I honestly feel that Games Workshop should have made one official Maneater for every faction, and thrown that Maneater into the list of models for that faction as well as put them all into the Ogre Kingdoms list.

I mean, they fucking knew we were using Ogres as unit filler. The older supplements showed us exactly how to do that. They may as well have banked on it.

That would've taken away from the converting aspect of things - and with some factions like the Tomb Kings and the Bretonnians, would have been very hard to explain.

No it wouldn't.

Ogres work for anyone, there's nobody who would never hire them.

>That would've taken away from the converting aspect of things
Games Workshop gives no fucks, that's why all conversion guides and suggestions disappeared from everything other than a single page in the hardcover 8e BRB after 6e. Even then though it was greatly diminished. Outside of Golden Demon, GW didn't want conversions to happen at all.

Before anyone mentions it, while High Elves would not want an Ogre nearby them or would likely bring him back to Ulthuan, 100% never allow him outside of Lothern, it doesn't mean they're above using him as a meat shield. That's why the like the Empire after all.

>>52510666
Bretonnia has a rule against mercenaries, everyone knows that. And why would the Tomb Kings or Vampire Counts ever hire an ogre? They could stab and then raise them, sure, but they have no need to hire living mercenaries. Only reason Lizardmen work out better is because Ogres are easy to please with food instead of rare trinkets.

On the conversion aspect...look at it from GW's perspective. You make an ogre for every faction someone could play as - what, about nine factions? And you try selling them, and some sell well and some don't. You've wasted a lot of time and money designing, producing, and stocking the models, and only so many of them will ever get sold.

It's easier to keep stocking normal Ogres, with the few special Maneaters that have been already made, and throw the responsibility on converting to the player. No mussing about from your end - they buy the same boxes, and maybe some green stuff as well.

>>52510713
>Bretonnia has a rule against mercenaries, everyone knows that.

Other than naval Bretonnians, who only have vague suggestions of rules. Beyond that Ogres also willingly join other races, such as those of Ostland and an Ogre suddenly deciding its a peasant isn't something that one would want to argue about considering peasants are basically weak Ogres anyway.
>And why would the Tomb Kings or Vampire Counts ever hire an ogre?
Tomb Kings hire living human mercenaries to do their dirty work as it is, there is very little unified culture from king to king. Of all the factions in the game other than Ogres you have the most wiggle room for headcanon with the Tomb Kings in terms of making up an OC with eccentric behavior.

Vampires would just want an Ogre because they're cheaper than buying a monster from Necrarchs and more obedient than something from the Strigoi as well as taking far less time to procure than the Varghulfs and Vargheists. Any Vampire looking for a quick and efficient way to get some extra bodies in their force will hire a few Ogres.

I've got a buddy that really wants to play 9th but every time I check the rules I just find myself losing all interest before even building a list. Now, the core rules do contain a lot of much needed fixes but also some problems. Why would you ever take a ridden monster character? The army books themselves frustrate me as well. They've abandoned the lore so the only thing they have to appeal with are well-crafted rules but my armies seem put together haphazardly at best. Are they planning any massive changes soon? Have people been enjoying it?

Some of the encumbrance levels are wacky. A Crossbow is over twice as encumbering as a Blunderbuss and bullets weigh a ton when stacked.

Gunpowder should really be INCREDIBLY easy to acquire in the Empire at least, even bloody militias and pirates have ample access to pistols.

>>52512889
A Blunderbuss is more than half the size of a crossbow so I think that makes sense. But yeah, I didn't change the encumbrance values for firearm shot at all. Maybe it should be 5 instead?

>>52512967
They also have thick metal barrels and are filled with shot and your post is some kind of carbine blunderbuss so you should really compare it with a smaller, lighter draw crossbow.

>>52513193
I think that encumbrance values are a combination of both weight and how cumbersome something is to store, pack and carry. A blunderbuss might weigh a bit more (but I sincerely doubt it would) while a crossbow is longer and several times wider.

