The imperium is literally lead by the 13th primarch i am shocked people are in denial of this
Now I need some skaven to venerate Guilliman as an avatar of the great horned rat, much to his confusion

PERFECT.
@@wingedhussar8552 and the Great Horned Rat's anger.
@@EungsuLee You can even have the Custodes as the stormvermins and your average guardsmen as the clanrats. Truly perfect.
Don’t care, want rat
I desperately want a short story about the Skaven opening up a portal to an Imperial Hive City where they have to fight against Gene Stealers and Imperials. Then get wiped from existence either through their own incompetence or the Great Horned Rat physically pulls them back into the Mortal Realms because he can't accept his children not being under his control in another universe.
Or they bring the great horned rat with them and make the far future a lot more interesting
@@jamesmckenna4460 The Great Horned Rat getting a Loss would be, by far, the most interesting thing to do with him.
@@jamesmckenna4460that sounds more likely. It is either that or the planet blows up due to the sheer concentrated manipulative vice, and the rats still live.
Yes please what a fun one off short story this could be 😭 skaven vs genestealers fighting over a hive city that gets the inquisition treatment in the end lol
I would go the other way: the Great Horned Rat is strong in AoS, but has no worshipers in 40K like the other Chaos Gods. So sends Skaven through the portal to give him a foothold in that galaxy.
What follows is a massive war in the hive, where the Imperium is faced with its furry counterparts on a one-to-one basis. The Imperium wins, despite incompetence, backstabbing, and internecine conflict (on both sides). But in true Imperium fashion, they fail to learn anything from the experience. Plus, some Skaven stow away on their ships, ensuring the rat-men will spread throughout the galaxy.
There was a 40k novel where one of the main characters was talking about a joking theory that rats have spread so far and so ubiquitously on human worlds that the Imperium is intact just a vehicle for rats to Conquer the stars, if that's not a set up for space skaven, mutant 'intelligent' rats hiding under the Imperium then I dont know what is
I am pretty sure that is one of the gaunt ghosts novels
Dan Abnett always has the best ideas, wonder who came up with the necron pylons on cadia? It was Abnett.
anyways I remember in the same book and in others it was mentioned that earths rats often mutate and cross breed with local lifeforms creating monsters. It would be absolutely fitting if in some underhive rats evolved to skaven and started building their underempite across the stars due to how ships work their lower decks also are perfect hiding spaces for scum and due to mutations being rampant at these locations nobody would bat an eye.
A year ago or so the liber. xenos was released an in canon xenos study book. And on the hrud it was theorized that there have been two species independently been described as the hrud due to similar behavior. And I remember rat like xenos being mentioned being on the black star fortress too
It could just be a nod.
@@sergeantsharkseant The Hrud were on first mention just space skaven.
Then GW decided they didn't want to turn 40K into Fantasy but in space and the Hrud were rettconned to be the gangly time warping fellas we know today.
What you describe is just a cheeky reference from an author to early 40K. The equivalent of someone making an off hand comment about Inquisitor Obi-Wan Sherlock Clouseau.
It's a wink to the old timey audience, nothing more.
"This is a World of Warcraft game" no the fuck it isn't TH-cam, thank you for that
Eh, close enough.
Blizzard are rats though to be fair
Why don't you World of Warcraft some bi-*I am instantly vaporized*
It is, wake up bro...
Then why do you show and talk of Captain Picard ?
The Sisters of Clan Pestilens connection gets even stronger once you realize that both became integrated into their respective societies as a whole only after a massive civil war that resulted in their leaders having private audiences with the heads of state of the opposing faction, and said interaction resulting in a poor sop’s death & replacement by a new leader.
