What do you mean? There is no such thing as Skaven, only heretics and chaos worshippers believe in skaven. So the answer of your question clearly is 0.
I love the almost horror movie feeling of this trailer. Seeing them walk through the fog to the sound of bells ringing, the fact that both sides hit them with everything they have yet it seems like their numbers never end. Probably the best trailer for a race in both games imo
The Skaven is by far GWs greatest achievement when it comes to fantasy its a race truly of their own and to this day is still their most unique and most well fleshed out race that they can call their own in the fantasy genre. To those who helped turn the skaven to what they are should be proud of this accomplishment. their visuals are completely their own and along with their society, religion to just how they speek and move its truly special. I would even argue that the skaven are the most iconic race GW ever created even when comparing it to 40k. I simply can't think of any other race thats as unique and as fleshed out as them.
"The great bell began to toll; once, twice, thrice; the slow, heavy waves swept across the city, Four, five, six times the bell rang; like the torpid pulse of a bronze giant. Seven, eight, nine; the rolling of the bell grew louder with each ring and the man-lings staggered back clutching their ears. Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen..."
its suposed to toll with that sound? i kinda remember reading somewere,they had 2 sound lik: "Magical cacophonies that sound to death and perdition for their enemies"
The thunderous tolling is magically amplified and with each toll, the din grows louder and more terrible, making the very stones to split and buildings to crumble. To those that are attunned to the Horned Rat, each toll gives out one single worded message: doom.
are you sure mate? The inquisition has probably laid exterminatus to over a thousand imperial worlds because there ''might'' be a heretic on it. *edit* Just noticed that the imperium nuking itself whenever it gets an itch isn't completly relevent since they aren't technically the IG....meh...
That's not really a good comparison. Some regiments of guardsmen do treat their soldiers as cannonfodders, like the Death Korp of Krieg or the Steel Legion of Armageddon. But others do not afford that, such as the 1st and only of Tanith or the 8th of Cadia (yes, Creed do care about his men to use "expendable" tactics only as last resort.) A better comparison would've been the Tyranids with which the Skaven shares the closest affinity for _"power through number"_ ... though the Nyds would win the competition handily.
I dont think he was a hero, he looked too simple, and a temple guard is still a saurus, I didnt think a saurus had the kind of strength to stop rat ogres.
Chipawapa Pretty sure it was a Saurus Old Blood which is one of leader units for the Lizardmen. Tbh seeing that made me more hyped for the Lizards than Skaven haha
For real, I've been telling that to people. I know so many people who tried to get into TT because of TW Warhammer and Vermintide and it's always like, "Where's Bretonnia? Poisoned Wind Globadiers?"
Destroy a whole franchise just before releasing something that makes it popular like never before. And of course, put a link in the game launcher to advertise something that doesn't exist anymore. GW, the misunderstood geniuses of marketing.
solwen They once proudly touted that they don't do any market research. :P (They also think that people buy their models just because they want to collect, not play the game. I wish I was making this up.)
Not to mention the time Blizzard were making an RTS game and asked GW for the rights to the Warhammer. GW refused and that game went on to be Warcraft. Imagine if GW had done some market research back then. End times was worse though, when GW stripped away the lore people started to realise that the rules were just not very good. Mostly because they are still a hang-over from D&D rules and not really designed for war gaming.
solwen So I was looking at this link and it seems like things have been getting better since the old CEO, Tom Kirby, stepped down. Even their stocks have risen.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think I saw some of the skaven getting run over and trampled by their own forces. If so that's some lore lore friendly stuff.
Tileans: We've been living next to Skavenblight for over two millennia. We not only survived, but we thrived. Our sewers are fortresses with gates, sluices, and everything else to make attacking from below a nightmare. Tilea will hold.
The thing I absolutely love about Skaven is their movement. They move like a liquid, flowing and skittering, I absoluteoly love how the Devs handled it, it's amazing...
It would appear the Skaven have as many casualties just reaching the enemy as in the fight itself in this trailer! Trampling their own warriors, and even the wagon squishing their own on that.... extremely awesome scene.
It could have been but Angrund, Sarsnik and skavenblight are all right next to each other. They will wipe each other out before even sending an army over there. I think they need to reposition skarsnik in eight peaks and maybe have angrund in Araby? If someone wants to fight in the currant mountains they can do so as the wood elves.
Seeing how the Skaven fought both the Lizardmen and Dark Elves. I think it makes sense for the High Elves to get the last one considering that they have the Vortex and are going to be fighting off the 3 other races.
It's probably going to be the launch trailer and feature them fighting all the other factions, like how this one has the Skaven fighting the Dark Elves and the Lizardmen.
Yeah I was personally expecting them to bring out the High elf trailer first, and keep this one until one week before the second game's release as a final nudge against the Hyper train to completely make the breaks useless.