>>52512967
>A Blunderbuss is more than half the size of a crossbow so I think that makes sense.

Some are. Others aren't. I doubt the WHFRP one is one of the pistol sized ones, remember the Mordheim one.

Shouldn't brown skaven be stronger than black skaven?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=72KsjWUCUJQ

>>52513616
Perhaps the preference for black fur came before the perceived greater strength of black furred rats.

When a rat is born with black fur, they are given special diets and training which maximise their potential, then they are given better equipment than their kin.

It's quite likely that they are stronger not because of natural effects, but because of cultural ones.

White fur on the other hand is just straight up magic.

>>52513616

They use eugenics to ensure the black rats become bigger and stronger.

>>52513438

Yeah I was going to suggest, I would imagine the blunderbuss in Warhammer is more rifle/shotgun sized.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I've just started getting into WHFB.
I've bought a Dark Elf battalion and a Warhost of Naggaroth box set, which gives me:
>32 x Dark Elves with Spear and Shield / Dreadpears.
>16 x Dark Elves with Repeater Crossbows / Darkshards
>30 x Black Arc Corsairs
>10 x Cold One Knights
>1 x Black Ark Fleetmaster
>1 x Scourgerunner Chariot
or something to that effect, it's hard to find store listings for them these days

Is that enough to build a decent list or are some of the units dogshit? I don't want you guys to build me a list or anything, I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything major.

>>52510713
>And why would the Tomb Kings or Vampire Counts ever hire an ogre?
Because it's so easy. Just grab a handfull of baubles from your tomb, and you have additional, powerful soldiers. And if you don't hire them, your enemy probably will.

For fuck's sake.

So how well would a bunch of kislevite mercenaries/allies (I have at my disposal a small unit of horse archers, winged lancers and giffon legion, as well as a few kossars) fit in a 6th edition dwarf army?

>>52515038

Pretty much everything in the Dark Elf book is good, they are the eternal Elf and are always blessed with decent rules.

As far as I know, the Dark Elf spearmen/crossbowmen kit are actually one and the same and also make another unit with swords and shields.

So really you have 48 infantry which can be built anyway you want. The sword a shield configuration is generally considered the worst. Spear Elves were a staple but you need them in large quantities, like 40 to 50. So it's probably for the best to assemble them all either crossbows or spears.

Everything else is good.

BAC are good, you probably want to run them with two close combat weapons since the hand-crossbow's range of 12" makes it very situational.

COK are again good.

I would build the Chariot as the Cold One variant, I've never used one but people rave on about how good they are.

Fleetmaster can really be run as any Lord/Hero so always handy to have.

If you add some Executioners you should be about 2000 points which is the standard size game.

>>52515725
ah fantastic, thanks a lot

>>52515608
Those are some really cool models to have.

I don't know about tactics, aside from the vague idea that the mobility of horsemen might be a fun thing to have for a dwarf army, but lorewise it would make sense, especially if your dwarves were from one of the more northern holds.

>>52509763
Are dark magic in WHFRP spells powerful enough compared to regular magic to justify taking it when you're trying to make a strong character? Those side affects look like a bitch to deal with.

What exactly is between an Orc's legs?

Do they have fungal balls? A dick just for pissing from?
Do they look like females with no vaginal opening?

>>52516399
I would say yes if you asked me out of character, but if you dont care out of roleplaying than yeah, go for it if you have party members who can compensate

>>52518601
They have a dick for the sole purpose of peeing.

>>52512741
Jesus Christ I feel like an Idiot, I kept hovering over it trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to enlarge without clicking on it and opening a new tab.
>>52512967

>>52518601
Orks in 40k originally reproduce sexually.
That was later retconned, but all other written materials treats them as having penises (mostly just mentions them pissing standing up etc).
So operate under the assumption that that is what they look like anatomically at least.

>>52518601
>>52518971
dammit.
Confused my tabs. Sorry.
But same thing basically operate under the assumption of penis.
Afaik, it was never explicitly delved into in WHFB, but Blood Bowl had female orc cheerleaders, even though BB is separate from WHFB, it's kind of a reflection of stuff that originates there.
So take that as you will.

