An RTS/RPG game with a bit of total war like military simulator set in the world of warhammer fantasy. Ironically it was made WAAAAAY before Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and Total War: WARHAMMER came out, making it one of the oldest warhammer fantasy game known existence. In fact, it is THE FOURTH OLDEST WARHAMMER GAME, with its sequel Warhammer: Dark Omen being the FIFTH OLDEST. It was made by a studio named Mindscape (who brought you prince of persia and paperboy).
Plot[edit]
You are Morgan Bernhardt, a mercenary Commander tasked to stop "another" skaven world domination plan, where Thanquol will use the an Elven warpstone to GO FULL NORTH KOREA summon FUCKING RAT SATAN! the horned rat to the world. Nothing ordinary but at least chaos is not involved this time around.
Dark Omen[edit]
In the second game Dark Omen, Morgan is returned once again to stop the resurrection of some powerful undead king named the Dread King where he went through a plot development in the end and decided be a hero instead of a money grabbing mercenary.
Many key warhammer characters made an appearance in this game like Volkmar the sigmar pope, where he helped Morgan by gave him important information after reading the unbearable liber mortis (one of nagash's book) and claimed that he had a "struggle" with a monster composed entirely of fingers.
Tzarina Katarin the ice queen of Kislev appeared when Morgan arrived in Kislev in search of an artifact called "Hand of Nagash". She point to the said artifact's direction and offer an ice wizard to assist Morgan's journey.
King Louen Leoncour also appeared when Morgan arrived in Parravon while in search of the black grail.
Fucking Orion too appeared where he revealed the truth about the black grail.
Jesus Holy Sigmar, that's a lot of fucking cameos.
Gameplay[edit]
Every mission have you fight on a suppose pixelated battlefield where you must command your men to kill shit. If some of your men died, they can be reinforced with new soldiers for next turn, which you must paid in gold (mercenaries after all). There's a wide selection of units to choose from like your typical tabletop empire cannon fodder, crossbow man, fucking Norseman marauders (probably not chaos, hopefully...), some pansy elf fuck boy, wizards of many winds (including a Kislevan Ice Wizard), Dwarfs and artillery like mortars.
In the Future...[edit]
In The End Times: Vermintide, Franz Lohner, the bartender of the Red Moon Inn, is weirdly competent and informed for a dude serving drinks. He makes references to knowing Karl Franz and other powerful people, always seems to know what's up and what to do, and keeps the team together. A DLC shows that he has a Grudgebringer shield, and he sometimes makes references to owning a very nice sword, likely the Grudgebringer itself. Journal entries about the sequel wherein he talks about Elrod basically confirm him as Morgan Bernhardt. Further proof is given when he mentions that he received word from Bretonnian contacts that one of his new crew, Markus Kruber, was actually descended of Bretonnian nobility. Said contact is almost certainly Tristan de la Tour.
Ravandils Quest[edit]
OK, THIS IS WHAT YOU FUCKERS CAME FOR ISN'T IT?
