Unique friendly greetings to Skaven. Total War Warhammer 2 

Even when everybody likes the skaven nobody likes them

Friendlier than a bullet between the eyes, at least.

Rats are beauty why hate em eh everyone other than skaven huh?

@@wiiblii8584 rats like underground caves, dwarves make underground caves, they are in contest of the same space so they naturally hate each other

@@JackPorter but skaven are the master race they deserve respect

hey, i notice the nehekarans roll their R's when speaking

Clan mors (basically no back-stabbing) and Moulder (friends with the norscans and kinda chill) aren't as bad and surprisingly Eshin canonically are friends with Cathay.

@@Dracosian4802 Eshin are not "friends" with Cathay. They merely learned their tricks from Cathayans, presumably at knife point.

making a skaven character thats literally this

For myself-self. Its personally very hard; to make humans happy. I have my pet rat.

There was; he was torn to shreds by his own men

*insert careless whisper*

Cthulhu Who actually it’s Alpharius

OwO

@@TheLostArchangel666 cue eshin

Witch Hunter? This post here.

It's because they always assume to be lied too.

Things are going good great for them.

Well Ikit Claw would too.. but only because he's always holding a bigger gun.

@@blakearius Problem with Ikit is that he's just as likely to blow you up with a warpstone bomb

@@MaliciousGrim05 And probably blow up his own minions and allies in the process. You'll never know if it was treason or simply a design flaw.

Queek makes Korne proud.

@@azathoththe3rd Always believed the reasoning for their unusual loyalty is due to unintentional worship of Khorne.

Fuckin spy, more like. :D

Judging by some responses, I think they send the representative alongside gutter runners “Red eyes in the dark... is that you, Skaven?” But sometimes they prefer the more direct approach (AKA: probably escorted by 4 stormvermin) “Holding court for vermin... there’s no greater joy...” “VERMIN? ON MY DECK?”

I feel like Skrolk sending a diplomat at all would cause paranoia. They could just smash a vial in their stronghold or ship and leave it a haunted husk lol

@@corpselight7989 "Get away rat, you carrier of plague." "I also carry presents!" "Oh, how sweet." "It's plague." "Dammit."

@@PAPride95 "We-we bring plagued north-man-thing heart!"

Clan pestilens has a shat in spawning pool as a landmark as well

its litteraly a dick comparison contest for magic uranium

Personally, I like a line Ikit has to the lizardmen, just blatantly disappointed they're alive. "Oh, I thought the skink-plague would've killed you... Shame."

Gay-gay yes-yes

there is also a line where the skaven threaten to piss on the pyramids

Elven cheese, hm-hm? I-I hungry now!

No, you See the elf is the Hero and brings liberty, its like a colonial Mission, they know better and want you to not eat trash

Is just polite to offers snacks to guests :)

Elf-thing offered us cheese, we murder-kill her last yes-yes

Is it time for Cox'nCrendor in the Morning?

Yo, that's actually really cool

Really? Because I was 1. Talking to 35. And they still acted like they were the boss........ So naturally I wiped them out to get more warp fuel

@@void-creature if you fight them to the last or few settlements you can confederate them and get them as a lord for one of your army’s.

Submissive and breedable

You gotta love old luther

I mean, he's flattering himself more than a little bit by comparing the threat posed by his little fleet, to the threat posed by the Skaven race...

​@@GarmrKiDarwell little you say. He has like half a thousand ships

That I just don’t tru- *DOOOOOOM* faint echo of mad rat laughter

Honestly, most of the responses were essentially "We will tolerate you because you've given us money and/or killed our enemies"

"Friendly" lizardmen

@@weezact7 that’s actually a reason why Thanquol is alive. Since Thanquol causes more harm to other skaven that to any other race, the Slann dictate that he lives since his existence is a net benefit to them.

Fun fact, Skave actually enjoy the taste of warpstone like a narcotic.

@@robertnelson9599 so they dont like cheese

Robert Nelson bruh, how much warpstone do they got? It’s a religious object, energy source for their machinery, ammunition for their weaponry, and a drug? You would think they’d run out of the stuff eventually.

