#AgeofSigmar #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop
Sigmar didnt just abandon the realms. He stole ALL the good fighters and THEN abandoned the realms.
Atleast Archaon stands by his followers...
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 Archaon is the people leader :D
Don't forget that he attempted, but failed, genocide against the Beastmen and then succeeded in genocide against the Dragon Ogers (in the sense of removing them from their homeland and killing a bunch in the process.)
Another fantasy world where the 'heroes' are actually the villains but because they are 'civilised' they get to write the history books ;)
@@Badartist888 well for Humanity and good yes. Remember that these beings were artificially made by chaos and killed millions in fantasy. Sigmar is good cause in his first life he rid the greenskins from humanity and saved all of them, then he defeated the first chaos ever-chosen, and he beat Nagash and prevented the world from dying without a chance for a rebuild
wait..
so Nagash made a black pyramid again.
tried to cast a spell to kill everything and resurect it as his slaves again.
Only to be foiled by skaven... again.
The guy just doesn't learn does he?...
Yea, he doesnt ever learn. But eh book does call out that "This seems familiar" lol
Nagash is mad and narcissistic... it's in "his nature"
I know right. He's like 0-3 against those guys.
AOS is written super shitty.
We-we wreck this man-things whole career. Again.
Excuse me? Four, Chaos gods? Someone doesn’t like horns and tails and cute, little whiskers.
May the Horned Rat bless you. :)
You got me ;)
Matt Nice Please stop. There are no giant rats living under the city. Now begone, before I change my mind and call the Witch Hunters on you.
@@Xenophon122088 Ahem. The GREAT Horned Rat!
Dont forget hashut either. Thats 6, plus there was a 5th chaos god that was constantly warring with the other 4 in eons past, so thats at least 7 ...
Age of Myth: We survived! Chaos did too? Freaking Nagash...
Age of Chaos: We're all going to die? Sigmar did what? Freaking Sigmar...
Age of Sigmar: The Stormcasts are beating Chaos? We can build homes and cities again? Yay Sigmar!
Soul Wars: Nagash did what? It didn't even work and now we might repeat what almost killed us all when this universe began? Freaking Nagash again...
Yeah true
I appreciate how you have managed to summarize everything so completely that even when you simplify it it still makes complete sense. Great work !
Well Age of Sigmar sounds awesome.
Join us!! :) Thank you for watching :)
Done
So in short nagash is just a overconfident fool just only fooled by the skaven for the third time
He will learn someday I hope
If he was going to learn he would have the first time around. Nagash will always be the talented and overconfident douche
To be fair, he isn't exactly overconfident. It's just that when all the realms send their armies to stop you from doing your gigantic ritual it's going to be a do or die (heh!) situation even if there are some sneaky ratmen sabotaging you again. The video did a pretty bad job at describing the scale, circumstances and aftermath of that event to be honest. Also while his ritual didn't work quite as intended it did strengthen him a good deal, even gave him a whole new army and Mortarch, so it wasn't even really a failure at the end of the day.
He became a god after the old world blew up for a reason. He IS extremely capable and powerful (even back then when he wasn't yet a god he killed other gods). He's on the same level as all the other new gods. He's just not good at making friends, but then again he's powerful enough to have a whole faction under his thumb while Order and Chaos is split between multiple gods.
It should be noted that Nagash began planing to betray the other gods and collecting resources for his black pyramid the instant Sigmar freed him.
Super solid point, I could certainly have clarified that better.
Nagash sure is a stupid fool.
As a beginner entering the world and game of ‘Age of Sigmar’, this video is absolute perfection. Absolutely amazing. INCREDIBLE narration and wording and easy to understand. Thank you so much! New subscriber!
I don't care about playing the game but love painting the models and reading/ following the the lore. It's fun fantasy. Thanks for giving a great overview :)
I instantly fell in love with the lore of AOS especially the Stormcast.
Can we petition this to be an animated series?
I would love to play me some PeaceHammer XD
You are in range for blowing a kiss... Plus 3 to hit. 😂
Cuddle up boys
PeaceAx?
There is only war
My partner would prefer PeaceHammer roflmao
Meanwhile one Angry Dwarf demigod roams the Mortal Realms grumbling about new things and slaying anything that gets in his way.
