This is the revised Skaven video containing 2 already released episodes in one single piece, this version has a few addittions, cuts and changes here and there. The most significant one is the removal of the Skaven vs Dark Elves battle, which didn't really add much to the overall story/lore. This resulted in a more "condensed" video.
In this instance, we explore the origins of the ratmen and then we proceed to talk a bit about Skavenblight, the capital city of the Skaven.
Hope you enjoy this episode!
The Book of Choyer hi
Hey!
Can you do the dwarves and high elf war the war hammers I think
Midway in the video I did feel like I heard this before and when the bell toll I immediately remembered , thanks for condensing the information for us and keep up the good work .
Yeah
Why are you wasting your time and talent on things that don't exist. This chaos propaganda does not have my consent.

Great update video Book of Choyer. And kill all Skaven!!

3:30 anyone have image or know the source?
Yes Pawel :) It's within the Skaven 7th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles Rulebook.
@@TheBookofChoyer Ty! I want a t-shirt from this
so was the Grey stanger the Great Horned Rat ?
From what I've managed to gather from community posts and lore videos: No.
The Horned Rat is a chaos god that only exists because the Skaven created him with their belief.
So, the hooded figure created the Skaven, and the Skaven unintentionally created the Horned Rat.
But I am 100% not an expert, so I could be wrong. I just noticed nobody responded to you, so I figured I'd chime in with what my understanding of the situation is.
Skavens are not nearly as evil as their real live equivalent Disney. This foul mouse god Mickey will own everything if he remains unchecked.
Mickey would be a Lord of Decay fo sho.
Damnit Disney!!
Mickey is the great horned rat!

The Tale of the Thirteen would make one kickass movie even for those not into warhammer
If anything it could spark their interest in it
Would be kinda cool if there was like a series with each ep being a story from warhammer
Skavenblight is a horror film in itself
True as hell the skaven have some spooky potential instead of being goofy funny man rats
The s*** ton of stories that are just as interesting from the Warhammer fantasy universe and the Warhammer 40k universe that for some reason just are not getting movies or TV shows, yet we get remakes of every '80s TV show and a new alien versus predator movie every 5 years.
The Black Library should be thanking you. Because of you I nearly have half of their entire collection lmao.
The full trailer is from the game Vermintide 2

The Humans despair and call upon the dark Gods.
Khorne in his infinite generosity sends hoards of dangerous creatures into the city for you to slay and gain strength.
You hide in your home praying like a coward.
... Did you even want help?
Lmao
So the man who built the temple spire in one night, was he the great horned rat or some chaos god/demon?
Nah that was just Dave from the temp agency.
On a serious note it's never confirmed who that was. No official source made any claim of the man's identity. Loremaster of Sotek has a good theory though, that the man was Tzeentch. Watch his Skaven Q&A he explains it better but basically it's well within Tzeentch's character to do something like that just because he would think it's funny. Tzeentch isn't the great horned rat though. The great horned rat is his own god, that much is confirmed.
@@warhawk9566 if thats the case what does it mean? Tzeentch created the skaven/great horned rat? were they always around and the bell just summoned them? whats the relationship with the skaven and the forces of chaos?
I guess the whole tale is meant to be a play on the tale of the pied piper, the whole Human leading a bunch of rats, and striking a deal with people that ended terribly in the end
For all we know it could have been a Skaven sorcerer using some form of warp fuckery to appear human, and the bell was a psychic beacon meant to draw the blessings of the Great Horned Rat and turn the city into a safe haven for their species. Somebody fanfic that $#!7 up!
This is one of the best storytelling style. I don't like Skaven personally but the way their origin is delivered just slaps.
Man-thing don't like s-skaven, must kill-kill d-dead dead!
You squeak-speak lies lies! No such thing as skaven, no!
Keep up the great work!! Not sure why you only have 40k subscribers!! This channel should have 1 million!!!

and even now its quite terrifying.good work on the video
Imagine these guys being in the 40K universe

