Subject: Tammurkhan, AoS, and an unknown GW history nugget.
Not looking to start an argument or pick a fight, but the following interview, around the 10 minute mark threw up some First Hand Information I don’t think has been discussed before.
In short? Tammurkhan was something (in Rick’s own words, so could be verbal shorthand) the then CEO asked Rick to develop. Seemingly as a reboot of WHFB. Only for the project to end up scrapped, seemingly (again in Rick’s own words) in favour of AoS.
Now, I was there at the time. And I recall some pretty wild claims made about Warhammer Forge, Rick’s Departure, Tammurkhan etc. And none of them, to the best of my admittedly shonky memory, came even close to this.
So, have a watch and hopefully enjoy

I wonder at what stage it was abandoned as a reboot effort. I don't, personally, see how the lore there would point to a reboot of the setting, unless the intent was to basically just start telling entirely new stories whilst ignoring the lions share of what was already there?

Just go in a different, more detailed direction I guess.
I’ll keep monitoring the YouTube airwaves for this sort of content. And I do genuinely watch most before chucking them in the Link Tank thread, so if we get further details I can always revisit this thread. Which only exists as a thread because I found it to be uncommon, if not entirely new knowledge from a source about as reputable and First Hand as we can reasonably expect

I mean the latter is pretty much what TOW is doing, so that may well have been the plan?
In between Tamurkhan and the planned 2nd book in that series was planned another slice of lore books with the Battle for Blackfire Pass which was pretty close to being released when Gw canned it all.
