So what do we know about the Cloaked Brothers, the templars' more subtle cousins?

Which type of Elf do you think would enjoy getting their butt spanked the most?
>>
>>48386610
High Elf. Very uptight, especially Caledorians.
>>
>>48386610
Dark Elves, especially those Witchwhores.
They'd murderer you after though. Pretty painfully and slowly I imagine. Not out of anger or anything, mostly out of principle; they were probably going to get around to murdering you in the name of Khaine anyway, so they might as well do it right after a nice bout of kinkiness.
>>
>>48386610

Dark Elves would enjoy it the most, but High Elves enjoy it *almost* as much, and aren't likely to kill you after doing it.
>>
Just ordered some Chaos Dwarfs from based chinaman for 9th Age. Gonna do a dragon theme and replace centaurs with dragon ogres and kitbash a huge one for the Kdaai.

Pretty hype right now
>>
Personally, I say beastwomen need some loving, headpats, hand holding, and bathing.
>>
>>48386681
There are no beastwomen.
There are beastmen and rape victims.
>>
>>48386694

Breeding Season is dead, anon.

The chance for loving and headpats is over, there is now only rape.
>>
>>48386711
Finally a new bloody army.
Is it bad that I hope the pissant human nations like Estalia and the Border Princes become playable, modded or otherwise?
I'm a sucker for fringe factions struggling against greater military powers I suppose.

I guess maybe the Estalians could have that Order of the Blazing Sun guys, they're originally from there.
>>
>>48386752
I hope everything is playable. Kislev, Tilea, Estalia and the Border Princes look dumb with just Empire units. They also need to fix the map.
>>
>>48386739
They just need to really try to love and headpats, but it can be done. Then you get a cute, albeit unkempt, beastwomen waifu. Just need to either deal with her marking and defecating everywhere, or potty train her.
>>
>>48386773
Kislev I believe eventually will because their classical unit composition is actually quite different and they even have their own spellcasting order up there. Plus they're sort of interesting as a non-Chaos faction that has to deal with Chaos bullshit early on.
If we're luckier then lucky then a further expansion will add the full Darklands as a map and include Ogre Kingdoms and Chaos Dwarves, but that will likely be some time coming.
>>
>>48386802
I waited over ten years for a Bretonnian update that never came. I can wait for a Darklands map, as the devs said that they want to include all the races, including Chaos Dwarfs.
>>
>>48386752
there are already mods for estalia tilea and the border princes. Pretty good ones at that.
>>
>>48386786

Wait, I thought you were talking about getting a beastman as your lover, which is honestly way hotter.
>>
>>48386610
All elves enjoy it. High elves are the most uptight about it but secretly relish it. Wood Elves are just going to be yelling 'harder!'
>>
>>48386820
Oh man.
We'll finally get to blast assholes with dark magic, heavy artillery, and trample them with endless slave armies all while wearing the stupidest hats imaginable?

So according Total War: Warhammer, all the Bretonnian men are ugly. Are the woman any better? Because the Wood Elves need sex slaves. Both the woman and the men.

Wood elves kidnap all the qt brettonians when they're still lolis and shotas.

I am actually not making this up. They usually disappear forever, butt if they are ever found, it's either dead or horribly traumatized.

As for a less lewd question - sorry for spoiling the party - how do elves do menial work, like farming or cleaning?
I suppose the Druchii have slaves just for that, but what about the other two?

Agreed, but be aggressive is certainly tg related in regards to newly. His prof Bros episode was probably his best work with comedic timing.
>>
>>48388910
Druchii have commoners in addition to slaves. They make up the large ranks of druchii jobs that can't be trusted to slaves but are below any nobility of worth. Mercenaries, corsairs, brothel and tavern operators, shipwrights, watch and their officers.

Corsairs are probably the most upwardly mobile, actually. Even druchii women are permitted the corsair's life, though they can expect to face frequent challenges to their place.

Goddamn cutie. Too bad real beastwomen probably aren't that cute.

>>48388736
See, I always thought it was just the peasants that were ugly, because even the men-at-arms were just the least inbred. The nobles were beautiful.

Though it does seem rather silly, since the Empire probably also has fairly isolated villages, and things aren't that shit genetically. I'd honestly go as far to say as things like genetics probably don't work like they do in real life - sort of like how Fallout seems realistic in most ways, but for some reason radiation mutates instead of killing people dead.
>>

there are several mentions of elves doing boring stuff in the tyrion and teclis books.
since there are few elves and they always have long lifespans, they are decently well off.

Laugh if you will, sir, but Bretonnian nobles usually did look fairly nice in the art. Either with long hair and shaved, or with shorter hair and a goatee or small mustache, compared to how the Empire likes bigger beards and mustaches as a whole.

I'd say the women were beautiful, but one half of them are probably lahmians and the other half are probably infiltrating elves who have lesbian sex every night while the humans are asleep.

So for WHFRP, how grimdark should one go? I assume every race is as violently xenophobic as in 40k, which is where I came from, and since they're both GW products it makes sense; but I noticed that there's rules for playing elves and dwarves in the RPG books? And halflings, which aren't even a race in the setting as far as I can tell? (I just play the game, I haven't looked into the fluff 'cause I figure it's just fantasy 40k)

>>
>>48390196
>So for WHFRP, how grimdark should one go?

It's not *that* grimdark, honestly.

Warhammer 40k's grimdarkness stems from how Humanity's greatest resource is their infinite manpower, which allows them to just grind down unstoppable foes with waves of dying meat, entire worlds dedicated to churning out warmachines and all that other sort of depressing dystopian nonsense.

