Intro by Henrik Sigeman
4:45 - So skaven start service once their skull has hardened.
Arch's love of skaven is contagious. He makes them sound so fun and cuddly.
Just realised that the horned rat theoretically has the most followers in existance
-the Skaven race was almost destroyed from constant infighting.
-thousands more then died just choosing the council of 13.
-Still outnumbers the whole world.
That’s a lotta ratties.
3 years later and boy do we have some good stuff.
You know, having read the end times, I’m surprised that Queak Headtaker didn’t try to challenge the Horned Rat for his seat.
"Betrayal is never a question of if... but simply, Qhuwen"
Keego Bricks I
Keego Bricks, Aint it kind of funny and ironic how you like to listen to these videos and make funny comments and then go cry on m&c:s comment section how Arch sucks and you hate him? :D
the human equivalent of a skaven is you
temba92 I know it’s been a year, but did keego bricks really do that?
@@temba92 Arch is the best!
Idk why he'd talk shit about Arch and yet watch him at the same time though. Kind of petty!
I think the idea of playing as Morrs makes sense in the campaign, with the 4 great clans being political forces you need to curry favour with in order to unlock access to their patronage for units and structures aligned to them. of course, get too strong and the 4 great clans might just decide "fuck you" and create a nice little end game state for Morrs
TheAlbion then its time for queek to say hi to nurglich
TheAlbion Yeh, Clan Mors is my fave. Loyal Skaven for the win?
For Skaven treachery's a way of life,
nothing is more natural than death and strife...
Giuseppe Cangelosi SAY IT TOGETHER NOW!
the Skaven! yesyes!
Which would make it impossible to advance in any way.
Civilization and everything we have today is because of stability and cooperation.
This is why I've never jived with grimdark fiction. It's totally unrealistic.
Good game, the "lore" is laughable.
+Ryan Murphy Nope. All animals evolve mostly through "strife", i.e. "selection". From the earliest iterations of "civilization", the city states of Sumer - there was near-constant war. Its today's relative peace that's an aberration...
In the past four centuries Europeans conquered virtually the whole planet - while constantly fighting among themselves. It was the merciless grind of endless European war that allowed their civilization to basically emerge globally triumphant.
Only in 1914 did Europeans get so good at killing each-other that the argument began to be made that "maybe this is too much strife"... of course the fascists disagreed on principle, and...
Needless to say, you don't just kill each-other like retards: you group into genetically-similar groups - then kill each-other...
Skaven society is set up basically so that only the most intelligent lead. They grind each-other in a constant process of selection that allows only the most tenacious to survive and prosper. AND they can sustain this grind because of their ridiculous fecundity... No wonder they basically win.
Only 30 minutes about skaven? Arch, are you ill or something? I'm worried
To be fair, it's 30 minutes talking about a single image of promotional material, with 12 of those being a prologue to the actual subject at hand... I think it was proportionally adequate for Arch's standards.
he is busy mating with some rat folk currently and didn't have the time to spare to make a longer video.
Too bad most of it is now a "dead" lore. After all mess that Age of Sigmar has done.
@Arcling Simply don't acknowledge Age of Shitmar at all and you are fine^^
Hey don't judge but age of sigmar lore is shit but the game is fun.
Who else looks forward for the moment when Arch finally gets his new Total war: Warhammer with Skaven, plays them and discovers that the Creative Assembly did them horribly wrong?
30 mins about skaven seems lovely.
Just watch your back and everything will be fine.
i doubt it.
Arch, I think you're overthinking this. I have a feeling they just nabbed some random Skaven symbols.
Cabbadath B Maybe these are random scribbles ,but maybe they are hints. Anyway they build up the hype.
they probably are hints for DLC Skaven factions.
Once Ogre Kingdoms and Chaos Dwarfs are added. Clan Rictus will be added, since they reside in the Dark Lands.
