    Why would Malekith do something like this? I mean, he is prideful, but also smart. And even Morathi seemed to become aware of the danger. So, why act so recklessly?
    You know, I'm starting to understand why Warhammer fans hated the End Times.

      ​@@nikoladedic6623 yea, then treating him like sh!t during the final battle. Even if his fate thru the centuries was a struggle to make him deserving of the phoenix throne, Malekith paralyzed in the end cheapened it. Also, poor seraphon, lost his identity and became an AOS faction!

      I think Gav Thorpe did an excellent job with Malekiths story. Imrik siding with him was a great twist as well, considering the 3rd book in Tale of the Sundering, Caledor

    I swear, the End Times character assassinated every character in the lore:
    Teclis being a manipulative prick who betrays everyone, while in the lore he is one of the most altruistic Elves who sees how all the races are in this together.
    Morathi telling Malekith that pursuing the path of the Phoenix King would be renouncing her, when it was she who set him on that path in the first place.
    And finally the Slaan shielding the lesser races instead of Lustria.

      Its the end of the story. Not throwing it away...
      Its more like saying that you are gonna die either way so why cant I kill you, and if I do why cant I choose even the most cruel option?
      It IS a big deal how you end the story because that is the most important part of the story. All those books you read is to reach this point to see where it all gonna end... And now its dumb. This can ruin reading even in retrospec. You feel the time reading the previous books wasted because in the end they just threw away everthing in this way.
      Achilles died in battle. How dumb the story would be if his death was from food poisining in the end. Then why did you bother, or why did you care wether he will succed or not.

      Skrolk didn't die, he was saved by the Verminlord Vermalanx at the last moments. It's unknown where he went, although it's likely he was among the founders of the "modern" Clans Pestilens in Blight City. I theorise he might have become a Verminlord himself, maybe Sepskrik the Foul, but who knows really.

    You missed the best part of the Skaven invasion: to conquer Tlaxtlan, the skaven sent wave after wave of skaven at the walls. The first wave had nowhere to go, so they were crushed by the second, who were in turn crushed by the third, and so on until so many skaven died that the latter waves could just walk over the bodies to climb the wall. And they still conquered the city.

    The video is great, ammount of effort put into the writing, animation and voiceacting is truely incredible.
    But I personally prefer focusing more in detail on the campains and battles insted of glossing over the details like many already existing lore videos do. Of course in this case it's imposiible but the battle of Itza is still my favourite part of this video
    I know that its still warhammer but I would love some Age of Sigmar. But covering later or even present campaines to dissosiate it from the End Times and the WHFB in general. AoS is good enough to stand on its own!

    2.Half of the force assaulting Xlanahuapec wanders around in the mists of the city and gets slaughtered in a trillion ambushes
    The other half pushes into the city but a reinforcing lizard army butchers them.
    3. Itza almost falls after a kill ratio of like 100 to 1 but a HUGE reinforcement army comes and slaughtered them to a rat.

    Are Lizardmen... good guys? Always thought they were evil.

      they are neither good nor evil. it just so happens to be that e.g. human and elves are part of the great plan and skaven or chaos arent, which is why the latter will be killed while the other order factions will be tolerated. Lizardmen are more of a "force of nature" than anything else.

      They are defenders of the world and fight chaos at all sides. Neutral good.

      They are essentially biological Anti-Chaos machines.
      They are "technically" on the side of good but are so dogmatic and alien-minded that they can easily be villains from multiple perspectives. But they mainly hate and want to kill Chaos and other bad races, and are generally fine with good races as long as they don't act out of line.

    I’m into 40K - except personally WF never appealed to me for someone reason; I deeply appreciate the work of portraying equivalent nations - as the portrayed themselves - with, the direct opposite, as the additions directly outta the pulpyiest pulps pastiches as the major filter to inform where to refer for inspiration; Unlike going straight to the dense materials for a comprehensive knowledge regarding the role of the Elf in folktales during 800 BCE - 1.100 AC, and it’s five thick ass bricks that someone pilled in a tower by the basement and that’s the most fantastic shit about it. The layers upon layers of spider-web seems evocative of something… Fuck it, stroll to an used books store, pick a little of 1920s/1930s some of the 1950s of course; The 1960’s and 1970’s are a granted of course. None of those books have any particular relevance, but it’s about the characters they are retelling, the “true” stories. Next book will tell differently, but it’s that retelling that matters most.
    Next thing you know you are arriving coke-filled at your job at GW, writing gig. They ask for ideas and say “go wild” and next thing you know you go: A race of literally magic plagued ratpeople for representing the fear of the Black Death; Take England and France and just marry them already, we are getting sick of this. Also, I have watched a whole lot of Monty Python and have the Lady Of The Lake be like Pope-Jesus, idk; Also: South America - Jungle, lizard guys (not the white colar, secretly controlling the world, that’s a goner, no one will even remember that 40 years in from now; But a dope Barbarian style lizard man? Can’t go wrong with a classic; Have the Amazons - the warriors - be in the Amazon Forrest, that’s the shit it always bothered me; Dope, if someone in the department of Social Studies or Anthropologies somewhere, just call the people in Semiotics, Scriptwriting, those freaks that walk up and down with “Hero Of A Thousand Faces” under their armpits, say we are dabbling in “meta-referencial” and “repurposing old iconography through inserting it in different contexts” you kn- Yeah they do talk like this on the daily. But then again, it’s 1980s, pay tribute to a paper from a random college students who got wildly popular in the media that by the time you heard it reportedly had 10 different possibilities heads, 30 confirmed to have been fake - And pretty much that’s mainstream politics now. Imagine! I can barely get bye today, That’s where we end up, there won’t be coke enough in the planet to keep me going three days straight! Yeah, of course I know how it goes, corporate hours are over, clock out, for all intents and purposes all clean!
    What was I pitching here anyway? Ohhh, Fantasy Game! So, hear me out: There’s five color-coded types of cards, each color corresponding to a mechanic we call it “Mana”… Wh-what do you mean it’s not a Trading Card? A what? Tabletop? That’s a new one! But it’s not RPG? Oh, popular in England?! About to pull the rug out of the bri’sh and show how we do it! I cannot believe that I’m with WOTC now… Excuse- What do you mean “right here in London?” I noticed the “accents” but they are so freakishly yet comical I thought we were having a little fun… It was that or I had a stroke, beca- what? you speak like that? no-no-no-no, that’s not a thing, that’s what you expect a Ork to sound… Yeah! Put that in the movie… Or whatever you get the ideas for doing with that as you would, and I get paid acc… You actually shouted “Security Unleash the dogs”?

    God, do I hate what they did to Warhammer Fantasy.
    I started playing with the 5th edition as child. And 20 years later everything goes to shit to respawn an uninteresting, new game - reusing some races and names, but changing everything else.
