Well then, lets see if this version fixes peoples problems with playing the video, one can only hope!

Other races runes: Simply engrave the symbol with the desired magic. Dwarf Runes: Sing a song while the metal is exactly 1,096 degrees while pissing into a troll skull three times during a leap year.

Arch: “I think I deserve an ad.” KZfaq: “Nah”

In the warhammer roleplaying system 1st edition, runes of slaying are parts of the master rune class of runes. I.e. the most advanced runes in existence. It does make sense, though. In that system a rune of slaying will instantly slay anything it even inflicts a single wound on. Not even the most ancient powerful dragon is safe from a simple dagger. Also, you might want to look into Klauser's runes.

BY THE GOD EMPEROR, A HERETIC OF NURGLE LETTING HIS GRAMMAR DECAY INTO OBLIVION

It should be noted that, in the lore at least, despite their drop off in production Dwarfs still have far more magical equipment compared to other races aside from the elves. While there are plenty of random beastlords out there that have no magic items, and a good number of impirial generals or Ork warbosses take to feild with mundane equipment, or only one minor magic items, it's pretty much unheard of to face a dwarf Lord who is not equiped with multiple rune items. This is why Dwarf and Elf Lord's are often on par with a lot of the bigger scarier things that go bump in the night like chaos and vampire Lord's, even though at base they are not THAT far off from a human in physical ability.

May I humbly request a Lore Video on the Goblin Kamikaze Catapult? A supreme work of Orc technology. It would be very fun to talk about I bet.

Of course the dwarfs would turn magic into a programming language...

Imagine if an elven lore master and a master rune Smith became friends became friends with an empire master engineer

I can just imagine a fly farting and disrupting the rune just for the dwarf to start chucking stuff at the fly xD

at 10:20 you mention "if a fly so much as farts in the vicinity" in ancient norse mythology, Loki, transformed into a fly, interrupted a dwarven master smith and therefore caused Mjolnir the hammer of thor to turn out not quite perfect... its said it would have been a full handled long sledge and not a hand hammer. however as the legend goes Thor was none the bit daunted and loved his weapon as both a hand melee piece and a throwing piece.

Glad to hear that you like the Background. Interesting lore video as always.

My theory on why runes are so hard to make is because of the dwarfs changing personality, I think the reason the Dwarves suffering in a lack of rune production after the War of the Beard and the Great Cataclysm is because they believe that they were too lenient with an inherently untrustworthy enemy that being the High Elves, the believe that leniency caused the ancestor gods to forsake them which the Dwarves believe caused the Great Cataclysm ,and when the Dwarves became a less lenient and more careful and consequently stagnant then the runes become more carefully made in nature.

omg that was the most honest, sincere, and hilarious advertisment ever. I listen to the radio all day at work and the dishonesty has me literally screaming out loud. So ty. subscribed

What is that enthusiastic creature in the left? It looks a tad too pleased with Arch's presence.

Why is the skaven dressed like a pilgrim from the 17th century

I always wanted to do a War of Vengeance list, because the thought of being able to put three Master Runes on a single Bolt Thrower sounded like a lot of fun.

I've been going through warhammer fantasy pnp 2nd edition sourcebooks recently; in realms of sorcery in some of the parts describing the golden order they mention an in-universe theory they've formed about dwarfs' particular relation with winds of magic. Paraphrased, the logic goes like this: dwarfs covet gold most of any other race => gold is a natural draw of the wind of chamon => there are rumours of some renegade dwarfs far east consistently turning to stone when they dip themselves into using magic in a more direct way => dwarfs must be so saturated with the yellow wind, they cannot do anything with all the other winds. Thus the formation of their exceptionally rigid culture and it being reflected in their approach to all things, including their use of magic.

The jar labeled "Feminazi Tears" is a nice touch

Hark the coming of thy Loremaster. Greatest art thou amongst the dispensers of knowledge!

