Well the reason why a clan eshin dlc came with a pair of clan skyre units is because the skaven unit roster is almost compleate and clan Eshin did not have that manny units to begin with compared to the other clans. The only things missing are: Clan Moulder: Giant/Wolf rats(,... maybe tunneling Beasts). Mounts: Great Poxrats, Brood Horrors, Clan Skyre: Stormfiends, Verminlords and a few legendary lords. The two most important missing ones being Thanquol and Throt the Unclean.
0:18 Huh, so it was Snikch who ran across my attic a year ago. Well he isn't as sneaky as you all might think, i discovered his undercity and locked him out. He used an old long out of order sewage pipe to climb from below my cellar through this pipe all the way to my attic and sneaked around. Heard his little tipple steps every night. ...And i think he didn't have his cowl back then. Or this was his wife-wife back then, because for one second i could see a prying nose. So, we cut a slot into the sewage pipe (remember, it's out of order so no smell, besides rat-smell yes-yes), shoved in some metal plates, which my father prepared just for that, so that we could horizontally seal off the entrance to the wicked Skaven undercity. True story. Never heard anything from dem ratlings again. But... you know... Since that moment with the peeking nose... That was kind of cute. Time to reload my Skaven save, yes-yes!
I can´t wait to unleash devilish schemes onto my unsuspecting foes, in the game everyone will probably know who the culprit was indicated by a diplomatic relation hit but Snikch just frowns and doesn´t care about diplomatic shenanigans. Thank you for the heads up on Snikch, loved the video. We (I) need a noob´s guide on the only truly benevolent leader in the Warhammer universe, Khalida.
Relax weeb, it's nothing to do with the name and he's making funny of the stereotype that fantasy Japan is obviously also full of Ninjas obviously because what else is Japan except Ninjas and Samurai? And of course the Rats who went there turned into master assassins/ninjas too (with Ninja magic)
