Good luck with your depression!
I don't know why but some of the most fun I've had in this series is wrecking the planet as Wulfrik. Got to watch as he personally slew the poo poo out of Known Mondo Dork Archaon on the field of battle. Can't believe it even offered me the option to join, Wulfrik is the clearly the true favorite of the dark gods.

Most Elves in the levees of Ulthuan aren't thousands of years old, they might be 100 or 200 tops. Pretty sure Tyrion and Teclis aren't even over 500. Elves are always getting into so many fights that most of their older folks are either at home wounded or dead.

On thing I like about Warhams is that the elves are as fallible and dumb as everyone else, with added gullibility because they are so convinced of their own superiority.

I thought that couldn't be right, but then I just looked at a timeline. The Colleges of Magic, which were founded by Teclis when he was good enough at magic to do that, were founded in 2304, about 200 years before Karl Franz's coronation in the "present." That's not that long at all in the history of the Empire.

Malekith and Morathi are over 5000.

In the RPG the average starting age for a PC elf is somewhere between 30 and 60. They'll all TELL you they've been doing whatever they're doing for centuries and have attained absolute perfection but most of them just aren't that crazy old. They're just bullshitting to sound better than they are. Which is normal elf behavior.

skink LL with one man band kroxigor mount when?

they need to backport grom's ability to attack while leaving melee to all other mounted lords. right now a horse mount just seems to get your melee lord trapped and killed. they're impossible to charge cycle because they can't get out of an infantry blob, and your guy won't attack while trying to leave which makes no sense. the horse is trying to run away, why can't the guy on its back melee attack while that happens? it would also clear a path to escape so you could potentially charge cycle a lord.

Yeah I appreciate that the warhammer elves really pay for their arrogance. Sure some of them can back it up, but it basically always leads them into trouble. Which makes me root harder for the arrogant bastards because when they do back up their claims it's usually awesome.

I have come, as I have come to you over four centuries ago. Four lifetimes in your reckoning, yet less than a generation in ours. Though the people of the Phoenix King have their own woes, the time has come again when our paths must cross, for the fate of the world hangs in balance. No race can stand against the threat that gathers in the cold wastes of the north. Not alone will the mighty numbers of men, nor the stone walls of the dwarfs, nor the fleets of Ulthuan hold back the tide of darkness if we are divided.

(They talk about it in the first two minutes.)

For the upcoming Troy, Menelaus has a mechanic where he can recruit units from any faction that he is in good standing with. I hope this is a test for Dogs of War in Warhammer, it would really fit their playstyle. Imagine if Dogs of War were the pre-order faction for Warhammer 3, that would be pretty nuts, and it would make sense considering they would mesh with the existing warhammer 2 factions perfectly.

Don't give up on Morgan Bernhardt and the Grudgebringers just yet.

the centigor milk from grom's cauldron is CLEARLY a hint about the next lord dlc



the milk is cum -> ghorros warhoof is a centigor who loves to cum (canon) -> the next lord pack is ghorros warhoof

How do you milk a 'boy'?

Or do orcs just not have proper understandings of gender? Because they have none.

This might actually be it, everyone is a "boy" to the orcs. I'm more familiar with 40k ork physiology, but I think fantasy orcs are probably similar. They are essentially fungus that release spores wherever they go and, especially when they die they tend to infect the area, leading to snotlings, the most basic type of greenskin, forming first who sort of "farm" the other mushrooms and help them develop into more complex versions.

the 40k explanation of orcs coming from spores got kinda backported to fantasy. now the canon explanation of how greenskins got to warhammer fantasy world is that their spores hitched a ride on one of the Old Ones ufos.

which kind of makes the old ones look like dickheads, they spend all that time trying to make a race of warriors that can resist chaos, then a perfect warrior race who is immune to chaos corruption just gets dragged in by coincidence.
