It owes a lot more to stuff like the Broken Sword (the Trolls vs. Elves conflict in that book reads like an Orc vs. High Elf campaign) and Three Hearts and Three Lions (set in a fantasy themed Holy Roman Empire). Obviously, Tolkien is a giant in the fantasy genre and everything will take a little from him, but Warhammer is about more than Tolkien, and really, has little in common with that sort of fantasy romance. I share your disappointment with AoS. I thought I might get some cool stuff for Dungeons and Dragons at least, but the aesthetic is so OTT and some of the new models so outright ugly that I have not picked up any (the high prices do not help). I have always loved Azers for example, but GW fireslayers are just way too ugly to even contemplate for purchase.

My friends and I basically decided to retcon the End Times and tell our own stories. I love WFB, from the Wastes to the South Lands. I see no appeal at all in the bland, polished shallowness of AoS, and thankfully have a group who are equally unwilling to give it much attention. And you've basically plucked the reason out of my own head!Positive Oldhammer chaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477365645457444645noreply@blogger.com
