They seem to be around equal with in terms of To Hit and To Wound with the Pyrelock Fyreglaive being more accurate but less powerful than a Freeguild Handgun. That being said, The Pyrelock Fyreglaives also have the Pyrelock Weapon rule to make them arguably more powerful.

Speaking of undead Waifus, I was thinking of converting up a Strigoi Ghoul Husbando. I'm slightly inspired by the stupid crypt ghoul vargheist mixtures GW is advertising, and I am thinging of mixing the vargheist head and body with crypt horror arms. Would this just look stupid, or do you think it could work?

A bunch of human lands are being attacked, and a group of human refugees head towards the nearest Karak to beg for shelter and protection. Would the Dwarves let them in?

For the sake of argument, they can be from any major human civilization - the Empire, Bretonnia, Kislev, or Estalia and Tilea. And they aren't secretly planning to backstab the dwarves or carrying any diseases.

>>51159172
No, because they could be trying to backstab the dwarfs, carrying a disease, planning to rob you, or doing any other kind of manling trickery. Also, why would you let them into your Ancestor's home?

>>51157523
I've been thinking about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and I've been wondering about making the statlines more in line with the tabletop. This would mean nerfing a bunch of things like monsters (Reducing the strength and toughness of a Bloodthirster to 67 for example) and setting stat maximums for everyone: (Man: WS 80, BS 60, S 50, T 40, Ag 70, A 5, M 5,) for example. Is this a good idea or not?

>>51159172
Probably, but most likely if they're from the Empire. They'd most likely have to be outside the hold itself, though, I don't think the dwarfs want their homes to become shitholes full of foreigners.

AoW Dread Harpies are amazing Ghoul Queens.

Swap their hands and legs with Ghouls if need be, but I kind of like the wings. Especially with a Terrorgheist, they look like they are flying alongside rather than awkwardly riding.

>>51158838
They're huge, and a bit monopose.

But if you sculpt new shoulders, it could look nice. You get a pubic mane though, no peen.

>>51159172
Depends on who they are.

If peasants of no repute from a neutral nation, probably just put in a refugee camp in an unused hall with some basic guards and inexpensive food. Eventually they'll leave. Or Skaven will get them, since GW writing keeps races very isolated.

If from an old ally, for example Ubersriek to the Graylings, welcomed.

If pitiable but from a less friendly nation, put under glorified arrest and watched by guards.

If they owe a Grudge, be kept safe but probably forced to work to pay for the hospitality and work off the Grudge. If the lord is unwilling to accept work, told to piss off.

Generally speaking no Dawi are unfriendly to humans as a rule other than the Norse Dwarfs.

Alright, question-with-no-correct-answer-time.

According to several sources, it costs a lot to attend the Colleges of Magic in Altdorf, although they are forced to accept even the poorest students, because that's their function, after all. This means that nobles are often given preferential treatment and gets better books and robes and shit.

Assuming that an Altdorf street-rat is willing to seek out the Colleges, maybe without being sure exactly where they are (because several of them are hidden) and know that it's expensive and look up even at Apprentices with awe (and fear, obviously);

What would such a person expect it to cost? I'm working on a potential character that may or may not ever be played, and the idea is that it's a street-rat that starts to experience weird stuff. The character decides to start raising money as it's way out of the slums and get help at the Colleges, but is deathly afraid of witch-hunters and the like - even though the witch-hunters are technically required to deliver such hopefuls and uncorrupted to the Colleges or a Magister, the character obviously have no way of knowing this.

If the character can't raise "enough" money by the end of the starting career and go to the Colleges, I was thinking it'd start being a Hedge Wizard and then go to the Colleges after that. I leave the choice of College intentionally open, and will either let the GM decide or roll a dice (or let the GM decide by rolling a dice in secret). Or if there happens to be a Collegiate Magister in the group by then (albeit highly unlikely) it would make a good master-apprentice thing.

How much do you think an Altdorfian street-rat would feel would be "enough" before seriously seeking out the Colleges or mustering enough courage to go tug the robe of a passing mage, coin-purse in hand?

I am fully aware that all the money will be taken by the College, whether we're talking 10 brass pennies or 10 000 gold crowns.

How are they with the Bretonnians? And the Black Mountain(?) dwarves with the Tileans or Estalians?

>How are they with the Bretonnians?
Bretonnians and dwarfs generally have amicable relations, with a few exceptions. That said, Bretonnia is much, much, much more homogeneous in terms of inter-species relations than the Empire is. Dwarfs are very rare, elves even rarer, and halflings are practically unheard of, even by imperial standards. Also, in Bretonnia, non-humans are treated the same as foreigners anyway, which makes them curious oddities not beholden to any one lord, potentially making them partly above the law, and partly outlaws, which is not a great spot to be in.

So most bretonnians would likely get some form of help, but be regarded as backwards.. well.. peasants. Dwarfs in general probably considers the whole Lady thing that the knight's and nobility have got going as questionable at best, and their idea of honour (i.e. chivalry) as infantile. If I were to make a general judgement on Grey Mountain Dwarf-Bretonnian relations, I'd say "cool but fully amicable". There's expressly trade going on, as well.

>And the Black Mountain(?) dwarves with the Tileans or Estalians?
Black Mountain is along the Border Princes, far away from Tilea and Estalia, but it doesn't make a difference, really; I can't imagine that much was ever said on Tilean-Estalian-Dwarf relations. There are no known holds in the mountain ranges in Estalia.

