Grotmas Day 16 – Another fething Story!
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/5zd3rwuy/grotmas-day-16-a-gift-from-the-grandfather/
Time to wake up, sleepy head! 
Now that the gift giving is done, the smell of a feast is wafting through the air – but what’s that strange, acrid undercurrent? Drop back in tomorrow when dinner is served…

The problem with Nurgle fiction is that it tends to be boring and repetitive.

Some 40k Factions are as dull as a doorstop.
Khorne berserkers make for a cool tabletop, but I couldn't fathom an entire story of Blood raging nutballs screaming incoherently at each other for an entire novel.
Same with ultra-powered groups like the Grey Knights.
No one knows they exist, so they can't really interact with anyone, they can't be corrupted, so that angle of potential conflict is tossed out the window... and they fight daemons who, much like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, swear revenge after being defeated... again.

That's not true at all. They can interact with any # of other characters throughout the story. After they've handled whatever daemonic problem was important enough to attract their attention though? Then they purge all the witnesses...

They didn't purge anyone at the end of Wrath of Magnus, even after being led through the Fallen prison.

This is the standalone SMII co- op game that was published in WD. Honestly, putting the core rules out for free digitally is a great move because the game is a lot of fun. They've been adding units and missions in further WD issues, but the core game gives you plenty to start with.

Another story today. What's worse is that it's making Yriel, one of the holders of the 5 croneswords that supposedly are needed to defeat Slaanesh and fully awaken Ynnead, is now basically anti-Ynnead like pretty much all the main named Eldar characters. Really shows how they've given up Ynnead as a faction for Eldar and how they've written themselves into a corner.

I think it was a cool idea of "how do we combine all the Aeldari factions into one army," but it was poorly executed.
I really wish they had done more with it.

This is such a waste. All these stories with nothing that is directly tied in with them. Story with Yriel.....he still has no model on sale. Would it have killed them to give us a look at the new model we pretty much all know is coming now? I had stopped looking at grotmas, and only looked today because Valrak surmised that anything that had to do with Yriel would include a model revel. So much for that. Wake me on Christmas when hopefully we will get something actually worth looking at..........
