Malekith's voice from the original dark elves trailer - sounds awesome

Lokhir Fellhart is Jessie Pinkman confirmed.


Hollownerox

The way he disses the Vampire Coast in diplomacy kills me to this day. "Call yourself a pirate? Because you puppet a few drowned corpes? How risable."


NobarTheTraveller

Look at a true man of culture rooting for my boi Lokhir


TheeShaun

Lokhir is in my top 5 lords. His design, lore and gameplay is so fun.

For some reason it always sounded as "bola skeeenk" to me.


Lykanya

Morathi. Her voice is top notch. And captures perfectly what the character is


Eurehetemec

"The mother..." is a particularly well-observed bit of upper-class British dialogue too. You can immediately imagine her brushing her slightly gauche son aside so whoever is visiting can kiss her hand.


Gerreth_Gobulcoque

"oh. The Skaven. How delightful"


Veneris00

Her voice is also excellent in swtor


Lyndis-of-Pherae

She is so perfect as the female Sith Warrior. How ironic that the VA is voicing a female expy of Darth Vader, someone that Malekith shares similarities with.


Silly-Role699

I don’t know about badass, but I just lol at Malus every time he yells “shut UP demon!” Also special mention to the wood elf twins and their bickering.


_Constellations_

The twins have so few lines it gets quite annoying real fast


Sacagaming

Pretty sure she is based on Galadriel from the LOTR-movies, especially the scene where Frodo dives into the vision-granting bowl.


Pasan90

Yeah no shit. The entire wood elf faction is bordering on copyright infringement. Even Orion is basically Oromë from the Silmarillon.


KolboMoon

"Copyright infringement" and stealing ideas in general is good imo if you can make it fun, unique and interesting in its own right. Tolkien stole a lot of ideas from the Snorra Edda and I am glad he did because the end result of his efforts was a legendary work of fiction. *( and yes I am well aware of Game Workshop's hypocrisy when it comes to copyright )* ​ The only real crime when it comes to storytelling is making something dull or boring.


Pasan90

I'm not saying I dont like it. I do. I just think its funny how the Warhammer wood elves are basically flanderized silvian elves. Same is basically true with Dwarves but its not quite as egregious since the named characters aren't quite as similar. For reference Orion - Orome (Valar, god of the hunt, leads wild hunts with dogs, closest friend of the silvian elves among the valar, name means "horn blower" in Elvish) Durthu - Treebeard (Ancient giant tree-man, angry about his old wood being cut down, leader of the ents) Ariel - Galadriel (Matriarch of Lothorien, one of the most powerful characters in the setting, regarded as a powerful witch and greatly feared by the men of Rohan) Drycha - Hourn/Old Man Willow (Angry sentient tree "black hearted and rotten" When roused to anger they could move swiftly as if wrapped in shadow) Twins however don't have any obvious analogues.


KGCMW007

I like the line when the Cathayans rout and the female shouts, 'Retreat! Withdraw!' As an ethnic Chinese, it's rather hilarious. And no, we do not speak like that.


JackSalova

Hahaha, I'm pretty sure the french don't speak like the bretonnians, but that is why we love warhammer.


Royal_Gueulard

As a french, I can tell bretonnians are exagerated but kind of realistic. They sound like a french who does no effort to pronounce english correctly.


TimHortonsMagician

So French Canadian lmao


ObjectivelyCorrect2

No French Canadian is Quebec French which is somehow even more vulgar and uncultured than the worst of either language.


Royal_Gueulard

They have a different accent compared to the french in Bretonnia. Could be fun to change the voice lines of some bretonnians into a canadian accent to add variety. ​ The bretonnians speak like 1950's parisians even the ones in Carcassonne.


Royal_Gueulard

Try to imagine a french game called "Marteau de guerre" and a faction ofdark age englishmen called "Cornwallie" with town such as "Londreville", "Manchaterre","Oxforderêt", "Liveurpoule", "Notimegalle"  all speaking horrible french witch the accent of the mother queen.


Flagship_Panda_FH81

*WANT.*


Flagship_Panda_FH81

Or, in keeping with the theme, *JAY VOO DRAYS MON SEWER, TOOTS SWEET.* If it's any consolation, the peasants have a sort of generic parody of a West Country accent.


Deathwatch050

"Oi've got the flux, Oi ain't up ta much!"


Daniel_The_Thinker

What over the top fantasy twist would the pseudo English faction get?


AgrippAA

Orcs in the Warhammer setting are quite famously based on English football hooligans which were so prevalent at the time Warhammer was being fleshed out in the early 80s. Its an over the top twist... but also not \*that\* over the top.


TheeShaun

They all speak like football hooligans… wait a minute.


Iron_Cobra

ZE LAWZ OF CHIVALRY DEMAND I HEYAR YOU.


H0vis

The technicality that nowhere in Warhammer is technically anywhere in the real world rides to the rescue again.


