Thankfully it seems Last World has finally been fully debunked. Despite the universe guide, and several new novels, the sharp decrease in novels and the validity of previous rumors seemed to cause concern for many of us.

But the latest batch, which while given by a different source but backed and corrected by the originals, is just written like bad fanfiction and actively goes against what has been established prior. A few of the many things that just make the rumor contradict itself and established lore as follows:

>Vhordrai betrays Nagash again. Despite refusing to do so several times prior due to the potential consequences. And Neferata and Mannfred are chill again.

Nagash is back but also not back.

>Erasmus and every CoS character dies besides Tahlia, the guy who just got a mini and lore dies? Same with the 4e skaven characters? While I respect AOS killing characters with minis, this many at once sounds unlikely.

>Also Gorkamorka is somehow back all of a sudden and takes Excelsis. Despite the notably anti-gorkamorka ogors of Redd and Morga currently being the ones to attack Excelsis.

>Varanspire is destroyed, despite all previous rumors saying it'd be the capital of the Northern chaos wastes.

>Also Malerion is corrupted by Slaanesh?! Not Morathi?! The guy who's had no contact with Slaanesh, never worshipped him, and resisted a genetic call by KHAINE somehow gets corrupted over the character that is guilty of all 3.

>And all this is supposed to happen in 3 books.

It's safe to say this has been one massive troll by the leakers to remind us that rumors are rumors. Something massive and wrong to get us to stop taking every rumor of theirs as fact. Or if TLW really does happen, it's gonna be very different from what the leakers suggest. Since Nick North and the other lore writers actually have shown to respect the lore they've made and what came before. Something that can't be said about 40k's (looks at Wraithbone retcon)

With Redd’s reforms of the Ogor religion taking the mawtribes by storm, there was one thing I was curious about.

What happened with the Underguts? Overtyrant Grumlog and his tribe are the antithesis of Redd’s teachings just as much as Globb Glittermaw. Their entire culture revolves around black powder and “spoiling the meat” as the Mawseekers put it.

You’d expect there’d be mention of them somewhere in the battletome to explain the shift but there really wasn’t. Correct me if I’m wrong, but we only got their color scheme towards the end.

While listening to the Loremasters bit on the Ogors, I couldn't help but notice some similarities to 40k.

Just like Lorgar, Redd went on a pilgrimage to a mysterious underworld, supposedly met his god, and immediately became a religious reformer. Denouncing the central leader of the ogors. Globb, like the emperor, was an immensely wealthy and large individual who brutally brought about a golden age for the Ogors.

Suddenly Globb's daughter Morga turned against him. The two having a titanic duel that ended with Morga slaying her father and taking the throne. Like Horus wanted to do.
All her sibling rivals were also cooked up by Redd, who may have been pulling the strings the whole time. Like Erebus.

And then Redd spread sweeping reforms throughout the Mawtribes. Gutseers and butchers (dark apostles) became much more prominent and even took leader roles by usurping the traditional tyrants. Morga for her part has been proclaimed the champion of the maw (warmaster) and is kinda just going along with Redd's fanaticism for the power. While leading a much more brutal crusade of consumption with the end goal of devouring the realms (what would supposedly happen if Horus won)

For those of us with an Armageddon box or ability to submit, orks winning would be a great way to cull the weak from/troll the corpse worshippers grand imperium.

Besides, we’ve both got green
