I am just happy to know that slannesh is back
Hey can you do lore story in Warhammer fantasy of grand Cathay in the Far East??
Which legendaty lords survived the end times and were brought back in AoS? I would watch that video
I have to say AoS is looking good with 2nd edition. I think give about 3rd or 4th edition then AoS will be like a proper Warhammer tabletop 👍
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion ... which they didn't. They had their asses kicked so hard that (as far as I know) there flat out where no more major human-controlled countries until Sigmar catched all of Chaos off-guard with the Stormcasts and had the CoS hold and defend the Realm Gates.
I do love how all these figures from Warhammer Fantasy have returned changed and combined by the wild magics that broke reality. Then there is Lord Croak who once again just chose not to die or be changed and reality just agreed with him. And this just keeps happening, Nagash has to set up and enact an eon long plot involving massive black pyramids to reshape magic to his will just to come back from the dead but Croak just keeps casually deciding he's not dead yet and it just keeps working
Chad croak vs the vurgin nagash
Nagash exists thinking that all souls belong to him… but they’re just on loan while people are alive. Kroak not dying us basically tax evasion
It's ridiculously funny that no one explains how Archaon came to be, and he just joins a server mid-day while everyone is minding their own business.
Nah this was just the book I was supplied with :) covering more soon though!
I think it’s explained as the Gods of Chaos essentially brought him into the warp to be their Warmaster(IRONY)
Who wouldnt jump at the chance to be a 2 time universe destroyer.
@@TheCorrodedMan "We need someone more competent the Failbadon. Say how good are you with a Bolter?"
I love how mythical this is. You really get a sense of what is at stake: the very fate, not just of a world, but of the very _universe_ itself
Too epic 😮
Its actually kinda lame.
@@josephaulisio9281 can u pls join the other incels in the oldworld 😆
@@Rosarosa106 He can’t. We’re using it for ore in Azyr so we can better combat the forces of chaos, rather than letting the rot fester for centuries while petty emperors indulge their little vices.

@@josephaulisio9281 its lame, yet youre here commenting
Glad to see you cover AoS lore, despite the rocky start, The Mortal Realms are a pretty cool setting, I just hate how we got it.
As a wargammer fantasy fan for years, the rocky start is what gave me some spite towards AOS. But i want to give it a fair chance
If the End Times didn't end the way it did people would have been more open to AoS. But, AoS will always have that shadow following it around and some people will always hate it because of it. Stormcast Eternals got some real nice models though, their Prosecutors are peak fantasy aesthetic.
@Robert Steiner Yeah, without that shadow it would prolly be way more popular. GW really shot it in the foot unnecessarily.
Can you elaborate on the rocky start please? I don't have enough context unfortunately
@@saibgassanov3378 rule was a literal single page sheet, lot of old armies got silly rules, like "If you have a beard you win" lore was very handwavey and not well explained and the maps we were given were an eyesore. Thankfully by second edition, they finally got their act together and made ben improvingly steadily and slowly.
2+ Tough: Finally, a worthy opponent, out battle will be legendary!
He's a great creator much better than me!
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges Ya’ll just have different niches.
haha! that's hilarious! XD thank you for the shoutout, and for @thegreatbookofgrudges being so modest. This is a great channel!
Could be the start of a fifth grand alliance 😁
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges you actually put effort into your videos.
Recently got into warhammer and I think I’ve fallen in love with AoS
Warhammer > AOS
@@lucianaurelius2418 Warhammer = Age of Sigmar.
Did you mean Fantasy Battle > Age of Sigmar?
I can only imagine Sigmar be like "oh shite....here we go again" when chaos entered this new universe too
I love the aesthetics of AOS. Love the content.
Congrats Dude. Hope this means more AOS lore to come. Really wanted to know about all factions.
YES! Im so stoked yall are doing AOS content
Do you think depending on how they implement the realms of chaos in game 3, do you think after lets say 5-7 years of updates/dlc to game 3 we will see total war Age of Sigmar? And since we dont know how we will get there will the north of the map curve to make us go to one big portal that leads to the chaos realms or will there be multiple so all the races dont have to fight over one choke point. There is also how ill it look for chaos in there realm will it be in the center of the realm with the 4 chaos gods on every side of it or will there be portals spread around? Im very interested and depending on how they do the portal system, since if we get Total war Age of Sigmar im curious how they will do it will we get maps of each realm over 3ish games? im very c curious and would love a speculation video on you and other youtuber opinions. I dont know a lot of AoS lore so I would love more videos from that in content droughts of warhammer news and since august we wont have any news that and mod spotlights would be great!