I wish a RPG was made where you could play as a Skaven, and make your way from Clan Rat to the table of the Lords of Decay, with all the politics and backstabery that comes with that, oh and mutations we can't forget about mutations, the Horned Rat wouldn't be happy if we forgot, oh and eating of man-beasts, Man-made Curry with Rice taste like Chicken Curry with rice, I've beenreliably informed by a source :)
@@DzinkyDzink it would essentially be the lovechild of Bannerlord (when it releases out of E.A.) and Styx Shards or Darkness. And it would be possible, just that it might take close to a decade to finish. Hell by the time it would come out VR would be the default way to play games 😆
That’s the terrifying thing, they’re expendable due to the birth rate, yet their technology is lethal, the mutations are terrifying and formidable, and even just one of them has the potential to be lethal, and each fight has thousands.
Skavens. You can stop dark elves and you know, where they live. Also Malekith don't want to fight Teclis. Skavens are unstoppable. If you kill one on the battlefield, there will be ten more from the underground. And we cannot forget about their technology and monsters
@@pyrrusi6070 Skaven will most likely just kill you, or at the least, dont have the patience to draw it out. dark elves will make your death far, far, *far* more agonizingly painful. Also, skaven mages dont really compare to malekith and teclis.
@@lenkagamine4145 But skavens have far numbers than dark elves. If you destroy one army of dark elves, they will just stop. If you destroy 10 armies of skavens, they won't stop. They also have assassin's and better technology than dark elves, they don't need magic Also a big arsenal of plagues at their service
@@pyrrusi6070 dark elf armies have been destroyed myriad times. They didnt stop cause they were too stubborn. It is possible to stop the skaven too- Tehenhauin did it in lustria. Given a choice between skaven and dark elves, the skaven are still likely more militarily dangerous, but against the dark elves almost nobody stands a chance against any given warrior, and your death will be far, far, *far* more nightmarish. Plus, the dark elves are more likely to strike and withdraw with their slaving fleets, making them more of a constant threat.
Hype aside, not only am I happy they are finally announced, but that trailer did them some fantastic justice. Oh my goodness that Hellpit Abomination model is PHENOMENAL.
FamousDMagnificent they will probably have alot of stalk and vanguard units, so they will be all over the place. I'd imagine alot of dwarf players will be staying highly defensive, maybe throwing slayers or miners out to find units so the artillery can tear it up.
they are not that mobile, because they have no horsemans etc. But you are right, they have a overall nice movement speed and the fact that they can tank/overrun the dwarves with masses AND have the option of the greates (and mostly self destructivest) warmachines help them to split the armor of the dwarves.
It's going to be challenge on both sides, I personally always liked the versatile factions which can go either side, so they don't rely too much on one tactic.
Imagine a river after a heavy rain smashing into a dam. Now imagine that the river is carrying untethered underwater mines. That's what it's going to look like.
The Emperor Of Mankind I proclaim thee as false! Clearly you are a heretic in disguise. Purge thee, for thy name is Space Marine and my duty lies solely to the one true Emperor of mankind. The Emperor protects!
clearly skrolk and queek given how this is showing Clam Mors and Clan pestilens and it would seem more logical to add thanquol when the grand campaign arrives so they can start him in Skavenblight
If there is Thanquol then there should be Gotrek and Felix too, always pestering him, kill-killing his henchmen and failure-fail his grand plans. KILL-KILL
I have no idea if it's cannon, but I love the design. "You pump the bellows." "What happens if I stop?" "WE BOTH GO TO THE BAD PLACE SUDDENLY AND PAINFULLY."
Skeleton Wizard If I had to hazard a guess, the pump sends stimulants washing over the running rats that are powering the Doomwheel. (Yes, it is powered by drugged-up, running rodents.)
''They surged forward to enter the temple. Then, at the stroke of midnight, the great bell began to toll, once.... twice.... thrice. Slow, heavy waves of sound rolled across the city. Four... five... six times the bell rang, like the torpid pulse of a bronze giant. Seven... eight... nine, the rolling of the bell grew louder with each ring, and the manlings staggered back from the temple steps clutching their ears. Ten... eleven... twelve... thirteen. At the thirteenth stroke, lightning split the skies and thunder echoes through the night.,, -Doom of Kavzar
Though I am sure i'm not the first, it's amazing that you (Total War) make these trailers through the engine of the game. I'm ecstatic while watching these things and I admire that you have enough confidence in your game to show just how beautiful it is without having to rely on anything pre-rendered like so many other games do.
this trailer is too good to not come back to. To be honest, is still probably better than anything CA had come out with for WH3, even tho I can see this go tie with Kislev and Khorne trailers
I know right, he was strong enough to hold that first one back that it took a second Rat Ogre to kill him. Also loved seeing Queek Knife that Dark Elf general in the back, his maniacal laugh afterwards was epic. He shut the hell up when he saw that Black Dragon fly overhead Lol
Vermintide is an annual holiday for the Skaven, like Hexensnacht for the Vampires/Imperials. It's a feast day, and at one point a day chosen by the Council of Thirteen to conjure the Horned Rat himself in a successful attempt to alleviate the grueling Civil War the Skaven had been fighting for a couple hundred years at the time. The game takes its name from this.
