@@CoolMyron it’s in the video description

@@dwim6423 yeah I checked right after I commented. By any chance do you know the name of there main theme song. Not the one at the end but the one you can sometimes find on some of there videos. Also plays on twitch at the start.

Skaven don't exist

"Worse things" may as well be their canonical name.

Skaven? The rats of unusual size? Probably don’t exist.

Look at this silly peasent thinking that ratmen exist.

Pfft... Everyone knows that the 'Skaven' are a myth. Ratmen!? Ha!

Further perspective: The Chaos Dwarfs reside right in the middle of the Dark Lands, with one big capital and a few outposts in comparison to their nicer cousins. It's quite likely they have a lower population that Dwarfs, though the latter are spread out much more. Still, it's not Chaos Dwarfs that we're constantly told are in irreversible decline and just about wiped out for good, even while most of the Greenskin threat for the Dwarfs is spread out enough to often be troubling anyone else as much or more. Whatever the Chaos Dwarfs are doing, it's working. Maybe they are the one thing that Greenskins truly fear, that'd make some sense and at least isn't the level of plot armour of most other evil factions. Like that lot below...

WOOHOO!!! Also nice to see DBZA is still being referenced.

is there a source for that anywhere? sounds rad

@@TemplinInstitute 3rd edition warhammer fantasy battle rules iirc. You should be able to find a PDF online.

40k and Fantasy are different universes that are still linked via the realm of Chaos / Immaterium. It was confirmed a few years ago in a White Dwarf magazine but had always hinted at it in old lore stories. The incongruities in the origins of the Chaos gods between both settings was hand waved because time and space is both shifting and malleable within the warp. The magazine specifically used the birth of Slaanesh as an example. The Dark Prince could have existed in another form in a distant universe prior to being birthed by the Aeldari.

@@HowlFromBeyond in the original lore they weren't. The wfb world was just another world cut off by warp storms. The rule sets were also so compatible that you could field 40k and fantasy armies in the same game.

@@temmy9 I mean technically you probably still can if you play Chaos Daemons.

I'd like to see a proper Estalia and Tilea as well

I imagine they could add some cool units with Araby

Ind and Khuresh are on the Immortal Empires map, although you can't move into those areas, so I think they have a reasonable chance of being added.

Halflings, amazons and Albion would be another ncie addition if all the previous ones and chaos dwarves have been added.

Considering Nippon's old lore, it would be like a Total War Shogun 2 faction - but with Shaolin Monks and some tame Chaos or Chaos-adjacent stuff. The old lore named two deities - Orange Simca (which seems to be inspired by Inari) and Tzeentch, so perhaps they would have a system similar to Cathay's Ying-Yang dynamic, but instead will be balancing Order (Simca) and Chaos (Tzeentch).

I really feel like little has changed in the series for 10+ years.

@@jonny-b4954 nah it looks great

I wonder how long it'll be before we start seeing Age of Sigmar games? While I reckon it'd be prudent to have the Known World continue as a setting, the Mortal Realms are still a thing, even though blowing up the Old World to replace it with something new is the same kind of problem that the original Might & Magic canon ran into.

@@GmodPlusWoW Might & Magic did it too?

@@samuelrodriguez9801 Long, long ago, back in the New World Computing/3DO days. The Heroes Chronicles series, which were basically expandalones for HoMM 3, ended with a clash between two heroes wielding really powerful swords; one with the Sword of Frost, the other with Armageddon's Blade. The two blades clashed and basically caused Armageddon, rendering Enroth uninhabitable. The survivors were able to travel to a new world, Axeoth, which is where HoMM 4 takes place. While it wasn't as radical a shift as going from the high dark fantasy of the Old World to the interdimensional space-opera of the Mortal Realms, it was still an unwelcome change Though truth be told, the death of Enroth in favour of some other world was the least of Might & Magic's troubles. 3DO was on the way out, HoMM 4's development was kinda troubled, and while Ubisoft ended up doing stuff with the franchise for a while, now the IP languishes in their nefarious clutches. We can only hope that Ubisoft pulls a Squenix and sells off the Might & Magic IP for crypto money.

Indeed anonymous mind... Indeed. I personally don't have to suffer the end times because I subscribe to the "age of reckoning" timeline, in which the EMPIRE, Bretonnia, kislev, karaz-ankor, ulthuan and athel-loren bury the hatchet thanks to the brains of Karl Franz, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, and Finubar not suffering from massive brain dinosaurs, and they all team up to save the world from Archeon. "Age of reckoning" is like the primaris update to 40k, with the world teetering on the edge, but not dead, and with REAL hope of saving the world, without adding "ground marines" or something like that to fantasy battles. (Mind you this is all my silly opinions, and I DO actually KINDA like Aos, but it will never compare to fantasy, nor do I care for the fact that gw KILLED the old world to make aos. I personally choose to see it as an alternative time-line, whereas I choose my main direction as "Age of Reckoning". Thats all. :)

Tbh now that i see that warhammer is basically just a lazy stylized parody of the real world I've lost my interest in it.

Sigmar, Nagash, Tyrion, Teclis and Gotrek amongst others never forgot it even after it broke so she was truly wise.

