Age of Sigmar Lore: Clans Verminus

[@Xardaras]

I just love stormvermin, they are so intimidating and badass, their halberds are awesome, the armor so crude, just love it!

[@jozefkeresturi2139]

9:25 look at my boy Queek, now just a generic lord

[@rflores3603]

Yep, he was unique just like every skaven lord but now? Just generic lords.

[@sarahhillary7698]

Jozef Keresturi Queek Head Taker is no mere lord! He is is greatest warrior of all Skaven kind! Yes yes

[@Jatte92]

But didn't he die in the end times?

[@czairkolmoslink5952]

What if we just change Queeks model into a a unit of his children, they are not as strong as him but they have grown up taking to skulls and became more powerful than stormvermin. There would be a good amount sense skeven bread a lot and it's been a lot time sense his death.

[@HoundofOdin]

They need to bring back Queek as a Verminlord. Imagine Queek but with daemon powers. If Settra can become a Stormcast Eternal, Queek can be a daemon prince of the Horned Rat.

[@dank_smirk9971]

These Verminlords are dramatic, theatrical, and have a sense of flair you say? That's it, I'm making a JoJo Rat.

[@joshuaturnquist5538]

This is my favorite of the Clans. Stormvermin and Clanrats supported by Skryre weapons is the pinnacle of Skavendom. It’s not Skaven without them. It’s a big shame that they renamed them to Verminus, I thought Clan Mors was a really strong name.

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

To be fair, the Clans Verminus are basically what used to be called Warlord Clans - Clan Mors was just the biggest of the Warlord Clans. No reason there can't be a Clan Mors in AoS,so claim it as your own :-)

[@ianwhelan-miller90]

Bit of an update, but I just read that clans Rictus and Mors are back in the lore-they both had brief mentions, but are just considered sub-clans of Verminus now.

[@FraterOphionoi]

I like to imagine that the inferiority complex of the Horned Rat plays into every aspect of its existence. It’s multifaceted nature is embodied in the Skaven Clans, but it constantly sets them against one another through the Shadow Council. It has all these aspects of itself and cannot decide what truly defines its identity, so it has to set its proxy Clans against one another to determine a “victor,” a true representation of what you really are. Imagine having these aspects constantly at war with one another as part of your existence because of how unsure you are of yourself. Despite this, you finally reach a point where you can ascend to the Chaos pantheon. But even that feat is practically ignored by the Chaos Gods. They can’t take you seriously at all. How does that drive your ambition? Your self-loathing? How much is it amplified? How could it be that the success and recognition of ascension to a new pantheon only drives your hatred further inward? How much more does your success drive you to self-destruction because it’s never good enough? Ironically for all its facets, whether it’s corruption and disease or the endless swarm or the deception or the cleverness, the element that seems to define the Horned Rat the most among all its facets is that inferiority complex. An element that has no Great Clan or Verminlord aspect because, ironically enough, it’s the only universal glue that binds this rat-king of a God together. It’s pretty great.

[@Enballgroda1]

Now this is my favourite clan. If I were to build a skaven army it’d be little else but Verminus, Stormfiends and verminlords. Y’know, once I muster enough patience to paint 300 rats.

[@aylipaolucci9412]

You can base coat them with one of the colored spray primers GW or another brand sells, and do the rest of the details as washes. It saves so much time

[@emperorschampion8293]

what happened to clan mors? I thought they were the big militant clan?

[@j.bat.8235]

I was kinda expecting the end of the clawlord bit to be like "they know how to play this game of thrones", since Skaven politics sounds a lot like westeros except everyone is basically Littlefinger just doped up to eleven (or thirteen, since we're talking Skavens).

[@skreechverminking4220]

Our favorite pet-thing is see-known as Qiek headtaker! Yes-yes (Just dont tell-chitter thanqoul of it, he may cry-plot again)

[@hughgedney3393]

Great video Doug, Skaven have huge numbers that can outnumber the Morgoth's orcs from Tolkien's middle earth, For the Horned Rat!! And the Skaven act like the orcs of Tolkien's middle earth

[@czairkolmoslink5952]

I really love Head taker Queek, I was thinking sense he was at such a high rank that he would have children and they might be big and brave like him and might carry the gene to talk to skulls like their father. So this can become a unit it self in clan verminus. I posted this on aother video. not the main focus on this post. (I feel like the rat swarm should be in Clans Verminus instead in Clan Moulder. Sense they are normal rats. It also has been said that rats just join into the army when skaven go to war. Also sense they are a "swarm" unit it would make sense.)