10far2many the 13 bell rings actually means more than that, the origin of the skaven race was because some guy built an evil bell above s human settlement and it rang 13 times
Yeah, I meant that ringing the bell 13 times and that the Skaven were the 13th faction were cool because of how closely tied to the Skaven that number is, not just those two things in correlation. I'm not going to pretend to know a bunch about the lore though, but it is definitely all interesting.
Everyone say Skaven doesn't exist.....but you know every lie is based on true story, don't mind me I'm just a Empire citizen who's blabbering non sense.
More than three years on, and I'm sat here wondering: why didn't they do a Skaven Scribe reacts video to this trailer? Two and a half minutes of pure skaven hype, giddiness and cackling. They really should do more Skaven Scribe reacts, he could/should have his own channel.
Is Age of Sigmar terrible? I bought some beastmen years ago but never really got into it and now I'm thinking about coming back. I've heard beastmen are stronger in AoS than they were in WHFB but I've also heard the rules are dumbed down
Zander R It's not so much about the gameplay (though that is a factor for some) and more that GW literally obliterated the original Warhammer universe out of existence with some of the crappiest, most slap-dash writing in history in order to shit out a new universe they could copyright the fuck out of and use to get new people into the game.
Age of sigmar has dumbed down rules for normies to play from what I've heard, but to me that's not really the issue. the issue is instead of it being a medieval/renaissance world with fantasy elements, now it's just world of warcraft. Everyone is super magical, Slaanesh is gone, space marines are now in the game, all the elves are friends now and on and all to ever stretching heights of retardness. I hope it goes away and they announce "Classic warhammer reboot". I won't support a single thing from GW until they do (minus of course the odd video game)
AoS has nothing to do with Warhammer Fantasy, its an other (very shitty) world, with creepy scifi-Fantasy and Sigmarines, flying Dwarfes and such "funny" things. If you want to play Warhammer, play Fangames like 9th Age
In the old lore he went on a rampage through the Skaven's Empire and made it to the Hellpit itself, but he got bored and walked away after killing what he thought were the best warriors the Skaven had.
I was shocked when the doomwheels were shown (I didn't think they'd consider them "serious enough" to go in the game). I was fucking GOB-SMACKED when I saw the Hell-Pit Abomination. That blew my goddamn mind!
this trailer perfectly sums up the skaven it really show no matter how many you kill they just dont stop coming and it also shows there crazy tech and there horific monsters
Based on stats shown and the fact that the High Elves have 3 Dragons, that says enough. Dragons in these games so far have been absolutely useless and far from worth their cost both in campaigns and MP. High Elves have been made useless, and until that is remedied NOT by mods, but by CA, I have no interest in supporting the game.
Decrease your sodium intake, please. The Devs have stated that Dragon units will be getting a blanket buff with Total War: Warhammer 2, in the form of breath weapon attacks. They'll be able to do strafing runs on enemy units, bombarding them with these breath attacks too.
It actually makes sense lore-wise. Ulthuan is the continent with the least Skaven tunnels since it's protected by magic. (However, judging by the recent assassination of a High Elf wizard in this home that "lacked the usual signs of Dark Elf atrocity", that' about to change.) Naggaroth, however, is pretty thoroughly corrupted by Skaven tunnels. Not to the extent of the Old World or Lustria, but enough that full-scale wars between Dark Elf and Skaven do occur. Also, Malekith may want to put his invasion of Ulthuan on hold if someone convinced Clanlord Gnawdwell to send the Headtaker all the way to Naggaroth from Karak Eight Peaks. Seriously, if there's any rat that you do not mess with, it's Queek Headtaker.
Do you guys know how to block his channel from appearing in my suggested vids for all devices? I installed that extension for chrome but it of course it doesn't work for mobile.
Oooh, they could take a role similar to the Senate in Rome: Total War or the Pope in Medieval II: Total War, with the many skaven clans all trying to get more favour and more control of the Council through cunning back-stabbery. I don't know if they'll do that, but it would be damn cool if they did!
They most likely will have it to where you have to do what they tell you or risk losing the campaign by being disowned. Kinda like the book of grudges for dwarves
yea they had warpfire throwers, seem weird not to have the more famous brother. I think the only Skryre tech not going to show up is a warp-grinder. Simply because there not exactly great for total war type of game.
"AHAHAHAHAHHAHA GOOD!!!!! MORE RATS TO KILL BOYYYS !!!!! WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!" Grimgor Iron Hide when he saw this trailer.
Damn rats, you ain't taking my cheese. Also, Skaven better have legion of just garbage units, most of their army's are slave rats that tie down enemy units for the more "elite units".
Well it kind of depends on how they can be balanced to have fodder units if limited to the same 20 unit cap as everyone else. Probably going to end up being similar to VC in that their line troops are fodder but they rely more on the Monstrous units, Artillery, and Magic. Guess the big difference will be Skaven troops will actually have morale an be running away a lot lol.
Trailers tend to be rather... misleading but it did seem like a LOT of rats, the regiments could just have a crap load of units in them (outside of the elite units and whatnot).
