Yo sorry if Ricky at the beginning made some people uncomfortable but i think he’s great and that video was too perfect not to add. On another note the views on this vid have been insane thanks my dudes :^)
Skaven are chaos creatures, they just despise chaos (like everything else). Skavenblight is just the sunken ruins of the original ancient city that birthed our favorite accursed ratlads. They know if they shacked up with Chaos proper they’d be in a similar situation as they are now but with less deniability and anarchy to hide behind. Better they bide their time, playing everyone against each other then swarm over all sides in their weakness. Plus the Horned Rat doesn’t like sharing.
Part of it has to do with the nature of Dhar (all the colors of magic crushed together then using sheer willpower bludgeoning it into existence hopefully without it blowing up in your face as collateral damage). Necromancy and Chaos magic are both dhar although one is “trapped/earthly” dhar (necro) while the other is “free-flowing” dhar (chaos). Vampires ‘naturally’ attract dhar given their static forms, undeath being the opposite of chaos as chaos seeks to flow over everything and force it to change often in violent and careless manner vs necromantic forms which take the naturally agitated energies and seal it up, keeping it from returning to the realms of Chaos. A whirlwind of madness vs stasis. Elves are strong enough to wield dhar by effectively personally crushing the winds into dhar but it’s foolish, when why druchii are fond of it: quick, dirty, powerful. Humans are drawn to it because it offers power and a chance to take their comparatively short lifespans into their own hands. Humans have the unique position of being capable of molding the winds without needing a warhammer deity to filter it yet don’t have the wills, minds, and bodies to “safely” wield more than one wind without mutating horribly/going insane/exploding. There are mutated/chaos versions of most races (elves, halflings, lizardmen) being the exception. Undead don’t really become chaotic because of the free vs stagnant dhar issue. Vampiric Skaven could happen although it would be mostly something the ratman would want, probably not the vampire (a race already known for cowardice and backstabbing given more power and thrown into your backstabbing courts of unlife? Hmm). Plus who would want to willing bite a skaven? Then all the skaven vamp needs to do is hide from the Horned Rat and the Grey Seers after being branded a heretic which to a normal rat, is certain death (although an undead renegade...). Necromancy and vampirism really only holds interest to the magically inclined races (which are few) and those with rather short lifespans, so pretty much skaven and humans. And enough chaos energy or warpstone will mutate/corrupt/kill anything not from the realms of Chaos or the Old Ones. Humans are just numerous enough, willful enough, and independent enough to have significant numbers in both.
Yeah, that came out of nowhere. The guy is great at using his unique features as comedy, but the content he makes are really uncomfortable for some people like me.
@@heitorpedrodegodoi5646 i don't think they could stop the rats from wiping out whatever ground unit they have, and i think if you kill all the ground units the air units all break and flee
If you didn't know the enemies army comp it would be very difficult to counter it, "just take a doomstack theat counters it" isn't possible if you don't know what you're countering.
I was watching you get the surround on the Empire during that siege and I couldn't help but blurt out, "That looks fun". Thank you for inspiring my next campaign.
I fondly remember drowning hoards of peasants with war dogs in Rome Total War, admiring the greytide biting away at the ankles of dudes with sandals and knives. This brings back all those memories.
"I wonder how many they'll send. We've got so much firepower in here, this fortress is emperor shielded, they can't take this fort, it'll probably be 1000 skaven they'll need at least that many, at least that many, maybe even 5000 skaven. They'll never take this base with less, they'll need an army of skaven!" 'sir' "what is it?! Skaven?!" 'I think so' "how many! a 5000?!' 'no' "1000?" 'less' " 800? C'mon how many?" '20' "WHAT?!"
When you summon it, then have the wolf rats surround them it reminds me of A Plague Tale: Innocence for whoever has played that game. It's absolutely terrifying.
You always have a great choice of music, the katamari OST is such a gift to the world. Also, youtube compression completely obliterated the video quality on this one lmao.
Honestly i think Ricky was perfect at the beginning, truly believe he makes so many clips and a large variety so they can be enjoyed by many people. Awesome video Okoii, keep it up.
You know it's coming Okoii... Dread Saurian doomstack. 19 saurians and either a pissed off legendary crocodile to buff, a life slann to heal, or a carnie lord to assist
My fav skaven army is grey seer, a couple poisoned wind globadiers, and a bunch of slaves. Super cheap and the slaves slow down the enemies long enough to die to poison

Ricky is a beautiful boi who just needs love.
haha nope, it fit perfect, and ricky is awesome
oh it's uncomfortable alright but it's not that big of a deal - still: never again pls :)
He fits perfectly imho. Like, the guy could probably play a Skaven character himself with all that energy.
It scared the shit out of me for some reason
"Sir, enemies are approaching!"
"How many, soldier?"
"Just 20 it seems."
Suddenly 4000 wolfrats
"We are doomed..."
20 good men...

