I must say i was totally surprise. For a race famous for liar, back stabbing and selfish, the Scribe is cute (for a Skaven), brave and loyal to his clan. Much respect for that little one.
yeah that seemed... really anti-skaven, like canon breaking even. That he killed a Horned Rat like that is also kind of outrageous. Loyalty is a dirty word for the skaven, it shouldnt be a thing
Việt Trung Trần He is being selfish, unloyal, and a backstabber. He saved his own hide and gained immense power by betraying and murdering someone he is supposed to obey. The only reason he walked into the Screaming One's lair is because they would most definitely have tortured him, if not brutally murdered or eaten him for disobeying. The clan he was assigned to got lucky. If he was loyal and brave he would have let himself be sacrificed. That way he would be loyal to his masters, brave for facing death, and actually help the Skaven race towards domination by not sacrificing a quite powerful and useful clan. The little man is as skaven as can be, and he should be damn proud of that. Also, to the dwarf dude: This behaviour is typical for skaven in the canon. Instead of doing some heroic sacrifice for the good of the skaven empire, they turn on other clans the moment they're in a tight spot themselves. This is how most of high-ranked skaven, warlords, and the ones on the council rose to power. If I remember correctly, thats how Queek (the big ass warlord) got to his position aswell. Trampled smaller clans that weren't even hostile just to make sure he remained one of the most dominant forces in the under-empire.
All the other Warhammer races : you can’t build a rocket and pretend it’s a comet , it’s unfunny and can have great consequences for our magic our society and our culture reeeeee Skaven : haha Spoice ship 🚀
@@bioniclefan1995 I’m pretty sure the comet is real since that was what signified the birth of sigmar it’s just that this one was made by the slave and was henceforth fucking with the vortex
For those who missed it: If you play 2 more turns after completing the last ritual, there is an epilogue (only text). In the Skaven one, the scribe becomes the Herald of the Horned Rat and the most powerful Skaven in the world(with all the troubles and assassination attempts that come with it). The epilogue ends when the "Screaming one" come to demand a "payment" for the scribe rise in power.
The grey seer and the scribe: -Awful chemistry -Abusive relationship -Scribe does all the work, seer takes all the merit The skink chief and his kroxi bodyguard: -Power couple -Treat each other as equal -Perfect union of brains and brawn
Is it a chief or was it Ra-Tok I thought it was him because the whole astronomy and his type of magic but maybe I'm wrong And so far I have always enjoyed seeing those two and I'm here now because I saw the horned rat and went "what the fuck is that" and came here
@@cameronroy2129 I mean, it probably ISNT Ra Tok because despite how similar Skinks and Saurus can look among their peers, I think Ra Tok is just a random Skink Priest that fights with Kroq Gar.
Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the Scribe was set up from the beginning to be the Herald of the Horned Rat. First, he was the confirmed to be one of the few that could actually read the Black Pillar when hardly any other Skaven could. Second, when he is sent to the Screaming One, the Verminlord teases him about the bell clapper, but still tells him the spells necessary for the Machine. Also, he leaves the meeting without any harm done to him or a price extracted from him. Unheard-of in such circumstances. Third, in spite of it being standard practice for Skaven Slaves to do all the work for their masters, the Scribe ends up knowing exactly how the Machine is supposed to work without anyone tell him. This knowledge would be beyond the comprehension of a meger Skaven Slave. Fourth, when the Horned Rat appears, he says "Clever Child." He is speaking directly to the Scribe and knows that the Scribe is the one to put his plan into motion. The entire scene is the Horned Rat instructing the Scribe what to do and telling him that he needs to take the Machine of Doom and Curses to the Vortex and to sacrifice the Grey Seer Clan as he has no more use for them. Fifth, during the Battle of the Vortex, you are in the assumed position of the Scribe at this point and you defeat all the other armies, including ones that the Council of Thirteen sends at you. He manges to win against overwhelming odds and summons the Horned Rat. This could only happen because the Horned Rat blessed him and has protected him up to that point to make him his herald. I just wanted to point that out in case no one else has. It's pretty good writing on CAs part to sneak in a detail like that. But I have been fairly happy with how they've done things concerning story.
i was playing as Mors. So while the Scribe turning against the Seer can be easily interpreted as an act of self-preservation, i can interpret it as an act of loyalty...Also Queek notoriously DESPISES Grey Seer's so that works well.