1:35 *record scratch* *freeze frame* "Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how a powerful druchii like myself ended up skewered by an oversized rodent. Well it all started on a cold day in Naggarond..."
I CANT WAIT!!! As a Skaven player from Warhammer fantasy, they are just my race, my heart and I will rule the world with them! Everything will drown in the flood of claws, teeth, and bodies!
0:53 One of the Skavenslaves died. HOWEVER. There was no sign of him being shot or anything, so i am 95% sure he is faking it. CA really got Skaven right.
If you count the number of chimes up to the battle scene at 1:07, you'll notice it the bell tolls 13 times. Lovely touch~
The Great Horned Rat cometh...
After that the Skaven Tide comes.
Trazyn the Infinite; "Getting the f**king rid of this!" YEET
How many Skaven slaves does it take to carry a ratling gun? 50, 2 to carry it, 48 for target practice.
High Definition Apollo u know it s the type of joke that you can pretty much predict from the first line but you will still laugh
High Definition Apollo you are my kind of people
so u need only 2 skaven slaves to carry it
You're Ratcist
What do you mean? There is no such thing as Skaven, only heretics and chaos worshippers believe in skaven. So the answer of your question clearly is 0.
I love the almost horror movie feeling of this trailer.
Seeing them walk through the fog to the sound of bells ringing, the fact that both sides hit them with everything they have yet it seems like their numbers never end.
Probably the best trailer for a race in both games imo
Which is why the Empire forbids all knowledge of the ratmen.
Playing skaven is pretty much like a reverse horror movie.
@@QuestionableObject because YOU cause the horror.
the skaven are pure horror.
They don’t end and it’s irritating 😭
We are going to need a bigger mouse trap.

Rats.
For reals, which faction are you most hyped for? Gotta be Lizarmangs for me, followed by Skaven.
See what I did there? People say "rats' when they're disgruntled or outraged. And the Skaven are, quite simply, rats. It was a play on words.
The Skaven is by far GWs greatest achievement when it comes to fantasy its a race truly of their own and to this day is still their most unique and most well fleshed out race that they can call their own in the fantasy genre. To those who helped turn the skaven to what they are should be proud of this accomplishment. their visuals are completely their own and along with their society, religion to just how they speek and move its truly special.

Skaven always best! No-Furs not mighty-strong like Skaven! Always kill- smash the rest!
On this current year, the Skaven are copying Mickey Mouse
Skaven is cool-awesome, yes-yes. The only thing we didn't take over the world is we prefer to fight-murder each other!
Yes-yes!!
yeah, gw has something special with kroot but they decided to do barely anything with them, it's a shame
"The great bell began to toll; once, twice, thrice; the slow, heavy waves swept across the city, Four, five, six times the bell rang; like the torpid pulse of a bronze giant. Seven, eight, nine; the rolling of the bell grew louder with each ring and the man-lings staggered back clutching their ears. Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen..."
And the bell tolled 13 times
Bravo CA
Well spotted
Fuuuuuck, no way! No I have to watch it again and count!
its suposed to toll with that sound? i kinda remember reading somewere,they had 2 sound lik: "Magical cacophonies that sound to death and perdition for their enemies"

nice little effect having the bell ring 13 times!
;) someone else counted them
The HungryCub whats the significance?

The 'Council of Thirteen' is the Skaven leadership. The 13th position being an honorary position for the 'Horned Rat' the deity/god of the Skaven.
It shows that they care about the details! I like that.
Skaven, putting guardsmen to shame over how expendable they are.
are you sure mate?
The inquisition has probably laid exterminatus to over a thousand imperial worlds because there ''might'' be a heretic on it.
*edit*
Just noticed that the imperium nuking itself whenever it gets an itch isn't completly relevent since they aren't technically the IG....meh...
Boss0Nomaka oh, God I cant stop laughing about that. Nuking it's self whenever it itches. Why do I find that so funny?!?!
Because it's true.
Wait a second... did someone mention heresy? _EXTERMINATUS!!!_
Skaven breed as quickly as they die so you almost never run out of those verminous things. :/
That's not really a good comparison. Some regiments of guardsmen do treat their soldiers as cannonfodders, like the Death Korp of Krieg or the Steel Legion of Armageddon. But others do not afford that, such as the 1st and only of Tanith or the 8th of Cadia (yes, Creed do care about his men to use "expendable" tactics only as last resort.)

Waiting for the trailer analysis,way you go indie boy!

clicked fast-fast!
Seeing that Saurus stop a rat ogre in its tracks gives me newfound respect for the lizardmen.
It looked like either a Temple Guard or a Hero, like an Eternity Warden or Scar Vet
I dont think he was a hero, he looked too simple, and a temple guard is still a saurus, I didnt think a saurus had the kind of strength to stop rat ogres.

It's funny how we got the Skaven trailer before the high elf trailer.

there is it's called warhammer fantasy RPG, there are rules for playing a skaven so if you find a willing GM you can do just that

Her: "I have Warpstone."