I would imagine that they are much like the Bretonnian one, although likely a fair bit warmer, especially in Tilea, since they share a common generational enemy in the Skaven. Tilea also has most the The Vaults, a high mountain-range with multiple dwarf holds. Tilean relations are probably a lot more like the Empire's, while Estalian are a lot more like Bretonnia (due to a lack of contact).

Basically your character will be in bondage to the college for life, paying off the debt. They'll need to train him but he'll be working off the debt to the college for a long time.

Everything will cost, his education, his clothing, his food. Your looking at thousands and thousands of gold coins over the course of his education.

>>51161849
an illiterate street-rat? I suppose he'd expect the cost to be your immortal soul, or firstborn child, or 13 years of service, or "the last student to leave becomes the slave of the teacher forever", or something along those lines.

Other than that, there might be (should be, in fact) some urban legends about mystical amounts of money that the entry fee costs. Maybe exactly 666 silver pieces, or maybe a hundred pennies takes from graves, or something like that.

I like this idea. It ends up at 33,3 gold crowns, too, which is potentially a hefty sum, and certainly an insanely huge amount by a young street-rat's standards.

>>51162489
>Basically your character will be in bondage to the college for life, paying off the debt. They'll need to train him but he'll be working off the debt to the college for a long time.

Well that's pretty much how all the wizards end up, anyway. You're beholden to your College for life, and expected to serve it. Might be hard to become a full Magister, though. So I have absolutely no trouble with that. My character might, not realizing that you sign on for life, is soul-bound to your master, and must follow a lot of rules. After all, all you don't see that many apprentices outside of the Colleges themselves, and the rest are either Journeymen or Magisters, and appear fairly free.

>Everything will cost, his education, his clothing, his food. Your looking at thousands and thousands of gold coins over the course of his education.

"Thousands and thousands" sounds a bit like hyperbole, considering that gold crowns are actually extremely valuable. Clothing and food is cheap, it's the work of the Magisters (that they pretty much have to do anyway) and the books (most of which the Colleges no doubt have, it's not like they can buy them anywhere, and they have Apprentices make copies) that can be considered valuable.

It is said that nobles can pay a lot for tuition and such, but most nobles don't have thousands and thousands of gold crowns. We're still talking a lot, though, obviously. The Colleges of Magic likely charge what they think they can get, and I wouldn't be surprised if tuition is different from College to College (which you potentially have little to no control over, in terms of where you end up).

>>51162762
I suggest you try to find some WHFB magic number though. 666 is too cheesy even in our world by now, and carries zero meaning in WHFB world.

I sincerely doubt it. If there was a conflict between the High Elves and Bretonnia, the Wood Elves and/or the Cult of the Lady would likely intervene or manipulate the events, unless there's some tremendously good cause for the conflict or if the High Elves have fucked things up with the Wood Elves.

I dunno, though, I just can't see how it'd happen. I wouldn't be surprised if there were skirmishes or smaller conflicts based on some form of misunderstanding, or the high elves slighting someone's honour, I guess.

Bretonnians have Grail Chapels. I know there are damsels and prophetesses, but are there lay priests at the chapels? Holy days, or relgious sermons? Peasants aren't allowed to pray before battle, but do they worship the Lady at all, or is it only the nobles?

For something so central to Bretonnia, worship of the Lady seems really poorly fleshed out beyond quests. Imagine if Sigmar's worship was only explained as far as the warrior priests and symbols on shields, without the political power or relation to various proviences.

>>51162866
The Bretonnia book for WFRP 2e mentions a Chapel where the priest is a Grail Knight. Damsels seem to be the norm for clergy, but I want to say noblemen can serve in the role, too.

No idea what holy days there are. Probably ones to commemorate Gilles the Unified's victories.

Peasants definitely worship the Lady, or at the very least Grail Knights. However, it seems that the Lady's focus on the nobility leads peasants to instead favor Shallya and Taal.

>>51162781
>666 is too cheesy even in our world by now, and carries zero meaning in WHFB world.

I dunno, it sounds like some ridiculous number the peasants would come up with, and it being cringey in real life only adds to that. It's not like the character would know any of the true magic numbers anyway.

>>51162866
I can imagine that there are chapels in which lesser nobles and retired knights or even less influential (or particularly pious) grail knights serve as lay priests, yeah, but I don't think it's any kind of formalized church, but more as a functionary fulfilling that role, or acting as the caretaker and protector of that particular chapel or holy site.

>>51162967
8 is khorne, 6 is slaanesh

>>51162989
hm, but the 8-pointed start? and I remember in Ravenor Rogue a chaos guy was commiting ritual killings in various metaphorical 8s (kill 8 people, one stabbed 8 times, another one killed with 8-inch blade, another had 8 children, etc.)

>>51162998
the star has 8 points but I don't remember any source connecting chaos undivided to the number 8 specifically while we know the chaos gods have each a number linked to them
slaanesh has 6 for the 6 sins he favors (on top of the similarity to "sex", I would bet)
nurgle has 7 because 7 are the main illnesses of infants
khorne has 8 for 8 are the directions to wage war towards
tzeentch has 9 for he finds more ways to walk through

skaven and malal are respectively 13 and 11 because reasons (I assume the 13 is for the rat because there's an underlying theme of them inheriting the world after the apocalypse, so after the 12 tolls of the metaphoric bell, or because in warhammer 13 is associate with the end in general or just because it's an unlucky number like 17)

I've never heard this before, so I would love to hear where it's from. I've heard the numbers, and I've seen them referred to, but I've never heard the rationales. I'm not questioning what you say, I'm just genuinely interested where it's from because it sounds cool.