The Base Skaven faction, the one that is just named Skaven, is probably going to be led by the Warlord-General. Since he is based in Skavenblight, the Capital of Skavendom.
Clan Mors is popular, and we already have the other 2 factions that fight for Karak Eight Peaks. So them being in-game is a must.
Clan Carrion is weird, they would work more similar to a Beastmen Horde than a regular faction. But maybe CA throws them to give us variety, just like how Savage Orc tribes work a bit different to regular Orc Tribes.
quite possible!
Skaven are not real after all, some made up stories from Middenheim
Grace from CA on the TW FOrums CONFIRMED that the Etchings have no furhter meaning over Easteregg
Clan Skryre, greatest clan! Yes, yess!
We will WIN WIN!
Ben L. You raki wattocks will face the wrath of cousin Okri
@@goggariS prepare the tac-tactical warpstone con-continental missle.
Clan Mors shall unite the Skaven under one banner, and possibly through loyalty and/or respect (a.k.a. Fear and Power)
ITS ABOUT TIME YOU FINALLY GET TO THE REST OF THE CLANS, ARCH!!!
SHEESH!!
I imagine the four primary factions are going to act like the "research" tree for the skaven factions, whether they unlock units, or just increase the capability of certain units.
I wish -Willard- ,,, I mean Arch, would, , , _indulge_ himself and do a lore video on the great horned rat.
with the Skaven clans being more specialized to one thing or another, like clan Eshin and their assassins, it would be cool to see a feature where you wont have access to some units that are exclusive to other clans and you have to "trade" soldiers from other clans.
Haha, a underworld map? That would require work arch, silly silly arch.
Part of me hopes they use the same system they put in for Age of Wonders 3. Like Arch said, an entirely separate map that's only underground. In AoW3 they put specific entrance/exit points on both maps and let you move as you wish. Hell you could even tunnel through the walls with certain units and change the map for ambushes and discovering caverns long lost in time.
skaven has my favourite lore, its just fantastic
In the first two minute alone you have described the skaven and there clans better than any other that I have watched
thoroughly pleased as always. the definitive source for lore and speculation. I am hoping the farsqueeker and warprail are implemented by 3. skryre should be a beast of a faction to say the least(with hell pit being nothing to scoff at) and I sure hope all four major factions are properly represented. I feel eshin shouldn't be a faction(they are, after all, a faction for hire more than any other.
I miss the old music on your lore videos!!
Love Forsberg yes, please bring it back
We all do...
No, not all of us. I don´t miss it.
Yes, it was sooo chill
Yeah, at least for SOME videos.
This episode was quite enjoyable Arch. Thanks for it.
Dear Arch your enthusiasm for the Skaven is contagious you have a new fan of the little furry thing
Short version: Skaven hate each other, but they hate everyone else soooo much more!
Don't forget that Queek talks to the heads he collects, some even reply back (Praising him of course)
You should do more lore videos. Considering that one of your favorite race in Warhammer Fantasy and your eventful dismay of them being day-1 DLC for Total War will be great.
If the choice of icons is not a random decoration but indeed a hint at what clans will be represented we may have a very intersting dynamic - Warlord General Paskrit, tasked by the Council, vs clan Mors which is very much in opposition to said Council, and elite Rictus stormvermin vs rag-tag hordes of clan Carrion.
WOO SKAVEN
Note that in the council of thirteens opposite - lock voting system the group of clans made up here make up one side of a split council, if you assume the seerlord is on their side. With the Seerlord, Mors, Rictus and whatever Paskrits position means they directly balance the four great clans. So I suspect the council is split and the four great clans are doing their own thing while these "loyalist" clans are following the seerlords bidding.
By split council i mean every vote has been blocked by the casters opposite number, leaving only the vote of the horned rat (cast by the seerlord so long as the others accept it).
betting CA will just be lazy and make them a horde army. Probably why Carrion was chosen.
That was I thinking.
