Last time we checked in with Age of Sigmar lore it was very mid - does it continue to be unimpressive or have things changed?

Definition of a dead channel (cause a lot of people don't seem to understand) : A channel which has seen a massive reduction (90%+) of views and new subscribers since their peak with no genuine chance of recovery.
A dead channel isn't a bad channel, it just means the audience is no longer interested in their content.
the drop in views also has to do with making less content, because of real life issues and general burnout, so it’s a bit disingenuous to say it’s because of disinterest. you should know UA-cam algorithm is hard, and moreso people forget quickly. So when they aren’t given the content as often as he was putting it out years prior, viewership will drop off naturally, as well as its display to other viewers outside subs
If this video gets 50k likes, majorkill has to call his first son Sigvald!
Stop standing upsidedown. Get on the right side. -O
Ayn suggestion on which books to start with ???
Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.
If it's any consolation if you started making AoS lore videos you would instantly become the largest AoS UA-camr
and the only
@@polmMM-uk1rz +2 Tough does a pretty good job but I think Majorkill would overtake him.
Majorkill would shit talk a brick wall to death
That's not saying much tho no offense to 2+ tough
Hahaha
Throwing your hammer at a guy only for Tzeentch to open a portal and you lose it does sound pretty hilarious yes
Tzeentch be doing a little Trolling
Wulfgar in Forgotten Realms would just Laugh and recall his Hammer. Aegis Fang would come back, eventually...likely after he ripped his enemies apart limb by limb.
Sounds very much like a cartoon scene. Bonus points if another portal opened, the hammer flies out, and hits the person who threw it in the head.
2+ Tough I’d say has one very important contribution to the AoS community: He was there when there was very few to truly appreciate the potential of the setting in those early days. Like a lonely gardener tending to an under-appreciated and barely living seedling, hoping it would one day bear fruit. His style and presentation radiated both a sense of patience and enthusiasm that I hadn’t really encountered in a lore channel, knowing the setting’s limitations but still giving it a chance. Without his videos, I probably wouldn’t have been interested at all.
Agree. It's actually really fun to play as well. Wish it was bigger
@shlomogoldstein3373 its right behind 40k. Meaning its the second largest wargaming community which is massive.
40k just gets more fandom because its waaay older. It also has heaps of neckbeards and losers who only play pc games and wanna pretend they are part of the wargaming or hobby.
So you get a huge inflation of fans who are secondary fans who read free pdf, play cheap games and listen to free audio on UA-cam.
Anyways the aos community is amazing, im glad its not mainstream like 40k, fastest way to ruin something is inviting losers to the table.
Doug is the shit man always needs yo have a place in this tabletop community.
2+tough is not a dead channel. The guy is really chill and branches out on other wargames like Conquest (must recommend). He is a cool guy!
I'm pretty sure MK exaggerating it's something us Aussies do A LOT
Couldn't agree more, one of my favourite channels
@@lukehendriech3812 kind of awful to say regardless.
Doug is such a nice guy, active in the community and great content!
Kind of a low blow from Majorkills part.
@@mackenzie_the_scrimblo in some places the word cunt is seen as terrible, in aussie language its pretty normal. Dont expect people to cater to your sensibilities.
Big missed opportunity for AoS lore: Sigmar should’ve sent 40,000 of his Stormcast after his hammer. That way they really could be the Warhammer 40k.
How many did he sent?
My favorite lore moment is when the Skaven accidentally drained an ocean into their capital city/home dimension and ended up killing half their race in a single day. Not just for the sheer craziness of that sentence, but the fact that its not even noteworthy by AoS standards. In WFB, it took the literal end of the world to get anything like that happening. In AoS, something like that is just a foot note in another army's lore section. Absolutely hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
That sounds bad... some things are just not reasonable
@@ExceedProduction Meaning what?
Oh, it gets even better; the water was full of feral zombies and attacked the Skaven, Thanquol was involved, _and_ it alerted Nagash to the existence of the Idoneth Deepkin, royally screwing them over to.
