"Skaven are the saviours of the universe" XD couldn't agree more-more
Yes yes
If you think about it, nagash and sigmar truly are two sides of the same coin. They are both massively arrogant, stubborn and have both changed the realms as much as chaos. The stormcast are the same as the nighthaunt as well. Souls ripped away from a promised after life because a powerful personality deemed it so, and whatever that soul is transformed into is cursed to an horrific existence. Both are bound to that God whether they like it or not, the only difference is nagash doesn't hide it behind a facade.
Underrated comment
From what I've read, it seems that the souls taken by Sigmar may not be willing when they die and are taken by lightning to the anvil, but the battletomes then speak of months of painful reforging and testing. If its a test I cant see how someone who doesn't want to be in Sigmar's army could/would endure all that time. Perhaps its then a question of death or reforging, but I would think their binding to Sigmar would be a willed choice at that point.
I was under the impression that the Stormcast are willingly reforged
"The duardin underworlds remain unmolested." -Nagash.
Holy crap I want to take that God Royal Rumble and do something in an RPG with it SO BAD lol.
"Jesus with a flying clothesline to The Beast...he really got a hold of him on that one! Oh my! He's getting him on his feet and-wait WHAT?! IT'S VISHNU FROM THE SIDELINES WITH A STEEL CHAIR!! B'GAWD! Somebody stop the match! This is pure anarchy!"
*chef's kiss* 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed XD
Hey Doug~
Just a few specifications from a Nighthaunt Player : the original goal of the necroqwake was not to raise the dead but to annihilate all life in the Mortal Realms. But the Skaven took away some gravesand panels from the great black pyramid and changed the spell. And instead of killing everyone, Nagash sent out a massive wave of death-magic and raise up millions of spirits and corpses all over the realms~
That's still a very good silver medal :D but the Skaven really did unintentionally save the universe lol
This video was a clear example of what sets you apart from others Doug, it wasn't just an info dump, it wasn't a long winded opinion. Just a solid balance between lore and why you think it's cool.
You da best!
Vishnu with the metal chair had me cracking up 🤣 Love your videos dude - Thanks for the content.
Okay, hearing Kolob loom o’er the horizon like the Bad Moon is just such a funny image to me. Great joke!
I actually came up with a setra resurgence because of this, setra found himself at the shores of sheish and he was baffled bye what he saw, no golden land, no honorable greeting, only darkness and that usurper nagash. In pain and denial, setra used the only thing he had, his will. He bent the sands, the sky and the waters themselves in time to make his golden realm,,, but in the process became something more "the gods may have died, but I still remain Setra the imperishable, setra king of nehekara, setra the unbroken, setra the god king."
He formed a realm of his own of gold and light, khemeir, the realm of power and honor.
Setra becoming a God just makes sense to me.
I love your videos Doug! The lore makes it amazing, and your summaries really draw me in, even for factions I don’t love or play. But in this case, I’m a Nighthaunt junkie (they were my first army)
I could be wrong but the ghosts are all specifically people who don't get to go to their respective heavens? They're the sinners barred entry to Shyish and doomed to for the souls to fade away - or now be brought back by the power of the necroquake? It's not all people who die that become ghosts, it's those who died who's souls couldn't move on.
It's not that they couldn't move on, it's Nagash who enjoys punishing souls for eternity, doing in death what they didn't want in life. Or the opposite of what they did in life.
So a doctor could be made to slaughter people or something like that.
Like the Dreadscythe Harridans were healers in life, but in death they are forced to kill relentlessly, with no hands to do any good, but only blades to inflict pain and death.
Maybe before but now in the new battletome it says that all afterlifes (thanks to the death vortex in the middle of shyish) eventually becomes raw death magic for nagash and that all who die doesnt go to the afterlives anymore they all become nighthaunt :)
@@wrongix6544 I never liked this. It's a little to grimdark for my taste. You're choices after death are demonhood(if lucky and even then it's still a form of slavery imo) or become one of Sigmars or Nagash's slave soldiers.
@@placeholdername3818 Its true that its grimdark af but i love it :D Feels more epic that way.
@Mr Jayboo You are right there are still afterlives around but they are all slowly disappearing thanks to no new souls going there and all becoming nighthaunt. And the reason Nagash cant control the Nighthaunt is because when they where created in the necroquake some skavens went inside the ritual and with their chaotic nature the ritual didnt go as nagash had planned so he cant control all Nighthaunt at the same time cuz chaos? Idk i think that part is stupid... atleast the new nighthaunt should be able to be controlled by him but what do i know.
This Ex Mormon did NOT expect to hear about Kolob in this video about spoopy ghosts, I'll say that
Always love your lore videos. Thanks for the time and effort u spend on doing these for all of us.
Lugi’s mansion but with nighthaunt
Lore of the undead in a nutshell:
Step 1: Nagash builds a Black Pyramid
Step 2: Skaven destroy said Pyramid
Step 3: Nagash is pissed (although this migh be his default mood anyway)
Step 4: Go back to step 1
I love the nadir, it's such an awesome concept and their execution of the story was great. The ramifications were so felt
I Like the concept of punishment. I would make a nighthaunt Character, that was a sadistic criminal in live, and now in death, a Headhunter who hunts the criminals and nagashs enemys in shyish.
Could a vampire lord and nighthaunt go against and destroy Nagash? What would happen if Nagash was defeated?
That's definitely something that makes the faction interesting.
"Hands you an a musket and a 4XL codpiece"
Sounds about right for the Frerguild Guard. I respect it.
Keep these coming man, great stuff.
That WWE underworlds madness bit made me laugh out loud. Great vid Doug!
"....hands you a musket and a 4XL codpiece..." 🤣
This is beautiful
I like the implied possibility that a mortarch could overthrow Nagash one day.
I'm so exceptionally static that Lady Olynder is finally great! :D
Hang on, is this the Warhammer take on the wild hunt of folklore? Very interesting
i love u for making this video
Consider me spooked
The Skaven the one true enemy of Nagesh.
No not jesus. Someone grt him the steel ladder. He needs help get buddha to tag in
And comes Hades shivering in watch watch oh RKO on jeaus

Vishnu with a chair to Jesus's head.
Best line.
