AOS: The Story Thus Far- Pt. 1 

Atleast Archaon stands by his followers...

@@insomniacbritgaming1632 Archaon is the people leader :D

Don't forget that he attempted, but failed, genocide against the Beastmen and then succeeded in genocide against the Dragon Ogers (in the sense of removing them from their homeland and killing a bunch in the process.) Another fantasy world where the 'heroes' are actually the villains but because they are 'civilised' they get to write the history books ;)

@@Badartist888 well for Humanity and good yes. Remember that these beings were artificially made by chaos and killed millions in fantasy. Sigmar is good cause in his first life he rid the greenskins from humanity and saved all of them, then he defeated the first chaos ever-chosen, and he beat Nagash and prevented the world from dying without a chance for a rebuild

Yea, he doesnt ever learn. But eh book does call out that "This seems familiar" lol

Nagash is mad and narcissistic... it's in "his nature"

I know right. He's like 0-3 against those guys.

AOS is written super shitty.

We-we wreck this man-things whole career. Again.

May the Horned Rat bless you. :)

You got me ;)

Matt Nice Please stop. There are no giant rats living under the city. Now begone, before I change my mind and call the Witch Hunters on you.

@@Xenophon122088 Ahem. The GREAT Horned Rat!

Dont forget hashut either. Thats 6, plus there was a 5th chaos god that was constantly warring with the other 4 in eons past, so thats at least 7 ...

Join us!! :) Thank you for watching :)

Done

Yeah true

I appreciate how you have managed to summarize everything so completely that even when you simplify it it still makes complete sense. Great work !

If he was going to learn he would have the first time around. Nagash will always be the talented and overconfident douche

To be fair, he isn't exactly overconfident. It's just that when all the realms send their armies to stop you from doing your gigantic ritual it's going to be a do or die (heh!) situation even if there are some sneaky ratmen sabotaging you again. The video did a pretty bad job at describing the scale, circumstances and aftermath of that event to be honest. Also while his ritual didn't work quite as intended it did strengthen him a good deal, even gave him a whole new army and Mortarch, so it wasn't even really a failure at the end of the day. He became a god after the old world blew up for a reason. He IS extremely capable and powerful (even back then when he wasn't yet a god he killed other gods). He's on the same level as all the other new gods. He's just not good at making friends, but then again he's powerful enough to have a whole faction under his thumb while Order and Chaos is split between multiple gods.

Wonderful! Thank you for coming along for the ride :)

Super solid point, I could certainly have clarified that better.

Nagash sure is a stupid fool.

Yay! im glad!!!

So how has it gone?

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 I am now excessively knowledgeable of the lore at about the same level I get to with most settings lore... history nerd gonna history nerd

@@CorsairPrince hah now that's a relatable problem... Well not problem... Trait

You are in range for blowing a kiss... Plus 3 to hit. 😂

Cuddle up boys

PeaceAx?

There is only war

My partner would prefer PeaceHammer roflmao

Aw, thank you!!!!

So he was important before not to what going on know lmao

Debatable on whether he brought the end times

@@CookingandWH40kVideos I’d say The Great Horned Rat and Ikkit to. Since the rat and ikkit in one move took out everything south of Sundenburg. Without them Archaon would be murdered by Mazdamundi. While also destroying Nuln, Estalia, Tilea, Border Princes, Araby, and a lot more of the empire

Games Workshop killed WFB, Archaon is just a plot device

Oh thats aweosme!!!

This guy and pancreasnowork are my go to for AoS lore. If you're at all interested in battlereports I would recommend Season of War!

I hope so too!

Glad to hear you're interested!! :)

@@2Tough Yea trouble is, as you mentioned, u have 200 or more videos... that's alot for me to catch up on lol. Any ideas on where to start? Again thanks for the content.

Awesome! and welcome to the hobby!!!

Vermintide also sparked my interest into the lore. Now I am starting to collect AoS models I’m starting with night haunts because I love the look of the minis.

That's awesome! So glad you jumped in!!!

Well welcome, and I'm glad you found the hobby!

Awesome! Thank you and welcome!

Yay!!! Glad you liked it!

@@2Tough I've watched a lot of your lore videos in the past year since getting into wargaming even though I had no interest in that army. This one was really cool how it put everything together so far in the overarching narrative. I still like 40k lore a bit more as AoS is still developing but it's cool seeing the new stories and characters emerge and everything develop. I decided on Deepkin first and my wife is thinking Slaanesh (booo Slaanesh bad elves good) and have been assembling my soul stealing elves while watching your lore series on them. :)

@Something Mildly Homophobic faithless monster

Aw thank you :)

Hey welcome and thank you!!

Awesome question! I havent read the stormcast book in a LOOOONG time but if i recall, Stardrakes return to the sky (Sort of reforging) and I have no idea for the Gry-chargers. But I'll look into it!

I did a full week :) go hit up my playlists!

Wait this sorta makes sense. What if AOS Sigmar is like Ulric. Lilith is the tree god (forget her name). Tyrion is Khaine, Teclas is Assurion, the Seraphon are the actual Old Ones, Malekith is maybe some other Eldar god, Nagash is a tomb kings god. While GorkaMorka is still just Gork and Mork

It's just 40k yeah

Emps couldn't handle Sigmar

Gotrek is just too cool to die. He is alive in his body. He just can't find a death glorious enough for him.

I skipped a lot to keep things simple for new folks, and pointed people towards the realmgate videos to cover the fate of the realms. As for Blightwar, it was a great box set, not a grand and overarching narrative like the Realmgate wars and Soul Wars

Welcome! So AOS is set several hundreds years after the events of the Old world. With that gap of time, the writers also expanded the style of fantasy, going form tolkien-ish to more of a heroic fantasy style :)

2+Tough hummm ok, I’ve been watching some of your videos on lore to try and catch myself up. Just finished the end of time video. I’ve got so many questions about characters and lore but you will most likely cover it all in your videos so I will carry on watching them all. 😊

Doc Bravo Both are cool in models and lore.

the tail end of this video touches on it and I have dedicated videos coming out soon!

THey are exactly the same (I assume for Intellectual Property reasons), but theres no link definitively made between the two settings :/

@@2Tough I see, thanks for clarifying. It's a shame though, some really cool possibilities lore wise if they actually wanted to expand upon this.

@@2Tough There is, however, a direct answer from Grombrindal about how Slaanesh was born in the 40k and got into the Old World and Age of Sigmar afterwards (White Dwarf magazine, June 2018, Ask Grombrindal column).

I believe it's inferred he doesn't remember anything. Really only the other gods seemed to remember, though perhaps not alarielle. They absolutely had to spend a lot of time remembering what they were about, so chaos popping up was probably something they didn't think, or forgot, would happen so suddenly after all this time.

I suspect most of the gods don't have clear memories of the Old World either - in Josh Reynold's books it often says how Nagash has, at best, fragmented memories of his past.

There will be! I hope to get it out next week!

@@2Tough awesome can't wait!

Tactical Dot: . Want to know as well

They can in very extreme circumstances (being in the realm of chaos, something stopping the soul from arching back, special weapons etc.) But this wasnt the place to go into the details, so i just directed folks to the Stormcast playlist that dives into it :)

Francisco Wagner Vermintide is set in the Old World which was the setting for the game Warhammer Fantasy. The Old World was destroyed in an event called the End Times. Age of Sigmar is what happens to the universe after the End Times.

Thank you for doing that!

@@2Tough you are very welcome my friend

There aren't Tomb Kings no
