One day, an elderly skaven of Clan Eshin was walking along the fetid pools near his home when he noticed something odd. Four baby turtles had somehow found their way deep underground into Skavenblight. In a rare act of pity, the skaven took the creatures into his home. Some time later, sensing the end of his days, he decided that it was time to pass on his skills. However, he had long since learned that his own kind could not be trusted. So rather than train a young skaven who would no doubt use the very skills he passed to them to kill him, he instead took the turtles to a contact from Clan Moulder. His instructions were simple. They must be intelligent enough to understand his teachings, humanoid so that they could perform his techniques, and above all else, unquestionably loyal. The deed was done, for a considerable cost in warp stone. And as the Eshin elder looked upon his new disciples, Clan Skryre made yet another monumental fuck up. One of their inventions exploded violently, tearing open a rift in reality which pulled the turtles and their new mentor into a new world. Now finding themselves in a world where skaven did not exist and the man-animals ruled unopposed, the elder looked to his new sons and made one firm decision. They would survive.
I've always liked Clan Moulder. "You get glued to something with Warpstone salve," " _You_ get glued to those two with Warpstone salve..." "...and YOU get glued to that mess with MORE WARPSTONE SALVE" *"YOU'RE ALL GETTING GLUED TOGETHER WITH WARPSTONE SALVE!"* - Master Moulder
Arch has gained the following trait: 'Hatred of Weebs' +5 leadership when fighting anime fans "Turns out that when you run with your arms behind you, you tend to die as stupidly as you look"
teenage mutant ninja rats teenage mutant ninja rats teenage mutant ninja rats their the world's most skittish fighting team their heros in the sewers, enemies come on let's flee when the evil other skaven attack these skaven boys won't cut em no slack teenage mutant ninja rats teenage mutant ninja rats teenage mutant ninja rats
you know I never thought about it before but for space marines *most* chapters and like 5 ships and just focus on land combat......meah there my least favorite 40k faction anyways.
Here's what bugs me about space marines as a whole, imagine I'm some semi- important, soon to retire and become irrelevant commander on old tera working deep under the Himalayas.. Emperor: Come, you and your men are ordered to build faculties for my latest project Me: What is this project my lord? Emperor: I am developing the greatest warriors mankind has ever known!!!! Me: Are they gene altered warriors changing there bodys at will, the wrath of evolution incarnate! Armed with claws of bone, acid filed spines and think carapaces. if they face cold they will evolve fur, faced with blade they will evolve to move and dodge it! such would be a terrible weapon. Emperor: NO!!!!!! my children will be stronger than that! Me: Is it a swarm of tiny nanobots, too small to fight and dissolving your enemy's from the inside out? Emperor: NO!!!!!! my children will be stronger than that! Me: Have you taken your best warriors and implanted there brains into cybernetic body's. they would be stronger and faster then any living thing, able to switch into a different body to perfectly fit there mission on a case by case basis. each would have the power of a supercomputer inside his mind calculating each and every shot. Perhaps best of all they could be completely destroyed and as long as the brain survives, they will be remade! if this is what you have made you are truly the greatest genus mankind has ever known! Emperor: NO!!!!!! my children will be stronger than that! Me: Um.........is it.......... I have no fucking clue is it just a fuck ton of um........FELINIDS!!!!!! SEXEY SEXEY FELINIDS!!!!!!!! Emperor: THEY WILL BE DUDES BUT LIKE REALEY BIG DUDES LIKE SUPER DUPER BODY BUILDERS THAT HAVE HAD MEGA STEROIDS BUT NOT. THEN WE TAKE A BUNCH OF DUDES PUT THEM IN MY BEST ARMOUR AND THEY JUST BRO ACCROSS THE UNAVERSE Me: um...... that sounds kinda gay (instantly shot in the face) space marines are litarley the least creative thing I have ever seen outside of startrek. there just SO DULL there just big dudes, what a rip off for my super cool gene altered warriors. LAME! NO CREATIVITEY ( good thing the rest of 40k has tons of cool stuff)
Kyber Cat I think you're overreacting a bit, also some of your ideas mentioned men of iron-ish tech, and I don't think that I have to explain why big E wouldn't, most propably, do it. Also we have to remember that Emps built them not olny as a soldiers, but also as leaders and protectors of soon-to-be his Imperium and guys who unify it (preety much supermen), where psychological effect of SM works quite good, imagine this: You're some guy living on a feral world during the grat crusade. One day a werid flying ship lands near your village, and from it comes group of giant, muscular guys in heavy armour armed with shining swords and other cool shit. "Dayum, they look like heroes of old legends" you think to yourself. Then one of them says -Greetings this planet's humans! Do you want to join our interstellar Empire led by a guy who's even bigger and mightier than us? Would you refuse him? In the other hand you have some really cool ideas. Ever thought of writing a book?