Man, don't mess with 2+Tough Doug, he's been spreading AOS lore on his own with hard work and love for the game, he's a cool dude.
A dead channel doesn’t mean they make poor content or aren’t involved in the community, it just means they have seen a massive reduction in views and new subscribers from their peak. The point wasn’t that Doug makes poor content but that community interest in Age of Sigmar lore isn’t there
@@SG-pp7kq It IS a reply that explains it all.
@@SG-pp7kq weirdo
My favorite bit about Slaanesh breaking out was how it was canonically easily avoidable, but all of the gods couldn’t agree to get their shit together and fix Slaanesh’s cosmic jail, so here we are. Reminds me of 40K a bit, honestly, where everything would be so much better if only people were sensible.
", where everything would be so much better if only people were sensible."
Fiction has a way of mimicking real life.
How? They don't even know its a problem. Slaanesh hides any damage to the prison through literally god tier level illusions to disguise her efforts to escape. As far as everyone can tell, the prison is functioning perfectly.
i dont want this though. i dont want AOS to turn into 40k but smaller scale. i liked fantasy where yes the gods fought but there was still general agreement on fighting certain people.
what i dislike about 40k is almost no one likes to team up or make agreements. there are exceptions, but thats the thing: exceptions. in fantasy pretty much every group outside chaos and the skaven/beastmen (and even then a few instances of agreements did exist). even the literal undead mummy faction was still sentient and could be reasoned with, even if settra was arrogant. it was much more like real life, in how while elves, dwarves, humans and their sub factions competed with eachother but still could agree on certain things. 40k just has everyone hate eachother
Thats the problem with AOS, everything looks like 40k
Eliphas says: how would the other primarchs react and rule the imperium if they were first to return before guilliman
For the emperor!!
How would vulcan react and rule the imperium would he give us all hugs
For the crusade!
It's a shit idea for a video, that's why he'll never do it as much as you spam.
@@alphariusomegon7374 hydra domanatus
PancreasNoWork does occasionally cover AoS factions with his do or don't series and honestly the lore for them now seems sick. Makes me kinda interested in trying it out
I love how they evolved the stormcast, from boring AF to deep and multi faceted, like their models it only got better and better.
The fact that anyone with a pure heart and courage can become a storm cast no matter their occupation is what made them become better (to me) than the space marines, they're not just legendary warriors, they're the best of humanity in general, a baker who kept making food for the soldiers and the people to the very end and died after the defenses fell could become a storm cast, a noble lady who offered sanctuary to civilians can also become a storm cast, you don't have to be a great fighter or a fighter at all to become a storm cast, you just have to be a genuinely good person with the courage to do the right thing, i love it.
Still going to avoid it, it’s still a cluster f+uck. We are also missing factions from the old world which is stupid.
@@arcahmwinters70 that adds to the depth honestly, it keeps the grimdark atmosphere, it's a sad tragedy in it's own right, which makes them even more heroic while they're keeping their humanity.
I hope they add some storm cast that have the force of will to keep hanging on despite dying many times, like in dark souls.
@@Alex-pj8nz give them time, at the very beginning 40k lore was hilariously bad, it got good with decades of novels, editions and retcons, the necron are the most recent example.
Expecting aos to be anything other than a cluster fuck now is just unfair.
@@Alex-pj8nz get over it, they will come, you didn't have squat on 40k for years and I see no bitching.
I like that the AoS lore evolves and changes the setting (e.g. blowing up one of the 9 towers of Tzeench, the Necroquake, Teclis beating Nagash...) while the 40K lore kind of stagnates after the fall of Cadia. The Nachmund gauntlet is constantly in peril, but nothing changes. The Silent King returns, but nothing really changes galaxy-wide. Guilliman returns and brings the primaris....but nothing major changes.
