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.
@@robertnelson9599 Yes. I do not care for Marines or the Horus Heresy, therefore I have not been watching as much of his content. How much longer is it going to be until those books are over? When are we going to get a on Horus Heresy book series?
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.
"If chaos takes over there will be no chaos gods to mess with mortals! If all the mortals get eaten by demons there will be no mortals left to have their fate messed with by gods!" - Sherlock Archaeon Einstein, noted member of the MENSA society, just before having his nuts kicked into his throat.
Saying he dismissed the "Potential" of the end times is like someone throwing good food in the garbage and complaining you dismissed the potential of it being a good meal. It means nothing if it had potential if the numb skull chimps that made it shat on a page and called it the end times.
@@MarshCreature I did not mean the Endtimes specifically. I meant his interpretation of lore in general. Some people have this opinion, I don't share it.
@@thanquolrattenherz9665 The Old Ones built the entire species, big to small, from scratch. The Skinks are probably more brainwashed than the Hitler Youth.
I found some... um.... adult-material Warhammer Fantasy comic stuff where a slan is named the great Pepe'kek.... I found that hillarious. And yes Adult as in XXX material :p
@@darkinnovator2479 I'll keep it at that tho... It'd be rather easy to find if you go to certain 'rule' websites about the number 34... and look for fanmade comic art of Warhammer Fantasy. I mean this is RU-vid after all, so I'm being quite vague for a reason.
Original Warhammer Lore... wow ....., the last time that I hear Arch talk about that, it includes unit description, points cost and stats, but the same "Greetings and Salutations"
In a full scale war they seem so miniscule, but when they're through your castle's walls and in your barracks, they'll butcher your and your allies like roast beef. Forget not that they are as fast, nimble, agile and hungry as Skaven but more coordinated than even the best Elven footman.
Something I read somewhere about skinks, they have bad short term memory. Like to the degree that when their units break and run, once they lose sight of what they were running from, they’ll forget why they were running and reform for another go.
Other Races: playing around, having a care free time. Lizardmen: maintaining a world ending nuclear stockpile in their basement, in case they receive a mission from god, and are quite thoughtful and down-to-earth people in general.
You speak of "Lord Mobility Scooter" | 10:00 - Well, someone had to clean up after them...with that bio-weapon, no wonder Clan Pestilens came into being. | 21:40 - Speaking of which... | The red ones go faster!...they're also good at psychological warfare.
Stupid Lizard things think they have it bad. Think about the poor Skaven Warlord who has to put up with the consistent whining of the starving skaven slave, the endless upstart backstabbers, and having to praise the fat loads of rat feces above them that hold positions of power that the warlord should have instead. All of it can be such a toll on the majestic Skaven mine and physic.
first you talk extensively about food going through the savage orcs digestion and now you're detailing lizardmen latrine duties, if I didn't know better id think you had a scat fetish or something.
To be fair he does not write the lore he just makes sure to point out the nastiest bits he can find in excruciating visual detail so that everyone suffers in equal measure :)) . When he said warhammer is for everyone he wasn't kidding: he wants everyone to think about magical frog poop.
I remember when my skink (I named him mister fast) from bloodbowl. He was so fast and scored so many points. To bad he was killed by that he got killed by that skaven. He will be remembered as one of my best players, like the troll (big Jhony) who made 2 touchdowns (one by intercepting a throw by a dwarfen team)
I just realised that functionally the lizardmen are basically the tyranids of fantasy. They use spawning pools that create groups of individuals whos soul purpose is to serve their overlords with utmost loyalty, and depending on the needs knew strains can be born to serve the needs of the collective. They just happen to be in a fairly subdued state.
True, real crocodiles and alligators don't need to fight the demons of Chaos, for that, we have our own Champion. Spawn of Chaos and its Bane... He is spoken of in hushed tones, on bated breath, he is... Florida Man!
Of all the faction rivalries in Fantasy Warhammer, none is as intense as Skaven VS Lizardmen. Two factions that specialize in guerrilla warfare, best battles that you will never see.
Thanks for this. Lizardmen is what originally got me into warhammer. Currently i'm getting back into 40k and converting up a lizardmen space marine army.
Scouts are the eyes and ears of any army, without them you will never know where too go. The two most important jobs is scout and logistics without either you may as well bend over and wait for the enemy too finish laying the pipe too you.
As someone whose only knowledge of this setting is some Arch videos. I thought 'The Skinks of Lustria' was a reference to some type of toxic sinkholes in the Jungle, used by the Skaven for some neferious purpose. Still an interesting video despite the lack of Skaven content. These overgrown lizards are making their way up the ladder of my favorite society/race in this setting.
Yes actually I have thought of how much waist things like that could produce. I've actually played a game where you have to figure that out and if you get it wrong your base could get flooded by sewage as your being raided at the same time which was amusing due to the explosion of sewage flooded both my guys and the enemy at the same time.
Me: Oh boy! A lore video on the topic of one of the most underserved and least recognised players in the great drama of Warhammer Fantasy! Arch: *T-o-A-d S-t-O-o-L* Me: L-lore for the Lore god..? o _O
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... TLDR shock tactics
Skink are a race of your High School Janitor. Constantly cleaning and fixing shit while also having little Hobbies creating little works of art and bonding with their flying dog.
Can confirm about the frog shit. At work I was moving 12 packs of cola off of a pallet and found a big pile of shit... well I smelled it first. I immediately thought rat without realizing they leave pellets not clumps, and then I look down the hole formed from the way the packs are found and there was a toad sitting there! How he got there? No clue. He was released back into the wild, so he’s doing fine.
Still no Wood Elf Lore considered the new Total War Warhammer DLC is about wood elves...disappoint. New Warhammer Lore video..i approve, thank you for all those lore videos :)
My google history now also includes frog poop. I'm not surprised, tbh. Frogs are hardcore as F. I've watched a frog literally eat a foot long poisonous centipede and also the mouse the giant F off centipede was eating, in one sitting. Frogs are the most metal animal there is.