Awesome video! I’m ready to get lost in this rabbithole. Here we go.
Wonderful! Thank you for coming along for the ride :)
I have hope for a more great love for Age of Sigmar in my cold country - in 2021, almost 50 Warhammer books were officially translated. Mostly it's 40k (and the Horus Heresy); and only 6 books of fb; and only two for Age of Sigmar. The translation quality has improved, however. But the work on the translation of Soulbound is still delayed.
I hope so too!
Ok i got a week of Vacation to learn and I've built 6 armies of 30 & 40k already
"1 & Half year Mission ✔"
So let's Give this a real Shot Don't Let Me Down Man I'm Counting on u to inspire me to invest HEAVY!
Even though ive been following this channel for id say almost a year, I still found the synopsis helpful. Thanks :-)
Yay! im glad!!!
AoS is like ancient mythology, just as messed up as norse or greek. Love it!
Of all the Age of Sigmar Lore videos out there , your channel is the absolute best . You have a good tone of voice that is pleasant to listen to and your videos are well structured .
I'm going to work for Games Workshop soon and i need to catch up on AoS Lore as i only have an in depth knowledge of 40K , and your channel is being a great help :)
Not a bad start for a new story in the fantasy setting! Age of sigmar hell yes
Peacehammer is when you collect, paint etc. but don't battle
I've just assembled my Soul Wars box set so really enjoying this. Very useful video. Great job
I’ve been against getting into AOS lore but you’ve actually gotten me interested. I’m definitely gonna watch more and see where it goes. Thanks
So how has it gone?
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 I am now excessively knowledgeable of the lore at about the same level I get to with most settings lore... history nerd gonna history nerd
@@CorsairPrince hah now that's a relatable problem... Well not problem... Trait
"Archaon isn't really important to the overarching thing"
He's basically the reason Age of Sigmar even exists as a setting. He's the reason warhammer fantasy is fucking dead, he's the man who brought the end times. If Archaon is not important to the overall setting I don't know who is.
So he was important before not to what going on know lmao
Debatable on whether he brought the end times
@@CookingandWH40kVideos I’d say The Great Horned Rat and Ikkit to. Since the rat and ikkit in one move took out everything south of Sundenburg. Without them Archaon would be murdered by Mazdamundi. While also destroying Nuln, Estalia, Tilea, Border Princes, Araby, and a lot more of the empire
Games Workshop killed WFB, Archaon is just a plot device
the word you were looking for is a magical FOCUS, an object that funnels a person's power!
I have yet to play a single game of AOS and always thought its story very random. I just came across this and i like the way you explain the major events. I have subscribed and will be listening to things i need to catch up on! Thanks again!
Back after 10 years breake, Corona did bring something good with it, when having to find any thing to smile about these days. Slave to Darkness 2000p nurgle Alliance on the painting table. Ty for this upload, the lack of lore at the end of Fantasy drew me away.. the love is back.
Just yell "CHAOS WON!" over and over into the cam, and from that imagination will fill in the blanks. :)
Awesome compact lore video- I feel ready to dive in!
The realmgate wars was also my favourite video by you :)
Aw, thank you!!!!
I know some people are upset at losing the old world which I felt delivered a more dark but somewhat grounded fantasy setting. Sure there are mages and magic but it's incredibly rare and insanely dangerous. Yes there are vampires and werewolves but mostly in their respective regions. Miracles from faith are rare and genuine miracles. It was nice.
But AoS I feel does try to do something a bit different. Many games like to hint at a golden age long past, whether it's dark souls or destiny. AoS went big and is trying to actually MAKE that world, that golden age of gods, magic and titanic struggles between colossal entities that are practically forces of nature. It's not a bad angle.
Thanks for the content. Played 40k way bac in 3rd edition too sometime in 4th then stopped. I returned in 8th about a year ago as I loved that they were evolving the story now and all the new models and such. Was amazed to find that AOS had replaced fantasy. It looks really interesting and am.thinking about getting into it. I love the lore in 40k and after watching this am now as interested in the lore for AOS so thanks for peeking my interest.