Years later, it turns out Dev is the perfect Eshen-Roleplayer. Entirely convinced his plans will work and even learning the art of not loudly roleplaying while trying to achieve his objective( whatever that may be).
My goodness!I thought it was just me who works out to Sabaton! Thank goodness, I decided to wait this week and listen to this wonderful Skaven lore before my workout this week!
So basically the Foot Clan, but meaner & on steroids, bet you there is someone who named his hero or favorite model Hamato Yoshi, then added some mutated Lizard Men as his retinue & has Chaos Warlord, or Dark Elf Lord would also work, with a thing for spikes & wields bladed fist weapons as his main enemy! :D
I'm surprised that one of the lords of decay actually lost in combat,as most of the current Council of Thirteen are more than likely to gut any rat foolish enough to challenge then.
Thomas Wightman yeah last skaven to openly hate the horned rat spontaneously and violently bursted into warpflames and burned for days alive and once he was ash his loud scream was still heard for weeks, sends a powerful message to the others
Alexander Owens I still wouldn't be surprised if another aspiring skaven thought to himself " that's a nice seat, I think I'll have it" and then ended up as chargrilled rat, remember every single ratman thinks he's immortal
If so, it is not recorded. Unlikely though. Every last Skaven is scared far beyond reason's fourth cousin twice removed when it comes to the horned bastard.
You touched upon an important aspect of the Skaven; their egomania combined with their paranoia. They think their race is the greatest to ever grace the world. But because they see themselves as so competent, they view each OTHER as way more threatening than any of the enemy countries. Hopefully, when playing Skaven, the game is programmed to make world domination as hard as possible. Perhaps if your Skaven faction has the highest power rating, every other one will team up to knock you down a peg.
Well, the new mechanic is that EVERY faction will do that anyway, not Skaven exclusive. Also, loyalty is a feature of Skaven generals so if it drops to zero, you have yourself an enemy army, with units handpicked by you (so the build is actually good)
my theory is that pickle rick and splinter from tmnt fought each other on the battlefield rick being of course a sell sword employed by armies that needed him and splinter being a less than common skaven they fought epic battles but they could never quite kill each other always managing to just get away one day they were fighting both reaching the end of their careers splinter because he was old rick because there were hundreds of thousands rat ogres coming straight for them they danced a deadly dance of life and death their battlefield lighted only by the warpstone cavern in a quick move splinter slashes a warpstones crystal shattering it in the face of pickle rick and makes his escape into one of the thousands of tunnels rick looking down quickly grabs a chunk of WARP STONE wink* and escapes via hole above the chamber climbing to safety from the now furious rat ogres...soon thereafter splinter recived his discharge papers having fought with the great verminetide his whole life he sets out on a new adventure in New York rick remained on the run the vermintide now looking everywhere for him Ricks new invention the portal gun took him to a strange new world
Arch could you do a lore video , ranking the space marines in terms of which had the most violent /successful/most skilled troops/most technologically equipped /best weaponry/legendary leaders - and do your best to rank them in a list , I think this would be a good video , when I typed in "most powerful space marines chapters" there was no definitive video on the subject and it is a very commonly searched request on Google , I only typed in ' most powerful s" and I could see it . No need for a short video make it an hour plus please .
