Thanquol: “GREAT HORNED RAT, Ikit Ikit, you just shot-killed all all our skaven slaves!” Ikit: “Eh.”

Seeing this made me think "Huh I wonder what Deathglobes, Wind Mortars, Warpfires or Jezzails only would look like?" Came to the mental consensus that it would be a lot harder, due to building tiers and unit tiers the only one that could possibly look similar to this Ratling Gun Only vid would be Warpfires, I know first-hand the auto resolve adores warpfire throwers for some reason even though they usually bathe your own rats in green fire before the enemy.

@Adierit

5 ай бұрын

Warpfire throwers are meant to be your frontline. They directly counter melee infantry, they themselves have 70 armor base making them have something like 50% damage reduction as well as having that magic damage based flamethrower that completely bypasses armor and melee resistance. Its leadership debuff also makes them route, so if you combo warpfire throwers with ratling guns or warplock jezzails behind them they are a deadly combo.

@janp5063

Jezzails works even better, once they are Tier 9 and have full range you kill 3-4 Units at the start of the battle. Then its over in under 1 minute most of the time.

@microcosms2420

poison/Deathglobes are probably the most op unit skaven has imo. They can arc their shots over infantry and walls better than any other weapons team. they move faster than most weapons teams. They can actually scale walls, making them the best ranged unit during seiges. Just poison globes already have pretty similar dps to the warpfire thrower, with the deathglobes blowing everything out of the water with their dps outpput. Sheilds dont seem to be a big nuisance either, since the bombs explode and inflict a status regardless if they hit a shield or not. Same when they attack units on walls, their shots dont seem to be blocked as much as other ranged fire can be, AND since their status spreads to the entire squad if just one hits, its no question their value in seige battles. Theyre even upgraded to be anti-large, making them arguably one of skaven's best ranged unit against large opponents too. A full deathstack of deathglobes is one of the strongest armies in the game to have (i think) since they pretty much melt through everything that comes at them in virtually every situation you come across. I really have a hard time thinking how you could counter such a force without using a ridiculous amount of artillery or a dozen dragons. as for the other weapons teams, Warpfires are great because theyre cheap and expendable, but you cant seige for shit with them. They also are not going to stand up to shielded infantry mixed with monstrous infantry. And their range is quite miserable making armored piercing ranged units a pain to deal with. While Jezzails... Jezzails just kinda stink imo. Theyre great for their range, but not for much of anything else. Jezzails dont melt through infantry quite like the other weapons teams do. Theyre great for sniping ranged units and artillery, but a full stack of jezzails will quickly get trampled on by a simple horde of shielded infantry.

Currently losing my shit on how the skaven run plays out like a literal shitpost lmao "Our lord just unicycled to the middle of the city, claimed it was his, and the dwarves just agreed and left"

Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs are all about living out the power fantasy of brute forcing your way through a medieval fantasy setting, which tends to heavily favor swords and sorcery, with military technology that's several centuries ahead of everyone else

Yeah, one of Morghur's abilities is that he never stays wounded for longer than 1 turn, regardless of the circumstances. Add that Clan Skrye's thing is weapons teams even when you aren't doing a challenge, and it makes him one of the biggest hurdles for Ikit Claw's early game.

11:32 Belegar Ironhammer: "Why'd you abandon Karak Izor?" The City's Army: "The Skaven took it." Belegar: "Then how are you alive?" CA: "What I mean is, their Commander took it." Belegar: "Wait. So he simply walked in, and declared the city as his?" CA: "Ay." Belegar: "Without his army?" CA: "Ay." Belegar: ". . ." CA: ". . ." Belegar: "I'm taking the city back."

“80% of our casualties were from friendly fire” _Peak Skaven Gameplay_

You know, this video should have been titled: "How to win at Warhammer 3 with only friendly fire."

Siege battles as the Skaven without Poison Wind Mortars are just a massive ball ache. Other than that though, I love playing with this army.

Home defense with my uranium loaded 300rpm gattling gun as the founding ratlings intended.

"whoever said 'the pen is mightier than the sword' clearly never saw a gatling gun"

Referring to the dwarfs as 5’11 is one of the funniest and most true things I’ve heard

A 5'11" Dwarf would be staggeringly tall. Also, LORD that slow movement speed for Dwarfs is crippling, especially in city battles.

I love how every video on Skaven involves an astronomical number of friendly fire incidents. I guess it's inevitable when your brain is being turned to swiss cheese by Chernobyl-levels of radiation

These ambushes seem more like unlucky fellows who just got caught in the crossfire of 2 different gangs.

Its so awesome to see your growth and confidence build with your videos! My favourite one yet, yes yess

14:35 - 14:40 This quote makes me want to see you play Dwarves.

The commentary was honestly on point in this video.

i love the panic at 11:35 when you spot your ratling guns firing into the back of another unit and just dropping their healthbar

"RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA" "RAT-RODENT STILL HAVE MORE GUN-BULLET FOR YOU FLESH-HUMAN"

"And the Dwarves just agreed" They probably heard of some Dwarven Settlement offering free booze to the Dwarf with the Longest Beard, and everyone came rushing to partake, even those without beards, they just glued a Skaven to their face.

I don't know why but i got a moment of self reflection that just made my suffering through the last couple of years seem really stupid. Thanks mate. I don't know how or why a video about rats shooting at everything that moves helped me but yeah... Life is a big mystery

Dude, this video is full of brilliant writing 15:47 😂 what a treat. from start to finish, you can tell that this video is a product of passion and love!

I didn't know CA recreated the predator jungle shooting scene almost shot for shot in the trailer for the prophet and warlock DLC until you used the clip from it in your video. My life is now better because of it. Thank you.

"Today I am going to be playing the Skaven incorrectly" ... but you didn't. The only way to play Skaven incorrectly is by some of them working together peacefully. Genocide by nuclear bombardement, eating your own troops alive and friendly fire galore? That's just a random Tuesday for Skaven...

'if I dont know my plan then the enemy never sees it coming' is the most skaven thing I ever heard! keep on ratling!

Dwarves are my favorite, but tortoises on ketamine still made me laugh out loud.

Outro should be just a montage of rats shooting whilst some crazy classic music is playing! Great video bte cheers.

If the majority of your kills aren't friendly fire, are you even really playing Skaven?

As someone who's favorite lord is Ikit Claw I love this. Would be interesting to see if you could pull this off but with the Warpstone Grinders. I feel they're so underappreciated.

Your commentary is very, very entertaining. I don't play this game nor have much interest in warhammer fantasy, so that i sat through this entire video is very showing.

Incredibly funny sub-theme of edited Warhammer campaigns that Morghur absolutely refuses to die to any amount of ratling bullets.

Me seeing ratling gunners: its just like the founding fathers intended (lol)

Somewhere, a greenskin finds a discarded ratling gun, picks it up and likes how it sounds. Thus began the Orks' 40,000 year journey to find "enuff dakka".

If I don't even know my own genius plan, then they definitely dont -every skaven scheme.

I literally just don't understand how you manage to be this funny
