfection, at first you think he got launched into them, then it’s hmm He is charging into them but no he just decided to leap into the enemy and do a roll because he can.

You have the makings of a Slayer. A Slayer only playthrough that is. Seek death!

This video has everything a good Total War: Warhammer video needs. Elf pain and suffering. Elf humiliation and defeat. And elf multiple deaths.

You should name Juan to the Everchosen, so he can be the chosen Juan.

only what made the unstoppable cow could unmake it, poetic

I'd love to see a Lizardmen Missile Monsters only campaign, personally. It would be very vulnerable but very powerful, especially if he allowed heroes/lords on mounts. I just want to watch someone more capable use the skirmisher missile lizards so I can learn from their ways tbh, the firespitters and armor-piercing spike throwers are cool but they feel like they fall off hard in the long game.

Great work - love the names and the commentary - masterful stuff

the effort you take for this video just perfect and your humour is astounding, you gained new subscriber.

Tomb kings only monsters, the statue army

2:20 moment of silence for my welsh homies out there named Aafwub

This was almost poetic

I played this army gimmick in TWW2 and single-handedly destroyed the entire Dark Elf Faction, the entirety of Ulthwe, and half of Bretonnia with no issues at all. It's INSANELY strong. Taurox with minotaurs is underappreciated and, I'll be honest, overpowered.

The glee in "everybody's fucked!" gave me quite the giggle.

Very cool video! Always enjoy your content!

“For you, Taurox, the day Khorne destroyed your army and ended your streak was the most important day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday,” -Skarbrand

I like how your rampage almost circumnavigated the entire world.

I love a good taurox campaign! I always work towards a Minotaur/Gorgon/Cygor stack with him and nothing but bows in any other armies but I’ve never done it with JUST Minotaurs along the way

Skaarbrand knows his work the best xD

"the sisters of... stupid fucking elves or whatever their called..." - Zerkovich That's indeed what they are called, sir.

F Edit: could you do a campaign where you try to get all the unique herdstones? If I recall correctly, the oak of ages, lothern, and Riekland (or maybe Middenland) all have unique herdstone buildings. Can you take a look at it?

22:02 a minataur in the back charges, hits a trebuchet, bounces off, and flies away, never to be seen again

Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it flows without cease for all eternity.

Ah yes, I remember the good ol' days. Step 1: Recruit 19 gorebulls with nurgle's stink trait over the course of like 300 rounds Step 2: Win even harder.

Chaos Dwarfs, who worship a monstrous bull god, being destroyed by a tide of unstoppable bullmen is pretty poetic.

One of skarbrands factions strongest doomstacks/armies you could make at all is their minotaur equivalent x18 with an exalted bloodletter and any lord so this is no surprise but still awesome

Hell yeah, brother.

Want more minotaurs for the Beastmen??? Highly recommend the "Banegors and Bloodkines" and "Chaosbulls" mods. Theyre awesome!!! If you play Khorne, i reccomend "Exalted Minotaurs of Khorne" and "Khorgoth the Unleashed".

the new sitcom. Taurox, big phil and michael johnsons shenanigans.

'The sisters of stupid fucking elves or whatever they're called' made me lol that's exactly how I narrate my gameplay

13:51 So you essentially made Beastmen slayers

Slayer minotaurs is a great story arc

As another cow from another game would say: "You can't milk those!" And also: "STAMPEDE!!!"

Taurox in this campaign is just like Kaidou from One Piece, he can't be defeated no matter how much he tries.

I have an Uncle Bernard, can confirm: Is Beefy

We've done Bears, we've done Beef. Next, Rattlestar Galactica?

" More elves this is the best campaign I've ever played" !!! The elven faction felt that.

the amount of elf hatred is very based and warranted
