VERMINTIDE! YES-YES! : THE SKAVEN | Beginner to Expert Podcast w/  

I have been dying from laughter for nine minutes straight. God bless-protect the glorious-great Eli, yes, yes.

I like to think that warpstone is just straight up uranium. It's green. It mutates stuff. They use it to make ammo. And also a thought of a rat snorting a line of uranium is incredibly funny to me.

I've loved the Skaven ever since I learned that they mine gold even though they don't need it, just to annoy the other races

Snikch be like: *I don't know who I am, I don't know where-where I am, all I know is that I must kill-kill!"

Eli’s skaven voice at the start was fantastic

instead of spending Christmas eve with my family I'm instead spending time watching a podcast episode about rat men. clearly I have made the superior choice

the virgin beastmen vs THE CHAD-CHAD SKAVEN!

That opening bit by Eli sounded like lemongrab lmao UNACCEPTABLE!! The Skaven will claim their true place on the above-land!!

Now I need a Nagash beginner to expert. Because listening to people talk about Skelepope Supreme for almost 2 hours is apparently how I like spending my weekends.

The horned rat is decay itself as a concept, his own avatar got corrupted like the chaos god's but over a far lengthier period of time most likely as decay is something that goes in cycles. Given the war and madness, it makes sense that with constant unhealthy amounts of renewal that eventually the avatar of the concept would get fucking dickish. Sadly this also explains why despite skaven being cowardly, they are pushed to do terrible things and generally feel terrible, because decay when overloaded everywhere literally creates what the under empire is: look at skaven blight and look at the *absolute fucking mess* it is, there's no substantial life anywhere and despite the skaven being anthropomorphic versions of the animals that help a lot to add on physically the concept of decay, they are renewed in a fucked up and twisted way by their own people's constant backstabbing, mirroring their gods avatar's first potential action of backstabbing the people he promised to build a tower for, only to then show them all his abstract concept in the cruelest way possible and erode any kind of chance for life to return there because of how he forced his created species to act. TLDR: decay is needed but too much of it will fuck you up.

Never thought I’d fall asleep on Christmas Eve to Skaven poetry. What a magical world we live in.

I find it really weird that Gotrek and Felix wouldn't know who thanquol is because they absolutely did. Ulrika was even able to identify thanquol by name when she encountered him because Felix told Her about him.

The sad part is that my boy Ikkit survived end times aswell, he just has super dementia and goes by Ikrit now since that’s what he remembers his name by

And on this Sanguinala... ..we worship the GREAT HORNED RAT-GOD

i heard a tiny bit about the skaven before this and i knew they would be my favorite warhammer fantasy race, now i get to know more about my favorite rat pals

I just realised We have vermintide We have darktide But when? Will we get greentide?

Rats, rats, we’re the rats. We prey at night we stalk at night, we’re the rats!

I'm guessing pancreas is going to praise the great horned rat over, and over, and over agian.

The Sandman 40k would be an excellent addition to your team, albeit only as a guest star.

PancreasNoWork, i thought i recognized that smoothing voice. No wonder you tube recommend me this

Excited to learn about the Ratussy

The Skaven are super cool and one I would hate to fight in Warhammer Fantasy as a Human due to the numbers and crazy warpstone tech. In 40K the Strykis are not very scary and mid in terms of Xenos to fight so not so bad.

Thanquil has pgsd. Post Gotrik Stress Disorder.

Two minutes. I couldn't go two minutes into this video without nearly pissing myself from laughter. You guys are awesome!

I would really like when possible for a discord server bec i can imagine how many 40k lore enthusiasts would join that server(including myself).

The Stryxis i belive are suppose to be the 40k scaven. No miniatures but there is a little bit of lore and something about having four eyes and chaining derelict or captured ships together.

The chemestry between you guys is just great, funny af and also wholsome, its a treat to listen to it, and it feels like its a treat to make aswell

I now think-feel that all videos should have Skaven subtitles. I don't mean on this channel, I mean everywhere. The little detail that always gets to me that I don't see mentioned much is that the assassin's of Clan Eshin actually have their scent glands removed (assumedly also with some of the cleaning and diet regimes that actual ninja used) so they are completely odorless. Since Skaven often perceive the world more by scent then sight, that detail just always felt really scary to me. Having this built in radar that you depend on all the time, and not only are Clan Eshin some of the most deadly rats alive, but they are invisible to that radar. Also their swords literally melt you, for added fun. They're probably the first thing in Warhammer that felt genuinely scary to me. And this is coming from someone who has daydreamed about a cozy apartment in Hellpit. Also, while Thanquol is my favorite Warhammer character, I have to give an honorable mention to Sharpwit from the Headtaker novel, he really doesn't get enough attention and probably has the #2 spot (Glart Smashrip and Fulgrim are the competition, for anyone wondering). Especially after I played Elden Ring and noticed a lot of funny little similarities with Margit, another character I absolutely love.