@@miniatureben3558I mena, that *was* genuinely an accident for once. Thanquol did fully intend to summon up a Verminlord, but the dead Grey Seer he had taken the summoning fetish from had sabotaged the thing to instead summon a khornate demon. Then Thanquol went his usual MORE POWER! routine when casting the summoning spell and got the grand daddy of Khorne summons.
I love it. The Skaven are considered, among other things, weak, dimwitted and cowardly. So what did the Skaven do? Play the superstitions and hubris of all the others against them. They turned the Great Vortex into the world's biggest rattrap. And they did so without even touching it. All the others: "Now's our chance! Move on the Vortex!" Screaming One: "Alright, get the bell ready. And if you're looking for a sacrifice, go ahead and make it the ones who made you do all the work." (returns to watching the Vortex and munching on popcorn)
I love Warhammer. The setting is so over the top and stupid that the majority of people refuse to believe in rat people, while actively waring against Giants, trolls, dragons, Orks, Demons, cow people, among other things.
The Great Conspiracy isn’t to keep the man-things ignorant: it’s to keep the SKAVEN ignorant. As it stands they’re too fractured to launch a truly unstoppable unified assault, because they think the surface dwellers are largely ignorant of them and thus can focus on infighting and preparation for the End Times. But if their cover is publicly blown and they have reason to believe the surface is going to march in force on Skavenblight? BOOM. The mother of all vermintides and the end of it all.
Well, it is mostly the government and Witch Hunters censoring it. Also, I think a decent amount of rat-catchers are aware of their existence, and there are books on them. Very important people might know, but for the most part its intentionally kept secret. It is funny, though.
The people who look for proof of the non-existent ratmen tend to unalive themselves via multiple stabbings to the back of the head. i.e. It's not just willful ignorance, the Skaven go out of their way to suppress widespread knowledge of their existence.
It's mostly a thing in the Empire, and came about because the Skaven clans across it had a several centuries long civil war during which they essentially didn't go to the surface at all, and so became an urban myth. Plus they decided to exacerbate that by erasing pieces of written history and assorted knowledge in a campaign of sabotage and assassinations.
played only in Vermintide 1, and 2 from warhammer franchise. I thought that the skavens are funny talking semi-intelligent animals that can only poke at heroes and attack in a crowd, and use some strange magic, powered by green stones. And then I see them building scuba gear, laboratories, resilient government structures and FREAKIN SPACE ROCKETS. Holy crap, no wonder skavens played a big role in the end times. I don't know mush about universe of Warhammer, but this is pretty interesting
It may have been only self-preservation, but maybe, just maybe, the scribe actually wanted to protect his clan, which would be quite wholesome for a skaven
Skaven have a certain "love" sort of, for their clan above other clans. At least in the sense that if there are members of another clan present, they will be eaten first. This is that happening. The scribe is preserving himself, taking power, and shielding his clan. Win all around for a self serving rat.
HTMR4445 1 All Skaven are paranoid and willing to murder each other for the last cookie as Arch would put it, but when it comes to the clans, it can be summed up in this quote. Pardon me if I screwed it up. "Me against my brothers. My brothers and I against our countrymen. My countrymen and I against the outsiders." They will defend their clan if it's in their best interest, which it usually is. More Skaven between you and other Skaven is always good.
One can dream, too bad it would be infested with progressist stuff in it nowadays, like including queer skaven, gay chaos gods and black non-binary transgender empire leaders
Lowly scribe-slave has read-seen Black Pillar! From Great Horned Rat instruction-order came! Assemble-build the weapon-machine, destroy-kill elf things it will! Hmmm....Step 73, insert Rivet A1 in plug B20, yes-yes!
