Based, sounds like a huge improvement. No wonder Helsmiths of Hashut sold out while TOW continues to flop.

How is this going to affect playing the game?

>huge improvement
Why?

>>97533255
I enjoy more the lore than the actual gameplay. And GW can't stop retconning everything they revisit.
>>
>>97533007
>>97533262
Hashut's origins in fantasy were never really explored, and I think it's once explicitely mentioned that they're not sure what exactly he is. The possibility of him being some sort of fallen or corrupted ancestor god was discussed on forums in the early 00's.
As for his aos incarnation he seemed to have always been a cunt even before turning to chaos.
Also aos and fantasy are for all intents and purposes two different settings, let's be real. Even if they're technically connected "changes" in the one don't really affect the other too much.
>>
>>97533007
Hashut's origin was never clear in Fantasy and it ranged from "evil ancestor god" to "aspect of khorne"
And in AoS his fluff sounds like it's coming from a blatantly unreliable narrator
>>
>>97533423
>aspect of khorne
funny, not so long ago a guy from my local gaming circle told me of a Total War theory saying that Hashut are just Slaanesh and Tzeentch in a trenchcoat, just like how the Hornet Rat is just Nurgle's furry cosplay
personally I prefer things outside the big four just being left undefined. Hyper detailing the fluff is just autistic hyperfyxation disguised as actual world building
>>97533007
AoS is shit, and its lore is absolute, liquid shit. You should be ashamed of yourself for making a threat about this topic instead of taking it to its general
>>
>>Dwarf's Ancestral God bla bla...
I dunno if you're just too illiterate to notice the army book saying that's simply what the chorfs believe while implying that it's just their narcissism speaking, or if you did notice and are just trolling now, but either way you're a retarded sack of shit.
>>
>>97533423
>>97533497
It is kind of funny how many people are just incapable of realizing an unreliable narrator no matter how obvious they try to make it
>>
>>97533662
I think thats why 40k has been removing the mystery of its setting. People are just too retarded.

AoS version of him works a lot better because he just doens't have enough unique things about him to be a chaos entity separate from Khorne.
Now you can at least have a debat over who is the real dwarf because with Hashut as either 1) The actual #1 dwarf god banished by his lessers who feared his power 2) 2nd rate godling that wanted to be Lucifer/Morgoth and be more important than he was.
We are asking what the truth is and what is the destiny of the dwarfkind, rather than having obvious good team vs bad team

I get your points and I'm not a big fan of AoS myself, but Hashut (at least for me) was so cool because appeared out of nowhere and became a true challenge for Order and other Chaos Gods.
And it's tiredsome how every time I found a cool "Z2H" ('zero to hero', in this case 'dæmon to god') characters then there is a retcon about who he actially has a glorious past, ancestry, previos life, etc. We have this cliche since even before Hellas, and with Roma was even worst
>peasant town rise to became the only power of the Mediterranean Sea, which becames the 'Mare Nostrum'
>actually Roma was so powerful because it descendent from Æneas of Troy

Sometimes, the 'humble origins' are more epic than the 'glorious / archaic forgotten past' trope.
>>
>>97534651
I dont think you know what retcon mean.
>>
>>97533662
Yeah, I mean... fucking hell. The battletome straight up tells us that Hashut was a god that came to the Helsmiths-to-be and groomed them into accepting a faustian bargain. And it tells us the chorfs are too arrogant and stubborn to admit they're servants of chaos, even as their fangs grow and their eyes glow. And it does all of that before any of the bits told from the helsmith's PoV where they claim Hashut's their ancestor.
It's a subtle as a fucking bull centaur charge if you just read the fucking book, but I guess that might be the problem. Maybe some wiki or lore video bungled it all up, and so here the kids are with all sorts of retarded ideas?

It's like when Dark Elfs used to openly have Khorne symbols, yet not considered themselves chaos elfs

All chaos gods should have delicious nipple ring piercings.

>>97536954
Man, I totally forgot about this one. I swear, Oldhammer art looks so cool.

>yet not considered themselves chaos elfs
It kinda was the point of Chaos (in early editions), it's so chaotic that you can be in and out depending of the contenxt and convenience.
Now it's just all that is anti-Order and not only evil but disgusting.

No.

Can you tell us how this will affect gameplay?

Some total war zoomer who didn't want his thread to die I guess

did the artist really had to give an evil demon lord suckable nipples and a strongfat belly? I'm not gay, I just notice these things.

The good ol days. Man modern Warhammer is so gay

All of this pales when next to the poor decision making that lead to beardless dwarfs.
>>
>>97536954
Warhammer used to be so fucking metal.

>>97533397
The sooner that any official connection between the settings is broken and both games are allowed to be their own thing with no reference to the other, the happier that every player of both is going to be.

A good way to keep the thread alive would be to talk about how this will actually affect playing the game.

GW will never, ever do this for the same reason they'd never shitcan AoS unless it became a genuine millstone-tier megaflop in future: it would require them to accept and acknowledge that blowing Real Fantasy up in the first place was a mistake. That even if they wanted or even needed to make AoS, the way they handled the transition was petty and spiteful and almost certainly unnecessarily so.

Between the egos of the faggots who write the "lore" these days and the fact GW is now a fully corporate creature, that will never happen in a million years - both breeds consider accountability and self-reflection to be poison.

Oh hey, speaking of ACTUALLY shitty retcons-can't believe we went from Dark Elves being spiteful failures to hardliner Dark Elves actually being the most faithful representation of true wartime Nagarythe culture and Morathi being a jilted widow who never got over Aenarion seeing her as a pump and dump who just dropped literally all her plans to try to be with him reincarnated in Tyrion's body instead of the ruthless, unfettered opportunist knowingly dooming the entire species for Chaos gibs.

Human women don't have facial hair your mother not withstanding not so for the mighty dwarfwife. Though it is irrelevant when this is clearly a beardless male axeman.

It isn't thoughbeitever.
I also don't know why female dwarfs not having beards is "shit writing" to you, it's not even really "writing" it just *is* within the warhammer universe. Sounds to me like you got caught being a little lorelet who only gobbles up whatever headcanon sloptubers told you and now you're desperately trying to pivot lol.
>>
>>97533662
Normies and autists have one thing in common: reading only the surface level details. Subtext and implication to them are like air to a fish.

>>97533007
How can one thing in one setting retcon something in another? Take your fucking meds anon.

What fucking pivot? I have only criticised one thing, shitty beardless dwarfs. Cope harder.

I dont get the point of minor chaos gods. If you have the choice of worshipping a god, why would you ever not just worship the most powerful? At least with the main 4 ones, its not always entirely clear which is the most powerful one.
>>
>>97557844
And you've never defended your opinion on why beardless dwarf women is a bad thing. As the dissenting opinion, it is your place to defend it.

Sometimes you want something more bespoke. Someone who can corrupt you and your relatives personally rather than delegating it.

Lmao.

Don't bother, he doesn't really hold any opinions, he's just here to be annoying and grandstand. A true autist would explain in detail what about dwarf women not having beards makes him seethe so much, but this one is just a secondary so he can't do that.