Fantasy? FUCK YES!!!!

For those wondering how the device that called the Eldar was in Warhammer Fantasy, the implication has been that the Old Ones in fantasy are the same Old Ones from 40k, and that they may have created Warhammer Fantasy in its own pocket dimension.

I do miss Queek Headtaker, I do hope we get a new model of him someday

Up to now, that's your best episode. Thx a lot for your hard work.

I daam like hearing you guys again!!

Skaven are what people think the pre bane sith empire is

"I won't say nice things about Khorne" 22:34 Eli --> IHHHH!!?!!

Remember to like and comment to appease the great horned rat,,, I mean algorithm 😁❤️👍🏼

Skaven are like the orks but funnier

The skaven is the reason why I got into warhammer. They are unsurpassed as the most evil sentient beings in any franchise.

I was looking forward to this one lesgooo. Merry Christmas btw

Skaven and Lizardmen (I guess they go by Seraphon now?) are by far my favorite factions in the Fantasy Setting. It would be amazing if you uploaded a similar video for the Lizardmen at some point in in the future!

I can listen to these boi's for HOURS the passion you guys have for these topics are legendary PancreasNoWork just fucking went for it with his love of these filthy rats being owned by the ultimate duo and I got excited because I've been reading those books recently too. Love your work guys and I can't wait for next year batch of videos!

There's nothing like playing skryre, getting a double turn, then promptly using it to blow yourself up. They aren't great competitively but I've yet to find a more fun army in either AoS or 40k

This video was great. It covered all the reasons why I love the Skaven and why they're my favourite faction in all of Warhammer!

Happy Sanguinala brothers

I had a great time

The words daddy ratty gave me heartburn

Rats! Rats! Rats!

I went to college in Wyoming and lived their for 3 years after I graduated.

So Pancreas knows of Pink Yabbit should've guessed.

Now I'm picturing how much more insane Conrad Curze would have been if he had to be primarch over the Skaven instead of the Night Lords. Oh boy

I think the vampire you thinking about is Abhorash the founder of the Blood Knights.

I want all of them to use the Skaven voice for everything now.

I always thought Remembi was making the edits. Damn Pancreas your editing so great and I feel like its unappericiated so if you see this comment be happy. idk what else to say its just good fucking editing

League of legends have ruined my mind every time I see a skaven I think of Twitch

Total war warhammer's skaven clans show off skaven very well. The four major clans are represent, with the sneaky eshin rats, the stinky pestilens rats, the smart-ish skryre rats and the monstrous moulder rats Then there's Clan Mors and Clan Rictus, two warlord clans that are VERY powerful, but for different reasons. Mors has some of the best clanrats, their rank and file clanrats are completely loyal to clan mors, and they assimilate defeated troopd that surrender into their military. Clan Rictus, however, has stronger stormvermin in vastly superior numbers than almost any other clan, and they control every trade route into and out of the darklands (they charge a heavy payment to go in, and twice again if you want to leave, thrice as much if you want a rictus skaven to guide you through the darklands, which can often be necessary because of the chaos dwarfs) Rictus and Mors actually have a bit of a rivalry, with them both being major warlord clans on the council of thirteen.

Shame they skipped over ikit claw in sigmar getting a mech suit and being taught how to make stormcasts by a dwarf fella

Are you sure Eli is not a skaven in discuise?

