The Warhammer Fantasy End Times EXPLAINED by an Australian - Entire Plot and Lore 

Stop removing this video RU-vid, I know it's shit but come on

I got into warhammer fantasy as soon as the lore was murdered, 10/10 would crush my soul again.

So, if I understand correctly, basically every important character died, escaped or turned into something. Also gods shows up. And then Skaven basically finally notices the fact that they are OP.

"We can't copyright dwarves and elves so let's just kill off decades of lore to sell new miniatures."

"The only thing keeping this wall up is the faith of the empire in me. Imma start practicing my new dark magic by the VIP tents."

People are right. The End Times is really, really bad.

I learned a bunch of lore AND was thoroughly entertained. Good job, my dude.

And then they NUKED THE MOON

I am sad that GW decided to just blow up the Warhammer world in the most moronic way possible, instead of maybe doing it right or expanding the lesser nations of the Warhammer world. In the end, either way would've better than what they did.

When you ignore a beloved series for ten years, and then decide to take a peek at what's going on now.

So, technically the lizards survived since some them straight up just left.

"the dwarves were pretty disorganised in the way they were slewn" hahahahahahaha

“The shadowking is a bit of a memer” lmao

good god the end times were about as well put together as the middle east

It’s like Tyrion was the only sane and good-hearted person left? Yes desperate times call for desperate measures but holy fuck Teclis did a lot of backstabing and betrayal.

>corporate execs: let's shatter the existing lore so we can grab copyrights and boost model sales Also corporate execs: let's release popular triple A titles using the old lore which will want to get people into the older models

End Times final battle: Grimgore nut checks Archeon That's the high point, we can go home now.

Taken out of context this sounds like the work of a schitzophrenic

gw was like wait the lizardmen empire almost alone took on most of chaos in the first invasion, they have mages that can wipe our armies and move mountains with their mind and super powerful armies how should we deal with them. we can just say all their armies are gone and all their slann are sleeping. that's lazy af notice the world got ruined by chaos but they never even set foot in lustria the children of the old ones would have butchered them

"The Shadow King is a bit of a memer. So he also shot Malekith for laughs"

A potentially great lore ruined by greedy corporate a-holes so that they can implement their own version of the game. The biggest BS in this is: how can chaos armies (living in lands lacking food and wealth) out-number and-out equipped the established economies in the south (with all their farms and technology). The original lore builders are weeping, all their beautiful world building wasted.

How the Elves can have so many armies, when they're basically a dying race?!

Started getting really into the warhammer fantasy lore, and everyone kept saying, "fuck the end times." Wasn't fully sure why aside from the usual "everybody dies" comment I got. But after watching your video that did a pretty good summary of what happened, I can also now say, ya "fuck the end times." The Grimgor kicking the Everchosen in the nuts was probably the only good/funny moment out of the end times. Awesome vid as well.

I heard that the end times was shit writing, but damn. At least you made it entertaining.

The Arch Warhammer bit had me in Stitches. I'm willing to pay $1000 for somebody to animate this video with your narration.

you know, listening to this, the thought struck me, that at any point any emperor of the empire of man could have wiped out almost all the skaven by just finding an opening to the under empire by the sea, build a canal to it, then flood the entire under-empire in one go, drowning most of the species.

28:40 28:56 I think there was a loop in the editing there, mate. Great lore video though, didn't even know half of the shitshow that was the end times so it's nice to know more of the downward spiral into age of sigmar.

Basicaly: endtime comes, elves don't care and keep infighting. All plots resolved, chaos useless background. The villain saves the day, while all the good guys get a brain meltdown and turn batshit crazy... Figures. I believe the wrters asked themselves: "what's so outside everyone's expectations they'll never see it coming?" The answer being: something so awfully bad no one in their right mind would believe anyone would be going for it. Retconning the storm of chaos where Archaon lost and should have died to go on whith this clusterf*ck is a move that still baffles me. The only amusing thing is Endtimes = Vermintide with just a smidge of chaos added on top; don't underestimate the rats :p

One thing that confuses me the most is that, here in the End Times the Chaos Dwarfs are entirely wiped out and Hashut is killed, but in Age of Sigmar they're both still around (with the Chaos Dwarfs being called the Legion of Azgorh)

Sigmar turns Karl into the God-Emperor of mankind... then goes on to make his Stormcast Eternals [Thunder Warriors/Custodes] after meeting a Star Dragon [Void Dragon of Mars] and uniting the forces of the old world to crusade against Chaos..

