Arch (formerly Arch warhammer before even GW went after him) is indeed quite based. I'm not massively knowledgeable on him but here goes the extent of what I know.
He is hated throughout every left leaning warhammer community. Usually accused of being alt right and anyone he associates with being the target for the rabid left.
From what I have actually seen from him he seem like a reasonable individual who is against most of the woke shit while making informative videos (sometimes warhammer lore, sometimes current events) with a degree of smug self satisfaction in his presentation.
He also participates in gaming streams with other youtubers who tend to be based.
With that out of the way he is pretty much your go to guy if you want to dump some woke bullshit from a warhammer property so that it can gain visibility. His lore videos brought many people into the hobby and his cancellation is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. However when his cancellation started and he tried to rally the other creators they shunned him instead so he became the proverbial martyr of the decline into wokeness of the warhammer community and it's businesses.
I'm not his biggest fan, generally not my prefered content to watch, but if you want some anti woke stuff, with warhammer lore, some gaming streams and with some occasional RP you should give him a shot.
He is also rather well known for a Nazi vampire the masquerade rp he did a while back. And a warhammer 40k one but that one seems to be a bit lost to youtube.
His lore videos are entertaining, if you don't mind his rehearsed accent, but frequently enough inaccurate. When he did a video with Sargon, I didn't quite agree with his takes on how to fix the TW franchise, although I'd have to rewatch to give a fair assessment.
The way CA/GW and their current pop-tart fanbase treated Arch and Volound were the nail in the coffin for me. I'll still get WH3 years later if game+dlc is discounted under $60 since SFO mod makes the game fun enough for me.
I also disagree with quite a few takes of his and know that his lore stuff is said to have inaccuracies though I don't watch them enough to point them out.
I have wh3 and I do enjoy it a lot because of what the new races bring but I am not the TW audience so I don't mind the battle focus (I would complain about stuff like sieges if I thought CA would actually do anything about it) and I'll probably also pick up the rest of it on sales and never pick up another TW game afterwards.
I think CA is gonna have a hard time after warhammer, the game is carried by diverse factions and the advantages fantasy can bring to the table. But that table is not the total war one and the total war base of the warhammer games just isn't that good.
The way everyone seems to treat Arch and such is insane to me so I enjoy the train crash. A company berating a person bringing in new blood, a community treating them like some evil deity where even the name is banned. The train is derailing and it's a glorious insanity.