Also there general strong/weak points in the actual game itself , which are the most efficient and valuable troops per point , and which are just simply the coolest
The answer is pretty clear though! Obviously, the Dark Angels, being the first legion, are the greatest and most powerful Chapter of Space Marines. That being said, the rest are irrelevant.
Dicerson EXCEPT THE DARK ANGELS ARE NOW A COMPLETELY NORMAL SIZED CHAPTER OF UNQUESTIONED LOYALTY THAT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY HAVE ANY PATTERN OF UNUSUALLY CLOSE COOPERATION WITH ITS MANY SUCCESSOR CHAPTERS, AND CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE LEGION-LEVEL FORCES AT ITS DISPOSAL. AND SO YOUR POINT IS MOOT.
I cant breathe... Love your indepth vids. Especialy the way you describe things, it's killing me from a disturbing inability to inhale oxygen properly!
What would you think if they did TWW3, Arch? They could maybe have Cathay as an actual army, maybe with units from Ind and Nippon working as mercenaries. And there could even still be a Clan Eshin faction living in Cathay - there's really no telling how many of them stayed behind when the others returned to Skavenblight is there? They might even Ogre and Chaos Dwarf armies to play around with, huh?
well to be fair there isnt exactly much chance they could practically get all of the iconic units in by launch. pretty much every skaven unit has so much personality its iconic and unless you want to cut serious corners with the elves we arent getting all the clans iconic units plus hellpit abomination is simply THE most adorable thing i have seen all year so im willing to be lenient with them
Jerec 12 Yeah man..but think about it...no Doom Flayers, no Warplock Jezzails, no Packmaster, no Ratling Gunner, no poisoned Wind Mortar, no Giant rats or rat swarms
Timefliesbye No no,,Giant rats..basicly Skaven Direwolves..or Chaos Hounds..as for the rat swarms idk honestly thought it just might be cool 😂 Btw, you rlly think they would release all the previous mentioned units in one DLC?
what do most of these of these have in common? skyre, if we are ever getting a skaven lord pack it will be skyre based and we will get most of those. also the poisoned wind mortar seems kind of irrelevant when you have the plague claw catapult which is just better. and giant rat swarms are just fucking pointless
Poison Wind Mortar, Jezzails, Doomflayer and Ratling Guns will come with Skryre themed dlc mate - most likely with Ikit Claw. I'm not sure if Giant Rats, Wolf Rats and Packmasters will make it - not unless they do addition to Clan Moulder with Throt but never say never.
Oh my god! It's about damn time Arch! It's only been a little under a year since your last Skaven video. I mean, you're supposed to be a huge skaven fanboy, but it's taken you this long to just get to the second of the 5 major skaven clans. I'm not going to keep holding out hope that you'll get to Clan Mors, Moulder, or Pestilens, let alone a few of the lesser but still major clans like Clan Rictus.
Rat ninja!...at least we know that one of them won't be having four adoptive tortoise sons (!) You've covered Clan Skryre. | 5:16 - So it was more likely to kill them?...it was easier to eat those who made it. | 6:16 - LOL!!! | 6:44 - They were probably created before the terms "Weeaboo" and "Otaku" was more widely known, but...LOL!!! | 7:49 - Yeah, stealth would work better with that...LOL!!! | 12:14 - Nurgle loves Clan Pestilens. | 14:50 - Their diseases affected their judgement (even by Skaven standards) | 16:20 - Well, if you define loyalty as being able to buy it, then yes it is...there are some lines even a Skaven wouldn't cross.
I would guess they are about equally strong and tough and almost equally agile. However, Skaven have the edge in dexterity and pure speed and a few minor advantages such as incisors and claws. I'd argue that because of their metabolism and jittery nature they also have a tad better reflexes. While Goblins and Skaven are both cowardly however, unless this is a Night Goblin, I'd argue the Common Goblin is slightly braver than the average Skaven, certainly braver than Skavenslaves. The courage would matter little though if the fight was certain. The odds favor, I guess, the Skaven.
