Thank you for the hard work.

[@brokenbridge6316]

This was a nice. But when are we going to get another Sci-Fi video from this channel.

[@ValentineCorp]

What happened to gut rot spume when his ship was sunk?

[@Emanon...]

The whole End Times storytelling reeks of Chaos Stan fanfiction.

[@canale39youification]

Ikr? Especially in the way characters like Gelt or Tyrion were butchered.

[@apollyon23456]

I mean. It was always a forgone conclusion. Chaos was always going to win. The "good" God's barely ever interfere on behalf of their believers, while the Ruinous Power alwaaaaays do. The only thing that held them off was that they were too busy fighting each other. Throw Archaon into that mix, plus the skaven attacks the Empire stupidly tried to make hush hush, and it would have been a ridiculous event if they HADN'T lost.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

​@apollyon23456 chaos definitely is supposed to win. That's the entire point of the end times. It's the way they do it that's dumb. It's not Chaos being clever. It's Chaos having unlimited numbers, and the defenders being morons

Love this video, but man, simply writing away how the Elven fleet was defeated rather than show incompetence or otherworldly assistance, really shows the level of writing in the End Times.

[@sfp2290]

Even worse, when it is stated, that they are masters of sea battles and then proceeds to make them do beginner mistakes, at the level of sending your cavalry head first into a massive undead horde, during the night, with absolutely no vision and no support. They tell us that they are good, but show us that they are bad, in order to make the opponent seem better, is such a terrible way of telling a story.

[@jamesw7565]

I agree what awful GW writing. The Elven fleet a super fast well coordinated group got surrounded by a bunch of chaos rotting ships and long boats. Then a well built dwarf wall, which would had wards, gets defeated by some algae, really!!! Ow and forget the thousands of human troops that guard the city supported by cannons and magic. GW what have you done?

I had no idea that Nurgle, the chaos god of disease and death was also the chaos god of growing algae super quickly go act as an oil slick.

[@CollinBuckman]

A lot of these ideas sound cool in theory but man it seems like Chaos is just overpowered. If a single Nurgle lord and his fleet could destroy two of the greatest port cities in the Old World pretty much by himself, how did Chaos not win beforehand? Why is it that so far almost every victory or near victory has only been possible because a vampire showed up and decided to help the humans?

[@brianboru2762]

Officially, the old world only lasted as long as it did because it was amusing for the Chaos gods to do so. Any one of them could have splattered the entire world by themselves without much effort but the long conflict was more fun for them. They've apparently been doing this over and over again for eons. Letting a few spirits and minor gods flee the blown-up world and build a new world only for Chaos to find them again and start the entire dance again. Everything before was a cat pawing at a dying mouse, now the cat has it's paw on the mouse and only has to press just a little bit to kill it. The four were bored and wanted to blow it up and see what few survivors built this time. Of course this is ****** stupid and I don't consider it canon.

[@lvo9197]

Because the company making Warhammer fantasy was losing money with it, so they axed and told the writers to contrive a story were chaos wins in the end anyway.

[@lvo9197]

​@@theawesomeman9821 The video is awesome: the problem was the original publication: warhmamer fantasy was selling poorly, so they decided to end it with the event, and it shows, because the plot bends and contrives constantly around ways for chaos to randomly win, contradicting established lore and characters. As a casual myself, I also enjoyed this series a lot, but for hardcore fans it s understandable why they hate it (I recommend pancreasnowork video on the end times to see what happened).

[@raptonsoul2557]

The funniest part of the end time is that it was so rushed that they actively reconed stuff in each book with the most stupid one being between Karl and sigmar

Good example of Chaos using mods in Endtimes, ALWAYS OUTNUMBERING any guy, got magic and everything while the other side ALWAYS GOT NOTHING

[@NoMoreCrumbs]

These end times battles aren't even really fights, they're all one-sided slaughters of anything that isn't chaos. Bit hard to keep any tension in a story with no stakes

[@ellitho]

Ikr, walls disappearing, ancient era ship with plot armor so thick it'd make Jon Snow blush, terrorgeist zapped out of existence and the city defenders moronically abandoning any defensive fortifications because a dude died.

[@VojislavMoranic]

What always bugged me about Norscans. They seemingly spawn massive raiding fleets out of nowhere. While they live in what is essentially Greenland with Australian wildlife on cocaine. I wont even touch on the matter of "Viking longboat" vs Man-o-War with cannons. The Longboat would not be even able to board the bigger ship because it literally assaulting a castle at sea. Not to mention the matter of "Suddenly there were hundreds of thousands of naked Norscans" Brother in Sigmar they would die of hypotermia and hunger while assembling, not to mention the mere fact that such a population would require milions of "Civilians" in the background who would also need to eat and be clothed in a area not known for agriculture.

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

This all feels just a bit too much. Undefeatable evil champions, surprise vampire lord, magic dragon, roaming plague etc. Then just a bunch of humans with swords and muskets.

[@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547]

The funny thing is thing is that tjr oppsite was alway the complaint in warhammer fantasy, that the empire was individually so powerful that it was explicitly stated that none of the bad guy factions in the setting could feasible threaten it in a 1v1. Turns out having a modernizing early industrial state with an army that’s at least a million strong and armed with 17th to mid 18th century guns is quite scary

[@jakemocci3953]

The humans with swords and muskets usually kick a lot of ass, that’s the whole point of the damn setting. Normal men prevailing against unspeakable horrors, with nothing but faith, steel, and gunpowder.

