And very iconic, for better or worse they're an integral part of the setting. The main annoyance is that we only see the Sigmar ones and never the frothing maniacs of the other cults at least not on a regular basis so its quite nice to get to see people like the Foamies.

I second this. the pantheon of the empire is really interesting, its such a shame we mostly just see a dozen flavors of sigmarte and a few kinds of ulrican. The interplay of having so many cults is neat.
 
Does that makes sense? You'll more often see Foamborne bonking Holders of the Shore over the head, Knights of the White Wolf running down adherents of the Winter Throne after they burned a granary down, and so on and so forth. You won't see Foamborne going after

Witch Hunters will kill anyone, anytime, anywhere, regardless of affiliation because that's...sort of who they are, as an organization, because GrimDark and Warhammer. Because those people might be serving Chaos, either consciously or unconsciously, and either is a sin worth killing over, even if on suspicion alone.
Yeah that's true. Hadn't considered that.

And wait isn't it even worse that its specifically the Sigmarian ones? Cause isn't one Sigmar's "blessings" literally makes you a paranoid nut job, while his scriptures are...yeahhhhhh.

Jeeze that's like the worst possible combination unless I'm mixing it up somewhere.

Oh yeah the Sigmar Witch Hunters are the most unfriendly. Like they don't even like the god of their god as far as I can tell.

They are unnaturally dickish.

That presupposses he's actually coming HERE, instead of coming from the Drakwald and attacking Middenland to try and snuff out the flame of Ulric or to utterly table Reikland and destroy it. It's possible he's going to help lead the Centigor charge, but it's more likely he's using the centigor crusade as a bluff/feint or to cut us off from reinforcing the southern provinces.
mmm TBF I am thinking with a long term perspective of "what's worse?" Cause in my mind taking the Fulcrum, killin the elves and then amping himself with the Fulcrim and a whole lotta warp stone would let him nuke Middenheim off the map or something.

But you know is a beast man probably doesn't have that kinda thought process??? Maybe.

Purely world building question, but would you say the witch hunters in our times are marginally worse than the canon age ones regarding the colleges due to there not being enough time yet for the Magnus's laws regarding the Wizards yet? Just interested in your opinion on that matter.

There is a lot of assumptions going into even Malagor being capable of winning a battle against Archmage jumped up on the magic juice imho. That place is probably safer than Wulfenburg if we stuck every soldier in our three armies on its walls.

EDIT: Then again, Morghur did nearly kill Ariel, so what do i know.

I have to agree with this, I really do like the idea of a full on polytheist religious landscape in a state at this level of social development. it's one of the things that makes me actually like warhammer fantasy.
 
In other news, it was a bad move that we didn't at least fire Marlissa. Would've at least been a token indicator that we disapproved of how far they went. We were even given so many omakes' worth of her being a deceitful piece of self-righteous little shit relative to the ones who butchered our whole family so we wouldn't feel about about it. Oh well.

Hasn't it gone weird? Or at least off its canon trajectory due to you know them getting a big showing with Sylvania which showed their utility and danger far earlier than expected.

Alongside our own and Ostmark's thing of jadies helping with crops.

It is one of the best parts of the setting and of the many things I hate about recent editions its that the writers went full ****ing witch hunter.

Sigmar everywhere my god that horrific.
 
Alert: be not afraid
be not afraid
Well, be a little afraid. Like, not "oh god every time I look it has more legs IT HAS MORE LEGS" afraid, just "the teacher is frowning at me what did I do" sorta afraid. Because I am actually a teacher, and I am actually frowning at you.

Anyway, the deal's real simple. I don't want to infract people for enjoying things too much. For getting invested in a story too much. Where I'm coming from there's no such thing. It'd put a bad taste in my mouth to do that and I don't think it'd line up with the spirit of this forum.

But the forum does have rules, and it does also have understandings. One of those things that's a little bit of a rule and a lot of an understanding is that when the QM says they're done with a conversation about something twice then what you do is you stop talking about it. You stop responding to people who are talking about it. You let the conversation die. It's lost now, like tears in rain. We'll miss it well.

(We won't miss it at all, let me tell you that from experience).

