Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Orks are legit funny as poo poo and own I’ve scratched my warhammer itch by watching Total War Warhammer on youtube, one of the fun things about orks/goblins is that while the units will break and run away fairly easily, they also rally easily so you get this emergent gameplay where half the orks run, turn around and charge back in in waves its pure chaos and highly entertaining

Never played Warhammer, but somehow ended up with youtube recommendations filled with WH40K content. A particular favorite is Arbitor Ian, a guy who started making a 40k lore channel specifically because he was tired of how so many of the other lore channel seemed to be run by guys who were kinda secretly cheering for the fascism of the setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqcv3KJpTZE

Garviel recalled the ancient hieroglyphics of Blahndii and her gluttonous husband, Daggwoud. These teachings, alongside the deeds of The Horrible Haggar and Chyalrlee Bron, gave insight into the terrors within the hearts of men.

the wh fantasy dwarves seem pretty drat cool compared to d&d dwarves or tolkein dwarves, who seem kind of sad and overly solemn in comparison. warhammer dwarves have cool tattoos and punk haircuts and crazy inventions and seem to have a more chaotic vibe. but i dont know anything about their lore maybe they are assholes or something

They also keep a record of every offense committed against their kind by others, which also pushes them into costly wars over their desire to avenge the stupidest grudges imaginable. But part of what makes warham fantasy fun is that all the factions have lovely aspects to their societies: The Empire is chock full of power-hungry despots and horrible religious zealots; Kislev is a "greatest hits" of Tsarist Russia destitution mixed with Stalinist secret police shenanigans; Bretonnia loves starving peasants; Elves...can't go fifteen minutes without affirming their race supremacy.

They got rid of them in 2nd edition because they weren't "serious" enough and didn't "fit the setting" They're back but they stopped smoking cigars and carving swear words into walls so I can't relate to them anymore
