Another option is that giants are essentially immortal untill killed. So all of them are the refugees from the Oger migration. The sky titans shrinking in both size and intelligence without the access to the ungodly amounts of food they once had becoming the giants of the modern day. Similar to how the Korks degenerated into the Orks in 40k when they couldn't find challenging enough fights. This would also example why they haven't rebuilt their civilization somewhere else.

Chaos Dwarves do just that. They'll attach metal bars on the backs of enslaved Giants and have them walk up and sometimes just lay on the enemy walls so the dwarves can walk right over them.

The giant in one iteration also came with the best terrain "piece" GW ever made: The flattened goblin.

What I love about Warhammer is there can be a super advanced race brought low by inbreeding, genocide by hungry anglo-looking dudes, and chaos corruption and they still are able to raze a settlement single handedly

Fact: modern-day giants in warhammer are the end result of inbreeding after the ogres swept through their fortresses and ate them and their live stock to the brink of extinction. Hence how they are so incredibly stupid. 😬

Hmm, on the topic of their reproduction; if a Sky Titian becomes a literal mountain at a certain size (or perhaps due to old age) maybe the corrupting influence of the Ogres deity caused one or two to begin mutating after their transformation? Boulders and detritus that fall from its flanks become the giants we know today, shadowy, pathetic splinters of a once far greater being. Heck, it may not even be a mutation, but a survival strategy developed by the giants. It's a somewhat stupid concept as soon as you think about it for more than five seconds, but would neatly explain the lack of divergence in Giant forms, their low intelligence, and the gestalt memory they seem to share.

Very fun lore tbh. I love the part where the Gargants will not talk to anyone who cannot look them in the eye

They were not fun units, not only did you fork out a huge chunk of cash for the giant model and spend a bit of time pinning everything so it didn't fall apart. Then you had to spend quite a whack of army points on them, but about 2/3rds of the time they ran off doing randumb things you didn't want them to do and about 1/3rd of the time they're roughly going in some kind of direction towards enemy. I think at one point they may have been rules for just how shitfaced drunk at the time of battle they are as well, in which case I think it was even worse chances of them working. About the best you could usually hope for was them being enough of a 'distraction carnifex' that the opponent might waste their time hitting it instead of something more useful on your roster.

@93Avenger93

2 жыл бұрын

even as a distraction carnifex they kind-off failed as. Since the giant was so unreliable and could not get anywhere effectively, it was a choice between pointing the cannon at it ... or pointing it at the other big scary model you brought. yeah giants did not do much in TT unless you somehow house-ruled a "no cannons" stipulation in place. Even then ... there are plenty of units that can chop them down to size on the charge rather effectively

Never been very interested in Warhammer fantasy but the lore telling makes me tale interest. Thank you for finding me another hobby. LOL Comments for the Almighty Algorithm

Love the original lore of the sky Titans and how they where brought low. However GW just uses them as big fodder troops for story reasons and on TT they where terrible and never worth fighting.

Its all ogre now.

I miss the old Giant Falling templates that Warhammer use to have. It use to be when a Giant died you would roll the scatter die and put a special Giant Falling template down in base contact with the giant and facing the way the scatter die pointed. Anything under it? Dead. Saves? Hahahahaha... No. Crushed under massive dead giant cheeks.

I once had a giant who picked up skulltaker and put him in his bag. Slaying him for the purposes of victory points. The orcs and bloodletters who where fighting around them having annihilated eachother.

Hello Arch. I have a question regarding the lore. Did you cover the Ghoul Stars? I ask because there are regions of 40k and certain species that caught my eye. Specifically the Cythor Fiends, the Hrud, the Rak'gol, Slaugh, and other species. Then there is the most enigmatic, (Koronus Expanse notwithstanding, since that place is so eldritch even by Chaos standards) The Nightmare Engines of the Pale Wasting. What are your thoughts?

The bigger boys,

These vids make me wish there was something set during the heyday of these cretures. Or an alternative setting to not mess with cannon.

MORE WARHAMMER LORE PLEASE. Also the beasts of the Old World series is great love ya Arch❤❤❤

The one thing from this video got fascinating here about the giant back story they used to be this great powerful Empire it you call it kind of a they're a live in fucking mountain the sky titans Before the large fat ass came to ate them all but I like this series about beasts of the old world You Keep up the good Work arch
