    Seems more likely that he's just in a deep despair after some of his cannonical encounters where he believes everything he held dear was a lie. If that's so he's in the kind of low point that Black light engenders.

    Also it's likely that the incoming riders are vampires, yes. Mousillon's not short of those.

    Heh, I wonder what happened to get Paul to collect Beastwomen and put them to work peacefully with normal people.

    The more I see of these rare scenes the more I wish Zoat would focus more on WHF and WH40K. I want to see how far Paul rises among the Tau!

    Oh, what a time to cut away... Still, at least we're seeing more of Warhammer!Paul.

    Maybe something to do with the nature of female herd animals like cows and nanny goats? I mean, they'd fuck you up if you tried to threaten their young, no doubt...

    Or some other divinely-granted mutation. That honestly covers quite a few sins in miniature scales that GW has produced over the years.

    The joy of not having a local soul. Unless she casts something with a flashy visual effect, like a fireball, lightning bolt or Comet of Casandora, you won't even know it.

    Nothing pleasant, then. Necromancy, given they're still hanging around the Duchy of the Dead?

    Entirely too likely given Mousillion. Some unfortunate peasant striking it lucky out of a Vampire attack, perhaps?

    Well, at least it isn't Athel Loren, that's about five hundred miles southeast.

    Take care, then. No telling what it is, if your pet sorceress can't identify it.

    Yeeaaahhh... The best you could hope for is being assumed to be some minor Chaos champion...

    Dark Elves and their skimpy clothing... Clearly, one of the first spells she learnt was a warming charm. :p

    What, not happy that you're not basically walking around half-naked anymore? Honestly.

    Again, Dark Elves, man. It's a rare Naggarothi lady who isn't attracted to money, power and status... And most of them end up blood-crazed worshippers of Khaine, god of Murder (among other war-related fields.)

    Be rather annoying if all your hard work got stomped by some obnoxious knight out questing...

    Seriously, this place is the literal armpit of Bretonnia. Look up a map.

    Uh-oh. That doesn't sound good.

    Seriously, what are the chances?

    Too dumb to stay dead? He didn't make a very good impression on them, did he?

    Nah, that'd be too easy.. the Old World just runs on Sod's Law.

    Crisis of faith, perhaps?

    ...Or not. That can not be good.

    Crap, did bringing an Orange Ring here drag other lights along with it? Because this looks a lot like...

    Trying to get his dander up? Not sure that's going to work, if this is anything close to what I think it is...

    Seriously, he sounds like he's soaked in Black Light. Or Anti-Life.

    Evidently, even he feels something's wrong... If he's asking them to kill him...

    Vampires. Maybe this'll get good Sir Mallobaude up and at them.

    As much as I like more of this... Leaving off on a 'death-rays from the sky' cliffhanger? Seriously, talk about blue-balled on the Renegade's situation... We better find out what's going on there soon. Because it sounds like all hell is breaking loose.

    ...a narrow creek which-

    Given how badly Zoat is twisting both mediums to keep his SI alive it's probably best if the Warhammer snips are kept in moderation.

    Considering the setting, him lacking a soul may be a blessing.

    Given their nature as sadists and masochists she may enjoy the biting cold.

    She may prefer walking around half naked.

    No he's just depressed, and he did have a lot of red when he talked to the SI, but that's not too surprising.

    There have been colored texts indicating emotions even if the universe isn't connected to DC comics.

    Again just regular, albeit severe, depression after he discovered that his life was kinda a lie.

    What, did Paul tell him that Brettonia as a culture exists because some wood elves prefer to have mayflies fight for them instead of fighting themselves, and Sir Whatshisname went to the forest to see if it's true?

    It is very weird that the Sheeda are Earth bound.

    One of the treasures they stole from Aurakles was a Fatherbox. You know, the device they open all those boom tubes with....

    Misty Kilgore, Zatanna's apprentice, Snow White, daughter of a human and Melmoth of the Sheeda, has half of it as her Magic Die.

