Poxigors canonically existed, in Deathmaster Snikch's lore he was tasked with killing all of the Poxigors (they were referred to as something like "Rat Ogres hybridized with Crocodiles") and the leaders of the minor Skaven clan who made them, which he did, because he's Deathmaster Snikch.
So this is basically the 'Wolfenstein' for Skaven mods. 'What if all the crazy ideas they ever had somehow all worked and they became capable of conquering the world.' (Easier than in canon, that is.) Units look great. Is it balanced? Not even close. Does it look fun? Hell yeah.
I feel like the Ratxigors are likely rats who had their brains implanted into a croxigor body/head. Which is also likely why they often have warpstone implanted on the end of their maws so as to help in some way. Something about it makes me think it has something to do with Clan Moldur.

- Skaven clans - Heroes of skaven clans - Skaven elite units - Ghoritch for all - Moulder's menagerie - Ikit workshop upgrade - Skryre's Skatterclaw - GHS - Warpstone unleashed 2 Plus Esoterica and recruit defeated lords = ultimate skaven goodness. Other hero and lord mods on top as well for extra good times
Kill squad is a superb unit: deletes enemy dismounted personalities like Lokhir even not high ranked melee monsters lika Archaon and Sigvald, very effective attacking melee anti-hero unit
Hello, is this Skavenblight R&D department? Yes, I'd like to order one War Crime package consisting of Imperial Hellstorms loaded with Skaven Doomrockets. Yes, Extra warp-spicy. Thank you.
Most of these are pretty stupid, though the crackback squad and bubonic riders would fit right in to the current roster. The doom walker feels like it would be better as an exclusive mount for Ikit.
I will, I have a couple of mod highlights on the channel already. I used to do them more often though, and I plan on starting to make them more often again because they are fun to make. Glad you like it. :)
Their inventions is very 40k ork, but I think the skaven themselves are more like the Imperium of man. So I guess they are the Imperium if they used Ork tech.
Unfortunately one thing it also seems to do is bump Gutter Runners (poison) from their recruitable building.. the slinger unit is still there but the regular one in it's poison variant is gone. I'm guessing something to do with the Krakback Kill Squads or Warp Runners. Makes them absolutely impossible to recruit if the mod is enabled :\
I find it hilarious that they look like under-cover Kroxigors so I like it. But claws of Ikit is probably my least favorite too, they just don't look as skaven as the rest.
I've never heard of most of these before, but I'm not the biggest lore guy. Apparently some of them have been mentioned, but some of them might have been invented by the modder.
I'm subscribing this mod and... nothing is happening. I don't see new units in campaign and in battles. Are there some other mods needed to properly use this mod?
Doomwalkers are my favorite replacements of Doomwheel, Ratling Gunners and Warp Cannon. Really wish I can upgrade them in Ikit's workshop and the update ratling cannon animation as the barrels are not rotate when firing.
Unfortunately, this released halfway through my skaven campaign. It was just so cool I had to make a video about it. Next episode is gonna be pretty much the opposite with the dwarf-things.
@@lazygrouse I should tell you that there is also cyborg skaven mod witch honestly I am surprised its not part of this mod but just so if you are interested
You would probably need a submod for it. But there are a lot of people making SFO submods for unit packs, so check the workshop and see if you can find one.
@@gastor4951 The link might be outdated by now considering the video is many months old. So I think the safest bet is to go to the workshop and just search for skaven esoterica.
It should be multiplayer compatible it only adds units and does not mess with core aspects of the game. Only thing would be in the way would be a mod conflict

Haha, that's neat. It was the one I was least convinced was actually in the lore.
@@lazygrouseskaven rule of thumb, the more utterly ridiculous and counterintuitive something skaven related is, the more likely it is to be true.
so they arent just kroxigors that they gaslit into thinking they were rats.
im sad now.
Man, I was over here thinking the Poxigors were taking cues from me or the Deffwotch
And then throt stole a corpse and remade them
I’m so bummed out Toro left the modding community. I’m happy his work still continues.
I didn't realize it was him who made it originally until after I made the video. It's too bad he stopped, he did good stuff.
i'm sure they're off somewhere being equally awesome doing whatever it is they do, even if that means we won't get to enjoy their works.

Pretty much. Sometimes you just have to embrace the fun even though it's incredibly overpowered.
Hey toro here thank you for making this it was really fun to watch this 😁I know its been while but i hope you guys are still enjoying this one
@@toro-qz1cc You're very welcome! It's one of the coolest units mod. The Walkers and the bombers are awesome!
The Doom Walkers look absolutely impressive.