"If it's just blinking randomly, things are going to get very interesting, REAL god-damn quickly." Your talent for comic understatement, like your color commentary, is an absolute treasure. One of Norway's *national* treasures, even. Never ever change, Arch. :D

Are you sure that this is not about the vampire counts?? Cause this video came back from the dead..

Thank Grimnir a Dwarf video!!! That’s one grudge out of the book for the last elf video.

Why does Arch have a sharply dressed rat-man in his office? I have *several* concerns.

I can just see a runesmith with a sense of humor, it is a scary thing

32:53 it could even be cooling it in the tears of an virgin DARK elf.

Isn’t the rune of slaying a master rune, which tends to be one of the more powerful types of runes compared to the regular ones?

Wanted a lore video on Here runes, got one on There runes instead

FOR THE SEVEN ANUSED RAT!!!

With runesmithing in mind and All of the bloody factions and "jobs"...i could see this becoming quite an awesome mmorpg, the big bulking wars, could infact simply be people Wanting to go to war or to try to capture the other faction's base of operation, course a game like that and make it an mmorpg would be ungodly difficult, but i could see it becoming probably one of the more played mmos, specificaly if for example you play as the Imperial Humans you would have a whole waterfall of choises to go for of what to become and what to work towards, could even make it more of an economic standing where the player of each faction whom is the leader, could set rules, laws and even the economic standing, again, ungodly difficult to make, but would be played but not even Warhammer fans but also ppl who simply never heard of it.

Yay! An avatar In Arch's true likeness!

These guys make Techpriest Enginseers look positively open and honest. There are more than a few techpriests who jealously guard knowledge of how to make something like an astartes plasma cannon all their lives and only teach an apprentice how to do it when they’ve forgotten half the steps due to space Alzheimer’s but letting crucial secrets of technology die with them because they don’t respect anyone else? Not even they go that far. Runesmiths really are drama queens.

It would make sense to me that re-charging a rune would follow similar steps but entirely distinct from its creation. I bet some runes are actually cheaper to re-make wholesale than to recharge them this way!

Hey Arch just wanted to say thank you for the Lodge Channel I just found it subscribed and it's amazing.

"their" runes

I did a small conversion to my Hero Quest Dwarf, gave him one of the Face Plates. And Whalaa.. A Rune Smith. Also have one of the Iron Claw Dwarfs, that resembles a Rune Smith. When facing a Magic Wielding Army, them Runes of Spell Breaking are handy. ;)

I would love a Lore video about Ghouls. Nice vid as usual!

Have there ever been rogue Dwarfs that rebelled against the slow methodical progression of weapons and runes? I imagine there had to of, in the thousands of years,been a dwarf that tried Rapidly developing something new. So said dwarf gets banished from his Kaarak,pinned as some mad scientist. So then he is either forced to becoming a hermit with his own personal lab,or rune forge,or travel amongst humans to work with there engineers

I always love these long lore videos. Thanks for the 44 minutes of entertainment! :)

Love the adorable fluffy skaven background

Now here's another question, is it possible for other races to learn and/or create runes (either from the dwarves or independently)? More importantly, is it possible to have a way of doing so without having every dwarf that hears about it NOT swear an eternal Grudge on you for doing so?

I was trying to paint a mini and you do the hammer joke bad timing

that new background is cool

This was, shall we say, a pretty good video. Thanks Arch :)

Wait I already watched this. Is this some warp shenanigans?

01:45 And this is why I wish the Dawi were allowed to set up Runic Wards around the Vortex. They would've done a better job containing it than the damn knife ears.

If I was a runesmith, and if it takes so much time to do 1 rune, I´d prefer some variation in my job. You know, I´d prefer to do new thing. But this can be detrimental as well because building the same stuff is easier, as practice improves skills. I imagine as well, as ending a perfect rune, the anxiety would grow exponentially, as an envy fellow runesmith would want to do some prank in another work. ;) This would be the ultimate troll.