“All Stormcast Eternals strike quickly, but none more so than the Knights of the Aurora.” - Sigmar
If you are doing to continue the AOS content please do a "age of sigmar grand alliances explained by an Australian" they are quite fantamental to the core beliefs of the factions that make them up and would be both easy and necessary to analyze for people to understand some things that happen in the lore
Indeed. It’s important for newcomers to realize that each grand alliance isn’t a cohesive or unified front, but rather loose coalitions that occasionally work together. Order might seem like obvious good guys, but each faction often butts heads with supposed Allies over fundamental disagreements. Chaos is always fighting amongst themselves as the Dark Gods play their Great Game. Destruction has constant battles of supremacy of who’s the biggest and baddest. Death might seem the most cohesive, where all answer to the will of Nagash, but even they are fractured by their differences
What i like is the depth extends to other factions, not just the order "protagoninsts". I mean, chaos is in the midst of a civil war between archaon and belakor, the destuction factions and kragnos are being tricked by gobsprakk to further his own goals, and death, while basically united behind nagash, has proven to be a downright nightmarish opponent when they decide to fight.
I've personally really enjoyed AoS. Especially how the split up the Chaos factions and literally everything they have done with Death. Every Death faction has baller fucking models and cool lore to them.
I love 2+ tough, he's been a steadfast pillar in AoS and helped me fall in love with the world and start my army. I love his commentary on the stories and how he expands on what they showcase and the genuine appreciation he has for it. I'd love to see you work with him and help pump up his channel. The more enriched and cooperative the WH creators are the better, and AoS could definitely use more brotherhood with it's sibling settings haha. Please don't give 2+ the OneMind treatment haha hes a great dude.
Ya I watch him all the time
I like Age of Sigmars story now. I think its world building still needs some work to make the realms feel as cool as their concept, but the cities of Sigmar are pretty interesting so far. Just need more set places in the world with fleshed out lore.
I’d be interested in more AOS videos, cause I’m a huge WFB fan and I struggle getting into AOS cause I just don’t get it. What are the realms? Where are the factions? Why do they fight?
The realms are like the worlds of ygdrassil and for the other questions look at a faction aestetic and then delve deeper to their lore
They don’t explain where the Mortal Realms came from, but the factions fight for the same reasons as other Warhammer titles: conquest, survival, or because they want to fight.
Thank you all for the replies, though now I have more questions. Does a realm have defined borders? Like planets? Or are they just warp spaghetti geographically? Can people travel from realm to realm easily or is it a hassle? Also can a normal human live in the metal or fire realm? They sound inhospitable. This is the issue I have cause it’s fairly easy to grasp 40K or WFB. AOS less so
ua-cam.com/video/zJLMRNg_NpY/v-deo.html This guy is good for that, but really inconsistent with posting on YT.
@@Evan-qn2cj aos is for certain a much more alien setting than wfb and 40k.
The realms can be of varoius shapes(spherical, flat,ecc)however those aligned with the winds of magic are usually flat. They also are 5x the size of whb,most of them are unexplored exept some continents. There are edges to them that goes into seemengly infinite energies of that realm(which are deadly for all mundane creatures.
Normally speaking the only way to leave a realm is to use a planar portal, really big portals linked to another realm , or to use a lizardman pyramid ship/tzeencian silver tower/any other veicles who can traverse the magic energies at the edges. After that there is a void like space made of pure and undefined magic,like space, to travel before reaching another destination , like the eigth points( the spherical remains of wfb under the control of chaos) or a chaos realm.
I’d enjoy seeing the Majorkill take on an overview of each of the AoS factions. Would be a refreshing reprieve from a lot of speculatory 40K content we get right now (don’t get me wrong I enjoy that too).

I have something for you..
Some Good places to start on AOS lore are obviously the Core Rulebook 3rd and the Soulbound RPG or online AOS lexicanum. My favorite novels I think are great starting places include:
Spear of Shadows: Great entry point into the world (my first novel :)
City of Secrets: First Witch hunter story of the setting. Its sequal is "The Silver Shard"
Gloomspite: You'll never laugh at a Grot ever again, or you might but you'll definitely respect them more
Soulwars: Ground level at the beginning of the Soul Wars
Nagash the Undying King: Backstory on chaos conquering the underworlds, fun.
