While dying from Clan Pestilens does sound horrifying, I might argue that the fates suffered by Clan Moulder slaves to be a bit worse, particularly in Hell Pit. "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" levels of worse.
5:34 - You know, conversely, Skrolk didn't claw out his eyes when he saw the Arch-Plaguelord because he was appalled, but because he was _overjoyed._ He didn't want to see anything again after having laid eyes upon something so magnificent. He _willingly_ blinded himself so the last thing he saw (at least with his original, flesh-and-blood eyes) was his master, the greatest personification of the Horned Rat's corruption he'd ever seen.
All the wikis on Skrolk say that he clawed his eyes out because the Arch-Plaguelord was so perfect he didn't want to see anything else - not the case? I guess maybe it is just a different way of saying the same thing.
I thought the reason Skrolk pulled his eyes out was because he was so turned on by the wretched sight of his boss that he wanted it to be the last thing he ever saw. Not that he was horrified.
As a side note, Emperor Mandred Skavenslayer saved the empire from the invasion, after his corrupted, uncaring predecessor succumbed to the black death (his apothecaries didn't try to hard to save him).
היטלר לא עשה שום דבר רע So... how 'bout those plague rats? *Finger on Exterminatus button in case someone gets any ideas* Hilarious creatures, aren't they? *Caressing red button with finger* I hear they can be... difficult to reason with... *Running finger around perimiter of button* We wouldn't want to trouble the Inquisition though, would we? *Doing not okay things to button with finger* Would we? *Please no* Can't have the Inquisition getting rowdy now, can we? *Why* Can't have any of those hatted-folk interfering with the Emperor's will... *Why you do this* Riiiiiiight...?
I think Clan Pestilens worships Nurgle in the same way a lot of Norscans do, they might pretend (or outright believe) that they worship an aspect of the Horned Rat, but it's the same things when, say, Norscan worshippers of Tzeentch claim that they worship "The Crow". It's essentially a semantics issue.
I figure that the horned rat started out as a daemon of Nurgle that helped clan pestilence during the war with the lizard men and in turn gained worship of his own, which increased his power and shaped him into a reflection of his followers.
The only 2 people I trust Wahammer or 40k lore from is Arch and Luetin. I've watched videos by other channels that either glss over fucktons of shit or just whitewash it completely. Like a video on Konrad Curze I watched where they basically painted him as a fucking fallen hero rather than as a mass murdering sociopath.
1 bit you got wrong. He gouged his own eyes out because he thought the arch plaguelord was the image of perfection, and everything else he saw just pissed him off at that point
The witch-hunters are getting more and more lenient, they allowed arch to speak for 5 seconds or more after pointing a gun to his head. Arch, you better teach them the proper way to do there job.
I completely forgot that originally listening to all your warhammer lore vids was how i found you then suddenly you and Sargon were talking and suddenly Deus Vult
Cool vid! I like the way u describe what happends to victims of the plagues like their intestines dripping out theyre arses ;p. Plz arch i want a lot more lore vids out of u and some wh2 lets plays asap!
By about 45 seconds...more or less. Nurgle loves that Skaven. | 4:40 - Yeah, he can't be the worse as long as his boss is still alive. | 6:20 - I can imagine that's entertainment for them, some captive dying of a slow agonizing disease and a load of them just watch and laugh their tails off. | 7:34 - Having a healing factor helps with that. | 10:04 - Yes, we know it's not THAT...it's actually that which the Council of Thirteen told them to shove up their own rears at one point. (e.g. during the Clan Eshin lore video)
Well... The Skaven do actually state that Skrolk clawed his own eyes out because he didn´t want to see anything other than Nurglitch ever again, so maybe he was not that disgusted...
Toketeus You underestimate Lord Arch. I'm sure he... Random voice: "Our general has fallen!" ... Ahhhhhh... ffffffffffuck... *Phone noises* Yeah... Abhorash? They just fucking did it again... uh-huh... yeah... no, he's totally dead. Voice and everything... Well, can you deal with it...? Okay... yeah... There's a fucking fist-sized hole in his head... okay. Yeah. Okay. See ya. *Phone noises* *Gross-sounding sniffling because cold* Okay... now we just need to find this sonofabitch a new body... again... fucking idiot can't stop pissing on the Inquisition's damn face... *Untranslatable grumbling*
Someday, I will learn NOT to just sit down and click on a video over dinner. At 4:00 in I was setting the plate aside and thinking 'Yeah...we'll do food later.'
I thought Skrolk clawed his eyes out because he thought Nurglitch was divine and didn't want to "taint" his vision of Nurglitch, as nothing would be as beautiful.
As much as we would All like to see the Skaven in WH40K (and they still might be parleyed on via some other xenos species), I am thoroughly convinced the Skaven would off themselves from simply infighting. What would be interesting though is despite Skaven activities and behaviors, Chaos barely wants anything to do with them. The motivations behind their actions and behaviors are not actually Chaotic. But My own head canon on Space Skaven is simply they are mutant rats that grew up in the shadow of Humanity across the universe and have started to assert themselves. The are more a menace to Hive cities and worlds that roaming open space.They are still evolving and developing very quickly. If they ever figure out how to fly, the horde will spread and combine.
What would happen if clan pestilence went up against the followers of Nurgle? I know you said they have a few trick plagues that even the followers of Nurgle with all those STD's that grandpa Nurgle himself has blessed upon his kids can't withstand, But surely the vast majority of them would laugh until they'd burst every cyst on their bodies. And i can't imagine even the most grizzled of veterans in clan pestilence's army has much of a chance against a chaos warrior of Nurgle dressed in full chaos plate armor.
If a skaven saw lord Skrolk he’d commit at the sight of him and Skrolk would them proceed to prance in the showers of vomitus coming from all of the surrounding skaven.
Ah, the reference of Crotchrot... I guess he has Entropy plague that cause worm like appendages from pus filled wounds to replace his STD ridden ding-a-ling whenever it falls off over and over again..
So I wached/ listened to your vidoes all day while playing CK2 Geheimnisnacht (I didn't know much about Warhammer as of this morning) - I got the feeling you either a bit biased or just enjoyig the Skaven too much :)
The Rat king has return to spread his wisdom of lore, knowledge and possibly back stab us when we are not looking to loot and steal our shit for his own possible gain.
While dying from Clan Pestilens does sound horrifying, I might argue that the fates suffered by Clan Moulder slaves to be a bit worse, particularly in Hell Pit. "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" levels of worse.
Let's do a compromise: It's equally bad
let's do another they get worse if you do both just throw some clan pestilens fowlness to the hell bit sounds way worse
Meh Duncare l
Meh Duncare l
Hmmmm, what would happen if you would combine Hell pit abomination with clan Pestilens wonderful, wonderful diseases?