Yes-yes.
I'm not sure what went wrong, why did Total War just upload a video of a black screen for two and a half minutes?

@@citus333 what woosh, I didnt see a joke there, do you? Go back to the line, Heretic.
@@picollojr9009 It's so obvious what is the joke about
@@tententononce2570 still, Shitty joke.
That’s the terrifying thing, they’re expendable due to the birth rate, yet their technology is lethal, the mutations are terrifying and formidable, and even just one of them has the potential to be lethal, and each fight has thousands.
Also who do you think is worse, Dark elves or Skaven?
Skavens. You can stop dark elves and you know, where they live. Also Malekith don't want to fight Teclis. Skavens are unstoppable. If you kill one on the battlefield, there will be ten more from the underground. And we cannot forget about their technology and monsters
@@pyrrusi6070 Skaven will most likely just kill you, or at the least, dont have the patience to draw it out. dark elves will make your death far, far, *far* more agonizingly painful. Also, skaven mages dont really compare to malekith and teclis.
@@lenkagamine4145 But skavens have far numbers than dark elves. If you destroy one army of dark elves, they will just stop. If you destroy 10 armies of skavens, they won't stop. They also have assassin's and better technology than dark elves, they don't need magic
Also a big arsenal of plagues at their service
@@pyrrusi6070 dark elf armies have been destroyed myriad times. They didnt stop cause they were too stubborn.
It is possible to stop the skaven too- Tehenhauin did it in lustria.
Given a choice between skaven and dark elves, the skaven are still likely more militarily dangerous, but against the dark elves almost nobody stands a chance against any given warrior, and your death will be far, far, *far* more nightmarish.
Plus, the dark elves are more likely to strike and withdraw with their slaving fleets, making them more of a constant threat.
Only a Skaven could out-sneak a Dark Elf
I told you they existed!
This is just silly heretical propaganda.
Damm they look like so much FUN
yes yes! man-thing speaks truth!
LIES
The horned rat calls!
Hype aside, not only am I happy they are finally announced, but that trailer did them some fantastic justice. Oh my goodness that Hellpit Abomination model is PHENOMENAL.
SweetChilliTom I'm glad that the rat ogres and rattling gun is in
*are in
The Ratling Gunner model is sick too. With the cylindrical, mesh-covered facemask. Really creepy looking.
SweetChilliTom I have to say all the models looking really good. Especially the hellpit abomination
Julian Swinton oh yeah it had the look of "End me!! Im eternally suffering!!" Which is perfect and made it all the better haha
Woah, the i never noticed the Beastmen are getting a extended expansion for Warhammer 2!
It's gonna be fun to see a highly mobile faction like the Skaven in battles against the Dwarves.
FamousDMagnificent they will probably have alot of stalk and vanguard units, so they will be all over the place. I'd imagine alot of dwarf players will be staying highly defensive, maybe throwing slayers or miners out to find units so the artillery can tear it up.
they are not that mobile, because they have no horsemans etc.
But you are right, they have a overall nice movement speed and the fact that they can tank/overrun the dwarves with masses AND have the option of the greates (and mostly self destructivest) warmachines help them to split the armor of the dwarves.
It's going to be challenge on both sides, I personally always liked the versatile factions which can go either side, so they don't rely too much on one tactic.
Imagine a river after a heavy rain smashing into a dam.
Now imagine that the river is carrying untethered underwater mines.
That's what it's going to look like.
Doom Flayers Doom Wheels kill-kill the fur faced man-thing!
This is GLORIOUS!!!
We must have Grey Seer Thanquol.........HE is a MUST HAVE.......do you hear me CA?
otniel zah I think it's lord skrulk and headtaker
The ritual video shows Tanquol, so yeah, we're getting him :P
You will be glad to hear that Thanquol and Queek were featured in the Ritual prize.
Booo on Lord Skrolk.. Thanquol on Boneripper is who the fans want :P
(We did see Queek Headtaker in the trailer though)
John West IV he was already confirmed in an earlier leak
Fake trailer, Skavens don't exist
True-True Man-Thing. True-True.
Must be the reason i can Play them ingame...
Smart LP ain't so smart.
Smart LP it’s a joke humans don’t even believe the Skavens exist in lore
No-no
"They do exist"
*Santa faints*
Redwall Abbey, eat-eat your heart out.
Martin the Warrior is certainly not Queek Headtaker.
Certainly, because Martin is not a Rat. :D
Timithias I think you'd be better off calling him Clooney
Now I'm definitely naming a Skaven hero Cluny the Scourge.
God dammit now there needs to be a giant wolverine leading the Skaven I needs me Gulo the Savage.
their 2nd LL is *biggie cheese*
The Emperor Of Mankind - Can't have him in the game. He'd be too OP.
The Emperor Of Mankind my lord this is HERESY
The Emperor Of Mankind I proclaim thee as false! Clearly you are a heretic in disguise. Purge thee, for thy name is Space Marine and my duty lies solely to the one true Emperor of mankind. The Emperor protects!