We need Space Skaven because I want to see a faction with tech as powerful and advanced as Necrons, while being even less stable and reliable than anything made by the Orks
I would absolutely love this
Agreed
@@pinkythemighty What do you mean "it wouldn't be lore friendly". When man was barely discovering flintlocks the skaven were experimenting with warp artillery and frankensteins monsters proving great technical aptitude for the rats. Humanities tech was not just dropped in a day but developed over millennia and skaven tech would have developed in parallel. Even if humanity did start out advancing the rats they would just copy the human tech and adapt it to their own needs, like what happened during the world wars. If you are talking about the DaoT then humanity was not genocidal during that time. Just like dark age humanity did NOT wipe out the orks(species who literally lives just to plunder and kill in a war) they would not have genocide the skaven but probably keep them contained to their own skaven star systems in a form of space quarantine. So the only canonical time humanity could have massively out tech the skaven was the time they would just contain them to a small set of space. And if you mean the interpretation of "skaven were on a primitive planet then suddenly lol imperium colonizes it" the existence of gene stealer cults proves the imperiums "tech" to locate much of anything is long in the past.
TLDR: People who most confidently state that something is against the lore think the least about it.
@@pinkythemightyso did you not read anything they just said (type whatever you want to call it) or what?
@@pinkythemightystop being asinine, the skaven had better tech development in the same amount of time as empire, they easily could have had tech on par with golden age humanity, they wouldn't be the only faction that did
I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks this.
From infighting, to mad scientists, thinking their superior to every other from of life and a few other small things; the Skaven snd Imperium couldn't be more alike no matter how much some may deny it.
Endless bodies to chuck at their enemies, somehow shittier to themselves than they are towards everyone else the list just goes on and on
@@gotmilk5899 Indeed!
And yet no DOOMWHEELS
Checkmate ratto
Not to mention their super roided monsters whether be it lobotomized criminals to space marines
@@aprinnyonbreak1290Can't argue with that
I adore the idea of Skaven being in 40K. Imagine a Imperium exploration fleet finding a world populated with a nigh uncountable number of rat like xenos, and thinking its their homeworld they attack, only for it to be a minor colony of the Skaven Void Empire. So now the Imperium finds themselves in a new war with a species that is just as militaristic, vile and numerous as them.
Maybe they were the Rangan
Give them horde fleets made up of scavenged ships barely put together better than ork ones and flagships made of space hulks that they’ve actually managed to clear out.
@@WASDLeftClick Maybe they could also be industrial revolution themed, seeing as the time was filled with rats, disease, and horrible working conditions despite the huge boom in progress.
damn never new anything about the rangan but they really have many similarities with the skaven from warhammer fantasy@@andressotil4671
It's kinda fun to think about how they would've spread over multiple worlds to begin with. Maybe one day some other species landed on their planet, got swarmed and they found a way to use the ships of the invadors just long enough to get to another planet - maybe like 80% of those ships just crash and kill all skaven on board, but the remaining ones are enough to flood the new world with skaven in no time. And maybe from that day one they actually try to build their own spaceships and it's just the kind of try-and-error they do with everything. An endless line of wannabe engineers throwing together thrusters and metal hulls, cramming a bunch of skaven including 1-2 breeding mothers into it and sending it into space - if those piles of junks even manage to start without just blowing up. And once they are on multiple planets spread over the galaxy, they may also further colonize by just doing it like the first time: getting invaded by some fools just to swarm them and kill them all and send those spaceships right back to their origin coordinates filled with skaven.
WAIT WHAT THE HELL?!? I thought the "Space Skaven = Imperium" thing was a joke soley based on "There's a lot of rats and a lot of humans basically living like rats". I never put all these things together
My favorite parallel between the two is that their most abundant expendable resource is their own constituents, whom are used en masse to defend their own constituents. Never gets old.
finally, a take on 40k that we can all agree on.
now I wish the empire had wraithscreamers, psyquers that scream to create warpstone, wich is like a worse version of wraitbone.
Don't forget the doomwheel
@@UltraVioletKnightspinny wheel kill man-thing! Yes-yes.
All this time... All this time we've wondered where the funny rat-men were... We didn't even stop to check under our noses!
