I believe it was Hired Gun where the way you "hack" a servitor that handles a door is you just start smacking thier head around yelling "OPEN THE drat DOOR"

warhams fantasy, not 40k. skaven, which is a signature warhams fantasy and aos faction not replicated in 40k (they thought about it in the 90s and decided no. also the joke is that the imperium is the 40k equivalent, which has its points). main books is thanquol's doom and headtaker, which is a character study of queek. specific quote is from rise of the horned rat

the skaven are an entire race of backstabbing little rats, who have as a central tenet of their religion backstabbing. clan mors are heretics that believe in loyalty, and gnawdwell is the lord of clan mors and arch-heretic on this point. queek, the son, is the one with a model tho.

even more heretical is ska bloodtail, queek's own right-paw rat, who is unflinchingly loyal in every way and is literally the only skaven character ever depicted as so

rise of the horned rat kinda sucks except for the pull-quote, as one of the end times books (but among them, it's one of the better ones). headtaker is ok

A Mad Max world of Gang style warfare



Necromunda was my first big introduction to warhams. I was like 10 years old, could afford a small gang over time with my allowance, and the store had at least a dozen active players in a league complete with a weekly in-universe newsletter with summaries of important matches. I miss my Escher girls. My gang leader caught a stray bullet and died in my first match. This then prompted the next two members in line to feud for leadership, leading to one of them getting banished. Down two models after my first game was a rough entry, but life is harsh on Necromunda.

In Darktide one of the maps takes the players through a little Enforcer (police) checkpoint, complete with detention cells and an interrogation room.

If you bother to look down in the cell corridor you realize that past the metal grating is a giant, running grinder, and all the cells have trapdoors

Hired Gun's most effective moment for me came when I noticed that in addition to there being an upgrade tree for your character's own cybernetic implants, there was one for your large but normalish looking dog companion. I bought the first one and immediately felt like a monster as the dog's regular mouth was replaced by crude iron jaws.

I liked WHFB more than 40k.

I had never once heard of that book or sub clans or sub characters and I adore that you have shared that context. Thank you!

queek is also a general in total war warhammers 2 and 3 (immortal empires), if you wanna play a AA videojame with him

because of the difference from 40k, skaven are one of the most popular factions back in whfb and still in aos

One of my favorite fluff quotes about this is:


The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn. And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.