Plague Garden and its Sequal Black Pyramid: Will likely make you like Stormcast.
Covens of Blood: Anthology book on Daughters of Khaine, some very good stuff in there.
Court of the Blind King: Idoneth Deepkin novel, basically a political thriller. And shows off Deepkin, there kinda like Dark Eldar, but not as big of assholes.
There are tons more novels these are just my personal favourites so far.
p.s. Yeah Majorkill I think you would kill it with AOS lore videos, I feel the setting has expanded enough to warrant regular videos. And as for 2+tough I wouldn't consider him dead yet, but I do agree his format is growing a little stale, other lore videos ( like HeyWoah for instance) can definitely make AOS lore videos with better success shows that just repeating basic information like out of a Textbook isn't really needed as much with so many more options on AOS lore now. However I still think 2+Tough can turn it around eventually but I think a change up to video style is needed.

As much as I hate that Fantasy had to die for this, I’d be willing to give Age of Sigmar a chance. I also hope it doesn’t repeat the mistakes of 40k
what mistakes are we talking here? Is it about the table top
@@nandotnt5678 also not everything being about spesssss marines
@@nandotnt5678 Let's see, where do you want me to begin? How about I go over how in 40K the supposed 'BIG BADGUY WHO LEADS CHAOS' is regularly hyped up as a massive threat despite failing all the time, there's a nonstop fixation on space marines to the point where you might as well ask why the other factions even exist at this point (seriously, just when the fuck did 40K go from trying to be the grimmest and darkest of all grimdark to acting like it was Space Marine 40K!?), or the Imperium not starting to break in spite of its RIDICULOUSLY massive list of problems and all the enemies it made, OR the fact that the gods that aren't Chaos-aligned do practically nothing helpful by default!?
Contrast this to Age of Sigmar, where the following happens: its posterboy faction actually loses as much as it wins (40K Space Marines win all the time by default unless they're with Chaos), the other factions besides Chaos DO SOMETHING beyond being stuck as glorified punching bags, the gods opposed to Chaos in this setting actually DO SOMETHING beyond being either a shattered mess whose avatars get killed all the time or a test subject for Nurgle's latest plague or an oversized clown OR the operator of the setting's largest lighthouse, need I say more?
Would be great to see some AOS vids about some general faction lore in here from time to time. AOs is really doing well lateley with the lore, it is moving forward and is much more cohesive than it once was that is for sure. And the game itself is neat Af!
Personally,I interest in nothing but Gotrek and Lord Kroak
How the hell is Kroak even alive? He burnt out his soul in the End Times.
I still wish AOS had less Fantasy characters.
@@robertnelson9599 That's... an unusual wish to have about any Games Workshop IP.
@@robertnelson9599 KROOOAAKKKKKKKK
@@robertnelson9599 Kroak just being Kroak
@@robertnelson9599 Local Frog literally to Old and Undead to Die
I think they brought in Kroak because they wanted a named character for the Seraphon and didn't want to create a new one
and all the previous Lizardmen characters are confirmed dead
and as to why AoS has a lot of Fantasy Characters well it's WFB fan service, tho in my opinion it does work well
Also I think Personally that Archaon is a way better BBEG than Abbandon!
Plus News about the next Slaves of Darkness Codex/Battletome implies that a Chaos Civil War in on the way, The Followers of Archaon VS the Servants of Bel’akor… sounds like cool stuff
Yeah, but both are boring and shit villains. Which is sad.
@@lastbaumstanding1802 The old world one was more intersting for me, honestly. Being a fallen sigmar templar, driven by dispair and an inmense hatred for all and everything. Abaddon and the new archaon are kinda random.
@@lastbaumstanding1802 Archaon is an amazing villain
@@tipodeincognito5660 He's literally the same character. It's not another guy named Archeon; it's WHFB Archeon.
@@Qshafe I know his technically the same guy, what I was trying to say is that his older motivations and origins was what made him more compelling. It happens with a lot of aos characters, Nagash also loses a lot without his history as a human in nehekhara.