Skaven vs Tyranids
That’s just the imperium dirt cheap and uncountable
They technically were during Rogue Trader. The Hruk or someshite.
Skrubasaursus is such an amazing narrator and the overall production level is top notch. Great little compilation about my favorite Warhammer race.
Was it Master Splinter who completed the tower? Would explain a lot...
Cowabunga!
Great video guys,amazing job.
Why this is not been made a Movie yet is beyond me! SCREAMING RAT! BEST RAT!!! FOR THE HORNED RAT!!!!
I want a live action version of the Headtaker novel, cause that book is badass, all they need is alot of practical effects, I'd love to see an actual lifelike suit of Queek Headtaker and his large rack, I'd wager it'd be heavy as fuck but just find some bodybuilders up north and give em nerd neck, although I'll understand if Ska Bloodtail's suit would kill anyone whose in it for too long, although I'll understand if they can't because of the mass genocide of local rat populations and use CGI, just have it be amazing CGI
You know things are truly bad, when even prayers to the Dark Gods go unanswered!!!!
Please more Skaven videos. We must know everything there is to know.
Wonderful work as always, I would love to know if your looking for any voice actors to use in your videos.
I can't wait to see which faction you'll cover next but Skaven are and shall always be the best :D
Man I would totally watch a horror movie based on the rat bois. They, as a race, fuck up a lot, however they can still be taken seriously in a movie setting.
Especially using practical effects
They’ve become one of my favorite factions. Now I see why people dress up like them lol. They are so fun to play as even in total war.
Wouldnt be hard either, just do zombie movie cgi eesc effects for hordes and slap on rst noises a d skaven speak
@@tabhamma4451 It would require all different dynamics to a zombie movie. Most zombies typically are slow, or if they are quick they're not great at traversing tall obstacles and such. Skaven are quick, agile, can climb walls and buildings. Also, they are not completely brainless like zombies. In fact, skaven are good tacticians. It's just that often their tactics is to throw numbers at a problem :D
@@Quicksilver_Cookie well when your army breeds like rats...
HELL to the YES-YES!
When I first played warhammer 2 I was like ''heh rats... not my thing''.. Human thing was wrong yes yes! god I love the Skavens And I cant excactly say why.. Nukes? Badass artilery? Ratling guns?... I mean you could play bretonnia and spam plebs on horses I guess... Or rats with (Op) Machine guns.. Once you learn how to play the second properly you simply forget about option A
I usually come home tired and man thank you for the good content. Keep up the good work. Know that you are loved :D
I really appreciate your words man. I'm happy to hear that :)
Do you think the ''stranger'' transformed himself to what became the Great Horned Rat? I think so atleast.
I kind of doubt it. The ability to somehow take a giant glowing bell up to the top of the tower without any of the city's builders noticing as well as being able to finish the tower in one night that took the other builders whole generations just to get there implies he might've already had some serious power; if he wasn't the Horned Rat in disguise, the stranger at least was some sort of favored acolyte or servant sent to create and propogate the Horned Rat's destined children. The fact that the Skaven themselves don't seem to acknowledge this stranger in their religious practices would seem to confirm this latter idea of the stranger being some acolyte/servant of the Horned Rat, since you'd think they'd take that important detail into account considering how much they genuinely love (and fear) the Horned Rat.
So do we know anything about the man who finished the tower in a single night? Was he a cheat trainer that enabled 1 turn construction? No but seriously who was this guy? Do we have any details of who he was where he came from what he did or even what he looked like? If not do we have theories? Was he a god? Or demon prince? The thirteen is such a good tale, seriously whoever wrote it deserves some recognition. That’s some Tolkien level world building right there.
GREAT HORNED RAT DAY!
i started a vortex campaign with pestilens because your videos. i am a dwarf. you are the most inspiring narrator i ever had the pleasure to witness,keep up this great work of yours
“Don’t be so afraid, lumberfoots. It’s only a few rats.”
Im just here to find any weaknesses i can exploit with my lizardmen.
can you do kroq gar
Yes. I'm doing that one in a cuople of weeks. :)
@@TheBookofChoyer thx
YES-YES! You guys are just fueling my addiction... Thanks! :)
I don't know if I expressed this with the original upload, but the bell toll sound effect is top-notch ominous. Good work!
Goddamn it! Now I have to play Vermintide 2 again! Why didnt I find this awesome channel earlier?
Are there more subterranean species, other then Dwarves, Skaven, and Goblins?
Tomb kings, to an extent, lol
But on a serious note, none that I'm aware of
@F4LLEN // Darn. I really want Fishmen or Mole people.
I mean the rat men must be fighting something down there or they would have won the war already.
@@CampaignerSC IIRC it's been established that the Skaven mostly fight themselves (usually infighting between different clans; shoot, if I remember right, there was a _400-year long civil war_ among the Skaven), and it's their sheer inability to trust one another and not backstab and betray each other that has stopped them from unifying as one military force and completely devouring the surface world... at this point in time, at least.
I'm so happy that you exist
Awesome video. Btw Could you name the ambient music used from 19:22 to 21:30? I couldn't identify it from the tracks in the description.
Thanks.
As a TWW2 Skaven fan this is excellent... A bit disturbing for my human part but who cares 🤣🤣🤣 ALL HAIL THE GREAT HORNED RAT!!!
Great Horned Rat takes ALL yesYesYES Me~me kill KILL FEEEEEAST!!!
The skaven have their own doomsday theory, they increase their numbers beyond count and develop their wicked warp stone weapons in preperarion for that coming day, the day the mutant terrier race rears its head!
It's like they made the Skaven more and more important for people to take them seriously but they still do nothing.
The Doom of Kavzar is a great tale but really? What kind of religion would let a complete stranger build their most important temple for them for adding his own piece of religion? In the Warhammer world? Where everything is looked at through the eyes of potential heresy? Even if they would have, they would have torn down that bell after the rain began and maybe broken the curse. Cool story but nowhere near a believebal one for Warhammer.
We’ve got purging to do lads
Karl Franz SUMMON THE ELCTOR COUNTS!!
That'll take a while, condsidering the Skaven population is larger than all the other races..... combined.
Does anyone recall a story when the skaven tried to invade a Dwarfhold but were thwarted by their Ironbreakers covering the hallways, so they spent months putting wrapstone in the water to poison the Dwarves? Does any know which video this was from?
I don't know about the horn rat even the scammon's burned our time they're not that sentient Chevy manifested like something as a Warp yeah what's a complex and who who was the guy standing the Bell
That bell ringing gave me goosebumps listening it at 2am in the night. XD
This is a lame origin story even your voice couldn’t save. It would have been better if the manlings turned into the rats, but no the rats were summoned by the bell... so really not really an origin story.
Think ya can stop us? You're welcome to bloody try!

