Lady Olynder: I seduced kingdoms and destroyed powerful dynasties for Nagash Reikenor: through my mastery of sorcery and magic to conquer death but was turned to a servant of undeath and damned 100's of my living followers to Nagash Awlrach: I wapped like SOOO MANY people on my ferry. Gotta respect just hard labour to earn your spot.

The best part? Each of these is the "standard" version of each biomorph. Tyranids adapt incredibly rapidly. That's why there's no one strategy to deal with them, because they will evolve to deal with it. Just to give a bit of perspective on it, Tyranids once got caught on a planet which some Nurgle Daemons were trying to invade. The Tyranids and Nurgle Daemons both made the planet too toxic for each other to live, so both abandoned the war. But now, those same Tyranids have fought Nurgle Daemons again, and were basically immune to all the plagues and diseases the Daemons sent. So not only did they adapt an immunity to Nurgle's plagues, but they also have such incredibly deadly toxins that even Nurgle's Daemons can't withstand them.

@@barthellorenon top of that it was making the faction as a whole look like idiots. Basically the whole narrative was his they were being constantly duped by Morathi. It was making them look like gullible idiots with knifes. This allows a more nuanced take with them.
@barthellorenАй бұрын
I'm not sure if I agree 100% with that as Morathi did genuinely do a good job in manipulating them (taking a lot of inspiration from real world tyrants and cult leaders in fact). She made sure that she was the central point of everything so that she could easily ruin, transform or kill anyone who questioned her. Making sure that all of her high ranking members were either mind-controlled medusae or sycophantic zealots. Reinforcing beliefs by making sure the magic and rituals actually worked and rewarded those most loyal. Creating a strong us vs them scenario for female elves, that reinforced internal bonds and made sure to isolate them from people outside of the cult. Setting up a very judgemental toxic culture that forces members to commit 100% of their time and energy to training and worship in order to avoid falling behind and dying in the arena. And so on and so forth. I agree that this adds a lot more depth and nuance to the faction but I wouldn't entirely write of the khainites as idiots, Morathi did do a great job with them.
@gwell2118Ай бұрын
@@barthelloren making them an entire faction of essentially duped and manipulated lackeys barring Morathi does not paint the faction as a whole in a good light. At first it was fine I guess. But as time moved on painting your army lore framework as an entire people manipulated by a narcissist that as time goes on became more and more obviously a fraud isn’t a good look on general intelligence of the faction. And just hints in the background of rebellion wasn’t enough. Nor was it good when most out speakers would do stupid things like speak outwardly against Morathi and immediately get assented. Again painting the faction as shortsighted and overall not bright. It needed more voices beyond Morathi to give other perspectives beyond “blind fanatics enthralled to Morathi and obsessed with Murder.” Than there is some actual better nuanced than just blood crazed manipulated lackeys.

@barthellorenАй бұрын
Agreed, these types of books always start on a -1 for me in terms of enjoyment because you know it is hopeless. Some stories like A Thousand Sons still do such an amazing job at building up the story that you almost start to believe it will end differently than you know; However most stories fail to build up real suspense because of it. The Olynder book is another good example of this from Age of Sigmar.

Not necessarily but you should be somewhat familiar with the overal lore of the Horus Heresy to get the most out of it I think. That being said the Emperor's Children plot is quite self contained when compared to that of many other legions, making this a better standalone than most.

It's funny that Dark Angels and Space Wolves get "utterly unrelated to the Heresy but interesting worldbuilding" novels; the difference is BL straight up and still do lie about "Prospero Burns" when it should be called "Fenryka".

@barthellorenАй бұрын
Thanks for the kind words :) Yes I do plan on making more of them for sure. Currently I plan to do these videos, the subfaction videos and maybe some character specific videos for all AoS factions. There are some non-Warhammer and other Warhammer setting based factions I would like to cover at some point as well but AoS gets the priority for now. For the Old World I would like to do something with it, but it's very hard to get a hold of the books required to do so. I can, albeit for a bumped up price, get my hands on most 8th edition codices I think. But for an example the new TK book has been sold out everywhere where I live :( Definitely want to cover the Druchii at some point as they were my first entry into the Warhammer universe.