The End Times summed up: **throws miniatures and lore books on the ground, then pulls down pants** HHHUUUURRGGGHH **explosive diarrhea all over the WHFB pile** . Then LucasFilm thought it was such a good idea, they decided to do it to Star Wars, with a side of feminism.

So basically the Skaven learned how to achieve their final form, cooperation, who would have thought? Teclis betrayed everyone, and irronically it kinda ends up working.... except Saving Tyrion that kinda fucked things up. Elves were led by the rightful king.... who was also not a good person at all. Karl Franz can seemingly survive anything, wow. Lizardmen experienced a nerf so hard, they decided it was better to just leave the planet or die to aids and space crap. Brittonia died, and sort of showed up only to die again anyway. Nagash is back but nerfed enough that he needs to cooperate with the rest of the world. All the minor factions can just fuck off and die. Dwarves Pretty much died as well. Greenskins bashed some heads, then teleported to the final battle and bashed some more heads. But all this could have been good.... except Mannfred completely lost his mind for seemingly no reason, truly he is not just the scourge of the empire but the scourge of the world. Nice job dumby.

15:52 the Orcs probably hate chaos because they think that their worshippers are cheating. For Chaos they get super powers to fight for their gods. But the Orcs don’t get help, they fought their way, tooth and nail, to be “Da Best in da world!” Fuck chaos, I’m proud of you Grimgor.

I lost it at "Asian and normal people" XD

I still can't fathom how the Elves can muster world-spanning armies if they're going the way of the dodo (like all Elves in fiction), or why in the fuck would they allow the psychopath who wanted to destroy them to be their king.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but you left out one of my favorite bits of Skaven lore, on why clan Pestilens has such a hate-boner for the Lizardmen. It used to be that Clan Pestilens was becoming a wholly united Skaven superpower, as they were effectively lead by the Plague Priests in devotion to spread disease and enact the horned Rat's will (He's moving in on Nurgle's turf). The other Skaven clans were afraid of how powerful Pestilens was becoming, and Pestilens launched a fucking massive invasion of Lustria that would of destroyed the Lizardmen (you have no idea how many fucking Skaven there are). The Slann saved themselves by calling down meteorite storms that shattered the Pestilens might, and again balanced the factions in Skaven politics. Pestilens might of conquered the whole world if this had not happened, so they must of been begging to lead the invasion of Lustria during the End-Times.

I just love the way this video so closely emulates the direction Warhammer Fantasy itself took as time passes...

The end times reads like Timmy’s first fan fiction. Just gonna pretend it’s not cannon.

What i got from this was Manfred was the real bringer of the end times.

Imagine if Bethesda ever did something like this to the Elder Scrolls that would be absolutely heartbreaking

Been a fan of Bretonnia since 2003, and it really chafes my nads the way that GW treated them as an afterthought.

Completely cracked up at 'Lick my rim ****, Settra does not serve, Settra rules.'

“They were very unorganized in the way they were slaughtered “ lmfao

This was horribly rushed, I almost want to say the lizardmen could have been handled better, perhaps revealing the slans huge amount of power is connected to the geomantic we , the skaven or some other faction sabatages it and the slann suddenly lose much of their power, even Kroak and Mazdammundi. It also drastically powers down the powerful weapons the lizardmen have access to and makes them overall weaker never knowing they were connected to the web more than they ever knew. Then that would have nerfed them to more acceptable levels and allowed them to take part in the final battle. As for mannfred, it really doesn't make sense. He basically just gives up. He's not one to just give up from what I can tell, and he wants to take over the Empire, so why not think "If we stop Chaos I'll have my chance later down the road, I am immortal after all" but nope he out of sheer plot convenience decides to betray the very world he wants to conquer and ruins everything for everyone besides Chaos.