In fantasy, the scale is much smaller, which means power is concentrated into the individual. You still have greenskins and freaky Chaos Warriors, but now the common footsoldier actually has something of a chance against them. Humanity does not need to employ human-wave tactics anymore, their soldiers *can* hold the line, and consistently do.

There's also the thing about the Empire having friends in the form of the Dwarves and High Elves; unlike 40k, Humanity does not stand alone.

Huh, so it isn't just fantasy 40k? Elves, humans, and dwarves work alongside each other? That's weird. I don't think I like that so much, I'm a big fan of super-grimdark edgy fantasy. Can you make that work with WHF? I don't like the idea of a simple man standing up to a chaos warrior and having even a remotest chance, he should get crushed like an ant and be unable to do anything about it IMO.

Yes, WHFB is grimdarker than 40K. From the get go, the eventual victory of Chaos and eternal damnation is set in stone.

In 40K, there is a chance to actually defeat Chaos once and for all.

Where exactly is it "set in stone?" Some random guy makes a prophecy and now the world is doomed? The only reason that chaos is "inevitable" is because Be'lakor keeps literally rewinding time since apparently only he can do that or something.

Additionally Fantasy's chaos is much less over the top compared to 40k, look no further than the differences in how Slannesh is portrayed.

Stop showing your ignorance. Each rulebook nearly from the start said that Chaos was going to win. It was no prophecy. Even the devs said so.

And bullshit. Fantasy Chaos is more hardcore. Cite a single event where Khorne ordered the slaughter of children in 40K.

Riders Of Ellyrion.

Peasant maids maintain the lord's manor. They know not to make eye contact, because the basic High Elf personality is 100% politics and class.

Later, peasants are performers and artists from all kingdoms in Avelorn. They play all day while large groups of nobles wander and make catty comments, like a reverse carnival where the court comes to the entertainers. They are later mustered by Alarielle as soldiers, and even the homeless mediocre poet that was the bisexual friend/lover of an erotic ballerina that was pissing himself in fear got massive balls of steel when he put his armor on, being promoted to low nobility for valor in the end of the story.

Not canonically. But do what you want.

Weeding out magic users from Bretonnia.

Boys were used as Lileath's soldiers to protect her new world I think, girls were used as her priesthood and as the only Bret wizards.

>>48389922
Beastwomen were never really described in looks. Its assumed they just look like males with tits, small horns, and a lighter/duller coat.
>>48390196
Depends. In Fantasy, there's a LOT less racial hatred and retarded leadership. There's also intelligent villains who aren't Chaos like Nagash and Malekith.

Life is generally better, and more free. Hiveworlds are far worse than even living in Mordheim for example. The Inquisition is nowhere near as far reaching, and you don't get shot for kissing an Elf. Soldiers aren't conscripted and treated as currency, and even the villains treat their people well sometimes like Vlad and Neferata do. >>48390544

Chaos is just as eternal and set in stone as 40k, except devs confirmed that "Chaos would lose if Order had worked together", something unlikely in Fantasy but literally impossible in 40k.

Chaos CANNOT be defeated in 40k, because Chaos is literally life. If there is souls, there is Chaos. Chaos can win, Order cannot. In Fantasy, Chaos is an alien invader from anither dimension. It feeds on emotions, but is not made of them. Souls go to the Wind of Death, wheras in 40k all dead souls are sent to the Warp and are consumed by Daemons.

Also, literally any time a world falls to Chaos, children are killed. You think Khorne sets up orphanages? Planets fall to Chaos constantly. You think when a Keeper of Secrets destroys a Craftworld, all the Eldar children are sent to another one? Slaanesh eats them, probably after Daemonettes skin and rape them.

How about you cite when in Fantasy the Warriors of Chaos ever turned women into giant wombs on hooks?

How can you lie like that? A beastwoman that Kastner was pursuing was described in the way she looked, in the first Archaon novel.

Technically you see a few male Bretonnians ending up in magic colleges in the Empire, at least in short stories.

>>
>>48391178
I second this request.
>>
>>48391249
Likely nobles third or so in line.
Leaving because life in Bretonnia is shit for everyone except the firstborn noble legitimate son, who has a slightly less shitty time but more politics.

Peasants aren't legally allowed to leave and will be executed for such efforts. Just like they will if they dare build a home out of stone.

There is no middle class.
>>
>>48391249
Well, it seems to be framed that they're noble sons who go to the Empire to get an education - in some cases, supported by their family as they're intended for a mercantile trade, or the textile business. But they're not just students, since at least one was magically trained enough that he could learn and work necromancy spells and probably knew some other magical tricks besides that are mentioned, but not elaborated on.
>>
>>48391307
correct me if I am wrong, but the lady pretty much demands all magical kids in bretonnia right, irrespective of their class?

>Chaos is just as eternal and set in stone as 40k,

Yes but defeatable. Ynnead and the Golden Ascendancy of mankind are plotlines that are leading to the defeat of Chaos.

They didn't. Don't confuse your bumhole for the devs mouths!

> because Chaos is literally life.

It's the same thing in fantasy, dweeb. The Realm of CHAOS is where all emotions and dreams come from. Where magic comes from. Where the gods come from. Where souls find their final resting place. They don't go to the "Wind of Death" fucking derping here. Check your closet Chaos source such as the "Hordes of Chaos" armu book which says that Chaos was birthed from the minds and emotions of men.

>Also, literally any time a world falls to Chaos, children are killed. You think Khorne sets up orphanages?