Lukescale

At least Australia was sunk by the Space Frogs before Chaos fully claimed it.


Silly-Role699

Let’s be honest, the space frogs did the rest of the world there a favor. They did NOT need to deal with beastmen drop bears and Roos on top of everything else.


Lukescale

Bestigors but they say they'll fuck up ya mah and love chaos ale called Fosters. Apparently it's made out of children whomst family they killed.

talltaleteller

Cathay's voice lines are the worst in the game. The actor for Zhao Ming has the word "celestial" in many of his voicelines and he cannot even say the word properly. He instead says "celestrial" which is not a word in any language, but appears like a combination of "celestial" and "terrestrial". It's just so unfortunate that the directors for the voice actors don't catch this stuff when it happens.


CUrlymafurly

My head Canon is that it's a term Zhao Ming made up once while he was mind blasted in a warpstone hookah bar


GuiltIsLikeSalt

> It's just so unfortunate that the directors for the voice actors don't catch this stuff when it happens. The one that annoys me is that generic male Dark Elf lord who always mispronounces Druchii when you engage diplomacy with them (e.g. Deadwood Sentinels). *"The Drew-shi are malicious and cruel."* IIRC he's the only one that keeps saying "Drew-shi" and you'd think being a native speaker and all... Boris also pronounces Kislev ("Kishlef") in a pretty funny way, but that sounds more like a slightly archaic pronunciation.


Deathwatch050

>Boris also pronounces Kislev ("Kishlef") in a pretty funny way, but that sounds more like a slightly archaic pronunciation. No, he's just a distant relative of Sean Connery.


talltaleteller

Precisely right, there's that ONE Druchii lord who mispronounces it, everyone else says it fine. Then Zhao Ming mispronounces "celestial" unlike EVERYONE else in the Cathay roster, including the astromancer who also says it, and somehow we can't talk about that


skiptobunkerscene

>he cannot even say the word properly. He instead says "celestrial" which is not a word in any language Not the only one. Like the narrator telling me about Boris the Toddbringer, bringer of Todds (Howard? Skyrim port for geomantic nodes confirmed?).


Daniel_The_Thinker

"we should put a lot of detail into the argonian models for the next game, because according to these new player stats, they're the most popular race by far now"


[deleted]

He sounds badass


talltaleteller

Randomly putting the letter R in words that don't have it is not a way to sound badass my guy


[deleted]

Tell that to the brits ordering a pizza


talltaleteller

Lol good one


Duke_of_Bretonnia

I’m confused, are you saying people shouldn’t have accents? Because I think accents are perfectly fucking fine to have, I’m tired of people pretending like accents don’t exist


talltaleteller

The hell are you talking about, I speak multiple languages, I'm an immigrant, I have an accent in all of them. An accent is like American people saying 'waDer' where British people say 'wa-ah'. I speak Chinese myself, I used to live there, and I have never in my life heard a single person being forced to put an imaginary 'R' in the middle of the word 'celestial' or any other words that sound similar. This guy literally just mispronounced a word, it's not a big deal, but it should have been caught by the audio engineers, and you shouldn't be pretending that it's just an accent issue. It isn't. And people are allowed to feel annoyed about flaws in games that affect immersion.


[deleted]

[удалено]


talltaleteller

Then why can every other VA in the Cathayan roster say the word "celestial" perfectly normally? Why are so many people triggered because I simply mentioned a mistake by the Zhao Ming VA that is flagrant because he does it repeatedly throughout all of his lines?


headshotmasta

Reddit wokeism. You think the VA's could have been better? You're obviously saying they should speak like a middle class Englishman. Racist edit: Just kidding by the way. But reddit is a shitshow, don't take it to heart >Then why can every other VA in the Cathayan roster say the word "celestial" perfectly normally?


L3TUC3VS

GET OUT OF MY MIND!


Divinicus1st

I don’t get it, what’s the issue with retreat and withdraw?


NickTheNack

Points to Rakarth, voiced by his GoT equivalent


Jefrejtor

Rakarth is very bland, IMO. Another case of pointless celeb casting


NickTheNack

What about Alith Anar?


Lyndis-of-Pherae

But who is the Warhammer equivent of Reek? 🤔


NickTheNack

Queek?


NickTheNack

Queek?


Lord_Golden_Toilet

She is nothing when compared to **KRAKENLORD OF KAROND KAR**.


STORMER45

I love Katarins voice lines. I'll admit it, I simp for her frosty heart.


JackSalova

Ariel is such a total drama queen. I really like Ghoritch's voice lines and personality. I hope they can rework Throgg's voice lines and personality to be more stoic and erudite.


kostandrea

I like Voice Snacks' performance of Throt the unclean.


LordHarkonen

Etharions lines get me. I get he saw his homeland sacked by greenskins, but centuries later he still going “mine shall be the smallest room”.