Glad to hear you're interested!! :)
@@2Tough Yea trouble is, as you mentioned, u have 200 or more videos... that's alot for me to catch up on lol. Any ideas on where to start? Again thanks for the content.
I'm about to buy my first starter box of miniatures ever. I'm all about lore so I needed a jumping off point and this is perfect. I'm coming to this from Vermintide games which sparked my interest in the world. Reading up on warhammer fantasy lore online has been daunting so thank you for this video. Truly appreciated!
Awesome! and welcome to the hobby!!!
Vermintide also sparked my interest into the lore. Now I am starting to collect AoS models I’m starting with night haunts because I love the look of the minis.
Yeah ya know Acheron he's a really cool dude, he just destroyed the old world and plunged everything into chaos but... no biggie.
“As you may have noticed, this game is not called Peacehammer Age of Sigmar.”
Your passion for AoS is contagious, I've just walked down to the local GW store and got a Age of Sigmar starter box, looking forward to trying it out with my partner :)
Majorkill brought me here, badass content!
This guy and pancreasnowork are my go to for AoS lore. If you're at all interested in battlereports I would recommend Season of War!
Solid work as always, my go to for aos lore.
Just recently got into AoS and bought a Nighthaunts figure. Hope to learn more!
For those who were wondering what the link is between AoS and fantasy like me: www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/aphgad/how_does_warhammer_fantasy_and_age_of_sigmar/
As a fantasy nerd, is like warhammer fantasy and AoS connected in same way like the AoS happening after the end times? If so why are characters like Gotrek or Archaon still around? Did the gods just reincarnate them or something?
Gotrek is just too cool to die. He is alive in his body. He just can't find a death glorious enough for him.
Great work. Greetings from Poland!

Nagash- “I still got this”
I started with 40k and then I found out there were fish people (DeepKin), then I found your channel and Age of Sigmar is my favorite game and I have 3 armies now. 😁 Thank you for this wealth of information.
@Something Mildly Homophobic faithless monster
Love the videos, it's nice to sit and listen to while painting the mini's. It's also helpful to get caught up with the current lore after the end times...
This vídeo helped me soo much! Thank you
So it's basically the Emperor making Space Marines.
It's just 40k yeah
Emps couldn't handle Sigmar
The story so far: the old world was a beautiful complex world full of extraordinary cultures, stories, and characters. Then the Great Warlord fd up and destroyed it all. Now, warhammer is full of spacemarines
I mean have you looked at any of the new models, they are actually pretty good, but I do admit I'm just not a fan of the world this is set in.
You missed a bit let me help you. It is also full of holes, shitty writing, restriction unoriginal reality copy pastes and being held back by old writing. Coming from a fantasy fan.
AoS lore in a nutshell: Fantasy wasn’t selling well, GW wasn’t updating, and Total Warhammer hadn’t come out yet so they blew up the planet.
Honestly, if they'd waited and seen just how much people loved the setting of total warhammer, they could've just pulled an 8th edition on WHFB, and we'd have so much better of a setting
@@marcusaustralius2416 I think that they could have updated the rules and added new races and models without destroying the world. I think they are starting to correct that mistake and bring back more and more Warhammer models and factions. The rules could still be improved a lot though.
Oh and they wanted to trade mark everything of course :)
@@sclarke6969 I don't really understand how trademarks work but I don't see how they can trademark dwarfs and ghosts and orcs just because they changed the names.
@@mart8675309 did you miss them trying to trade mark "space marine" a few years ago?
This is what you got in place of the Old World...good for you
One year later, is there any update? Just found this now and enjoyed it very much
So AoS problems caused by
1.Chaos
2. Nagash
3. More Nagash
- probably more Nagash
Just watched this excellent video and took a closer look at your channel. It is a goldmine for AoS fans... and very well curated content!
This is great. Just what i was looking for. Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO, dude you`ve made into AOS
Thank you for investing a lot of time and effort in order to make these videos. They really help me relax. It also inspires my creativity.
This is really well explained and it makes me want to get into it even more. I don't know what it is maybe it's your voice but I'll definitely be checking out more
XD That moment you try to do your greatest hits....and DON'T TRY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. Come on Nagash! We don't need to wipe out all life just because you want to have a pissing match with 4 evil gods!