Pls no more horde factions!
chazdoit that's where you're wrong, kiddo. Skaven is the definition of horde army.
horde in total war means "with no settlements"
What he means in something like the Beastmen where its a no settlement faction and is just a copy paste of them. Which is why people want to see Morrs or the 4 main clans. By horde you mean mass amounts of Skaven, which is true but not what hes talking about.
What might happen if, for example, Tzeentch conjures an apparition that looks like the horned rat into a council of thirteen and that image of the horned rat then said "I trust you all, my friends."?
Mr Hero Well, they would not believe to be him because he used the word "trust", and probally the horned Rat himself would appear and gnaw on all the tentacles that backstabber mollusc has.
Yeah but it's hilarious to picture the faces of those rats in that moment. Like, what would be the one thing they would never expect ever? xD
next second Tzeentch's avatar gets stabbed by 12 poisoned knives
Ah I knew they sounded like fun as soon as I saw the units they had in ttwwh2. What a fun bunch.
Im guessing the symbols are more a hint of skaven then clans, but even so Pestilence will probably be a lord pack. We have seen in game 1 that rivalry between two lords or factions are what they are going for so what not prophet of sotek vs skrolk and the pestilence
Grace from CA confirmed, that the carvings are only Eastereggs and have now special meanings
He was right queek is hands down the best hero killer in tww2.
I got a bit of a different theory on this, and it involves the locations of the runes on the map. If you look around the runes there is also a darkened background around them, potentially signifying their areas of control. With the badlands and alike around the map, consider that big larger block between the areas of the map that the Skaven clans don't own. Could be a tease of a underworld map and the areas that each individual clan posesses. So Mors at Karak-eight peaks. With Rictus further to the east of them. only thing that doesnt fit with the theory is why is pascrit that far south
Arch Warhammer your videos are more addictive than Columbian uncut coccaine
Arch, i think that every race will start on their own ´´continent´´,lizardmen in lustria, skaven in the southlands, dark elves in nargaroth and high elves in Ulthuan
SKAVEN!!!!
captain rabbit YES-YES!!!
We need at least an hour for skaven
My opinion on this is that they simply put some skaven symbols at random, but are going to add Skaven as one faction or at least just the major clans.
I wanna See Kroq-Gar in Action. the guy has probebly the highest kill count in battle than anny other character, Hell Entire armies and races has been wiped out by him alone.
You've already covered Clan Skryre...they group together because it suits them at the time. | 6:10 - Which resulted in the others laughing at his painful failure. | 12:50 - Nurgle clearly loves that last primary one.
Hey arch. love the videos. keep them coming
great video Arch
"Clan Riktus is elite army" what dose CA give us? "Bonus to ambush and after running away"...
BigBroLittleSis1 lol XD, it’s CA what do you expect XD. that trait fits carrion a lot better. Rictus should have a bunch of stormvermin buffs and cost reduction. Oh wait they put that on clan Morrs who are the richest clan in all of Skavedom, they should have had a bunch of buffs to building cost and money, nope. Haizz, at least we got all of the almost same stuff outta the way. Carrion is skaven horde faction, skyre have bunch of buff for globadiers doomwheels and warpfire thrower and warp lightning cannon, also a unit pack consist of warplock jezzai, rattatatata and stormfiends. Moulder have buff for rat ogres, hell pit abomination with a unit pack consist of rat hounds and stormfiend (most likely CA will put in stormfiends because it seems CA really like Fatshark interpretation of stormfiends in Vermintide 2).
I have been waiting for this!
Perhaps Clan Mors shall be introduced as a DLC for the DLC "The King and the Warlord"?
skaven for the win!
How do skaven clans really work anyway? Are you simply born into them, or is it possible to leave and join?
I supposed that would be the primary way of getting a clan, but is it also impossible to leave or join?