I think there's a quote from sniper that states Eshin's business model quite well. "As long as there's two people alive, some one is gonna want someone dead"
Oh yes yes it easy to kill and poison but only the true greatest clan clan Mors could take a region. Take it from me me a totally impartial observer and not the one true greatest skaven no no.
Please do some major WH fantasy conficts like you did for armageddon! Ps also the horus heresy would be nice (you talked about it in the beast arises i think)
One day, an elderly skaven of Clan Eshin was walking along the fetid pools near his home when he noticed something odd.

dude, that gave me goose bumps
Beautiful just beautiful
*claps" yes so much fucking yes!
and that is how the teenage mutant ninja turtles were born!
@@iainhansen1047 now we need an ultra dark, sin city esque movie based on this tmnt origin story.
I've always liked Clan Moulder.
"You get glued to something with Warpstone salve,"
" _You_ get glued to those two with Warpstone salve..."
"...and YOU get glued to that mess with MORE WARPSTONE SALVE"
*"YOU'RE ALL GETTING GLUED TOGETHER WITH WARPSTONE SALVE!"*
- Master Moulder
How dare dare you steal take Clan Moulder's secret recipe plan for Hell pit abomination!
Teenage? They wish they had that kind of life expectancy :P
Col Kent to be fair teenager for a skaven is like 2~3 years
Wouldn't a teenage skaven be any skaven old enough to kill an adult, but not old enough that he has a single speck of warpstone to his name?
Arch has gained the following trait: 'Hatred of Weebs' +5 leadership when fighting anime fans
"Turns out that when you run with your arms behind you, you tend to die as stupidly as you look"
This is so amazing. I’m glad I scrolled a bit 😂 sounds like an actual warhammer trait
teenage mutant ninja rats
teenage mutant ninja rats
teenage mutant ninja rats
their the world's most skittish fighting team
their heros in the sewers, enemies come on let's flee
when the evil other skaven attack these skaven boys won't cut em no slack

So Shreddar, he is basically a Khorne berserker? They always did call him a demon I guess.
Did you know master splinter was actually from clan Eshin
Andrew Apalategui That explains alot actual.
mr maxwell ikr
He was kicked out for being a wuss
Well being in new york sure did mellow him out then.
Sounds reasonable
Eshin Special Deal: Buy One Knifing, Get One Poisoning Free.*
Standard fee for not getting back stabbed applies for both.
Hot damn that’s a deal if I’ve ever heard one!
When u about to go gym but Arch drops a lore video so bench press will have to hear about the Mighty Skaven
Stop making excuses and start turning that mush into muscles!
Some Warpstone might help with muscle growth. Or it might give you a severe case of warpcancer, the odds are 50/50 really. Maybe.
sfoth91 probably
sfoth91 50/25/25 he might randomly explode
No the name is not space marines.
The name is ground marines.
you know I never thought about it before but for space marines *most* chapters and like 5 ships and just focus on land combat......meah there my least favorite 40k faction anyways.
I think here he was talking about Snowfl...sorry, Primaris Marines
But Ground Marines are also an abomination
Here's what bugs me about space marines as a whole, imagine I'm some semi- important, soon to retire and become irrelevant commander on old tera working deep under the Himalayas..
Emperor: Come, you and your men are ordered to build faculties for my latest project
Me: What is this project my lord?
Emperor: I am developing the greatest warriors mankind has ever known!!!!
Me: Are they gene altered warriors changing there bodys at will, the wrath of evolution incarnate! Armed with claws of bone, acid filed spines and think carapaces. if they face cold they will evolve fur, faced with blade they will evolve to move and dodge it! such would be a terrible weapon.