I've always wondered if Skrolk secretly plays patty-cake with Papa Nurgle, whilst telling the Great Horned Rat..."We're just friends"!
That made me laugh too much.
the great horned rat is skrolk's dad and nurgle is his fun uncle who he wants to be like when he grows up
All the wikis on Skrolk say that he clawed his eyes out because the Arch-Plaguelord was so perfect he didn't want to see anything else - not the case? I guess maybe it is just a different way of saying the same thing.
That just sums up Skrolk's fantastic fanaticism beautifully
skrolk: *sees the Arch-Plaguelord*
Skrolk: GET THIS SHIT OFF ME
Oh, come on, what else would he say? You can't admit to being disgusted by the most filthy rat in the Underempire while being his subordinate!
@@MythosTheSophist Makes too much sense.
It’s canon. I just read that in TWW2
I thought the reason Skrolk pulled his eyes out was because he was so turned on by the wretched sight of his boss that he wanted it to be the last thing he ever saw. Not that he was horrified.

If you assume the Black Death is a heavy object and his doktor just watched, you are quite right.
Tarlock oof that’s the big spoiler
I wonder what race Arch is gonna play for his let’s play.
*squeak* *squeak*
Nurgle skavens? Nothing out of the ordinary, move along.
היטלר לא עשה שום דבר רע רציני ?
It was supposed to be a joke about rats and diseases, a pity you didnt catch it.
היטלר לא עשה שום דבר רע are you sure that's what he-I mean... I'm not even sure it can even be reasoned with on a human level
היטלר לא עשה שום דבר רע
So... how 'bout those plague rats?
*Finger on Exterminatus button in case someone gets any ideas*
Hilarious creatures, aren't they?
*Caressing red button with finger*
I hear they can be... difficult to reason with...
*Running finger around perimiter of button*
We wouldn't want to trouble the Inquisition though, would we?
*Doing not okay things to button with finger*
Would we?
*Please no*
Can't have the Inquisition getting rowdy now, can we?
*Why*
Can't have any of those hatted-folk interfering with the Emperor's will...
*Why you do this*
Riiiiiiight...?
I read thatr with Stewie Griffin's voice when he talks about Brian's novel
*stab*
*gouge*

Oh Arch, never change.

so... He is litteraly the Lord of the NOPE ?
Lore for the Lore God! Spines for the Arch!

love your work arch
Kenneth Sejr Hansen they will do what I tell them to do
Fact Sphere: R-r-r-rats cannot throw up.
I'm a simple man. I see a lore video by Arch, and I immediatelly click to watch.
You see a shitty phrase, you copy it.
Gabriel Perrella more or less the same
my god that ending, was genius.
Great Vid as always Arch
Why did i decide to eat while watching this?
Yea i was eating chips and drinking soda, and sense it did not make me stop i'm starting to Think i'mma desgusting slob. xD
Man i fcking adore your videos they are so funny and that value of informations and details. Love it.

