![]() ![]() Religious fanatics tend to do stuff that is not entirely sensible. the bones punching giant monsters.ītw a joke in the English language does not usually mean worthless or not important. That reliquaries like the ones in the Catholic Church are used to actually fight in battle, ie. That people parade around bones and bits of other people they revere? They Catholic church does this since it´s inception! It´s literally just a support unit, so what is your gripe with that? Yeah, carrying Icons of devotion into battle is not something outragous, even if it´s just the corpse. TBH I don't belive there will be frogs&snails in Bret army.Those two units are more RPG monsters. Why else would they be but a footnote in the lore, only good to be consumed by bretonian peasants? They are, what purpose would they fullfill that cannot be fullfilled by more mundane animals? Fair enough.īut don’t deny the origins and undercurrent of silliness, orcs are literally soccer hooligans.īretonia will no doubt be fairly serious in the new update, but boy have they been silly in the past, Monty python acts included.įans: Nooo. The good vibes weren’t over though, as Wolfe pulled Ridings up in front of the pack at the alma mater to. It became more serious as the other poster says, which is what you have probably experienced and liked. The celebration was electric, as a crowd that had been enthusiastic all game let loose. Instead of beeing laid to rest it´s used like another tool and that´s probably the least what most people would like to see happen to their dead body.īut to indulge in serious discussion, it is based on this silliness mixed with fantasy parodies. Yeah, this grail relique looks quite strange, (and baring the fact that this is something that happened in history at least with El Cid)īut in the end it is the dead body of a literal living saint beeing paraded around to rub some of it´s blessings upon people with questionable sanity. ![]() It´s lighthearted with a serious undertone. "A joke" means that something is worthless, disregardeable, NOT IMPORTANT. French hunting giant snails now that's something. French hunting quirky 'original' weird monsters is also boring Leave boring seriousness to settings like AOS and even to 40k which is going in that direction. Fantasy is good because it balances seriousness with it's sillyness. You don't understand the setting if you can't see that when broken to it's core it is all just one silly joke. Fantasy and Bloodbowl are both made good because of their silliness. The military order Havoc was a signal given to the English military forces in the. Then you have settings like AOS which try to be unique, original and serious but end up being illogical and feeling like just another generic contemporary fantasy world. Whats the meaning of the phrase Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. Fantasy is unique in that it's grounded and strangely functional at times but also a hodge podge of sillyness and satire. They would not let them catch a wink of sleep In the troughs and the ovens they ran, Attacked flesh and the clothing of man. The Egyptians deemed them a very strange breed The frogs coming on them were legion, Spreading over each place and each region. Warhammer Fantasy is one great big joke (40k is in a similar boat). Frogs The plague of frogs was hard indeed. It's the entire point of fantasy, it is the reason it is unique. To it's core WHF is just one big satirical joke filled with tropes and silly stereotypes (Fanatic French knights hunting and eating massive snails is beautiful) and that's what makes Fantasy interesting and a unique setting compared to it's more boring current cousins.Īlso, why do you try to avoid criticism by belittleing the setting (and ,by proxy, all who like it and hold it dear) ? Wouldn't mind seeing things like Giant Snails, they're silly and they perfectly fit the setting of WHF. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.846 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.Tags 1/600 tanks 15mm Ancients 28mm 40k 1944 Age of Sigmar armoured personnel carrier Artizan designs Battle Cry blood axe kommandos board games Bolt Action campaign Campaigning Canada at war Catachan Jungle Fighters Chimera Command & Colours Crossfire Crossfire WWII Deadzone Diorama Epic 40k Fantasy fantasy miniatures Foundry miniatures French & Indian War Games Workshop Gaunt's ghosts God of Battles Greek Mythology Hasslefree inq28 Inquisitor Lost Patrol Boardgame Military History Miniature display miniatures Napoleonic war Necromancer Necrotic Tome Nexus PSI Normandy '44 Nurgle Ogryn Oldhammer Orcs orks painting and modelling Perry miniatures Plague Poxwalkers Scenario Sci-Fi Skirmish Solo Wargaming Space Crusade space hulk space marines Terrain Tinpot Revolution TinPot Tea-party Tribes of Legend U.