Emperor: THEY WILL BE DUDES BUT LIKE REALEY BIG DUDES LIKE SUPER DUPER BODY BUILDERS THAT HAVE HAD MEGA STEROIDS BUT NOT. THEN WE TAKE A BUNCH OF DUDES PUT THEM IN MY BEST ARMOUR AND THEY JUST BRO ACCROSS THE UNAVERSE
Me: um...... that sounds kinda gay (instantly shot in the face)
space marines are litarley the least creative thing I have ever seen outside of startrek. there just SO DULL there just big dudes, what a rip off for my super cool gene altered warriors. LAME! NO CREATIVITEY ( good thing the rest of 40k has tons of cool stuff)

Would you refuse him?
In the other hand you have some really cool ideas. Ever thought of writing a book?
Oh shit... that's woke my dude...
Man I would love to see Skaven in 40k.
The Hrud were skaven. Then they changed the Hrud to frickin slimy shit stains.
I can imagine a cloud of Skaven slaves flying through space as AAA defense..
Why not use them in a daemon army, and say they're a unique strain of Nurgle's Zombie Plague?
the tyranid basically fill the role the skaven had in warhammer
I think the Stryxis are the closest thing to Skaven in current lore.
Years later, it turns out Dev is the perfect Eshen-Roleplayer. Entirely convinced his plans will work and even learning the art of not loudly roleplaying while trying to achieve his objective( whatever that may be).
Damnit Arch! I'm trying to work out while listening to Sabaton! I don't have time for your damn nonsense about "talking rats!"
BigBroLittleSis1 What a coincidence. I was trying to listen to Sabaton as well; 'Gott Mit Uns' to be specific.
Brutalyte616 I was on "Winged Hussars" when the notification popped up.
BigBroLittleSis1 squek squek
BigBroLittleSis1
Dude same, though I was on Primo Victoria.
My goodness!I thought it was just me who works out to Sabaton! Thank goodness, I decided to wait this week and listen to this wonderful Skaven lore before my workout this week!
Skaven: HUMANS SUCK
*Five minutes later*
Skaven: We just got ninjas. Fuck yes
Pineapple belongs on everything! The Horned Rat commands it.
HERTIC
Yes-yes new skaven lore yes-yes!!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Clan-rats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Clan-rats... SKAVEN POWER!!
Not 40k - heresy
Non-existant rat men - DOUBLE HERESY
"For I journeyed too the Mystic east... a fish and chip shop in Blackpool"- Bill Oddie- Ecky Thump
Skaven are so cool. Lots of interesting stuff
What's nice about the missing units for the skaven roster is only one CANT be added through mods.
So basically the Foot Clan, but meaner & on steroids, bet you there is someone who named his hero or favorite model Hamato Yoshi, then added some mutated Lizard Men as his retinue & has Chaos Warlord, or Dark Elf Lord would also work, with a thing for spikes & wields bladed fist weapons as his main enemy! :D
Giant ratmen, how did you know I was going to Disneyworld soon Arch?
I'm surprised that one of the lords of decay actually lost in combat,as most of the current Council of Thirteen are more than likely to gut any rat foolish enough to challenge then.
I'm a simple manthing. I see a mighty Skaven video, I smash-hit the Like button.
Arch, you really should call the first Eshin hero the game lets you field "Master Splinter".
Has anyone ever challenged the Horned Rat for his seat, or do all Skaven recognize they're not that level of superior?
Its a god, you can try to challenge vacum but youll probably loose
octasteve their skaven, what do you expect
Thomas Wightman yeah last skaven to openly hate the horned rat spontaneously and violently bursted into warpflames and burned for days alive and once he was ash his loud scream was still heard for weeks, sends a powerful message to the others
Alexander Owens I still wouldn't be surprised if another aspiring skaven thought to himself " that's a nice seat, I think I'll have it" and then ended up as chargrilled rat, remember every single ratman thinks he's immortal
If so, it is not recorded. Unlikely though. Every last Skaven is scared far beyond reason's fourth cousin twice removed when it comes to the horned bastard.
Emperor damn it, Arch. xD This is one of your funniest videos in my opinion, well done!
Please do more war hammer videos. Dont know much about it and love the way you explain everything
same I know 40k lore but not Warhammer lore
Me too!