New Estalia was stated to be much bigger IIRC, but Lizardmen have been slowly BTFOing them.

In the CKII mod they are pirate islands. The 6th ed lizardmen army book shows that post human colonies are in the New world (mexico analoguous)

>>52519928
It's a bit frustrating how maps seem to shift around in the lore. The 'Mexico' area seems to still be strongly Lizardmen controlled in most maps I see.

Kind of cool that they're pirate islands, at least - it allows a bit more oppurtunity for them to be conquered and treated like Caribbean islands.

No, in the 8th ed or so GW pretty much purged references to human armies without official books/minis, save Kislev given you really couldn't due to the Great War against Chaos being a thing.

I think it was 6th edition and some WD articles back in the day that gave an account of Estalia Conquistadors being ravaged by disease as lizardmen knocked them off one by one.

>>52521794
It's not really wrong. GW was always very inconsistent on the exact geography and tons of different maps exist

The old world is pretty consistent but anything beyond the empire, bretonnia, and ulthuan will have variations


The area between lustria and naggaroth especially is a mess of different maps

>>52522472
I've noticed that Cathay and the Hinterlands of Khuresh flipped around at least once.

I'm not too surprised that places like Cathay and the Southlands were tweaked, since they rarely got to see play, but I am surprised that places like Lustria and Naggaroth can have so many variations - they're both major parts of the setting. But yet in one map I've seen Arnheim on a plain like pic related, and in another it's among a bunch of islands.

>>52522472
>>52522907
GW's timeline for WHFB is 2500 years or so too.
So some things might have really changed.

>>52522907
>I've noticed that Cathay and the Hinterlands of Khuresh flipped around at least once.
I'm pretty sure that was just one guy making a mistake and not realising the Hinterlands of Khuresh were supposed to be south-east asia.

Speaking of which, Arnheim is a typo too, it was originally called Arnhelm. That one stuck though.

So if you were look to put together a band of dwarfs for a friends Mordheim mini campaign and don't own any stunties which company's basic troop box would you recommend?

For a a box set or something along those lines you only got the choice between GW and Avatars of War afaik.
LotR Dwarf minis look nice but not exactly a good fit for Morheim imo.

Something you could look into as well are Scibor minis. He like his dwarves.
Most of his stuff is not my cup of tea, but the dwarves looked usually pretty good iirc.

Bretonnians have ways of getting around it.

That does happen in Carcassone, at least in Knights of the Grail. But they never actually got rules on the tabletop to use mercenaries - at least, not until the End Times, I think. Though that also means that for some reason no band of disgraced Bretonnian knights or runaway peasants has ever tried to serve as mercenaries abroad.

Fuck bretonnia, what a stupid ass waste of a playable faction. An entire nation whose whole schtick is knights, and they aren't even the best knights in the old world, let alone the setting. It'd be better off if the old world humans were all just merged into the empire, with Araby and Cathay being the empires main human competitors.

>>52526897

They did have the best knights, Grail Knights are better than anything the Empire has on horseback.

Putting Knightly orders in core was a mistake...

>>52526647
Voland Venetor are specifically stated to welcome some Bretonnians young sons or disgraced knights in their ranks if I am not mistaken.

>>52516006
The idea of having cavalry in a dwarf army is interesting, the thing is at 2000 points (if i remenber correctly) you can only take 2 rare units, and mercenaries count as a special choice.

Also any clan who isn't Eshin, Moulder, Pestilens, Skyre, Flem, Mors, Skab, Skaar, Skaul, Sleekit or Verms is treated as minor clan (page 93).

Well 9th age has pretty much done nothing to reduce model inflation. You still see blocks of 40 to 50 regularly.

Idfk what everyone is sperging about. AoS is getting steampunk dorf pirates in the next few weeks, they just got a sequel to their first rpg box game (albeit no new models) a healthy load of Tzeentch, and a grill stormcast on the way.