80% of this video was already covered in video 48. I skipped most of it and always returned to a point in the video that i'd already seen.
I feel like I’m listening to Dark Knight Rises with that prologue music
I'm trying to find the sound effect that's used for the bell tolles
This reminds me of hearing about in the news how in South Africa a giant rat ate a baby alive
this is hands down the best lore video ive ever watched. wow thanks a lot
MORE SKAVEN VIDS 💚
I do love your videos, but as some constructive critisicm: your pronunciation of certain names is very American, rather than the intended German. It's pronounced Morrs-Leeb, not Morrs-libe. Similar thing happened with the von Carstein video. (in wich case it should have been pronounced Car-stine though it was pronounced Cars-teen)
Or very British.
Thank you! These are the things we discuss with Skrubasauras (the voice actor). We always check and try to improve over our mistakes. Hopefully that aspect will get better over time.
“American” has many accents. You’re going to need to be more specific.
@@fumarc4501 Aye, East Coast, East Coast Bostonian, Jersey (Joisey), New Yorker, Chicagoan, Midwestern, Minnesotan, Wisconsin, Southern, -continues to list regional dialects ad nauseam for about an hour-
i guess they mean the very distinctive and unique R sounds Americans make, as well as different syllable timing such as pronouncing car-stine and cars-teen
Hey dude loved the video it’s and all your others are awesome, one of the reasons I started making my own videos, can’t wait for the next episode
I'm confused, so are you saying that before the bell incident the skaven only lived underground? I'm new to warhammer lord and am trying to figure out skavens right from their start point.
No; I think it seems like the stranger's bell slowly morphed the rats into the Skaven, like extremely sped-up evolution. Notice how the city's rats are only described as getting unusually hungry a short time after the bell begins the ring, but later on the rats are described as getting bigger and bolder, and eventually near the end of the story they're stated to have become huge and able to take on desperate human warriors.
It seems the bell slowly transformed the rats of the city (ordinary rats) into the man-sized, two-legged, vile and cunning Skaven; it's not that they only lived underground, it's that they literally didn't exist yet until after the Stranger implemented the bell that prompted their origins. This is further supported by the fact that this story, "The Doom of Kavzar", is repeatedly touted in the Warhammer universe as being the _origin story_ of the Skaven (meaning, how they first began) and _not_ just a story how they rose to power.
@@mrreyes5004 thank you for the detailed response 👍.
Know what if the tyranids just came in just eat all the skaven
And this is why you bring bright wizards.
Alright...sooooo that was the scariest shit I've ever heard.
I absolutely love the way you make these videos. It's so authentic and interesting 👍🏻❤️
Orks and Chaos vs Skavenblight
So basically the skaven are mutated men
MORE SKAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!
You should a video on Lizardmen.
I hate Skaven but thats why I watch their videos. A man who knows his enemies will be the victor.
Yes-yes. Study the enemy you must. Their power is vast-vast and tempting.
I would really love to see how the Imperium of Man would hold out against the Skaven. Could the might of the Astra Militarum, or even the might of the Adeptus Astarties, take on the Skaven menace?
Yeah like discover a planet from the dark age where the only thing that survived and bred was human rat hybrids for 10k years. But the imperium woukd absolutely stomp them
TH-cam recommended me this video.
skaven are the best race proper evil
Please anyone! I need to know the source of that huge diorama thing from 16:44 to 18:00. its so awesome, i`ve always wanted to make something like that
Hey Carlos! It is the Vermintide 2 anniversary Trailer, something along those lines... Hope you can find it!
@@TheBookofChoyer ahh thanks! I read it in the description, but I thought that one was the in-game trailer... Thank you very much! Also, cool video, I liked the story so much!