Additionally, what are the 6 sins of Slaanesh, what are the 7 "main illnesses of infants", and how is 9 connected to "more ways to walk through"? Khorne is the only one that is self-explanatory.

>malal is 11
Where is that from, and is there ever a stated reason? Again, not questioning it, I just had no idea Malal ever even had the opportunity to get a number, since he didn't exist for that long and isn't in most material.

>skaven is 13
Want to get conspiratorial? This is conjecture, but the Skaven are arguably originally based on pronounced Jewish caricatures, and the Elders of Zion are supposed to be headed by representatives of the 12 Jewish tribes. The Council of Thirteen is similarly a shadowy cabal with representatives from the 12 Skaven clans, the 13th seat reserved for the Great Horned Rat himself.

That, of course, has very little to do with any in-universe justifications. As far as I know, there is now far more than 12 clans, but the number of ruling seats is still limited to 13.

How fluffy is this mod?

Nah, I just gave up and left. I guess I could try playing AoS with them, get friends and stuff and slowly try to swing them all my way, but meh, too much effort and small chance of success.

Warhammer was just a wacky setting back when Drachenfels was written. She fitted right in.

>>51166008
I dunno, I always hated her, and Drachenfels itself is hack writing to me (and not the fun kind).

I *did* really enjoy Beasts in Velvet, and also Genevieve's loli grandmother-in-darkness's bantz.

I dunno. I feel that Warhammer turned into Suehammer in the 8'th edition. At least Genvieve was a fun sue and more likeable than most of the tabletop special characters in Warhammer.

>>51166343
This.

Unless its a dubiously canon BL novel thanks to disconnect between teams, GW characters have no personality. They're just minor NOCs designed to sell a model.

That's why Karl Franz has dialogue and a family in novels, and in everything else he's just the guy holding Ghal Maraz on a Griffon who rides into a battle.

Thorgrim in BL has a succession problem, treasured kinsmen, and a hobby. In army books he's a list of accomplishments and the guy with an army.

Tyrion in BL has childhood friends, fears, guilt and shame. Tyrion in army books drives the plot by being a retard who kills armies by himself.

>>51166604
Naw man, use whatever company and proxies you want in my opinion.

>>51166343
Biggest problem I have with her is how she's managed to learn kung fu and easily control her thirst for blood from a storytelling perspective on the author's whim, and get along well enough with Empire nobles even as an open vampire, and that she made Magnus the Pious canonically a creep.

>but humanizing characters

Humanizing does not necessarily mean slapping on a few distasteful traits. No one would like it if Sigmar felt up sixteen year old looking girls, even if describing him living a human life instead of just being a myth might be fun.

And say what you will about tabletop characters, but it's really hard to fuck them up or make them unlikeable when they have only a page or two of description, and become iconic besides. A book, an older book with an older take on canon, not even a short story, takes some risks.

>>51157523
So, I remember there being a thread a looooooong while back, where the WHFB world was flipped upside down, and every faction had its alignment flipped around. I thought the idea was intresting enough, and was wondering if anybody had saved it somewhere, and if not, if anybody would like to maybe build on it a bit more.

>>51166697
Genevieve came out when Magnus was barely a footnote, Karl Franz had a Chaos Spawn for a nephew and was an inept Emperor of a crumbling realm, Bloodlines weren't really a thing, Tomb Kings were in the same army as Vampire Counts, Malal was canon, there was no Archaon, 40k was a new release, and Spore Orcs weren't canon yet. Warhammer had only actually had lore at all for two years. I repeat: the first Warhammer lore only came out two years prior with the release of 3e.

Its hardly character assassination of a beloved hero.

>>51166697
The whole open vampire thing I always saw like how it is the Discworld series.

>>51166963
I think thats why I like Genevieve. Its basically Warhammer Discworld.

Like how Sigmar is Warhammer Conan.

>Makes both dwarves and Skaven based on Jews then.

In a way, yes. I would not say that dwarfs in Warhammer are based on Jews, though, but I know that Tolkien based his his dwarfs on his (relatively positive) interpretation of Jewish and semitic culture(s). But the dwarfs in Warhammer goes through a lot of different lenses before coming out as the distinct "Warhammer dwarfs".

The fact that people didn't actually recognize the Jewish/semitic "heritage" of the Tolkien dwarfs probably contributed heavily to this, and is probably why Dwarfs ended up being giving Nordic and Scottish interpretations; after all, saying that the Scottish are stingy and frugal is a lot more acceptable than saying that Jews are greedy, and dwarfish greed are one of their key signature aspects in Tolkien, to the point where that is the aspect that the ring(s) increase it massively, in the same way the One Ring turns Frodo and Bilbo invisible because they are Hobbits, or turns the empathic and sensitive Galadriel into a practical telepath.

The Skaven, however, seems to be based almost entirely on purely negative aspects, no matter how we cut it, and are, if anything, complete caricatures to the point of absurdity; to the point where it's not even recognizable as a clear caricature or satire.

>>51165180
>I actual have the theory that Skaven are "descent" from the dwarves.
You are not alone in that, and considering the literary and cultural foundation, it makes some degree of sense that the Skaven would be the kind of caricature they are, where the dwarfs were originally based on relatively positive interpretations, and the Skaven entirely on negative ones.

I'm entirely convinced that the Skaven are mutated dwarfs. It even fits fairly well with the origin story (pic related).

>>51167465
How so? I don't see it suggested there.

Also, I thought based on armor that Dwarfs are Saxons.