I learned so much about Warhammer lore from this channel, didn't know it was so deep and interesting before!
Same I've been thinking about getting into AoS because of this Channel.
+MrAdd82
That's really weird considering Arch's opinion on this unmentionable abomination of plot development ^.^
You touched upon an important aspect of the Skaven; their egomania combined with their paranoia. They think their race is the greatest to ever grace the world. But because they see themselves as so competent, they view each OTHER as way more threatening than any of the enemy countries. Hopefully, when playing Skaven, the game is programmed to make world domination as hard as possible. Perhaps if your Skaven faction has the highest power rating, every other one will team up to knock you down a peg.
Well, the new mechanic is that EVERY faction will do that anyway, not Skaven exclusive. Also, loyalty is a feature of Skaven generals so if it drops to zero, you have yourself an enemy army, with units handpicked by you (so the build is actually good)
Splinter was a skaven confirmed.
I was hoping to hear about How they paint their fur black and have their scent glands removed surgically.
yes yes very good man-thing make info on great sneak-clan eshin
When will the clan Eshin train four mutan turtles in the under empire?
One day Clan Skyre made an oopsie, isn't that everyday?
How did Clan Eshin learn ninja arts?
The same way the rest of us did: Saturday Afternoon Ninja Movie Matinee.
Eshin?
Eshout.
Breadlines!!!
GOT EM
THIS IS NOT TIPIN
my theory is that pickle rick and splinter from tmnt fought each other on the battlefield rick being of course a sell sword employed by armies that needed him and splinter being a less than common skaven they fought epic battles but they could never quite kill each other always managing to just get away one day they were fighting both reaching the end of their careers splinter because he was old rick because there were hundreds of thousands rat ogres coming straight for them they danced a deadly dance of life and death their battlefield lighted only by the warpstone cavern in a quick move splinter slashes a warpstones crystal shattering it in the face of pickle rick and makes his escape into one of the thousands of tunnels rick looking down quickly grabs a chunk of WARP STONE wink* and escapes via hole above the chamber climbing to safety from the now furious rat ogres...soon thereafter splinter recived his discharge papers having fought with the great verminetide his whole life he sets out on a new adventure in New York rick remained on the run the vermintide now looking everywhere for him Ricks new invention the portal gun took him to a strange new world
Yay more skaven also I'd love to see you play salaries and make space skaven
Jokes on u splinter is really a skaven and the turtles were mutated by warp stone
So an entire clan of Splinters?
Only the assasins
Arch, you’re Skaven videos are far and away your most funny.
Arch could you do a lore video , ranking the space marines in terms of which had the most violent /successful/most skilled troops/most technologically equipped /best weaponry/legendary leaders - and do your best to rank them in a list , I think this would be a good video , when I typed in "most powerful space marines chapters" there was no definitive video on the subject and it is a very commonly searched request on Google , I only typed in ' most powerful s" and I could see it . No need for a short video make it an hour plus please .
Also there general strong/weak points in the actual game itself , which are the most efficient and valuable troops per point , and which are just simply the coolest
That could be a cool idea*.
But something so detailed need time.
*and oppurtunity
The answer is pretty clear though!
Obviously, the Dark Angels, being the first legion, are the greatest and most powerful Chapter of Space Marines. That being said, the rest are irrelevant.
Isn't the answer for everything good usually the fucking Smurf Marines because it's the Marry Sue chapter with the Marry Sue primarc?
Dicerson EXCEPT THE DARK ANGELS ARE NOW A COMPLETELY NORMAL SIZED CHAPTER OF UNQUESTIONED LOYALTY THAT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY HAVE ANY PATTERN OF UNUSUALLY CLOSE COOPERATION WITH ITS MANY SUCCESSOR CHAPTERS, AND CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE LEGION-LEVEL FORCES AT ITS DISPOSAL. AND SO YOUR POINT IS MOOT.
Thats heresy arch, ratmen don't exist!
A Random Crusader - not in 40k that is
Matt
Sigmar is confused.