    [​IMG]

    Apparently New Gods like redundancies in their technology, since you can cut a fatherbox in half and get a working machine.

    The above is her when she's not blue, she's got enough shapeshifting to switch back and forth.

    While I quite like the character, it seems doubtful that she'd be looking to become Zatanna's apprentice in YJ, what with Z still being a teenager herself.

    If she does show up then she may become Giovannis apprentice, with Zatanna as an older student helping her out.

    In Warhammer terms Paul doesn't actually lack a soul since he has emotions.

    Legion of Super-Heroes? But didn't Abra Kadabra reveal that there was a Orangist Night event in his past that is also further into the future than the Legion?

    Yeah, but I don't think that's going to happen here.

    If I remember correctly the Reach apparently stole the Light Fountain from Larfleeze and he went on a warpath to get it back.

    Here Larfleeze has been incapacitated.

    If I remember correctly, it was so that male beastmen would only ever be able to reproduce through rape, even with their own kind.
    She's pretty junior. There are plenty of things she can't identify.
    No, when she's in Naggaroth she dresses warmly, but they're far closes to the equator here.
    Thank you, corrected,
    No, they didn't steal it. They just woke him up.

    It seems kinda odd that he would go on a rampage across the galaxy just by being woken up.

    That's most likely not the first time he's been woken up by someone, seeing as he has all those assimilated people with him, and he just attacked the ones that woke him up those times.

    What caused him to do his own rendition of Blackest Night instead of just killing the ones that woke him up?

    He was half-asleep, they said 'Guardian'. They were also taking samples of some of the things in his cave.

    And it turns out that Larfleeze really likes taking stuff.

    Seems the Ring doesn’t put Vampires under the heading of ‘people’.

    Also the ‘beastwomen’ this is going to go horrifically wrong. They might be less individually aggressive but they remain irrevocably corrupted by chaos. Fantasy is not 40K, where there are a great many reasons for mutation and abhumanism. In Fantasy mutations are caused by chaos corruption and nothing else. Unless his ring can do soul surgery he isn’t fixing them enough to be safe.

    It does, but if they use Vanhal's Danse Macabre they can cover quite long distances quickly.
    No, canonically, beastwomen are perfectly safish. Warhammer-safe. Their male children aren't, but they are. And as stated above the SI can drain dark magic, and he can hire magicians of the Amber College to try and find alternatives.

    The individuals are a non-threat. The unending hordes of Beastmen they will attract very much are threats. Worst still is the direct attention and enmity of the Chaos gods that trying to steal their followers will prompt.

    Also why would he go to the College? The Empire’s “magic tradition” is just a dangerously abbreviated copy of the Saphery tradition, focused heavily on battlefield effectiveness. If he wants magical expertise Altdorf is not the place to get it.

    Why would a small group of beastwomen who were in the area anyway attract 'unending hordes of beastmen', when beastmen are focused on tearing down civilisation? It's not like beastmen need beastwomen in order to reproduce.
    Most High Elves wouldn't want to work a) for a human b) on trying to help beastwomen.
    High Elves don't really focus on individual winds in the way humans do.
    High Elves don't want humans coming to their country.
    Wood Elves are a bit of a dodgy prospect.
    Slaan wouldn't help within a useful time frame.

    It wouldn't be a common ability. Dark magic is defined by its users not separating the different winds. As a result, Dark Elves with the required specialist knowledge are probably pretty rare.

    Damn. I was praying for the next episode to be a Grayven one. His fights against the threats are, unfortunately, more entertaining. His banter too.

    I don't know anything about Warhammer, but these little segments are really interesting.

    Hahaha...sorry, Every time I hear about that spell it reminds me of a local WHFB player. Just about any battle with him ended up with Danse Macabre cast at least once, and he'd do this little sing song bit as his skeleton horde became a conga line of death and tar-pitting.

    Blanks don't lack a connection to the warp, they were just engineered to have an inverse connection to it.

    Think of it like push and pull.

    Regular psykers basically pull bits of the immaterium into the materium, while Blanks basically push the materium into the immaterium.