Fun fact about the doomwheel a skaven from clan mors sleek sharpwit who was Lord Gnawdwell's queek before queek had a big hand in helping clan skryre crate said doomwheel! Yea that other skaven warlord skull is in fact sleek sharpwit. He was a huge rival in the novel headtaker its super interesting there interactions. TLDR Sleek was gnawdwell's right hand man earning said title over many long years of service and sees queeks rise as unfair this leads to a phyllisophical final battle and these quotes basically sharpwit "you think you think any beyond your own scrap of hill knows or cares who you are? you think in 50 years any will remember?" Queek "all fear queek all will forever fear queek" sharpwit "you are impossible mad-thing you do not know the meaning of forever look at me i am still alive and already forgotten" Sharpwit "we steal so much from the dwarf-things more then any care to admit but never that respect for what is past i think the horned rat prefers his children blind or we would surely have the world now and he knows we would betray even him if we could" Queek "You admire dwarf-things?" Sharpwit "it would be nice to be remembered" Queek ""Queek will always remember you" and he takes sleeks head making it his most prized trophy and why its so critical of him. Thanqoul summoning Skarbrand instead of the verminlord was infact a final fuck you that a skaven called Thratsnik they left him locked inside a burrow to starve so he got payback by destorying the OG hand and replacing it with his own hand with the seal of khorne. This was all told in the black plague trilogy and the novel Thanqoul's doom. The skaven have been kinda put on the side line for age of sigmar we have not had a new skaven novel in the settings for YEARS. This was a fun video i hope to see more fantasy stuff from this channel tho i do watch the 40k stuff too!!!!

Best.Intro.Ever.

How to get a dark sould fan to like warhammer: show them Skavenblight, tell them it's Blight Town

Yes, yesss, very insightful podcast, yesssss!

I don’t think skaven are reminiscent of the “bunch of monkies writing Shakespeare” thing. I mean in the books upon seeing a shitty steam tank a known tinker rat thinks of a modern tank design within seconds. Ikit claw has be developed multiple weapons. In general I’m pretty sure some skaven are just really fucking smart.

I love that all I have to do to find the Skaven content is sort by "popular". Everyone loves the scheming little rats

You know whats a cooler faction? Bretonnia of course. Wait, this is a rat video...

Love this channel

Merry Christmas you silly bastards!

Just wanted to add that clan pestilence at the end of the civil war threatened to unleash the yellow skull fever upon skavenblight in order to get that council seat.

Late but I’m from Wyoming and I wish we can actually have giant rats to boast about, then we could actually put all the cowboy guns and all to good use.

i love the skaven

I'm from wyoming. I met the other guy that lives here. There's a lot of wind.

Hearing Eli do an impression of Johnathan Keeble's skaven voice is amazing tbh

As a person who lives in Wyoming, the skaven are under my house and they keep waking me up in the middle of the goddamn night if I don't throw various green rocks at them

Amazing stuff, I've been binge watching 40k lore and it's been awesome. Are there any fantasy lore videos anybody could recommend

Hmmmm yes yes, my fellow rat fam-kin. Yes yes.

Great video, but the audio levels are all over the place. You were way louder then the other guys

1:32:14 Lizardmen fans crying in the corner. (I also kinda hate the seraphon lore.)

Lovely day to find out that not only does one of my favorite creators have my deadname, it's spelled the same way lol :,)

22:04 I'd have to agree lol

Two minutes in - like!

*Mantic Games* has 40k Skaven minis in their catalogue. They're called Rrats or something 😅

The Skaven and the Lizardmen/Seraphon are the greatest races that GW made.

"Christmas"? Surely you meant the Ratmas! And speaking of ratmas: any chance you could do a Thanquolsgiving special next year about our favourite rat who just can't get a break?

Eli’s natural voice sounds skaven

Before Conquest and After Devour are great names for a BC and AD equivalent in Warhammer

Skaven are my favorite fantsy race because they are literally millions of every 80s cartoon villian combined

Obviously the Horned Rat joined chaos because he knew that with thanquol in chatge he will do more damage then by fighting them directly

I know they are a fan favorite to the point its overated...but clann skryre is honestly one of my favorite "bad guy" factions in most fantasy settings. Between the insane development, mad science (just as much as molder) and the sheer insanity of these rat men going full north Korea at times...and even blowing up the moon, part of me is GREATLY disappointed that they do not have their own dedicated army list in age of sigmar...especially with what is implied to be ikkit still running around...though with a bit of dememtia.

I'm from Wyoming 😂

I'm still convinced The Great Horned Rat helped save Gotrek. Because, to him, it was really, really funny.

Once again, it is taking all of my resolve not to squirt the musk of fear

Skaven or Lady Dimitrescu 😆

Alcadizar was upgraded while in the womb by Neferata

yes-yes skaven council improves of this-this.................. skaven best-best then all other races yes-yes!!!

Will you guys be included any Disney/Mickey Mouse jokes?

18:47 don’t mind me just having an autistic seizure over a Splatoon reference in a warhammer podcast

Orc tech seems fun Skaven is like florida orc

Comment for the comment gods.

The best way that I could describe the Skaven is that they're deliciously evil.

36:23 this is my wife

Can y'all film him reading his marriage vows in The voice? Because I would pay top money to see that