And didnt AoS/wfb actually sort of get the recasting treatment? They sold out elves/brets/skellingtons and then took orders on them a few days later realizing how popular they were.

Despite what folks say here, im almost 99% sure theyre holding off on made-to-order for AoS because theyre updating the outdated ranges. TK's and Brets are for sure coming back

Vamps like carstein still have in game models but i know what you mean. I personally dislike special characters but its odd to see a "bleaching" (for lack of a better term) of character models that had history to them

So did anyone here play triumph and treachery? How was it? Anyone got the pdf?

Are there any scans of wfb models that can be 3D printed? There are 3D printers at my university I can use for free and am sick of paying out the ass for shitty GW.

Anyone else have occasional extreme moments of nostalgia trying to make you piss money away?

For some reason I woke up this morning with a huge urge to track down and buy some old Kev Adams goblins, even though while still loving Warhammer I've not played or built/painted anything in 10 years.

I stopped myself just short of buying a tiny handful of the little buggers on ebay for £50.

Their elite knights are better, sure, But those are rare as fuck and almost never leave bretonnia. Compared to Knights of the realm, empire knights have better armor, Formal training, better discipline, better support, more mount options and better education. Bretonnians only advantage is better horses and that magical protection which almost never pops up in the lore anyways.

Yeah it's all an error of the later army books, mostly the Empire one.

A sensible split rules and fluff wise would be:

Empire be foot troops backed up by knights, handgunners and cannons. Then your various regional variations to add flavour.

Brets beings Knights (of more variety of type) backed up by rabble/hired bandits with mercenaries and Knights personal troops adding the occasional gun, crossbow and warmachine.

Full knight Empire was a cool idea for special scenarios but should never have been something made so easily done in the standard army book.

>>52537927
>brets beings Knights (of more variety of type) backed up by rabble/hired bandits with mercenaries and Knights personal troops adding the occasional gun, crossbow and warmachine.
>guns
>mercenaries
Peasant, just don't, please. This just moves bretonnia further into being the retarded little brother of the empire.

If they really wanted to differentiate the Brets from the Krauts, they should have made the bretonnia more high magic fantasy like the elves, while empire was more grounded in technology.

Or, they should have merged all the old word human nations into a true empire of man, with bretonnia being that weird province that focuses more on knights than anyone else in the empire.

the only time undead and chaos coincided was with Krell afaik.
And he was a chaos champion before he died.

This is not explicitly mentioned in official materials, but I assume that once you are dead/undead you are basically outside of reach for chaos or uninteresting, because you don't have a soul to lose anymore.

So I would not expect any corrupting effects at all.
It's not like the blood of chaos worshipers generally has corrupting effects like warpstone. Otherwise every soldier in the Empire would have to worry about mutations after a battle.

Vlad drank from Nurgle ascendant champion Otto glott through his sword and ended up getting plagued. It didn't kill him like it would have anyone else, but he wasn't cured until he "died" again.

Krell, for some reason, was abandoned by Khorne. Khorne refused to claim his soul like he does with all his marked warriors. Krell's soul was stuck in his tomb to stew in its own bitterness and grief until Nagash found him. Grateful for Nagash for restoring him and giving him a sense of purpose again, Krell became one of Nagash's most loyal servants.

I facepalmed hard. While Nagash was wandering around he found the tomb of Krell and brought him back to life. This was long before Kemmler was born when Sigmar was a young man.

Krell accompanied Nagash in his invasion of the Empire. When Nagash was defeated, Krell would eventually be shutdown and locked away in a tomb. Years later he would be found by Kemmler.

Yeah model inflation is daft, but its partly the players fault. People want to play with everything they have.

Its a big reason why I find 40k a chore, and even more so now Titans are a big deal.

I think the 6th ed Wood Elf book is when it all started to go a bit wrong, army wide special rules, then it got worse.