*WARP STORMS INCOMING*
The Emperor Of Mankind thank you God-emperor
Omg that hellpit abomination
Theres only one word to describe that beast: ADORABLE
i shall name him fluffy :D
I wanted to name it Mcsnuggles.
I read that with Rogal Dorn's voice.
Which is stronger He'll Pit Abomination or Giant?
clearly skrolk and queek given how this is showing Clam Mors and Clan pestilens and it would seem more logical to add thanquol when the grand campaign arrives so they can start him in Skavenblight
irshale never thought about that, makes a lot more sense to me. Is skrolk almost as powerful as thanqol?
I think so.... thanqol is the most powerful greysear, while skrolk is the most powerful plague priest
did they plan to add the Grand Campaign after the release of the game ?
if you own the first game and this you will get a greater Grand Campaign which have the maps from both games as one!
If there is Thanquol then there should be Gotrek and Felix too, always pestering him, kill-killing his henchmen and failure-fail his grand plans.
KILL-KILL
Ahhh the Doom Wheel! How satisfying
I have no idea if it's cannon, but I love the design. "You pump the bellows." "What happens if I stop?" "WE BOTH GO TO THE BAD PLACE SUDDENLY AND PAINFULLY."
Skeleton Wizard I can tell your canadian british or Australian
Skeleton Wizard If I had to hazard a guess, the pump sends stimulants washing over the running rats that are powering the Doomwheel. (Yes, it is powered by drugged-up, running rodents.)

Now that is what you call renewable energy :3
HELL PIT ABOMINATION BITCHES
1:14 Legendary lord General Grievous confirmed.
MY TALENTS ARE NEEDED!!!!
Oh i see what u did there, there is not so many rat Poisen, or u just Poisen the Steroids ;)
Rat Poison Yes-yes! Quick-scurry at once! Clan Eshin needs you!
''They surged forward to enter the temple. Then, at the stroke of midnight, the great bell began to toll, once.... twice.... thrice. Slow, heavy waves of sound rolled across the city. Four... five... six times the bell rang, like the torpid pulse of a bronze giant. Seven... eight... nine, the rolling of the bell grew louder with each ring, and the manlings staggered back from the temple steps clutching their ears. Ten... eleven... twelve... thirteen. At the thirteenth stroke, lightning split the skies and thunder echoes through the night.,,

Though I am sure i'm not the first, it's amazing that you (Total War) make these trailers through the engine of the game. I'm ecstatic while watching these things and I admire that you have enough confidence in your game to show just how beautiful it is without having to rely on anything pre-rendered like so many other games do.
It says something about the individual Lizardman Saurus warrior that at 1:32 a single Saurus war can hold a Rat Ogre twice its size at a standstill.
Anyone else here after the release of the TWWH 3 teasers awaiting the new trailers?
Cant wait for machine gunning rats to shoot slavic and chinese infantry
this trailer is too good to not come back to. To be honest, is still probably better than anything CA had come out with for WH3, even tho I can see this go tie with Kislev and Khorne trailers
More proof that Lizardmen are badass; that Oldblood was as strong as a Rat Ogre!
Kaleb Arnold Only-just for a bit-moment until he got killed-maimed by two-many Rat Ogres.
I know right, he was strong enough to hold that first one back that it took a second Rat Ogre to kill him. Also loved seeing Queek Knife that Dark Elf general in the back, his maniacal laugh afterwards was epic. He shut the hell up when he saw that Black Dragon fly overhead Lol
Yes, those dirty Skaven stabbed him in the back. If Lizardmen had grudges, they would be FILLED with rats (and Chaos).
+Kaleb Arnold Stronger by the looks of it since he managed to stop the charge completely.
True indeed :D
I hope there will be in-game reference to the vermintide game
WE RULE !!!
Misaki Mei maybe the characters will be added to the game as hero units
"Kik Rat Clan Aint nuttin to fuk wit"- Stormvermin marching song
Gotta get the Cousin Okri DLC first
Vermintide is an annual holiday for the Skaven, like Hexensnacht for the Vampires/Imperials. It's a feast day, and at one point a day chosen by the Council of Thirteen to conjure the Horned Rat himself in a successful attempt to alleviate the grueling Civil War the Skaven had been fighting for a couple hundred years at the time. The game takes its name from this.
That's so cool that the bell rang 13 times and that the Skaven were the 13th faction revealed. Good work, comment section, figuring that out!
10far2many the 13 bell rings actually means more than that, the origin of the skaven race was because some guy built an evil bell above s human settlement and it rang 13 times
Yeah, I meant that ringing the bell 13 times and that the Skaven were the 13th faction were cool because of how closely tied to the Skaven that number is, not just those two things in correlation. I'm not going to pretend to know a bunch about the lore though, but it is definitely all interesting.
funny thing is a bell is their religion
What in Hell did Clan Moulder make at the near the end ????
stormraven8484 hell pit abomination lmao
stormraven8484 and its a great story on how its made
I guess it is new or from age of Sigmar?
at least since 2010
It's not new or from age of sigmar. It was in the 7th edition book
Everyone say Skaven doesn't exist.....but you know every lie is based on true story, don't mind me I'm just a Empire citizen who's blabbering non sense.
