I mean, the land that Marienburg sits upon used to be called Westerland, it just had its nickname of the Wasteland become basically the official one later on.

You mean uplifting the empire with Skaven tech? We can't do that its all too reliant on Warpstone.I think we should find a way to sanitise and release the information encoded in our skaven engineering books. I reckon it'd help the Empire a ton.
You mean making people more aware of how to counter Skaven tech? Would probably shatter the conspiracy of silence.

There's stuff in there not reliant on warpstone, but the Golds have it well in hand.

I mean, I can't think of any reason why the gas masks Skryre's poison globadiers wear would need Warpstone to work. So that's something, at least.

I'm not sure the Gold College would be able to make their own without rubber, though.
Well, that's an argument that's been had before.

However if we massed produced those it would warn the Skaven that we think we're likely to fight an enemy that uses gas warfare. And Skaven are the only candidates there.

I mean, Nurglites do something similar enough to gas warfare with swarms of flies and sheer overpowering stench.

Haha! Cleared 100 reacts on that last omake, thank you @Haruhi is Waifu ! Always brightens the day to get little milestones.
With regards to rubber- the skaven wouldn't have a native source for that, so they'd be importing from Ind and Cathay same as anyone else, right? Seems like just the story of thing that would be coincidentally noticed by someone who had seen the skaven gear and was cruising the Karag Mhonar markets.

Stormfiends are an End Times thing, so they're probably not around yet.I think we should find a way to sanitise and release the information encoded in our skaven engineering books. I reckon it'd help the Empire a ton.
They might be able to figure something out - likely via copious warpstone usage - in order to get the plants to grow underground.

I am extremely confident that the full attentions of the Gold College as directed by their Patriarch are capable of going through the technological windfall, complete with detailed notes, that we passed onto them.
I do not recall specific examples, but Mathilde was looking through the books and noted that some did rely on warpstone and some didn't.

Did the handover to the Golds not include copies of those engineers' books?
I don't think there's much we can add to the resources of an entire College, and we seem to have just started a separate flight of reverse-engineering hubris.

We could probably use favours to try and purchase copies from the Gold college. However the existence of these books is probably a secret so I doubt there are any copies floating around atm.

They took all the original writings and scribed copies for us.
Honestly if we want to out do the Gold College we should sending copies to Dwarf Engineering Guild. This is literally in their skill set.
I really don't. I want to leave it alone and focus on the mountain of work we already have. Let the people who have a far more appropriate skillset handle it on their own.
Also, the dwarves have their own Skaven engineering books.
And thanks to us, they can finally read them.

I mean, it is engineering. It's just that in the Skaven mindset, teething troubles that can get the user killed are a bonus feature, provided they can pawn off the job of actually using them to underlings.

Skaven do have some innovative ideas that could potentially be made into something reliable with a decade or so of work. The problem is that very few dwarves would be interested in doing so - because even if you succeed, who would be willing to use it?
It's one thing to be a radical engineer coming up with your own ideas that may one day, a century from now, be accepted as useful advancements, it's quite another to base your ideas on an enemy of the dwarves, and be neither the inventor of the device nor able to persuade folks to adopt it.
Remember, dwarven pride insists that dwarves invented bows and ballistae, they cannot have been a shared development with the then-allied elves - and the Elgi aren't even enemies any more.

To be fair, most human engineering in Warhammer is also pretty likely to fail and kill you.