If you don't do that, a few things can happen. One of them might be that someone like me comes into the thread like this to frown at you. Another might be that you get slapped with a shiny new infraction under Rule 4: Don't Be Disruptive for being disruptive. But worst of all is this: it might be that the QM gets so sick of you that they go "I'm not dealing with this person in my thread anymore" and they ask us to threadban you from the quest forever... which we'll do, because that's a thing the QM can ask for and they don't really need to give us a reason.

Right now we're at the frowning stage.

Let's not get to any of the other stages, yeah?
 
I know we're not likely going to see trains, but I'd like to mention that the dwarfs build trains at some point, at least according to the wiki.

Dwarfs

"We sons of Grungni may have drunk deep from the bitter waters of misfortune, but we yet survive. Whilst a single Dwarf draws breath, we will fight the evils that assail us, and we will never, ever give up." —Hengist Stonebelly, Dwarf Longbeard[3a] The Dwarfs, or the Dawi as they call themselves...

My assumption was basically sends enough cannon fodder to soften em up (maybe even cause a few miscastes who knows) and then goes in himself. Basically take advantage of one of the beast men's big advantages and the elves weakesses.
 
Once the Vapor Tanks can now be produced I have two major ideas regarding them.

1. First, off we share the design with the Altdorf College so its not lost and so they can also produce more Vapor Tanks in Empire and use it to fight against its many enemies.

2. Second, I think we should once and awhile take an action to build a Vapor Tank ever turn or so not only for us but selling it to other armies to use to not only get Vapor Tanks out there but also get large cash infusions.

Such thoughts are probably too civilized, and it supposes he knows its there. Given that beastmen are not tied into the civilized rummor mills, that's a big ask.


Additionally last interlude we saw him in was Drakwald not the hohenzolern forest.

for some reason, number 2 suddenly had me remember the movie Steamboy, vapor jetpacks anyone?

Lisedotte was not related to Heart-Breaker and she was the one that encouraged decitfulnes. Marlisa was against it and has promised closer cooperation. Do you seriously believe ones family should be used to judge a person if they don't at all agree with their relatives stances?

Get it? Marlissa was not the deceitful one, she in fact disobeyed her mother's command to seceracy for going after the stolen gunpowder to get the state army involved.

It explicitly said she's aware she's got a noose around her neck.

*stares at updates trying to involve Cult of Manann more, the interactions between them and the Cult of Sigmar, bringing into question deific dominance and Cult-relations, then the fires afterwards*

Heh. Yeah. S'great. S'not stressful at all to write about.

I would say they are worse than the canon ones because they are still adjusting to the laws and stuff. There's a reason there was an action early on to really impress upon the Witch Hunters that they need to bring Witches in to the Colleges alive rather than kill them outright.

Possibly, but that doesn't mean he can't come to a similar conclusion through whatever logic he does use.

As for knows its there, so many beastmen, so influential and very magically attuned I'd be surprised he missed it.

As for wrong forest, well for one he can fly, two likely teleport and three beast ways. He's got options.
 
Heh. Yeah. S'great. S'not stressful at all to write about.
Projects hugs.

I fear in this case you're a victim of success, cause you did it really well when we took the option you thought we'd not pick.

Instead you showed the half of the Witch Hunters and I'll be frank I am hoping to sea the Foamborn and more Mannan stuff...albeit through a more hostile lense than hoped, but eh.

That's what she says. The woman who's been lying to our face for the entirety of our decades-long association without us ever suspecting a thing.

I don't trust her as far as a baby skaven can spit her.
Pretty sure that's her mom?

It also has an Elven Archmage sitting on it who would probably destroy it rather than let him get his hands on it. Who knows how much magic it outputs with our friend sitting on it and using it?

If you're talking about the picture, that's concept art from the old WH MMO Age of Reckoning, not exactly primary material.
 
We could even have flying bike bombers or archers on the side. Even now with our stuff we are catching up massively in mobility. Hell for fun maybe even pedal based boats for entertainments.

I'm just honestly hyperfocused on having new bikes and the idea of pedaling to and away from a giant angry mob of Centigors.
 
The order of the Silver Hammer is a religious organization that is dedicated to fighting literal gods of evil and their daemons and worshipers. We threw them at a Internal dispute between two factions of a religious organization. It was the equivalent of using a flamethrower to clear away weeds.
