00:00If you told me 10 years back when I first started playing Total War Warhammer that we'd eventually
00:04reach the End Times period, I wouldn't have believed you.
00:07But here we are.
00:08Three games, 110 legendary lords and factions later, Immortal Empires has successfully sliced
00:14and diced the best bits of Warhammer fantasy, and chucked them in a big cooking pot of delicious
00:18fantasy goodness.
00:20It's funny though, while the End Times are a desirable era for a strategy game about
00:24throwing back endless tides of destruction or bringing chaos to the world, they were
00:28supremely unpopular in Warhammer fantasy.
00:30How do you end a setting with 30 plus years worth of characters and lore?
00:34The answer is not well, but that's the genius part of the Lords of the End Times expansion
00:40fantasy.
00:40You can rewrite the whole thing.
00:41Maybe you don't like what happened to Volkmar or Balthasar Gelt, maybe you want Karl Franz
00:46to win against the Glock in this time, or maybe Grimgore beats Archeon, maybe you just want
00:50to kill Manfred over and over and over and over, I know I do.
00:55This expansion's greatest trick isn't portraying the end of Warhammer fantasy, no, it's letting
01:00you subvert its fate endlessly forever.
01:02It's officially the end of the End Times.