I'd be disappointed if he didn't. He's a Conan the Cimmerian expie and 16 is an adult in the *modern* Empire, let alone in his time.

>>51166897
This. She was a character in an underdeveloped protomass of a setting. Comparing her to modern Warhammer lore is just being shortsighted.

I like Genevieve because she is a fun charming character that goes on fun adventures. I also feel that the obsession of canon is ruining fantasy as a genre. Canon should serve a story and not the other way around. The cool screwball ideas needs ro be there to get the imagination flowing.

>>51167805
Fantasy's autistic over-reliance on a 63-year-old work is what's ruining fantasy as a genre. Whether or not things said or established in a work hold any kind meaning or importance whatsoever in the very same work, or previous and following ones may be important to some readers immersion and investment levels, in my opinion.

>>51167805
Pretty sure "ignore canon, go crazy" is the point of AoS.

>>51167756
You still don't go feeling them up without being in a relationship or something tho

>>51167805
I don't think canon is the problem. Everyone knows that Genevieve is old, and her stories have a lot of old ideas on things.

And fun is obviously subjective. I feel canon should be bendable, but making it subjective to the whims of a story really only works when the story is good, otherwise you get bad writers like CS Goto. I'm not arguing the guy who wrote Genevieve is Goto, but I am arguing that she is not a fun character for me, and the tone and feel of her stories is not what I got into Warhammer for, and it being old doesn't necessarily make it better. If you went to the 40k crowd and asked them for some old 40k stories, they'd probably just scratch their heads, maybe one would belch out something from the late 90s that was asinine enough to avoid retcons.

>>51168191
AoS seems more like a cynical focus group kind of setting rather than the artists and writers doing what they want to do.

>>51167805
>>51168055
I don't think continuity or originality is the problem.

The problem is theme and narrative. If you tell a story, you need a consistant voice and the story should have value. Star Wars 7 is an example of a story with no value, it repeats what worked before rather than being its own thing and contributing to expanding its universe in a meaningful way or being a self-contained adventure.

Alien is an example of a series that lost its voice. Every incarnation was so radically different that it went from horror movie to action movie to philosophical drama to an exploration of humanity. Now its a parody of itself.

that's a nice pic

Afreeguild captain see's something he should not have seen and only the witch hunter and his companion who is a duardin is helping him. He goes on to explain this book will see how normal people view all the craziness but on the ground level things are still similar yet not. Like there is a shard of the world that was in the sea next to the city that is mined as currency to be used to glimpse in the future.

Also the scourge privateers control the docks and they are not nice people going by Nick's description of them twitch chat called them pretty much Aelven mafia well they sound like it. The witch hunter is from the order of ayzr created by sigmar to destroy corruption in the new cities but they are stretched to the absolute limit with all the new people coming into the cities

They also look at the divide between those who came from azyr who are taking all the important jobs and the tribes nomads and people who survived the age of chaos coming into the cities it seems they live in the more slum like area Also many of the people of ayzr view these people coming in corrupted by chaos because they wonder how they survived with the age of chaos hanging over them

Also we get to see how a normal human views a stormcast of course some are heroic and mingle with the populace but the ones in the city are the knight excelsior who hate everything to do with chaos and of course if they get a hint they will carry out a purge and purges happened in the past. Hence why the witch hunter's job is so important

One last thing sigmar's hope was to have all three main races living in the cities together of course certain armies are seperate and doing their own thing even if they are allies but largely the cities are a mixed population perhaps with one main group. Like the city on the novel is mainly a free guild city while let's say the one in the realm of life has a larger aelf population since it was mainly built by the phoenix temple. I quite like this since it makes it dynamic.

>>51169042
When the interview mentioned giving the cities the sort of depth that was present in the Old World with Altdorf and Middenheim I was overjoyed. I loved the mentions of the city docks being under the thumb of the Scourge Privateers, acting basically as a mafia + the way that there's friction between the native folk of the Realms (hardbitten survivors who've endured centuries of ruin and war) and the Azyrites (who were largely unscathed by it, and end up with all the important jobs in the city) . Also looking forward to the new perspective on the stormcast - the idea that these guys have by now been reforged several times each and are a more distant and somewhat scary force.

>>51168517
Warhammer has gone through a bunch if different phases and revisions. I'm not sure it ever had a consistent theme and narrative throughout the years. You just get a bunch of different kind of sweetspots to pick from.

>>51167631
>How so? I don't see it suggested there.
See what?

>Also, I thought based on armor that Dwarfs are Saxons.
I am not really familiar with Saxon armour, but looking at it, I can't say that it doesn't fit with some depictions of the Warhammer dwarfs, but I can't say that it fits as an overall theme, either.

Can't say I've ever connected the Warhammer Dwarfs with the Saxons, but I could be wrong, it might be in there, somewhere.

>>51166697
>she made Magnus the Pious canonically a creep

I don't see a problem with this. In fact, I find that preferable, just like I find it preferable to infer that Sigmar was first and foremost a barbarian warlord, and I would very much be disappointed if he didn't bed several sixteen-year-olds even into old age, and I far preferred the interpretation of Karl Franz as a shrewd and tired Emperor that is trying to keep the Empire to that of the modern interpretation of him as an undefeatable general and peerless warrior with a massive magical hammer riding a griffon that was given to him by the wood elves.

Just reading that last part out makes me cringe.

But the crux of the argument, once you throw aside arguments of canon and start getting into if it's good/fun, is basically 'not muh' and 'muh.' It's just opinionated 'stop liking what I don't like' on both sides, and I think it's better that both sides recognize that instead of arguing endlessly on justifying their viewpoints.

