Has this game pulled you into warhammer canon ?

[senate]

It has pulled me in ! I have most of the warhammer games, but I never really cared for the canon until I played space marine, and then watched the animation movie. That's all 40k though, this is early times and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glorious.

[Gotha]

Yes. I was always too much of a D&D snob to take Warhammer seriously, but this definitely changed my attitude (many, many years later).

I was floored to learn that Warhammer canon is officially dead and the Fantasy universe destroyed.

Can you elaborate on it being officially dead ?

[Slurs! In the Discord]

They are basically remaking Warhammer Fantasy into Warhammer 40K Lite.

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

I was interested until I went to my local table top store and looked at the price of any of GW's lore books.

Nope. In all caps.

[SkacikPL]

I was more of 40K guy but i don't mind a good left 4 dead clone in a different setting.
Especially since unlike l4d, it offers a lot in lore department.

[Goaliosis™]

yes

They re-released it under the name "Age of Sigmar" with a hugely dumbed down ruleset and a 4 page long (literally) rule book. From what I hear it's got some major balance issues as a result of them trying to make it more like 40k. Lore wise, essentially the Warhammer world was overrun and destroyed by Chaos.

Yeah, the End Times literally destroys the world.

I just act like it didn't happen like the Star Wars prequels.

Just looked up Slaanesh. Interesting character, but you can see why they removed him. I'm sure if the warhammer world starts becoming very lucrative than they can reintroduce him.

Well you know how this game is called "end times: vermintide"

That's because it's literally set in the "end times". The apocalypse of warhammer fantasy. So essentially, a new chaos god is born, everyone dies, and the world blows up.

Since then games workshop has started "age of sigmar" which is a new universe/canon for warhammer fantasy, and have started the discontinuation of the old line of warhammer fantasy models.

Which is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shame, because I love the idea of brettonia.

[Fera]

Okay, so I've read up a lot on Age of Sigmar for the past few weeks.
And I've come to the conclusion that the majority of Warhammer fantasy "fans" (people with extensive knowledge of the lore), do not consider Age of Sigmar as part of Warhammer Fantasy.

But rather,

• Warhammer Fantasy ( ~500 - ~2520)
  
• Age of Sigmar
  
• Warhammer 40k

as three separate entities.

I feel like the tabletop part of warhammer is a seperate thing. I'm really hooked into the lore at the moment, but have zero interest in the table top game. PRobably because the oppertunity to try it never happened, and now i'm just too old to care. Have you watched the 40k animation movie ? did you like ?

I honestly thought all three happened within the same universe. That sucks to be honest. I was really excited about how all this translated into 40k. So is there a way to connect all three ?

[Gotha]

Age of Sigmar does connect them. At the end of End Times the Lizardmen and Slann all take off from the Fantasy world in spaceships.
