I don't understand anything about any of this, but I really like Karl Franz.
What's the best option for reading more about him and the cool things he does? I don't wanna play the game since it hurts my head when I watch people use rulers and like fifty dice then ramble off some demonic code language, but I like to read and watch.
Jacob Gonzalez
The elf pantheon was a mistake. Dark elves should only worship Khaine aka Khorne and Slaanesh.
Grayson Myers
KFC himself only rarely appears in the novels and such before the End Times ruined everything. He's in several of the Genevieve novels and also features in the third Ulrika book, albeit tangentially.
Liam Reed
There is Prince of Altdorf novella but it comes only with box copy of TWW Old World Edition.
Luke Bailey

They did a great job with his VA. Hell, the VA in general is just the right side of Ham and scenery chewing

Never ever.
Brandon Martinez
I thought that was just some existing short stories repackaged in a new collection.
Jacob Evans
I will look into these, thank you.
I like humans in fantasy and I cannot really explain why. He's just neat though.
Yeah the game is what made me look into it more, since I really liked him in-game, then realized he does lots of cool lore stuff.
It's a shame the lore seems difficult to get into if you want to focus on one aspect, rather than the entirety.
John Murphy
Its new story about Karl's election written by CA writer.

I'm halfway through the first Lord of Chaos book and his acceptance of being the chosen one happened way too quick. >S-sigmar senpai, n-notice meee! >. . . >WELL FUCK YOU, I LIKE CHAOS NOW I guess one could speculate that it was because he had a peice of Warpstone lodged in his eye, but it still felt too sudden.
Grayson Lopez
Cubicle 7 just re-released all of the WFRP 2e PDF's if anyone is interested.
What? "Everchosen" is the first book. "Lord of Chaos" is the second book when he is all in the way into being Everchosen and the book revolves around his conflict with his dad.
Either you made a mistake or you just reading random exerpts from the web. In Everchosen, he attempts suicide, goes to his adopted family house only to find it burned by the Imperial church police that want to murder him because he is basically the antichrist, and then after a lot of the shit his last hope is going to the Big ass Sigmar church in the capital to pray to Sigmar. The Guy who out of options at that point.
Brandon Bell
Karl changed a lot by edition, so most stuff he's in is totally different from each other.
He went from shitty ineffective ruler to purehearted ineffective leader to master politician that can't lift 10lbs. to what you see in TWW which is best boy.
Although short and Karl is only on two pages, the best thing for you is honestly the comic that lead into the dead Warhammer MMORPG.
Josiah Perry
Another company made what is totally Finubar. He's holding a Phoenix chick.

seriously though, how many games of FB have you played in the past week? eh? exactly.
Isaac Wood
Get out of here you subpar troll.
Fantasy is more than just the tabletop - Im running an rpg campaign with my group currently
Logan Sullivan
They Grey magicians? I've never seen AoS players at my LGS. The boxes actually have dust on them, lol.
Ayden Hernandez
Same. Players are going to Kislev to get raped.
Parker Cox
It is kind of weird how Archaon comes off as a Deviantart OC by someone who wrote him up in 15 minutes while listening to Green Day.
I do like his Fantasy counterpart a hell of a lot more than the End Times one though. At least the Fantasy version of Archaon is meant to be the story of one man's loss of good, descent into evil and madness, and when it seems like he has it all he loses it all and fails completely, escaping with nothing and wearing "Everchosen" only as an empty badge of dishonor. A very nice little tale fitting in with the rest of the world, and a nice example of, along with all of the Storm of Chaos, that even when evil seems unstoppable and unending, it can still be beaten and hope (Order) can still prevail.
Then End Times just makes him a nothing personnel kid shitter and evil wins because they can xD x3 >;3
Asher Jenkins
I never played.
I purchased models and modded/painted them for competitions and read Black Library novels.
Compare to AoS "players" who kitbash with Space Marines and play in grey before moving onto 40k anyway.
Gavin Perry
We're having an expedition to the southlands
Ayden Davis
Don't forget that in AoS he's a Chaos God and also still has good in him, destined to wield Ghal Maraz after killing Sigmar.
Asher Kelly
Just bought 8th edition rulebook and reading. Can't find anybody that wants to play WFB. Either 40k or Fantasy40k.
Ethan Baker