No, Khorne enslaves them for his factories for the most part. But that's deflecting the issue. I want a citation of a Chaos God ordering that children be slaughtered in his name.

>How about you cite when in Fantasy the Warriors of Chaos ever turned women into giant wombs on hooks?

Something tame compared what the atrocities of the fantasy world.

I am going to post the whole scene so bear with me. It starts with Kasnter's squire showing mercy on a mutant baby by refusing to end its wretched life.
>>
>>48391478
>somewhat tame
Do you have a single source to back that up?
>>
>>48391478
1) Ynnead and Emprah Ascended are longshots, stated to be something that in-universe is hoped to be able to defeat Chaos. It was never said that they actually can.
2) It was said about End Times that had Elves, Men, and Dwarfs united then End Times could not happen.
3) Chaos Gods are not literally made by mankind in Fantasy. They feed on dreams and emotions, but are seperate from life itself. Furthermore, its literally canon that there is non-Chaos afterlives, and they are all part of te Wind of Death. No such thing exists in 40k, you die and are sent to the Warp to be consumed by Daemons which by itself makes 40k the grimdark-er setting.
>No, Khorne enslaves them for his factories for the most part. But that's deflecting the issue. I want a citation of a Chaos God ordering that children be slaughtered in his name.
Now THAT comes straight out of your ass. Daemons run the Soulforge you twat.
Furthermore, how about all the times its been said that Daemons wiped out the entire population of planets? That includes the children, you sperg.
>Something tame compared what the atrocities of the fantasy world.
Cite something. Anything.

Daemonculaba is the grimdarkest thing in either Warhammer. Even the fucking female Skaven at least are considered valuable, not just thrown away after each birthing.

>>48391579
>‘You have much to learn, squire,’ the templar said finally, before removing his blade from above the infant’s horrific form. ‘Your education is my burden. I will not fail you as you fail yourself. Pick up the child.’

>‘My lord?’ Emil said with a face contorted by mixed emotions: shame, concern and disgust. Kneeling, Emil wrapped the creature back up in its swaddling.

>‘Place it back on the water,’ Kastner commanded. ‘You will come to see the mistake in your mercy.’

>Emil made his way back down to the water and set the screaming child back down on the sod of woven weeds before pushing it back off into the torpid current. By the time he returned, Kastner was in the saddle, his glare full of reproachful sadness. Knowing that he had disappointed his master, the squire remained silent.

>The knight prompted Oberon on with his heels, Emil and his packhorse trailing behind with the troubled Gorst mumbling incessantly to himself in their hoof steps. Kastner kept his distance from the shrieking child, the sod carried ahead of them on the sloshing waters, bouncing along the reed banks on the opposite side of the river. The templar and his squire had little to say to one another for the next hour. Emil knew better than to disturb Sieur Kastner in such a black mood.

>The infant cried. The waters lapped at the muddy banks and the horses crunched through the grit of the road. Emil watched his master who in turn was looking downstream, watching the far bank. Kastner suddenly sat up in his saddle, craning his head for a better view. Drawing Oberon to a stop, the templar slid down from the steed and led the horse to the roadside. Emil followed suit and knelt down beside his crouching master. Kastner had but one word for his squire.

>‘Watch.’

>>48391501
Khorne doesn't have factories. Daemon Engines come from the spirits of Daemons killed in real space who get tired of waiting to respawn and agree to become Daemon Engines in return for swearing to serve the Warpsmiths.

>>48391478
Fun fact: Fantasy exists in an eternal cycle.

In 40k, once they lose Chaos wons forever.

Atrocities are gone into in detail in 40k, and are always glossed over in Fantasy.

40k is Berserk, Fantasy is Dark Souls. Both grimdark, but one is a HELLUVA lot darker.
>>
>>48391650
Get that end times bullshit outta here
>>
>>48391647
Chaos has always been written like shit.
Writers use "LOLCHAOS" as "don't gotta explain shit" and "a wizard did it". Its a crutch leaned on so much that it being in on itself in time, existing ten million years before it was created even though it kind of didn't appear anywhere until it was created but saying its been here all along makes it seem more important than we know how to show.
>>
>>48391650
Ehhhh...Dark Souls 3 is one of the most nihilistic games i've played, so I think the soul series is darker then Berserk. Alot less graphic and sexualised though.

Skarsnik. The whole novel.

Also Rise of the Horned Rat.

Never in my days reading 40K did I read any book that take glee in detailing child murder. You sick fucks.

>>48391595
>1) Ynnead and Emprah Ascended are longshots, stated to be something that in-universe is hoped to be able to defeat Chaos. It was never said that they actually can.

Metawise, The ascendancy of Mankind is a 50/50

Ynnead is real in the recent lore and she is awakening.

>2) It was said about End Times that had Elves, Men, and Dwarfs united then End Times could not happen.

You mean Archaon said at the end of Glottkin that if the Elder races united with the empire they might have had a chance of stopping him. That's all there is to it. Nothing in certain terms.
>Chaos Gods are not literally made by mankind in Fantasy.

The rulebooks disagree. Chief among them is the "Hordes of Chaos" book.

>They feed on dreams and emotions, but are seperate from life itself.

Bullshit.

Chaos is stated to be the product of sentient life.

>Furthermore, its literally canon that there is non-Chaos afterlives,

Within the Realm of Chaos itself.

>all part of te Wind of Death

Idiot, the Wind of Death is not some sort of Realm. It's just magical energies that blow across the world.

>Now THAT comes straight out of your ass. Daemons run the Soulforge you twat.