I'm here to get down with you again.
Get down with the sick memes!
Matt it’s disease time
@@HeronSight I'm seeing this FAR too late in my life
Just here to give my appreciation to Arch and his abnormal but not unwarranted obsession for Skaven.
Ngl that Powerpuff girl comparison made me laugh for a good five minutes.

Well I know what race I'm playing first.
Nice, I'm going to play high elves too :-)

That sounds heretical.
I love these Lore Vids they are so good, and no adverts midway make them the perfect audio book to nod off to!
Skavens from Clan Pestilens. You can smell them before you see them.
Ahhhh this brings back memories of when Gotrek and myself went up against the vile ratman Thanquol! Sigmar take him and all his vile race!!!! 🔨
Haha
I am quite excited about your coverage of twwh2, starting with this vid!
good video Arch
Chris Calvin like a skaven hitting a button for a rat pellet!

Another excellent lore video from you Arch. Again, hilariously informative!
MISTER ARCH I THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR VIDEOS I DO ENJOY THE LORE. IT MAKES FOR A WONDERFUL BACKDROP. KEEP THEM COMING.
I liked that ending arch, with the gun click, nice touch man!
Arch , that ppg joke was the worst yet. Good job.
?
Bloody love this guy and the way he presents his videos
I think the fact that rats can’t vomit makes this even more unsettling.
1 bit you got wrong. He gouged his own eyes out because he thought the arch plaguelord was the image of perfection, and everything else he saw just pissed him off at that point
I am listening to this while waiting in the hospital to check out an infected wound that might claim my leg.
Fitting I guess :P
Did everything go well?
The witch-hunters are getting more and more lenient, they allowed arch to speak for 5 seconds or more after pointing a gun to his head.
Arch, you better teach them the proper way to do there job.
I completely forgot that originally listening to all your warhammer lore vids was how i found you then suddenly you and Sargon were talking and suddenly Deus Vult
Cool vid! I like the way u describe what happends to victims of the plagues like their intestines dripping out theyre arses ;p. Plz arch i want a lot more lore vids out of u and some wh2 lets plays asap!
One of the funniest videos yet Arch
Arch reviewing the original Willard would be mint.
wasn't the reason he clawed his eyes out, after he saw Arch-Plaguelord Nurglitch, that he didn't want any other vision ruin his glimps of "perfection"
That was actuaaly bretty good.

So you are now some official arch mascot ? O_o well in any case.... DEUS VULT
why are you in every arch video as of late...?
Alright Skaven lore video right on time, yay!
Rats dont puke, they simply can't.
Skrorlk Literally is the embodiment of social distancing safety
How does Skrolk's Rod of Corruption compares to Nurglitch's Bubonic Scepter?
Well arch tells us that the rowdy rough boys are in skrulks stick
another Lord video another masterpiece !
It was, is and hopefully will be a word.
do Queek Headtaker
Or Grey Seer Thanquol
Well... The Skaven do actually state that Skrolk clawed his own eyes out because he didn´t want to see anything other than Nurglitch ever again, so maybe he was not that disgusted...
Great vid, would love a lore vid about Kroq-Gar as well!
Fucking hell that ending was gold
Loved that bit at the end, hopefully Arch can out run the inquisition.

where we're going we won't need eyes to see
That was a very nice ending
Skaven campaign needs to be a lore play. Skaven lore as much as possible
Hey Arch....just asking will you make a video on each unit from the 40k, just like you did years ago to the warhammer fantasy?
Is your ending music from Dwarf Fortress Soundsense?
If a skaven saw lord Skrolk he’d commit at the sight of him and Skrolk would them proceed to prance in the showers of vomitus coming from all of the surrounding skaven.
Oh. It's old lore Trundle!
Seriously arch how do I support you love your videos
Don't worry Arch, rats can't puke
what awesome artwork
Well, now we know which character Arch will be doing a let's play of....
If I was immortal, I'd become a plague priest
ffs Arch damn you make these lore vids funny as fuck
Ah, the reference of Crotchrot...
I guess he has Entropy plague that cause worm like appendages from pus filled wounds to replace his STD ridden ding-a-ling whenever it falls off over and over again..
Hey Man do you recommend any Warhammer books? anything that covers the individual races fighting.
chants: more lore more lore
Arch....i need more skaven lore videos!!!!!!😁😁
Hey Arch. You'll love Total Warhammer 2. Especially when it turns into Vermintide...
You got his reason for gouging out his own eyes a bit wrong :P
15 minutes? *HERESEY*
I know a lot of people don’t like Nurgle but he’s my favorite Chaos god haha
I'm sorry but the chaos god ranking is of course
1) Gork and Mork
2) Tzeentch
3) Khorne
4) Slaanesh
5) Nurgle
Actually i lied, i'm not sorry^^
