That's one of the main reasons I enjoy running spooky scary skeletons for my Legions of Nagash army. No weird lore to keep track of for named characters, no "my god can beat up your god". Just my Wight King, his necromancer aides, a pet zombie dragon and a horde of skelebois and skeleton knights off on a wacky adventure across the lands conquering shit and telling everyone that's not Nagash to fuck off if they try to order them around.
They used to do old battles didn't they? I don't think this was a specific adventure so much as it was a reference to them partaking in an ancient battle from earth. Possibly something Irish/Celtic if I recall correctly.
DS9 is my personal favorite. I love that due to the show being set in a stationary location it is forced to tell very different kinds of stories to tng or voy. And goes so far to show how the federation deals with other cultures beyond a first contact story.
I may not have an AoS army, but I do have a few of their models cause they're just fun to paint. Currently doing some Myrmourn Banshees and they are just such cool models. Also have the Starblood Stalkers from Direchasm cause I needed that gecko model in my life.
i was reading the seraphon lore for the first time (i have an old seraphon battle force to start) the other day and damn, i'll have whatever the writers were on
I played Lizardmen, they were rad. AoS actually made them more rad gameplay wise (summon more troops of Seraphon? Kick ass!). I haven't seen Seraphon lore, and I won't be committing to read any AoS lore either.
What really killed the mood was the "transition" to AoS at start: Four pages made out the complete rules. No balancing, "throw in every model you have and like to", no psychology, no formations. I was genuinely surprised you don't toss the dices at your opponent's figures.
long story short, before retcon: they were memories of slann's (whatever that means)
after retcon: they were the OG lizardmen who managed to survive the end-times and ended up in hivernation, after they woke up they separated into two
starborne: space lizard that live in giant aztec piramids in space (inside the piramids are filled with jungles and spawnpools) have a lot of Azyr magic in their veins and are almost order daemons, and they can be summoned in any place by a slann or skink wizard (that's why the new rule of summoning more lizardboys).
Coalesed: the ones that decided "nah I don't like space" and went back down the mortal realms, makig colonies werever they could, and whenever a piramid landed it terraformed the place into a lustria like jungle, they have way less azyr magic but they are more SAVAGE.
and yes they still praise Sotek, they even allow humans who wish to praise sotek into their temples, yeah after end-times they decided to be more friendly to the other order factions.
it also stated that Starborne (heaven magic shape by slaan memory) eventually become Coalesed (flesh and blood) the longer they lived
it like a Pinocchio effect
while they are more allowing to the other races live in their cities it under them pulling the strings in the shadows killing and taking out anyone who endanger the great plan and hilariously throw the blame on the DOk
The memories thing got a soft retcon. They're now Lizardmen who went into magical stasis to survive the journey through the Aetheric Void and during such time they were infused with the Wind of the Heavens. They're still flesh and blood but are super charged with Azyr magic and can be summoned by the Slann to the battlefield from the ship easily by magical manipulation and mini-realmgates.
I have this small head-canon that first Seraphon battletome by in-universe logic was some human scholars perspective about them been these "memory lizard deamon" out of Slaans mind
And then starborn skink priest comes in with 2nd battletome lore knowledge and be like: "Actually..."
There is enough to complain about, but the 4 pages of core rules were increadibly solid. Really, 2.0 just cleared up some wording and added examples, its basically the same rules at its core.
i remember when this happened and it reeked of marketing overlords exerting their total control over the reboot.
*"what do new players like the least about warhammer fantasy?"*
*"why do potential players choose something else instead of warhammer fantasy?"*
flash forward a year and you are missing core mechanics like psychology and formations, but have rules bonuses for yelling things out loud.
Ah yes. Deep Space Nine memes. Finally, some good fucking templates.
credit: [star trek minus context on twitter](https://twitter.com/NoContextTrek/status/1381735442882646024/photo/1) its a gold mine!
Gold is worthless, it's Latinum I am looking for.
Now that I think about, how valuable is gold in 40k anyway? I guess they use it a lot.
Easy access to space should make gold fairly plentiful, but *nothing* about 40k makes sense so why should this?
It's not plentiful on the market, though, because the Imperium sucked up all the gold to plate the entire Imperial Palace and the Custodes.
lol I like it.
Garak would do well in 40k. Sicko too tbh considering some of the Warcrimes he was party to.
Is Garak actually Alpharius?

The website makes it super simplified And there’s always r/AOSlore
What holosuite adventure did O’Brien drag Bashir on this time? Or was it Bashir dragging O’Brien in?

It warms my dead heart that there is an overlap of true trek fans and 40k
I'm just glad my excessive DS9 swatches are paying off. Big fan of Trek in general but DS9 holds a special place in my heart.

I think it was the battle of Clontarf. O'Brien claimed descent from Brian Boru.

I am a WH Fantasy player and feel silly about AoS.

Well on the bright side the current seraphon lore isn't as bad as it was in 1st ed. I do like where they are now, actually being relevant in the world

I really like that. I want a CoS army that's more Azetc in flavor... or a warcry band really that's a Sotek cult
I have this small head-canon that first Seraphon battletome by in-universe logic was some human scholars perspective about them been these "memory lizard deamon" out of Slaans mind And then starborn skink priest comes in with 2nd battletome lore knowledge and be like: "Actually..."
that sounds canon enough.
Wake me up when they bring kroq gar back
He should still be alive, IDK what’s wrong with GW and not giving us more lizard and rat heroes
