A weapon that kills people with the shadow of a mountain is the second most bullshit tactic I've ever read, after throwing lakes at the enemy army. And it's awesome!😎
I forgot.
Other than Khaine, are there any other examples of something like this happening that Mathilde would know about?
Have you already come up with a Quest canon explanation for that when it comes to Smoke and Mirrors? I don't expect you to share that explanation since it seems like a good candidate for a future mystery on the path of deeper understanding of Ulgu and the integration of non-Teclisian Ulgu traditions that we might well engage in in the future, but I'm still curious if you already have an elegant answer in mind.
No, we need to capitalise. If we do this right we can swing the Ice Witches, get the Tsar's approval on us asking Hag Witches for their knowledge and maybe even take a shot at the Fire Spire (the Dhar in there can't hurt us remember). Those are the 'Kislev' hooks, and all of them have potential payoffs re Waystones. It's actually part of why I want to Bind Drycha - she is old. She was fucking there when the Waystones in Athel Loren were being built.
She's not, she's a pulp novel protagonist.
Cages don't mess with peoples minds. It's more like drugging an enemy with magic compliance chemicals- it doesn't matter that you don't actually command them to do anything, it's still very not good to do.
Ah, the Vista Special, also known as the Hammer of Judgment.
I don't have the reference 😁 I was referring to the webnovel « A Practical Guide to Evil », where « lakeomancy » is regularly used. And the dropping mountain part is done by Wekesa the Warlock, Sovereign of the Red Skies.
I might have read that (it rings a bell now that you mention it), but if that's the case I forgot doing so. I'm still looking forward to finding out why all the various and varied (battle mage level) Ulgu users across the continent have thought up and incorporated these cantrips. I'll add it to the list of mysteries alongside encountering Ulgu Dragons, interviewing Kurgan Shamans of the Shadowed One on theology, making use of the liminal space like our colleagues do, glimpsing the mysteries of the Grey Lords, training with/against Eshin-friend and maybe even learning spells from Cathay or Nippon.
I can't think of a single scenario where that happens in canon, unless you're talking about an army piling up on a Bloodthirster and one of them getting lucky. Bloodthirsters are consistently defeated to prove how powerful a particular character is, but Warhammer is, at the end of the day, a story about heroes, not grunt soldier #87. Armies are a part of Warhammer, but the narrative cares about heroes far more than they do armies.
I believe he was talking tabletop.
Tabletop has a ton of things that don't make much sense narrative wise for the balance of the game. In previous Editions, at a certain point it was genuinely impossible for low level chaff to even damage high toughness targets. 6th and 7th Edition had it so that it was completely impossible to wound a target who was 3 points of Toughness above your Strength. That was changed in 8th Edition, making it possible for you to drown high Toughness targets in giant masses of chaff.
