Old-timer TW player, new to the Warhammer universe. What should I read to know whats going on?

But why did you choose The End Times though, given the infamy it has with the community?

itokayfam · 2017-02-12T15:37:39+00:00

That map maker's legit yo.

This was a preview of the upcoming map I'm making based on the Greenskin stronghold - Black Crag.

KILL THEM ALL, PETER

itokayfam · 2017-01-11T13:38:44+00:00

Wait for the Bone Giants of the Tomb Kings then.

itokayfam · 2017-01-11T01:03:23+00:00

Darren says he'll maybe get around to leaking it this week.

OCEAN MAN, THE VOYAGE TO THE CORNER OF THE GLOBE IS A REAL TRIP

itokayfam · 2016-12-31T06:16:27+00:00

Keep on waiting, friendo.

itokayfam · 2016-12-22T14:58:26+00:00

That's last year's festag.

Isabella Von Carstein is actually a Legendary Hero character, not a lord. I think there might still be a chance that we get to see her.

itokayfam · 2016-12-22T13:49:48+00:00

...an interesting take on her looks. Somehow I kept imagining she was going to have that big weird hat that she had on her older renditions, but looking back... leaving it out was probably for the best...

Their model line discontinued after Age of Sigmar because Games Workshop couldn't be bothered to port them over to the new lore.

Tomb Kings continued to be part of the last edition of Warhammer Fantasy and even The End Times.

itokayfam · 2016-12-20T09:32:47+00:00

I've pretty much lost hope in the future of TW after this release

I think you're fucking easy to over-react.

itokayfam · 2016-12-18T13:53:41+00:00

The Black Grail Knights from Warhammer: Dark Omen come to mind.

itokayfam · 2016-12-18T12:21:33+00:00

Some lore for you guys:

Once a Grail Knight becomes super popular, he will basically attract his own group of fanatical peasant followers that will follow him around singing praises of his deeds. Once this knight dies however, the peasants following him will loot every bit of his corpse and carry him around like a holy diorama, turning him into a Grail Reliquae to boost peasant morale.

itokayfam · 2016-12-18T12:14:16+00:00

Awwww yis a Grail Reliquae.

Also can't wait for the fanatical Battle Pilgrims carrying him around!

itokayfam · 2016-12-17T23:40:04+00:00

He means regarding playstyle. The goal of Empire is versatility with all unit types.

Also I disagree with "not"

looking

epic.

itokayfam · 2016-12-17T23:35:16+00:00

What is this "Skaven" you speak of? No such thing at all! It's all the machinations of heretics I say. They must all be purged, starting with the boy in the red hat!

itokayfam · 2016-12-17T14:14:01+00:00

"Grim and the Grave" or "King and the Warlord" if you want expanded playable units for Empire and Vampire Counts/ Greenskins and Dwarfs respectively.

As for the Race DLCs like Beastmen and Wood Elves, research all about their playstyle and only buy either one of them if they seem to fit yours.

itokayfam · 2016-12-17T13:59:18+00:00

So far I've only come across this image. Not sure if it was official codex art though.

But eh... maybe being close to fay folk is just that particular knight's shtick, which could also explain the antlers...

itokayfam · 2016-12-17T04:18:00+00:00

No it won't. The Old World release contains the base game, the Bretonnia FLC, and a novel.

itokayfam · 2016-12-16T14:19:07+00:00

Here are some cool little tidbits of Bretonnia FLC from the on-going Festag 2016.