I don't think there will be a Total War AoS. I think this type of world would work better in a Dawn of War style game
@@HeleentheArcane That has to be the most tired and cliché talking point people say about AoS. In truth it would work great in a TW game.
AoS is great in my opinion. It is an young setting, where still plentiful amount of new lore can be forged and new characters and factions established.
Yea, I don't want to be one of those guys, but I am. For real, hearing this just makes me feel more and more justified in my hate of AoS. It sounds like it was written by a 12 year old.
@@sassyviking6003 Is still better than 40K though.
@@1YCARADOFACAO ya that isn’t hard though
@@1YCARADOFACAO Yes.
@@sassyviking6003 And 40k doesn’t?
someone on Forbes described AoS as "HOPEPUNK"
So basically this is a primer episode for AOS...
I like it
Thanks for the vid! Been considering to get seraphon and to fight for the great plan and greater good!
AoS Heresy ? You going the Book for sure. Kiddin aside I like most Lore books and AoS Lore has improved with Broken Realms
Thanks Nathen.
I have been searching for this kind of video for a few years now.
👍
Those kind of videos Nathan are so great. I'm eager to see more of them in the future.
Can we get an update? Thanks for all you do!
I got into fantasy thanks to total war warhammer, and all I can say is, wtf, age of sigmar sounds so fucking stupid.
Thank you for the video, I've been itching to get lore'd up on Age of Sigmar and the latest developments of the setting! :D
I dunno.. Age of Sigmar is too “High Fantasy” for me. Too… mythological. I prefer the Old World because it had its root to somewhat realistic foundations atleast.
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges indeed :)
And that is literally why I like it.
Same
Well, maybe it's not realistic, but it's still very dark. It's about pure Order vs Chaos, Civilization vs Savagery. You can play many grim, dark scenarios.
@@Patrioticification the world itself was.mkre realistic. The settings also.
Thank you for this video. I'm playing AOS since v3 but I didn't know enough about the lore.
I prefer 40k's lore still but know it's a bit more immersive
That was much needed! :) cannot be ignorant about AOS.. It's still our lovely warhammer after all.
I am surprised about not much talk about archeon there tho, would love to hear more about that:)
I went by the book the AOS team sent me there will be more videos to come :)
Great to hear that!
I know this comment is old but here's some fun trivia:
Before Chaos had invaded the Mortal Realms Archaon actually was the Vanguard for Chaos invading many planets similar to the world that was before finding the realms. After claiming The All Points (a sort of gateway between all realms with huge gateways that can move entire armies through) he literally set up a trophy collection of the planets he's destroyed just hanging in orbit of the now called Eight Points for all to be reminded who the Harbinger of the apocalypse really is. Like some of the most cartoonishly metal stuff and I absolutely love it.
@@joemamajoastar8708
Damn summing up all of AOS in 30 minutes really doesn't do the game its credit, but still, this was impressive! I'd love to see you deep dive and give some of these stories, factions and whatnot the time and breathing room they deserve.
It still does nothing absolutely nothing for me. I appreciate your video but no matter how hard I try I can't get into AoS. Warhammer Fantasy was designed by a team of nerds in the '80's full of passion for fantasy worlds and wargaming. They crafted a world with love, inspired by classic fantasy like Tolkien but also adding touches of darkness and reality to make it more relatable to our world. They wanted to share this love with a wider audience and perhaps make some money as a bonus. Age of Sigmar is the opposite. It was designed by a marketing team in the 2010's/'20's whose sole purpose was to sell overpriced miniatures. The lore was an afterthought, created to match the miniatures, to sell to a market and it really shows. It's a sterile afterthought. A near copy paste of the WH40K universe just with fantasy elements. Sigmarines just represent everything I dislike about Age of Sigmar, and man, I have tried my hardest to like it but I just can't. It feels fake and uninspired (unless you count $$$$ as an inspiration).
aint no way warhammer is relatable to our world 🤣🤣🤣
The lore in this setting just doesn't do it for me at all... I really wish I could enjoy this - WHFB has been a part of my life for ages and to see it abandoned for the sake of supporting this instead felt insulting as hell. Also, End Times... Ugh.
