So age of Sigmar? (GW aka Great Wasteland has comited heresy)

So this begs the question....

Is there now scope for a "0K" a setting that bridges the two universes....

could open up some fun options.... Especially with older miniatures....

C'mon surely Gadge already has a set of house rules for this!

If I am not mistaken, the initial fluff was that the Warhammer world was a world cut off from the 40k galaxy by Warp Storms.  

 

Gadge having the inside scoop know more about it than me so I think he has a good explanation of the history of the mythos and how the lore was developed.

 

Interesting to hear, I too had heard at one time that Sigmar was supposed to be one of the 2 missing primarchs. You know the two legions that are listed as "Record Expunged" for Emperor only knows why. however that is what I liked about the old fluff, it left mysteries and questions that were unsolved, ask GW for an explanation and they would say nothing on it, yet with all these mysteries and open ended questions the main story arc still flowed smoothly. It wasn't like soem cryptic messages that doesn't tie into anything that you see most of these days (cough* Planetside cough* bending of Araxus cough*).

 

Now these days if feels like GW has to expaline everything, They rewrote the Necrons into Space Tomb Kings and explained the Dark Eldar's hierarchy of society. It can be argues that the lore was better when those races were only explained in a investigative puzzle of witness accounts and a codex of barely translated alien hieroglyphs. Those two races were more unknown and it gave them a horror that Orks, Tyranids, even Chaos did not have. Warhammer had the Undead that hid inside the empire and the Skaven were everywhere being able to launch an unprovoked attack on a village safe inside borders of a kingdom without warning. Now everything is explained from Tomb kings to where sigmar was all these times, the mystery is removed, the horror is gone and thus the allure of these franchises has dulled.

During 5th, wasn't most of the fluff in the codexes from the imperium's POV, so you could take nothing for granted and the other factions had a sense of mystery about them?

Yes, it's kinda hard for me to feel emotyionaly conected to those **** stormcast eternals when they are efectivly IMMORTAL!

First off all they are bigger than everybody else, got more armor then everybody else plus those **** soulless faceplates wich makes them look like bloody cybermen! Chaos warriors are suposed to be the big chaps in soulless armour!

 

There isn't much sense of dread (will the dwarfs be able to hold off the orc horde?) when you have a bunch of obvious superior supermen prancing around the place.

 

And when they die they die they get teleported back to sigmars crib in azyr to be remade! Good god! Eternals aren't sigmarines... they are bloody necrons! When a space marine character dies you can feel some emotional conection to it despite the marine being some kind of superman. Hell, i felt bad when my fave possessed chaos space marine character from the HH novels died. When it comes to the eternals i just can't give a ****.

 

Do the chaos models look more human to you then the good guys? That's not right is it...

 

Also not sure if i'm a fan of them khorne dudes leting you live if you're willing to join up and go cannibal. I get to live, AND a free lunch? deal!
