    Amazing video, I think that Games Workshop is developing the Slaves to Darkness fantastically well. I cannot wait for the new tome and I am looking forward to the release of Godeater's Son and your review of it. I might make it my first Black Library Novel since I was roughly sixteen many ages ago.
    Be'Lakor has always been my favourite character in the setting and seeing him getting some wins is fantastic. I know that Archaon will put him in his place proclaiming, 'this is bad comedy' in his best Galvatron voice.

  • @kbunlimited
    @kbunlimited ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Given that Eternus was created by Be'Lakor destroying his mortal body with Stormcast lightning gheists and then inhaling those gheists and breathing them into his desecrated form to reconstitute him in black lightning and how when he dies, he reforms in said black lightning, he's very much the first Chaos Stormcast. I hope Be'Lakor creates more and makes Chaos Stormcast as an army a thing in lore. Did you notice the new lore added for Archaon how he decimated several worlds between the old Warhammer world and the Mortal Realms and how the Slayer of Kings permanently corrupts any eternal champions or godbeasts slain by it?

    • @cursling9
      @cursling9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @kbunlimited ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@cursling9 Yeah, it's in the new book that Katakros repeatedly has his physical body destroyed and his Mortisans build a new one cause he keeps being assailed by Chaotic visions, but it doesn't make them stop. Even Vandus Hammerhand is losing it, he lost control at a speech, he's assailed by visions and is rumored to speak in a voice that's not his own and when not on duty, he confines himself to his cell in Sigmarabulum. And the Godbeast, Ignax the solar drake is said to from his slumber "opens one baleful eye, a glimmer of dark magic within..."
      It's quite an interesting update and makes the handiwork of Uzhul more interesting. It hints that even Sigmar himself fears the blade because of this

    I think it would cool if they had a story where Archaon does break into Azyr from the 8 points but Be'lakor was waiting for this and did some things to weaken Archaon so he does get defeated (though he does get revenge on Be’lakor in some way), but also Be’lakor also hides a bunch of his troops in Archaon’s forces (invasion force and those still guarding the main base), sowing confusion in them. Then he gives the signal and Be’lakor’s forces start attacking Archaon’s forces and the forces of Order. It becomes a giant chaotic fight. Because chaos doing what it has done in the past and turned on itself the forces of Order are able to drive the chaos forces back.
    I think it would also be cool to hint at this. Like Tzeentch wizards could get a premonition if Be’lakor’s betrayal and tries to warn Archaon.
    IDK probably not gonna happen but seems cool

    @cursling9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Apart from Archaon having the most bad ass title in the whole setting, Archaon the Everchosen, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse 🤯 the other reason I'd follow him is because he is just a dude who can withstand speaking directly with the Dark Gods! He calls Tzeentch out on his BS daily, he had a chat with Slaanesh whilst breaking her chains and was just like "shut up, whisperer of lies, I'm doing this for me, not you. You owe me." He is a guy who took over the Mortal Realms, survived the explosion of the old world to conquer new ones. He's playing 3D chess with gods, daemons and mortals alike all at once whilst both defending and attacking territories. He killed the god of death!! The man has a reputation. Whilst Be'lakor is a daemon who is bitter that he isn't Archaon even though he hasn't achieved what Archaon has

    When it comes to Slaves to Darkness, I'll side with Archaon.
    Mind you, when it comes to Chaos in general, I'm a Tzeentch-daemon-girl. I like daemons, but only tzeentchy ones. Be'lakor is daemonic, but he is undivided. If I have to choose something from Chaos Undivided, I'll take the mortal-passing stuff. That means choosing Archaon over Be'lakor.

  • @MisterDragon
    @MisterDragon ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I do hate how they completely nuked the Daemon army list for Be'lakor.
    On a narrative level, I have always preferred Be'lakor over Archaon, even back in fantasy. Ultimately though, I prefer running a more personal style chaos army regardless of those preferences myself, with my own characters... Though I might get Be'lakor at some point.
    For now though, my chaos side narrative is all about Meresankh, my Lord of Change.

    Archaon Evershosen everyday. He is the war host of the apocalypse. I love belabor and the schemes, but Archaon has so much more potential. He hasn’t even ascended to Daemonhood and he’s on par with Belakor if not his better. I would say in terms of blindness though it’s possible Archaon can fall to Belakor’s state, where he is damned for his transgressions against the gods. But he is yet to receive such a damnation as Belakor did. I think because of Archaons plays against the god are what does it

    I feel the same way about “god-level” characters. I don’t mind minor named characters, but a Primarch/Silent King/AoS Diety doesn’t seem appealing. I like to make my own Warlord with their own backstory. For Slaves to Darkness, I’m converting up a Sorcerer on Manticore. (Dedicated to Tzeentch that is) Belakor does seem cool, but I like the Varanguard so thanks for pointing out that Eternis is ex-Varanguard.

    The real narrative beat we need is a consequential Destruction win over Chaos.