Been a fan of 40K for years. Just now starting to look into Fantasy lore after getting Total War Warhammer 2 and Vermintide 2. And as much shit End Times deservedly gets, this is mind blowing to me. “Hey, y’know Malekith, the Dark Elf lord? Yeah, he told his mom to fuck off, he pulled a scorched earth retreat into Ulthuan, and immediately declared himself king of all elves, which apparently was divinely ordained.” “Holy shit, that’s cool.” “Also, you know Alarielle?” “The High Elf lord that looks like a Google image search of “hot elf” would pull up?” “That’s the one. So anyway, she goes to the Oak of Ages where their goddess is pitching a fit, so she absorbs her, gains the loyalty of Orion and all the wood elves, and then teleports back to Ulthuan to marry Malekith.” “Didn’t he send a Slaaneshi demon to kill and rhymes with grape her?” “Yep.” “And we’re not gonna comment on that and just accept it?” “Yep.” “Fair enough.”

This is the best WH Fantasy lore video in the history of WH Fantasy lore videos, probably ever.

Do a video on your moms lost virginity. Or Malekith that is good too.

I thought I was having a stroke when you went over Valten’s assassination twice.

This video feels like it was made in the early 2000s. I'm having Australian high school flashbacks.

Nothing like joining a new fandom and finding out its finale ended 4 years ago with the entire setting being destroyed and rebooted And that everyone hates the ending

Something inside of me is pleased that the last realm to fall was Athel Loren, protected by the best heroes of the elven race. This was the aspect of Warhammer fantasy which intrigued me most. Primal, elemental magic. Where was the revelations about the creation of the old(Warhammer fantasy) world? Where was the reveal of the "Old Ones" and their role in creating the supposed universe? Who were the "Old Ones" and how were they able to build a temporary world caught in the balance between Chaos corruption and Freedom of will? Why did their plan ultimately fail? Were the "Old Ones" of warhammer fantasy the Eldar of Warhammer 40k?

What they did to my lizard men was a crime

Warhammer: It's all Teclis and Manfred's fault.

This deserves a remaster

I honestly wouldn't mind most of the End Times stuff except for literally everything involving Mannfred. That final betrayal is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of

Watching this before playing Warhammer 3 was actually a great idea cause I have no clue what the fuck is going on in that world besides demons being dickheads to everyone

This video was better than the End Times.

The end times is just GW's real life version of the space marine autism screech. Do you know what this means guys and girl? FOR THE EMPORAHHH!!!!1!1

The skaven nuking the moon is literally the most skaven thing I have ever heard.

Did he say asians and normal people at the start of the video?

God they better reverse this shit somehow. The writing was so bad during the End Times that it wouldn't take much to bring everything back to normal. "hehe everyone came back to life and lizards came back :)" I like rats though, keep the rats.

Hey Major, I've watched all your End Times videos and I love them, could you make one about how the End Times should've been?

What happened to Durthu? I've been playing as him in Total War and he's pretty damn sick.

Fuck GW. I started collecting Bretonians as my first army. Such a cool premise for an army I thought that wasn't your standard 'Empire' yet not too far fetched like skaven or vampires. Not once were they updated or given new miniatures while all the other factions got revamp after revamp. Kill them off 100% or give them as much attention as everyone else. I don't even collect Warhammer anymore but it still pisses me off how my bois got treated. Green Knight is a G. Won me sooo Manny battles.

I can't hate the end times too much. It's what got me into Warhammer. Thanks vermintide

Settra does not surf HE ROLLS

Respect Cathay !

Wait, they just kidnapped the fay enchantress? wat? The most important person in Bretonnia was just kidnapped willy nilly? and they slit her throat, was that is? The woman who can turn people into frogs just by looking at them was the equivalent of a lamb. wat? I'm sorry could someone explain to me how this happened?