I meant the mortal Khornate enslave them, not the daemons.

>Furthermore, how about all the times its been said that Daemons wiped out the entire population of planets? That includes the children, you sperg.

They follow their programming. Khorne did not especially tell them to target children. They go after the strong first. In fantasy, Khorne demanded that Valkia destroy women and children as a tribute to him.

>Cite something. Anything.

The above reply.
>>
>>48391709
I guess it depends on personal definition of "dark".

Monsters exploding from women's crotches in an explosion of gore every few books and heavy implication that god is evil feels darker than just a really hopeless world.

>>48391709
I don't know about that, it seemed sorta more about treating darkness and death as something you inevitably have to embrace without fear.

More of a soothing acceptance that at some point you need to let things restart naturally rather than trying to hold on to things exactly as they are.
>>
Isn't there a race in Fantasy that kidnap female girls, rape them to spawn more of them, and live in swamps? That's pretty fucking grim dark.
>>
>>48391615
>Peering through the long grasses lining the river road, Emil saw that the sod of reeds had become tangled in a broken branch that lay off the bank. The infant screeched – its suffering rising with the heat of the dying day. Emil watched. He waited.

>The squire’s heart thudded in his chest as a figure darted from the tree line and down the riverbank. Its body was covered in piebald fur and its legs were long and cloven. Looking up and down the river, the beast – with a long face and stubby horns of a nanny goat – snatched the child from the reeds and clutched it to itself. Within moments, the creature had become one with the forest again.

>‘The gods decided,’ Kastner said. ‘Just not the ones you were counting on.’ Emil felt the biting reproach of his master’s words. ‘Now the infant is our enemy.’

>‘My lord…’

>‘Now it suckles gall from a mother borne of hate,’ Kastner continued, ‘to take its place in a tribe of beastmen. To spread the canker of the Ruinous Powers through the ancient forests and hunt us through the darkness. To maim. To defile. To kill. To sire more of its monstrous kind for us to destroy.’

>‘I’m sorry, my master,’ Emil told him, his eyes on the grit at his boots.

>‘Fortunately,’ Kastner said, getting to his feet. ‘Calamity is not without virtues of its own. There is a crossing not too far downstream. We shall pick up the trail at the riverbank and you will track the beast – as I have taught you – back to its foetid herd. There Sigmar’s holy work will be done. Have no doubt. We shall end the beasts that walk like men, with all their foul get.’
>>
>>48391811
>‘Yes, my lord,’ Emil said. He was having difficulty finding his way to the same fervent enthusiasm for the fight ahead as his master. The feeling followed him across the Flaschgang and into the depths of the Drakwald. Light left them and the squire was forced to light a lantern. Reading tracks by lantern light was not ideal and several times the squire lost the trail, only to have the templar find a hoof print here or the broken pieces of a snapped twig there.

>‘Such foundlings,’ Kastner told the squire, ‘are considered by the beastmen to be gifts from their Dark Gods. Their ears are always open to the cries of the afflicted and abandoned.’

>The tracks led the pair to the suggestion of a trail, a dark path winding its way through the broad trunks of the ancient forest. The haunting sound of creaking bark and hollowed bone-chimes hanging from the branches drifted on the dank air. Moss-ravaged stone markers started to signal the beginnings of a dark and shrouded route through the forest’s ancient tangle. Once upon the winding trail, Kastner and Emil could hear the distant cries of the child. They were gaining on the beastwoman. Every step into the Drakwald depths took them into the creatures’ accursed and ancient hunting grounds. Stinking water sat in leaf-choked puddles. Fungus ran rampant across dying trees while a miasma infected the very air they breathed. The stench of rot – of disease and of slow death – coated them with its rancid musk. Through it, bloated flies buzzed. Things that droned about them crawled across their skin and bit at their flesh.

>>48390196
All races in Warhammer are xenophobic, but nowhere near 40k levels.

Humans - in the Empire especially - trust and esteem dwarfs for their honor, hard work, and ability in a scrap. Some resent them for their secretiveness, greed, arrogance, and absurd ability to hold a grudge.

They hold elves a bit more warily, but they've had less contact with them. Humans tend to consider elves intimidating for their beauty, and there is a bit of jealousy/scorn. Rural peoples in the Empire are much more likely to blame elves for unexplained disasters if one is in the village, and elves as a whole face more racism than dwarfs ('ear taxes' and harassment in taverns being common).

Humans rarely think about halflings at all, but when they do, it is with the indulgent bemusement one favors a child who is not entirely honest with. The exception are Stirlanders, who are STILL upset with halflings over the creation of the Moot. On the whole they have a reputation as thieves, low level con artists, and confidence men; things even halflings admit are often true.

Elves and dwarfs hate each other, thanks to the War of Vengeance. They are quick to point out the flaws of the other race and loathe to work together unless circumstances force it. The hatred is stronger on the dwarf side (who were the wronged party, and whose memory for slights is literally permanent), but elven contempt for dwarfs can run pretty deep. That said, it is not unheard of for an elf and a dwarf to become (vitriolic) friends (see Bardin and Kerillian in Vermintide for an example of what this probably usually looks like), or even more rarely, lovers (if a slayer from Gotrek & Felix is to be believed).

Both elves and dwarfs hold humans to be an inferior, unclear, untrustworthy, and foolish race. Elves usually hide this behind a barely-present veil of manners), but dwarfs are outright and blunt about it. Still, both races respect the surprising depths humans have for such a short-lived race.

