I submit that this thread be closed on grounds of blasphemy. To add to the discussion in the event that this thread is not closed per my request: The best example stated above was comparing warpstone to electricity. Thinking in RL terms, just about everythign we deal with involves electricity in some way shape or form. Such is the ways of warpstone for Skaven. In before "guns(or some similar common object) don't use electricity" : Clanrat swords and armor don't use warpstone. |

Why yes, yes it does. Just imagine superman all cranked up on warpstone and as paranoid as Thnaquol but with all that power. When it comes down to it I think skaven use warpstone in everything for a few reasons. First off it is the blessed stone of the horned rat making it looked down on when not using it. Secondly it probably has great energy efficiency when used as a power source compared to steam or gunpowder which are both very inefficient with most of the energy lost to heat. Finally it is poisonous to everyone but the skaven have a comparably high tolerance to the stuff and just dont value life, using it in battle is win-win for them. |

Why WOULDN'T they build without it? ![]() It makes everything better! With the slight downside that it kills the Skaven using it... But there's a lot more Skaven than warpstone so it all evens out in the end. |

In WH40k the Orks that paint their trucks red go faster; because red makes everything faster. In this sense; red is equated with "good". Using the same line of reasoning, apply warpstone. Warpstone is just another word for "good" "And on the thirteenth day, The Great Horned Rat gave us Warpstone. And the Warpstone was good" -Genesis 13:13 |

(insert clever title here)

I imagine the 13th commandment going something like this: "Thou shalt stab thine enemy in the back, and thou shalt do the same to thine friend, for he is higher in rank than thou" Maybe we could come up with 12 more skaveny commandments, like the stuff on the warpstone column the Horned Rat conjured up. |

After reading this topic I have decided to use more warpstone in EVERYTHING I create/kitbash for Skaven. Also I will repaint the battering ram head to be warpstone and not the inferior steel metal it currently is. PRAISE THE HORNED RAT I HAVE COME TO MY SENSES AND BEEN DELIVERED!! |

Warpstone is crack. As soon as the little guys wake up, they think of how they can get more of it. They use it in everything. Sun up to sun down. Their lives are controled by it. They exist for warpstone. At least Clan Skryre anyway. |

Made of 110% Skaven!

"Warpstone! Made with Warpstone! Real Warpstone! What's Warpstone? I dunno, but it tastes GREAT! Warpstone gives you lots of ENERGY! Because it has lots of ENERGY! Five different kinds of ENERGY! You need lots of ENERGY! Because you'll be BEATING EVERYONE AT EVERYTHING! Warpstone makes you WIN AT EVERYTHING! It'll make you wonder what it feels like to ROLL OVER YOUR ENEMIES IN A GIANT WHEEL! But you wont need to because you'll already know how that FEELS! Which is like SHOOTING LIGHTNING FROM YOUR TAIL! Warpstone makes you SHOOT LIGHTNING FROM YOUR TAIL! So buy WARPSTONE and SHOOT LIGHTNING FROM YOUR TAIL FROM ON TOP OF A SIX STORY GIANT ROLLING DEATH MACHINE PUSHED BY PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP YOU!" |