>>52539929

I think it was mainly GW's fault. The rules were designed in such a way that having one massive regiment was usually more effective than two smaller ones.

I mean, before steadfast and horde rules there wasn't much point having a 50 man unit.

Now it's pretty much mandatory for certain armies.

I don't think you have to work so hard to keep Bretonnia and the Empire distinct.

The big problem I think Bretonnia has is that there's almost no flexibility to it. I feel some more creativity in unit choices and explaining them through the lore might have made a fun army. Do you take the expensive but worthwhile bandit/mercenary infantry, or the cheaper but more useless Men-at-Arms? Do you take the expensive Bretonnian knights, or cheaper heavy cavalry that are about as worthwhile, but don't get the prayer buffs? If you manage to add pros and cons to every option, it forces careful choices to be made but allows for more flexibility than as things are now, and helps give Bretonnia a slightly seedier underbelly to its lore - proud chivalrous knights that want to stick to their outdated code, but have to rely heavily on less scrupulous means to be effective and bend or break their own rules. The more noble options cost more or are less effective, the more effective ones have penalties or risks.

Merging all the human nations into the Empire kind of stinks of 40k to me, and if you're basically just slapping what's already there all together, it doesn't really solve any problems, and forces you to flesh out places like Estalia and Tilea more deeply than they are now. It's more how factions got lumped together during the End Times than anything else, and at its worst would be an ugly cronenberg with too many bits sewed onto the Empire. And for the high magic fantasy, what at that point would differentiate them from the elves? Right now, they at least have a unique look and feel, even if they're a lesser army.

Hello everyone! As a relatively recent newcomer to the actual playing of the hobby and with a current fetish for Nurgle I would love to hear about other WoC-players 1500/2000 army lists, preferable mono-nurgle but other ones are welcome aswell! If you have any tips or tricks to share feel free to do so!

Regarding my own army lists, which I love to get some feedback on, I tend to stick to a core containing :

Warriors of Nurgle with Halberds and full command (size will shift depending on what Lords/Heroes I pick)
1-2 x5 Forsaken (Which I upgrade to Nurgle if I have the points to spare).

I've had some variation in Special but in each and every game I've had
1-2x Gorebeast Chariot of Nurgle

I've yet to field anything from Rare allthough I'm enticed to try out a Giant of Nurgle.

In my last couple of games I've seen some great results from a unit of 5x Knights of Nurgle with full command and Daemonic Weapons accompanied by a BSB with Mark of Nurgle which is equipped with Dawnstone, Helm of Many Eyes, Halberd and Poisonous Slime and mounted on a Chaos Steed.

I've also fielded Festus the Leechlord in the majority of my games but he tends to get nuked into oblivion before he can achieve much of note. However, in a recent game against dwarfs, where I fielded him in the second row of a unit comprised of 20x Warrior of Nurgle with Halberds and Full Command which also contained a BSB on a Palanquin his unit single handedly held up the majority of my opponents army by themselves while simultaneously dishing out a large amount of dead dwarfs. All in all I'm not entirely certain whether he is worth taking or not.

>>52541949
If you folded Tilea and Estalia (and maybe the Border Princes) into Brets you might get a little more variety whilst remaining somewhat lore-friendly

>>52541949
Why Give bretonnia those kind of options when we already have the empire for that? They're a useless faction as they are and if we're going to make them more like the empire we might as well merge them with the empire. Try to give them these options, and bretonnia now has everything the empire does but shittier. Shittier knights, shittier war machines, shittier infantry. Here's just no point.

> and forces you to flesh out places like Estalia and Tilea more deeply than they are now
I fail to see how this is a bad thing at all. Actually, merging with the empire would require less fleshing out than giving them their own armies since 90% of what estalia and tilea have can be easily represented by empire units. Same with bretonnia.

I just think it makes the most sense to have the old world humans merged into something that actually seems like a world power capable of competing in a world where elves, tomb kings, chaos and greenskins are out and about. Tilea and estalia being a collection of city states and still surviving makes no sense, even a moderate Orc WAAAGH or skaven uprising or dark elf raid should have wiped them the fuck out.

