  1. What up Connor, hope ur good bro, hey man I gotta say, in the sum total madness abundant in media discourse, from cancel culture to "defund the police" and all the many other vomitus ideas my generation's collective consciousness has been spewing into the zeitgeist, I find GREAT respite in your intellectual pontifications and through them I find myself able to reconcile many of my concerns with the human condition of today and mitigate their depressive effects upon my reality as I experience it… more importantly, your videos have GREATLY reduced the ratio of times in which I have climbed a clocktower and started shooting in proportion to the times I have THOUGHT about climbing a clock tower and shooting, and i'm proud to say that the resulting quotient remains to be zero at the time of me writing this. I will let you know if this changes, though you will likely not hear back from me directly… instead, of it, I suspect that through the peripherals of both news media and word of mouth you will most certainly be made aware of changes in said ratios numerator.

    At any rate, I felt that you should know your time on this channel is much like the Emperors time on the golden throne after Magnus fucked everything, in that your content fiercely combats the endless hordes of warp demons that advance upon my brainspace at nearly every moment I interact with millennials, old white liberals, and several other chaos tainted groupthink-spawn conjured up by the foulest of my human contemporaries, all of which I yearn to cast into the sun. It is their foul taint upon my mind that your videos help in exercising, occasionally returning my thoughts back to the emperors graces, marked by moments of perhaps not 'joy' but rather 'NOT blinding rage', your eloquent thoughts buttress the madness and helps one make sense of it all…oh lol, I just got that… "counterpoints"…exactly, that's exactly what I mean, wow, I JUST got that, a testament to the despicable thought-clutter that plagues my mind each and every day. sigh

    Anyways, thank you shield captain Connor, the imperium is in great need of the emperors light of which you bring in such great abundance with each new video without relent. Godspeed sir and thank you.

  2. While I'm more neutral on Age of Sigmar I'm more a fan of classic fantasy because it's gritty low magic grimdark it doesn't have the same absurdity that 40k has and is much more relatable comparatively meanwhile A.o.S is so high magic that it doesn't have the grimdark feel that both fantasy and 40k have.
    And over all transition wasn't need they thought rebooting fantasy as A.o.S would boost it's popularity but it's lore wasn't fleshed out and the stormcasts being space marines with a fantasy coat of paint didn't help but ironically with the popularity of vermintide and total war fantasy has become more popular in death than it was in life so they bring back fantasy as Warhammer:The Old World.

  3. They have made an announcement how they going to do massive "reboot" of the city of sigmar model line

    Which yeah im exited for it as model creativity is definitely AOS strong point

    Also i think that think was a tzeentch chaos spawn due to the the blue flame and raven shaman we see amoung the tribe which is tzeentch signature bird

  6. i always thought the "monster" was a avatar of the horned rat (the skaven god) not only for the aesthetic/appearance but because of the fact that a champion of chaos wouldn't be so animalistic (i understand bloodthirsters would be somewhat of an exception to this but the "monster" didn't look khorne affiliated at all) and have some form of stratagems in place to go about their conquest of said realm that they have been summoned to and keep their followers, which many actual champions and greater daemons do to give themselves an army and allow true followers ascension into daemonhood and in turn giving strength to their god.

    my only thoughts as to why it would be an avatar of the horned rat and not chaos directly is that these marauders seem to worship chaos undivided and therefore not acquired more favour with one god or another due to lack of sacrifices.

    but idk probably wrong just a a thought XD

  7. What's really interesting about Stormcast (and what, in my humble opinion, makes them more interesting than Space Marines) is that they are made up of repented Chaos worshippers as well. In Plague Garden, we meet a Stormcast who was once a Champion of Nurgle who got smacked with Ghal Maraz so hard he got turned into a Stormcast, and we saw his perspective on Chaos and how its insidious nature doesn't just warp the body but also the mind. He gives a good argument that most people who worship Chaos aren't irredeemable, and many could be saved if you came out of them from a different angle. Truly interesting stuff.

  8. The sigma episodes are really good they really should do a series I would 100% get wh+ if they did thank you for posting these conner and its nice to get some lore behind it aswell 👍

  9. The beast is most likely a chaos spawn. In lore chaos spawn are champions of chaos who received too many gifts (mutations, magic, etc) from the chaos gods that they become an abomination of nature and go mad. Not one chaos spawn will ever look the same as another. Also in lore some tribes worship a chaos spawn for they are the true forms of chaos given form, even though they can be just as dangerous to tribe that worship them.

  10. Hey guys, maybe don't cut your hands just before you need to do stuff, hands are useful iirc.

    p.s. For Sigmar! We must defend our homes! [ I've spent way too much time playing Total War: Warhammer 🙂 ]

  11. GW can suck it, they rob me of enough money already. I have no need of explanations but your lore input is still enjoyable.
    Edit: I know little about the deeper lore ofAge of Sigmar so some background info is very helpful.

  12. So from my understanding unlike the 40K chaos worshippers the mortal realm residents who worship chaos retain more sanity and reason. It makes sense since they are the ones flooded by chaos against their will and they have incorparated the chaos into their culture thus being more stable. But 40K chaos worshippers are not flooded by chaos or forcibly incorparated it as their culture. They cling to chaos out of spite or anger against the unjust universe. It's not a culture but a symbol of anarchy and hate to them. So that makes them less stable, maniac daemon worshippers. Most of the 40K chaos worshippers would find that monster beatiful instead of calling it "thing".