Really nice of you to have such a nuanced view of it. I've really been enjoying this setting recently, especially the small stories provided in every battletome!
Especially the Age of Chaos lore can be incredibly interesting and dark
I miss ye olde days of 40K 2nd edition when Sigmar was pretty clearly Primarch #2.
2+Tough Channel is not dead at all. He continues to cover AoS lore constantly in a very enjoyable way and even branched out into other games like Conquest. Not sure what gave you your impression of him Majorkill.
Because he doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, like this was the only thing that mattered
It’s not dead, but he only gets around 5k views per vid, which isn’t really high for UA-cam, it’s a great channel but unfortunately to the algorithm, it’s “dead”, years of warhammer recommendations on UA-cam and never have I gotten his vids, sad really
A dead channel doesn’t mean they make poor content or aren’t involved in the community, it just means they have seen a massive reduction in views and new subscribers from their peak. The point wasn’t that Doug makes poor content but that community interest in Age of Sigmar lore isn’t there
@@majorkill Got it, that makes sense. It's true that AoS lore is very niche, but at least the people that care about it, like Doug, are very passionate and positive about it, which is how I got into it:)
I haven't watched the video yet but I just like to say it's nice to see majorkill going back to a his roots
Not to be a whiny little b*tch, but every single thing he said was through the lens of a 40k fan; he's not going back to any roots :/
Hey man love the work as always. Can't wait for the hoodies to get shipped. I hope you keep making vids and enjoy Thanksgiving
100% would love to see some AoS lore videos, perhaps maybe some comparison lore videos for the chaos gods/armies? I think it would be really cool to talk about the Hedonites of Slaanesh in AoS vs say the Emperor's Children/Daemons of Slaanesh in 40k or something of that sort!
Damn you didn‘t have to do 2+ tough like that

Been watching since your aos videos. Still amazing
Soul Wars really did it for me in terms of lore. Seeing how huge everything is and how cosmic the battles can be made me realize just how much was at stake in AOS.
Been seeing a lot of stuff recently calling established titles a scam. Obviously I can’t verify anything myself, but I’d suggest doing some research before becoming a customer.
*"This night! This night, we open gates long closed! This night, we smite the savage. This night, we smite the daemon. We cross the infinite. We dare to return to the realms of our birthright.

You are blades, you are his shields, you are his vengeance. You are the finest, the strongest, the purest. In pain you were made, but in glory you will live. No purpose have you now but to bring terror to the enemy, to lay waste to his lands and to shatter his fortresses. We are sent now into the heart of nightmares. For ages uncounted this canker had festered across the face of the universe, extinguishing hope from the lands once claimed by our people. The war will be long. There will be suffering and there will be anguish, for we are set against the very legions of hell. But they know us not. They believe all contests to be over, and that nothing remains but plunder and petty cruelties. In secrecy we have been created, and our coming shall be to them as the ending of worlds. With our victory, the torment will cease. The slaughter will cease. We will cleanse these worlds with fire and consign these usurpers to the pits that spawned them forth. Let the years of shame be forgotten! The fallen shall be avenged, and the Dark Gods themselves shall feel our fury! Reconquest begins, my brothers! This night, we bring them war! This night, we ride the storm!"* - Vandus to the Stormhost.
Honestly everything started getting better at the start of the soul wars, also slaanesh unfortunately didn't break free but had enough wiggle room to spit a literal child of itself across the realms essentially creating 2 (for some reason it became 2) demi chaos gods in the mortal realms (real space for 40k people).
2+Tough isn't dead though, he just has a smaller fanbase.

@@felixhampe6480 I don't think Doug was ever that big to be honest.
The funniest thing to come out of the Lumineth 3e battletome is that they all have PTSD or equivalent and are three bad days away from a psychotic break.
Honestly though, AOS models and the 3rd edition game play are really good. I'd rather play 3rd AOS over 9th 40k.