Honestly, the skaven are by far the most resilient race in the warhammer universe. They have fought and lost so many battles that a normal man's soul would be crushed 10 fold, for the skaven though this is not true
Well to be fair I doubt it's the same skaven each time. Most probably get backstabbed and eaten before they even have time lose the battle due to trying to sabotage another clan who was going to ally with them to win the fight
Nah, I was just joking due to the Skaven in this game creating a makeshift rocket, I joked that due to their first "space" expedition, they are getting ready to join in on the 40K warhammer universe, which is a full future space themed game in contrast to Warhammer Fantasy Battle's magic on land and sea battles.
After the end of the world that WH fantasy resides in the slaves race and their God just became a part of the warp didn’t they? Like Skaven do exist in 40k because of it. I can’t remember the exacts but it’s along those lines, they are almost one with the warp
I won the campaign by other means, and didn't get to fight "the final battle". Tried to continue campaign, but the whole vortex line thingy was gone.... that being said, the thought of Skaven being able to build spacecraft in these ancient of times does not bode well for the galaxy, or universe for that matter.
If Total War Warhammer followed lore, the good guys, dark elves and undead would lose one-sidedly Skaven should be cheaper and have Frenzy Many of the units of the Warriors of Chaos and Norsca should have Frenzy and Immune to Psychology Aspiring Champions, Chaos Warriors, Chaos Spawn, Chaos Knights, Chosen and Forsaken should have Frenzy, Unbreakable, Anti-Infantry and Unlimited Vigour Aspiring Champions, Chaos Warriors, Chaos Knights and Chosen have more Armor and Anti-Infantry and Charge Defense vs Infantry Forsaken have Regeneration (Even more than the Undead and not as susceptible to Fire Damage) and Anti-Large and Charge Defense vs All Beastmen should have +20% Campaign movement range Warriors of Chaos have +200% CAMPAIGN MOVEMENT RANGE!
@@christiandauz3742 And Grimgor would stomp every single skaven army, star dragons would tear apart almost EVERY unit in the game, Morathi would be better than average mage in a battle and Mazdamundi would win by himself. Who cares?
I love the Scribe. You may laugh, but even in the biggest nest full of angry, shy or aggresive rats is one mellow and loyal. Well, I got here by watching some rat videos (our realm) and algoritm threw me here. And yes, I got two ratties long time ago. I approve, this is plausible when one is totally different than 1000 other s
As much as I would love to see skaven in 40k, it wouldn’t feel at home. In a world of space marines, robotic Egyptians, aliens fighting for the greater good, and just technology being so “highly advanced” considering the age of strife, skaven with their form of technology wouldn’t make much sense. They have plague weapons against space marines with gene seeds that protect them from all diseases. They have warpstone tech that is omega heresy, yes, but for their god, the great horned rat, a 5th chaos god, would throw everything we know about Warhammer 40k lore out a window. Where was he in the entirety of this? Why hasn’t he interacted with the other gods? was he always here or was he coalesced like slaanesh? In age of Sigmar, with a lore already set and stone, it’s hard to incorporate that into 40k, which then leads to people wanting other races to be in 40k, which isn’t possible considering that the beginning of age of sigmar is a literal “and then everyone died”. But who am I to talk with this whole “lore consistency” and “it wouldn’t make sense”? Bring me my precious rat bois into the 41st millennium already damn it! The imperium has a problem in their sewers, you say? SKAVEN TIME!
Hah! You believe in a race that spans the galaxy, polluting and strip-mining as they go, souring worlds in their shortsighted grasping for food and resources to feed Nest-worlds of teeming billions? Do they transit across the stars by delving to hell-dimensions to travel with the aid of their mutated brethren? Are they crippled in byzantine internecine warfare? Do they worship some mouldering god? Do they fester in the ruins of their betters, their ignorant claws pawing at treasures they can't grasp? What's that? They'll send their seething billions of disposable foot soldiers at me? Or their storm troopers? Perhaps their gene-forged abominations will crash the gates of my home aided by their wicked and clever inventors who wield technology they barely understand or control. I should fear their Council who'll dispatch their feared assassins. Preposterous!