>>51170026
Only as of Sigmar's Blood.

>>51170006
I'm sure Mannfred is prepared for assassination attempts, he IS a vampire...but Snikch is not just an assassin, he's THE assassin. And skaven certainly have a reason to kill Mannfred, there's plenty of warpstone in Sylvaniia. Without a strong leader, the vampires would fall to civil war and the skaven could harvest all the slaves and warpstone they want.

>>51170469
But as a counterpoint, Mannfred has no scruples and they could cut a deal with him like they did the Dark Elves.

Rebel vampires are too chaotic a situation.

I remember a few threads back there was talk about the aftermath of Storm of Chaos being potentially interesting, because things were left in such a shitty state for the Empire.

But while I get there are big ways that could go in the future, how would the Empire survive the food shortages in the short term, without collapsing into anarchy or civil war?

>>51170657
Wasn't he cutting a fuckton in Mordheim?

As I recall all he did was cut deals.

Also, vampires are different from humans. Disorganized humansare easy prey. Vampires are stronger apart.

>>51171332
>Vampires are stronger apart.

You think so? Because without Vlad, Konrad, or Mannlet to lead them, they basically did nothing for centuries. It got so bad Sylvania was ruled by Stirland rejects.

>>51166340
Archaon is fine. SoC made everyone look like a dumbass.

>>51171627
Most vampires don't have the ambition to rule everyone. Blood Dragons mostly just care about becoming better warriors, Necrarchs care more about necromantic research and Strigoi keep a low profile. Only the Lahmia and von Carstein really had any interest in ruling over mortals.

Trying to take over the world is not part of the typical vampire ambition.

There's no depth or complexity there. He's mad because GW railroaded him into being the villain.

He's the most boring Elric ripoff in a setting with no less than four Elric ripoffs.

GW loves to tell us he's _____ incarnate and fluffs him like they have no other selling point, and use him as a plot device with no other importance. Shit, they've sucked him off so much that they even flanderized the Chaos Gods themselves to make him seem more central.

He's one of the newest posterboy characters in the setting on top of all that.

>>51172050

>>51172135
Point being, take Mannlet out of the equation and the other Sylvanian vampires will squabble, wander off, or turtle up, making them less of a factor for skaven cheesing around. No negotiations or deals necessary.

Actually the best thing to do might be to make a deal with Mannlet and later kill him anyway.

Are we now talking about Age of Signal or what? Because Archaon existed as the bringer of the end times way longer before.

>>51172188
That's the thing.

They turtle on Warpstone. They consume Warpstone.

With Mannfred, they are stuck on call and the Warpstone can be plundered or bartered for. Same as Dark Elves, better to work around than against.

>>51172111
>>51172111
Wow, you just proved your autism and the fact you never read any book on Archaon.

>>51172245
Archaon was created for SoC.

Of all the main faction characters, he is the newest.

The fact they had to gimp the rest of Chaos so he could exist is terrible fucking writing.

Finally, his struggle isn't even against fate. Its against the terrible writing of the story he's in. If it was intended the story would have been unparalleled in meta and been amusing, but instead its just forced garbage.

>>51172329
How's your Fyreslayer collection, Carnac?

>>51172259
These are skaven, though. Honoring deals is not a thing they do for extended periods of time. Besides, why barter when you can take?

I think the only relevant factor is the necromancy vamps can pull. Ratpower is practically free for the skaven, but that can work against them when it comes to fighting vampires.

I stopped collecting sylvaneth because they're such a pain to paint. Seriously if painting him was anywhere near as easy as building him I wouldn't have death and stormcast.

Talk about SoC isn't just allowed, it's common. Archaon isn't discussed much becaused he's not very interesting, it's just one or two guys that sperg out. But it's still allowed, because whatever you think of Archaon, you can still discuss him.

>>51178243
It's not salt, it's about not wanting unrelated, incompatible shit in the threads. There's an Age of Smegmar General if you're salty about it, and desperately want to discuss the End Times/Age of Shitmar setting.

>>51175749
>except this isn't even WHFB thread,
Technically true. This is Warhammer Fantasy General.

>its oldworld RP fluff thread.
Not true. The fluff tends to be discussed, because it is relevant across all games, but practically any of the WHF games can be discussed and are welcomed, TT or otherwise.

>accept talk about SoC
There's been lots of talk about SoC lately, especially the potential of the post-SoC Empire, so I have no idea why you'd thinm it wasn't acceptable. The only thing barred is the End Times/Age of Shillmar setting, because some autists have issues keeping them seperate and accept that they're narratively, thematically and conceptually incompatible.

>talk about archaon
People find him a flat character and will shit on fanboyist edgyness, but nobody ever said that discussing Archaon was unacceptable. He's been around for a very long time and is (unfortunately) as integral as any other major character. No idea why you'd think otherwise.

>cannon
Cannons are also welcome.

As in real life, entire nations do not usually fall to famine. Anarchy and Civil War is really hard to do when you're hungry. There'll possibly be a lot of dead, but most will die during the upcoming autumn/winter, which will put even a greater damper on things, since it's very hard to travel in winter, in the Empire.

That said, there'll probably be riots and fighting in every major city. Some might also fall to Chaos Cults and actual anarchism. Even if Archaon and what remains of the armies won't counterattack as a unified force, it might take over a decade to play cleanup and before things stabilize, I'd say.

