Editing The End Times (section)

==A precedent: Storm of Chaos==
The last time an event such as this happened, Storm of Chaos, the "Forces of Chaos" were [[Archaon|set to trump everything in the setting and usher in unending darkness/oblivion]]. Games Workshop set up fan games to decide how the story was set to go, which were meant to enforce the status quo by both sides winning and losing equally... except Chaos lost horribly time after time regardless of who they were matched against (in fact, the only faction in the "Forces of Chaos" that made meaningful gains was the Tomb Kings who were attached for a very flimsy fluff reason). To try and keep up the narrative and let Chaos gain some ground GW decided to write their own version where Archaon somehow managed to appear outside the gates of Middenheim despite having not been able to break out of his starting area while the Tomb Kings apparently just screwed off back to Nehekhara. Even THIS battle he lost. Rather than have the Empire triumph over the Warriors of Chaos, GW wrote a story in which [[Grimgor Ironhide|a single Orc warboss sneak attacked Archaon with a headbutt to the dick and thereby defeated the entire chaos army.]]