The 40K equivalent of halflings are even called ratlings, in some versions of the models I think they even have tails.
@@Draxynnic (Pulls off sunglasses) Mother of god...
classic Skaven
You mean check in a mirror.
@@roland228 ...Alright, fair-fair!
Pancreas, it's GW. They have goofed up before but when your brand is defined by it's scope and complexity, there's no way they missed the similarities to Skaven. Hell, it's probably a meta grimdark theme to make the Imperium look even worse. I'm all for it
Yes I've realized this as well. Eldars feel more human than the humans of the Imperium because the later feel more like rats while Eldars still have those Tolkein Elves characteristics.
Possibly more accurately, the Asuryani still place value on the lives of their citizens. So from the modern human perspective, they're a much more functional society.
Yes.
Yeah the Eldar I feel are more like posthumans than the humans in 40k. With all human qualities separating us from apes refined. Greater dexterity, longevity, larger capacity for symbolic and abstract thought and complex social behaviours. With some similarities to the posthumans of Dune. The Bene Gesserit for example. The idea of humanity developing into some kind of hyperintelligent, decadent and sensuous species addicted to constant stimulation like the Dark Eldar also feels somewhat more relatable.
@@adrianaslund8605 There is a degree to which the Eldar could be seen as a point to which 40k humans might evolve to if given the opportunity and if the warp was calmer and less destructive - longer lives, greater intelligence, greater psychic sensitivity, and a more developed sense of art.
Elves in Space 😂 probably why I am more inclined to Orc, or Ork because it is so different 🫡
They hated him because he spoke the truth
That is a Horus Heresy level take.
But he's got a point
How could anyone trust the guy? I mean his last name was literally Heresy
So did Horus.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying how dare you?!
This recontextualizes the Great Crusade as the 40k galaxy's Vermintide
The Emperor is the Great Horned Rat. It all makes perfect sense.
Honestly I never really thought about it And at first I thought it was just some weird funny hot take but then I started thinking about it and I'm coming to the realization that that makes a weird amount of sense. I mean the imperium certainly is nothing like the empire from fantasy battle aside from the most loosest sense possible. God it's like the empire and the skaven had a baby and the result was the imperium of Man. At least that's what my thoughts are before I even watch the video
I mean
They're also the Lizardmen.
Space Marines are Saurus, bioengineered super soldiers with little ability outside of war.
The Imperium has massive piles of technology they don't use, because the ones who know how are dead or missing.
They have a giant, psychically powerful toad mummy on a portapotty preventing everything from exploding.
Their leadership is stupidly overpowered, but eternally absent.
They are weirdly omnicidal despite ostensibly being the "good guys" and definitely fighting the bad guys.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 HAHAHA 🤣 Oh my god you are right You actually have a point there. They are the God forsaken love child of the empire, skaven and f****** lizard men!!!🤣
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 the imperium is a mix between the mortal kingdoms of the old world quite simply... from Bretonnia to Katey concerning the Skaven in the idea they are closer to the Necrons and the Tyranids in many aspects at least from what I know old world lore...
Yes finally! Someone else seeshumanity as the ratmen we we are.
Yes-yes
Yes inquisitor, this mo-moron right here.
human do share 90% DNA with rat so is not really that far off.
I am still at awe at the amazing pun that is a ratling gun (which likely goes rat-a-rat-a-rat-a when it shoots to boot.) I can only dream of one day cracking such a good one myself.
I can only imagine just how hard Colin was laughing at the idea of just how many people he would upset with the video title
12:19 the Skaven actually do have a Titan-equivalent in AoS called a Parasite Engine.
Parasite Engines (named for their rapacious plunder of the realms) are basically giant, walking cities created by the Clans Skryre from the underground semi-liquid warpstone to conquer and corrupt the Scabrous Sprawl while keeping them safe from the Gargants. They follow geomantic lines to extract nodes of Warpstone and other subterranean riches leaving behind underground factories and glowing craters, the land tainted and writhing in ruin at their passing.