I can tell that you know how to Skaven. I can appreciate a man of culture.
If you get the mod that lets your skaven fire into friendlies, it makes them even more lore accurate
Amazing work from the modder. Looks stunning!!!
enemys : what are those magical flying contraptions ?????????
skaven : in the grim dark future there is only ..... WAR!!!
Great video, love the showcasemof these cool units! Thanks for bringing attention to it
I main skaven for total war and this is a dream come true. Its a mega skaven pack!!!
Holy crap some of these are crazy, thanks for showcasing this.
Kill squad is a superb unit: deletes enemy dismounted personalities like Lokhir even not high ranked melee monsters lika Archaon and Sigvald, very effective attacking melee anti-hero unit
this + moulder menagerie is a sight to behold
I probably need to make a mod overview on that one too. I saw it a while back but I kinda forgot it existed.
i think you should, hell maybe even the custom steamtanks as they have a skaven variant along with all the weird ones the empire gets
Who need accuracy when you have a whole army of rattling cannon doom walkers
Hello, is this Skavenblight R&D department?
Yes, I'd like to order one War Crime package consisting of Imperial Hellstorms loaded with Skaven Doomrockets. Yes, Extra warp-spicy. Thank you.
The only addition I wish this mod had would be adding some of the mod units to the garrisons.
Am I the only one who read the very first unit as "crackhead squad" and thought it completely normal for the Skaven?
I read that first as well. It's a perfectly normal name for Skaven. They are essentially all high on radioactive crack.
I'd make the big artillery piece tanks launch multiple small doomrockets.
Most of these are pretty stupid, though the crackback squad and bubonic riders would fit right in to the current roster. The doom walker feels like it would be better as an exclusive mount for Ikit.
Please show off more mods this was awesome 😀
I will, I have a couple of mod highlights on the channel already. I used to do them more often though, and I plan on starting to make them more often again because they are fun to make.

I swear Skaven are the fantasy version of Orks. Both have tech that have no business working and yet it still does.
Their inventions is very 40k ork, but I think the skaven themselves are more like the Imperium of man. So I guess they are the Imperium if they used Ork tech.
@@lazygrouseSkaven Stormfiend are basically rat space marines.
"B-Brother-Kin! I am pin-pin here!"
More skaven units means more warcrimes.
Haha, that's true.

Honestly wish they made the poxigors more rat ogre Frankenstein like and removed the claws of ikit I would love this so much more
I find it hilarious that they look like under-cover Kroxigors so I like it. But claws of Ikit is probably my least favorite too, they just don't look as skaven as the rest.
@@lazygrouse the undercover kroxigors are funny
I just clicked on this video because I thought it said "Skaven erotica." Imagine my disappointment.
Haha, I think there is an infamous subreddit for that. :P
What do you mean it's not erotic? Doesn't committing war crimes with zeppelins and spider tanks make you feel hot?
@@ZetsubouGintama Haha, fair enough. I guess I shouldn't judge someone for being Skavensexual.
Are these units really exist in the backstory? I know at the end time skaven combine rat orger and weapon team and that is crazy😮
I've never heard of most of these before, but I'm not the biggest lore guy. Apparently some of them have been mentioned, but some of them might have been invented by the modder.
Poxigors and Riders yes. The rest of em i dunno
Skavens did used a bunch of gyrocopters. I don't remember which lore books it was, probably in Gotrek & Felix.
@@burricat9615 Stolen i assume?
Unita that should be in the base game but money grubbers from ca have plans haha
Fun > Balance

Yeah, the doomwalkers are pretty damn awesome. I think the bomber is my favorite though.
It doesnt work for me, the game crash every time this mod is on and I try to start a game as Skaven
Weird, works fine for me. Do you have any other mods installed that could interfere with each other?
Are you from Sweden? It sounds like it.
I am indeed.
@@lazygrouse Vad roligt
@@THEGAMERUMBLER :)

Yes! Hoping it comes to WH3 soon. It was such a fun mod in WH2.
maybe 🤭
Is thisa prewiev of what the next campaing will be about ?
I hope so

@@ondrastonis2944 I gotta check that out. I can't believe I've missed that.
That sounds awesome, I’d love a short campaign featuring these mods
Mods really cool and units are sweet! BUT units are super op. Not for a serious play through
Is this sfo compatible?
You would probably need a submod for it. But there are a lot of people making SFO submods for unit packs, so check the workshop and see if you can find one.
hey, is it multiplayer compatible?
Don't know. But I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Thx i’ll try it out)
should i download the one in the link or the 5. something?

Doomwalkers are definitely my favorites here but you could see the animation at 2:43 and it kinda ruin the immersion for me lol
sadly i worked it over and over but that animation always plays even when completely removed from the animation set 😂 some things just cant be fixed
It most likely will all be hid behind a paywall where im expected to pay 35 € or smth for 2 units and a Commander
We all hate skaven, but we love hating skaven... they are just so perfectly horrible.