More than three years on, and I'm sat here wondering: why didn't they do a Skaven Scribe reacts video to this trailer? Two and a half minutes of pure skaven hype, giddiness and cackling. They really should do more Skaven Scribe reacts, he could/should have his own channel.
I love how they still make warhammer fantasy games... after killing warhammer fantasy
As long as games like TWW exist, Warhammer Fantasy lives on. I pretend the End Times and Age of Sigmar never happened.
Is Age of Sigmar terrible? I bought some beastmen years ago but never really got into it and now I'm thinking about coming back. I've heard beastmen are stronger in AoS than they were in WHFB but I've also heard the rules are dumbed down
Zander R It's not so much about the gameplay (though that is a factor for some) and more that GW literally obliterated the original Warhammer universe out of existence with some of the crappiest, most slap-dash writing in history in order to shit out a new universe they could copyright the fuck out of and use to get new people into the game.
Age of sigmar has dumbed down rules for normies to play from what I've heard, but to me that's not really the issue. the issue is instead of it being a medieval/renaissance world with fantasy elements, now it's just world of warcraft. Everyone is super magical, Slaanesh is gone, space marines are now in the game, all the elves are friends now and on and all to ever stretching heights of retardness. I hope it goes away and they announce "Classic warhammer reboot". I won't support a single thing from GW until they do (minus of course the odd video game)
AoS has nothing to do with Warhammer Fantasy, its an other (very shitty) world, with creepy scifi-Fantasy and Sigmarines, flying Dwarfes and such "funny" things. If you want to play Warhammer, play Fangames like 9th Age
Devs, I am begging you, please make an officially generated Skaven Lord name "Cluny the Scourge."
Would be awesome with an added tail-weapon ability.
This trailer is so well done it gets me even more hyped for Skaven!
So pumped for this!!!
I know you
DA BOSS GRIMGOR WILL AV NO PROBLEM KILLIN THESE ZOGGIN RUNTS!
Philosophical Tech-Priest Engiseer He did not seem to have a problem slaughtering them by the thousands in the novels.
BOSS WE"VE LOST A POWER NODE!!!! Oh shizz bozz, wrong timeline!
Oy! You's Lot! We see's a bigga rat, you gets me a bigga boot!
In the old lore he went on a rampage through the Skaven's Empire and made it to the Hellpit itself, but he got bored and walked away after killing what he thought were the best warriors the Skaven had.
Chitter chitter, greenskins' for dinner!
1:31 seriously impressed that one saurus was able to fully stop a charging rat ogre with his bare hands
I know. Abject badass.
imagine the 'mad scientist' trope and then make it an entire faction, that's the Skaven.
Welcome to shocked people town!
Residents: 0
Now let's not be hasty.
How many people were expecting the Hell-pit puppy to show up?
I'm pretty shocked.
Gonad The Nomad hell pit got me shocked so i guess population: 1 ?
You would be surprised at how many people tought Skaven will not be one of the 4 races......
I was shocked when the doomwheels were shown (I didn't think they'd consider them "serious enough" to go in the game).
I was fucking GOB-SMACKED when I saw the Hell-Pit Abomination. That blew my goddamn mind!
pentraksil
After the rat at the end of the reveal trailer?
this trailer perfectly sums up the skaven it really show no matter how many you kill they just dont stop coming and it also shows there crazy tech and there horific monsters
YES. YES. YES.
0:47 I love this ominous scene
The elf girl is so adorable,I think it's time to bring back the marriege system.
She'll make mighty Sandwiches and offspring for my lineage.
pretty sure you dont want to be married with a dark elf
Xiran Liao but we have to spread pestilence.......
she already got Fuxxed behind by a rat though....
Stefan Werle don't be so sure dude. just don't be
*Queek Headtaker!!!*
The screaming bell rang exactly 13 times, great reference to the lore
One of CAs best trailers so far. Can't wait for the High Elves In-Engine trailer.
Huh? I don't see anything.
i only see a bunch of Dark Elfs and Lizardmen getting attacked by Beastmen.
It doesn't look like anything to me
ROUS there's no such thing.
Giant half Human Beasts? of course...
Half Naked Deamons? Seems legit to me...
Ratpeople? Youre crazy man!
i just see lizard men and dark elf's practising against rodent shaped dummies...
You have no idea how good it feels to see Queek shank a pointy eared git.
it's just isn't the same without High Elves dying :(
They're already nerfed into uselessness; they've had enough.
Based on stats shown and the fact that the High Elves have 3 Dragons, that says enough. Dragons in these games so far have been absolutely useless and far from worth their cost both in campaigns and MP. High Elves have been made useless, and until that is remedied NOT by mods, but by CA, I have no interest in supporting the game.
