Ulthuan

Well it pretty much boils down to what you imagine as "high-elf warlock". Death Magic wielders...

Question: Do they have to ride horses? Wouldnt some kind of artifical steeds work too? Would not recommend broomsticks though.

Me too. I am hungrily following every FantasyFlight Games rumour to see the Blood Bowl among them since they got the licence from GW...

Wait, wait... do the End Times mean the end of Blood Bowl league??? Oooor is it an elaborate plot of the team owners to bring all races together for a Blood Bowl Superleague!!!

Well my solution is bit tricky DIY. I am currently working on several wooden frames from 55 to 100mm depth with metal sheet shelves. These frames will have strong magnets screwed on top and I will have them normally magnetized to the ceiling of my workspace (my workspace is on the underside of our b...

It has been said many times. The whole purpose for the End Times is to make the armies more manageable to update for GW, without reducing their actual number... at least thats what the general consensus is and rumours were for the past two years. The state of things in terms of updates were bad. WFB...

Just had a similar debate with a friend over a beer yesterday. He was very angry about Bretonnians merging with Empire. For some strange reason he just could not understand that noone forces him to add Empire to his army... and kept talking about how his knights will never fight along empire peacock...

I know, I know! /jk/Teclis transfers his mind into Tyrion's body... Tyrion stats, Sunfang, Moonstaf, Dragon Armour of Aenarion, Malhandir AND avatar of Light... /jk/

I really do think that we should wait until the whole End Times play out... There will be a lot more to tell and I still remember what GW said, which was something like that there are plots within plots... I doubt we have seen them all... :-) Do not discard Tyrion yet. Death is nothing absolute in W...

Perhaps he will, yet... Only first he had some other role to fill - bringing about the unity of elves through his curse...

My point is... we will have an unwritten book laid before us... we can make our own noble stories by our deeds and fluff. Without any stigma coming from the books and Army Books.

Despite straying to another topic - Emperor does not demand any sacrifice. It is provided for him so he won't die and be reborn. I delved quite deeply into this topic, but this is WFB and I will happily discuss this over PM if you are interested. :-) @Rod - you practically confirmed that it is a mat...

If those beings have personalities, and are self aware, and still don't give a shit about the pain they cause to the convetional world, then yes, they should be considered evil. You are talking about consciousness to causing harm as a deciding factor for being good or evil, which is very simplistic...

And that is exactly why my elves will continue to fight Chaos in every form. With every ally we can find.

Chaos gods are evil. They seek to destroy and manipulate as per their own desire, gladly killing or torturing anyone in their wake. While Khorne to a degree, like Khaine, may be driven by instinct, Tzeentch and Slaanesh are beyond a doubt evil in its purest form. Nurgle I don´t know that well (gott...

@aurynn - The description of the Elves that have been completely consumed by bloodlust is way beyond what I´ve ever read about Khorne followers. "Blood for the blood God" followed by slashing axes and punching clubs in a highly skilled manner doesn´t even come close to dropping your weapo...

This is counter to pretty much everything about him i have seen written prior It would not be the first time when people see their god differently than he actually is. Or worshipping an idea while the worship goes somewhere they would not want it to go if they knew... Actually we dont have to go to...

Correct me if I am wrong, but all Race Lores and even the Chaos Lores are supposed to be some mix of the 8 basic winds, no? Dwarves bind winds of magic by runes - no reason for Metal not being able to bind into one of them. Some Ogre Firebelly seems like a good choice for Fire. And Beasts? Why not s...

In the End Times it´s simple: There are only really two sides. You are either with Chaos or you are against. The question is how many bloody battles like the one taking place on Ulthuan in Warhammer: Khaine have to be fought before everyone realizes this. This... How is any, ANY deception, crime, h...

Resignation... or design... the other side of knowing the fates might be the absolute knowledge of the possible outcomes. Maybe Lileath is the Oracle... not the Architect if I keep the Matrix analogy. Maybe she wants to change the status quo, but is very much aware how even a single word could chang...

Thank you, Curu, for this. Very informative indeed. If I may add something to Lileath... I am not convinced that being a god of fate gives you any power to influence it. It might actually be very restrictive as you might be in the position of knowing the fate and being charged to make sure it actual...

It just occurred to me what you get if an 's' gets thrown into your handle..... Sounds very similar to a certain deity. It explains alot :D ROFL didnt realize that. That particular nick is as old as the Neverending Story movie. ;-) And as I wrote in quite a few of my previous posts. My reasons for ...

Did all the world (probably including Finubar) believe its PKs child? I never said he was a traitor. I said he is not a paragon of virtue. I stated my opinion on Tyrion in previous posts and I am apparently not alone who thinks this. Tyrion is narratively a well made character, but both his brother ...

Tyrion always acted honorable, measured and gained the love and respect of both the people and the nobility by his actions earning him the title of "Defender of Ulthuan". No... he did not. I refer you to the books. Tyrion was nowhere near the paragon some are trying to depict him as. Cont...

Hope not. It wouldn't be that illogical for Khaine to do something like that, but for the sake of the story I hope not.

Honestly, I see as much more likely Malekith dying and somehow making Asuryan reborn, even though still low probability.

Well its the book that should give you background to the events even if you didnt read the previous books. I bet many ppl do appreciate it. Althought I get how it may be disconcerting to ppl who know that stuff already. .-) As for Nagash - yea I read the stuff about the blood with blessings of gods,...

Wait... I missed something... so Nagash has a curse of Khaine now? As an Undead? Well that seems bit stretchy... how would it even affect him?

I dont think that even if PKs were false matters. What matters is the perception from Nagash' side or his ressurection lot's. The fact they believed that she is a "trueblood" is the crucial thing. Therefore I dont see any inconsistency.

Fair enough. I didnt mean it too harshly either. Cheers

You see, that is the problem. So far we have 2 people who read the book. One is more positive but hasn't directly recommend the book. The other is negative. I would like to collect such feedback before I decide I want to read the book. I didn't enjoy Gav Thorpe "Malekith" to the point whe...

I do want to say, in response to Truthiness: I have now read The Curse of Khaine myself, and while I applaud your effort to put a positive spin on it... it's futile. Really. There is just no excusing it. It is awful. Please, everyone, do not read it. Do not buy it. I know I'm not being very coheren...