Tobias Hagström or enslaved by them
Tobias Hagström Only under extraordinary circumstances
Like like, much much
*This is interesting but I can't eat dinner while listening to it.*
a 3 way fight for eight peaks beautiful
a cool thing could be u can play these lesser clans and ally to the great clans kinda like marks of chaos and u get availability to that clans tech or units
Good gods above.. Barely three minutes in and the delight in his voice is almost physically manifesting itself. O.o
I want Zootopia with the Skaven in it!
and I want an extra large soda with popcorn for the screening.
I mean i remember how belegar described queek slaughtering his finest warriors in the book, so yeah he should be pretty strong lmao
Played the game. Enjoyed it. Good video nice performance
Long live the horned rat and all praise his prophet Arch.
Clearly the pillar had the high ground against the so called chosen ones.
Mmm. Arch talking about Skaven. Sweet. =w=
Would also love an underground map like in Heroes of Might and magic. Spoke about this a long time ago so good to see you agree here. I think we are hoping in vain though friend. :(
i quite like the Skaven leader of clan Skryer from Mark of Chaos.
The ones who worked for the Chosen of Nurgle/Khorne.
I wouldn't be surprised if Clan Mors replaces the Crooked Moon Mutinous Gits as the occupants of Karak Eight Peaks. Similar to how Clan Angrund replaced Karak Izor.
What a lovely story
My Educated Guess:
Clan Carrion and Paskrit are going to be headed by LL's that either A.) aren't traditionally affiliated with a clan, or B.)Could in theory be lead by a famous Skaven that is known to be hired out to other clans.
For Carrion, I'm thinking Thanquol. As a Grey Seer, he's not part of any clan, and IIRC he has already once gracefully taken over a clan's military after a peculiar set of events have left the clan leaderless.
For Paskritt's banner, maybe Deathmaster Snikch, hired by the Council of Thirteen? Or any famous Great Clan Skaven, as I bet part of the mechanics with the Skaven will involve the four Great Clans, and it's probably something that won't make sense if one of the factions involved is actually one of them.
I'll admit, even though somewhat hate the Skaven, Clan Rictus sounds like the Skaven clan I'd play as the game. Just so long as they have a fairly different roster compared to the other Skaven. If Clan Rictus got a sword and great weapon version of the Stormvermin, then that'd be great.
Also. Arch.
Get on with making videos about the Skaven Clans, and maybe eventually the Savage and Black Orcs!
Chubbyninja Ninja-Brony Clan Mors are my favorite. The only clan that has some sense of loyalty.
Tripp Fields
Really now? I would've thought that'd be Clan Rictus with their more martial ways. And speak of which.
Clan Rictus is my favorite if I had a favorite Skaven clan. A Spartan-ish clan is just what I'm looking for in TW:W. Either them or Clan Eshin.
Tripp Fields
All aboard the rape train!
But that does offer a different play style from the other major clans. And I really really hope that they add in the five or six major clans into the game, that would offer so much replay ability.
Chubbyninja Ninja-Brony yep, definitely. If they make them DLC, like they did chaos, I will rage lol. On a different note, Clan Volkn are a pretty interesting minor clan. Their base is a volcano and they are pyromaniacs who dye their fur red and use Obsidian weapons. I would also hazard to say they are probably good smiths, but that's just speculation on my part. They won't make an appearance, but still cool.
Tripp Fields
That sounds like an awesome clan. Maybe they'd have a cheaper, non warpstone flame thrower they could use.
But I really hope at least the main 6, ha, of the clans can make it in.
30 minutes on a skaven video? im impressed at your restraint although i was kinda hoping for an hour and a half of you just rambling and gushing and recounting the more amusing parts of skaven lore.
Nonsene, no such thing as giant rat men.
What's will tell us next? That the earth is flat?
Did anyone else get the sads when they read about Queek Headtaker getting old in End Times?
Best race needs more videos
U sure that CA really wants to tell us this with the symbols? They might have just used them cause they look cool...
Ohh, and I would absolutely love an entire underworld map... it would be so great...
it good to see arch talk about nothing for 30 min let the hype train roll
I think clan pestilence will be in the game as pre order bonus
Clan Mors greatest clan!
