WARHAMMER FANTASY LORE: 5 Short Stories and Facts about The Empire - Total War: Warhammer 2

[@TheBookofChoyer]

⚔ This episode was a delight to make! Adam did an amazing job with the voice acting and I think the final video ended up being enjoyable as well! Let me know what other factions you'd like to see featured in this format "5 Short Stories and Facts" as I think this can open up many fun possibilities. As an additional "short story", is my own personal introduction to the Warriors of Chaos. When I read the part about the Warriors of Chaos. (From WHFB rulebook 6th Edition, Around @13:04 ... thje first time I read that was when I first purchased that book, around 2006 ) I was truly horrified and a bit puzzled as to who these "Warriors of Chaos" really were inside Warhammer Fantasy. Coming from a Lord of the Rings background, I was very familiar with the notion of the Orcs/greenskins being the bad guys. The whole concept of Chaos was new to me at the time. So reading that paragraph really set the perception I had of them as truly imposing and horrifying. And that impresion still stands! Now that Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting closer we will be exploring more and more about these so called "Exalted Ones" or simply "Warriors of Chaos".

"Karl Franz walking into the tavern after the stories" -A round for everyone here on me, master !! You there, my old fellow. Many a witch hunter would have had you in the stocks for saying such things or worse. I say to you this, better to be forewarn of the dangers that beset us than to live in benighted ignorance and comfort. A toast to your bravery good sir, and another to the Empire !! For as long as I am your Emperor I will assure you this, the Empire of Man will never fall. With faith, steel and gunpowder we will drive our enemies back !!" And after this, SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!!

The dwarfs can tell if the skaven are real. They've been fighting them for centuries. Also the council of thirteen has only twelve members with the last seat reserved for the horned rat.

[@phreakazoith2237]

nah, these dwarfes just had too much beer, heard some weird noises and turn that into overblown stories about battling hideous rat folks within their tunnels. What's next? Do you want us to belive there is vampires?

Ngl the fact that the Empire is already pretty much on the brink of annihilation at any moment kinda upsets me. Like pretty much nothing matters, if the Skaven wanted to they could totally destroy The Empire. No matter how many battles they win, any moment The Skaven can just delete them.

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

love how in lore chaos warriors are so big and scary but in the games they're just target practice for Imperial artillery LOL

[@amandag.6186]

Probably because in the games you/the empire can afford and spam artillery unlike in the lore

[@klaiken989]

If they made chaos how they are in lore. It would be so unfair. Just like if they made the Lizardmen units or Vampire count magic lore accurate. It'd be ridicoulously unmatched for all opposing races. Especially considering the ONLY thing that saved the Empire from the VC was Mannfred betraying Vlad because they be Vampires LOL...

If the empire actually focus more on the problem of their nation rather than their selfish individual businesses, if the empire is less corrupted in their internal affairs, if religion in the empire focus more on educating and helping the populace rather than abusing their influence and dividing and brainwashing the people, if the empire would become more united under one ruler rather than be divided by elector counts and useless politicians and if the leaders of the empire actually leads and make the livelihood of their people even more better rather than them abusing their power for selfish desires, if all those said are achieve the empire will become more efficient and stronger than ever before they will be the equivalent of a united 13 clans of skavens.