Loved this...
Just purchased the rise of Negash book and I love him already. .....technically we can blame the skaven? :D lol
Great video as a person who just bought his first AoS models. :)
Yay!!! Glad you liked it!
@@2Tough I've watched a lot of your lore videos in the past year since getting into wargaming even though I had no interest in that army. This one was really cool how it put everything together so far in the overarching narrative.
I still like 40k lore a bit more as AoS is still developing but it's cool seeing the new stories and characters emerge and everything develop.
I decided on Deepkin first and my wife is thinking Slaanesh (booo Slaanesh bad elves good) and have been assembling my soul stealing elves while watching your lore series on them. :)
My Soul Wars arrived yesterday. Thx for the lore videos! I plan on speed painting to tabletop quality.
That's awesome! So glad you jumped in!!!
I used to think how can AoS be popular when 40k is so damn cool looking...little did I know the vast and well written history and lore of this Fantasty series! Thank you Doug for this update on lore!
Doc Bravo Both are cool in models and lore.
Loved it! Liked, subscribed and even activated the bell. CZcams needs more content like yours man! Cheers from Brazil!
I am introducing a scout group to warhammer at the moment and your videos make it all very easy for them to understand, big help, many thanks
Oh thats aweosme!!!
You've explained it so well, that you've actually made a bad setting look good. Well done.
great work, very helpful for a newbie like me
Well welcome, and I'm glad you found the hobby!
I have a question about Sigmar's reforging process....what about the mounts? Gryphs Chargers, Stardrakes and dracolines...when they die, the get taken back to Azyr as well? And get reforged? Or the just die and get replaced?
Awesome question! I havent read the stormcast book in a LOOOONG time but if i recall, Stardrakes return to the sky (Sort of reforging) and I have no idea for the Gry-chargers. But I'll look into it!
You spent an entire video on this game and you didn't answer the most important question of all:
WHAT IS THE AGE OF SIGMAR?
I mean, I know he's old. But how old??
It would be great if This was the beginning of Warhammer fantasy! Like a "plot twist" with a kind of time loop :-D
Wait this sorta makes sense. What if AOS Sigmar is like Ulric. Lilith is the tree god (forget her name). Tyrion is Khaine, Teclas is Assurion, the Seraphon are the actual Old Ones, Malekith is maybe some other Eldar god, Nagash is a tomb kings god. While GorkaMorka is still just Gork and Mork
I was never really into WH fantasy and i didnt even know about Age of Sigmar until quite recently. Is there any realation in the lore between the two?
Yes. Age of sigmar is the result of Archaon heralding the end times and bringing the destruction of the entire world of warhammer fantasy.
@@BarokaiRein So it's somewhat of a spin off in the distant future of WH Fantasy.
Thank you for the intro as a fantasy battle player I was curious what was happening
Did Vermintide happen at the end of the age of chaos?
help me out, please. I know pretty much nothing about the lore and this video was very enlightening. But I have a doubt: is this setting the same for the original Warhammer miniature game? All I know of the lore is from playing a little bit of Vermintide and there was already mentions of Sigmar and many other aspects. Was that story in the same timeline as Age of Sigmar?
Francisco Wagner Vermintide is set in the Old World which was the setting for the game Warhammer Fantasy. The Old World was destroyed in an event called the End Times. Age of Sigmar is what happens to the universe after the End Times.
Ok...I stopped playing Warhammer Fantasy right at the end of 7th edition I think. Wtf happened? Teclis a God? Sigmar alive? Is there any bit of the Fantasy still left?
My friend, surly you know of a cataclysm know as the End Times?
NOPE!
Mr. Organa Yes and no. The old world (or better reality) died. But its essence was reborn in this new world, so there are a lot of familiar faces and concepts.
Wait a minute, Sigmar was alive in Fantasy aswell.
You didnt Mention the Blight Wars and Wich Realm is under wich Rule.