@@Sara3346 I wouldn't really say she was wise, merely blessed/cursed with seeing the future. Worse, she concluded millennia earlier that the world was ultimately doomed and really didn't do anything to stop it. At best she helped slow down the End Times so her own scheme of saving SOME of souls of the Elves could be achieved and at worst, she helped it happen, at least along lines she wanted for said plan. She only truly helped once that goal was achieved, allowing herself to be sacrificed by Teclis in a grand spell that would teleport the Incarnates and their armies to Middenheim. Hell, for all the flak Teclis gets for his actions in the End Times as he Lileath's disciple and carried out many unpleasant acts for that plan, he believed that the future could be changed and carried out his own plans to give them a chance at saving the world. Lileath was driven by the absolute certainty of the future while Teclis was driven by the hope that the future wasn't written in stone. At very end of the World-That-Was, Alarielle even laments that had Lileath truly understood what the Incarnates had become and the power of the Old One Device Archaon used, things could have been different. But she didn't because she had become absolutely convinced that her prophecies were always right and therefore made them right rather than try to change things.

and that the dragons preceded them

Who are the Old Ones again

@@user-kt4vn8le5p big alien frogs like being that like to create mortal races tho they fucked up by creating two big portals that broke on the poles and chaos did a big Invasion

@@user-kt4vn8le5p Think of the Old Ones as godlike gardeners who entered the area (the universe), created the plants (the planets and creatures within) and then left when the plants burst into huge flames. To reword it, the Old Ones were the unknown gods who created everything.

And they still couldnt beat chaos. How?

Warpstone is kind of like that yeah, except I think it existed as a concept first.

KANE LIVES IN DEATH!

The beautiful glow, fields of green!

Yeah it does but Warpstone does not grow. Well maybe it does but not in a regular basis like Tiberium.

forget about the powers of the ruinous powers Brother! WE NEED TO BE ONE WITH YURI :)

What lore hints exactly? I don’t know what to search up on Google.

Eh?

@@J0hnHenrySNEEDen all the hints that this took place in 40k.

@@TheAwesomeHyperon The old ones exist in both universes, Pretty much everything about the warp and their gods are identical, The Eldar and Elven Gods are shared too, The Ork and Orc gods are also the same. The north and south gates imploding into chaos rifts is very reminiscent of Eldar webways, The mentions of Chainswords and plasma pistols being found in the warp within warhammer fantasy lore, The mention of a huge silver knight fighting chaos with blue flames in the warp helping a fantasy party (later to be retconned to be a stormcast eternal rather than a grey knight). The Eye of Terror (a prominent warp rift within 40k) appearing on a fantasy map of the realms of chaos. The crossover of warp based characters like Skarbrand who only existed in 40k until 2013. The 1st rogue trader rulebook introducing Zoats, the Slann and lizardmen into 40k, also believe it was the first mention of both universes existing within a small object within the other. The entirety of Rouge Trader has essentially been retconned out of canon at this point. Now the only real connective tissue is small nods and references here and there.

@@TheAwesomeHyperon One of the short stories in "Tales of the Old World" is about a mage student talking his teacher into helping him cast a spell for knowledge. They traverse different worlds and pass a giant robot at one point b4 going back into the immaterium.

I mean they have been confirmed for some time now.

Wonder if it'll be as good as the mod for wh2...

whats a skaven

That would be the Lost Isles of Elithis, a high elf colony where many of their more adventurous live, in a largely unexplored land.

It has excellent lore, especially for warfare. Appropriate for a wargame setting, expanded to also support RPG elements.

Connsidering how Total War: Warhammer is going strong rn, it just might be the heyday. Sure, GW trashed the world, but the old work is still available, I think.

@@olafgurke4699 End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid

@@reidparker1848 Exactly. The End Times didn't happen. (:

@@olafgurke4699 6th edition and Storm of Chaos are the true canon. Read Nemesis Crown and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2and edition. Kirby and his new writers received corporate (moneygrubber) permission to throw away 30 years of other writers' work and replace it with utter garbage.

That's why decades ago when I first heard of the setting I never looked any further into it. I just figured it was a combination of medieval history + Tolkien + every single fantasy trope ever mushed together in a parody and taking place in a setting they were too lazy to even bother disguising. I was totally wrong and Warhammer has some of the best and well-formed lore I've seen in a fantasy setting, but from the time I was a wee lad up until a couple of years ago I still thought it was a tongue-in-cheek parody of fantasy in general. Do not let the fact the geography mirrors our own make ya think the lore is gonna be lazy and dismiss it before even giving it a chance like I had 'cause you'll be missing some really good stuff.

@@angry_zergling I never said it was lazy or dismissed it? I'm not super into it but I consider myself a fan in general

@@Dirtyblue929 Oh I didn't mean to imply that you had. I meant that I had initially but that it was a mistake. =)

You know its actually pretty brilliant that they modeled their world after ours, because it's a familiar enough structure for us to follow, yet its completely different in so many aspects. Its honestly like an alternate earth

As it should.

Ogres!

This comment has my consent!

Absolutely slobbering for it :D

End Times contradicts so many things so badly that it's impossible to reconcile it with Warhammer. I can only think of it as an alternate timeline where everything you knew was different and all the characters were stupid. Storm of Chaos is the real canon.

That's what I love about it. It never tries to hide where the inspiration is from, yet, when you see how detailed and creative they get with what it has, you can't help but want to see more.

As a man who has spent his life in fantasy worlds I say warhammer fantasy is the second dark world The darkest is warhammer 40K

Warhammer World is dangerous, yet beautiful, that much is true. But unlike the Witcher or Game of Throes and other modern Sartre-isms where people are monsters etc ; Warhammer Fantasy is and should remain different. It is dark, dangerous and beautiful so it could give you a better setting for adventures, to make you fight for something. Unlike horrible, modern dark fantasy which is both ugly and filled with monsters, you have no anchor! It's stupid. Warhammer Fantasy is not. Or at least was not, it was severely mishandled in 6th-7th era imo. Herohammer ftw!

Agreed I would like to see more about them. Given that they seem like a very likable bunch :P