Krevin NO NO SKRYER IS THE GREATEST
fkin nice lore videos again, keep it coming mate
Is there also a book about the clan Mors taking Karak eight peaks? I have ''the rise of the horned rat the, end times'' but there it was allready taken.
maybe gw didnt want to let them play with the big4 clans, so they picked some leftovers to hit lustria with. or maybe they just thought the lil symbols looked nice as decoration and have no bearing on what clans will or will not be present
Hail Skaven Blight!! For the Horned Rat , Yes ! Yes!
Gabee gbyr Dammit Pepe, you are meant to worship Lord Kroak.
Primarch Roboute Guilliman Fuck off papa smurf no one asked for you. I want sanguinius nigga.
mmm my splendid PEPE Army.
So I'm new to Warhammer lore but how cool would a story involving a Dwarf and a Skaven who by circumstance are forced to work together.
Like a clan Skryre lab assistant and a Dwarven seige engineer and they gotta relly on each other and eventually become good "friends"
Until the ratman stabs the beard-thing in the kidneys.
or the beard thing friends discovers it and force him to take the slayer oath or just murders him outright.
"Rough Backstabbings" o.0
do an episode on various legendary warhammer fantasy weapons and their wearers.. runefangs..chaos and orc stuff.. skaven and ogre shinies i bet even beastmen have some pointy sticks with names and fancy atributes.. please?..
So far these Logos have been accurate. We have Clan Mors and Clan Rictus in-game.
Now how will we get the other 2 clans.
Will Clan Carrion introduce Skaven Hordes in the Old World? I would like that, specially since we don't have that much of a Skaven presence in the Old World part of the map.
But the Warlord-General of Skavendom. I mean currently Skavenblight is held by Clan Skryre, another potential DLC/FLC faction. Does this mean we might get some new settlements in the Old World.
I would definitely appreciate the Black Chasm in Bretonnia and the Cursed City of Mordheim on the Empire.
its the rat men with trust issues always good
Do you live next to Gardermoen arch? Seem to know a lot about airport noise :P
"Catch-catch-catch-catch-catch! Hehehehe. Yes-yes! Catch-catch!" This is what the Skaven have done to me: I make Packmaster noises when I'm up to mischief, which is fairly often.
there are three skaven markins on the total war Warhammer 2 logo at the end of the trailer what are those clans? if they even are skaven markins.
As much as i like Queek, he would definitely get his head caved in by the Grimgor
ah so live for skaven is like game of thrones
Arch....could you do a life video about space skaven...we both know they are there...waiting...watching...
New to learning about warhammer... BUT fck me I LOVE this guy :D
What is this music in the end? As ever Arch great Video! Make a episode about life of Telics ad Tyrion!
I like the skaven but don't know too much about them. Has there been any wars against them?
Kinda. Most of Mankind refuse to acknowledge their existence, calling them a bad fairy tale. If a war is long and bloody Skaven might surface to take advantage and collect the carrion, the vanish for decades.
Pretty much every other faction is at constant war with them, even if the factions do not know ;)
The only ones who really fight against them in directed campaigns are the dwarves (who want their settlements back) and Night Goblins (who want the stuff and settlements of the Skaven). Most other races just react if they are attacked by them but in most cases (unless its a Kharak) Skaven just loot and disappear after a fight. Thats one of the reasons why the Skaven are seen as myth in the Empire. Often the Beastmen are credited for a Skaven raid.
Cold Flame tilea is aggressive twoards them constantly cleaning the sewers out
Grimgor likes to eat them...
Rat men lore YES YES arch God GOOD GREAT
So if one wanted to play with skaven models in 40k, they'd be what chaos beast men?
i think the markings were just trying to be vaguely skaven-y, not really focused on saying some clans are gonna be in the game or not
who want to name our warlord skaven name number one:master splinter