Landon Cooper
Yeah, that dude is basically Coldsteel the Hedgehog now. Unironically too.
Nolan Long

Christopher Harris
Surely they could get raped at home?
Colton Smith
But how does he fair in the age of slam
Robert Lopez
Do you even realize how popular Warhammer video games are right now?
Axing WHFB seems to be the best decision GW ever did. Unintentionally.
Hudson Lopez
Id they didn't axe it could thrive in sales.
Brody Perry
>Don't forget that in AoS he's a Chaos God and also still has good in him, destined to wield Ghal Maraz after killing Sigmar. What..?
Also has the chaptcha images you click on started loading out and back in reaaaaaaally slowly for anyone else?
Nolan Peterson
Nah. System was legitimately terrible and people playing video games don't want to waste time painting 50 skeletons.
Dominic Nelson
It gets better.
>All the Chaos Gods want to kill him so they keep sending their best to kill him >He kills everyone sent after him and becomes stronger by consuming their souls, so he's effectively draining the Chaos Gods of their power >As Grand Marshal Of Chaos every Chaos being, Daemon or mortal, must obey him as if their own Chaos God gave the order
>Nagash is god of death so all souls of the dead go to him >Archaon killed Nagash again, trapped all the souls in a giant cage so the afterlife is now literally Archaon saying "GET IN THE FUCKING BAG" >Archaon killed the biggest monsters that existed in this new world, just because he could >Archaon could save Slaanesh from Teclis and Tyrion. But fuck Slaanesh >Archaon could get blessings from Great Horned Rat. But fuck rats
>The leaning tower of Archaon is, according to GW, the best selling and most popular model they've ever made. Totally true, no you can't see sales figures or the survery results
Nathan Lee
azhag is goofy and cute.
Cameron Jackson
Litteraly what.
Daniel Gomez
I fucking loved painting my Lizardmen. Painting saurus is my zen
Gabriel Reed
>likes:atheism Now hold up just a second, are you saying Archaon was in leauge with Malal all this time? Storm of Chaos suddenly makes sense.
Oliver Phillips
He is a demigod, not a god. And Archaon was always a good man at heart. He simply misguided and lost like all sinners. He rages at the evil he is doing and seeks absolution.
Also Ghal Maraz is his by right. It is known. Sigmar owes him that.
Andrew Diaz
The fuck are you talking about?
Christopher Fisher
AoShittery.
Evan Hall
videogame sales do not equal tabletop sales or vice versa
Brayden Sanchez
yes, which is why Dawn of war did nothing for 40k
Aaron Wilson
Dawn of War 1 boosted 40k sales.
Brayden Bailey
>>He kills everyone sent after him and becomes stronger by consuming their souls, so he's effectively draining the Chaos Gods of their power
No, he fed their essences to his horse. That's why it looks freakish now.
>>As Grand Marshal Of Chaos every Chaos being, Daemon or mortal, must obey him as if their own Chaos God gave the order
There are still thoses in Chaos who rebel against him since Archaon doesn't conquer. He destroys. Leaving wastelands where nothing can prosper and live. No shrines or mighty kingdoms. Just emptiness.
>>Archaon killed Nagash again, trapped all the souls in a giant cage so the afterlife is now literally Archaon saying "GET IN THE FUCKING BAG"
No, the bone cage is just the bulk of Nagash's armies being held prisoner by Archaon. Souls go to the depths of Shyish.
>>Archaon killed the biggest monsters that existed in this new world, just because he could
He captured I believe three. He didn't kill them.
>>Archaon could get blessings from Great Horned Rat. But fuck rats
The Horned Rat is dishonourable and craven to the point that Archaon who is used to dealing with Tzeentchians cannot stand it.
>>The leaning tower of Archaon is, according to GW, the best selling and most popular model they've ever made. Totally true, no you can't see sales figures or the survery results
