the dwarves get fucked over super hard in the end times and a lot of the times its because of the rats imposing their rat dominance over them like queek speaking the the sacred language of the dwarf's to Belegar Ironhammer before fighting and killing him just to fuck with him in his final moments. and Ikit claw sending hellpit abominations into the Slayer stronghold and had them filled with poison bombs so the slayers would die shameful deaths.

Oh the irony we can look back upon this video with. Rest In Peace, Sean Connery
More range then after no nut November...... I’m dead ☠️
Great job with Monty Python: How bot to be seen! I love it!
The Ave Maria in the background for this hitman was a nice touch.
That Sean Connery joke hits different.
Based on the strength of this video (and the jokes and newsreels), I'm going to merrily binge your entire playlist. Have a sub.
Love the subtle Sicilian chorus. Fitting for Evil Splinter I adore the PSA, also possibly quite real thing given Scryer crazy tech

@@originalmetalman9430 That's actually kind of the point. In this lore of fantasy with rat assassins and mountain moving gods... they added in Japan as literally themselves? It's glorification and oddly tone-deaf. There are many ways to allude to the East's great cultures - just not treating them like an exotic experience. It'd be great if they entered in a Samurai like Island to the far east, that's fine and dandy, just with more flair than LITERALLY calling them Japan. Because, like I said, that's treating them like an exotic experience rather than an actual real civilization... which they are. Edit: And as Cody here showed us... it's not GW first time being tone-deaf. I mean those caricatures holy shit I knew GW had a racist rough start but DAMN.

You're recreation of Monty Python's "And now for something completely different" Was fantastic!!!!
That was a fantastic skaven speech. Good job
While you were studying warpstone, I studied the blade
Man I wish i got that "you wont actually learn anything from this" before i watched it
awesome work !!
OMG that skaven movie picture segment was the best. i love skaven chatter
I love the subtle switch to the shogun 2 ost
Well the reason why a clan eshin dlc came with a pair of clan skyre units is because the skaven unit roster is almost compleate and clan Eshin did not have that manny units to begin with compared to the other clans. The only things missing are: Clan Moulder: Giant/Wolf rats(,... maybe tunneling Beasts). Mounts: Great Poxrats, Brood Horrors, Clan Skyre: Stormfiends, Verminlords and a few legendary lords. The two most important missing ones being Thanquol and Throt the Unclean.
I can´t wait to unleash devilish schemes onto my unsuspecting foes, in the game everyone will probably know who the culprit was indicated by a diplomatic relation hit but Snikch just frowns and doesn´t care about diplomatic shenanigans. Thank you for the heads up on Snikch, loved the video. We (I) need a noob´s guide on the only truly benevolent leader in the Warhammer universe, Khalida.
Your skaven guides are your best work
I don’t know a damn thing about this game or universe but your videos and explanations are too funny

Got to love a bit of flying circus thrown into the mix
Non-stop fire, clever wordplays, and an American referencing Monty Python. 10/10.
