What piece of lore changed your opinion on something (for the better)?
One of the fun things about Warhammer lore is that due to its massive scope, no one can know everything, and so there's always new discoveries to make. And sometimes such discoveries can change our opinions on things we used to dislike. Which I always find fun and fascinating!
Some of my examples:
- The Dawnbringers short web story "Last Flight of the Grimmbar" made me reconsider KO's potential for heroism (for the choice to stand and fight feels much more impactful with those who could simply leave). Stuff like this is why free stories are so important IMO.
- "Da Stink of Defeat" made me realize Kruleboyz can be much more complex (while still very evil) than I originally gave them credit for, even considering the contrast with some other Kruleboyz antics. Thus continuing AoS' trend of making me actually care about orcs.
- Finally, for absolute ages I've considered Khorne to be the most boring and uninteresting Chaos God across all Warhammer. But the short intro to the 4e battletome flipped my view nearly completely. I still have to let it simmer for a bit, but just with this simple change of perspective I may actually really enjoy Khorne now.
Do you have any examples of little lore bits that made you go "Damn, this is actually super cool" ? I'm always looking to expand my horizons!
