Total War: WARHAMMER 2 – Skaven In-Engine Trailer

Bursting forth from their foetid under-hives, the Skaven have revealed themselves as the fourth playable Race in Total War: WARHAMMER II.

Their motives obscured, the devious Skaven are a highly numerous species who inhabit vast subterranean lairs. Now, their time of prophecy is upon us, and this verminous Race have emerged to spread pestilence and mayhem across the face of the New World.

How many Skaven slaves does it take to carry a ratling gun? 50, 2 to carry it, 48 for target practice.

If you count the number of chimes up to the battle scene at 1:07, you'll notice it the bell tolls 13 times. Lovely touch~

The Skaven is by far GWs greatest achievement when it comes to fantasy its a race truly of their own and to this day is still their most unique and most well fleshed out race that they can call their own in the fantasy genre. To those who helped turn the skaven to what they are should be proud of this accomplishment. their visuals are completely their own and along with their society, religion to just how they speek and move its truly special. I would even argue that the skaven are the most iconic race GW ever created even when comparing it to 40k. I simply can't think of any other race thats as unique and as fleshed out as them.

And the bell tolled 13 times

Bravo CA

I love the almost horror movie feeling of this trailer.

Seeing them walk through the fog to the sound of bells ringing, the fact that both sides hit them with everything they have yet it seems like their numbers never end.

Probably the best trailer for a race in both games imo

nice little effect having the bell ring 13 times!

[dazmaz]

"The great bell began to toll; once, twice, thrice; the slow, heavy waves swept across the city, Four, five, six times the bell rang; like the torpid pulse of a bronze giant. Seven, eight, nine; the rolling of the bell grew louder with each ring and the man-lings staggered back clutching their ears. Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen..."

Skaven, putting guardsmen to shame over how expendable they are.

[Chipawapa]

Seeing that Saurus stop a rat ogre in its tracks gives me newfound respect for the lizardmen.

[alexanderrose]

B-b-but WE WERE TOLD THEY DIDNT exist!

[VigiliaMortisYT]

Imagine how many models GW would be selling right now if they hadn't done the End Times

[berserker]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think I saw some of the skaven getting run over and trampled by their own forces. If so that's some lore lore friendly stuff.

Play in 144p for true Kislev experience.

[antzon]

hell pit just brutally unleashed a beatdown on that poor black dragon

[Warrior_of_Sparta]

Best WH2 trailer so far! The ringing bell getting louder and more intense was a nice touch!

[GotCoop]

1:36 QUEEK CONFIRMED AS LEGENDARY LORD CHOICE FOR SKAVEN! YES-YES! Think-wonder if Grey Seer Thanquol is another. That good-good if true.

[unatttended]

The Witch hunters are gonna have a long days work ahead of them!

[KirunoTheWise]

It would appear the Skaven have as many casualties just reaching the enemy as in the fight itself in this trailer! Trampling their own warriors, and even the wagon squishing their own on that.... extremely awesome scene.

[Hlieyto]

I hope for cute marching noises for the Stormvermin like in Vermintide.

So cute, yet so deadly.

I wish a RPG was made where you could play as a Skaven, and make your way from Clan Rat to the table of the Lords of Decay, with all the politics and backstabery that comes with that, oh and mutations we can't forget about mutations, the Horned Rat wouldn't be happy if we forgot, oh and eating of man-beasts, Man-made Curry with Rice taste like Chicken Curry with rice, I've beenreliably informed by a source :)
