Haven't gotten that far yet, I'm about to start Volume IV: Thanquol.TenTonHammer wrote:

Right on. To answer your question, I have not read the Curse of Khaine. Is the "Curse of Khaine" an official "End Times" novel? Or is it just a separate story entirely? The only reason I ask, is because I thought I purchased the whole "End Times Collection". The following books I have are...Scrilian wrote:Not a long time fan, that's for sure. The first I've read was the Trollslayer back in 2007 so by the whole FB standards is rather late to the party. And from that day forward I embraced the WH FB 6-7th edition rulebooks. Although some of my old-timer friends disliked the ET quite a bit.Hooley wrote: I'm relieved to here there's someone in my camp. The scale of this conflict feels Toklien. I thought Khaine was phenomenal, I couldn't put down the book. Alith Anar is like Batman, Malekith's redemption/fulfillment of destiny was awesome, the merging between the three factions was solid, all-in-all I thought it was great stuff.
Are you a long time fan of Warhammer Fantasy? I'm starting to think one of the reasons I have a positive perception of this lore is because I'm new to the hobby.
Have you read the Curse of Khaine novel yet? It accompanies the Khaine Vol.3 and provides a more personal look on the Malekith and his hatred driven saga, plus clarifies some grey spots from the actual ET Volume, like why did Imrik betrayed Ulthuan or how did Funibar die.
Holy Sigmar!! Are you kidding me?! I dropped the ball hard on that one, although I'm relieved the volumes I do have still hold well on their own without preamble stories from the novels you listed above. Nonetheless, this is very helpful Scrilian. Thank you for enlightening me.Scrilian wrote:Well if you are reading only the Volumes, then you are missing out on almost half of the story.
Here is a close enough chronological reading list:But still some of the previous saga's should be considered mandatory, like the whole Gotrek and Felix series, Time of Legends series, Vampire Wars and some small series about Thanquol, Skarsnik, Queek etc.Spoiler:

I understand Games Workshop would want to make more money, just like any other company with a successful IP. But isn't it true that a lot of Warhammer fans called for the story to progress for both Warhammer Fantasy/ Warhammer 40K? I thought there was a lot of feedback from the community of players wanting the lore to stop remaining stagnant. Or am I incorrect?Ninepaces wrote:because essentially one of the greatest fantasy worlds and games was ended because GW thought they would make more money with a new IP, when all they had to do was slightly fix the rules of the game.
the story itself was full of plot-holes and unsatisfactory endings for certain races.
Good deal, I'll definitely have to give that a gander! That sounds great, I was puzzled with the flames and Phoenix King discrepancy, glad there's more clarification on that.Scrilian wrote:Then if you just finished Khaine Vol.3 - read the Curse of Khaine right now, it fills almost every plot hole and the story actually quite funny at times where Naggarothian Tyrant tries to indulge himself in the Ulthuani etiquette and bosses his "nephew" around.
And some serious insights on why he should be the one who saves his people, why he failed the flames and why did he burn.