>At the glint of light through the blackness of the dense forest, Kastner told Emil to douse the lantern. Again the pair crouched to watch the beastwoman, foundling cradled in her filthy claws, approach some kind of concealed camp. The smothering forest broke ahead. Cankered leaves carpeted the floor – rustling with snakes, vermin and the large beetles they preyed upon – leaving the surrounding branches bare. Black birthing pools writhed with knots of foul worms. The fat trunks of dead trees seemed to thin, making way for a circle of rough menhirs and standing stones. At the centre raged a fire, threading the forest with a muggy smoke, and casting the beastwoman in silhouette.

>There were others. Many others. Black outlines of muscle, hoof and horn. Some swigged blood and ale, while others roared a bestial laughter at one another. Several creatures butted thick skulls in drunken dispute as about them beasts were snarling, bleating and jostling each other in the shadows. Beyond the fire, Kastner could see a crude altar improvised atop a fallen stone, where some kind of bestial shaman was shaking a staff crowned with a star of bloodied antlers over a sacrificial offering. The creature was dressed in rags, its fur settled with moss and its flesh harvested by blooms of fungus. A single horn curled its way out of the creature’s skull. Behind the monster, the herdstone it was honouring with innocent blood ached with unnatural energies.

>‘Sigmar has blessed us,’ Kastner hissed. Emil couldn’t find it in himself to agree. ‘It’s a warherd. Take courage, boy. You could not kill the child – the God-King has seen fit to pave the way to enemies you can. These beasts are the very children of Chaos. We shall take their hides in Sigmar’s name and bring light once more to this benighted part of his Empire.’

Scene end.

Imagine a two legged version of this. This is your waifu.

>>48390371
You could do that, but it'd be wrong, and most Fantasy fans are gonna tell you to go back to 40k.

This is a setting where a man in outrageously colored poofy shirts with cheap munitions armor using nothing but a halberd and impressive facial hair can stand up against hell-empowered warriors of ravenous evil and come out victorious.

Le nope.

Taal's for example was in the Realm of Chaos. So is Ulric's. And so is Morr's.

Guess where did the Elven Gods live before the Chaos Gods cast them into the mortal world? The Realm of Chaos. Guess who lived in the Realm of Chaos when the Elven pantheon was there? Ereth Khial the Elven Goddess of the Underworld and death.

>The remaining greenskins were drunk. They had hauled the inn’s barrels out from its cellars and opened every one. Some had unruly lines of laughing greenskins waiting to take turns under the spigots. Others had their tops staved in, goblins scooping jugs into the liquid. Later I saw them do the same with the hollowed heads of the villagers, dirty green fingers hooked into bloodied eye sockets, the hair of their victims dripping beer down their stinking robes as they drank from the open brainpan. The headless corpse of a man, gutted as if he were a beast, turned on the spit in the fireplace. In a cauldron on a fire built in the corner of the room, I saw a seared hand struggle from under the lid; screams came with it as the poor fellow inside was boiled alive. The pot lid was banged back down and, thankfully, the screams died.

>They feasted on man and horse alike, gorging themselves on half-raw hunks of meat. The young of the village, squalling infants broiled like chickens

>they brought the women down later in the day. What they did, I will not speak of, but they understood well enough how to evoke anguish in the hearts of those men watching. When done with poor Esme and the rest, they raked the coals of the fire onto the floor. They dragged in the innkeeper’s son. To the wailing of terrible pipes they made him dance a jig barefoot on the coals. Every attempt he made to escape was met with a wall of spear butts. His screams were a terrible song. The greenskins found it hilarious, laughing and cheering and mimicking his agonised hopping. Eventually he could dance no more. He fell to his knees and howled. They dragged him from the coals, put out his eyes and pulled him away into the night. I never saw him again.

Besides, 40k still had worse. Thw cold detached realization during death that nothing is waiting for you, the betrayal of your faith, and the complete eradication of your entire civilization in less than a minute over the actions of one man.
>>
I think 40k and fantasy are just as grimdark in their extremes. There is only so much torture and rape you can have to make a diffrence. But 40k has a much larger scale and seems a bit more hopeless a place to live in as an idividual then fantasy. I mean the higj elves of the inner princedoms are off pretty well and nobles in their castles in bretonnia and the empire seem to hold their own and as well as that the empire and estalia and tilea's cities are a good deal safer then 40k's cities. Also, travelling seems more dangerpus in 40k as you literally go through the warp. Mages seem more fucked in 40k too.
>>
>>48390355

Some Bretonnian Lords are prudent enough to understand that mercenaries may be necessary at times, but they're really hush-hush about it.

One good example is that in Carcassone, the shepards there double as patrollers and border guards. So sometimes a Bretonnian Lord will get a company of mercenaries, give them a single sheep to care for, and occasionally and conveniently drop a bag of gold in front of them.
>>
>>48392171

They want to sell expensive character models. Wood Elves were low number armies, and their characters never achieved the popularity of Archaon and Malekith.

Also, in a 40k story about slaves on a Iron warriors planet, the slaves are fed the remains of the deceaced slaves as a way of efficently dealing with the amount of dead slaves. When the slaves need to defend they are also chained to their bunkers so they cannot run and are left to die there.

I personally think that 40k tries too hard - which can be enjoyable, but it feels like every attempt to make it feel more grounded deviates from what it is or where it started. WFB is a bit over the top, but feels more grounded as a whole, especially since in the beginning it was little more than a slightly more fantasy than reality, in that cheesy 80s way where everything was new and you didn't have to go over the top.

