Won't be long now, I suppose.

So, definitely Warpfire throwers confirmed, and probably Hellpit Abominations from the sound of it, excelllllent.

Sounds like heresy to me.

There's also another part of the Ritual that has a video this time. The clue for it is on Total War's facebook page.

There's also this which I'm not sure how it ties into other things. A neat interactive piece.

As for the trailer, I like that the Warpfire Thrower has two manning it . Lord Skrolk and Queek Headtaker as the lords. The engineer pumping the Doomwheel along, and the rats running in the wheels are great. The Hell Pit Abomination looks incredible. There was also a Dark Elf sorceress and the Dark Elf harpies.


Yay! Skaven!

Was that General Grevious's Bike in the trailer at 1:17?

Ninjad, guess that was the Doomwheel.

No ratling gun. 😞

Does ratling guns fire ratlings?

I must I was very much in love with the gobbo throwers.

Here's a few more images.

Skaven Warpfire Throwers and Clanrats vs Skinks and Kroxigors.  I like their large, green goggles.

Skaven Doomwheel with Rat Ogre charging some Dark Elves. There's also some, I think, Gutterrunners. It's a toss up between Gutter Runners and Night Runners as those units look rather similar.


Ratling gun is just a punny name. It's a gatling gun that shoots warpstone bullets that are very good against armoured units.

Skryre is unplayable.
... for now.

Are globe throwers available?

[timferius]

Someone mentioned there are globadiers in one of the kids. I'm so hype, Doom wheel jump, and abomination smack down were highlights.

[Tack]

There we go. It's just waiting for the Skaven/Lizards expansion.
Maybe Moulder will get Rogres, too.

Here's an article by WCCFTech that covers a few of the Skavens mechanics and such.

Spoiler: List from information in article (click to show/hide)

- Skaven cities are invisible to other factions, looking like ruins. This means they can raise armies without other factions knowing it.
- "The Menace Below" mechanic allows things like calling in troops during battles anywhere on the map. So during a siege you could summon units within an enemy city. It's also managed by the Skaven resource "food".
- "Food" is a resource Skaven have. Food can be used to increase a settlements growth rate, summon troops through "The Menace Below" as well as increasing public order and leadership.
- "Stalk" stance. It allows the Skaven to move towards an enemy army and ambush them.
- 4 Ritual effects, 2 of which are "DOOOOM Engineer" which blows up a city reducing its tier and damaging buildings and a "Pestilent Scheme Prist" that can cause a plague in an enemies province, causing attrition and other effects. It can also be caught and spred by enemy armies.

There was Poisonwind Globadiers right near the beginning of the trailer. There's also a Warplightning Cannon visable behind them. 7 seconds into the trailer. Also the Screaming Bell after that being rung by a Rat Ogre.

Edit: Screenshot of two Warplightning Cannons and Poisonwind Globadier. You can also see a Warlord/Chieftain just ahead of them.

Screenshot of Queek Headtaker with a Hell Pit Abomination. Ooh, also a Plagueclaw Catapult (Clan Pestilens catapult that flings globs of diseased matter.)

Also: From another article in German from Gamestar.

Spoiler:  Information (click to show/hide)

- Skaven Corruption is dangerous to the Skaven themselves as well.
- Loyalty means Skaven lords must be pleased. Being given bribes of units, items and so forth.

No ratling gun.

I think there was one at 1:25 in the trailer.

In hindsight, I now think it's a warpfire thrower.

That's a warpfire thrower.

I edited that in. Yeah, you're right. Shame that. Wonder if it can be modded in using the assets available.
