*Puts Tinfoil hat on*

So I've been thinking what if Abelhelm was actually Sigmar all along? Think about it, have we ever seen Sigmar and Abelhelm in the same room together? No! In fact, the one time Kasmir tried to get Sigmar and Abel in the same room, Sigmar never showed up! The coincidences keep lining up when you consider how Abel hated the fact that Kasmir wasn't looking for help from the other gods of the empire. Why? Because Sigmar used to Worship Ulric when he was alive, and he's on good terms with the other gods. Now you may be saying "Doesn't Sigmar use a hammer to fight?" And you'd be correct. Except, the special thing about Sigmar's hammer is that it has a pointy end at the back, and what does a Halberd have? A pointy bit in the back! Practically the same weapon!

Now you may be asking why? Why would Abel do something like this? Because he would have seen how corrupt/incompetent his church was, and how they were going to refuse to help the dwarves. So he made up a scheme to fake his death, and send the most competent person he knew to tackle the problem. And that's how Wolf joined the expedition. Mathilde could help too I guess.


Or this is purely thread madness, and has no factual basis in reality. One of the two outcomes.
 
In the beginning, thread madness attacks were spaced by 24 days. Then twelve, then six, then every two days. The last one was a day ago. In twelve hours, we could be seeing thread madness every four hours, until it occurs every ten minutes. Thread, we should witness a double madness event before the next update.
Soon, I shall be the only sane voter left!

Then, all shall see Omegahugger's glory! You will all regret laughing at me!

Nope, there goes my sanity.

HOW CAN THE WORST THING( S i g m a r) POSSIBLY ALSO BE THE BEST THING( A b e l h e l m) !? THEY SHOULD CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT AND ANNIHILATE THE WORLD IN A GIANT EXPLOSION!

Actually this makes a disturbing amount of sense and I'm not sure if that's just the update withdrawal talking or actually sensible this worries me. Does that mean we have actually pining after worst god!?

Why do you think he was so frustrated with the Grand Theogonist and Kasmir?
"Boy, you must be great at your job. I bet you identify the true intent of your god all the time."
 
I'm worried about our wizards. If each of them gets a survival roll there's a decent chance one or more will die.

Depends on where they are and their deployment. I imagine Johann stayed with one of the artillery squads to give them a reroll, so maybe he's with clan Huzkul. Hubert is totally staying with the Undumgi, so he's probably dealing with trolls right now. Panoramia is staying with the Halflings, and they haven't been deployed at all, so I expect her to be fine. Maximilian is a big question mark, but maybe he's staying with the Gyrocopters? Gretel and Adela are also big question marks, but I don't expect them to charge into the thick of battle.
 
The Wyvern Caves vex me. If we could stop the Waaagh from entering them through anywhere but the the Caldera we win. As it is though it looks like they can be accessed from West Gate or even outside from the karak. I think we'll have to send people over there to collapse its entrances, which'll be more inconvenient than collapsing Yar's. At least we have time to do it.

Boney has said that the only land entrances to K8P are the east gate and the west gate. So the orcs are not able to get in from outside. Looking at the greyscale map it looks like the wyvern caves are part of the greater karag Zilfen system. But those maps are terrible at showing where things actually are.
 
< Hmm. Kazok, Kazgal and Kazgrom like tall women. I wonder if she likes bearded lads? Sure, they say that manlings and Dwarves can't have children, but have any of them actually tried?
Wait a minute I just realized, dwarves liking tall (wo)men? That's perfect! Just imagine all the mountain-based innuendos you can make! :V

Oh god the thread madness really is setting in isn't it.

The Wyvern Caves are probably higher up the mountain, well above the Caldera.

Nah. To be serious, I reckon that we're not exactly doing him a favor. We might facilitate change but Belegar is looking for Dawi who are changing.

We're still doing him a solid - just in the short term way that doesn't really solve his long term anxieties. Still reconquering Karak Eight Peaks certainly solves a metric ton of Belegar's problems in the short term.
 
So assuming that everything goes well and we at the very least hold on to what we gained without any significant loss of life, how smug do you all think Mathilde will be when it comes time for the council report?
No smug just a quick semi depressed report then go home to sleep in the tower, eating in bed, reading bad romance for weeks while ignoring everyone pleads behind a locked metal door....does Warhammer have ice cream? If not that would be harder to recover.
Then Kragg drag her out for a cheer up Mathilde party hosted by everyone she knew.

A Warhammer version of Pinkie Pie is making the party.

Also steam tanks are apparently an impossible to replicate one hit wonder tech that tends to messily kill anyone who tries to actually figure out how they work.
Sorry to bring these up again, but apparently its only 5 favours to get a master engineer of Zhuufbar to have a crack 10 to get their grandmaster/guildmaster (and likely the best engineer in the Karaz Ankor unless the one in Karaz-a-karak is better) to have a go.

They'd likely succeed where humans have failed, and tell us how the bloody things work, giving us the steam engine.

They're selfish, they're greedy, they're treacherous, and contemptuous of advancement. they cling hidebound to they're gods dogma even when said dogma is actively harmful to them. They're short lives may mean they're grudges may fade, but it will also mean that they will inevitably forget the lessons taught by history, ensuring they get stuck in ruts or repeating the same set of errors every few generations, and that wisdom will die with the wise men.
Most of those ain't exactly traits unique to humanity :)

Arguably if we go by Teclis they're traits we suffer comparatively less from at least by elven standards.