More like High Elves enjoy it behind closed doors between lovers, Dark Elves refuse to have it done to them and do it with a sharpened cheese grater in public on Boxing Day morning, and Wood Elves do it ritually as part of the celebration every Saturday of the conception of the first Elves between Isha and Kurnous with ample wife swapping and an arm wrestling match to see which of the two lovers dresses as Isha and which dresses as Kurnous.

The dwarfs are, with ironclads, submersibles, and gyrocopters being prevalent. There's a bit more obscure things mentioned in the background and novels like tanks, power armor, zepplins , automated weapons platforms and mechanical beasts, but dwarfish conservatism prevents them from going full tech mode.

Chaos dwarfs are even more advanced and don't care as much about tradition, but they combine daemons into a lot of their devices.

The empire is all over the place. They have the ability to make steam engines that fuel much if their industry and even their steam tanks, and mobile battle towers mentioned in the background. They also have some capability to make automatons, like the mechanical steed and the things in Pic related, and at least one source has an engineer invent a heavier than air flying machine.

Skaven are the most advanced, but they use warpstone in pretty much all of their devices, and most of their shit is haphazardly made and will glitch out at some point. But they've made everything from automatic weapons to power armor to lightning canons to rockets.

If the Dark Elves hate it so much, why do they do it in public with a cheese grater?

I can understand the Wood Elves being serious about ceremony and ritual, especially because they're so in tune with the seasons, but High Elves don't seem like they enjoy anything crude.

It was a relevant quote from a good source to give Anon an idea on the mentality that went behind putting WFRP 1ed together, you fucking cock-bag.

Too true. It's the highs that really sell the lows.

You characters aren't walking knee deep in shit Konigstag night. They're doing it because no-one believes them when they say that rats that walk like men are sneaking into the orphanages and stealing away young children.

They lose limbs, suffer humiliation, die alone and unloved in the darkest corners of the earth because they know that to do otherwise would be unconscionable.

A hero in WFRP isn't the guy sitting on a pegasi leading a stampede of knights against dark horrors.

It's the guy who saved a little kid from turning to Chaos, even though it cost him his life.

Because they're a race that fights for dominance.

They will never allow it to be used on them, you'll have to use force if you want to do it, and since they'll fight to the death and use every dirty trick you need to be the superior being in order to bend them into submission without killing them.

High Elves are canonically kinky as fuck, but they're stick up the ass political types as well. A bit of slap and tickle is fun, but only when the neighbors and servants won't find out. The only time High Elves are open about themselves in a less than dignified manner is in Avelorn or pre-Dark Elves Nagarythe. Mostly because Avelorn is the High Wood Elves, and Nagarythe is the High Dark Elves.

Nope. It was because the Empire was the equivalent to the 40k Imperium, whereas Bretonnia is equivalent to the Sisters of Battle. Glorify the Germans, ignore the French, that's the Games Workshop way.


>What does 9th age currently lack?
Named characters. Some of the older Warhammer stuff like Dogs of War, Amazons, and the Forgeworld monsters.

>You can still use whfb8 or whfb7 or whfb6 or whfb5 books for your army if there's no 9age book for it right, it's just not ideal?
All 8e armies plus Chaos Dwarfs have T9A books, just not lore and artwork yet.
>Are they updating the stuff that's how the longest without a proper update to 9age first? Or are they doing it by popularity? Or by a poll? Or just whatever they feel like?

>What are your guys' thoughts on Mathias Eliasson's work over at the Warhammer Armies Project http://warhammerarmiesproject.blogspot.ca/ Including his take on WHFB 9e?

I like that he started with WHFB8e as a base, and then rounded out the army list significantly, covering pretty much everything they've released and discontinued.

I don't have enough WHFB experience to critique his 9th Edition or compare it to 9th Age though.

I suspect it would be pretty easy to mix and match between the two, however, if one has an army list you're missing, since they both have a WHFB8 base.

Nifty.
>>
>>48386581
I've been reading about 9th age, and heard it suffers from serious design-by-committee, and the game is worse off for it,up-to and including people saying they'll be sticking with WHFB8th Ed, even if it is dead.

How accurate are the claims of design by committee making things worse?

In your opinion, what ways is it better/worse than 8th Ed?

Been away from WHFB since early 7th Ed, so I'm not familiar with either one.
>>
>>48397176
In other words, the main draw of The 9th Age is that its really balanced. But since most of the balance was done through the core rules, you shouldn't have any difficulty using anything else made for 8th edition in 9th Age. All you need to know is what old rules became which new rules, which is extremely self-explanatory.

Come on, its not that hard to figure out what I was implying.

>The Ninth Age
http://www.the-ninth-age.com/pdf/the-ninth-age_rules_1-0-0.pdf

Can I get a quick compare and contrast?

It *Appears* you could take any of the army books for any of them and use it with all three. That about right?
>>
>>48397256
>How accurate are the claims of design by committee making things worse?
Depends on who you ask. The only complaint I've ever seen get repeated is that because a lot of things like random tables were removed, the game feels more simple. But I've seen as many people praise it for that as well.

>In your opinion, what ways is it better/worse than 8th Ed?
I can't think of any way that it's worse at all. But all the changes were okay I guess, my armies weren't really affected very much.

>Been away from WHFB since early 7th Ed, so I'm not familiar with either one.
A lot of people really hated 8e when it came out, but because it got so many 8e-only new models people were kind of stuck using it. T9A didn't just fix the balance issues in 8e, it fixed the balance issues in Warhammer in general.
>>
>>48397322
>I was saying it's a rebalanced 8e, so any 8e content should work fine with it!
But I never asked if you could use 8e stuff with 9th Age. I had just assumed that anything designed for 8e would work with 9th age.

