Plus, the plot thickens with more reveals that suggest a new edition of the game may be imminent.
Over the weekend, Warhammer Community posted a trailer simply called ‘Sigmar Lied.’
Featuring a Sigmarite city in the grips of a night-time storm, it’s punctuated by lightning.Green lightning.
(Fans of the Skaven will immediately know what that means.)
However, this is all set-dressing.
The interesting bit lies in the background audio.
Alongside tolling bells, you could hear rats chittering if you listen closely.
We’ll apparently find out more at AdeptiCon this March 20.
So, to break all that down: rat noises are obviously self-explanatory.
Well, bells are a common motif for the Skaven as a whole.
Namely, their Screaming Bell war machine is a particularly iconic unit for the faction.
Next, eerie green lightning is a calling card for their madcap inventions.
This ties into the resource they’re closely associated with and always on the hunt for - Warpstone.
This green, crystalline substance usually falls to earth in meteor form, and corrupts the landscape with Chaos.
Actually, this is what created the Skaven in the first place way back when.
It feels like the groundwork is being laid for the Skaven’s return.
It’s not an open-and-shut case by any means, but it tracks with previous patterns.
So, the final question: why has ‘Sigmar Lied,’ and what about?
For instance,CoyoteRed5writes that “[Stormcast stronghold and celestial realm] Ayzr is not safe.
The people more or less accepted the purges as the cost for the safety they lived in.
Sigmar unfortunately knew the truth.
That Chaos is not so easily shut out.”
Do you think this heralds the return of the Skaven?