Cegorach put himself the misspell in the title and is delighted seeing all of us Mon'key tremble in front of the grammatical error.

Would it be possible for the runesmiths to be ordered to pass their runes on,or not really? as I believe Thorgrim Ordered the Engineers guild tp produce the Gyrocopter and not subject it to hundreds of years of "testing'?

The new background is awesome!

the character on that art work looks looked like a muppet for a second.

automated anvils and rune carvers? holy crap the dwarves had power hammers and CNC machines!

I swear elves use runes too which gives the magical effect on magical items.

Thanks for reuploadong this, it works fine now😀

Thank you for the hours of lore....great to listen to while driving cross country in my semi

Glow globes: because even dwarfs made elephant lamps in rune-school. Golumns: the group project final was to do your runic limb, as if every group succeeded, you had a troop for the golumn army.

Gotta love the Skaven in a suit. And also the warpstones.

Still listen to your fantasy content and my grandson loves it

Flies are Nurgle’s troll machines.

16:46 thats why I come here every so often to get some backround lightbulb bullshit going on

?Do we know what runes Gotreks axe has?

Love the information,Thanks brother

He is back!

Good antention to details :D

Maybe the dwarves were really good at one point, at figuring out if a rune was going to work or not, allowing them to scrap the work before they wasted any more time?

Hell, that's the first time the AD's actually played for me.

I like your old video Arch. When you played the background music

How to get a master runesmith to build anothers' weapon/mass produce said weapon, "bet you can't build one better than this guy!" Proceed to watch the dwarf fly into a rage and build a better weapon with the same runes, take that weapon back to the first guy/next guy, rinse and repeat until you have a full armory of the same weapons(roughly). =profit.

Funny thing is, it is actually the skaven that is Arch.

Dwarven runic glow globes: the shop class lamp of warhammer fantasy dwarves.

Whats going on here... It just disappeared. Maybe its that loading thing everyone was talking about on the last one. I didnt have any problems though.

It"s CHAOS again! Somebody call for Witch Hunters!

The sever butted Rat amulet nice

Good video arch

Dark Eldar sketch over the shoulder? Xenos-love? Wait for your local Inquisitor for being troughly checked....

Is a spiritual connection anything like an... emotional connection?

Arch is that a skaven in nice clothing in the background?

The add was actually timed to the video. KZfaq actually got it right for a change.

*Obligatory comment about how the title should be 'their' not 'there'*

Repost why?

6:44 Jealousy used correctly.

Yeah I saw the cheeky title switcherooni.

17:30 bloody hell that got confusing very fast no wonder why they can't recreated some of the thing that their ancestors were able to make

I feel cheated again... no advert.

How about learning from "working example" Do You think it should be possible for medium expirienced runecrafter to learn how to make rune from collected runic item ?

The Skaven in the suit is kawaii as fuck. Squeak-Squeak.

i suppose im delusional to think the necklace in the art is the skaven pendant of mutation?

Can we get a video on the Dwarf Slayers??

So do dwarfs only make runes made by the ancestor gods or do they refuse to make runes other smiths have already made

I really enjoy your videos, if you require a french translator i'm totally in

Did you change your audio setup? I listen to your lore videos while driving to and from work. However this one was much quieter

Tear of virgin elf? Elf? Truly absurdity.

I see that Ultramarines logo on the back of that book in the background.

Forgive me, One Rune to rule them all?

sick beard my guy

Make lore video about Ironbreakers and Irondrakes (Istory, tactics, doctrine,...) Yea i play Ironbreaker class in V2 a lot, thats why i ask you to do this lore.

New art piece was drawn seconds before the skaven stabbed arch in the back.

what exactly is the difference between a runesmith and runelord? is a runelord just a smith but better or is he a lord who also happens to be a smith?

automated golem.. why wargaming never made one.

Fething warp fraking