I was asking if anybody had played WAP9e AND T9A, and could give me a comparison of the two core rule books.

>>48397340
Pointing out the main areas they differ from 8e could be useful as well though.
>>
>>48397371
>It's a better balanced version of 8th, and a bunch of the random tables are gone. It also fixes some issues warhammer has had for several editions.

Neat.

Do you think it's better as a core ruleset than say... 6th? Most of the people I know who have played warhammer tell me 6th is their favorite edition.

If it's not better than 6th, how doable would it be to use the 8th edition compatible army books with the 6th ed core rules? I know people use old army books with new core rules, so is the reverse possible?

Because between the 9th Age, Armies Project, and 8th edition itself, it seems like 8th has the best selection of armies, by far.
>>
>>48397256
Sounds like a bunch of knee-jerk reactions, it plays fucking great. Got ~10 matches under my belt this year against 4 different opponents and they all seem to love it.

The loudest complaints about 8e were fixed (huge spells/casters in every game, sniper cannons, steadfast not being removed by a proper flank/rear charge etc.). Everything in my army book actually feels playable now. There's a lot less ambiguity in the writing, and combined with a searchable, well-structured PDF it's easy to look up rules mid-game.

Were you using your new list when you played it, or the 8th edition list?

Just curious.
>>
>>48397667
9th Age core rules and 9th Age army list.

I don't really see the point in using old army lists for any of the main 16 factions anymore when the 9th Age ones exist. If you want to splice in one of the minor faction's rules or an old special character from 8e or a fandex, I wouldn't mind. A lot of rules have been tweaked back and forth but the fundamentals are still the same so the translation should be easy.

Me and a friend are planning on recreating one of the many Queek vs. Skarsnik battles by using their 8e rules but with 9e lists otherwise, as soon as we got everything painted up.
>>
>>48397399
Oh. I thought you were asking if the WAP9e and T9A stuff would work together well. My mistake.

>>48397555
I think so. Hardcore 6e players probably won't since, like I said, T9A axed a lot of the tables and removed named characters. But it also brought back Bloodlines, gave an option to play Cathay, and lots of other nifty bits.

I'd say the balance in T9A is superior. Up to you if that's worth what was dropped.
>>
>>48386581
New guy again.

So, I know you guys don't play age of sigmar. I get that you don't like the fluff.

But (Chaos Dwarves aside, which weren't in WHFB8 either)... it seems to include all the same factions as t9a.

What about the mechanics of AoS turn you off?

Are they poorly balanced?

Just Curious.

I'm in the middle of downloading the WHFB Trove, and grabbed the AoS stuff off the website, and grabbed the WAP stuff >>48396806 as well.

I have no idea what to start playing. The options seem pretty similar from an outside perspective (aside from a bunch of minor factions being added by WAP), and I don't know enough about the game mechanics to know what's better or why.

There seems to be quite a bit these days, but again, not familiar with any of them at this point.

So basically you don't really have much to say about the game mechanics because you're unfamiliar with them?
>>
>>48398728
I'm saying I looked at them at launch and they basically didn't exist, but the redshirts over AoS way have been screaming that their game now has rules, so it might have something resembling a system now.

That's a discussion for the AoS thread, however.
>>
>>48398546

>What about the mechanics of AoS turn you off?

Coming from a Warhammer/Warmaster background, AoS felt very much like a skirmish game more akin to Mordheim/Necromunda but lacking the depth of character development that those systems had that gave them a depth of enjoyment.

>Are they poorly balanced?

At launch, certainly. The latest batch of Points Rules is moving towards trying to balance things out.

The basic difference between WHFB and AoS is that AoS is a lot more geared towards casual play.

The best I can describe it is that AoS is the Checkers to Warhammers Chess. Not saying one is better than the other, just that they are different game styles with one being a bit easier to pick up off the get go but the other having a greater tactical depth.

I'm not going to get very useful responses if I go ask the AoS thread: Hey guys, what in your game is /worse/ than in WHFB.

In fact, when I asked them what made it better and what made it worse, they *ONLY* responded to what they thought made it better.

Hence the reason I asked the people who rejected the game for current examples of where that game is lacking.
>>
>>48399338
>In fact, when I asked them what made it better and what made it worse, they *ONLY* responded to what they thought made it better.

I find it worrying when people who claim to be a fan or enjoy something can't point out flaws.

Like fuck, WHFB has plenty -

1. Massive edition creep swinging the priorities of battle between magic/hero/monster/cavalry/infantry. Depending on the editions you play, different unit types become more/less useful.

2. It's unsure of the niche it wants to fill. It should be for battles larger than warbands (Mordheim) but smaller than mass battles (Warmaster). It's specialist offshoots handle the different extremes fairly well, but Warhammer struggles (depending on edition) to handle the middle ground.

3. Stagnant story lines that pander to corporate moneymaking schills rather than the input of fans and the response of global campaigns.

And that's just off the top of my head.

The Skaven have a few brilliant minds but they are often assassinated for their inventions, which are left in the less capable hands of their killers. Sythar Doom, Warpmaster of Clan Skryre and Grey Lord during the time of the Black Plague, was one such skaven. He stole a number of inventions which didn't exactly pan out because he didn't know how they were meant to work, having murdered their inventors and taken credit for their work. One of them wasn't replicated until much later. I don't think he invented anything beyond his prosthetic heart with a dead-skaven switch.