BOBOFSAGGET The game isnt out yet though
Decrease your sodium intake, please. The Devs have stated that Dragon units will be getting a blanket buff with Total War: Warhammer 2, in the form of breath weapon attacks. They'll be able to do strafing runs on enemy units, bombarding them with these breath attacks too.
It actually makes sense lore-wise. Ulthuan is the continent with the least Skaven tunnels since it's protected by magic. (However, judging by the recent assassination of a High Elf wizard in this home that "lacked the usual signs of Dark Elf atrocity", that' about to change.)
Naggaroth, however, is pretty thoroughly corrupted by Skaven tunnels. Not to the extent of the Old World or Lustria, but enough that full-scale wars between Dark Elf and Skaven do occur.
Also, Malekith may want to put his invasion of Ulthuan on hold if someone convinced Clanlord Gnawdwell to send the Headtaker all the way to Naggaroth from Karak Eight Peaks. Seriously, if there's any rat that you do not mess with, it's Queek Headtaker.
skaven? who would have thought !
Arch Warhammer immediately senses a change in the winds of magic
And presumably whines like a little bitch over the Skaven's fur being a shad to dark.
Do you guys know how to block his channel from appearing in my suggested vids for all devices? I installed that extension for chrome but it of course it doesn't work for mobile.
So he can start getting all the lore about the skaven wrong all over again?
LMFAO
Nope. You will hear him moan and grunt and moan some more sensually for one hour.
Wonder if we'll see the council of the 13? That would be awesome
Oooh, they could take a role similar to the Senate in Rome: Total War or the Pope in Medieval II: Total War, with the many skaven clans all trying to get more favour and more control of the Council through cunning back-stabbery.
I don't know if they'll do that, but it would be damn cool if they did!
Hamsterloki and if thry get enough favor/control then it could trigger the end game
That's why i guess Skavenblight won't be a settlement or won't be ownable by the player.
They most likely will have it to where you have to do what they tell you or risk losing the campaign by being disowned. Kinda like the book of grudges for dwarves
Skavenblight (Blight Marshes province) is already on the first total war map.
That hellpit vs dragon fight... more please.
WHAT? NO RATLING GUN?
im pretty sure i saw one in there though it may have been in the background.
i bet you my pet rats that they are in the game just not in the trailer
yea they had warpfire throwers, seem weird not to have the more famous brother.
I think the only Skryre tech not going to show up is a warp-grinder. Simply because there not exactly great for total war type of game.
we'll get the roster tomorrow dont worry if when get hellpit abom we'll get ratling gun
draconianwarking it's at 1:23
"AHAHAHAHAHHAHA GOOD!!!!! MORE RATS TO KILL BOYYYS !!!!! WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!"
Grimgor Iron Hide when he saw this trailer.
More like this hahaha gud more rat men ta butcha boyz
I have to say, every faction has something spectacular. But oh man, when i see an elven unit in formation moving all together i love it!!
I've watched this video an unhealthy amount of times to say the least. Needless to say pause at 1:21 a gutter runner is charging into the dark elves.
Damn rats, you ain't taking my cheese. Also, Skaven better have legion of just garbage units, most of their army's are slave rats that tie down enemy units for the more "elite units".
I'm assuming Skaven are going to be a bit like Vampire Counts, but instead of slow undead cannon fodder, its fast rat cannon fodder.
Slave rats that tie down enemy units to get shot by weapons teams
It's like Vampire Counts zombies if VC also had artillery
Don't worry, they'll eat your face before eating your cheese.
Well it kind of depends on how they can be balanced to have fodder units if limited to the same 20 unit cap as everyone else. Probably going to end up being similar to VC in that their line troops are fodder but they rely more on the Monstrous units, Artillery, and Magic. Guess the big difference will be Skaven troops will actually have morale an be running away a lot lol.
Trailers tend to be rather... misleading but it did seem like a LOT of rats, the regiments could just have a crap load of units in them (outside of the elite units and whatnot).
1:35
*record scratch*
*freeze frame*
"Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how a powerful druchii like myself ended up skewered by an oversized rodent. Well it all started on a cold day in Naggarond..."
I still come back for this trailer from time to time
FINALLY
"The final army listings have not yet been ratified".
......
Yup.
The pure joy in my heart at seeing the Doomwheel in action.
Also, QUEEK HEADTAKER UP IN THIS HOUSE HOUSE!
These trailers and the build up to Total War Warhammer 2 was so hype I can't wait for the Game 3 trailers to start rolling out
Their were exactly 13 bell rings nice touch
I feel embarrassed that I had no idea this existed... and it's from 2017 no less!!
Therapist: Don't worry the skaven aren't real, they can't hurt You...
The skaven:
Skaven have come a long way since this trailer.
The hell pit abomination. One of the few things capaable of pimp slapping a dragon.
I CANT WAIT!!!
As a Skaven player from Warhammer fantasy, they are just my race, my heart and I will rule the world with them! Everything will drown in the flood of claws, teeth, and bodies!
0:53 One of the Skavenslaves died. HOWEVER. There was no sign of him being shot or anything, so i am 95% sure he is faking it. CA really got Skaven right.
He was overun.
