Honestly the laboratory is a useless piece of content that they shouldn't of wasted anyones time with. The majority of games online aren't even on ultra unit setting, and you'll be hard pressed to find a game with more than 4 players that doesn't lag already. Most people are concerned about having a smoother game, or maybe they could of gotten us another free lord. A tool to break the game is "fun" for maybe 1 use and was not worth the time and money they spent on it. Why commercial for abortion gamemode anyways? Why not give the new scaven lord a commercial? I would call that a waste also but i would at least understand it. It's like they don't realize how to make a game. ER DS, I would be surprised if you've ever even used the laboratory with such a cheery attitude towards what is the worst addition so far to a total war:warhammer game. And your ignorant fanboy blabbering is making my games shitty so please don't keep spreading your opinion you obviously formed from watching a commercial.

If it never looses its potency does that mean when warpstone is "consumed" that the skaven piss it out later? Or does it only loose its potency when it's inside a living thing?

"Most precious of all substances, the pulse of our life. If the Horned Rat is our father, then surely, Warpstone is our mother. Its uses are infinite. Like the heart of an endless fire, it is. Even the smallest of pieces will continue to give power indefinitely, allowing many of our devices to become somewhat portable. Warpstone fire can not only consume a substance, but actually change it’s structure to far more than just ‘burned’ due to exposure to it’s holy flames. Weapons made from Warpstone produce their own poison. A Warpstone charm brings real luck, changing what ‘was to be’ to what ‘might have been’ with none the wiser. So where does it come from? There are those among the more superstitious of our folk and a few foolish Grey Seers that believe Warpstone is the leavings of the Horned Rat. I subscribe to the secular view - that it is chunks of the dark moon, Morskrit, which has managed to gift us with pieces of its essence. Dangerous it is; to touch Warpstone often. But that’s what slaves are for, yes-yes?" -Narshift, Warlock Engineer of Clan Skryre.

As I always understood it, Wyrdstone was technically different, because it was a safer form of Warpstone. In rare cases, by random chance of circumstances, Warpstone would form in a more stable or pure state, and be much safer to use - Wyrdstone. Not saying its a different substance altogether, just that I believe there IS a difference between the two, sort of like how there's a difference between coal and diamond even though they're both made of carbon.

Perfect timing Arch! Just as I'm writing my quest that might or not involve warpstone.
Warpstone never loses its potency? That's like every robotics engineer's wet dream!
Are Greyseers insane because they spend so much time around warpstone, or do they spend so much time around warpstine because they're insane?
Its starting to sound like if you took a clock and plugged it into warpstone, you'd have a time machine.
Your videos are so good each time you upload I’m so happy 😊
Thanks Arch! Always love a new lore video, stay safe mate!
Huge fan. Warp stone mutation huge. But seriously, the background music in this vid is so subtle I paused several times thinking there was something in the room with me. Well played, Arch.
One of my most favorite episodes :D Thank you Arch.
2:02 Intresting point is, that Chaos gains the form you believe in. That means that even it is always the same warpstone, means not it function everytime in the same way due to Chaos works. So if I have a warpstone it will heal me, because I believe in it, while the same warpstone will kill me, if a skaven touches it because I believe in that the warpstone is now corrupted. If you use a warpstone it gains the ability you believe in, think thats how Chaos works(?)

Bonus Fact. Before a minotaur can claim his place as the guardian of a temple or shrine dedicated to the Dark Gods, part of his initiation (after killing the previous guardian, of course) is to bear-hug and lift a massive hunk of warpstone. He must do this until he either succumbs to uncontrollable mutation and death, or is deemed worthy by the Chaos Gods and receives their blessing. At such time, the burns he received from holding such a massive amount of warpstone against his body are transformed into runes and words of power carved into his flesh, and he spends the rest of his life guarding the temple or shrine, offering up the possessions of those who might attempt to plunder said temple or shrine as tribute to the Chaos Gods.

Arch Warhammer, is there warpstone (or something similar) in WH40k? Or is it rather phenomenon specific for warhammer fantasy universe (or planet if keeping both in same universe)?
So how does warpstone work? If I dump a load of it in a river would it's mutagenic effect apply to the things coming in contact with the water or would it only effect the stuff near the stone itself?

Warpstone is a solidified form of Dark Magic (Dark Magic is when all the "Winds of Magics" are combined). Anyway, warpstone radiates dark magic in the same way that a fire radiates heat and the negative effect would affect both things in the water and things near the stone