This is spawning films and video games as well as stories and articles, involving very uniqpe things like "cognito hazards" and "info-hazards" which can kill a person just by knowing certain things. It is a world populated by interesting persons, groups and other things. I reccommend to begin with SCP-093: the Red Sea Objecti as related in THE EXPLORING series. Other names to KZbin up; The Volgun, SCP Illustrated and Dr. Cimmerian as well as The SCP items in THE EXPLORING SIERIES.

Another victory for the Forces of Chaos in a series where Chaos basically wins. One problem with the End Times is that one of the factors that enables Chaos to win is the endless numbers of its troops. The Norscan invasion here is basically endless in the number of warriors it can field, overwhelming the city’s mortal defenders with not only plague but vast hordes of barbarians. The Elven fleet of Finubar the Seafarer emerges from the mist to attack the Plague Fleet rather than being enveloped by mist and are driven off by Gutrot Spume’s conjured smoke tentacles that suffocate the Elven crew and the thrashing limbs of whatever resides in Spume’s ship, Rotten Beast. Spume does not partake in the Battle of Marienburg but departs for Nordland to travel along the Old Dwarf Road to Altdorf. It is not well explained in this video but the Dwarf-built sea wall is brought down when the Glottkin have one of the plague urns given to them by Archaon (who in turn received three of them from Ku’Gath) hurled via catapult around the sea wall which unleashes a moss that supernaturally grows quickly and destabilizes the sea wall greatly. This moss would later grow down the length of the River Reik. The Marienburg soldiery flees when it becomes revealed that their enemy brings plague and Mundvard’s undead erupt from within the city, not out in the marshes. The Suiddock Beast threatens to cut off Norscan reinforcements from the boats with it being perched on the Greenwolf and Mundvard himself does not ride the Suiddock Beast but remains in the outskirt marshes near the docks, which is where the Glottkin fight him (Ghurk throws him in the sea after Otto pins the vampire in place by piercing his neck with his scythe). The Reikland Irregulars meet the Glottkin and their army outside of Marienburg and are able to push back the Chaos army with their discipline but with the unnatural moss and gore on the ground the Empire army suffers uneven footing and their formation breaks up, allowing the Norscans to beat them in the chaotic close combat they so love.

Chaos was always more interesting as a corruptible force than a horde of black knights who worship demons. The Reiksguard novel comes to mind as illustrating the political and personal havok that Chaos causes.

Doesn't Teclis infuse the hero's of Order with the power of the vortex at one point? Doesn't that drive back chaos a while?

[@seanallerdings8147]

Teclis undoes the vortex at the center of Ulthuan which allows him to bind the winds of magic to a specific individual aka the incarnates but it sank the entire island of Ulthuan allowed Slannesh to absorb thousands of elven souls thereby increasing his/her power and without the vortex impeding the winds of magic it allowed chaos to send as many of their forces as they wanted.

[@tomosjackson4760]

@@seanallerdings8147 Seems like rather a short sighted action by one so allegedly wise and powerful. I didn't know this before, my knowledge of Warhammer lore is patchy, and only started soon after buying the Warhammer total war series.

[@seanallerdings8147]

@@tomosjackson4760 yeah, there's quite a lot of things with the end times that logically don't make a lot of sense and especially with certain character's actions and motivations. To use Teclis as an example a lot of what he does in the end times in any other form of media would make him an outright villain which is the exact opposite of what he is.

[@tomosjackson4760]

@@seanallerdings8147 Well to be fair to Teclis, I've always seen him as cold and calculating. Throw in desperate and I can see him cracking open the Vortex. I liked the idea of Tyrion picking up the Sword of Khaine, much as his ancestor Aenarion did when things got bad and having Teclis and Malekith team up to bring him to his senses. Again I don't have a great deal of context, and my knowledge is patchy. Idk. I just think that Teclis could have made an interesting character when you mash his personality with the role of Gandalf. He doesn't seem the kind of guy who works well with people (Though I loved his team up with Gotrek and Felix) so having him be the one who has to pull all the forces of Order together to resist chaos seems like a really interesting arc to explore.

[@seanallerdings8147]

@@tomosjackson4760 It would have been if Games Workshop actually went that route. As for cold and calculating let me think besides the other things during the end times he allowed his niece who was the illegitimate child of Tyrion and Alarielle to be kidnapped by Arkhan and later sacrificed so that Nagash could be resurrected. He also stole the flame of Ulric from Middenheim which led to not only the actual death of Ulric but allowed Middenheim to fall to Chaos because the flame was the only thing helping the besieged defenders out. Teclis actually is a great character in most of the lore but in the End Times Games Workshop made him a bastard.

[@Badger13x]

Seems that the company just gave up on this part of their business maybe it was not making enough money, so they wanted to get rid of it to concentrate on the 40k money pot.

[@gavinsepicgaming9835]

So, elven sea masters suck, and big dwarf wall dies to insta magic which the elves would've had, and then the vampire counts come in again and beat the chaos warrior with undead? The elite chaos warriors that did all that stuff and easily took the city? The ones that don't fear death because of their immense tankiness and the ability to like just respawn?????

[@gavinsepicgaming9835]

they just keep being so op to beat an enemy but then another enemy is so op to win and i see why everybody doesn't like the end times now

[@Loyal94]

never read warhammer except for Heldenhammer, but compared, the end times seem to be off. As if it had to be done quickly. Disappointed tbh. Great work on the video! As always, you guys are a beacon of quality content.