A Random Crusader - I can always count on you calling out heresy in every video
Mitchel Loughman
Thank you, I do as the lord commands.
Maybe if you sat down with a plague monk you'd find you're not so different after all...
I cant breathe...
Love your indepth vids.
Especialy the way you describe things, it's killing me from a disturbing inability to inhale oxygen properly!
What would you think if they did TWW3, Arch? They could maybe have Cathay as an actual army, maybe with units from Ind and Nippon working as mercenaries. And there could even still be a Clan Eshin faction living in Cathay - there's really no telling how many of them stayed behind when the others returned to Skavenblight is there? They might even Ogre and Chaos Dwarf armies to play around with, huh?
Splinter was a Skaken? ~derp~
I would love to play as one of these guys in a stealth game.
Skaven Secret Police, reporting for duty
finally, another skaven clan video, please do all the clans, this would be awesome fro total war warhammer 2 build up
also, clan skyre for life
I don't think Arch will like the Skaven roster in Warhammer 2...they missed ALOT of iconic units
well to be fair there isnt exactly much chance they could practically get all of the iconic units in by launch.
pretty much every skaven unit has so much personality its iconic and unless you want to cut serious corners with the elves we arent getting all the clans iconic units
plus hellpit abomination is simply THE most adorable thing i have seen all year so im willing to be lenient with them
Jerec 12 Yeah man..but think about it...no Doom Flayers, no Warplock Jezzails, no Packmaster, no Ratling Gunner, no poisoned Wind Mortar, no Giant rats or rat swarms
Timefliesbye No no,,Giant rats..basicly Skaven Direwolves..or Chaos Hounds..as for the rat swarms idk honestly thought it just might be cool 😂 Btw, you rlly think they would release all the previous mentioned units in one DLC?
what do most of these of these have in common?
skyre, if we are ever getting a skaven lord pack it will be skyre based and we will get most of those.
also the poisoned wind mortar seems kind of irrelevant when you have the plague claw catapult which is just better.
and giant rat swarms are just fucking pointless
Poison Wind Mortar, Jezzails, Doomflayer and Ratling Guns will come with Skryre themed dlc mate - most likely with Ikit Claw. I'm not sure if Giant Rats, Wolf Rats and Packmasters will make it - not unless they do addition to Clan Moulder with Throt but never say never.
Greetings and salutations, Arch, keep up the good work :)
Mors when?
Also am excite for Vraks, love the Death Korps.
I miss my skaven army with fully kitted skaven assasin
Ye old oop artwork.
Warhammer RIP
It's the Arch Warhammer Rat-o-thon as the mouthy misanthrope finally gets to gush about his favorite faction!
Shorter videos? NOOOO! However will we survive without long samples of your lovely and soothing voice?!
Aww. I find Skaven really adorable. I love your videos.
I think Grandmaster splinter is an a typical skaven who is not evil.
Oh my god! It's about damn time Arch!
It's only been a little under a year since your last Skaven video. I mean, you're supposed to be a huge skaven fanboy, but it's taken you this long to just get to the second of the 5 major skaven clans. I'm not going to keep holding out hope that you'll get to Clan Mors, Moulder, or Pestilens, let alone a few of the lesser but still major clans like Clan Rictus.
Witch hunter lore, please??
I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing your metaphors, Arch! xD
Rat ninja!...at least we know that one of them won't be having four adoptive tortoise sons (!) You've covered Clan Skryre. | 5:16 - So it was more likely to kill them?...it was easier to eat those who made it. | 6:16 - LOL!!! | 6:44 - They were probably created before the terms "Weeaboo" and "Otaku" was more widely known, but...LOL!!! | 7:49 - Yeah, stealth would work better with that...LOL!!! | 12:14 - Nurgle loves Clan Pestilens. | 14:50 - Their diseases affected their judgement (even by Skaven standards) | 16:20 - Well, if you define loyalty as being able to buy it, then yes it is...there are some lines even a Skaven wouldn't cross.
Skaven-Marines when?
storm fiends
Clan Moulder.