As far as I remember one anon saying, the Empire was just coming on winter, the north had been ransacked, the midland wasn't much better, and the south had already been picked clean to feed the huge armies massed against the forces of Chaos.

ive always heard skaven were a parody of british neonazis and the nazis as a whole

super science, undercutting of each other, bunch of braggarts, constant excuses for failures, cowardice when their back is to the wall, a vast collection of wretches promoting their own racial superiority, each individual views themselves as the "great leader"

that and stormvermin

add the sum of fantasy stereotypes about rats and you've got the skaven

there's really nothing stereotypically jewish about them.

>>51179107
End times is set in the old world, with old world characters, immediately after the main setting stayed at for a while. Someone who got into AoS without ever reading into fantasy would have no fucking idea what the endtimes were even about. Even the characters who survived act very different than they did in endtimes. Endtimes is just as canon as the Star Wars prequels. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if it had midichlorian level setting breaking shit, it's still canon. AoS belongs in the AoS thread, but endtimes belongs here.

>>51180673

>But while I get there are big ways that could go in the future, how would the Empire survive the food shortages in the short term, without collapsing into anarchy or civil war?
Let's see.

We are talking about a heavily forested land, trough forests are really dangerous. But you could argue that a lot of people are going to poach everything and everywhere, and since people will be desperate it can even be a force to "clean" some forests from the beastmen.

But it can go only for so long and the most devastated regions won't be able to feed their population so there will be a lot of displaced people.

The south probably still have food to survive winter even if it's scarce. The borders to bretonnia and the border princes will be able to survive on imported food, at a great cost.

The most desperate people from the northern regions will probably try to emigrate to the colonies in Lustria, the southlands or the border princes, especially those who lost everything.

>>51181030
canon is meaningless, its all fiction. nothing happened "for real" because nothing in wh existed in the first place.

>>51181203
I don't think there would be that much of a famine : chaos attacked in winter, the crops were already reaped and the empire breadbasket is the south. The biggest problem is the population fleeing the north.

Maybe Chaos could have, maybe. But it also wasn't as much a matter of numbers as it was GW getting mad about things not meeting their narrative. From how they portrayed it, there's no way Chaos should not have won.

From that map alone you have to wonder why Beastmen haven't taken over the world yet. Even if they can't build a boat, they're on almost every continent.

>>51180966
>ive always heard skaven were a parody of british neonazis and the nazis as a whole
I've never even heard that suggested, and it would be extremely odd, considering that most of the things you describe are either not part of common views of "nazis", or aren't part of the common caricatures. The only thing that remotely fit would be Stormvermin.

It's actually a bit odd, when I think about it. There's no clear "nazi" stereotype or caricature in Warhammer Fantasy. In any other setting, I wouldn't consider this odd, but it is slightly weird, since Warhammer Fantasy pulls on so many tropes. They might've just considered it a bit too modernist or too obvious, I suppose.

As the world was established before that's proably even true. One of their many mistakes was setting up a war setting then let the outcome be decided by completely different rules.

>>51181279
the whole jew = evil scheming rat thing is really the only thing that supports that, and that's more just to do with jews being compared to vermin in propaganda, and the people you play with being smooth brained memetards. they don't fit any other jewish stereotype past "theyre scheming rats lol". Yet again, might as well be any other minority group at that point. They swarm a lot, got buck teeth, and talk funny, they must be asians!

Something that I find really entertaining about Bretonnia - and something that I think isn't expressed enough - are the ways that they have to work around their own codes and laws, which they are too proud to lax, but are far too strict to be feasible in a lot of cases.

Take this concept art, of all things - a minstrel that's actually a spy. You can't actually hire a spy, but you can hire a minstrel to perform at a rival's castle, and if he happens to be really good at recording information, well that's not your fault, is it?

And this is interesting - and not just because for some reason the dog has an onion hat.

It heavily implies that really the only educated men in Bretonnia are of the cloth - and the religious people in Bretonnia are nutty as fuck. Or, perhaps, to seperate themselves from the peasant rabble despite not being knights or nobles, they have to go out of their way to go 'look at me, I'm very important!'

No, this is wrong. End Times belongs in the setting it belongs to, and shares it's assumptions, history, themes, concepts and ideas with. That is and was only ever Age of Sigmar, not Warhammer Fantasy. What it happened to be labeled with upon publishing is completely irrelevant.

>>51180673
I was actually saying that the midland had been picked clean to feed the huge armies being there, and that the south (like much of the Empire) likely had many of it's workers pulled off the fields as well as having to feed armies that moved through.

The south is still a lot better off than the rest, I guess, but as a whole, it's a pretty shitty situation. Many cults may have played their hand in the Storm of Chaos, but there's no doubt many left, too, and they should be fairly active (and relentlessly hunted) in the coming months. Mutations also spiked around the time of the Storm of Chaos.

So to the whole list of shit going on (Volkmar returning/Sigmarite split, Archaon MIA, Valten "dead", possible famine, civil unrest, etc), we should probably add "Witch-hunters going fucking bananas in the wake of the Storm of Chaos".

>>51181038
>However bands of raiders and beastmen everywhere, that's the problem.
Yeah, we shouldn't forget that a lot of "sleeper tribes" or whatever we could call them "activated" in the Storm of Chaos. Even the introductionary adventure to WFRP2 has an incoming warherd *from the South* force the players towards Middenheim.

So it's not just that the Forest of Shadows is positively teeming with everything from Kurgans to Chaos Dwarfs, but Drakwald and Nattern are probably surging with beastmen that are engaging in guerilla warfare and major attacks even as the Storm of Chaos failed. They'll go back to the forests in time, as humans retreat to their invariably walled cities and towns, but it's going to be a major issue for a while.

