The Fastness Beset - Maggotkin of Nurgle Lore

[@theknightofzen347]

I like this format. There’s some great stories in the battletomes. I’m into Flesh-eater Courts at the moment and have been re-reading their book. There’s a little story called Star-Crossed where even a Slann Starmaster gets infected by the madness of the FEC and this bleeds into the seraphon he conjures up. I think this would be a good story hook for the 2+ Tough treatment. 👍🏻

I started painting my First nurgle army two weeks ago. Listening to your Lore while painting is incredibly helpful. I already listened to the other Lore from you three Times so getting new stuff is Just great. I Like the Format a lot.

[@elrit-8r898]

realy like that "format" it cover lore on multiple faction, Would love love to see more of those

[@DaHobbles]

Love it! I just started Dark Harvest by Josh Reynolds and it’s all set just outside Greywater Fastness and it leans heavily on that Sylvaneth grudge plot. It’s so good!

[@michaelhammond1243]

Talking about how you would re-create these stories on the tabletop? I’m on board with that!

[@2Tough]

You're the wind beneath my wings :)

[@brentwood7660]

Doug this was an acadamic achievement of theory, research, and narrative explanation. You just discovered a timeless piece of AoS that can be re-created and played over again without actually selling a box-set. I don't think people realize the value you bring to the table amidst a game beset by salt mines and industry treadmills. If games workshop understood the potential your realizing, people would not complain about new battletomes every three years (or whatever), but embrace realeases (more frequently) because they reveal new matched play possibities regardless of core rule set, battleplans, or warscrolls.

[@Bubbowie]

This was a great idea. I've been wanting to get into narrative battles for some time and this was a great way to do just that :)

[@ThomFoolery12]

I like it. Cities has so much fuel for this format. Additionally, maybe something from the new Lumineth book? Just to get some more content for the new army. Maybe on the story of the ambassador to Ulgu?

[@2Tough]

Agree on the Cities point! As for Lumineth, I absolutely intend to get to them! I wanted to try a rotation between Grand Alliances (pick a story from Destruction, then one from Chaos etc). So I'll definitly come around to exploring the lumineth :)

[@rustedbranch]

I like this format, the little stories that add flavour to factions are always fun. And for more stories going forward, I raise Baergut Vosjarl of the Beastclaw Raiders. His story is both an awesome legend and an explanation for the origin of the Everwinter. It is in the First edition battletome, but sadly he gets reduced to a footnote for the svard and this everwinter origin just kinda gets buried under "gorkamorka did it" in the second edition.

[@adambielen8996]

I know that the Nurgle forces attempts to crush the Living City when it was being grown was a big deal. I don't know how many Battletomes it is in, but it is tangentially talked about in the Hollowed Knights novel Plague Garden. So that could be a good one to do.

[@g-paint9523]

Nurgle is by far the best Chaos god 😅 keep on doing Videos about his followers!

[@cursling9]

I like to think that a defining feature of men from Greywater is deafness. Anyone who was witness to enough rocket and cannon firepower to level a forest is going to be hard of hearing!

[@chrisaurovilian4618]

'Peacehammer'. Good one...

[@biofoot7874]

A really cool start to this new style!

[@jyabha]

Such a cool narrative! Thanks for sharing Doug!!

[@2Tough]

Thanks for listening, Pablo!!!

[@Nagrazel]

very cool idea, i like it more aos lore is always in price :) and it's very inspiring when painting models, thanks to these videos I made an extra warcry band

[@gwell2118]

Yeah I’m almost positive they are the same invasion in both books as the massive invasion in COS pretty accurately describes the one in MON more or less, and it fits the description of the events that were mentioned in the Season of War release campaign that first mentioned Greywater Fastness. And I think it was mentioned somewhere after that most Nurgle forces learned to not assault the city directly after the devastating losses they suffered. But yeah stuff like this really brings up the questions, did they do the right thing? I mean did they really have a choice?

[@2Tough]

exactly!! I love when the good guys are put in lose-lose situations. It just adds that tension and drama!

[@Zulfrak]

And here i am, just started to listen to "Dark Harvest", an AoS Horror Novel taking place in Greywater and the conflict between the city and the Treepeople. And of curse im Painting some Plaguebearers, coincedence?

[@2Tough]

oooo I want to read that one!

[@buddhaqueen5999]

Great format

[@2Tough]

Thank you so much!!!

[@adurbe]

Love this. Rekindles some of the interest in some of the factions that GW have let fall out of love recently.

[@philipstewart8951]

Was there a House Goliath lore video? I’ve been looking but haven’t found it.

[@jacobkotten338]

No matter what grey water would be a wasteland or nurgles garden so the elves are in the wrong here with being mad about the woods that wouldn’t be there anyway and nurgle would have spread further

[@Ortoreus]

This is great, more please

[@michael-kg5ej]

Hey big fan, im not sure of the copyright issues, but id love to hear readings from the battletomes. Your wife reading the Sylvaneth Battletome in the style of an Audiobook springs to mind >.>

Diplomacy is a messy thing... Laughs in Pilgrimage #Animosity2

[@merlyn921]

Love the new format!

[@2Tough]

thank you so much, Joe!

[@garank4971]

I like it.....Suggestion bloodpact and sons of sek and the allies of the gaur in the sabbat world crusade

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

My two cents on the video format: Read more into the words. The battle ‘develops’ and nor ‘occurs’ or ‘breaks out’. Meaning the battle starts small and grows to encompass everything

[@2Tough]

that's a solid point!

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

2+Tough I should also be less direct and give proper respect. You do great work sir!

[@donaldkelly9833]

Anyone do an anti-nurgle army based on the popular Soap brands? Lead by either Ajax or Mr. Clean as Vandus. Star Drake named "Dawn___" Aetherwings with Febreez scent names

[@judebrill23]

You ever thought about adapting these stories into audio dramas or something?

[@LeoxandarMagnus]

Why yes, I did enjoy this video.

[@monteheim]

but at what cost?

[@zachwalton5693]

I like it. Need more Tzeentch tho. Besides you going deeper into lore you've covered and going back and adding this and that and disecting the lore more helps me write lore. Cause I love deep lore. And I need even the littlest of facts to write lore cause I want it to fit seamlessly into the world. From the terrain to the army itself. I dont like to make my own terrain cause if they release maps and other art I like it to fit into what GW puts out. So you diving deeper into any lore gets my gears going and my main army is Tzeentch so understanding Chaos and trying to even understand Tzeentch (if you even can call it that) helps me. And I know I'm not alone out there probably a few people just like me. So thank you and any lore videos you do I support 100%

[@Erebus2075]