Each Parasite Engine is a many-legged, segmented abominations powered by enormous warpstone furnaces fuelled by miner-claws and deforestation maws. The chief Warlock Engineers of each of these machines compete with their rivals by creating bigger and more powerful designs. Each has unique feature, with the likes of the Drill-Stabber being a mix of rat and mosquito while others like the Scrabble-Chewer was a city made to crunch through bedrock.
Ok u just sold me on a model that doesn‘t exist, good job mate 😂
Yes. With a seasoning of "The Empire of Man" and "The undead hordes of Nagash"
Love that this video cane out around the same time i started gluing spare skaven heads to guardsmen bodies, really good timing there!
Mechanicus making servitors is just clan moulder tbh
If you want to play as Skaven in the 40k tabletop, you could probably do it just fine if you use GSC rules and Skaven models.
Or the Veer-Myn from Warpath.
I'll have to keep this in mind as a means of simultaneously trolling the imperium superfanatics and the skaven superfanatics.
You can't offend a skaven lover, everything awful about them is what people love.
@@axios4702 Oh, believe me, I've come across some that seemed to have rather thin skins indeed. There's a reason I said "superfanatics" and not just "fans" - there's a lot to like about both (as long as you're not planning to emulate them...), but some people are just obnoxious about it, and I was trying to emphasise that I was only thinking about those who really take it to extremes.
(I know that the word "fan" derives from "fanatic", but they still have very different connotations now.)
Good those folks don’t deserve to be happy
I love that the skaven phone is called "farsqueaker"
you know I heard about a race rat creatures similar to the skaven on a planet somewhere in the galaxy of 40k that was deemed not worth it to inhabit. So if I can make a theory it would be like the Tau a warp storm could hit the planet and somehow those rats become the Skaven. Though that if the bugs don't try to eat them first and if they can survive a warp storm in the first place.
2:01 you know, when you think about it, hamsters fit the bill for Skaven more than rats.
*1.* Hamsters rarely die normally of old age, instead usually dying in some gruesome and disturbingly creative way.
*2.* Hamsters are well known to cannibalize their own kind (usually a mother with her offspring) when even mildly stressed out.
*3.* Related to #2, if fed a corn-based diet, hamsters become far more cannibalistic. Likewise, a Skaven's main source of food is _black corn._
*4* Hamsters of the genus Mesocricetus (such as Syrian hamsters) specifically have one of the shortest have the shortest gestation periods in any known placental mammal or rodent, at around 16 just days.
*5.* The Doomwheel and the Doom Flayers are basically a giant hamster wheels mixed with hamster balls.
*6.* In the series "Overlord", there's a giant magical beast called The Wise King of the Forest/Hamsuke that looks like a Djungarian hamster (also known as a Winter white dwarf hamster), who has a speech pattern as strange as the Skaven's.
*7.* The Harmsters from the Hamster's Paradise spec evo project are a very primitive version of the Skaven.
*8.* You cannot convince me that hamsters wouldn’t be addicted to crack if they understood what it was.
Hell, when I make my Skaven army, I might just cut the tails off of them and say that they’re hamster people rather than rat people.
No no folks. Let him cook.
"You are now thinking of a Skaven Sister of Battle."
Well, I just learned something new and deeply concerning about myself.
your age of empires and age of mythology bgm really sets the tone. awesome work dude
The greyknight babycarrier is indeed something a Skaven would make.
Imagine!
Staring down upon the puny man-things as you stride proudly into battle!
Peering down victoriously from above in your Doom-Throne!
I thought we knew this already
The title just feels wrong to read, but is surprisingly very accurate.
I keep telling my Fantasy friends that we have skaven in 40k....they are just alot more pink skinned.