Much as I love all these scenes, I'm a little confused at why Queek Headtaker has turned up for a Council meeting. Clanlord Gnawdwell must be feeling a bit threatened!
Am I the ONLY one realizing that the Skaven both achieved orbital warpstone spaceflight and ICBM technology. What the hell did they really need the rat god for?! Only race capable of probably colonizing other planets or sending warpstone ICBM's across the realm.
On the off chance there are any video/photo editors in the group here.. Does anyone know what techniques we're used to achieve these cut scenes? It's like digital paintings coupled with a 3d Parallex effect to create motion.
It's like the old Disney multiplane camera th-cam.com/video/YdHTlUGN1zw/w-d-xo.html, just done digitally so they can now add in more complex camera movements and 3d elements as well.
@@warlerker Honestly, Mors is the most fitting if these, what with them being a warlord clan (so probably the closest you get to a true meritocracy in the Under-Empire) and their mistrust of Grey Seers and sorcery.
i dont even think the stuff from total war is considered Canon...but there is a Mention of saltzpyre in the game (some skaven curses him if i remember correctly) but its more of a nodd to the vermintide games then a actual Connection. Vermintide is now officially cinsidered Canon from GW wich is pretty cool imo. But to return to your Question no, i dont think the games are connected.
The skaven are perhaps the most techy in Warhammer Fantasy, mainly due to their endless experiments with Warp Stone and zero fucks to give about how many Skaven die in the process of advancements as long as they aren’t among them.

Nah, I was just joking due to the Skaven in this game creating a makeshift rocket, I joked that due to their first "space" expedition, they are getting ready to join in on the 40K warhammer universe, which is a full future space themed game in contrast to Warhammer Fantasy Battle's magic on land and sea battles.
jefthereaper well the ratmen in 40k arent very far off from being skaven in space and they do worship some kind of rat god iirc.
After the end of the world that WH fantasy resides in the slaves race and their God just became a part of the warp didn’t they?
Like Skaven do exist in 40k because of it.
I can’t remember the exacts but it’s along those lines, they are almost one with the warp
I wish they where in 40k, that would be great
Skaven Space Program(TM)
Human space program: Oh crap the commies are catching up!
Skaven space program: I heard the moon is made of cheese
I won the campaign by other means, and didn't get to fight "the final battle". Tried to continue campaign, but the whole vortex line thingy was gone....
that being said, the thought of Skaven being able to build spacecraft in these ancient of times does not bode well for the galaxy, or universe for that matter.
Give that skavenslave a cookie
@@frenne_dilley That is how the Skaven revolution will start.
@@jacobgame2757 Every tuesday is a civil war
The guy is powerful enough to have ALL the cookies.
Yes-Yes
1:52: Queek's voice is damnedd badass ! 🥰
Buff skaven yes-yes?!
If Total War Warhammer followed lore, the good guys, dark elves and undead would lose one-sidedly
Skaven should be cheaper and have Frenzy
Many of the units of the Warriors of Chaos and Norsca should have Frenzy and Immune to Psychology
Aspiring Champions, Chaos Warriors, Chaos Spawn, Chaos Knights, Chosen and Forsaken should have Frenzy, Unbreakable, Anti-Infantry and Unlimited Vigour
Aspiring Champions, Chaos Warriors, Chaos Knights and Chosen have more Armor and Anti-Infantry and Charge Defense vs Infantry
Forsaken have Regeneration (Even more than the Undead and not as susceptible to Fire Damage) and Anti-Large and Charge Defense vs All
Beastmen should have +20% Campaign movement range
Warriors of Chaos have +200% CAMPAIGN MOVEMENT RANGE!
@@christiandauz3742 And Grimgor would stomp every single skaven army, star dragons would tear apart almost EVERY unit in the game, Morathi would be better than average mage in a battle and Mazdamundi would win by himself. Who cares?
@@crim1188
Chaos would be OP than they would win the Campaign in just ONE TURN!
@@christiandauz3742 B-but what about LITERALLY EVERY OTHER RACE THAN CHAOS??
