Bud explains... the Skaven for Warhammer

[@mikenolan73]

I always liked the fact that the Doomwheel in WFB is essentially a joke on a hamster wheel.

[@pb6703]

I do love the loathsome ratmen.

[@therealGibralter]

Rats the size of men? Impossible!

[@robbabcock_]

Great video, Bud! WH has some really insane lore! ⚔🐀🔥☠👻

[@thefightingfedora2976]

Clan Skryre built an enormous nuke beneath Middenheim but infighting and a tunnel collapse prevented them from setting it off. It's still there...

[@BudsRPGreview]

A video explaining everything the skaven had ever done would be hours long. I couldn't include everything so went for the basics.

[@thomasparker6124]

After spending a bit too much time on Vermintide I did a bit of a deep dive into when they first turned up, as I could remember them being pretty much like I recall in my childhood copy of Advanced Heroquest and my reprint of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1E from Hogshead. Turned out they were introduced way back in a 2E Warhammer 3rd Citadel Journal released Spring 1986 had a huge article about them written by Jes Goodwin and Rick Priestley. (Jordan Sorcey later did a video covering this very subject 8 months ago) What is astonishing is just how much they still resemble the Skaven we have today in Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer Fantasy RPG and even Age of Sigmar; where they seemed to be the faction changed the least.

[@thomasparker6124]

Also I've always loved that it was the Skaven who are responsible for saving the Warhammer world from Nagash at his most powerful.

[@BudsRPGreview]

Yeah, I saw Jordan Sorcery's video. He does a great job of talking about their history out of game - mine is their history in game. I love that they are relatively unchanged.

❤ my boys and their lightning cannons

[@jeevesosiris]

I actually just stole the Skaven and added them to my 5e Dragonlance campaign :P Thank you so much for all this - I can only imagine how much work these lore videos are

[@notsofree_willy]

Skaven are the funnest faction, they’re just wild and chaotic

[@simonstraub4358]

Great video. You really know Skaven. Cheers!

[@chriskirby9408]

The skaven should get more love

[@BudsRPGreview]

They got 26+ minutes of love from me! May do Slayers next.

[@simonstraub4358]

Hey Bud! Just wanted to drop a line and say that i am a fan of your videos. While i am not really a Warhammer fan, at present this is your most recent video and i wanted to mention that your reviews are what convinced me to get into Delta Green and try Mork Borg so thank you! I do have a dumb question, did you do voice acting for video games? There is one I play and there is an enemy type in it that I swear has your voice. Lol Either way great vids and thank you!

[@BudsRPGreview]

Hi. Glad you enjoy the videos. No, I have never done voice acting - which video game is it so I can check it out?

[@pberrigan19]

@@BudsRPGreview lmao absolutely it is Star Citizen, there are a group of bad guys called 9 Tails, and you can do bunker missions. One of the voices for the bad guys sounds like you in my opinion. Lol I totally expect the, "What are you talking about! Sounds nothing like me response."

[@Dragoran5836]

Oh man I forgot to watch this earlier

[@davidbrennan660]

The hands of Forbidden Knowledge corrupt and destroy the Warhammer world.
