[@joedatius]

the dwarves get fucked over super hard in the end times and a lot of the times its because of the rats imposing their rat dominance over them like queek speaking the the sacred language of the dwarf's to Belegar Ironhammer before fighting and killing him just to fuck with him in his final moments. and Ikit claw sending hellpit abominations into the Slayer stronghold and had them filled with poison bombs so the slayers would die shameful deaths.

[@DiZtheJedi]

I think the most important change that CA made in this patch in preparation for Snikch was adding an entirely new "triple-sword infantry" unit category.

[@MrSilencedGamer]

Yeah, at first it said dual sword infantry but a youtuber (don't remember which one) reported it as a critical bug.

It's a really dissatisfying end to Thorgrim's story though, he's one of the coolest characters and he just gets shanked by a rat and his whole lifelong quest amounts to nothing

@LutraLovegood I mean out of universe dude. Sure you have situations where one of the turtles go and do their own thing. Leo does that plenty of times. Fact is they're a team. They're a package deal. It's like only getting Reed Richards instead of the whole Four. It's like getting just the Red Ranger and not the rest of the rangers, even as skins. It's like Cyclops without the rest of the X-Men. Make it simple for you. Not only is having them as heroes let's them be part of the same army under a rat lord. It also keeps with their design philosophy. Raphael wasn't made first as his standalone person than later joined a team. He was made as part of a team from the very beginning, same with Leo, Don and Mike. Almost all of the Avengers are their own characters and part of a team 2nd. Same for most members of the Justice League. The Power Rangers are a package set. FF, TMNT, most members of the X-Men.

Well the reason why a clan eshin dlc came with a pair of clan skyre units is because the skaven unit roster is almost compleate and clan Eshin did not have that manny units to begin with compared to the other clans. The only things missing are: Clan Moulder: Giant/Wolf rats(,... maybe tunneling Beasts). Mounts: Great Poxrats, Brood Horrors, Clan Skyre: Stormfiends, Verminlords and a few legendary lords.

0:18 Huh, so it was Snikch who ran across my attic a year ago. Well he isn't as sneaky as you all might think, i discovered his undercity and locked him out. He used an old long out of order sewage pipe to climb from below my cellar through this pipe all the way to my attic and sneaked around. Heard his little tipple steps every night. ...And i think he didn't have his cowl back then. Or this was his wife-wife back then, because for one second i could see a prying nose. So, we cut a slot into the sewage pipe (remember, it's out of order so no smell, besides rat-smell yes-yes), shoved in some metal plates, which my father prepared just for that, so that we could horizontally seal off the entrance to the wicked Skaven undercity. True story. Never heard anything from dem ratlings again. But... you know... Since that moment with the peeking nose... That was kind of cute. Time to reload my Skaven save, yes-yes!

[@milesdavis607]

@@originalmetalman9430 That's actually kind of the point. In this lore of fantasy with rat assassins and mountain moving gods... they added in Japan as literally themselves? It's glorification and oddly tone-deaf. There are many ways to allude to the East's great cultures - just not treating them like an exotic experience. It'd be great if they entered in a Samurai like Island to the far east, that's fine and dandy, just with more flair than LITERALLY calling them Japan. Because, like I said, that's treating them like an exotic experience rather than an actual real civilization... which they are. Edit: And as Cody here showed us... it's not GW first time being tone-deaf. I mean those caricatures holy shit I knew GW had a racist rough start but DAMN.