I wonder if this means we'll finally get that final video of the Fixing the End Times series
He kinda stopped caring about Fantasy, so probably not
Also, some of the best lore is in the Battletomes. AoS has done a great job of telling the story of each faction, their history, and how they fit into the current narrative or how it is affecting them. Sons of Behemat is a great example of this.
The thing AoS has over fantasy in my opinion is that I feel fantasy never had any real stakes, major cities never really got touched or taken over and all the named characters stay the same, in broken realms two major cities got destroyed or completely changed civilizations and one of the major characters of the story actually ascended to godhood
I absolutely adore the Kharadron Overlords! Also the Books are amazing adventure tales, may it be with Drekki Flynt or Brokrin Ullisson, they are in my opinion a really good read. Also they use „Gatling Guns“ and Bombs in a fantasy setting d(^_^)
Bruh there's like an entire realm dedicated to Australia how tf ain't you covered AoS sooner
Great video! I really hope you make more Aos content id love to see how you cover it. Especially as i am also a big fan of the Lumineth Realm-lords. Not to be that guy as im sure you are just now looking back into the setting, but slaanesh is still bound currently but is hinted not to be for much longer. The part of slaanesh that is now in the realms is the literal twin children of slaanesh that basically got fucked into existence by morathi swimming around inside Slaanesh looking to gobble up the souls of the phoenix kings. Other than that everything was spot on. Look forward to more aos videos if you end up making them! :)
Aye, Gotrek is a totally different from the world that was. Read all his AoS books and he's still the rough dwarf slayer that will yell at a king in his own court, still calls Nagash a bonehead and Sigmar a hammer chucker, but then when he's not being a complete badass he feels like a dwarf out of time. Lots of dour reflection and uncertainty.
Yet there’s also him slowly shaking off his despondency and cynicism and genuinely trying to help the people of the Realms. In Soulslayer, he saves a Fyreslayer lodge from the brink of destruction by snapping their Runefather out of his madness.
Why would you say that 2+tought channel is dead?
He made 3 lore videos this month and all were around 3k views.
AOS is just smaller, but bigger than the lore videos about blood bowl.
You should totally start doing AoS videos again, I’d love to learn more about the setting.
Part two of Erda.
Never stopping lord Majorkill
Or a short now.
“Once I get more comfortable painting white” is the most relatable sentiment. Still haven’t gotten around to painting my marines cause I want to do white scars. C’est la vie.
Highly recommended reading Gloomspite. It gives a really good insight on how nasty the goblins can really be.
Skragrott’s chapter dedicated to torture is peak
I’m subbed to all 3 of you guys 😂😂😂epic …love your videos brother
I’ve been waiting for a new video!
I live the AoS models, the lore is as you said, foundational... I think it's got good potential for stories if they just fleshed the world a little more... I just like how there's seemingly less unity between the order factions in this setting, as they rip eachother apart as Chaos actually feels more powerful than in 40k... but thats all opinion😅
For me, the age of sigmar game is super fun I just don't really like the setting because it feels like there's no space for actual people to live there. Like I can't really imagine the story of a random person in age of sigmar compared to warhammer fantasy or 40k. It feels, more than the other GW settings, like it's just a big excuse for a tabletop game as opposed to a world I'm interested in seeing the stories of
@@thel33tpenguinftw40 yeah, I get that, I think GW ought to put some work in world building, which they've begun to go about slowly with the introduction of the Kruleboys. It's a relatively new world, I'd hope it would be a matter of time before we reach a point where details on anything and everything matches the other settings standard
Majorkill giving his take on Sylv lore would be great.
Lore has been good for a few years now and honestly it's better then 40k at this point. Many of the characters are as good and we actually get to see most of the different races and factions. 40k by this point is the imperium screaming "For the Emperor" for the millionth time while all none imperim races are either an after thought or forgotten completely .
Majorkill: " I will LOOK for you. I will FIND you....and I will PAINT you."