The skagen do have technological knowledge at the Base of the things, but it's been built trough errors, misconceptions and barely understood instructions rather than careful planning and the study of each component in motion

hey, /tg/ one of my little brothers is pestering me about starting playing whfb.
Probably because lately he's been seeing me painting a lot of stuff.

Do you guys know where to still buy some 8th edition army books? I'd love to get him one for his birthday

Probably Amazon. That's where I got my copy of the WFRP 2nd edition rule book.

>>48400747

The Skaven have an entire underground railway network. They are advanced as fuckery.

>>48401788

I'd honestly recommend just downloading the rulebooks and printing them out and binding them for a fraction of the cost.

I kinda want to shamelessly rip off a villain from another source who uses a maze-like traveler's hotel to harvest body parts from specific people, consume them, and thereby remain youthful/tweak their own physical attributes.

I figure such a character is secretly a warlock of some sort, but is that more of a Chaos lore thing or a Necromancy lore thing?

Could go either way depending on origin. If they're a self-motivated go-getter, Necromancy. If they take hand-outs, Chaos.

Border Princes or Mousillon?
>>
>>48402068
Where to vacation? We need some more context.
>>
>>48402068

Mousillon if you want to work for someone else, Border Princes if you want to be your own boss.
>>
>>48402089
As a place for adventure.
>>
>>48402116

Do you want horror, corruption and intrigue or terror, duplicity and maneuvering?
>>
>>48402068
Border Princes have greenskins and some tomb kings. I think it is more fun.
>>
>>48402116
Border Princes. There's a lot of variation between princedoms, some that are cities in their own right, some that are just a burning shack and a guy with a handful of poorly dressed thugs.

Mousillon has a few story elements already tied into it, so there's less wiggle room when it comes to plots and enemies. I wouldn't call it off completely, but the Border Princes has more freedom to run any kind of adventure as well as make up shit.

My friend says Warhammer is fundamentally pessimistic and nothing truly nice can happen in this universe. Is she right?

>>48398546
I refuse to touch it until they say Warhammer Fantasy exists and apologize to the fans.

They don't even have to out out new content. Give the 8e book as a free download and say Age is an alternative universe from Fantasy rather than a continuation.

>>48402502
It's a nobledark setting, like the first Dark Souls, with some periods of grimdark (especially when less competent writers are involved).
>>
>>48399972
Fonubar was the first High Elf to explore the modern world. High Elves thought humans were still cavemen, the colonies wiped out, and Dwarfs as drooling retards. He found Brets like High Elves JR, the Empire as respectable, Wood Elves as creepy and insane, and Dwarfs as a lot better than anyone said.

Teclis was Goodbye Mr. Chips for many generations.

Slaanesh Morathi thought humans were numerous and ugly like maggots, but had a magnificence in Slaaneshi elegant brutality as the heavies to her elites.

Warhammer is ultimately a closer reflection to our own existence than most people care to believe. At the end of the day, the universe does not care about those that inhabitants and the setting is only what it's inhabitants make of it.

>She's... normal I guess?
Then she has a normal, if not entirely comprehensive view of warhammer. It's a very grim setting, but has room for pessimism and optimism depending on the time and place you're observing.

For every dark age, there's an age of resurgence. If it was nothing but shit all the time, there'd be no civilization left.

In theory, Warhammer should be the same. Nurgle represents the stagnation and fall of civilization, Khorne its destruction, Tzeentch the hope and rebuilding, and Slaanesh the excess of the golden age in a cycle. But GW ripped Moorcock's Chaos enough to have an apocalypse. But unlike Moorcock's Chaos, Warhammer Chaos doesn't lose by winning and cause a reboot of reality because of shitty Chaos-obsessed writers without any actual writing talent.
>>
>>48402861
The textbook example would be the whole situation around Magnus the Pious. Dude basically rebuilt the Empire from the ground up after kicking the chaos invasion to the curb.

"Nobledark" settings are one where things are bad and getting worse, but people still hold on and fight the good fight anyway. It's why the Imperial Guard in 40k has so many fans.
>>
>>48403069
But the Guard is as grimdark as it gets.

Nobledark is when you can actually make a change for the better, score a permanent victory and improve the world for the better. The Guard is about one more day, at the cost of billions.
>>
The Noble/Grim axis refers to the ability of protagonists to make a positive change. Settings doomed by fate and circumstance are by default Grim, settings with a cycle where evil never triumphs over good are Noble

The Dark/Bright axis is how fucked up the world is. The level of depravity of the villains, how widespread suffering is, the degree of empathy felt by the common man towards their fellows.

The book states in multiple passages that Goblins are capable of pissing so they have to have some mushroom head in their trousers.

As for what they did to those women, Goblins are infamous for their cruelty against things weaker than themselves or made helpless.

eh, Schultz was a badass even in the vanilla game, and Voss was a god tier general

Schultz is a character who shouldn't have even existed in the vanilla game.

he was the tiger ace who raped baker company's ass so hard, able got called in to do the job.
he was a pretty good relic villain. Conti watching the destroyed tiger was god tier.

tiger phobia was a thing, also the americans regularly flagged the late era panzer 4s as tigers. It didn't help that the ausf H and J were pretty much scaled down tigers to the naked eye.

I admit I don't know shit about Undertale, but I don't think it counts as noblebright if you can easily just kill everyone. Noblebrightness is something inherent in the setting, not just caused by player actions.

And with Fallout, I don't think it can reasonably be called a Neutraldark setting, because the world isn't as hostile as it could be and there's still civilization and people working together. Sometimes it's even treated humorously.