@@verruxlunox8438
Just another obstacle for Chaos/Skaven to eat
Tzaarkan alone has conquered multiple worlds
God I love the Skaven
Me too :)
SpaceX cry your hearth out.
I demand a full pov Skaven game.
Skaven are so delightfully conniving!
YES-YES
I like how some of the skaven look like characters from a Don Bluth film, especially the Grey's minion
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee
It also tolled 13 times in the final cinematic.
There are no skaven. Just tales of old hags
Warhammer lore is so much cooler than Warcraft. Sorry Warcraft 2 and 3 and my childhood, but its true.
Warcraft (and Starcraft) have been absolute garbage ever since they went mainstream. I do miss the old days :/
I maybe alone, but I adore the scribe. Hes rather cute in some scenes.
I love the Scribe. You may laugh, but even in the biggest nest full of angry, shy or aggresive rats is one mellow and loyal. Well, I got here by watching some rat videos (our realm) and algoritm threw me here. And yes, I got two ratties long time ago. I approve, this is plausible when one is totally different than 1000 other s
Happy great horned rat day
11:49 Oh hey, now I am the Giant Rat. Cool surprise.
Suprised we don’t see skaven in warhammer 40k! I mean they have space travel before anyone else!
As much as I would love to see skaven in 40k, it wouldn’t feel at home. In a world of space marines, robotic Egyptians, aliens fighting for the greater good, and just technology being so “highly advanced” considering the age of strife, skaven with their form of technology wouldn’t make much sense. They have plague weapons against space marines with gene seeds that protect them from all diseases. They have warpstone tech that is omega heresy, yes, but for their god, the great horned rat, a 5th chaos god, would throw everything we know about Warhammer 40k lore out a window. Where was he in the entirety of this? Why hasn’t he interacted with the other gods? was he always here or was he coalesced like slaanesh? In age of Sigmar, with a lore already set and stone, it’s hard to incorporate that into 40k, which then leads to people wanting other races to be in 40k, which isn’t possible considering that the beginning of age of sigmar is a literal “and then everyone died”. But who am
I to talk with this whole “lore consistency” and “it wouldn’t make sense”? Bring me my precious rat bois into the 41st millennium already damn it! The imperium has a problem in their sewers, you say? SKAVEN TIME!
Agreed.
Hah! You believe in a race that spans the galaxy, polluting and strip-mining as they go, souring worlds in their shortsighted grasping for food and resources to feed Nest-worlds of teeming billions?
Do they transit across the stars by delving to hell-dimensions to travel with the aid of their mutated brethren? Are they crippled in byzantine internecine warfare? Do they worship some mouldering god? Do they fester in the ruins of their betters, their ignorant claws pawing at treasures they can't grasp?
What's that? They'll send their seething billions of disposable foot soldiers at me? Or their storm troopers? Perhaps their gene-forged abominations will crash the gates of my home aided by their wicked and clever inventors who wield technology they barely understand or control. I should fear their Council who'll dispatch their feared assassins.
Preposterous!
I think they just haven’t gotten in contact with any of the army’s in 40k, perhaps the tyranids(?)
NOW YOU WILL EAT DEFEAT-SHAME YES YES!
4:36 You must construct additional pylons.
So the little skaven did a heroic thing by betraying his master
So I am not only who noticed :D
Yeah, but for entirely selfish reasons. He was about to be sacrificed along with his whole clan, so he doomed the Grey Seers instead.
I like how it’s shows high elves and Lizardmen dead who fought together
9:20 a goddamned spaceship
Much as I love all these scenes, I'm a little confused at why Queek Headtaker has turned up for a Council meeting. Clanlord Gnawdwell must be feeling a bit threatened!
imagine the tau or tyranids saw the skaven rocket
Who would have guessed that Jerma's fandom could cause such a havok.
More heads for Queek!! Yes-yes
“We choose-choose to go-fly to moon and other space-things! Not because easy-simple, …but for CHEESE!”
