NOOB'S GUIDE to VILITCH the CURSELING

[@firetarrasque4667]

I fucking love Vilitch. Literally his entire story is just Tzeench going "lmao you know what would be funny"

I think that’s Tzeench’s philosophy to literally anything.

[@rubz1390]

According to wiki :"Thinking himself lost forever, he suddenly found himself back within Tzeentch's realm. Confused as to why he was saved by his patron when he had not requested any aid, the answer was not to his liking. Vilitch's silent and brutish conjoined brother spoke for the first time in ages, revealing that it was he who had requested aid. Realising his peril too late, Vilitch's mind was wiped clean as his brother, so long subservient to his will, took control of the pair. "Vilitch" the Curseling was no more". Doesn't sound like Thommen was really in control for 30 years to me.

[@DerSisch]

Yeah... a bit inaccurate, but in the end, Vilitch ended up the same way.

[@DainnGreywall]

Wait, I thought Thomen wasn't able to take control, but spent all those years praying to Tseenczh to allow him to take over, and eventually Tseenczh just decided "Lmao ok that sounds hilarious, let's do it" straight up trapping Vilitch in his own mind as Thomen got a switcheroo slapped on his brother.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

yeah, it's debatable whether he was praying to Tzeentch all that time but it was definitely Tzeentch that did the final switcheroo after Thomin prayed to him to save him and Vilitch after Vilitch massively screwed up and was going to get the two of them trapped in a portal forever.

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

I could've sworn that Vilitch's fate in the end times was different. I thought he failed to take a city and asked Tzeentch for more power, and Tzeentch granted his request by putting Thomin back in control.

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

It was Thomin who prayed to Tzeentch, who then granted his request: that might not be the end of Vilitch's story though, because Tretchlets are awfully similar to the original Curseling, so who knows what manner of being he might have actually become...

On the topic of the end times, while initially I thought of that twist as stupid, I just remembered, this is Tzeench we’re talking about. I think I’d be more surprised if he didn’t do something like give Torman the ability to take back over on a whim.

[@mullerpotgieter]

His brother was just buried deep down and Tzeech gave him back control on a whim. It was literally just a troll moment for Tzeech

Yep, literally god of TWEEST and backstabs. No surprise that he would have pulled a; maybe your brother won't fail me like you did, once Vilitch couldn't get shit done. If anyone is aware of the power the Raven has, it's 100% Thormin.

Vilitch and Thommen spend so much time together. They’re practically inseparable, and just can’t stand to be apart. Sibling goals.❤✨

[@OldReaver]

For those who don't know, both Vilitch and Kairos can both attack with the teleport stance and it triggers as an ambush. Making it very hard to get near the Great Bastion as he will just jump on an army getting to close and killing them.

[@CharalamposKoundourakis]

That is ludicrously powerful

[@brianwalsh1339]

Ironically, Vilitch was a key ally in my daemon prince campaign. I was honestly thinking of betraying him early on but then he kept winning, so I just went with it lmao

[@ThatOneREDScout]

I love the spawnify. Just dumping random chaos spawn in armies that are completely loyal to the army, thus most likely making fighting the army harder on you, and giving you absolutely no benefit what so ever is so perfectly a tzeentch move that if giving your enemies chaos spawn was a bug, I hope they never remove it.

[@weabootrash5891]

Honestly I love Vilich's end times lore, I find it a great twist of fate and something Tzeentch would do after Vilich fails one too many times and whines like a petulant child. I'm pretty sure Tommen was actually trapped as a prisoner in his own body and unable to actually do anything the whole time, though, but I might be misremembering it and all. Regardless of that, the idea of Vilich becoming trapped in his own body and unable to do anything while Tommen takes control is satisfying, I don't know why but Vilich is super hateable as a character and I like seeing him get comeuppance for being a massive piece of shit throughout his lore

[@Chonk_enthusiest]

This. I find vilitch so despicable despite all the honestly worse people in warhammer, that when his brother takes control, it feels like such a cathartic ending haha.

[@GusOmega]

@@Chonk_enthusiest Probably because the others have charisma and a fun design that makes them feel more like super villains, or casual monsters. Vilich is lying, cheating, a hypocrite, an asshole- and doesn't do anything remotely redeemable. Personally I believe that Tommen was watching, learning, and always able to flip the script. He worshipped strength and knowledge, and many sorcerers require a lot of concentration to cast spells. Maybe Tommen saw the strength a wizard could have, and let Vilich think he was the one making the decisions when most of the big plans were Tommen's idea

[@bradypus55]

I don't care what anyone say about the end time. I find it hilariously poetic that Thorim manage to get the upper hand and reverse uno Vilitch like the end of a 90's nerd turn villain flick where the jock gives him a wedgie before the credits starts rolling. ...I mean it does open up some questions about their characters motivation. If Thorim had conscience all along, why did he let his brother do this to him? Was there, deep inside him, the feeling of regret for all the abuse he gave to his brother? Did he learn to admire his leadership now that he has power? Is there a small glimpse of brotherly love inside his husk of a body? Did he start to regain control because he didn't want his brother to be used by tzeentch? Does Vilitch feel the same way now that their roles are reversed? ...Or the writers just pulled that bit out of their butt cause monkey paw logic is always funny so let's do it again this late in the story.

[@kayeka4123]

I haven't actually read it, but the way I interpret the whole thing is that Thorim's body was enslaved but not his mind, and he'd continuously pray to Tzeentch much the same way that Villitch did.

[@mullerpotgieter]

Basically they were trapped in the warp while crossing a portal because both ends got disspelled. His brother's mind was probably just dormant the entire time and reached out to Tzeech. There in the warp, Tzeech heard and just thought it would be hilarious to do a switcheroo. I sincerely doubt he felt sorry for his brother that stole his body and became a literal parasite

[@nonya1366]

I do like small bits of the end times, like this one. Because Thorim stealing back the body is poetically appreciative. As far as I know, just because you control the body in warhammer, and even the mind, doesn't mean the soul itself is controlled, which is a fundamental difference. Or in other words, it took bout that long for Thorim to use soul power to pray to Big T...Or it was until then that big T decided to actually grant the prayer because he's a massive collossal...Bird.

In a way Vilitch's story is a twisted version of Harry Potter's origin story. Both were abused, underfed, undervalued by their respective families and bullied by an older sibling who just happened to be bigger and stronger and lead a gang of bullies to pick on them as well. Only the main difference is for Harry it was his cousin Dudley, and for Vilitch it was his twin brother. And in Vilitch's case, one day Tzeentch said to him "You're a wizard Vilitch" and he fused with his brother and became an very powerful sorcerer.

[@mariojorge68]

>Thommin was in control the whole time and was just playing along. No, not at all. No idea where you got that idea. The twist is that Thommin had just enough brain left while being piloted to pray to Tzeentch at every day of every moment, much like Villitch did in times prior. So Tzeentch, being a massive fucking prick, waited right until it'd be adequate/Vilitch failed him and turned the tables. It's one of the few good things about the End Times and a lovely bookend to Villitch's tale.

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Yeah, and story-wise, that's not a bad plot twist, it's basically poetic justice, Vilitch got his wish for cheap, but Tzeentch giveth and Tzeentch taketh away, if he can grant Vilitch's request to switch their places for the lols, he can grant Thomin's request to switch them back for the lols. Like, if you build your power on a wish, it can be taken away by a wish, it's fair, it's capricious, it's Tzeentch.
