Back in one of the issues of White Dwarf Karl Franz had a special rules that once per battle phase he could say a prayer to Sigmar, who then turned all his stats to 10 for that phase. This was back in the day where having 10 in all stats allowed him to easily bulldoze everything, so even if you have a nice ward save you'll be getting your ass kicked. That other lady in the painting might be Karl Franz' sister. In the Gotrek & Felix novel Skavenslayer it's mentioned (according to Lexicanum in chapter 1, and they're sticklers for details like that) that Thanquol tried to manipulate the head of Nuln's secret police into arresting Karl Franz' brother-in-law, which would necessitate him having a sister.

And you’d be their brother-in-law or son-in-law. Similarly, a person marrying into your family would your in-law, but usually only that person. So, if Karl Franz has a married sister, her husband would be his brother-in-law, but her father would be his sister’s father-in-law.

Everyone else are powerful magic wielders, half dragons, ancient races some older than the empire itself or empowerment by god with superhuman abilities and expanded lifespans. Yet every single person there listens to Karl Franz and respects him and when they start bickering he is the one that unites them all.

I recall a scene from when Orion saved the life of Franz. That battle was actually caused by the Asrai flooding a river to get the beastmen to piss off and about halfway through the Asrai were getting ready to return to Athel Loren and leave the lumber foots to their fate. As they were getting ready to leave one of Orion's outriders asked how long could this world endure if they let heros like Franz die. Orion looked at her with so much anger she feared he was going to strike her down on the spot. Orion then laughed smiled and proceeded to blow the horn of the wild hunt the loudest it's ever sounded, before fighting his way to the unconscious form of the emperor. For hours and through his current incarnation taking several borderline mortal wounds Orion defended the fallen emperor until the minotaurs consumed in their bloodlust failed to see that the rest of the warheard had routed and were subsequently cut down. For as long as the weave endures so shall the Empire. Long Live Athen Loren, Long live the Empire! (yeah in case you haven't noticed I'm a bit of a hippy stand sue me)

One of my favorite things about our boy is how good of a balance he strikes between capable on his own, but still needs the help of others. Too many characters go too far on one way or the other, where they seem completely ineffectual without someone else’s help, or so ridiculously powerful they make everything boring.

This is a interesting thing, because earlier, I was just having a dream where I attended a Convention dressed as Karl Franz in full plate, made from Cardboard, so I could actually move, and was talking to other con goers thinking about making Karl's Griffon mount for my next con. It's almost like it's meant to be, I should also mention every where I went I screamed, "SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!" with applause usually. lol

The only other person that could be the Celestant Prime is the Abbot that cut Kemmler from the Wind of Death. But I personally think the Prime’s a fusion of the two. Think of it as Powermaster Optimus Prime, if Karl is Optimus, then the Abbot is Hi-Q.

Last time I was this early, Archaon was still a worshipper of Sigmar. And on a related note, when can we get a video on Archaon the Everchosen? I think it’s about time that the Horus/Abbadon/Lorgar/Huron Blackheart of Fantasy, figurehead of Chaos(excluding Daniel, Wulfrik, and Belakor), and harbinger of both Storm of Chaos and the Endtimes, for better and worse(mostly worse), finally got his time to shine.

And its fun to see the demons in a medieval setting where people are forced to fight with a sharp stick

To add to things; When Sigmar made the Celetant prime, he didnt wake up. He just was laying on the table, even though sigmar put a *stupid* amount of personal effort, nothing he did would revive Prime. Until they found Ghal-maraz, and lay it with Prime. This immediately woke him up and set him off to work. And this is the same hammer that Franz wielded, as that was specifically called out/referenced iirc. Also, Prime is a diplomat along with being funny stormcast warrior king man. He talks directly with other important members of order factions, though of course AoS is a bit smoooooth brain with how things go around soo yea.

But seriously, it would be a waste to make Karl Franz the Celestant Prime. Like, the greatest statesman in the old world and you waste him on a guy who's one job is to swing a hammer? Make him like a herald of Sigmar or something. Give him another f you sized griffin and shiny new rune sword and get him to go around to all the factions in the Mortal Realms to get them pointed at Chaos. Because as much as he hated babysitting petty little mortals during his first life, he was REALLY good at shouting "get your s**t together, there's things to kill" and not being an ass about it.