It was a WD vote.
Adam Sullivan
Except Malal was kind of cool because he incarned the "retarded" side of Chaos, the side too mad to accept to work with each other, the Chaos devouring itself; the inherent paradox to it.
Archaon is "Nuthing pirsonal kido".
Chase Ross
This shit looks like One Punch Man villain.
Thomas Watson
No, Archaons shitty writing must be a plot by Malal cultists at gw to make people hate chaos.
Ayden Wilson
Are there people who actually like his shit? For real?
Oliver Lee
But it would be no fun! For them at last.
Kayden Price
>He rages at the evil he is doing and seeks absolution. he could just, you know, stop. since he apparently has free will
Jason Adams
Honestly I've never seen anyone profess to like Archaon and not be trolling or 14 years old.
Sebastian Sanchez
>The leaning tower of Archaon the what? you mean the Dreadhold?
John James
[citation needed]
Noah Evans
>Malal punched trough the 4th wall to make people hate on Chaos
That's pure genius.
Michael Martinez
All of the end times and aos seems like a plot designed to make people hate GW and Warhammer who aren't hyper-Chaosfags themselves.
Cooper Nelson
See huge boost in 2005, and 2017 because of Total War Warhammer.
Brayden Sanders
Demigod and god has no distinction in Warhammer.
He's a Chaos God.
Lucas Adams
If that was so easy, then there would be no sinners. A hurt and broken man cannot be mended that easily.
Ryan Sullivan
...
Kevin Clark
No, the fuckheug tall shitty model.
At least Ma'al Drakkar was well done.
Matthew Lewis
False. It exists. Archaon is said to be a demigod. He isn't a being of the Warp. He doesn't have his own daemons. He merely has the magical and physical power akin to a god.
Brandon Mitchell
Yeah the licence is valuable, doesn't mean the WFB would be
Colton Ross
Look at this shit. The blowjob-tiers edgy title made me laugh too.
Jacob Ward
So he's a god.
A god aligned with Chaos and empowered by it.
A Chaos God.
Easton Clark
Archaon is said to be the flame that will devour everything in existence before turning upon itself. Archaon is Malal but way cooler.
Connor Campbell
>but way cooler
Way gayer and lamer desu. I like Fantasy Archaon but ET Archaon is a fucking sperg.
Owen Gomez
Nah, like all demigods. Archaon can die for reals. he is just a beefed up mortal. Who keeps refusing daemonhood by the way.
Nathaniel James
Meanwhile, for the same price...
James Reyes
So he's a Chaos God.
He's just not the same kind of Chaos God as Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne, and Slaanesh.
But still a Chaos God because he is a god, aligned with Chaos.
Not to mention Slaanesh recieved a permanent wound from Khaine in 8e, so the four are not immune to harm.
Grayson Allen
I'm going off of Dwarfs: Stone and Steel.
Elijah Evans
>Archaon is Malal but way cooler.
Nathan Scott
what the fuck are you saying? the cold ones HAVE been released
that's just the 3×sculpt they do before the casting process
Noah Baker
I'm going off of Grudgelore, penned by Nick Kyme and Gavinthrope, the loremaster.
David Sanders
And his mount looks stupid. Dorgar on the other side is fucking rad.
Daniel Perez
Not for lizardmen.
Ryan Ward
>females are 10-20% of the race but are not baby factories
Who the shit designed such a retarded race? No wonder they are dying out.
Camden Cooper
That thing is mutated Dorghar.
Nathan Martinez
>gav thorpe
gonna stop you there
Angel Evans
But user that IS Dorghar
Gavin Evans
to be fair, dwarfs are insanely hardy, extremely long lived, and just generally resistant to the shit which usually kills infants and children
Josiah Barnes
>round of hip, wide of girth and heavy of bosom
Hunter Baker
So do elves, they don't heave any diseases except for chaos inflected.
Samuel Green
So can anyone explain what happens to Karl Franz? Does he die in end times and he's dead for good? I love the guy and it'd kinda be shit if he was like the only big bad ass that didn't survive into AoS.