>>52542423
Again, I feel like that's just crudely welding factions together. I mean, why even do it? It's not like Bretonnia's attitudes towards things considered unchivalrous would change, you'd just have two other armies awkwardly tagging along with the Bretonnians. You'd have to flesh out Estalia especially just to bring them in, and why would they get brought in under the Bretonnian banner?

I just don't think it's a viable solution. Bretonnia itself should be toyed with and fixed, and it doesn't even really need that many changes - just vague lore about conscripting bandits to defend their lands, or more allowance towards mercenary service, if under more strict rules than other factions. A little of the high magic stuff could be included in more 'monsterous' choices, friendly beasts of nature or magically animated statues.

If I wanted to try to be more fair to your idea, lore could be included so that Bretonnia has strong bonds of friendship and honor with the kingdoms of northern Estalia, who will sometimes pledge their forces to fight for the Bretonnian king. This would give you a chance to flesh out some Estalian troops (I've seen fun ideas in the past), and add some variety to the Bretonnian ones without having to change them too badly.

>>52542542
it's kinda funny because the total warhammer empire story objectives are literally about uniting every leader in the old world under KF's reich.

>>52542542
I feel like you don't really like Bretonnia much, and that from what you're arguing, we might as well just not include Bretonnia at all. I can't see anything that they could add to a huge Empire-of-everything-else beyond knights, which you've already noted aren't that good.

I think it's a better plan overall to give Bretonnia flexibility, so that way it's weaknesses aren't as much of a problem. Maybe their knights aren't as good as Empire, but they can use them more effectively. Maybe their infantry isn't as effective as the Empires, but can do the job that their tactics require them to do - supporting the knights.

Tilea and Estalia have been described multiple times as being farther away from most of the worst stuff of the Old World - Chaos especially doesn't threaten them as much and force unity, and Dwarves nearby probably keep out the worst of the Orcs and Goblins. Dark Elves would have to travel pretty fair to get to them, and have to deal with navies that aren't constantly weakened by Northmen raiders. And I would much rather have a world that feels fleshed out with a bunch of distinct countries, rather than just factions that can be pretty much summed up as 'the race completely united.'

>>52542836
>And I would much rather have a world that feels fleshed out with a bunch of distinct countries, rather than just factions that can be pretty much summed up as 'the race completely united.'
The empire, elves and dwarfs are already that. People tend to forget that the empire is not nearly as united as it seems and was actually several warring countries for most of its history up until Magnus reunited them all. Dwarfs technically are under one empire, but even then each hold has its own distinct feel. Same goes for Ulthuan. if the human nations were to be merged into one empire there would still be differences.

>I can't see anything that they could add to a huge Empire-of-everything-else beyond knights, which you've already noted aren't that good.
if they were part of the empire they wouldn't have to worry about subpar armor and would likely have better training too.

>Tilea and Estalia have been described multiple times as being farther away from most of the worst stuff of the Old World
skaven are literally right under them. I don't know why the skaven nearly wiped out bretonnia and the empire but estalia and tilea were still kicking around. One thing end times got right was showing that those 2 weak ass nations would crumble in weeks in the face of a dedicated assault by another faction. Also, Tomb kings are right there, and used to own much of tilea. If there are tomb kings willing to march into the Darklands to reclaim lost territory or into the empire to get revenge, tilea should have been wiped out long ago.

>>52542542

There is a simple distinction between the Empire and Bretonnia.

The former is an early modern collection of states with a levied army and gun powder.

The latter is a medieval kingdom with a feudal structure and augments its technological disadvantage with magic.

They cannot exist side by side in one book or one empire and nor should they.

Bretonnia is a faction of classic knights from Arthurian legend. Pretty much the archetype of many fantasy settings, it would be a total disservice to them to lump them in with the Empire.

Only Tilea and Estilea should ever be lumped together in the context of their mercenary background.

