I've never known anything about Warhammer, never played, never read anything. It has never been a part of my life in any way. Then I got the flu and by coincidence watched a lore video of yours. To be honest, I was just too wrecked to reach out and change video, but after a couple I got hooked. Now I've binged most of your lore videos and maybe I'll even give the books a chance. You have a way of making this stuff really interesting and your thoughts on the characters, their motivations and so on are really good.

I love how they are a chaotic reflection of the devoted of sigmar! Both have a warshrine which gives out buffs and auras, priests on foot spreading even more prayers, and fanatical zealots that horde and destroy the enemy. I just wish the army of men would be updated with a similar thing to skaven with different “armies” representing different old world type factions with a new sigmar twist. A cavalry army with the essence of bretonnia A moustache army with ingenuity at its core, troops and engineers with the essence of the empire Devoted of sigmar, “good guy” pestilens, plays similarly but wants to eradicate daemons and chaos I don’t remember any other old world units or armies that would also go into this hypothetical battletome as I was an orks and goblins played and didn’t play against many armies of men, perhaps Dwarves could be in it too?

It would be incredibly interesting for lore stories and more between nurgle and the horned rat and his most devote, zealot little critters. I do also hope to see perhaps what the other bigger clans are up to. New weapons? New subjects to use in mutations for monstrosities? Or even new martial arts to learn to jump out of the shadows? Perhaps the shadow councill in the warp and the councill of 13th might be up to something? Seeing as the horned rat is now part of the chaos pantheon and took Slanesh throne. I hope some bigger things are comming.

Let alone it would be a good follow up jump from nurgle that is focussed at not that long ago with their new units.

About the 13 plagues, I was wondering: we know battletomes are written from the faction perspective, and we also know some ingredients used to prepare thoe plagues are in Nurgle's garden. So what if the plagues are actually "just" 7, which is by mere coincidence Nurgle's sacred number, and Pestilens are just deluding themselves in looking for the supposed 6 last ones?

thank you for these videos, i'm really interested in the lore of the old warhammer world post AOS, seems funner there. I just have some questions that i have yet to find answers sprawling through the various videos I've found. I know that the council seats are gained via direct challenge and duel. but does a clan have to be of particular strength before it is allowed to challenge a seat holder? also since the great horned rat clams one of the seats is that one just empty or is it helped by a grey seer? i've been looking for lore and besides youtube and am having trouble finding any good sources.

Watching videos like this i start to think in bipassing my current warhammer limitations (absolute inexistence of gamesworkshop stores in Portugal) and getting a start box with help of family members in contrys that have. Now on a question based on a inprobable scenario based on the fact that nurgle got some new models. If GW decided to pull a slanesh move on nurgle decidind that rooting alive and using organs as music instruments is not PG and making the skaven betray him and the horned rat talking his place. On a story sense what could be done with that?

I wish to thank you for your most interesting content in general (not just this one). I was also wondering if you had anything to say about Order Serpentis. What do you think of them? Is there some deep lore behind them as well? I do realize they are a very small fragment of the Order, but that does not stop me from being curious.

Great review, Doug! Thanks for putting this together. Though after listening to it, I suppose it would be inappropriate to include Pestilens forces with my Nurgle Rotbringer Pirate army. Oh, well, Nurgle Demons Start Collecting here I come. :P
@2Tough6 жыл бұрын
I suppose I should have focused on it more, but Pestilens rats DO work with other Nurgle forces (like blightkings). But its more of an ally of convenience rather then being on the "Same side".
@ericmumper68216 жыл бұрын
Understood. I see my Rotbringers force as a little more purist. I think I was under the impression that Pestilens were Skaven who worship Nurgle rather than Skaven who use Nurgle's boons to their own ends. In my own fiction for my army (yes, I'm one of THOSE) people, I imagine that my Rotbringers are a little like cultists / pirates who follow Spume fanatically (imagine if Euron Greyjoy had a central core of followers who saw him as a prophet of the Drowned God...same idea). Still, I really enjoyed the video. Thanks again for doing it.

We are definitely starting to get those perspectives. Books like City of Secrets, Nagash: Undying King and the Malign Portents short stories all focus around everyday people. I think they realized that people are a bit disconnected from the lore and are bringing it back into line.