Am I the ONLY one realizing that the Skaven both achieved orbital warpstone spaceflight and ICBM technology. What the hell did they really need the rat god for?! Only race capable of probably colonizing other planets or sending warpstone ICBM's across the realm.
I think skaven are cool
People saying they're not are just jealous
8:18 That sounds quite funny.
turn on closed captions
"Not Fuckin Trolling vortex"
"Masterful street muslim inspected"
The sound design of the scaven voices in these cinematics is simply wonderfull. ❤
On the off chance there are any video/photo editors in the group here.. Does anyone know what techniques we're used to achieve these cut scenes? It's like digital paintings coupled with a 3d Parallex effect to create motion.
It's like the old Disney multiplane camera th-cam.com/video/YdHTlUGN1zw/w-d-xo.html, just done digitally so they can now add in more complex camera movements and 3d elements as well.
Love how they voice acting for the rats
It sounds there on crake half the time
well you are half right they are definitely smoking a type of rock
am I the only one who found that scream terrifying. 0:20
Nope, the voice actor went off with that one😂
I like listening closely and hearing the slight british accent they have
Well, from the title alone I now know Skaven have cutscenes. Thank you for spoiling it! 😂😂😂
Queek directly helped the scribe? I see him in the final cutscene.
What clan adopted this Scribe-slave?
Clan you chose to play. (Mors or pestilens)
Ethereal_Fox Ok
Or Rictus with the new Legendary Lord :)
@@avonthes or Skryre.
@@warlerker Honestly, Mors is the most fitting if these, what with them being a warlord clan (so probably the closest you get to a true meritocracy in the Under-Empire) and their mistrust of Grey Seers and sorcery.
YES-YES!
Is it just me, or do most of the Skaven’s voices sound like Tim Curry?
watching the how the skaven scheme I realize how much I am drawn to Tzeentch
is the skaven campaign the prequel to the vermintide series ?
i dont even think the stuff from total war is considered Canon...but there is a Mention of saltzpyre in the game (some skaven curses him if i remember correctly) but its more of a nodd to the vermintide games then a actual Connection. Vermintide is now officially cinsidered Canon from GW wich is pretty cool imo. But to return to your Question no, i dont think the games are connected.
Rick Khemai no the vortex shit has nothing to do with the end times
Its like a side story thing, Vermintide is the end times, which is (shitty) Canon
Little late, but no. All of this has been reconned/destroyed. None of it is cannon anymore.
Great Horned Rat Day lead me here.
should be "our tail begins"
Your older brother when you find out rain isn’t God crying: 8:48
Underrated
HAPPY GREAT HORNED RAT DAY WOOP WOOP
Cue Zegram coughing his lungs out
Also holy shit that got intense FAST. TELL HIM TELL HIM TELL HIM
8:18 Not fucking trolling vortex.
The skaven are all gangster until the ubersreik 5 arrive
Imagine Skaven in 40k with Advanced Armor, Weapons, Vehicles and Psykers
They called tyranids
The Tyranids aren't like the skaven, the orks are more similar@@dirtyox6862
Ratatouille got tired of seeing Masterchef steal his recipes
We only want to make the world a better place, for us..
It would be ugly to watch people poking sticks at a caged rat. _It is uglier still to watch rats poking sticks at a caged person._
That slave-scribe looks petable
As a dwarf player I hate scathen. The extermination is in progress
I sure do love Great Horned Rat Day
Isn't the malstrom guarded by count noctalis
That moment when you realise that skaven name derrives from scavengers lolz
These guys should be in 40K
RATS RATS WE ARE THE RATS CELEBRATING ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR BIRTHDAY BASHES
The bones of Sotek??!!
Soteks priests.
I like that sometimes the ork accent breaks through the rat-speak
The shaven have made rockets capable of going into space wtf
The skaven are perhaps the most techy in Warhammer Fantasy, mainly due to their endless experiments with Warp Stone and zero fucks to give about how many Skaven die in the process of advancements as long as they aren’t among them.
And they blew up Morrslieb in the End Times.
Just saying rats are actually good swimmers, some can tread water for days.
i love to play the skaven and teamup with humans giving me good vibes