>Would the forces of Chaos have won the storm if pic related lazy fuckers have joined the war?

I've always found that map.. I dunno.. too weird, somehow. They're like too concentrated blots of ink. I've never been a fan of it. I think there should've been more and much smaller dots, spread a lot more evenly. For example, going by this, Norsca is completely fucking teeming with beastmen, but beastmen are assholes to everyone, even norscans, who, despite usually worshiping some manner of chaos and raiding the shit out of the Empire, are actually relatively normal people just trying to stay alive.

It would also mean that there's no fucking beastmen in the Dark Lands at all. And I also think that while there should be a lot in the North and the South, there's just.. way too much. There's lots of chaos there, but that it would be so extremely dense in largely uninhabited regions is just weird, since beastmen types are given form by the fears of living things.

>>51181376
Of course there's penguin beastmen. There's probably some southpole inuit tribes that tell stories of monstrous penguins with four arms and shit.

>>51181776
All in all I don't think famine will be a problem short-term : by the time Chaos invaded, the harvest was done and by the end there was less mouth to feed than before. The biggest problems imo are refugees fleeing from war, cults and, once spring hits, chaos bands preying on the farmers.

Literally nothing is and I have no idea why you'd think so, beyond the "wyrd science" thing they've got going, which is common in modern interpretations of "sci-fi nazism" and is as much Frankenstein & Einstein as it is Wernher von Braun.

If you want to do a caricature of nazis, you stick to caricatures of the nazis, which is all about the sharp dressing, the oppressive authoritarianism, trains running on time, gas, and goose-stepping.

You know what's a common jewish caricature? Rats. You know what's not a common nazi caricatures? Greed, disorganization or anarchy.

how on Earth is Sigmar Conan?

Conan: Chaotic Neutral mercenary/thief/warrior/warlord/barbarian/murderer with little scruples, no respect for anyone, uneducated and rough, with severe wanderlust. Fucks any girl of the week he meets in his adventures and dumps her by next adventure.
Sigmar: Lawful Neutral/Good politician and warlord, hellbent on forging the Empire, and not for his personal power but the good of humankind. Puts great stock in home and education, starts somewhat barbaric, builds a rather enlightened capital. Only loved one woman; when she died declared that the Empire is his only love and so never married or took mistresses. Only fucked once with Azoborn queen to get her sign up to the Empire.

Only things they have in common are:
1) they are fucking massive beefcakes
2) they wear normal sensible clothes and armour in the books, but illustrations portray them wearing nothing but fur underpants.

The examples you listed are not thematic/aesthetic traits, just you pulling weaksauce racial caricatures out of a hat to fit your argument. They are all equally stupid. Plague monks, a very clear parody of catholic religious ceremonies, are jewish? Where's the yamluk? "Noses"? What, a muzzle is a jewish trait now? Is Zootopia antisemetic? You don't even seem to get skaven lore at all. "Matriarchal" based skaven clans? Breeders are interchangeable, bro.

The reason you don't "get it"? Beyond the fact you're not as smart as you seem to believe you are, its because, yet again, they were created in 80's Great Britain, by a Dredd loving nerds. Your idea of what "everyone" thinks Nazis are like is completely irrelevent. It was, and still is in many circles, a common parody of Nazis being a bunch of incompetent tottering doofuses, obsessed with world conquest and purging the "lesser" races. The "neonazi = idiot" trope is so common its got a TvTropes page on it. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThoseWackyNazis

Skaven was also derivative as fuck: the clear literary origin of the skaven was from The Swords of Lankhmar, not some tween dipshit trying to stat up his super clever Jew-Rat race for DnD. Fritz Leiber was an actually good writer.

The only thing you can cling to is the meme "jews == rats (they were also squids and mosquitoes) and your reasoning "so skaven must be jewish!". Imagine if the skaven were human; what about their aesthetic is jewish? What is jewish about a connection with Not-Japan? What is jewish about using flamethrowers, machine gun, lethal gas? About using evil surgical techniques on hapless prisoners? About retarded super science projects that blow up comically? And, yet again, _STORMVERMIN_.

also in maus the jews were mice, and you missed the ENTIRE POINT of the use of animals as races in that comparison as well.

Read "The Scarlett Citadel" and you might see some similarities.

>skaven aesthetic is based very clearly on nazi imagery
>very clearly
Ah, yes, the traditional uniforms of the SS and the heer, obviously.

Aside from the "Storm" in Stormvermin, the perfect opportunity for a fascistoid caricature, down to the goose-stepping, not even they can be interpreted as "nazi" in terms of imagery and aesthetics; at a stretch they're roman-esque at best.

>>51181985
>uneducated

Wrong. Conan speaks like 20-30 languages, can even read some dead languages and has read the Hyborian Necronomicon.

>>51182236
hm, I knew he could speak virtually anything, but I forgot he could actually read. plus I also meant other academic knowledge. Sigmar showed interest in engineering, natural sciences, etc - as much as they were applicable to Empire-building, anyway

>>51182164
>What, a muzzle is a jewish trait now? Is Zootopia antisemetic?
>not understanding context
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were autistic. My apologies.

>they were created in 80's Great Britain
Don't fit with contemporary (or modern) stereotypes or caricatures of neo-nazis either, especially not the skinheads and such in 80's Britain.

>trope is so common its got a TvTropes page on it.
If you took the time to read the page, you'd realize that it barely relates to Skaven, even tangentially. So.. thanks for sinking your own point.. I guess?

