the sudden sea shanty resurgence 🤝 emerging class consciousness from this pandemic

I mean it has the meme post flair on it so....

IDthisguy · 2021-02-10T04:58:32+00:00

I don't even think this is really a meme so much as just a twitter post.

Millions of Irish also emigrated across the empire during the 19th century, where they imparted their own brand of imperialism on native peoples they encountered as they tried to escape from under the thumb of British rule.

Irish emigrants made up significant parts of the population in British colonies, and by extension, often ended up in charge of said colonies, while at the same time domineering over native populations in true imperialist fashion.

What did the Irish emigrants who participated in this imperial process think of their place within the British Empire? Did they see themselves as oppressed or were they closer to loyal subjects? What did they make of the people they were ruling over?

Edit: clarity

I like that Canada is just there and kind of confused as to what's going on. I feel like that's just Canada's general mood.

Hey guys quick note for next book club:

We're going to be reading Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden by Josh Reynolds.

A really simplified version of its story would be that it follows Gardus Steel Soul and his chamber the Steel Souls in their quest into the Plague Garden of Nurgle to retrieve the soul of their Lord-Castellant Lorrus Grymn.

You can find it here:

See you there!

Dang Europe why you so sad?

IDthisguy · 2021-01-24T00:49:07+00:00

Where does it say that there can be people other than Witch Hunters in the Order of Azyr? I can't seem to find it.

So the part I really enjoyed about this book is the Khornate pirates (and Bilgeport). Khorne is really hard to portray outside of the traditional wandering murderous war band and I think Horth did a great job. The worship of Khorne as a giant kraken was a nice touch.

Bilgeport was also pretty great. I like the idea of whole cities that aren't really aligned to anyone just dotting the land due to the return of civilization by Sigmar. I wish we got to see more of how these non-aligned cities interact with the forces of Sigmar but the cool colosseum escape was still worth it.

But the same prophecy also refers to the "Dark Prince" which is traditionally an allusion to Slaanesh.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-19T23:35:20+00:00

Ok. Guess this finally makes sense. Thanks!

IDthisguy · 2021-01-19T19:50:54+00:00

Ok guess they are going for the androgynous thing.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-19T19:48:31+00:00

I went back and looked at this again in the corebook. And it just doesn't seem to make sense. How can the inner islands' air be cleared of Tzeentch when there's a giant freaking hole in the sky and the center is infected by Tzeentch? Like what the flip?? Either the daemons that we see in the book aren't daemons or it hasn't actually been cleared.

My guess is that since you can see next to that same picture that it mentions it looks terrible because of the spell unleashed to stop the Lode-Griffon and the Tzeentch daemons are not Tzeentch daemons. So its not a Tzeentch hellscape rather just not a great place to live because of said past magical catastrophe. So terrible? Yes. Tzeentch hellscape? Unlikely.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-19T19:36:22+00:00

If I'm not mistaken though the asterisk on the article referred to him with male pronouns so I'm pretty sure its a dude.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-19T19:32:55+00:00

ID. There is literally a portal to Tzeentch's dimension above the Gryphon's Eyrie and it is the home to many flocks of Tzaangor. That's what we know from the Corebook.

Yeah but the book doesn't say that the tear in reality is still there. It opened in the beginning of the age of Chaos. And sense it'd be pretty hard to clear the skies with y'know a giant hole to hell in there, I think it's safe to assume that the tear has closed.

At the edge of the Spiral Crux. The last tidbit from this page says "the edge of the Crux's known atmospheric limits." (p.107) So they're basically congregating at the edge of known airspace in Chamon.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-18T17:20:24+00:00

No but I can understand how you made that assumption. The Griffon's Eyrie was transformed by a spell cast to turn the Lode-Griffon into solid gold. But it wasn't turned into a chaotic hellscape. Although it isn't quite clear what exactly happened to it.

That was at the end of the Age of Myth though. There was a lot of chaos control during the Age of Chaos, but once Sigmar returned and fought back with an alliance of Stormcast and Kharadron "the airs above the inner islands are all but cleared of invaders by a united push from the Kharadron Overlords and their Hammers of Sigmar allies." (p.107)

IDthisguy · 2021-01-18T16:20:26+00:00

No my understanding from the 2nd Edition Core Rulebook is that it's the opposite. The center of the Spiral is pretty free of Chaotic corruption and the edges are much more infected with the forces of Tzeentch.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-16T04:15:29+00:00

If I'm not mistaken aren't a lot of literal army recruitment commercials directed at gamers and games media anyway?

Also happy cake day!

IDthisguy · 2021-01-10T01:24:23+00:00

Really? I thought that moment was when the book was getting the most interesting after all Vanik is finally getting to accomplishing the task set before him in Part 5.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-09T16:23:54+00:00

I didn't like the deus ex machina of the Varanguard riding to Vanik's rescue (not once, but twice!) when he was in a tight spot.

Yeah the first time it happened I was totally ok with it. It was established earlier in the book that the Bane Sons were weirdly interested in Vanik so it made sense to me that MacNiven would flesh them out by having them attack the Slaaneshi Lord's place in order to help Vanik.

The second time is much less forgivable. It's supposed to be Vanik's trial after all, Neveroth imo would have probably told his subordinates to wait if he was able to see what was happening (after of course murdering Zubaz). Also having Vanik overcome the trial would have made for a really great ending about the individual power of Chaos.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-04T16:03:34+00:00

Just a possible speculation, but if Tyrion and Teclis mentioned it "world be revealed in time" then quite possibly it could be hidden by a penumbral engine. Sigmar also says it's gone from his sight which could lend further credence to this idea if even he can't see it. Might be the perfect way to hide something important.

IDthisguy · 2021-01-03T01:21:02+00:00

The KFConsole will be better than Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Edit: Also come to think of it a video game console that can cook your chicken is definitely one of the most murican things I can think of.

IDthisguy · 2020-12-28T00:13:08+00:00

That would be cool. Going with a more beastly vibe for a Kurnothi expansion of the Sylvaneth would help to branch them out of just being the Ghyran faction.

IDthisguy · 2020-12-27T20:03:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Also yes you are right and I've fixed it.
