I wanted to start getting into the lore of Warhammer Fantasy, but my friends told me to not bother and to get invested into 40k instead since it’s more popular and Fantasy will disappear after support ends for Total Warhammer 3. Is this true?
You should get into the """lore""" of Jesus
No. Despite Age of Smegma, Warhammer Fantasy still has a fanbase. The question is do you prefer a smaller niche series that gets less games/support ORRRR a bigger popular series that gets lots of games/support
I like fantasy better. The big blocky guys in 40k just look off putting to me
Just read some Gotrek and Felix. It's a good time.
>>744685262Your friends are fucking retards, Fantasy clears 40k easy.Too bad it was killed to turn it into fantasy space marine slop.
My dude even GW themselves brought back and is continuing to support fantasy with The Old World
>>744685262warhammer needs a slice of life universe where everyone is just in a big mixed world.warhammer fumoffu
>>744685262>Is this true?Warhammer Fantasy has had continued lore for years now, even on the Tabletop in the form of The Old World which is an official Fantasy revival set 500 years before the previous edition of Warhammer Fantasy.There is plenty to enjoy.
>>74468526240k being more popular is exactly why you shouldn't get into it.
>>744686210>warhammer fumoffuNo one here gets that reference.
shiggymar is more like scifi fantasy. its NOT a replacement. its a different thing. they did try replacing fantasy with it but its so different that it didnt work so they brought fantasy back as The Old World. thats what thats called now, warhammer tow
>>744686675imagine how fucking good it would be though. all the named characters either as staff in a school or working in an office or something. i like the school setting better because chapter masters would be teachers and their marines would be students. guilliman as the vice principal. principal emperor is 1 to 1 a skeleton on the throne never fucking saying anything
>>744685262not really GW is still doing TOW and we are getting a new edition of WFRP in the next three weeks
>>744685262Why do you stupid normies get into games like they are some kind of careers to invest in and getting into something niche is something that would ruin your life?Do you retards skip movies that aren't trilogies either?
>>744685262>getting into the lore of Warhammer .Just play the vidya and have fun, lil nigga. Warhammer [_____] "lore" is basicaly the sweet talk 16th century explorers used to trick indians into trading shinny beads and pocket knifes for gold and land.Most of it is just random crap used to trick fat faggoty nerds that this season new overpriced plastic is different from last season overpriced plast. Vidya will do the job of filtering all the garbage for you. No need to "get" into it.
>>744687836The lore isn't why people buy the overpriced plastic, the lore is why the overpriced plastic is painted the way it is. You buy the overpriced plastic because you like the look, or it will do well in your army, and the lore has nothing to do with that.
>>744685262The Warhammer Fantasy IP is doing better than ever seeing as they just remade nearly the entire Chaos Warriors model line between the actual warriors and the marauders.
warhammer was never meant to have "lore" that you consume like a comic book. it was just supposed to be a backdrop to explain why your army of toy dinosaurs would be fighting your friend's army of plastic skeletons. gw already took a shit on fantasy with end times and now they're ruining 40k with primaris capeslop. don't become a lore tertiary, just play the games and experience the settings how they were meant to be.
>>744688410Even GW knows the End Times was a mistake, but they're too stubborn to retcon it out of existence.
>>744688542They at least brought it back after a decade. Comparethat to, Marvel and OMD
>>744688176Damn, 40k will never get this level of detail cause it will filter 95% of the customers.
>>74468902540k models can get pretty detailed, but it's rather army-dependent like all the inqusistor models are pretty detailed
Fantasy doesn't have anything as unique as the Adepta Sororitas
>>744687178>gelt challenges the patriarch for his rank>"HAHAHA, WE'LL SEE HOW YOU DEAL WITH MY FIRE SPE-">"LORE OF METAL"
>>744689308>unique as the Adepta SororitasWhat's unique about them?
>>744685262>but my friends told me to not bother and to get invested into 40k insteadGe- Oh god theres more>because its more popularGet better friends.
>>744685262In 2026, something disappearing is a good thing. Less chances for faggots to fuck up the lore with retarded shit.
>>744689427nuns with guns chainsaws and flamethrowers
>>744689308>Adepta SororitasMordheim, Sisters of Sigmar
>>744689025Highly detailed models are a nightmare for big army games like WHFB.
