I am curious how you guys pronounce the names in Age of Sigmar. For me a lot of the time I can't get into the fluff is because a lot of the names have changed for changes sake and I don't really like them. Maybe because I can't pronounce them is a reason why I don't like AoS fluff even more.

So how do you pronounce the names.

For me I will start it with Sigmar. I pronounce it as Sig mar. I guess that is simple enough. One thing I have learnt through 40K though even the simple words people say I pronounce them wrong. All the other names I am not even going to try LOL.

Joke. For the longest time I pronounced Stormcast Eternal as Sig Ma reene.

So let's have fun in this thread and hopefully I can learn new things.

*edit*

I can't pronounce any of the plains so if someone wants to start there, it would be great.

The only things I get confused on are Necron names and TK names, since they're pretty similar. Sometimes I think the writing staff just like to screw with us sometimes with the apostrophes.

As a rule I take pronunciation from BL audio books if available with the caveat that if the British pronunciation sounds a bit crazy to me I override I only break consistency here when I hear multiple narrators read the same name differently. Technically, it's all correct/valid.

Orcs, elves, umies basically same as before because the new names are stupid and done only for copyright reasons.

Except the lizardman one, whoever picked that is a sicko kids play this game...

....What?

He's talking about the Seraphon which is a play off of Seraph which means angels.

However, there's a deviantart artist who goes under the name of Seraphon as well who's into foot fetishes. So alot of trolls like to bring that up as a jab at AoS.

TK definitely takes the hardest names to pronounce prize. Lizardmen only look hard until you realize they're mostly joke names.

That makes complete sense.