The main problem was giving Empire access to knightly orders in core. If you want to play Empire, I'm sorry but you're going to have a professional army of footsloggers. If you want an army of Knights play Bretonnia.

Bretonnia and Empire have always been in different and distinct time zones.

Bretonnia in the 3rd edition was from the late medieval period, 1400's. They had cannons (as they did in that period) but they were firmly in the era of plate armour. Sometimes the models looked gothic but that was because Citadel didn't make anything else. In all the artwork they wear early medieval and Crusader armour.

Empire has always been pike and shote, the age of the landsknecht in the 1480's to 1550's.

Very close together, and they did fight on the same battlefield, but very different forms of warfare and it wasn't long after that the pike was adopted as the premier infantry weapon and plate cavalry ended.

This has nothing to do with gameplay and everything to do with lore. I could give a shit about tabletop and I'm not talking about sloppily merging the 2 factions as they currently are together. Im talking complete reboot. Sigmar conquered the bretonni back when he was unifying the humans of the empire, or One of the emperors after him conquered that area while they were still tribesmen. There is no Lady, no bretonnian code, none of that. I'm trying to remove Bretonnia, tilea, kislev and Estalia altogether as fully independent nations that existed side by side for thousands of years because they're one dimensional and useless. Instead, they were either conquered by the empire long ago or were always a part of it. THE empire of man should be exactly that, an empire of all the humans living in that area. It should be something comparable to ancient nehekara or how cathay is portrayed, not a collection of countries that should reasonably have their asses kicked by everyone else in the setting. And all that does to the TT is remove one outdated playable faction

Well in that post, and earlier ones, you kept saying 'what's the point of Bretonnia, Empire does everything better', which implies crunch.

The lore is on paper and our imagination, if you only care about the lore why does it matter if Bretonnia is a separate state? It's not hurting anyone and adds more character for people who like Medieval knights with their own agency.

Also, Bretonnia isn't one dimensional they have a fair amount of nuance. The balance between keeping peasants in check but also running an effective estate, between being chivalric and being a military power. You can tease all kinds of themes out of them, I mean it's not Shakespeare but they're no more one dimensional than any of the other factions.

If anything you just want to make all humans a bland mass with one state, one culture and one ruler.

I have to add that I actually play the Empire as well, but even I can appreciate that Bretonnia has an important place in Warhammer as an alternative Fantasy trope.

Not the guy you're talking to, but Tilea and Estalia actually acknowledge the skaven as a threat. they have underground defenses, map skaven tunnels, go purge skaven warrens, and generally have state backing to wipe out the skaven. With the constant skaven in-fighting, they are a lot more capable of fighting skaven than most of the other human factions.

In 5th I'm fairly sure Bret lords were more extravagant than their Empire counterparts. Or extravagant in a different way at least.

Empire being covered in shitloads of detail is a fairly new thing, they had their finery back then but not to the sort of levels that seemed to turn up in 8th I guess.

Orcish is a good way to describe 5th edition Saurus for sure. If anything Orcs without the creativity, slow witted, single minded, they can use weapons and fight but that's about it without someone to tell them what to do.

Ulthuan as much as he wants revenge on the Asur or driving him out.

>an empire of all the humans living in that area

It is though, it has natural borders and doesn't extend beyond them. Sort of like most empires in the historical period warhams is based on. All I'm getting from your post is that you don't like diversity in lore ("diversity" in the sense of distinct factions). Why not just make DE and WE into HE provinces while you're at it?

>>52549578
Honestly, if it was called 'The Empire of Sigmar,' no one would have this problem - they'd know it's the lands united by Sigmar during his reign, and the descendants of the tribes therein.

yes. and for the vast majority of the time Beastmen aren't "Attacking Civilisations" they are small herds raiding villages and hiding in the forests. Only every few Hundred Years does a larger Warherd form at all. Khazrak One Eye causing some trouble in Middenheim is one of the biggest Beastmen "campaigns" of all time, and even so he's no threat to the Empire as a whole. A nuisance. And much like Greenskins, they keep popping up no mather how often they get crushed and chased off.