In my opinion, I do think that AoS will one day become level with 40K in popularity, the models are newer, cheaper and the game system is a lot better
Would love to see more aos videos from you! Check the new lore for goblins and the aos exclusive slaanesh demons.
I’d love to see some AoS videos from you. Have been picking up some models because they are just too cool, but the lore is still an enigma to me.
2+ tough puts out some great AoS lore videos!
Doug's 2+ Tough channel is still doing fairly well and he's a great fellow all together. For those who haven't checked his channel out yet, please do so!
I just really like how the Stormcast look
I really like the flesh eater courts and how they see themselves as noble knights out on a crusade.
Cursed City and Blood of the Everchosen are pretty dark. A Stormcast tortures and crucifies an elf chick in the chaos realm to find and kill the newborn son of Archaon which is pretty damn grimdark.
I hope this video makes people give AOS a chance.
Nope, but that's not majorkill's fault. Nothing could make me interested in warhammer for kids.
Can't do it
Sigmar Marines are just too much.
The setting is just far too watered down
@@PhoenixLord777 Then how come you're here?
@@adrienwatson2179 the sigmarines looking like they belong on a power metal album is ‘too watered down’ for you?
@@anironfarm6056 Dont get me wrong
The models are absolutely gorgeous.
Im contemplating picking some up.. just to paint and display, no arguments from me there.
Im talking about a lore perspective only, sorry, should have clarified that.
Tbh, wouldn't mind hearing about less sci-fi topics on your channel. This doesn't mean I don't watch every video you make these days, but it would be nice to have more varried topic.
My first introduction was with Storm ground. Pretty cool that you can play as and see many characters from several factions.
I"m a fan of 2+ Tough...I guess I'm the one keeping it on life support. I also like his videos on Necromunda
I’m still upset they did my man Settra so dirty. There was a time I remember hearing about in the lord where they were kind of stuck with Nagash being pretty much unopposed dunking on everyone as the sole ruler of the death faction while everyone else had their inner squabbling. Would have been a perfect time to bring Settra back and give Nagash a real rival to worry about.
I am 99% sure Old World models will get AoS rules releases, so I imagine Settra could return then.
I would enjoy more AoS content from your channel. I'm hard on for 40k but have always been AoS curious. I've also noticed the gradual improvement in the setting/characters/stories. I can't wait until the cities of Sigmar faction gets their upgrade as getting the mere mortal p.o.v of the mortal realms is most interesting. Hoping they keep the medieval German vibe of fantasy Empire. Also seraphon interest me but the saurus models need a redo; the art of the saurus get my blood pumping as they are depicted as giant muscular and monstrous but the models are wimpy noodle armed bores.
Majorkill could I suggest you do a whole series where you go as far back into fantasy lore and gradually work your way through the timeline
Best way to fell in love with AoS is by playing ttrpg(Soulbound) or reading books
One of the best things about AoS is that the lore moves forward at a good pace. Some of the bits in this video have changed as the narrative has moved forward

Good vid broski
Saying 2+tough is a dead channel is like saying the Emperor is dead which is heresy!.
Also all the memes about sneaky orcs has finally manifested sneaky orcs. The Krule Boyz play fucking mind games with their enemy and go full psychological warfare, creeping through a poisonous fog their shamans make and reveling in the terror they make the enemy feel
I for one, would love to hear new lore that I know precious little about. Learned a few things from Dead lifts for the Dark gods. But that's not a deep dive channel. So any stories that you've read (& your recommendations) I love to hear
I have to be honest, the artwork and model designs for me are the best I’ve ever seen.
From an painter who wants kick ass models, the stormcast eternals really do bring mythology together with sheer brute force. It’s epic
Really, cause to me they scream Ultra Marines.
Very good video! 100% agree with what you said!!
C’mon Majorkill, get churning out some S Tier AoS content for the guys & gal!
One thing we can take away from this video. MajorKill is punching you in the face Lord's and Lady.
Age of Sigmar gave me more Be'Lakor, therefore it has improved infinitely.
The new lore for Chaos and the Varanguard beginning to question Archaon after his meltdown is cool.