Keep up the great work!
Love these rats
Plz to stay safe from rat men
Put the damn tower down. After like the first week. Thats what any undumb human would do... -.-
AWESOME GOOD WORK!!!!!
I recognize the music in the background for the Doom of Kavzar part of the video. Very appropriate.
"Oh there will be resistance to our ascension of course. But if the blood of unbelievers must flow then these streets will run red! We are a horde, a tide, an army born in the shadows! Humanity has always looked to the [heavens] for enlightenment. And now, at last, the [Bell] has answered!"
Just something about Skaven lore and the way you tell it that keeps me coming back for more. I cant get enough! Wish there were a movie or series following the Vermintide.
Would have been nice if they made a Warhammer game that is similar to Skyrim and/or Kingdoms of Amalur and/or The Witcher. A Warhammer game that is NOT strictly online multiplayer.
Why is it that this channel that's worth millions of subscribers, doesn't even have 100.000 yet?
Where has this channel been? I love warhammer and it’s lore and always learning more and more because it’s so vast. This is epic. I feel like a kid who just walked into a strange mysteries from the 90s. Best narration ever
One does not simply march into Skavenblight...
Amazing video. It was like watching a scary movie! Good job bud im definitely going to subscribe ❤
Brilliant work !
So who was this man that completed the tower for the manlings? Was he the creator of the Skaven? Did his magic mutated the rats of the city into Skaven?
As of 9:24AM the 23SEP, 6 Witch Hunters have disliked this video.
Man - amazing job telling those stories. I swear I can listen to you telling stories all day :D It was like old-school radio horror story - loved it.
Think you can tell more horror like stories in Warhammer? You have the knack for it :)
I don't know if there is much material, but I would really like to see an Ikit Claw backround video. His Faction is the most fun to play imo
Dwarves (from dwarf fortress) lets construct a lava/magma river and drown those filthy things and burnout their lair.
Every time I heard the bell in the video i got Vermintide 2 flashbacks
Came across this channel a couple of days ago; I think this is my favourite telling so far *thumbs up*
