>>98199058 The brown gradient on his wings is very pleasant
>>98199537 Nu-GW writers are ignorant, edgy atheist faggots whose only background is Warhammer and plebbit/normalfag social media consumption. Zero history, zero mythology, zero theology, zero folklore, zero classic fantasy/scifi; all they know is warhams, faggot/nigger worship, and middle school level crude atheist dogma. That's why everything they write is fuckin' lame and boring Chaos wank, they're utterly incapable of writing good-aligned characters in an interesting or authentic way without undercutting them with some cynical bullshit.
>>98199537 It was more Valten never landed with the audience of the time. He was supposed to be Sigmar reborn and GW wanted to have him shake up the setting, but all he did in fan's eyes, was step on the toes of Karl, who was already the Protagonist-kun of the Empire.

>>98199576 I mean he was a completely different character back then wasn't he? I remember in the first and I think second edition of wfrp he was an insane, despotic tyrant that'd execute people en masse, but then they retconned him to be a good and noble ruler.
>>98199576 During 6e, I remember people latching on to Karl as the protagonist mostly in response to Valten being seen as some upstart mary sue. And Karl already had a showing in a story from the 6e rulebook where the spirit of Sigmar entered his body as he fought some rando orc warlord and that's why HE should be Sigmar reborn and not this new guy showing up with a big birthmark. Clearly that got to GW because after they killed off Valten, they had Karl die but then be reborn as Karl Ascended for End Times. >>98199587 No, that's just a meme that keeps getting repeated on /tg/. Karl, from the very beginning is constantly referred to as the best emperor since Magnus the Pious and a master of statecraft who has unified the Empire like none since either.

>>98199583 >DESTROY EVERYTHING >KILL EVERYONE >RAPE MURDER DECAY Sounds more Africa-coded to me, except maybe the Tzeentch part. The Empire is much closer to Naziism, especially under Magnus/Karl Franz.

>>98199586 Chaos is, fundamentally, the desire to ascend, to become the "new man", the ubermensch, unbound and unburdened by the limitations of men before him, expressing the highest possible point of man as a thinking, philosophical animal. It is the pursuit of dominion and knowledge over creation, combined with the truest form of Nietzschean self-made purpose. It's the ultimate ideal of the new Aryan man, and the ultimate goal of National Socialism as an ideology.

NTA, but no, he is absolutely portrayed as an insane old man in The Enemy Within for WFRP 1e. It got retconned very quickly, but technically, his first appearance was of an absolutely awful ruler.

>>98199598 >to become the "new man" Lol no, the ideal is to become an immortal daemon prince through enslavement to an evil god. If anything, it's like a corrupted evil version of Catholic sainthood.

>>98199604 Daemon Princedom represents ascension, spiritual, mental and material. The "God" is less an actual god and more a path towards enlightenment, whether it be through power and strength, knowledge and manipulation, persistence and resilience or even overwhelming want and desire. It is a narrow path, and most do not have what it takes, but the path of the Ruinous Powers is not for the weak or foolish. Even the name, Ruinous, the ruination of what was, the creation of something new, and greater. It is the European Faustian spirit in the truest, rawest, form.

The libturds tried to make the Skaven unappealing by making them resemble rats but if someone looks past shallow surface level observations they will see that the Skaven are actually incredibly based. Each one is a nietzschean uberrodent who puts himself above all others and is fully willing to smash aside any obstacles to his power. Each ones psyche lacks any of the weaknesses that cause leftism, making their society immune to its taint. They are free of feelings of inferiority which are the root of leftist thought, they possess an instinctive revulsion to everything about non-skaven meaning that leftist self-flagellation or idealization of others is impossible in a Skaven, no Skaven would ever take the clot shot (and in fact, abominations like vaccines would never develop in their society) and a big reason why they are so successful is that they put their women to better use than any other species in the setting and their psychology means that a Skaven simp that would protest about this is impossible. Even despite being meant to parody us, the libturds still couldn't help but aknowledge our self-evident superiority over them by making the Skaven have technology far in advance of everyone else, a foothold everywhere in the world, such fast population growth that they'll never be under existential threat and being guaranteed to take the world for themselves. To help one look past shallow surface level observations, note that the Warhammer 40k counterpart to the Skaven are the similarly based Imperium of Man.
>>98199189 I like the peasant hero thing, but I don't like his "grown" models where he gets everything handed to him. I guess it's cool that he can become a divisive character in the empire, with some believing he's sigmar reborn but it never being confirmed or denied outright.
>>98199601 No it doesn't. The RP book introduces him as a generally well-liked but untested new Emperor. During the Enemy Within campaign across the five books, Karl does get sick from Chaos and makes some bone-headed decrees like banning the execution of mutants simply for being mutants. But the canonicity of the whole thing was never meant to be very hard since, based on how the players progress things, Karl can either be sick and recovering with his son dead, or die and having cast his vote for his son to succeed him leading to the Empire to have a succession crisis as Chaos is invading and infiltrating. But nothing about Karl in any of the material makes him inherently evil or incompetent. Just the chaos sickness delirium.

After getting "the highest throne" for Pike and Shotte I wonder, is a $30 AJ actually passable? Wouldn't a $40 supplement full of army lists and scenarios be better? The HElf AJ was 48 pages vs this one that was 136.