>The only thing
There's many things, as has been shown.

>Imagine if the skaven were human; what about their aesthetic is jewish?
About their aesthetic? Practically nothing, other than arguably a few semitic influences like the eshin/hashishin. But that's ignoring the point that if you make the Skaven anything other than rats, their entire aesthetic changes. Their key aesthetic is that they're rats. We're also dealing with caricatures here, so the raggard, haggard living-in-filth-ism fits the jewish aesthetic to a tee.

If you want to do some modernist political interpretation "from the 80's", you're still much closer to punks and/or the antifa with that caricature.

>also in maus the jews were mice, and you missed the ENTIRE POINT of the use of animals as races in that comparison as well.
No, I didn't miss the point at all, but you seem to have missed the point of using mice as representatives of what was usually referred to as rats.

>>51182164
You seem tremendously offended over someone using a caricature, anon. You also don't seem to understand what a caricature is, looking way, way too hard for connections past the caricature, and you seem to be equating identifying one with supporting one.

Are you, by any chance, one of God's Chosen People?

I'm probably the only one who cares, but I'd love to know if there's any fluff for not!African city-states or kingdoms in the Southlands. Mainly because I find it odd that no one seems to have set up colonies or trade posts there if it's just empty, because tapping into that sweet Cathayan trade. Araby just vaguely gets a hold of it somehow, but it'd be cool to have a few potential middlemen, even just Arabyan settlements.

>>51182315
Well, there is the Wiwuzz Kangdom, but information about them is really spotty.

There're no Four Chaos Gods, there's only Tzeentch who's pretending to be Four just to fuck with people.

>And then I'll also become a god who hates magic! And all magic haters will worship him! That is still me! Aahahha!

There's no way to disprove it, because it's totally something Tzeentch would have done.

>>51182272
Conan seems to be more educated on myths and legends which actually does apply to the reality Conan lives in. Advanced engineering is less of a thing in Hyboria than it is in Warhammer.

Sigmar knew that the dwarves has engineering and he wanted to get in on that. However, Sigmar is partly inspired from Conan rather than a carbon copy of him, which some people seems to think he is.

>>51182217

gee i wonder why they dressed up the nazi parody race in clothing that could fit in a fantasy setting? the 1977 flick Wizards was a ton more overt with the bad guys taking up nazi aethetics thing and even they didn't get outfitted by Hugo Boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzYtOFOXS6g

like fuck man do they need to wear stalheims and go HEIL HITLER for the comparison to be clear to you dorks? I'm guessing I'm arguing with actual anti-semitic kids here so, maybe so.

also stormvermin being roman-esque, gee i wonder what other group borrowed a lot of imagery/aesthetic from rome?? obviously the jews, lol

also
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyY08ch8oxs yeah i guess they made the stormvermin goosestep because uhhhhh idkkk its confusin

good point

still, Conan's wanderlust is such a major (main even) feature of him, that it's hard for me to imagine him and Sigmar as similar characters

why is Groot wearing boxing gloves?

>>51182362
Sigmar did wander off in the end. It's also not like Sigmar was a fully realised character until just a few years ago in the Warhammer fantasy lifespan.

>>51182414
Sigmar wandering off was mostly a nod to legends that Jesus didn't Ascend but wandered off into the East. There's apparently his final grave somewhere in the mountains near China, IIRC.

They lost their option for the shotgun version, well fuck me, thats what Chaos Dwarfs were always about, that sweet, sweet blunderbuss(and big hats, and artillery).

>>51182425
>short gun
>bit tall hat
do they keep their guns in their hats on the march?

I remember there was a hilarious warhammer beauty pageant comic?.. anyone still got it? can't find it.

>>51182422
Can't it be both?

>>51182292
lmfao dude im serious, are you for real? i mean shit you ignore like 75% of the shit i write then try to defend the "noses" bit. you don't have a goddamn leg to stand on dude, just quit.

man i just wanna leave it at that but lmfao ESHIN ARE HASHISHIN. YES CLEARLY THE RATS OF NIPPON ARE BASED OFF THE MUSLIM ASSASSINS. the most weeaboo fuckin thing on earth is now "semitic" get the fuck out, holy lol.

"their entire aesthetic changes" lmao you intentionally dense motherfucker, what is this? i dont know who youre trying to fool here, i told you im not gonna hand hold you if you wanna pull weak dodges like this. And you had the gall to accuse me of being evasive.

also since you seem to like TvTropes but cant navigate to save your life, here you go: "In Warhammer, the Skaven are seen as very analogous to the Third Reich, what with their super technology, horrifying experiments, rune iconography (one of the more commonly used ones is a swastika-styled triskelion), disregard for human life, plan to conquer the world by killing everyone worthless (i.e. everyone, period) and the fact they have a unit called "Storm Vermin".

"there's many things, as has been shown" ahaha nerd get your head out of your ass, you haven't shown a goddamn thing. well, other than not knowing the difference between "parody" and "caricature".

also read maus again. or read it once, since it seems like you missed a shit ton of subtext.

The Skaven are based on conspiracy theories. That's why everyone in the Old World disregards them as myth.

>>51182498
nonsense. you can't really believe that.

>>51182498
>everyone
Do dwarves?

>>51182135
Yeah, the rats being gooks makes a lot more sense than the rats being kikes

>>51182315
There is the imperial city of Sudenburg

It was by the guy that does those skaven comics, like the 'strength in numbers' one.

>>51182593
huh? ain't seen that one. got it maybe?
