Kragnos Awakens!: Broken Realms Kragnos lore 

I like how in changes to the status quo, AOS is creating entirely new characters. Broken Realms overall is a massive success

Unless Gotrek is having a pint at a local Excelcis Inn that city is screwed.

If Excelsis is still standing at the end of all this, they deserve a cookie. No, make it two.

It's a good time to be a fan of the Forces of Destruction.

I like to imagine that as Kragnos awakened, the Pillar Men theme was loudly blasting in the background

I think it's so cool that Kragnos doesn't try to overpower or dominate the greenskins, cause why does he care? They're just Orcs they don't matter. He's just like 'Ima go smash this city now, wanna come with?'

Am I the only one thinking that in a way, it's a shame that beastmen are inextricably tied to Chaos? I feel like that asthetic could have made for a really cool destruction faction. Destruction feels like such an "also ran" as a grand alliance. They need some more love. This, at least is a good step.

I love all the primordial races of the old world and the realms.

Man this makes me a 40 k player want to enter AoS

The kragnos model is just screaming for the user to make lewd greenstuff attachments

I get some Lobo (DC comics character) vibes from Kragnos: race of reasonable people who mostly got along with everyone until one day a jerk comes that ruins everything :P

Damn excelsis is not having a good day

First time I've heard the realmstone of Ghur; Amberstone mentioned! Would love to hear more about that in future stories, because Ghur is my favorite Realm and realmstone always has cool and crazy effects on people who are exposed to it.

BTW be sure to read the God of Earthquakes short story from the last friday. IT talks about how Kragnos still thinks his people are alive and goes there to find peace. At the same time Excelsis is at the other side of the prison mountain.

This is what happens when Calis and Toll leave for more than five minutes.

Doug: I need a break on Wednesday Reality: Kragnos didn’t have enough content to neatly divide into 5 videos

The canyon collapsing by the destruction armies clashing was clearly a sign from Gorkamorka. 'Ere we go, 'ere we go! It's cool to see how Kragnos does tie in with the destruction faction, the drum beats of him escaping his prison were referenced in a bunch of destruction short stories previously.

Kragnos's people seem very similar to the Dragon Ogres I wonder if they are related in some way?

I think it's a bit strange that the supposedly incredibly ancient species that Kragnos belongs to is technically much younger than any of the species from the Old World. I feel like it's just because most people in AoS don't have any idea about where they come from or who they originally were. Fimir, obscure as they are, were truly prehistoric, having civilization before the Old Ones even colonized the planet Warhammer Fantasy took place on, meaning the Fimir predated Elves, Slaan, Lizardmen, Dwarves, Trolls, and everybody else, but so few people even remember there ever was an Old World. It makes me wonder how far in the future AoS really is, there's a few hints that millions of years have passed since the End Times, ironically that info is provided by the one species that definitely doesn't keep records, the Troggoths. The Rockgut troggoth kit has fossils of what look to be the equivalent of precambrian mollusks, and the Dankhold troggoths have had massive stalagmites form on them over their tens of thousands of years of life (Some of those stalagmites have even had human skulls encased in them, including a 4 foot tall stalagmite that would take around 12,000 years to form, confirming the presence of humans in the realms for at least that long.).

The mystery unfolds

I don't know if it's been said here already but I think GW is calling Alarielle's ritual the Rite of Life

Once again thanks for the quality lore introduction

The meeting of Kragnos and Gordrakk fits the GW way of not dimensioning their heroes, Gordrakk does a few great things as does Kragnos. I'm sure eventually one of them will get a slap down till they come back stronger as is the way. Keeping us all interested in great characters to play out on the Table Top, great work again Doug

So, if you want to be a deity in AOS.... you can eat realm stones and godbeasts! :D Hmm...... I wonder if the Draconith return as mounts for the Seraphon. :D

I like how they explain Beastgrave and the time loop. Still not sure about the insect creatures in the novel that served Kragnos.

I'm just getting into AoS with the upcoming box (I really love those kruleboys), is this worth picking up for the story?

Seriously why the dislikes?

Glad to see Gordrakk didn't get jobbed out right as he was about to do what he'd spent an entire edition building up to. The guy is Gorkamorka's chosen representative he is the Archaon to Destruction in much the way Kragnos could be interpreted as a Greater Daemon of Destruction he is to Destruction as Skarbrand is to Chaos. Gordrakk is ultimately an Orruk Demi God literally made from the body of Gorkamorka himself... Just hope he gets another shot at doing something meaningful and doesn't get left to fade into the background without a further mention in this book.

Has anyone noticed that kragnos and Krakenrock the blacks stories are nearly identical? He’s like a Mike of Krakenrock and Cholec.

Can't wait until the next video

not only am i glad destruction got some awesome writing at least with BR since like, non of the armies got new rules, but also a awesome depiction of gordrakk and good and continue use of the kunnin in green skins, really a under used element of their racial character profile

Very good description thanks.

Ohhhh Excelsis... if only you knew the terror that is heading your way 💀

I just picked up on skagrott and Gordrack are gork and mork.

Was Kragnos' Tribe a part of the Breyherds that ruled before Sigmar came? So he's a Beastman technically speaking? Really feels weird to have a Centaur to be a God of Destruction, how would the Beastmen react if they saw him?

Centaur

The green skins version of suneater

How are the Draconith and Seraphon related species wise?

As someone who is completely new to AoS, any advice for where to start with the lore? Not sure which books/videos to start with..

I always understand his name as Crack noose I find it to be very funny 😅

The Draconith and Kragnos's peoples aren't extinct are they? I hope not

The fight is Kong vs Godzilla lol

What book is this from?

Anyone else make the connection to underworld: beastgrave?

He who stood before the world that was had been created. He who was there when his people were rused into eternal service. He who slept as the world burned. And he who with every step the realms shook. You think yourselves larger then life, mere mortals. Ha fools! For there is only one who is truly larger then life. And his name was Kragnos, for he was and is the end of empires...

I just hope he is not a one off character and that he does stuff in the future

He kinda reminds me of Kholek Suneater of the Old World

Great video. I have really enjoyed your telling of the Broken Realms material. Though I feel like they did my boy Gordrakk dirty in this one by turning him into a blunt brute without any nuance. #KragnosSucks

Well now I'm gonna imagine Kragnos being voiced by Robin Williams.

It's sad when the avg.AOS race is basicaly a copy paste of the 40k imperium: because now every faction has an "emperor on the golden throne" & 'becomes a god' convention, bruh...

So kolek but not kolek

horsie :)

.

This is somehow a WoW video now lol

Visually I used to really like him but hm... Not too keen anymore. Just a big centaur, nothing special about him really. Nothing particularly imaginative or overly interesting. Not bad, just not good either.