Imagine if they put these guys in 40k and they were an actually functioning empire, perhaps new and untested like the tau but still. it would be funny if the space skaven were more functional and competent than the imperium
Damn, it is almost as if both the Imperium and the Skaven are made up of derived tropes on the worst aspects of real life humanity.
Don't need to imagine Skaven sisters of battle... the things I have seen... and approve of.
@Pancreasnowork The Scaven titans/knights are the rat ogres. Not just in size but also in that knights absorb the consciousness of their former pilots and ogres are amalgamations too.
What do you think the Tyranids are fleeing from? A planet sized hamsterwheel of doom made out of pure warpstone powered by a miriad of Skaven, randomly vaporising galaxies for the lulz.
Actually the Skaven were name dropped at an old Codex (they were used as an example of xenos that use poison weapons).
Later in a Kill Team Novel, those Rat Men (or Hrud ) were spotted among other Tau auxiliaries and were described by an Inquisitor as a species of SKAVENgers that are wide spread in the entire galaxy and live in underground cities and are considered as Vermin.
So a case can be made that Skaven do exist in 40K and were just mistaken for Hrud because some random Inquisitor or Rogue Trader mixed their notes
Everyone just pretends they don't exist as per usual
Tbh, I do want space skaven in 40k. I know the way to do it to. When we eventually get a dark mechanicum army their basic line troops could be some very suspiciously ratty soldiers.
“Picture a skaven Sororitas” *imagines the mutant magic rat version of a termite queen, only ten feet long and weighing one ton, blindly rolling and writhing across the battlefield, spraying milk and baby rats everywhere
I think Skaven might be able to survive, especially if they come into contact with a minor Ork group first. They have spacecraft, repeating firearms, energy weapons, genetic modification, psykers, and even atomic weapons.
And now for something completely different: the Skaven have invaded 40K in retaliation for how Half-Life 3 still hasn't been released by the time of the 42nd millennium.
I suddenly wonder what a war between the Imperium and the Skaven would look like? More like Orks? Or would it be like Imperium vs. Chaos Militia?
The first sisters of battle back when they served vandire that went to meet with the emperor came out with stark white hair. Just like how the council guard of the Scaven went and saw something so horrifying it turned their hair white and made them actually loyal. Coinkidink?
Y'know what's hillarious?
The rogue traders are the 40k empire. They're basically feudal, super fashionable, and the most technologically advanced human force in the setting.
Also, the knights are 40k brettonia (feudal stereotypes up to eleven), the chaos titans are 40k chaos dwarfs (cagey evil industrialists), and the gangs of necromunda are the 40k vampire counts (petty squabbling undead/mutant abominations).
i like that you vihimently forgot to mention
That imperium canonically calls midgets "Ratlings"
That both factions are cannibals (mmm, corpse starch go yum)
both of them RELY on warp fuckery
And that Their Mages are all reliably insane and or high
Ah yes, the old “breeding stump” trope. Wonder if *someone* read Hellstrom’s Hive at some point before making that lore.
There are definitely parallels, in no small part because both pull on the Funny Moustache Man as inspiration, but I feel like the vibe of the two is very different. If we're talking about pure lore parallels, Cathay is very obviously the Imperium, or at least the 30k Imperium. In terms of aesthetics, the Empire is the obvious equivalent. And let's be real, it's not like corruption and incompetence is a distant prospect to the humans of the Old World either...
The Storm Fiends we got for End Times are just Skaven Space Marines. Or more accurately, the Thunder Warriors. In both the stages of technological development, and the naming convention. (Also, both the factions in this video really love using Storm-related names).
This makes me love the skaven more
Hold up… let him cook
I was always under the impression that the mechanicus were supposed to be a reflection of the skaven obsessions in 40k (and also living rent-free under the imperium, without being truly imperial) , just not as chaotic.
Imperium is like a.... lawful evil/neutral skaven I think....
Skaven is super chaotic in their nature so... normally they're definitely 100% chaotic evil.