As a consequence, I don't think I ever really gave AoS a real chance, but even now that the game itself has reached a state where it's actually enjoyable rather than gimmicky and oversimplified (seriously, that launch was a disaster), I still can't seem to get into it.
Hopefully one day they'll find an angle for the setting that clicks with me...
This epic I would love to see more videos in the future on AoS
AOS may be more incredible than I initially thought….
Thanks for doing this video I hope it will get some more people into AoS.
Great video dude, :)
It's like final fantasy 14 with the addition of the chaos factions from 40K
I quit when they blew up Warhammer Fantasy so I never learned about any of the lore of AoS...I have to say, I'm glad I didn't bother. What a ridiculous half baked mess that comes across like an indi dev tryhard video game arpg plot.
P.S. Nothing against you bud but the Old World was far superior as a fantasy setting to the crap messy lore of AoS.
I've noticed they changed the aesthetic of the greenskins severely. They look almost LOTR-ish now.
Funny enough not really! So the Orcs actually follow the look of some old Orcs from like the 90s!
So what we have now is an old subculture brought back :)
That's only a specific breed of Orruk that mainly gather within the Kruleboyz Warclans, also known as Morruks since majority of them idolize Mork and are more devious almost grot like but with a brawny temper, while their brawny counterparts that look more warhammer traditional and are goofy as hell, they have metal eating war Boars that shit out somewhat soft metal that the Ironjawz literally punch into vaguely armour shaped pieces before it goes hard just to show just how 'ard they are. These Orruks worship Gork.
And Bonesplitterz idolize Gorkamorka in his entirety.
I am here to preach the word of snek even in AoS!
Then you’ll probably like the Daughters of Khaine, Medusa and Lamias for days.
@@InquisitorThomas I only intend to preach for the proper snek, not those half snek hybrids
@@middykins7963 Seraphon then? Unless you want a new Snakemen of Kuresh faction, which is... not very likely.
I'm new here and a bit intimidated to invest in AoS. All efforts went to 40k since the release of the original DoW, but something pulls me here a bit. Is AoS lore as Grimdark as 40k? are the stories and characters ridiculously and stupidly fun like 40k or is it serious? Had to comment first before watching, So I get an opinion from commenters.
If 40k Total war is impossible, how about an Age of Sigmar total war? Before anyone blasts me, hear me out. Unlike the writers at GW, we have AOS:TW with BETTER narrative and great storylines for the factions that GW isn't doing a goodjob with. And since ALOT of fans want to see End Times content in TW:W, (Stormfiends are HEAVILY requested to be in the game) I see nothing wrong with a game revolving around AOS. Plus, AOS is can still use the close-quarters medieval-styled strategy seeing that it is a sequel (Reboot) to WFB. Plus it will give more time and content for GW's upcoming Old World when it does releases. AOS can be focused, giving more time for GW to work on Old World. Thoughts on this?
fuck the wh total war, the rts aspect of the game is so bad
I personally really want a Shadow of Mordor style Aos game with more role playing elements
They should have just used the opportunity to combine AoS and WH40k together and have sigmar be the emperor
just what i was looking for, thanks!
Not tried age of sigmar yet, I should re-use my ancient Tzeentch Daemon army as they exist in every game ☺️
Still think AoS is just 40k lite. I liked the lore or WHFB better.
Y’all are misinformed if you think AOS is any less of a setting than WHFB and 40k. The literal same writers you know and love have been putting out amazing novels on the setting.
The setting itself is very epic and deep, broken realms is a masterpiece of storytelling.
Also the Soulbound RPG has expanded greatly on Age of Sigmar.
I have read many 40k, HH and WHFB novels. I can honestly tell you that AOS is just as good if not more grand and awe inspiring
Laymen here. Is there a link between Sigma & 40K ? Did some writers try to connect these two universes , be it in a book or table top game ?
There’s no real link. But they do share many gods. Such as the chaos gods, the aeldari/elf gods and ork gods. As a result this impacts their culture.
Where are the animations from? The video was cool to listen to but those animations looked like they'd be cool to watch as well
Meanwhile the Lizar- I mean Seraphon have only gotten 1 new model since AoS started with the core units (Saurus, Skinks, Kroxigors) being the same models since 2003 (the very first time I saw them back in 6th edition.
