If you think about it, beastmen are the most diverse of all races. But they shit in the woods, have violent orgies, murder each other and are only united in hatred against pure humanity.
there aint no forest on Vraks. nor anything. just fine wasteland covered with trenches and craters and barbed wire...like Krieg 2 but with a little icing of Nurgle on the death world cake
Reminds me of how the wood elves acted in when first worked in total war warhammer 1. Before balance patches they would quickly confederate then explode onto the map taking over everyrhing. A few campaigns i played basicly had them as a much bigger threat than chaos.
Arch i genuinely love your videos and watch almost all of them. I really think you’d do an amazing job with AOS stories and battles, your favorite old world is still there, just very changed. i think you’d like it, and your videos would be spectacular!
My first love army and ALL TIME FAVORITE part of Warhammer Fantasy (before everything became stupid): The Wood Elves/ Athel Loren This was a legendary release! Just take a look at the cover of White Dwarf Magazine No. 308! Even today this design looks so strikingly unique , so otherwordly strange but is at the same time still a true embodiment of the archetypical noble Elvish warrior...graceful? yes but not Tolkien-esque, more like a mischievous pan who steals your child for his armies and swaps it for a changeling made from a block of wood, or just randomly decides to hunt you for entertainmet because for him you are nothing more than an insect! :D Whoever designed the concept/aesthetic for the Asrai is a genius and my personal Jesus! All i know about painting i learned in the dark ages without online tutorials - because the miniatures are so worth it! Especially the dryads look spectacular with ice blue osl...but i digress:)
Well he started his channel being a Warhammer fantasy loremaster. Then he went astray with 40k..... So this is a ''back to the roots video''. And I hope he does stay close to his roots.
Awesome lore vid arch, it’s good to have lore Friday back. But outta curiosity if I may make a suggestion of lore topics of an old promise, maybe possibly; lore vids of ghaz gul mag uruk thrakka and commissar yarrick
I wonder what relation the Branchwraiths have with the Dryads. The dryads are from what I recall, awakened by the ward spells that allow wood elf souls to posses dryad body after death, so it is not taken by Slaanesh. Are they more elf, or more wood spirit? Or something else completely.
Reminds me of the One Forest from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Alive and slightly sentient. And still willing to kill and eat those that worship trees/wood, and even those that know how to use wood without harming the tree.
I was rather intrigued/confused by the mention of a council of forrest spirits in the Orion omnibus. It goes along with the problem of the forrest having a fragile compact with the Wood Elves, but also goes into the tenuous link between Orion's reincarnation and the forrest's own assent and support. Does that mean there are other version of Athel Loren's greater spirits, like Durthu but with different hosts and attributes?
I wonder if it would have been possible to spread trees like the oak of ages. Might have been a way to diffuse chaos more naturally. Then again, the old ones probably thought the same in creating Athel Loren. Even given a familiar form and a familiar nature, the unpredictable nature of chaos remains.
Thanks for another Lore video wish you could do more then one a week but i understand the amount of time these videos take. Could you do a imperial Navy overview like the guard one you did a few years ago.
Yeah, you've covered the hippy elves. | 20:40 - I wouldn't say that it was higher than them, but certainly different. | The Bretonians are the exception, mostly because they have an understanding with the forest, enough of one to reduce the risk of getting themselves killed.
In all seriousness, Warhammer fantasy & World Of Warcraft, have a lot of similarities when it comes to elf Woods Elf's and Night Elf's druids are similar to the extreme. They are both one with NATURE (forest and BIG TREES), and they both grow horns. Both turn into animals.
One magical woods are the same as any magical woods, I mean I spent so much time in the Fay Wilds at one point or another that my eye glow green when looking into the fire or any source of light is shinned at them, and several of my compatriots have gained similar features, the half elf sorcerer wizard mage guy's eye now glow a bright blue when ever he casts a spell and I think he has been juicing on magic roots again, the dwarf warrior got a bit more tall, the high elf babe got....longer hair and I think bigger boobs, well minus the wood elf he just has pair of antlers growing out of his head,....wait scratch that its his hood, But in all nerdy honesty it always great when you make lord videos , I really love you for that bro, all the best till next time,
Would you brave the forests of Athel Loren for the chance of finding your elf Waifu/Husbando? Fail and you die, succeed and you will be a legend that will live in luxury for the rest of your life with a forever young, beautiful, sexual active partner. That's the advertisement the local Bretonian lords used when they realized their peasant population had overbred by accident. But didn't want to stain their noble hands with filthy peasant blood or the work of getting rid of the bodies.
Actually, I am a bit disappointed that Arch skipped a major part of the reasons why the Forest and the spirits have gotten so angry lately, namely the Beastman Morghur the Shadowgrave. His corruption was the one that warped the minds of the Branchwraiths. Though given how intertwined this part of history is with that of the Wood Elves it might be covered in such a lore video.
