Warhammer End times [Spoiler]

[WookieeMario]

So what are peoples opinons about Warhammer End times?

I found it very underwhelming. Not going to post spoilers since people havent read about it yet. But I just felt so disapointed.

Very hard to talk about without ruining it for people but yeah it was a bit underwhelming but I'm not going to judge it til we see where they are going with the 9th edition.

I will write down

Spoiler:

in the topic name so you can talk about.

The surprise is, so I'm not going to reveal anything. Personally, Games Workshop perfectly rendered honor to Warhammer. The epic duels that have waited were there, battles were grandiose (Glory to the Lizardmen !) and Evil has definitely proven that he was not there just to look pretty.

By cons, how will they manage it afterwards ? The rumors are rife... It seems that the tabletop game continues to evolve, while a sequel to The End Times would take the form of a skirmish game.

So this is what I think : The End of Times' story was excellent, but Games Workshop would be wrong to throw away the Warhammer universe as we know it.

¤¤¤

La surprise est de taille, aussi je ne vais rien révéler.

Pour ma part, Games Workshop a parfaitement rendu honneur à Warhammer. Les duels épiques que l'ont attendaient tous étaient là, les batailles étaient grandioses (Vive les Hommes-Lézards !) et le Mal a définitivement prouvé qu'il n'était pas là juste pour faire joli.

Par contre, comment vont-ils gérer tout cela après ? Les rumeurs vont bon train... Il semblerait que le jeu de plateau continue d'évoluer, pendant qu'une suite à The End Times prendrait la forme d'un jeu d'escarmouche.

Voilà donc ce que je pense : l'histoire de The End Times était excellente, mais Games Workshop aurait tort de jeter à la poubelle l'univers de Warhammer tel que nous le connaissons.

I am.... Disapointed with end times for a few reasons the primary one being that GW went all gorge rr Martin and killed off malus darkblade so..... **** you GW Q.Q


Secondly I didn't like the writing style of at the deathblade and curse of khaine; what I enjoy about wfb fight in books is the very up class and visceral nature of the combat but in those books the fights were done from mainly a large overview mainly to show off the largeness and scale of the conflict furthermore it was my first chance to read of post sundering malekith and that too to read it from his pov but his dialog in the book is soo....bad; his sword gets broken and he "snarls and says I regret nothing"....seriously? And he's not the one to kill tyrion but rather they pull some grimgor ironhde crap from SoM and have the shadow king kill him?


The thing that pisses me off though is the ending a straight up ROFLSTOMP by chaos

[Frenchtouch03]

The victory of Chaos has become a classic for Games Workshop ...

In fact, fans are rather disappointed, I think. GW never should rewrite the Storm of Chaos! In the End Times, Archaon beats :

-Valten
-Karl Franz
-Grimgor Boît'En Fer (I do not know his name in English ...)

Seriously ? In Storm of Chaos, the logic of the universe had been followed : Archaon is tied with Valten and Grimgor is the best... All the old stories were swept away !

La victoire du Chaos est devenue un classique pour Games Workshop...

En fait, les fans sont plutôt déçus, je crois. GW n'aurait jamais dû réécrire la Tempête du Chaos ! Dans la Fin des Temps, Archaon bat :

-Valten
-Karl Franz
-Grimgor Boît'en Fer

Sérieusement ? Dans Tempête du Chaos, la logique de l'univers avait été suivie : Archaon est à égalité avec Valten, et Grimgor est le meilleur... Toutes les anciennes histoires ont été balayées !

Yeah and Nagash, I mean it was awesome that he allied in the end. But they way they killed him felt so badly written

[Frenchtouch03]

Nagash died ? I did not understand it that way... It will perhaps return (Again, that's why we love it !) ?

What I find distasteful is the lack of attention to the "small" Factions : Bretonnians, Chaos Dwarfs, Ogres... I think we do not do them justice.

¤¤¤

Nagash est mort ? Je n'avais pas compris cela comme ça... Il va peut-être revenir (Encore une fois, c'est pour ça qu'on l'aime !) ?

Ce que je trouve désagréable, c'est le peu d'attention porté aux "petites" Factions : les Brétonniens, les Nains du Chaos, les Ogres... Je trouve qu'on ne leur rend pas justice.

[WookieeMario]

From what I understood was that when the rift opened upp fully all magic got sucked in to it. So Nagash just whirted and became dust

[TenTonHammer]

Nagash is hilarious in some ways to me, he is one of the coldest and cruelest characters in warhammer...EVER, as evil as the gods of chaos hell; when you have someone that can out **** Dark elves you know hes cold blooded and when he "eats" that dwarf god he scared the crap out of the chaos gods but when he gets destroyed at the end the chaos gods just laugh wondering why the were ever scared of him.