I think a full power Nagash and his armies are more than enough to take on the forces of chaos

This one is very long and complicated story. you really make a good job for making this majorkill.

Nice to see all that work I put into defending Ubersreik from the Vermintide was worth it.

Balthazar Gelt inadvertently causing Teclis to explode while they're tying to do great magic is so funny to me

This is like an audio book version of 1d4chan

I watching this cause vermintide 2. Holy shit i haven't even scratch the surface.

Can we all just Agree Queek did not at all deserve the pitiful sendoff he got?

always love these vids, keep it up

So to summarize the End Times, 14 year olds shouldn't drink and write?

my boy ikit claw mvp. he soloed the moon lol

It would have been cool to see mazdamundi or another LM Lord got to be an incarnate due to how OP they would be

You hit the nail right on the head! The End Times just hurts my head.

The best ending to this fuckery would have been once the world was consumed by Chaos a Space Marine armada shows up and performs an exterminatus, then moves on to wherever they were going next. Then the people who made the End Times plot all died of stroke.

Like I said in a previous comment, your channel got me into Warhammer but as far as I've learned (lore wise) the End Times seems about as enjoyable as getting shovel fucked with a rusty shovel. Games Workshop really fucked off a good opportunity for something glorious with the clusterfuck that is the End Times.

You really didn't need to go 35 minutes into this. Here, I'll help you with a better summary: "It's shit"

Man I love going back to your old videos. the best

About the LM you forgot to mention that they lost none of the battles, exept the ones where they baited skaven jews with gold to group them up in the city, before a skink priest sent a comet on their head killing them all. Yeah... they actually won the war, the skavens were just desperated and attacked Hexoalt with their entire army, if it wasnt for the moon, their entire army would have been slay, since Skrolk had been killed by kroq gar leaving them without leadership. Just a bit of a correctif :)

And how exactly almost everyone survived to age of shitmar? They just got bored of being dead?

"Mm. nice one Malekith I approve." LOL

Hey MajorKill I love what you did in this video. Thank you for making the funniest explanation of the end times! I was wonder if you could perhaps play warhammer 3, because I could see your hilarious commentary over the battles

How bouta we just declare this uncannon and no one can do anything against it.

What shall we do? GW Writers: Make them a God and then everyone blows up.

for me the end times is so terrible that i will for ever refuse to accept it as a canon. im not a fan of the empire but i am a forever hater of chaos.i will never accept the victory of these abominations and wretched men whose vision is to make everything anathema. for me the battles still continiue on the world without an end yet just as 40k.

You go over the same lines twice at 28:30. Still, really great video dude loved all the visuals that were put in. I keep hearing the end time books were bad but the way you told the story in the IDGAF and straight-to-the-point way kept me really interested

Not my Lizard Bois!! The End Times really did them dirty.

I'm only superficially aware of the Warhammer lore through Total War but this End Times stuff sounds to be on the level of Game of Thrones Season 8.

Excellent vids, keep up the good work

Man what a bummer, Chaos really gets kind've idk... Lame. I enjoy Chaos when they make a badass win, outsmart someone. But GameWorkshop seems to try to act like light and balance IS a thing but then only show the failure and destruction of everything they create. Sure bringing a hammer to a watermelon is nice one or two times, but it's not exactly art~ or even skilled. Gameworkshop needs to learn how to better manage Good and Evil, sure good doesn't have to always win, but if this is a basically ever existing phenomenon then when does light exactly kick some ass? Does getting fresh worlds and reincarnations count cause thats just a fucking boring as chaos just pulling the hack.exe permal 20/20 dice roll for everything.

This was really funny and informative, but when you dropped the "n" word with the hard R that really threw me off lol

So have you done a video on the gods of fantasy and 40k connections? Or the seperate realities connecting at all?

I'm not a fan of Elves from any fantasy setting, but damn I feel bad for Tyrion. He really got the shaft, quite literally too.

New to warhammer this is amazing
