  • These were the last writings of Doctor Felix Liebkpsen, in a letter sent to his teacher days before going mad and being jailed for heresy, disappearing shortly thereafter. The only thing found on his cell were rat feces and claw marks.

      He picked up the casket and walked towards the warpdrive, slowly melting away as he did so and when he had finally emptied the casket of fuel for the warp drive, the tech priest would read out his name in a prayer to the Machine God.

      I understand I really do hope that wanting the future creative assembly will add the vermin Lords aka the scaven demon armies to Total war Warhammer but you got a point we may have to just wait and see until that happens if any information comes out, and I can't wait to see the video you make about the skaven and their demon armies aka the vermin Lords and whatever else they have I'm sure that's going to be exciting but you're right we need to wait until after creative assembly add them in the game then do some research on them.

    *My Headcanon:*
    The Great Horned Rat was an Old One. An Old One who for one reason or another, was responsible for the collapse of the Polar Gates. (One reason to gain power over his kin or sabotage their project out of envy.) He may or may not have driven most of the Old Ones away, while letting the Daemons scour and rid the world of his brethren’s creation.
    Afterward, he’d clean-up the mess and make the world in his own image with his newfound power (from absorbing fragments from the other Four Ruinous Powers), with a race of his own making.
    It almost worked out, but not quite. Though he would still conquer the world with his own race, later on.
    He would create/uplift the Skaven as he saw how resilient, versatile, and quickly reproducing rats could be. Indeed, he would switch his image to becoming that of a Great Horned Rat.
    Because in many ways, he was just like them.
    That’s just my headcanon anyways.

    Woah!! You're taking on a real mouthful on this one. The Great Horned One has very little requests upon his subjects. He only asks they do as they always have. Breed, thrive and consume. His missives have no problem in eating thier own kin ergo, he is onto an absolute winner!

      In MP you have to build quite a bit different than you would in SP. But if you want to defeat your opponent by drowning them in Skavenslave corpses, you can. Just bring artillary or weapons teams so you can nuke them. And your opponent's army, of course.

    I personally think that the horned rat is the most unique god in all of warhammer. Both in fantasy and 40k (yes the skaven also exist in 40k and that's really worrying considering how absolutely powerful they already are in fantasy). It has its own twisted but simple agenda and its own dimension or reality. It's neither a chaos god nor a old one, it's an independent and incredibly mysterious deity.

    We encanta este tipo de videos. La voz, atmósfera y música. *Beso de Chef* perfecto y más si lo ves solo en la oscuridad.
    En mi teoría sobre la Great Horned Rat siempre pensé que este era un demonio que nació entre los reinos de Nurgle y Tzeench por eso vemos su habilidad de planear y su favoritismo por usar armas biológicas. También aplicó esta teoría con Hashut la deidad de los Enanos del Chaos, que si no fuera por que usa magia el podría ser uno de los grandes demonios de Khorne, por eso pienso que Hashut también es un híbrido entre Khorne y Tzeench. Pero esas solo son mis teorías.

    I remember talking with someone who worked at GW, and they said that the Horned Rat was born from a mingling of Tzeentch and Nurgle's energies. So there's a solid chance Papa Nurgle and Tzeentch had a fling at some point.

      why don't they Just do that with anything? Chaos gods are repell each other in their core, though they kind of blend in together at the edges, and they aren't exactly human, they aren't conscious like us to be capable of cooperating só easily with each other towards a "greater goal"

    • @DeusExAngelo
      @DeusExAngelo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do too, and in fact how many of them are real, have physical forms, or are simply concepts. (Barring the Chaos Gods.)
      I also wonder how many of them are in fact, Old Ones who stayed behind and rebranded/remade themselves as the Gods of various pantheons.
      I mean in TW3, Ursun has a physical form alongside his vast divine powers. Unlike other creatures of Chaos, he doesn’t just dissolve back into the Aethyr, he leaves behind physical remains. Physical remains that still have incredible power imbued in them.
      As why the Chaos Gods don’t do more? They are in a weird and chaotic relationship with one another. Arguably they can’t outright destroy each other because they are in fact, all interconnected. For all their differences, they have many overlaps in their domain and desires. It’s why they can all select a champion like Archaon or Be’Lakor before him.
      As for the other gods? It’s hard to say. Likely due to divine politics and also the fact if they went war with one another, it could weaken them against the Chaos Gods. Plus, Gods actively directly battling each other in person could shatter reality…so better to have proxies with a smidgen of their power handle that. That is, if they had to fight at all.
      This also just conjecture and headcanon on my part though.

    I am very excited to see the skaven in Warhammer 3 but sadly creative assembly did not speak about the skaven demon armies such as the vermin Lords and I know they have them but I don't know when they're going to come out with them if there's any information you can give out about the skaven and their demon armies that would be very appreciated also if you could do a video about the Roman Lords as well that might give creative assembly an idea that the customers and The gamers such as us want them to get to work on them.

    We probably wont' know 100%, but my head canon is that all the deities are represented in realms of "chaos" and that they all fight for territory. How it all function is irrelevant. Considering how numerous the great horned rat worship is...I imagine he is fairly sizable.