@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 the stuff falls from morrslieb and crashes to the surface periodically, in addition to digging it out of the ground.

@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 We never-never tell how much; no, no! But do not worry-fear, is not-not that much... Do you-you have more warpstone for me-us, hm?

LMAO

Wow, we have so much in common..... Soooo, what are your Plans for the Weekend?

​@@void-creature😂

*and that is how Elves found new weapons contractor *

SKAVEN MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX BEST IN THE WORLD

to any one that want to know time stamp its 7:46 and 8:12

Skaven measure tails like Tomb Kings measure Pyramids

@@DogKacique yo so true. or empire measure a good mustache

“Cars” wasn’t what I interpreted it as...

@@lordvarrax5060 pp

Probably because he never kept a Skaven's corpse or something

@@samtemdo8 because empire deny the existence of Skaven

@@cenk2704 They have a task force of elite member of races to defend againt the vermint

@@brunocobos6646 Uberseik five.

@@martinlysy Or four. It doesn't matter.

I don't suggest petting anybody from clan pestilince, otherwise you might join us in helping kugath or maybe festus.

I second this

One of them at least offered some cheese while they wait.

easily the most light hearted of the responses. she had that sort of tone where she obviously doesn't really know what to make of the circumstances she finds herself in, but in a good way.

Well Repanse was a originally a peasant, so she might have some sympathy to being looked down by everyone.

Yes very generous especially since there going to steal all of the remaining cheese on the way out

"Also that one elf lady. She was actually pretty congenial. Offering food to skaven? Very generous." *That one completely WOOSHED over your head. Offering them cheese was her being entirely sarcastic (and racist).*

@@opo3628 She could have also meant what she said. Joke or not. And is there a reason a rat wouldn't like cheese if humanoid races do? Seems like you're being racist yourself.

IIRC, Skaven actually DO believe themselves honorable. They have a VERY different view on honor, though.

That one was my favorite too.

He even says that to his brother Tyrion.

Teclis is very forefront about his feelings

hug-hug.... stab!

They deserve no friend-companion. Yes-yes!

Read some Redwall! ... no, wait, still villains. Forget I said anything.

So the skaven can stab stab my back with a dagger? Sneaky sneaky Skaven. Yes yes.

There is something else that needs to die more urgently

All part of the "plan"

Like what?! Did Drachenfels come back?!

I will send for some cheese for you.

Yep pretty much.

Hey, they're not threatening to kill you on sight. For Skaven thats a major improvement.

The Skaven are world-renowned villains and monsters. Simply being in their presence probably sours these guys' day. Worse still when they come _offering_ something - they extend one hand to shake while using the other to choose the knife they'll stab your back with, and everyone knows it.

@@PAPride95 World renowend ? I'm sure they are just a myth.

Ah well. Can't have em all.

Vlad have only interactions with the game 1 races :(

@@douglassilva4858 Meanwhile, only a select few of the game 2 races have lines for the game 1s...

Agreed. Would love to hear what Vlad has to say after High Elves being so... polite :D

Aye. Bonus if Karl mentions Emperor Mandred Skavenslayer.

It's quite hard to get voice actors back.

According to the lore, most of the factions would not even consider being nice to other factions.

@@robertnelson9599 Yep. The Order races (Empire, Dwarfs, High Elves, Lizardmen, etc.) would treat with each other fairly (barring a few exceptions - Dwarfs and Elves, for example), and two Disorder (Chaos, Skaven, Vampires, Dark Elves, etc.) factions _might_ be willing to cooperate once in a blue moon, but diplomacy between Order and Disorder races? Nah - not without _very_ extenuating circumstances. There's just too much bad blood over too many centuries.

@@PAPride95 Those circumstances being something like the End Times, when Vladdy Daddy decided to play nice with Mortals, and Nagash was a bro.

@@MrJinglejanglejingle Exactly. And it says quite a bit about this setting and the people that inhabit it that it took the literal _end of the world_ for many of these factions to put aside their differences for a common cause - that cause, of course, being stopping the world from blowing up.

