The big horned wood elf guy with hooves is Orion, he's a kind of god-figure who is an incarnation of the Athel Loren forest. Every winter, he must die and is burned on a pyre, and every spring, a wood elf nobel is chosen to be transformed into the new incarnation of Orion, in the Oak of Ages, so basically a sacrifice. So it's a lot like the Avatar of Khaine in Warhammer 40k.

To give you extra context, he's the avatar of Kurnous, the elven god of the hunt. Khaine is the elven god of war, and On another wood elf trailer, Ariel is the Avatar of Isha, the elven goddess of nature.

Technicaly and I mean super technicaly, there are 4 kinds of elves. High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves and Sea Elves. However the Sea Elves really aren't...that different, in fact they're not even their own thing. They're just a High Elf on Ulthuan who's sailing alot and knows more about sailing than basically anything else.

There are only two races of elves, these are... let's just say... the primordial elves, well, the Azrai(Wood Elves) . The fact is that Drukhii (dark elves) and Asuras (high elves) are one and the same race, just when it split into two warring political camps, due to a civil war. Initially, the high elves and dark elves even had the same culture, and then the dark elves had their own language, architecture and culture in general (while they still believe in the same gods that the high elves believe in)... Well, the sea elves are just a branch of the high elves. If we call them a separate race, then the elves of Laurelorn and the elves of the southern colonies (Tor Elazor, the Fortress of Dawn, the Citadel of Twilight.) should be called a separate race... (I apologize for mistakes and nonsense if there are any. I don’t write in English myself and I use an auto-translator. And as we know, an auto-translator often translates the text very ... crookedly ... especially from Russian, which I speak ...)

Unicorns are certainly mythical creatures, there are plenty that lack wings.

The greenskins have wyverns, smaller than dragons, marginally weaker, can't breathe fire, but a helluva lot meaner. Orc warbosses typically ride them as mounts or tame them as beasts of war.

The viking badass once loudly boasted than he could take anyone in the world one on one. The chaos gods took interest, and cursed him to travel the world until he can prove it. They also gave him magical power to insult people in any language, so he can always start a fight.

"there is no way an orc army is gonna be lead by a goblin"

A wingless gryphon is a protoceratops. The ancients dug up dinosaur fossils just like us, they just didn't know what it was.

Bit of a correction here. Skarsnik is no MERE goblin.

Honestly Bretonnia was such a cool update, it being a free update to a faction we weren't able to play, everyone who owned the first game just got access to Bretonnia for free, and it's such a good faction too with great cavalry units for those who enjoy a hammer and anvil playstyle with heavy micro managing

With the orcs, there's warboss size, black orc size, then there's GRIMGOR size.

24:44 Norscans! Vikings.. Who worship Chaos. Not like any others.. Just like the norse pantheon, but with animals for the Dark Gods.. Sort of like the beastmen. They are vikings. Thats it. They were the first humans to worship the dark gods, at first. Unknowingly. Still to this day many dont know them as Khorne, Slannesh, etc. They have their own unique but very similar styles. The Dark Gods whispered to many human tribes at the beginning of human civilization, and during the rise of Sigmar. They were part of a loose confederation of the rising human empire, but rebelled. And they got clapped, got sent running up north where no sane mortal men dare to dwell.. They are still humans in every aspect, but are genetically.. taller. Not by the dark gods tampering. Selective breeding, lots of slave women to breed.. And in some cases, lots of incest. I believe this is.. Wulfric the Wanderer. He basically asked the Dark Gods for power and they said "Go slay the strongest of everything in the world, nerd." And hes forever immortal by age. He is to travel the world in a never ending trophy hunt to slay the strongest dragons, champions of the gods. But he's not able to, its a giant punishment and prank by the Dark Gods, watching him suffer and slave snd torture himself to prove his worth to them. Had to fight a literal shit eatin' monster in a lagoon of feces and urine. Got swollowed. Guttes it from the inside.. and went out its rear end. This guy has one of the worst lives in WH fantasy

33:17 Karak Eight Peaks is like Moria of Warhammer world. In the lore there are three forces fighting for it. There is a small expedition of dwarves trying to retake the city for their king. They are trapped there by Skarsnik, the infamously cunning goblin warlord who controls both the mountain and the trails around it. And the deep tunnels underneath are overrun by skaven of Queek Headtaker. (fortunately, no Balrog )

I mean, the beastmen can square up with anybody if you play it right. Cygors, ghorgons, hordes of Gors and ungors, it works.