I'm also not a fan of all the named Characters for them being only Slann, especially with GW continuing to sell their models as generic: "Oldblood on Carnosaur, Sunblood, Starseer". If you're going to use their models, at least give them their names GW.
I like to link the two Lores, that Sigmar, is also emperor Karl Franz, then transcended into the Emperor of Man in 40k. Why not?! lol
I still wanna play but this lore is pretty messy and schizoid
Wait, I thought Sigmar just wandered off when he was around really old.
Where was Sigmar during the time of the Old World? Was he just wandering around when the Old World until it got destroyed? Was he cast into the void after that? I'm missing something here.
No, just the writing was/ is really poor for AOS most of the time...
I understand that they needed to update the rules, but I hate that they killed the Old World.
could you put a little bit of music in
it.?
Love the video, but uh, why is Slaneshh standing in a picture where there should be a horned rat?
Last he checked he yoinked her chair.
I'll be completely honest, while I do think GW have improved massively since the (Business 101 crash-course in how-not-to-) launch, I still maintain that the setting of AoS has yet to reach the level of accessibility that WHFB had. I dunno, I just feel it was/is just easier to get a grasp on how the Warhammer world works.
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges exactly, the game was never perfect right out of the gate
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges It's gotten A LOT better, but... I'll still pick the Karaz Ankor over the Fyreslayers/Kharadron Overlords/Dispossessed.
Although, if GW were to release some dedicated melee boarding units and a Khrundhal-battleship...
As warhammer 40k fan, i personally wasn't pay attention about the "fantasy" version and from my understanding when age of sigmar first became a thing its essentially a "Reboot and rework" of warhammer fantasy. I recently got into warhammer fantasy and, of course, "age of sigmar" just outta curiosity but for reason i kinda prefer warhammer old world 🌎 more cause it felt more grounded 😅 than the current "age of sigmar" version and from my understanding "age of sigmar" is essentially a HIGH FANTASY setting while warhammer fantasy old world 🌎 setting was a low fantasy setting.
I think "age of sigmar" would be popular if they focus on the world 🌎 building more and give more details how the world is and how each faction homeland looks like. That way the fans get to have a better understanding. Old world fantasy setting is literally based on our world 🌎 landscape with Atlantis being the real thing which elves occupied it.
I like Aos lore.
Orks are just vibing. Therefore they are the only good faction
watching this to get a basis for realms of ruin!
Cool video man, but try as I might, I can't get into this setting as much as 40k or Fantasy. It's like Greek mythology. It kinda makes sense, but in a super abstract and cerebral way. Hopefully future lore videos help flesh it out and give it some meat. And I hear the tabletop is fun at least 🤙
Edit: Can Stormcast Eternals die? And if not, what are the stakes for the forces of order? Not trying to be shitty, genuine question. Is it just like, don't let x village burn, or is there some bigger threat that wasn't covered in this video?
Stormcast die and basically res pawn in Azyr, but each time they do so a little more of them dies. Also the rest of the order forces are still mortal.
Nagash reclaim part of a stormcast soul each time they die until they can no longer reforge.
So does this take place after the end times? Or is this it’s own thing like 40k?
Takes place after the end times.
@@romanvexillum1991honestly I think it would be better off as it’s own thing or for GW to retcon things to where the end times caused two parallel worlds. One where chaos won that resulted in AoS and the otheb where chaos got it’s ass through kicked
So is this what happened after warhammer fantasy or it's a different story like 40k?
After Fantasy pretty much which lead to it's own thing
im suprised that there was peace in the start
So are you doing aos now
I knew AoS came to be, because 40k outsold Warhammer Fantasy by massive amounts and that Stormcast Eternals are basically Space Marines. But Man, GW basically took 40K and only changed some details for the general lore.
Will total war make age of sigmas games? 🤔
Of course you like sneaky, you old Skaven lover.
Floating black pyramid? I call it a Blackstone
what year is this set in
so its outside of the realm of time
this is really confusing to me but im also varry new to war hammer just bought my first book
For spreading the AOS love I thank ye
Aurore Islands
Great!
That's some sigmar male grindset
Does Sigmar come after the shaven blow up the old world?
He just come back somehow....
