The Burning of Hammerhall-Aqsha - Harbingers Lore

[@docterfantazmo]

I love when high fantasy includes logistical factors. CoS are expanding, they're gonna need weapons, food and water, how do we use this? Okay, so the Gitz love them some bottles...

[@ce4879]

Very noble of you to skip out on ads like that, I hope you and yours make good money off your endeavors regardless as you certainly earn it. :) Really enjoyed this bit and more expansion on cities building in odd places like in underground catacombs. Very cool to see Fyreslayers kicking behind too and being able to fight in areas other races can’t survive the get of(I’d love them to lean more into that and make them the true “Gorons” of AoS) Lastly, if you want a good “smash the bottles” scenario I recommend using the newest White Dwarf Warcry scenario of protecting the Pylons under Everquake city, protecting fragile objectives a swarm of even grots can shake up with ease would fit the vibes as they appear from all corners of the battlefield to make a dash for the bottle piles.

I am so pumped for this! They just make such cool narrative for AoS, Im still dinning out of the Siege of Excelsis, and it just keeps coming! 😊

[@wargamerwilly8756]

The fantasy art used for the background is so perfect. As always, your videos are top notch! ❤🎉 loving this victory lap of the series 😊

[@Anonymousplayslive]

Just getting back into AoS after a long break. I'm so glad my man Doug at 2+ Tough is still making great content. It's like coming home. Thanks for the videos!

[@jahvyn]

Thanks - love your content and this is a little something to make up for the loss of some ad revenue - as a UK viewer, don't think your affiliate links are suitable for me!

[@d-emprahexpects]

I cannot wait for some new Troggoths!! Maybe an alternative basic version and one larger that isn't a Dankhold

[@hangebza6625]

Very nice of you to cover this series. Keep it up! And I really love the semi-realistic focus on logistics and economy introduced via the aqua ghyranis trade. Because these two are more important to wars than actual battles.

Archaon; "You stormed and kneecapped Hammerhall!?!" Braggitt; "What, like it's hard?"

[@stevesteverson]

If the Skaven and Gitz declared war. It wouldn't end as the Skaven would somehow accidentally kill Sigmar and the Gitz end up taking out Archeon. And neither faction would actually kill a single Git/Skaven.

[@broman3364]

Listening to this and hearing these stories makes me want to get the Dawnbringer books and to follow along. There is so much going on and I love to hear more about it.

[@julianruiz1248]

I'm so happy the Fyreslayers are getting their story, they are my favorite faction and we don't get to see them often

[@wrathofthetentacool7192]

Used your Affiliate code when I got me my Old Dominion Models, wanted to say I love both your Conquest and AOS videos! keep up the good work!

[@saviordd1]

Thanks!

[@jonathanwatson4484]

ok, I have a bit of a theory on the murder leaders, I know the whole plague has something to do with nurgle but the way you told me about leaders being found dead and murdered got me like "wait.. HOLD UP, something isn't right", I believe this has something to do with the skaven, the skaven do have silent killers that stalk the shadows and leaders isolating themselves would be an ample opportunity, also when you mention that Fjori was actually thinking on the battle made me like the character more since he not some angry dawi with a hammer but also a smart warlord who thinks how to react I hope I see more of him in the later stories

[@urbani8231]

I love your coverage of AOS.

[@franciscoteixeira174]

20:21 Fiori and Braggot looking at each other then walking to fight is just Jotaro and Dio's walk of in part 3 😂😂😂

[@DHKArma]

2+ Tough - first of all, great job! BUT I have question. I'm noob in lore and I want to know where to start from? What is the best valuable info about lore besides besides Coresets and Battletomes? Do I have to read 3ed only or 2ed and 1ed also? What would you recommend besides these and of course your channel ????

[@abiggs4828]

I always love to get more lore on the Gitz, and the Godzilla Troggoth sounds so damn cool (and we don’t even know anything about it yet lol). The only thing that makes me kinda sad is that it more or less confirms the new Troggoths won’t be Fellwater related. We’ve gotten the Dankholds which are basically alpha Rockguts, but we don’t have any sort of Alpha swampy bois. I want a giant Lord of the Pukefish, and I think we’re just going to get a bigger, badder Dankhold from what this story is hinting at.

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

Things I’m liking about this story: 1. An issue that another KZbinr mentioned about AoS is that the setting lacks stakes (my opinion is that those stakes seem few and far between, and that our story is not updated often enough). This story seems to put Hammerhal, it’s safety, well-being, and lynchpin status first and foremost and thus the stakes are there. 2. 50-50 Booking that has set up another fight to come from the same forces. Too often in Broken Realms we had a character appear, State he’s gonna wreck stuff, go ham, then move onto his next opponent with minimal setup. Gardus was maybe the only character this didn’t happen to, but he teleported everywhere. Things I don’t like: 1. I wish we could know for certain that we had seen a few of these characters in other stories/sources prior to this one. Maybe it’s locked in the most recent event in each of the Battletomes. You’d have to be the one to tell us Doug, we can’t afford all these books.

[@40KWill]

Excellent lore reviews

[@niallgeary94]

Throgg maybe incoming? I will take new troggs :)

[@stevesteverson]

My thought to. Throgg, God of Troggoths does have a nice ring to it.

[@szymonrybczynski5305]

Will Carnevale series be continued ?

[@2Tough]

Yes!!! I’m writing out my content schedule as we speak. Things got crazy with a cross-state move but I’m getting back up and running!

[@szymonrybczynski5305]

@@2Tough Great, hope my order will arive just in time for tutorial video :)

[@dantauche7917]

So what is the concluusion to all this lead up? It feels like theres massive part 4 that needs to be, but doesnt exist...

The troll king or trogoth king, discontinued model last seen in the age of chaos

[@dylanstober8959]

Great stuff Doug

[@cablea6077]

Do you have any UK based affiliate links doug?

[@2Tough]

I do! My link tree has Element Games listed! 💚

[@stevesteverson]

I'm not gonna say something silly like: "New Troggoth faction!!" I will say something silly like: "Throgg, it's you're time to come back buddy."

[@Basil_Ghothickovitch]

For the love of Sigmar, all my best wishes to all who love Sigmar!

[@flannellemur4818]

Hey Doug! I’m a big fan! I’ve watched all of the origins of the factions you’ve gone over but I wasn’t there for the original Warhammer Fantasy Faction Origins and was wondering if you would ever do a comparison video between the origions of some factions Vs AoS like Night Goblins to Gloomspite Gitz, or Lizardmen to Seraphon! Thanks!

[@scepteredisle]

Age of Sigmar lore. lmao.

[@АрвигБадмаев-и1э]

Why 'lmao'?

[@Waywardpaladin]

​@@АрвигБадмаев-и1эThey probably think Fantasy tropes copy pasted on a bad map of Europe is better 'lore'.