I skipped a lot to keep things simple for new folks, and pointed people towards the realmgate videos to cover the fate of the realms. As for Blightwar, it was a great box set, not a grand and overarching narrative like the Realmgate wars and Soul Wars
hello i am just diving into Warhammer all together im excited
LOVED!! thank youuu
As some one returning to the hobby, last time I played my army consisted of blocks and everything was set in the old world. When does age of Sigmar happen in to comparison to the old world then? Or is it set in another timeline kinda like blood bowl?
Welcome! So AOS is set several hundreds years after the events of the Old world. With that gap of time, the writers also expanded the style of fantasy, going form tolkien-ish to more of a heroic fantasy style :)
2+Tough hummm ok, I’ve been watching some of your videos on lore to try and catch myself up. Just finished the end of time video. I’ve got so many questions about characters and lore but you will most likely cover it all in your videos so I will carry on watching them all. 😊
Just started collecting ossiarch bonereapers! Time to listen to some sigmar lore and see what all these skelly Bois are about
Hi Doug, Thanks for all you do absolutely love your content and its greatly helped me appreciate the age of sigmar lore and got me excited to play new factions after hearing their amazing back stories. This video is amazing. Since its been over a year do you plan on doing what are the major events that has happened since this video. Would also love to hear your thoughts and theories on where you think the story might head next given all we have gotten in the last year +. Thanks so much for all you do. I recommend you to anyone that has the slightest interest in AOS lore.
After what happened to the Old World its a bit odd that Sigmar did not prepair for Chaos.
I believe it's inferred he doesn't remember anything. Really only the other gods seemed to remember, though perhaps not alarielle. They absolutely had to spend a lot of time remembering what they were about, so chaos popping up was probably something they didn't think, or forgot, would happen so suddenly after all this time.
I suspect most of the gods don't have clear memories of the Old World either - in Josh Reynold's books it often says how Nagash has, at best, fragmented memories of his past.
are the chaos gods the same as the 40k universe chaos gods? is there any solid link between the two universes? the warp exists in both too right?
THey are exactly the same (I assume for Intellectual Property reasons), but theres no link definitively made between the two settings :/
@@2Tough I see, thanks for clarifying. It's a shame though, some really cool possibilities lore wise if they actually wanted to expand upon this.
@@2Tough There is, however, a direct answer from Grombrindal about how Slaanesh was born in the 40k and got into the Old World and Age of Sigmar afterwards (White Dwarf magazine, June 2018, Ask Grombrindal column).
RIP warhammer fantasy
So I'm not interested in playing the games since I have no friends who are into this type of thing. But I love the books.
Well I tried this just didn't grab me like fantasy and 40k did (not that the stormcast helped with their design) thanks for the reading the lore
Amazing narration.
Aw thank you :)
si there coming a update soon :) ?
great info: new player
Yeah thank you I finally found a video about the general's handbook. like I said before it was hard to find anything on CZcams speaking positive about the game. also hard to get any information from games workshop other than them trying to sell me more product.
Im new to this and this really was great to watch
Hey welcome and thank you!!
ah yes. my new rabbit hole. (still missing the "classic" warhammer fantasy setting though)
This video is absolutely brilliant to newbie like me! Thnx & i subscribed 😜
Awesome! Thank you and welcome!
im glad i found you :)
Oh, so this has nothing to do with warhammer fantasy. What happened to the old world? I didn’t realized sigmar was an actual god. When did this age of sigmar happened in comparison to the old world?
Great video Doug
HA, nagash and skaven never get old, does it?
Not a single mention of the world the was? Seems like an oversight considering all the themes and important characters started there.
They blew it up, and told everyone to shut up and deal with there broken new system and buy more sigmarines
There are loads of things I didnt cover. This is for introducing the very broad strokes to folks who likely never heard of the Old World
Epic! Most beautiful illustrations!
Undead skaven minis? Like why would a necromancer just raise humans? I'd much rather have ork skeletons.
stormcast can still be killed permanently though right? in one of the books doesn't dorgar pluck some stormcast lighting souls (?) out of the sky and eats them?
Tactical Dot: .
Want to know as well
They can in very extreme circumstances (being in the realm of chaos, something stopping the soul from arching back, special weapons etc.) But this wasnt the place to go into the details, so i just directed folks to the Stormcast playlist that dives into it :)
