 Greetings my esteemed subscribers and greetings to everyone at games workshop now before I begin to elaborate this video will be quite specific to those of you who Are familiar with Warhammer if you're not I would encourage you to check out some of my Total war warhammer videos. I have quite a few of those on my channel So just search on the channel because I give a an introduction to the lore Some what good I would say at least in those videos So check that out first then if it sounds interesting you can come back to this video So you understand a bit better what I am talking about So I've been a warhammer fan for a very long time Actually longer than I haven't been a warhammer fan. So yeah long time use to play a lot of 7th and 8th edition as well and Yeah, use a paint a bit very very nice hobby very meditative. So yeah, as you can see before you some Some of my work I sold most of it, but I kept some some fine artifacts of mine So anyway in 2015 games workshop who are the creators of Warhammer and Warhammer 4k and Horace heresy. I've talked a lot about Horace heresy before But now we're talking about Warhammer fancy so they decided to Destroy the old world and the old world is what you see in Warhammer total war for examples everything I've talked about is from the old world So in 2015 they decided to destroy it to create a new setting now What happened was that total war came out in the old setting and Everyone absolutely loved it a lot of new warhammer fans came into yeah coming to Know about Warhammer then vermin tide came out then chaos been came out to computer games also very popular So now games workshop has decided to bring back the old world, which I am Absolutely delighted to hear so first and foremost to everyone at games workshop. Thank you Absolutely correct decision and I would just like to mention something to everyone at games workshop here I've read a lot of black library books a lot of books set in the old world and Yeah, I'm a fan as I said great books, especially Sigmar series the elven books as well and I would say that if you want to get as many people into Reading the books or the hobby as possible the old world is a much more compelling and Attractive setting than age of Sigmar because if I want to introduce someone to to Warhammer say My father or my wife or a friend and they don't know anything at all in the old world I can simply point to the Empire say, you know, these guys are 16th century Germans and they are set in a Very precarious situation. They have chaos encroaching from one side They have skaven attacking them from the under cities. They have orcs invasions Etc. Same thing if we're talking about Bretonia. Yeah, it's Medieval France with a touch of Arthurian legend. It's really easy to relate to it's really easy to find Appealing now if you compare that with age of Sigmar I have a really hard time thinking that anyone finds this Compelling because it's not relatable and it's not realistic now. We talk about fantasy and I say realistic What do I mean? Yes, I do mean realistic in the sense that it is realistic in a Grim dark way So you might say oh, is it realistic to have giant rats trying to kill you? No, it's not but the point is that we're setting humans in a setting where everything is Very hard basically, but it's still humans We're not trying to change the nature of humans and you can't really relate to a storm cast eternal You can't really relate to the structure of them I understand the urge of trying to appeal to as many people as possible because then you have Everyone see oh, I'm represented here But you also miss a very important aspect of what makes the games and they're setting so intriguing So I would encourage you to not go down that road Because people aren't stupid either your customers aren't stupid Potential customers aren't stupid. They will see if you promote this sort of Everyone fits in that sort of narrative that sort of setting you will only turn off people because it's not intriguing in the list you will attract people with a cool epic grim dark setting as The old world has shown so Yeah, that's my take on that situation and I will give some high praise to everyone at games workshop here everyone at black library. I view you as the heirs of Tolkien I view you as Your world the Warhammer world as the natural air of Tolkien's work for me It was the same thing I got into Lord of the Rings when I was younger and then I thought oh these elves are cool etc I wanted more epic stories basically, so then I went to Warhammer fantasy So people want classic elves people want classic dwarves. They want the Empire. They want Bretonia They want tomb kings tomb kings are well undead ancient Egyptians basically Very relatable very cool everyone. I'm certain when reading up on ancient Egypt felt a certain Intriguing sensation and the fact that you can play almost them the same thing as you can be almost the Aztecs in Yeah, in being listen men. It's a very attractive thing So anyway point of this rambling is that do keep do promote the old world go back to the old world People want it much more than they want the Egypt Sigma setting that being said I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the Egypt Sigma setting. I'm just saying from a long-time fan and admirer of the lore and the setting this is my perspective and Yeah, for my own personal Ulterior motive here as well. It's because I want more books in the old world I want more games in the old world so vermin tide for example I want there to be a third vermin tide where you can play in third-person view as well Now speaking of vermin tide. I would like to give a shout out to one of my oldest and truest of friends Natty Pete I mentioned this in this video because a I mentioned painting and be I mentioned vermin tide and he is my Companion when I play vermin tide so it's um, so yeah, we play vermin tide together and he painted this for me As a belated birthday gift, so it's a painting of me and my daughter Based on this photography So I just wanted to have that said in this video since I mentioned vermin tide and yeah, I will link him this video So thank you again Natty Pete Anyway back to Warhammer setting please do continue the old world now that being said I would just like to mention the gaming aspect It would be absolutely great if you Do not have square bases, but if you create movement trace where you can place models with round bases so you can use models both in H of Sigmar and in in the old world style of Table top gaming so you have the skirmish type of game and you also have the Classic strategy game So that was my thoughts I just wanted to share this Epic news with everyone and yeah for anyone at games workshop. I hope you Take my advice on board and yeah, thank you for watching xoxo