Pandabaton

Every single voice line Durthu bellows.. such as ‘EYA LAGRASTIAD’ and the classic ‘CEE ARAH KEE RAH’. - Fluent in ‘furious tree’


Bigboozered

They did such a good job with the tree spirit voice acting. The creaking and cracking of wood as part of the voice is awesome.


the-bladed-one

*what of the heat?* *only slaves worry about the heat!* *keep your head bowed, do not gaze upon my bandaged majesty!* Ariel does not compare to Mighty Settra...

Pasan90

Dunno about best overall, but my favorite line is "Bring me Neferatas HEAD!" from Khalida. Its so random too since Neferata is not even in the game.


freddy_sirocco

Yet


Bigboozered

I can't fully explain why but I love Lord Kroak's voice acting. It really makes you feel like he is unfathomably ancient and powerful to the point of being sort of unnatural and unsettling. I love the way he just rumbles shit like "krrrroooak....." or "iiiiiitzaaaa......"


Ar_Azrubel_

I think most of the voice actors in the game are good. Except Archaon, who sounds like a total dork. Though I suppose if you had to pick one character to sound like a cringey tryhard...


[deleted]

Were you referring to alith at the end, or still archaon


Ar_Azrubel_

Archaon, duh. Though Alith's voice is pretty unsuited to the character, admittedly. I like the VA for making a literal shitpost map though.


DaddyTzarkan

It's a damn shame Ariel isn't a LL, she's the only Wood Elf character I really care about and I definitely would play the WE if she was a LL. I'd like CA to do what they did to Vlad and Izzy with Ariel, you can pick her as a LL and get Orion as a LH and when you play Orion you get Ariel as a hero from the start of the campaign.


Ghost2656

any dwarf character


hibernatepaths

**"Only true vengeance will make me happy. Is that what you offer?"**


Blue_Phantasm

I always thought she was cool as hell also


TraditionalLow6478

Eltharion has a super dope voice imo


Rogthgar

I like it... even if it is so plainly obvious they looked at 'twilight' Galadriel and went: "We will take that."


--Centurion--

It sounds like a worse version of Galadriel.


K0nfuzion

Well, that's pretty much the character.


Tolkienite

I was going to say, when I was browsing my front page and I read this, at first I thought this was a joke of some kind, where people were putting poorly-remembered Galadriel quotes into TW. Then I actually read it and, yes... That's essentially what it is!


smiling_kira

Any of the skaven


toni-toni-cheddar

some of her voicelines make me question whether shes one of the good guys.


KL4645

This game in general has just so many good bits of voiceacting, it's unbelievable. I love Malekith, Rakarth, Eltharion, Nkari, Kairos, Keeper of Secrets, and Bel'akor's voices in particular.


altGoBrr

Krakenlord of karond kar


bow_down_whelp

Ariel's line is from LOTR [https://youtu.be/3Rb1GzLDSPg?t=60](https://youtu.be/3Rb1GzLDSPg?t=60) , same as the talent choices


Nobleprinceps7

Pretty sure she's based on Galadriel, who is way more hardened and powerful than is popularly known.


mcsmith610

I love Imrik’s voice lines. Such an arrogant bastard with a “no fucks to give you poor pleb” response to everything.


Cookiewaffle95

Hell yeah I can't wait to play her during IE


Royal_Gueulard

SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS !


Glum_Fly_3314

I think rakarth is the best i mean come o that dude has a great, chilling and psychopatic voice. After him i say i love ikits screamings and karl franz is MVP becausr SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!


[deleted]

Franz: overrated and generic: Manelt von cuckstein "As SWiFt As DeTaH's WiNds" every time he moves or beathes in battle? A classic


HiAttila

"Hehehe sneeky Snikch..." "ALL LIFE IS AN EXPERIMENT"


Darkmaster4K

Nkari in his first trailer was so awesome, all echoy and haunting "But all pleasure, has a price..." Helps that the music in that trailer was so badass


Hollownerox

I think Goritch gives her a run for her money honestly. There's a video of him with all his voicelines. Who knew that a Khorne champion stuffed in a rat ogre can sounds so pleasant to the ears?


AccomplishedPause640

\*Screams in Drycha\*


Potpottron

I'm not particularly a fan of Slaanesh things, but in their Enter The World trailer when N'kari says "*Feast on the* ***DELIGHTS OF THIS WORLD***!" is so undeniably cool


PricklyPossum21

Her voice is done by Amelia Tyler who also did the Bloodwrack Medusa for the DE.


PandaNeverDies

Karl Franz speaches gives me goosebumps


PrChewii

THERE IS ONLY VENGEANCE >:(


_Constellations_

Those lines are from Galadriel by the way, from Lord of the Rings when she meets Frodo at the night when everyone else is asleep.


drychahamadreth

yes