"There are as many Elves as the plot demands" logic.

If Felix or Vlad kicking a Great Unclean One to death while swinging a Daemonette by the ankle like a mace to bash in the skulls of Bloodletters makes the story better, it happens. Or if a single Pink Horror eating an Elector Count and destroying his army, that'll happen too.

That's how GW explained Dark Elves suddenly not being Chaotic Evulz in End Times. When Khaine died, the Curse Of Aenarion that made them all retarded died too. Since the Curse affected all related family members, passing the Curse onto Aenarion's kids with the Everqueen even though they were born before he took the sword, it retroactively cursed every member of his family including Morathi and his cousins/nephews and nieces/aunts and uncles etc, who were all the original Dark Elves.

So all Dark Elves are ultra incest.

Wrong, it never was at any point one universe.

In 4e Fantasy, 40k wasn't even a full setting.

However GW used Chaos models interchangeably with WoC models among CSM, and vice versa.

Your trollfu is weak. A lot of us started with one of the 4.33 Warcraft games before Warhammer.

>>52559718

Not sure what this means. I own a Rogue Trader book, it is a full setting in its original release.

But that's not really my question. The Lord of Battles only exists in one miniature release, for Epic Space Marine, but nothing about it is specifically 40k (it isn't a corrupted Titan). It is created in some un-specified manner in the Realm of Chaos. I was curious if there was any reason for it being there or just a case of stock art.

>>52559718
Read Realm of Chaos, it explicitly states they are in the same universe.

>>52556002

Yeah you're probably right, a lot of copy and paste from a former list that had 80 warriors in it.

>>52560060

Just a matter of semantics.

>>52559233

My personal opinion is that they intended it to be usable in both universes, since it was a construct of chaos and not a possessed machine (despite its appearance) they may have been going to add it to Warmaster and for whatever reason it never happened.

Potato-potato.

If the gods can reward you with powerarmor or a boltgun through warpfuckery and the Lizardmen and Amazons get laserguns and energyshields that's splitty hairs really.

GW later made an effort to make 40k and WHFB distinct, after they had the issue with the rights to Kaleb Daark and Malal.
In recent years that has somewhat softened again though.
So GW is flip flopping on the issue.

I have to say, thank fuck they got rid of this. I can handle Amazonians having access to Old One 'Sun Rods' as a unique thing to them but every other Warhammer hero having a laser pistol would just defeat the purpose of a Fantasy setting.

Strigoi were proper vampires who have become insane and/or physically devolved. They eat meat and feed on the undead in desperation to survive and have become stronger for it. Their long hard life has made them powerful, hardy, and clever despite usually being varying degrees of insane.

Vargheists are vampires who have gone feral from centuries of starvation starting right after being turned, when a vampire is the most morphed physically by their lifestyle. Their minds went animal and bodies match. They have no higher thought left.

I sort of wish Malekith and the Dark Elves had taken more of a liking to Naggaroth. It's cold, harsh, cruel and bitter like the Druchii and its only real threats are Chaos invasions from the north or the (rare) vengeful High Elf counterattacks.

I mean Malekith and the Druchii lived in Naggaroth for how many thousands of years? Virtually every Dark Elf alive by the most recent year of WHFB can recall a life only lived in Naggaroth. I would have preferred Malekith wanting to conquer Ulthuan out of spite (as it was before the End Times) rather than being the rightful Phoenix King and all that shit. They left Naggaroth to burn.

I just always kind of liked the fact that even when Malekith was denied the crown of Ulthuan and was forced to relocate to a harsher, less appealing land he and his people still grew somewhat attached to it. It sheltered them after they were driven from their ancestral home and it gave them a land to call their own.

Hints of that love-hate connection can be seen in the Malus Darkblade books, and I liked that. Chaos invaded Naggaroth and even if Malekith's ultimate goal was Ulthuan Naggaroth was still his realm and damnit he was going to defend it.
