Warhammer Fantasy Lore! The Skinks of Lustria!

[@Heegaherger]

I have done shit burning details while I was deployed in Iraq. Yes, that is what it sounds like; take a 50 gallon drum that has been cut in half and is half full of your unit-mate's feces, dump gas on it and burn the lot. And that would be required for each of the half dozen drums in the latrine area. So... yeah... I have a fair idea, and I do not want to think about it. Thank you, Arch, for bringing those memories back to my mind.

Ah, the poor Skinks. A thought just came to me of their endless devotion, watching as all they had worked tirelessly for came crashing down like so much of the falling Moon. I feel tears just imagining it, and it makes hating the End Times even more justified. Hell, some people have called you out on dismissing the "potential" of some of Game Workshop's choices, but seriously... who can support the utter ruination that is the End Times? What does any faction or species gain? Well... despite Archeon's thirst for a chaotic world where there are no Gods left to toy with the fate of mortals.

I just realised that functionally the lizardmen are basically the tyranids of fantasy.

[@simonnachreiner8380]

It's also worthy of noting the mindset of a skaven. A Skaven never thinks "That could have been me" when a clan rat catches a cannonball. Ergo they will not break and run when their comrades bite it from ranged fire because they clearly aren't next in line. When a Red Crest skink rips out the throat of a clan rat right next to another it matters little if they think it will happen to them next or not because it VERY much will in the next thirty seconds...
