Ask me lore questions

[Reverend Belial]

Alright, I guess it's about time that I updated this description.

This is a place for newcomers to the lore, or veterans looking to fact-check, to come and ask questions about the lore of Warhammer Fantasy.

FAQ:
Q: Is 40k and Fantasy the same universe?
A: No. 40k discussions go in this thread. http://steamcommunity.com/app/364360/discussions/0/333656722976215057/

Q: What is the End Times and why did it happen?
A: The End Times is the destruction of the Warhammer Fantasy setting, both in and out of universe. Chaos won the final confrontation and destroyed the world, beginning a new cycle and franchise. Out-of-universe this was done because Fantasy's models were costing Games Workshop more money than they were making them so they decided to scrap the setting entirely and reboot it as an 80's power metal album cover.

Disclaimers/Guidelines (I know that we're not supposed to back-seat moderate but sometimes it's necessary to keep things organized):
1. The most important thing; I AM NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. Do not take what I say as the gospel truth, I can forget and I can misread things just like everybody else. My knowledge of the Elves is also pretty shady. There are several regulars around who tend to fill in blanks or correct me if I'm wrong though, so you'll probably get your answer regardless.

2. Repeat questions are ok, so long as the question hasn't been asked on the same page or the one before it. I don't expect anybody to sift through 3000+ posts, but a light skim of the previous page won't kill anybody.

3. GW is extremely vague on many things, so sometimes there just simply isn't an answer to your question. They're also prone to retcons so sometimes what you think is the answer is no longer valid.

4. Try to avoid arguments. I know that sometimes they're unavoidable, but please don't deliberately antagonize anybody. Pretty basic.

5. Sit back, read, and enjoy.

6. No questions about CA's design decisions, or attempts to explain them. It's pointless, and just starts arguments and existential despair.

7. No using the word "strawman". It's a personal thing, it just grates on me.

8. No continuing the "Skaven don't exist" meme outside the context of the lore. I know it's fun sometimes, but it's old, tired, and just wants to rest. Plus it grates on other people.

No, a Royarch *must* be a Grail Knight. It's a requirement.

Not disputing that, but additional condition that it must be a Duke might make it difficult if there are no dukes who are also GKs. I'm assuming there had been non-Duke GKs who were made king.

I would assume that there's always at least one GK Duke. While it is technically statistically possible for all fourteen of them to be useless asshats, I find it unlikely in a culture as rabidly goal-oriented as Bretonnia.

it's near-impossible for a duke not to be a grail knight since there's multiple families that contend for that position (technically they're competing for the duty of minding the whole of the dukedom, but same thing) and odds are the ones with grail knights will put him up for the role as he's WAY more likely to be accepted by the other families without complaint.

....i like archwarhammer's lore videos because he presents alot of charisma to his videos.

But i dont share fully with his political views.


-runs from possible onslaught of dakka-

Even without his politics, he's like the personification of the Acktually meme. And others have pointed out where he got the lore wrong too.

oh many of his lores are wrong
and he more than often in his Horus Heresy lore breakdown
ends up calling
Angron's World Eaters as Word Bearers
and vice versa

and others...
suggesting he does one recording and thats that.
but i mean its leagues better than hearing lore vids where a guy reads it from the lexicanum website

but look on the bright side, he reduced his overbearing political rants in his lore videos compared to that from 2017-2018

i got banned from his discord chat
cos i posted an anime scene.. it was from Inuyashiki series
and one mod thought it was some illegal stuff and i got banned

i mean others pointed it out that it isnt
but y'know... hypocrites are everywhere even on the left or the right or the liberal or the conservative.

odd i never allowed to appeal the ban.
oh this happened in 2018
ever since i been banned in over 100 discord servers
most of which are for fanarts reasons

Surely, 360'ing with a scope is harder than without

not in COD. Quickscoping is the easiest thing

Thought that got confirmed as fake. And idk I can't find other lore channels to watch as the others I've tried either are super bland or I find their voices annoying and impossible to listen to.

So, you have that to look forward to if you happen to enjoy bad games, bad writing and monster energy drinks

The Assassin's Creed series already exists.

Truer than AC fans would admit lol.

Try to read that without wanting to commit murder.

When is that PvP mode coming anyway? I remember reading about it like 2 years ago and there's still nothing.

Oh I can't wait until they completely preach against the ideology and way of life of the 50's, and avoid the China issue all together because they don't want to stop the commie bucks coming in.

What I would watch is a parody of Fallout 76 and its issues though. That would be entertainment..

Eh, Asian movies are even worse than most European movies. Maybe I have been too Americanized, but American movies are usually the only ones I can stomach most of the time.

Nah Korea especially has made a lot of good movies over the years. As did Hong Kong. American cinema has arguably last a creative and innovative edge in recent years. It's all remakes, covers or the same ♥♥♥♥ just packaged differently. Korean film has a lot of original scripts and concepts. And HK used to make good thrillers.

You seen the Good the Bad and the Weird? really good korean remake of the Good the Bad and the Ugly

Never even heard of it before, but now on my ever growing list of Korean movies to see.

I still need to watch Parasite.

Which is unfortunate because, as we all know, you have to go fast. You just gotta.

Selachophobia and vermiphobia.

I believe the accent is "Danish autist wehraboo" btw.

But Loremaster of Sotek is generally a better channel anyway.

[crushcommando]

Speaking of that chaos post, when are we going to get a game that let's us play the cool factions outside of total war? I'm so tired of being generic gud boi #87, fighting chaos just makes me envy their cool ass gear and skaven have wacky tech i wana use.

It's "Danish pretending to be posh British"

It's probably not a coincidence that they're both far right-wing wehraboos either though.

Oh I was actually talking about Arch, I didn't even click on that link. I thought you were talking about how I constantly ♥♥♥♥ on his stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fake accent every time he comes up.

[Silksong Bug Yuri]

How can I paint an orc model purple and hide it in a GW during a lockdown?

How unreasonable.
