GW are making me really hate the Skaven and Archaon - rant
Not sure how well this fits the sub. This is related to the rumors about AoS 5th edition but is also heavily related to the End Times. I know these are just rumors, and I hope they are false, but this really upset me, even though I am not a huge AoS fan by any stretch of the imagination.
I started off really liking Skaven and being okay with Archaon. After the End Times, and especially now, I started to really hate them. It is just so obnoxious to have these characters/factions just get win after win handed to them, while destroying and killing everything people loved about the settings in the process. Why should I even care or get invested in these settings if I know that nothing matters and after a few editions we are just going to ignore anything that was set up for years, and just have Archaon and the rat gang just curb-stomp everything to start over. Wow, such grimdark! truly this is a hopeless setting! So annoying...
This sucks, because Skaven are like the only thing remotely original Games Workshop came up with for Fantasy. I really like rats, I love their aesthetics and their culture. I love the clan system and the council of 13. I love the crazy engineering and the frankenstein stuff. I should love this faction but I just no longer can because of GW's shit writing...