[@PatrickStar-tr9dz]

Awesome video Doug! The clawlord is my favorite as well. The warbringer is a close second though.

[@Ashbringer85]

"Think you can match an Asrai with sheer numbers? Hah! The arrogance." - Kerillian. Skaven sound really strong but they rarely get anywhere.

[@Jediabetus]

Hmmm, well as for my favorite verminus unit... that's a damn hard choice between clawlord and stormvermin. I'm leaning more towards stormvermin cuz the thought of a elite rat boi unit with the same cowardice tendencies as clan rats tickles me, but I guess the same can go for the clawlord huh? Great video ma dude!

[@HoundofOdin]

I miss skavenslaves. They were better than clanrats in a lot of ways. Want a horde of expendable units to drown the opposing army in a sea of bodies? Skavenslaves.

[@ranbenzvi9036]

I want queek back!

[@cfunch]

Clawlords have always looked so cool. All the armor. Stoked for info on the vermin Lord corruptor

[@josephpolk9660]

In the old world, Nagash and the Skaven fought to a standstill for im pretty sure a century until they made a truce so Nagash can get some warpstone that the Skaven mine. In AoS, id reckon itd be the same (although if Nagash builds another pyramid the skaven will always be there to stop him)

[@kevinmichaelbergman8276]

I enjoyed your comments about the issues being out of control and I am with the Ancient God's your true Creators we are on the issues and have it almost taken care of.

[@hansvermeulen2044]

Ah man, Skaven are so cool =D

[@LeviUlysses-mp5wg]

Great vids man!

[@Bmac1027]

MORE MORE VERMINLORD WARBRINGERS

[@Polex411]

The Stormvermin the ones who take the fight to the enemy and can win without having to simply outnumber them but can also match most elite troops blow for blow.

[@skofusdovah1466]

Clanrats for sure! I have it the blackhunger too :D

[@BaileyBecca]

I’m glad Theres more lore videos and eventually maybe the lore will get flushed out

[@liamalford1782]

Hi Doug hoping you can help. just watching your Skaven videos as I'm looking into a Chaos army. im undesided on which to go for could you help please. (as I trust your knowledge and views) I don't know where to go with Skaven or Slaanesh? (im a death painter n player mostly and fancy a new challenge) any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

[@2Tough]

Hey Liam! I would love to help! Do me a favor and reach out on Facebook or Instagram. KZbin comments get lost very easily on my end and I'd to start a conversation and not finish it

I like my clanrats. They are funny.

[@ianwhelan-miller90]

Man... this video makes me miss Queek. Queek was the best. :(

[@sarahhillary7698]

Replace passed down with stolen/taken for a more accurate description.

[@insanemang9983]

This would be my go to clan if stormvermin weren't overpriced by 100 points.

[@christos-pavlos7138]

I have a question. Did the twin tails comet "survive" the Warhammer fantasy?

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

Hey quick question does Queek Head take still exist or is he just the standard model for claw lords? I know he was killed in the end times I see you using his image and model a lot in this video.

[@2Tough]

Nah doesnt exist anymore, now he is just a basic Clawlord

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

@@2Tough well thats . . . Disappointing.

[@phoenixkelley8721]

Is the faction of Chaos warriors where they have daemons apart of their army

[@joesteele6576]

if you mean "is there a faction?" then all chaos armies can take chaos warriors and daemons

[@phoenixkelley8721]

I mean like armie like slaves to darkness or blades of khoren or beasts of chaos etc what I am looking for is a combination of them

[@romanz4891]

Okay so like every single picture of skaven their mouths are open. Just like every time you see a picture of a genestealer or any tyranid monster their tongue is hanging out. I think that's not that cool. It's kind of funny actually.

[@-Siculus-Hort-]

Genestealers tongues are limp dangus's waiting to implant some viral genes in its victim.

[@pyrrhusofepirus8491]

I honestly don’t like the name ‘Clawlord’, I like the old ‘Warlord’ title cooler, it has a certain gravitas and weight to the title.

[@brianspalliero]

This reminds me of current USA politics.