Some empire peasant: Why is everyone so afraid of The Vermintide? It can’t be that bad
The Vermintide:
"It's just a bunch of rats, isn't it? That's adorable, I love rats!

The vermintide doesn't exist. There are no ratmen in the sewers.

@@gideonmele1556 Also The Great Horned Rat is a chaos god themself with the verminlords being their daemons.
2:01
Should have been, "If she breed, she's a Throt!"
and then a 3rd skaven named "Aaaaaah!"
i was thinking the same tbh.
Empire: "Give it up, we have you surrounded!"
Pack masters: "no u"
Uff Katamari, the flashbacks are real...
I was NOT expecting to hear my boy Griffin in this lmao
That intro scarred me for life
Yeah, that came out of nowhere. The guy is great at using his unique features as comedy, but the content he makes are really uncomfortable for some people like me.
What is the original source for that? It's bizarre.
@Okoii never again pls :)
@@alexfromsolitude wait... That was original content? That was Okoii himself on camera? I assumed it had to be some sort of meme I wasn't aware of...
@@caret_shell no he is Ricky Berwick, a disabled youtuber. He like to make weird video using his condition.
0:51 "Captain, why's it look like that field's movin'?"
This is stronger than I anticipated.
Imagine playing against that in MP.
Hawk riders doomstack is the perfect counter.

The Katamari Damacy song was such a fantastic pick for this
On all levels except the physical I am a wolf
-Throt the unclean
This better not awaken anything in me.
When you summons so many units that the Unit Cards turn into Unit Slips.
I was waiting for this one. My god was it amazing. You basically summon a whole army.

“Mufasa! Quick! Stampede! In the Gorge. Simba’s doesn’t there!”
honestly these are the best commercials for me to want to play the new dlcs...damn it okoii does it again
The naming has to be my favorite thing about this series.
This channel has turned hero spam into an art form.
this is by far the most impressive thing ive seen in warhammer
This is the best one so far yet. And the addition of that Ricky was just delictable
I fondly remember drowning hoards of peasants with war dogs in Rome Total War, admiring the greytide biting away at the ankles of dudes with sandals and knives. This brings back all those memories.
+1
I blame this series for the increased hero upkeep. Someone at CA must be a fan of these.
2:27 perfect clip when talking about giant man-rats that may or may not exist under every human city
The beggining had me positively horrified.
That intro nearly gave me a heart attack.
I've found the memelord of the TWWH community, and I am happy. Nice touch with the Katamari music.
black death in a nutshell

'sir'
"what is it?! Skaven?!"
'I think so'
"how many! a 5000?!'
'no'
"1000?"
'less'
" 800? C'mon how many?"
'20'
"WHAT?!"
1:27 I'm scared,imagine there are only 20 rats with their hounds or something came from behind, there's just no where to run
0:00 I fear no man but that thing scares me
No Jerma's "We're Rats"/10 Fr good shit dude, you're a blessing to the community!
2:50 no matter what comes through that gate you will stand your ground!

I personally find him annoying as fuck.
I love how your joke names are able to encapsulate all potential jokes that can be made about a specific unit.
You know, if skrolk dies the chieftans practically become unbreakable
Best one yet, intro had me fucking wheezing
Mass wolf rat summon: “Zerg rush, kekekek”
Man you make the best videos my dude straight up
"Cocaine Jerry" Outstanding.
this is one of the funniest ngl
I'm not surrounded! YOU'RE SURROUNDED!!
"Sir there are 20 creatures approaching"
"Subscribe now-now or we throw you in vat, yes yes!"
The scenes with that scream always make laugh out loud. I cant exolain why but I just find them funny as hell😁
Idea.
Clan Mors.
20 Chieftains.
Everyone do their explosion at the same time.
It’s even better when the wolf rats and brood horrid get that bonus vs infantry tech XD
Your hero naming game is on point
Great Mouse Detective Shout out. Underrated classic
I can already feel okoii being tortured when the Packmasters level up.
Throt and his funky 20(00) friends
This is everything I ever wanted from Skaven.
Packmasters knocking on the gates. Let them in? Yes yes
Well that’s terrifying.
Ah, nothing better than a good old Vermintide.
Nice of Legend to do that little intro for your vid,

I don`t know why, but "Boundary Issues" is such a great name for a packmaster xD
I pause the vid when the names comes up and go over it slowly, its just too good
Nice to see legend of the total war staring in the video at the beginning. So that's what he looks like.
Beginning was lightspeed to lightspeed fueled by WARPSTONE YES! YES!

Very nice, yes-yes.
Now hear me out. 20 packmasters, but with ikit 🤔
I think this is my favourite of all your videos.

You know Vermintide? This is the Vermintide
1:25 *You've alerted the horde*
The... the wolf rats.. are now zerglings
20 mournghul haunters
