Bastards

Yes? 

[Gusington]

What'd you all do with Freyland? I'm starting to get 'excited' to get this game now thanks to him. Unless I buy Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 first, of course.

[Freyland]

Nah, you don't want two games of the same type!  I hope to resume writing about 0100 EST. Life always seems complicated in Freylandia.

[Gusington]

OK. Remaining steadfast. My next purchase will be Warhammer: TW. With a proper sale, of course. And some, but not all, of the DLC. This is some of the more pricey DLC I have seen too, BTW.

It's more like 2 am than 1 am, but when you are just as likely to be killed by an orc as not in a 1 hour-span, who's counting?

We left off with the Elves (unknowingly helped by the Slaan) creating a giant blighted vortex of Chaos Suckage which ended the immediate daemonic threat.  Lives somewhat returned to normal, with the North considered by all to be "A Very Bad Place".  Dwarves and Elves, who *did not* fight hand in hand against Evil, like in every other mythos, encountered each other and cautiously began trade.  When I say "cautious", again consider -- Aloof Magic Hippies and Grumpy short Greedy miners (I love the dwarves the most, but they are not necessarily "nice", just not evil). 
Somewhere along this period, the Magic Hippie Elves had a falling out within themselves.  Basically, the now-dead king had had children from two different wives (the former also demon food), and Malekith, from the second spawning, really really really thought he deserved the throne.  This was complicated by an overbearing Mommy complex as well, but don't tell her I said that because she is one Mean Bitch.  Insert devastating Civil War, terribly devastating fight for the throne, and a great schism between the High Elves and what are now known as the "Dark Elves".  The latter have not been released as any sort of DLC, but eventually will be I'm sure.  Outside of somehow being totally evil as a culture compared to the basic High elf, they have a lot in common.  Good fighters, great wizards, not as arrow-heavy as the Wood Elves of Athel Loren.  The Dark Elves inhabit a different island mass from Ulthuan, and generally make a pain of themselves on the high seas and coasts to Elves and, later, Man alike.  Their goal is to take the Phoenix throne.  BTW, Malekith (and his Mom) are still very much alive.  They live a long, long time.
In the Lore, my exposure has been that the Dark Elves were important for three things; 1) the aforementioned Civil War, 3) a minor role in the downfall of the Old World (oh, sorry. Spoiler alert), and 2) the War of the Beard.  Did he say Beard?  Why yes, yes he did.  Who could that possibly imply?

Stay tuned next time to hear about how two Long-lived, slow-reproducing Races get their numbers fucked-over sideways.

When do we get to the f'd up weirdo creatures that trouble me so?

I'm pretty sure we passed those already with the Wood Elf hash-in: those are meldings of elf and nature-spirit. Except altered for the Hopelessly Fatal Spiral War of Doomy Doom.

Any news on Lizardmen dlc? I have Brettonian and Lizardmen mini's and just love the Lizardmen in Warhammer.