A hippogriff does have wings. A hippogriff is an animal with a bird front but a horse back with wings like Buckbeak from Harry Potter. The term you are thinking of is demigryph which is a griffon with no wings.

12:16 Grimgor Ironhide.. he's not a normal ork warboss. He's a black ork. These orks were captured, tortured and modified by Chaos Dwarves. (Dwarves that were corrupted by a Chaos demon/God. Not the top four ones, he's.. different.) And infused with chaos to be much, much stronger. Taller. And smarter. And they were enslaved by the Chaos dwarves for centuries till they rebelled, and broke away. Plenty still are slaves, but whenever black orks show up at any tribe. They always take control, since barley any ork can stand up to 'em. By muscle or by wit. Black orks have the right proper cunning in able to lie, and convince orks and goblins to turn on their boss, causing a small civil war. And they choose a side, most of the time. Fighting with the ork boss to kill the rebels.. Then immediately turn and and kill the boss once the fightin' done. But they all, since they are smarter. See themselves above their kind, and see distane. And they seemingly hate their cousins, but a black ork has this weird code. They never kill other black orks. Unless they absolutely have too, but typically they refuse to fight. They'll either group up and kill one side, kill the others. Or just run away from a fight. Forming their own group. Grimgor Ironhide.. Is the biggest black ork out there, on par with an ogre in some descriptions. Hes one of the more infamous of the orks, he does not care about any one of his kind. He gladly kills his own and will sacrifice his kind without any problems. He's known to when battles go south and he's about to lose, to just break out of his encirclement. (As he is always in the middle of fights.) And just leave his horde to be destroyed. He's also the most bloodthirsty of all of the Orks. Once his blood gets literally boiling, his rage is unsatiable. I'm unsure if this is retconned, but abit of a spoiler. This guy Grimgor was brought to the end of the world, where the worlds strongest warriors and champions fought. And he went up against Chaos's champion. The Everchosen. The 13th. Archeon. He started getting absolutely walloped by Archeon, whos so better experienced in traint combat and more.. Discipline. And his gear is nigh destructable. As it was forged by the Chaos gods themselves, in the warp. For their first ever champion of Chaos. Grimgor kicks Archeon in the nuts so far up inside of him, he turnt Archeon into a uneche. Then proceeded to headbutt Archeon, breaking the Eye, the helmet of the everchosen. Smashing it and Archeons skull, and due to the power of the wagghh burning in Grimgors soul, the greenskins psionic power defused.. enveloped.. And eradicted the Chaos relic. After brutally making strawberry jam with Archeon's brain pan, Grimgor just got up and walked off, going into the world to start up a new wagh horde.

Now chaos dwarfs are pretty much the main manufactirer of all chaos top tier equipment (minus the equipment forged by demons ofc) and unlike normal dwarfs they can cast magic, but it requires such mutilation of their original nature that their bodies will inevitably turn to stone the longer they use magic (and it's irreversible and is both a blessing and a curse since on one side, it makes them more durable,om the other, they are doomed to slowly turn into living immobile statues).

A wingless griffon is a hippogriff, and yes it is a thing in mythology. Of course, they do have wings in mythology and other media, and the only difference between a griffon and hippogriff is that the former is part lion while the latter is part horse. They don't have wings in Warhammer most likely to balance the game. They are the top tier cavalry unit of the Empire, so you can imagine why giving them Flight too is probably unfair.

I think people need to stop whining about it. It's sold separately due to market technicalities, you simply get more reach if you're able to market the game as pegi 16 than as pegi 18. Making the blood sold separately solves this issue, it lets CA have their age rating cake and eat it too. Asking CA not to do this is just asking them to go against their market interests as a company, and it is bad for the consumer, if what you want is a game with a large player base, because the larger the player base, the more profitable it will be for CA to keep making DLC to add content and prolong the supported lifespan of the game.

Its why Chaos completely ruins the north, with ice, snow and fire. That and because the literal void of space is open and its cold. But the wood elves over genetic drift, have sharper senses then their cousins. Better eyes, ears, smell. And are much more physically stronger, but less numerous. And all the more annoying to fight, with their animal companions of all kinds. They shrug off manufactoring homes, forging weapons from metal. They cultivate tree's whos bark, branches and leaves are pretty much like steel. Using druidic magic to grow weapons and patching dried bark to make armor. They also dont grow crops, they hunt wild game. And forage. They also (argueably. Many people have their own thoughts.) Eat people. They are survivors, hunters.