Basically I'm keeping up with AoS as long as Belakor and Teclic remain. So far I've not had many new characters actually catch my interest
2+Tough is a great channel, sir 🎩 It is not dead.
A dead channel doesn’t mean they make poor content or aren’t involved in the community, it just means they have seen a massive reduction in views and new subscribers from their peak. The point wasn’t that Doug makes poor content but that community interest in Age of Sigmar lore isn’t there
@@majorkill sick copypasta but AoS lorechannels aren't dead by any means, the aos community doesn't have as many drama whales like you and gamza though.
@@majorkill so many copy and paste responses..
I have been thinking, here and there, about looking into Warhammer Fantasy lore more. So, I suppose I'm kinda wondering if it's worthwhile to start looking at that for me, if I don't plan to actually get into the wargaming aspect?
majorkill doing fantasy content again? Christmas came early
Would like some more short AOS content I like the art of it and what little lore I know is really cool.
Major you gotta finish your rewriting the end times series, was very good
Waiting for The Hollow King book to finally get into AoS, plus his model is badass
It's a good novel that actually explores a couple of different factions. Spears of Shadow is also a very good novel for new people to the lore.
As I learn more and more about AoS it is slowly taking the spot of my favorite warhammer. 40k just gets boring with it's grimderpness sometimes and AoS has far more variety when it comes to the different races. Speaking of which I would love to see you do a Mortal Realms vs a space marine legion, like what you did with Fantasy vs Ultramarines. Could be super fun and would probably need two different legions
40K is actually weaker now than Age of Sigmar, fights in the warp are pretty common, demons aren’t some unstoppable force ect. Also gods actually being present gives them a huge advantage
fantasy grim darkness was just right for me, because the setting is so silly at times, you have stuff like gotrek and felix stories, you have things like vermintide II's comedy, and in general just the entire setting full of wizards, greenskins, beastmen, settra the imperishable in general, all these make the setting strange and unique, which makes the darker aspects hit that much harder when you realize just how bad it is to live in this world at times. its not like 40k where its often over-the-top grimdark which takes away from it sometimes.
@@sovietunion7643 Then AoS came along and kicked it out the window and replaced it with Sig Marines.
I love age of sigmar lore is awesome factions are cool and models are bomb AF
I'm an idoneth player, and I love how 95% of the race is born without eyes, idoneth get largely ignored in the setting, never getting any new models but the ones they do have a gorgeous.
I have a genuine question about the established titles thing: if it works by you buying a piece of land, do you have to pay property tax for it?
no
Age of Sigmar being really good can only benefit the Warhammer franchise so I hope it grow even more.
Day 30 of asking for a video on Perpetuals in Warhammer 40k and their current locations and status.
Stop doing the "day ... since I first demanded something from you" thing. We don't care how long you've been shouting into the void.
@@PhoenixLord777 Stop doing the "stop doing" thing nobody cares that you're not loved
@@scipio7998 what, stop telling entitled shitheads to stop doing annoying crap? Imagine a society where we weren't allowed to do that. I think I'll keep it up, thanks. Also your salty response tells me demanding things of others is a hobby of yours, which is super sad 😅
Have to ask does the freeguild regiments still have other historical themes like that of 40k Imperial guard instead of just Empire of Man(HRE) in high fantasy?
They’re actually about to get a HUGE model redesign soon. They’ve been having previews of model components the last few months.
AoS still has gotrek that is enough for me to like it
Do you reed the books or audio books?
I think AoS lore is really good at the moment
Dynasty of Monsters for an example is an excellent book even if you are not into warhammer so for a warhammer book it is pretty fucking good
Also i love morathi even tho she a bitch
🎉🎉🎉
Since you made Seth‘s video about warp entities that aren’t aligned with chaos. I’d like to propose a video idea of my own. About what remains of and references to ‘our’ era and earlier things from earth in the time of 40K. That’s something I’ve been interested in for a long time.
PS: Majorkill please tell me if you see this comment. So I know the idea is in your head.
