Obscure references in The End of Times Series

[charliemachina]

I have noticed that the End of Times seems to have lots of hidden references such as:

The Nameless - Drachenfels from the 1980's warhammer novel of the same name.

P 32 of Archaon Vlad gets a warning from a vampire with a strong accent - This seems to either be Ulrika the Vampire from Bloodborn and other novels or Genevieve from Drachenfels / Genevieve Undead etc.

Taurin the Wanderer from p 30 of Archaon - This seems to be a reference to a character from this army list from 2013

What other hidden references have you spotted??????

Glad someone else worked out the Drachenfels thing. There were also references to Detlef Sierck the playwright who was a protagonist in the Drachenfels and Genevieve books.

Sierck's been popping up in Warhammer fiction for years. He's very frequently referenced in Gotrek and Felix.

We worked out Drachenfels a while ago (or I did, anyway). The young vampire who talks to Vlad is more likely to be Genevieve (who IIRC is only like 18?) than Ulrika, who's (spoilers!) killed off in Kinslayer, which takes place a year or two before Vlad's march to his death in Archaon.
