Arriving in the worlds Edge Mountains they encounter the Dwarfs and thus begin the millennia long Goblin Wars.

Their foe Sigmar and the newly united tribes of humanity blunt their invasion and found the Empire itself. Support

Finally, we touch on the many beasts that are found within their encampments and armies including that most ubiquitous of beasts, the

We examine the techno-warlocks of Clan Skryre and their horrific engines of war; The suppurating monks of Clan Pestilens and the many diseases they carry; The Frankensteinesque beastmasters of Clan Moulder with their Rat Ogres and Abominations leading the charge; and the stealthy assassins and informational-warriors (it’s a phrase!) of Clan Eshin. All of this and more as we turn our back on

In this episode, the first of our 5 part Skaven exposé, we discuss Skaven origins encapsulated in the morbid poem “Doom of Kavzar”. We discuss the Darwinist nature of their society, clans, and their ravenous obsession with warpstone. We explore whether the Horned Rat and Nurgle are brothers from another mother or just brothers in rotted and smelly arms? We join the first great expansions from Skavenblight, after the Great Machine malfunctions, as they come into conflict with Greenskins and Dwarves

In this, our second episode, we focus on the topic of Chaos ...aos ...aos and dive a bit deeper into the four chaos gods a.k.a The Happytime Funsters, their purviews and legions, and ponder the process of their design (we suspect a set random beast tables). We follow this with a brief discussion the Winds of Magic (Chamon-mutha***er!) and what happens when things get out of balance. We end with a nice lump of Dhar Warpstone.