@@PAPride95 Which they failed at... Because GW are terrible writers. I mean, the end of the End Times would've probably resulted in everyone kinda... Not knowing what to do. I mean, Nagash is back, the Skaven are everywhere, most of the greatest heroes are dead or dying...

Don't forget repanse she was nice!

Respanse was polite, not quite the same

I feel like Morathi in particular is just *drowning* her comments in sarcasm... Repanse just straight up respects the Skaven for talking to her... Teclis is somewhere in the middle, I can't decide if he's being sarcastic, or if he's doing the Teclis thing that he does "No, everyone else in the universe is wrong, *I'm* the only one who can see the real truth!" and decides the Skaven are good guys

@@JimRFF Morathi is definitely being sarcastic.

Or maybe it's the very real possibility that they've built a network of tunnels with some kind of superweapon directly below that very throne room.

Hey, that's racist!

@@DzinkyDzink Skaven Lives Matter!

@@mrschizo2837 very, very likely. my first long-term act in *every* skaven campaign so far is to order an undercity below tyrion's throneroom.

Or a mod.

Ikit about to do a warcrime.

"Sorry Mr. Marsh the answer was Naggers"

Skaven-Lord: "You can Say-speak that again, knify" [Diplomatic relations with ALL elves decreased by -40 points]

Mate that won't work You need invocation of nehek for the dead

Pretty sure even that won’t work if the body has been incinerated

I’m pretty sure the skaven was just grateful for the cheese, signed the non-aggression pact, left, and ate the gifted cheese on a hill as he watched the elven city get blown up by a doomsphere

Most diabolical scheme yes-yes?

"But sir-sir, the ship is is sink-sinkiiin!" "What do you mean Vermin?" * * *Doom rocket launched.* * *

Pick Queek, yes-yes! Put their heads on a trophy rack! Let's hear their courtesies then, yes-yes!

They are trying to be polite, considering everyone knows skaven only deserve death.

Also one of the races that is pretty much hellbent on ending all the other ones, and the only reason they can't is that they keep fucking betraying each other. Seriously if they quit that shit for a singular year they would have ended everyone else. But most races also don't know the level that Skaven can go, because the Skaven themselves don't usually let it get that far with the amount of backstabbing. In fact Skaven themselves (in some level of lore) had a ban on getting caught (the Humans specifically had a much harsher one), or trying to do big maneuvers without approval, punishable by Eshin. Cause they liked being played on the downlow. But most races do realize how serious a threat they pose, but perhaps not how close they truly are from getting their paws on it.

Skaven have the most advanced technology? Lizardmen beg to differ. They have actual spaceships and solar-powered death rays. Also, Skaven technology is famously unreliable. A skaven nuke is as likely to blow up the Skaven themselves as it is to blow up its intended victims. Of course, the Skaven being Skaven, they do not consider this a problem.

@@jodofe4879 I find that’s to believe.

I mean, the Rat nuke didn't end well for the Skaven in the books

Sylvania going straight up anarchy.

Just because there is more than one ruler, don't imagine for a second that it's even vaguely democratic. Skaven society is utterly brutal, and their hierarchy is extremely structured and ruthlessly enforced. A conclave of the most powerful warlords is no more democratic than a king by blood.

Serra even offered him some cheese, what a nice girl. I'm sure it wasn't meant as an insult, when have High Elves ever done that?

@@Marxamune *cough* War of the *cough* beard *cough cough*

@@sjonnieplayfull5859 War of Vengeance you bloody pointy-ear sympathizer!

@@DzinkyDzink im using the name they gave it, to further show their arrogance. Don't trust anything without a proper beard!

i guess the writers assumed she wouldn't know what they are

just finished a krok gar campaign & it amused me how often he talks to his carnosaur telling it the lizardman version of 'settle down, we'll eat this prey later'

Well, lorewise, lizardmen should hate skavens with all their reptilian hearts - so that's pretty accurate

nah these are *very* polite greetings. they deserve far worse & everyone knows it.

A more accurate title would be "Everybody hates the Skaven slightly less"

The most oppressed majority considering their demography.

Minority... Riiight...

@@Oscar_Lasco drown them in bodies yes-yes?

Really underappreciated.
