Oh btw one of Hellebron's abilities is broken in the early access patch so that the switch that says "stop applying this drain effect" is actually "keep applying this drain effect for double the length" which makes her insanely OP.

I was wondering why she seemed like such a terror in the early access matches I've been watching.

Milkandcookiestw is always fascinating because of his ability to use a dozen words where one would do. I don't hate the guy and I can get behind people making nerdy lore videos(I actually like watching the thematic battles he does a lot), but I'm not entirely sure a video explaining a bug needs to be 17 minutes long and be prefaced with the unit's lore and tabletop stats.

As a general rule when it comes to monetizing youtube content the longer the video you put up the more money you get. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that this dude's stuff in unnecessarily lengthy.

Yeah. While I appreciate the work that went into figuring out the bug and proving it, this video should have been like 3 minutes long tops. "Here's the bug. Here's how it works. Here's why it probably happened". You don't need 15 minutes of going on about how OP she is. Makes me really miss Maximus Decimus Meridius's breakdown videos.

Gobbo King is one of my favorites. He's a pretty bad speaker(misreads things/forgets names/etc), but he's a fantastic player and often chooses weird unorthodox builds and kicks rear end with them.

So I've been tooling with tww1 before jumping into this new one. However, the drat thing crashes randomly all the time. It can be anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour of game time. Running a laptop (i7-6820 @ 2.7ghz), 16gb ram, with an Nvidia Quadro 620m. Not top of the line but should still run this thing!

Drivers are all updated and I've removed all the nonsense Nvidia includes. Anyone know of a fix or experience similar problems?

I don't know why, but I can't stand listening to him. I love him as an opponent to Turin, Dahv always puts up a good fight but there's just something about the way he talks that puts me off. I guess he sounds kinda sleepy or something.

Turin is really good at explaining things and walking you through what’s happening. He’s a great caster for tournaments and replays. I love his videos. The right amount of energy, jokes, and game knowledge

Gobbo King is really fun to watch because he plays goofy builds while being very talented. He’s got insane micro and understands the mechanics very well. He’s not the best caster in that, yeah he forgets names and doesn’t fill dead space as well as a “YouTube caster” but he’s got a good personality that makes it more like having your buddy who’s good at a game make a video. Basically he’s not objectively the best caster, but to me subjectively he is.

To an extent. If you own both games, Warhammer 2 has the Mortal Empires campaign available, which is like an extended version of the Warhammer 1 campaign map. It's neat, but it has some pretty serious performance issues with turn times. No crashing bugs to my knowledge, but boy oh boy those Mortal Empires turns are long.

I really like all of the Warhams youtube community (Turin, Gobbo, Janet, Dahv, Jontaun, Sotek etc). You can really tell that they're all friends and they bounce well off each other. It's always a good video when they're fighting each other and testing out crazy builds.

Blackiron's tournament also got me into Bloodbowl, and I'm dying to play it when I get the chance.

I should clarify from bringing up Turin, all those players are awesome and I recommend them. Turin’s channel though will include all of them just with Turin’s excellent commentary. He’s great at the game and also the best speaker of the lot.

Ninjahund has lost to Turin a couple of times and calls him a cheese player. He gets supremely salty every time he loses a match and the only fun thing on his stream is his reaction when he loses.

By the way, one of those times Ninjahund lost against Turin was a game where he played Lizardmen Vs Turin's Vampires and brought four Chamaleon Skinks. He's a Cheese mongering as it gets.

Another fun one was when he fought Legend of Total War, knew exactly what army Legend was bringing (because Legend played a singular very strong Bretonnian build) and fell on his face.

Also our own Nanomashoes beat Ninjahund handily in a Chaos Vs Empire match-up back when Chaos was a seriously underpowered faction. Ninja whined that it was unfair Nano had brought a Hellcannon.

What I mean is that Ninjahund's entertainment value comes from him getting real mad and holding an eternal grudge for every battle he loses.

His army build guide is pretty decent though, but Gobbo King's guide is better (and has notes from the other Youtubbers in his clique).

I would be legitimately conflicted watching Legend vs. Ninjahund. Is there a way they can both lose?

Legend was super butthurt that Ninja called him a cheesy player and even made a drama video justifying his build. So yes, they both lost.
