[@emilclausen1931]

yes-yes, the skaven of the under-empire was-was waiting for the lore too

[@davidthane9002]

This is a great video. I always feel for the Dawi, centuries an Millenia of slow decline. Not because they were weak or too few or had no allies etc. But because their enemies were two of the most numerous and reckless races that could invade them from above and below. You did a good job telling the story, knowing how Dawi-stories usually go I expected his wife to die at the last moments or something. Ofc the Endtimes are the Endtimes etc. But well, Warhammer being what it is, I always think that the dwarfs do not deserve their depressing fate. Yes they are the epitome of the old-timer being swept away by change. But that is not what usually happens. Their doom comes from their oldest foes. And even with Skaven using "technology"... Neither the Greenskins nor the Skaven are "the new, powerful Generation that overwhelms the old that are stuck in the past" It's just the depressing decline of glory ages past, slowly being ground down by the same old enemies and issues. Good thing Twwh is a sandbox, where reversing that fate is possible. Ah well :) thanks for the great video.

[@JamesonBlaCkBarRel]

Can you imagine a skyrim like game set around the warhammer world. Obviously shrank down or with multiple regions with fast travel points kinda like the witcher. Meeting and aiding Belegar or Settra? This could be a seriously impressive game given time and vision

Love the video. As a fan of Warhammer Fantasty Battles since 1986 the End Times do not exist for me. GW has already said the Old World is coming back. Belegar Ironhammer is still there with his beloved wife and baby thwarting everything the grobi and rats can throw at him. He is my favorite Dwarf and I have a blast using him in Total War Warhammer 1, 2 and I'm sure 3 as well.