"The Imperium *are* the Space Skaven".
If you think about it for a minute...he's right. What a mindblowing recontextualization. (Not for me; I'm too jaded to be surprised anymore.)
Fuck as a skaven fan it would be fucking cool to see humanity and rats begrudgingly working together.
Yet another hot take from our favorite diabetic.
Honestly, im very glad you made this. I thought I was nuts when I noticed some of the similarities...
Wouldn't rat ogre abominations be the closest thing they have to titans? Idk much about the Skaven so I'm actually asking
Rat Ogres are their Space Marines and Ogryns. The Hell Pit Abomination is functionally more akin to an attempt at making their version of a Carnifex.
There is another parallel: The Imperium fights amongst itself almost as much as the Skaven do. It's actually a big reason why they aren't able to commit all their resources to killing their external enemies
well,modern day society is a hybrid of ogres and skavens
Ironically that actually makes the imperium of man extremely interesting. It grimedark future the most dystopian authoritarian future imaginable for humanity. Humanity are monsters in 40k trying to keep illusion of nobility and that what makes them interesting they are basically the opposite of star trek
"Or maybe they had too much warpstone." Not possible. Not for the skaven.
You thought you cranked down the volume and we wouldn't realize... Joke's on you. The AOM soundtrack is seared into my memory!
I’m calling an inquisitor right now
Dude.
I went crazy cause you used the AGE of mythologie music and I thought there was a soundglitch when i closed the game : D
10:00 if there are any female skaven that dont get turned into one of those monstrosities, nobody will ever know because theyll never let anyone live long enough to tell if found out
I always imagined some female skaven slipped through the cracks... But they're still skaven so if anyone learns they're female they die xD
@@Chapien with the sheer number of skaven being born at a constant rate, it is unbelievable that every single female would be picked out for the broodmother treatment. Especially considering how sloppy amd unreliable almost every single skaven is, of course they'd miss a few female pups. Also, I'd imagine creating and maintaining a broodmother would be rather resource intensive, so I find it a little hard to believe that any given skaven clan even COULD make broodmothers out of all the females born, unless the sex ratio is VERY skewed and hardly any females are ever born
@@BustyBraixen Sadly they never specify that there are more men than women born, so really we just don't know. AFAIK GW has not even brought up broodmothers in AoS.
To be honest, I find it a bit weird, like most eusocial species (although you could argue that the Skaven are more of an eu-antisocial species) are either mostly females with males only existing as drones for reproduction (like with most eusocial insects) or it's like with naked mole-rats and you have more or less a 50/50 distribution but the queens emit some sort of hormon that basically chemically spays all the other females. And once the queen dies the daughters start to fight for dominance until one (usually the one who produces the most offspring) becomes the new queen and monopolizes sexual reproduction again - one of these war of successions in captivity lasted 16 months and nine mole-rats died. The queens are also a lot bigger than normal female workers, but they mostly grow in length so they can still move through the tunnels. They are also super aggressive against all of the unfertile workers and even against sexually unproductive males (there are usually 1-3 non-related males in a colony with the privilege to mate with the queen; although as soon as they start to become sexually active, they actually start to age rapidly).
I feel like you could just take this for the skaven and it would totally fit. And it would make sense, like when a breeding mother dies, they can immediately be replaced; well, not without some conflict that will first kill off half of the clan I guess. And let's be honest, skaven look more like mole-rats than normal rats anyway. Barely anyone of them has any fur.
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Parteiyeah but naked mole rat also opposite of Skaven had somewhat anti cancer gene, live way longer than normal lifespan of rats and had a metabolism of a plant, the queen are the boss of their under kingdom unlike ant queen or Skaven “mother”, the queen can command and bully anyone around her so to her harem boy toy can have the same privilege, weirdly enough despite their society being hierarchical and smelly but when it come to food everyone is equal.
9:23 It's not friendly fire, because to have friendly fire you need friends and skaven lack those.
