    Having learned of lorebeards is a godsend, long discussion based content, lore and warhammer in one package with a huge backlog. My workdays will be bearable for so much longer now

    It's super cool listening to him talk about a subject he's particularly passionate about. I was starting to get goosebumps from him describing Tehenhauin's zeal starting to infect the saurus and kroxigors.

      Man I was infected with Tehenhauin’s righteous fury at the skaven. I wanted to hop on Total War just to go mess up some skaven.

    Now I understand why the Loremaster loves the Prophet so much. My new favourite Lizardmen lord and my first 4.0 campaign.

    You know as much as I like what they've done with Seraphon in Age of Sigmar its kind of a bummer that they don't give that much attention to Sotek. Especially because A: Sotek already manifested in physical form in Warhammer Fantasy and B: Age of Sigmar is inherently a setting where gods directly interact with the mortal world, so there should be no real reason Sotek can't physically appear in the Mortal Realms to go and devour billions of Skaven.

    Tww2 is how i got into warhammer, always looked dinky and basic til i saw the skaven and lizardmen. Kroc gar was who got me to love the lizardmen as we took over the world. As was planned.

    On next weeks episode, why does Andy hate Gelt so much?

  • @Ursca
    @Ursca Před 9 měsíci +4

    I just want to note that although many people say that it's undeniable that Sotek physically manifested at the battle of Fuming Serpent Island, reading between the lines introduces some ambiguity. Sotek is said to have emerged from the volcano, slithered down the mountainside (driving the skaven before him) and dove into the sea, hissing as he did so. That could be a description of a living god - or it could be a description of a miraculous lava flow that boiled the seawater as it poured into the sea. There's one source that makes this association slightly more explicit, but I can't find it right now.

    • @Tortle-Man
      @Tortle-Man Před 9 měsíci +1

      Tbh, given how Chaos works, it could really be both. Like Chaos exists out of time, so if enough skinks believe the lava flow was a manifestation of their god, it very well could have BECOME their god in that moment.

    Thanks for the deep dive on this character and the background. Very interesting and I love that he is what helped spark the Lizardman races to have emotions and evolve.

    @espio33 Před 9 měsíci +5

    I have an idea for future episodes, since it's such a common question: People often ask what is X race/character's views on X race. That should have it's own section (2 hours into the video, so not sure if it has one here, but would be a cool section going forward on race/character specific discussions)
    It's always neat to see their views on the world at large

  • @8alih
    @8alih Před 8 měsíci +1

    I really enjoy your new Lorebeards format with Andy. For someone who prefers Tomb Kings / human type of factions, it really gave me an appreciation of factions I haven't considered before like the Lizardman. Would love to see something on the Skaven, maybe a deconstruction of Thanquol, or a focus on one of the major clans.

    Ulha’up, while being meme worthy, could also be an interesting story piece like what if this guy actually made it to the old world? It would give a reason for skink player characters in a game set in the old world. But also how would the old world respond? Even if he wasn’t a very powerful slann, compared to most humans he would be a walking bomb. Would this force the humans into negotiations where Ulha’up may even start talking to Volkmar lol. 1:57:36, 3:22:31

  • @ASpaceOstrich
    @ASpaceOstrich Před 8 měsíci +1

    I love the idea of the lizardmen hating outsiders being in Lustria because every time they wake up the Slaan to ask them about it, the Slaan say "go away", and they interpret that as "send the Elves away". I know thats probably not the case, but that would be very on brand. I can imagine some tablets that they can't understand because they're supposed to be interpreted by an Elf or Halfling or some other species, but they've not allowed any other race to actually see them.

  • @Brutalyte616
    @Brutalyte616 Před 9 měsíci

    If I had to guess, I'd wager that the comet that heralded the birth of Sigmar and Sotek was probably something the Old Ones set up. Somehow they knew that humanity and the Lizardmen needed their own original gods to prepare for the battles to come against Chaos, and so their Hail Mary comet was actually a God-Maker Comet. Did this actually make Sigmar and Sotek into gods? No, but it was timed in such a way that both would become venerated by their respective races and lay the foundations for a God of Humanity and a God of Lizardmen. It's not a coincidence, but it's not like Sigmar and the Gold Plaque of Sotek magically fell out of the sky because they were loaded onto a Old One's spaceship or the comet blasted Sigmar with god rays while simultaneously mutating a single member of sub-species of Skink into becoming the prophet of heretofore nonexistant god.

    so im getting some 40k vibes and hear me out
    Skinks are humanity, they dont know whats going on or why but they do it and religiously
    Kroxigors are ogryn, big, kinda dumb, but actually just 'super specialized'
    Saurus are space marines
    slann are kinda.. the emperor but as multiple creatures
    am i wrong?