God dammit i had been avoiding AoS for the longest time until i decided to dig a bit into the lore today. Wtf GW? I cant believe how garbage AoS lore is. I couldnt even pay attention half of the time cause its so nonsensical. Im so sick of everything being a fucking marvel multiverse. Wtf is this mess? I cant believe this is the same company with the creative and fresh concepts that drew me into wfb and 40k
It’s so hard to visualize the AOS setting compared to Fantasy
What do you have a hard time visualizing?
Is this 40k or no?
Geraldine Pass
Trinston was here. .
who is sigmar
So basiclly age of Sigmar is 30k, you have your varied types of Knife-Ears, you have Necrons ( nagahs's faction), Orks of many clans, Chaos Gods Galore, BONUS The Grate Horned One, and ofc You get Thunder warriors, not yet Astartes, just Thunder warriors, tho one can argue they are Astartes.
I'm gona be an ars and say this, AoS os just went overboard, why, because it messed up hat made fantasy cool and it feel like one of those bad copie-cats of WoW. instead of being it's own thing it feels like it's trying to be 40k, hell to the untrained eye the Storm Boys look like proto Ultra Marines. It feels like GW learned of the joke that Sigmar was one of the lost Primarchs and said " yeah let's go with that".
I've been lsitening to this because i wanted to get into AoS but it just feels liek a much shallower 40k. it has some good idea, for one the fact that they made more Elf Subraces with their own cultures is cool, and Sky Dwarves are awesome, but the way they put them together is just messy. Imo They should have never gotten the gods involved, because now it just feels like a massive game of chess the gods play with one another. it feels like the races have no say in this they are at the mercy of their god's will, before in Fantasy it felt like the mortals had free will and the bods were more of an after thought, sure they influenced outcomes to a degree but their presence was not so direct.
Is Sigmar the Emperor?
so much salt in the comments I'm getting dehydrated
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges I really enjoyed the video, there's always those on AoS content that are spiteful and in my experience they're a very very vocal minority. I'd love more AoS content!
@@TheGreatBookofGrudges And your work really shows. It's a great introduction to AoS and I hope you won't be discouraged to continue. Warhammer hired the perfect person to get more people curious about the setting :)
Ahh yes, GW's attempt at making a bastardized Marvel Universe/Warcraft knockoff despite literally the entire fanbase not wanting it. Very not epic.
Sadly money talk. And even more sadly, AOS somehow bring money, but fantasy before the TW games, wont.
I'm very much not a fantasy fan, but I like seeing how the lore compares and contrasts, (in some especially stupid ways only recently,) and more importantly better understand when people try to reference sigmar when I'm talking about 40k.
Gotta say, stormcast eternals look fantastic
Thank you for the lore of this world I will NEVER care about.
Then why click on the video?
@@michaeljenner2325 To try to care...but no...still can't.
sponsored hu?
I better go and find me a "honest" video
I need the salt xD
Cool models and all but the lore is just meh for me. Nothing seems to have any weight behind it. Legions of immortal angels vs immortal demons. I miss whfb
I do prefer 40k, but no one plays where 8 live so AoS it is.
hwhat
Gud day to tou liver MN Osgood day to you to skin Kady man
As far as I'm aware everyone has a master plan while stormcasts are getting shit on
did a 7 year old write AoS lore?
I doubt that warhammer is going to impress actual fantasy players with shitty AoS lore. I actually played the game before I learned about fantasy and how good the game should have been
It doesn’t have shitty lore. Also they don’t need to impress fantasy plays.
Sigmar ball 😂
Okay hold up?
I was never too deep into AOS
But it Sounds to a great degree as if GW simply reused Bits from the Horus Heresy for the Story
Let's see if you can actually make any of the lore interesting and keep up with it as it being interesting. Because last time I checked, which admittedly was awhile ago, most people abandon age of sigmar lore. Just letting you know man, wish you luck.
I left when you said it was sponsored by Warhammer - congrats on that, but not for me.
well i like it
AoS is so lame man. I don't consider it Canon in the least.
I don't consider it to be real. It's a separate universe from WHFB. The End Times happened and that was it, the world ended.
Yeah, this just seems like a poorly organized mash up of wiki pages.
I would recommend another ten minutes on this and some segmenting. You could have done with better tie-ins between factions and how they interacted.
Mate I used ONE book the Extemis one which is listed in the description. That's what the client wanted thats what I delivered.
I don’t like how much of this lore is just a rehash of what was in warhammer fantasy