>>744689571Too late, writers are already scrambling to retcon it all.
>>744687836Warhammer fantasy lore is so unoriginal that you can go into a game like TW:W completely blind and it’s not unlikely that your head canon will match the actual lore.
>>744689726Tolkien hands typed this
>Entire Total War franchise was probably about to be put to rest by SEGA after two horrendous flops in a row with Rome 2 and Attila>Warhammer Fantasy was completely forgotten for decades after 40k>Both franchises combined into one game which saved both from extinctionKino
>>744689979It's still funny to remember GW's hateboner about video games and how they thought it'd kill their wargames only for it to have the exact opposite effect and single-handedly revived an IP they previously murdered.
>>74468526240k is for homo erotic retards who are into hulking faggots. Fantasy is for dudes who like elf toes in there mouth and to drink with dwarves while ashing fucking rats and raping vampire sluts
I stand with Garlyman...
>>744689334god just imagine the rival schools. vice principal yvraine talking mad shit at guilliman during the summer festival while their students duke it out
>>744690546>>744690546>vice principal yvraine talking mad shit at guillimanThen they sneak off somewhere... Haha...
>>744690676>bullets flying everywhere during the sports festival until everyone realizes their vp's are gone and they have a sinking feeling they know why so they just sheepishly stop fighting and go home
>>744690048And Vermintide a bit, but Total War did the heavy lifting
if Fantasy is such a good setting why does it have no modern rpgs? Why are we stuck with Total War, and memetide?
>>744691504it does have TTRPGs, but if you mean CRPGs(and let's not count the Warhammer Quest or HeroQuest game), no Warhammer RPG system had till Rogue Trader.
>>744691504I wish we had a few WH fantasy crpgs by Owlcat before they went balls deep into 40kOH WELL
>>744691865Owlcat would be a bad fit for a WFRP CRPG imo
elden ring style game, warhammer tow. no lore dumps. cryptic hints. you just exist in the world as an outsider on a personal journey experiencing the horrific battlegrounds that is warhammer as every faction is against you because you are trespassing in their captured lands as a rogue agent.
>>744692075nah its a perfect fit, WHF is slop and Owlcat makes slop
>>744692396If there's one thing we don't need more of, it's rollslop Zanzibartlikes.
>>744692648thats where youre wrong. last thing we need more of is warhammer rpgs of any kind or left 4 dead
Fantasy/End Times is more compact into one world and more kino if you're into real world history and geographyI can't stand 40k where every game/book/story is another OC new planet with OC new characters etc and has nothing connecting them to other stories aside from the posterboy Cadians and Ultramarines showing up.Also Kerillian and Morathi best faps compared to any 40k bitch
>>744685262You should get into the one you like more. Or both. Fantasy is way better but 40k has waaay more content.
>>744688757They only brought it back to cuck other fantasy tabletop games
>>744692910why does the warhammer world just have more mexicans where the niggers should be? isn't that kind of racist?
>>744685262Ignore your friends. Go Fantasy since it is far better than 40K. 40K used to be good until 8th ED started. It's now genuinely fake and gay.Meanwhile Fantasy dying actually saved it from the same treatment 40K got and The Old World is finally giving it the respect and love it should've gotten. All thanks to Total War Warhammer forcing it to not die.
>>744692396>PLAY THE ROLL SLOP GOY
>>744693335they're in north americaliterally called niggeroth
>>744685262>I can only enjoy things if everyone else is enjoying it at the exact same time>not even just from a personal enjoyment standpoint (which would also be pathetic), but my friends will literally excommunicate me for liking something that people liked but moved on fromwhat are you even doing with your life dude? How did things turn out like this?
>>744693460>you dont want to stare at a map while moving icons again?NO
>>744686090>tfw just finished zombieslayer and now i have to read end times shit shamanslayer into zombieslayer is so fucking good
>>744691504I'm sure owlcat is gonna make one after dark heresy
>>744692910LUSTRIA... HOME...
>>744694640Please no. They will not be able to actually implement a proper feel of "Playing a peasant, get pox and die".God I already see them making some bullshit about you being a Border Prince or Merc Company like Grudgebringer, but shit and gay, since if anything Owlcat makes worse than CRPG is their shitty campaign battles like that homm-styled aberration in WOTR