So clan eshin is just a bunch of master splinters
random question: how would it end a fist fight between an average skaven and an average goblin?
Are they on pair in terms of muscle force?
I would guess they are about equally strong and tough and almost equally agile. However, Skaven have the edge in dexterity and pure speed and a few minor advantages such as incisors and claws. I'd argue that because of their metabolism and jittery nature they also have a tad better reflexes. While Goblins and Skaven are both cowardly however, unless this is a Night Goblin, I'd argue the Common Goblin is slightly braver than the average Skaven, certainly braver than Skavenslaves. The courage would matter little though if the fight was certain. The odds favor, I guess, the Skaven.
I think there's a quote from sniper that states Eshin's business model quite well. "As long as there's two people alive, some one is gonna want someone dead"
Oh god... ninja rats now I can imagine skaven naruto running.
omg master splinter was a ratman too!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Rats,sounds so awsome.
Thank you Arch a wonderfull Video
Plastic? The Skaven only has Warpstone derivatives, like exploding armor plates and etc.
which clan is next?
>Best Skaven clan
Implying it's not Skyre...
FishBallista Mors is best clan.
implying its not moulder
tell me when you make something half as cute as the hellpit abomb
@@jerec1267 Implying that it's not Pestilens
Let me know how your case of red-pox comes along
Arch.....we all know that Ratmen don't exi- ...
Oh shit they do....
Hey, story time with Arch is story time with Arch. 20 minutes or an hour, doesn't matter to me.
Best Clan. Btw - Arch will you be starting with Queek or Skrulk when TTW2 comes out? I vote Queek.
Hey can you do a lore vid on the navies of the more obscure factions like the beastmen or the lizard men or the chaos dwarves or the skaven
Rats trying to traverse a body of water on their own... you know what you're asking for is ridiculous xD
A exploding potato beastmen don't have ships
Master Splinter's backstory confirmed,
Arch has the great deceiver in the end of his intro.
Coincidence? I think HERESY!!!!
I lol'd pretty hard at the intro, watching this after Vraks
Edit slip up. Those pauses seeem a bit long :) not complaining just pointing out.
Would love to see Deathmaster Skinitch in the TW:WH 2 game.
Eshin best Skaven? That's an insult to the most great-great clan Skryre!
Skryre makes best-best whoopsies.
Rodent Ninja of unusual size. I don't think they exist.
I can't wait for arch to do a campaign series for the skaven tww campaign, with his typical narrative on those horrible man things.
Is it just me or does the little furries nation sometime seem like the imperium in 40K just in miniature as well as more insane and ratty.
No, just more ratty.
A ninja rat.... Splinter from TMNT anyone?
Have you ever seen Ninja in the Dragon's Den? The theme tune would be great for this vid.
Oh yes yes it easy to kill and poison but only the true greatest clan clan Mors could take a region. Take it from me me a totally impartial observer and not the one true greatest skaven no no.
Holy crap... I guess this answers my question from the trailer
Also, Ecclesiastical lore or most specifically... missionaries and Confessors?
Evil version of shredder then
An entire race of highly evoled jews? Trained in the ninja arts? And yet people want to say 'Warhammer isn't diverse'!
BRAVO GAMESWORKSHOP!
What's with the weird pauses in the video?
Yeah, methinks he got a little too excited about his rat-waifus and forgot to edit them out before releasing.
sounded more like checking the skript since they were a tad to long for just breathing ^^
Timefliesbye ç
Warp Interference. #BlameLogar
I always do.
Not about this clan in particular, but I'm saddened to find out that the warpstone cannon is a Skaven contraption......
Fun and interesting. 10/10
Still waiting for you to play Mark of Chaos Arch!
I LOVE MY RAT PEOPLE
teenage mutan ninja rats... yeah i just keep caling them Splinters on sterios........
Please do some major WH fantasy conficts like you did for armageddon!
Ps also the horus heresy would be nice (you talked about it in the beast arises i think)
I feel that he is a bit bias
I miss the background music from the old lore videos :(
