      It would either only tell a story from one corner of the warhammer world (most likely the empire), or it would need to become a "cinematic universe" of epic proportions. I for one hope to sigmar it's the later

    What makes Warhammer lore so much more fascinating than most other fantasy lore is that it had many writers who often contradict each other, just like real history has many chroniclers that often contradict each others.

    You all should take a look at World of Darkness / Chronicles of Darkness Vampires. They are very much like the Warhammer vampires that choose to live hidden among humans. They are excellent roleplaying games...
    Wonder if I could just port one of those roleplaying games into the Warhammer Fantasy universe...

    Idk where it stands in the lore now, but in
    "Drachenfels: A Genevieve Novel", it's explained that there are vampire strains that change how some of them are killed by steaks or can't cross whatever or so on. This also reflects the models well.

    I don’t know if it works this way in _Warhammer,_ but I like to think that sufficiently sized bodies of water have their own ley lines/flow of magic/whatever that breaks through the magic fields of the land next to them, and since vampires are so incredibly magical and have magically enhanced senses, suddenly passing out of the magic field they’re currently ‘tuned’ to into one that is very different is an extremely disruptive and disorientating experience. You’re chasing some insignificant bloodbag and are just about to catch it when all your senses are blasted with static, you’ve completely lost any frame of reference as to the spatial dimensions you are currently occupying, and you’re experiencing an overall sensation somewhat similar to that experienced by people who’ve had the misfortune of closing an electric circuit with their own bodies.

  • @chaostheory6283
    @chaostheory6283 5 лет назад +2

    Just a weird, random question. Can vampires in warhammer consume human food/drinks? I know most fiction says vampires can't; in some it even kills them. Is there any clear example of a vampire eating to blend into human society in warhammer?

    • @jumbothick2984
      @jumbothick2984  5 лет назад +2

      So, their actually are examples of this in several of the novels. A fresh vampire will throw up any food and liquid it consumes and it acts almost like a poison. However, if it is mixed with blood they can consume it. It does not have to be human blood either. But, an older more experienced vampire can stifle the more negative effects of being dead and will not immediately retch if it is forced to consume food socially, though they will have to expel it later.

    One other small thing, and PLEASE don't take this as a sign of massive criticism/hate. I have been noticing that in a couple of your previous videos, you have gone into HYPER MODE. What I mean by that, is the fact that you just started to spurt lines out at increasing speed. I do not try to speak for the whole community, but... In my humble opinion, you really do get the point across much better, when you take you time. Honestly man you have this INCREDIBLE narrator voice, and when you go into full turbo, it just really seems to lose its charm. I mean perhaps I'm sounding like a condescending idiot, yet I must say that I really don't mind if your videos go on for an extra 5-8 minutes, just because you take your time with things. Please take this on board as a bit of constructive criticism. P.S. We love you MR.Thick and we all hope that you new born daughter is doing well :-)

      The lady of the lake makes them drink a magic elixir from the grail. I believe the chaos warriors drink a similar elixir in their inception. Basically the argument comes from the question of whether or not the lady of the lake can be considered an offshoot of chaos gods.
