Let's be honest you were making it in your head. Did he really need to?

[@501stlegionnaire]

I always like the formal manner in which Arch concludes after one of his warhammer lore topics, it's basically the parental equivalent of telling a child the ultimate horror bed-time story before saying, "sleep tight" ^^

[@AbuKaliAchBar]

You just made my day. Thank you! :D

[@501stlegionnaire]

I have my moments^^

[@timroddle3618]

Warhammer lore combined with Arch's attention to detail and generally soothing voice is just perfect to listen to as you go to sleep, its like a good old fashioned bed time story.(with a lot more violence)

[@TheIsioisi]

+tim roddle I've been doing the exact same thing!

[@Schlange556]

I find his dark, smooth and refined story telling endlessly entertaining.

[@skryreprototype1826]

Stupid skryre rat lies-lies even worse! Glorious mors clan bought many weapons for war with filthy man-things,WORTHLESS SKRYRE WEAPONS BROKEN ON ARRIVAL! (sniff sniff)

[@pile-o-nonsense3688]

What is this? A lore video from Arch? I've been binging these videos all night, not gonna stop now

[@skarjj1]

dont forget Clan Mors they were as close to being a Great Skaven Clan without actually being one and they may have actually became one before the end times occurred.

[@LucienTheWitch]

A dream that will last, all the love you can give! Every day of your life, for as long as you live! Lovely Arch this really made my day epic. Literally a cherry on top of the most delicious sundae ever.

[@EddieTheLightbringer]

More Skaven lore!

[@Overanalyse_This]

What's the lifespan of your everyday Skaven? I know some of the named characters have artificially extended their lives and that many Skaven are killed either on purpose or chance. But let's say we just pick a random one and then put them alone in a safe environment where they have everything they need to survive. How long do we think it'd last?

[@matthuckabey007]

These are the best, its great when you show the painted models and list the points. Great imagery!

[@keegobricks9734]

as irritating as his gushing skaven fanboyism is, I have to give him respect for being one hell of a skaven role player.

[@cyborglion4179]

Keego Bricks when did he do skaven roleplay.

[@Speeddrat]

I don't know why, but this is kind of really similar to the 40k Orcs ... Because orcs, too, live an breath to bash and boss other orcs around ... And Gretchins are more often than not workshop assistants to mech-boy's workshop, food source, lab rats and targets for target practise ...

[@Uberdude6666]

I get the feeling that even if a clan Skryer-invention doesn't actually contain any explosive components, the engineers will add it in just for the heck of it?

great video Arch. this video along with your lore videos on the Night and forest goblins are some of your funniest works. again great video look forward to you next warhammer lore video

My least to most favorite of the clans go in this order. Moulder and Pestilens are tied at 4th favorite as i can't decide which i like more. Eshin is my third favorite. Skryre is my second favorite. And Mors is my favorite Clan.

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Do skaven eat cheese? And if so, where do they get the milk for it?

[@romulusnuma116]

Humans

[@Dorunek]

No they don't, they usually only eat black cereals/seeds, skaven/human/greenskin/dwarf/elf/whatever meat or just regular rats, also they sometimes sniff warpstone, if that counts. Normal quality cheese would be like a divine treat for a skaven

[@EtherealDoomed]

+Darwin Award You are correct. They choose a wise variety of other substances over cheese.

[@Dorunek]

musicman24X I think cheese is bad for them actually, I have a pet rat in my house and most vets tell me to not give him cheese or at least not too often

[@Dorunek]

Darwin Award Wait so we're like the Skaven then? We got used to eating cheese even though most people can't eat it? xD

Arch fast burning gunpowder would be a terrible ammunition

[@holsson85]

Yeah, it needs to burn slower so that the projectile gradually accelerate through the barrel, rather than the barrel just...exploding!

[@aeranthial439]

holsson85 actually a fast burning gunpowder would create very little pressure making it to weak to use

[@Quethonable]

+Benjamin Gilbert As someone who has dabbled in pyrotechnics, gunpowder most definitely needs to burn quickly to act as a propellant - if it doesn't burn quickly enough you just get a rather underwhelming roman candle effect

[@aeranthial439]

Macdeas But if it burns to quickly it doesn't work properly either you need a just right on the burn speed.