Yeah, they gave the mech equivalent to the Vampire Coast with that big undead ship mecha with a canon for a hand.

The emperor of Man-thing-kind was just-just five skaven in a trench coat-coat. Yes-yes.
Based af take
"If friendly fire was bad they wouldn't call it friendly would they?"
A Rat Mother, sometimes called a Breeder, or Broodmother, is the only known type of Skaven female, a creature birthed only to serve her species as a bloated, baby-making factory. Each Rat Mother weighs at least 700 pounds and measures 10 feet long from snout to tail. Their flabby soft bodies bristle with dozens of protrusions, all of which leak the foul-smelling milk on which their litters are weaned.
Partly crippled by their role of constant pregnancy, Rat Mothers cannot care for themselves and must rely on castrated slaves for survival. They spend most of their time in a euphoric haze brought on by an application of hallucinogens and other drugs.
When adequately fed and attended, the Rat Mother births a litter of 1-10 squalling Ratlings each week, these creatures reaching maturity in 2-3 weeks.

2:05 had me rolling had to stop the video I was laughing so much poor little guy🤣
Funny you should mention Skaven as Sisters of Battle: Apparently someone already made an army of minis in which every Battle Sister’s head was replaced by a Skaven head. Including one Saint Skaven-stine.
And of course, who could forget the most favorite of Skaven among weebs, the embodiment of Chaos herself, Hakos Baelz of the Aussie Under-Empire. Not only does Bae have lots of fan art of her with her fellow Skaven, but she also has an infamous portrait of her as a Sister of Battle, ready to serve -the Emperor- Chaos with all her spirit.
"The Imperium Are The Space Skaven"
Like, I'm an Imperial player and I'm not even mad at that statement. Sounds like a very precise observation. Still, I will need to call an Inquisitor on this video
The Imperium is the 40k equivalent of the Empire, Bretonnia, Kislev, Estalia and Tilea...and the Skaven.
Living underground was more of a necron thing.
even though this was mostly stuff from a 4chan tts I've heard of, it was still fun to hear words from the guy who's pancreas doesn't work
I love the fact that the Captain General of the Custodes is a member of the council because nobody has the balls to tell him he is not (there are other reasons, but the rule of cool one wins for me)
5:30 as an average drunk ass factorio player I can confirm, I pray that a single part of my production line is not going to be destroyed, since once that happens I might as well restart the entire game (again)
... for in the grimdark future, there is only restarts.
Never thought of it that way before but the second I read the title I was like "Actually.... that's kinda true"
Skaven looking at corpse starch: "finally some good fucking food"
Yes-yes, completely accidental-unintential. The Horned Rat protects.
Skaven are more like 40k Orkz.
They do not know what they are doing, but chances are something will explode.
I have a question: do you like Slaanesh? She....he....IT is a very crucial part of the eldar lore and very important for the narrative but he..she...IT is also the biggest threat to the eldar
SHEM
All the Chaos Gods can be referred to as it, though Khorne and Nurgle are clearly male.
I mean Slaanesh is probably the least likely to accept it pronouns. I out of respect go with what I find most appealimg, so I default to she her.
I hate slaanesh because i hate grapists and pdfphiles.
@@nicoruppert4207if slaanesh is desire taken to excess than slaanesh appears differently. If Slaanesh wants to corrupt me appearing as a dude isn’t going to help
I never realised that it is THAT close
I did it the other way round. I kitbashed ork mechs into Skaven mechs and used them as mounts for my generals and hellpit abominations.
Stormfiends are literally skaven space marines
The 40k Skaven could be extra-galacticals that were piggy-back riding on the Tyranids tendrils somehow in some unexplainable tomfollery.
they could sneak their way in the webway and mess with the dark eldar for a while and eventually just have their place somewhere in the galaxy.
that would be so funny that no further explaination was given on them, they just show up and make that fact every other's faction's problem.
Take that back.
