I maintain a stance I’ve had for a while: The Skaven have cyborgs, the Skaven have ninjas, what the Skaven really need to push them to the next level are cyborg ninjas.
As a Kharadron player, I hope that the Skavendoom and the Hour of Ruin brings an opportunity for a new unit that is aimed towards shock assaults and melee for more gameplay variety than "shoot them off the point"! Skywardens and Endrinriggers only go so far but how about a ground infantry squad that's more elite than Arknauts and sent in to secure beachheads? Maybe using steampunk power suits like we have in Soulbound (the Gholem rig in Steam & Steel)? The Hour of Ruin is as good a time as any to introduce some recently developed technology from the Tech Faction!
I always wanted clockwork robots for the KO. Who can be launched from their ships, hit the ground, unfold themselves and immediatly start the battle. Like the Geth from Mass Effect
Im hoping this hour of ruin. The second age of chaos new factions emerge. Im personally hoping for the return of the chaos dwarves and maybe new Fyreslayers or dispossessed forces
Fighting in dark tunnels of Skaven city? Hells, there will be so good scenarios for Warcry Also "First tobe forged, never to fail!" ruination reinforcements incoming into my army
So excited for my Nul Myriad Bonereapers to finally have a line to defend. Nagash has the opportunity to interfere against Chaos and shake up the status quo even further.
Good stuff Doug! I'd love to see what the other factions are up to. Gloomspite Gitz and Tzeentch. Tzeentch because while we got some cool lore events for them around the time of Dawnbringers book 5, I think we need a bit more if Chaos is taking center-stage. I'll also admit my bias, I want a big range expansion for Arcanites, like what Slaanesh got at the end of 2nd edition.(gimme a proper heavy melee infantry GW!) And I want to see what Gitz are up to, because after one of the Dawnbringer Chronicles short stories, Skragrott *personally* declared war on the Skaven after one of them set fire to his Fungal Asylum. I want to see the fallout of these factions known for being these massive, unending hordes primarily composed of weedy cowards or slightly hapless, but ultimately clever and creative backstabbing schemers going out of their way to clash on open ground. They're truly two sides of the same coin, and I'd love to see the insane shenanigans that result from their direct conflict.
I love the skaven as a chaos faction simply for how hopelessly hilariously evil they are. They're like an entire race of lab rats which is what i have loved about them since day one of my fandom .
If this is Chaos vs Everyone it would be nice to see Destruction and Death get some center stage rather than just running order vs chaos back again with Order having loss after loss until some 11th hour turnaround. Nagash has a bit of a grudge against Skaven. And someone mentioned Gloomspite being on the warpath against them.
Fingers crossed for some new kruleboyz units. I would love some mounted gnashtoof units other than just the killaboss. Or even a pack of smaller gnashtoofs like the grifhounds from the stormcast line.
Chaos dwarf are comiiiiiiing. Page 132 of rulebook when they talk about the chaos gods, in the bottom of the page...: "In the deeper darkness ring the hammers of Hashut." 😮
When Tzeentch does start to make moves it should be lead by a new named mortal character as only Daemons have been getting noticed. Kind of cheating but I think Thomin from WHFB would be good as when we last saw him he was the one taking control. So a character with a past that people will know but didn't get to do anything. Yes there is the Curseling mini but he could have then used magic to change Vilitch so he is something new. Really as you put though need to see actually movement by the Chaos God's forces, and they should have a face to the main movements.
You should an end times into AoS series I'm still super confused on the whole multiple realms thing I genuinely have trouble following the lore at times
And now to the bad news: if I understood correctly, then according to today’s free files for AoS4, I’m really fucked with “Legends” rules: there are not and will not be any Greenskins, Phoenixes, etc. In short, if the miniature has _live_ game, then for other systems there will not even be legends of the rules! I.e in fact, models of one system are categorically banned in others. That is, I have tons of vintage fantasy miniatures on round bases and adaped for the Mortal Realms, and GW now tells me to go play the Old World? Let GW go to hell...! Let's see how 40k players sing when the Leman Rus tank is removed from the Imperial Guard army and left only for the Solar Auxillia in in the Horus Heresy!
First lore thing I watch from you guys and also the last. You have the wrong voice for this. It doesn’t sound right 😐 Your AoS battlereports are the best on TH-cam and I watch those. Can’t be great at everything 😕
Forces of Order: “Oh no!”
Skaven: “Oh yes-yes!”
Ogors: “Oh, food!”
Serahpon:Oh yes, MORE SACRIFICE FOR SOTEK!!
Kool-aid man: OH yea!

Next step is Metal Gear Skaven

That would be pretty interesting to see units that are more specialised in melee/ close quarters for the KO.
I always wanted clockwork robots for the KO. Who can be launched from their ships, hit the ground, unfold themselves and immediatly start the battle. Like the Geth from Mass Effect
I just want more KO
Everyone loves Slaven! You can see it an across the board as all the painting show are leading with Skaven. You are spot on!
Im hoping this hour of ruin. The second age of chaos new factions emerge.
Im personally hoping for the return of the chaos dwarves and maybe new Fyreslayers or dispossessed forces
Malarions Umbraneth and Hashuts Duardin are my wishlist
Yea fyreslayers need more variety.
I want to see kurnothi too
I hope we get Chaos Dwarves again. I’d like to see the White Dwarf make an appearance too if they return maybe a campaign around that would be cool
@@peppermurphy6186 a dwarf campaign of all the factions working together agiasnt the chaos dwarves would be epic.
I'm hoping Grungni finally gets hands on with the mortal realms and we get a godly flying forge center piece model for KO!
Fighting in dark tunnels of Skaven city? Hells, there will be so good scenarios for Warcry
Also "First tobe forged, never to fail!" ruination reinforcements incoming into my army
Yesss
I think it might be set in the ruin city of emberguard, since that place had the locals go mad, and large tunnels.
So excited for my Nul Myriad Bonereapers to finally have a line to defend. Nagash has the opportunity to interfere against Chaos and shake up the status quo even further.
nagash putting on his best armor to lose whatever fight he gets into
Nagash’s true greatest enemy, random Skaven bs. Lmao

Oh nice! I’m glad we finally have some lore for the new edition

I know it’s a minor thing but I love the background music you chose!
Loving all the Skaven stuff in AOS.
The 2nd age of Chaos - may it continue for many years
Fingers crossed for some new kruleboyz units. I would love some mounted gnashtoof units other than just the killaboss. Or even a pack of smaller gnashtoofs like the grifhounds from the stormcast line.
Hey brother just wanted to say thanx for providing family friendly and easy to understand content.
The fact this video isn't an hour long is upsetting
Ghur the skaven wouldn't last long there because the Ironjawz would whip their azz
Verminous Legions Rise!
How long until we see a Skaven achieve apotheosis and become a Daemon Prince of the Horned Rat?
A vermin lord

Excuse my ignorance but you speaking on Blight City made me wonder what happened to ol' Skavenblight?
Do a aos Alamo but add in Gotrek.
RatJAM
👍
the more i hear about rat boys the more i think gw took the things they liked about them and smashed them into greenskins to make the 40k orks lol
