Skavens!

Just make her a grey seer.
Born with the silver fur and horns mutation, boom, 95% immune to clanrat society. Whether she is enslaved and/or killed by OTHER Grey seers is another matter entirely

>rat folk done right
>not cute (cute!)
No, that's clearly Rat Folk Done Wrong.

>mfw no rat ninja waifu.

That's not a Skaven

Skaven actually sleep in big cuddled piles, and despite them all hating each other they find something soothing with sleeping together. A Skaven sleeping on his own is an oddity, even if he gets up in the morning and kills all his bed-mates in some scheme.

Yes-yes! Come cuddle-hug, man-thing. Rotbite will not bite you!

Source?

Rotbite will very well bite. But won't break skin, on purpose.

I assume its a reference to how rats live when they're together.

But Skaven aren't rats.

Okay, Rotbite lie-lie. Will surely try and eat you. But maybe you like that?

Doesn't Bloodbowl indicate that this is an unnatural state, possibly created through alchemy.

Breeders are created, female skaven aren't born that way.

They have long blonde hair and brown fur, I think those are just male skaven with wigs on.

>tfw there will never be a fantasy rat race that are actually how rats are: clean, empathetic, and intelligent

Read/Watch Twelve Kingdoms, one of the main characters is a rat person.

Watch nimh for that.

Yeah, I see that. Your lord gave you good advice.

You obviously haven't heard of Pathfinder's Ratfolk. They are a pretty good take on fantasy rat people.

...

I'm picturing an imperial greatsword dominating some poor skaven twink.
This is the wierdest boner.

It's Skaven, plural you illiterate trash.

If only this wasn't a blue board oh the things I could show you user

storytime, user, storytime.

Why not just make one yourself?

Not much of a story, there isn't much Skaven porn and I happen to have a small collection of it

link pls?

>Skaven
>poor
Where the fuck-fuck do you think we are?

Bruning wheel's field setting rodents are pretty comfy desu

Skaven brutally repress their fellow rats below them in social hierarchy. Some twink would be poor and be used and abused.

>90% of skaven are male
>the vast majority will never touch a female in their pathetic lives even though breeding rights are dangled in front of them like a carrot on a stick
>their whole social structure is based on bullying those weaker than themselves and being submissive to their betters
>the logical conclusion is that most skaven are actually prison gay and skaven sexuality is figuratively and literally a long chain of rats raping the smaller rats below them whenever they feel like it

Joke aside, I actually felt kinda bad when playing Vermintide when I realised that occasionally a lone survivor of an attack wave would cower in fear and hug the wall hoping to go unnoticed. I like to think that I let the survivors flee after the fight has been beaten out of them.

Children of the Horned Rat. It says that skaven sleep in big collective piles with the strong ones on top and the runts serving as living mattresses and pillows. Only the important ones have private lodgings.

I would not be aposed to this being cannon

Give me a few hours, I'll get links to what I can

But skaven are intellegent...sort of

They also do that if you find them alone outside of a wave.

And once you turn away or if you don't see them and walk past, they try to stab you in the back.

Yeah. Of course it's a vidya and you are essentially killing zombies but it's still a bit sad when you think too hard about it. They are basically weak and easily frightened creatures who are self-aware and piss themselves when facing death but you have little choice because they are hardwired to try to kill you and behave in a self-destructive way. Killing them is more of a form of unavoidable pest control than a heroic deed.

on the other hand I'm a bleeding heart faggot so feel free to disregard the above

those eager to deal death when they have the upper hand should eagerly await it when the tide is turned

I always figured it was because Skaven are exactly the kind of petty evil that would curl into a ball and cower when you single-handedly beat their whole group, only to slink up behind you and shank you after you spared them.

I don't have many ratfolks, sorry.

The Horned Rat is the most evil entity in all of Warhammer. He really has fucked up skaven society beyond hope.

He did create them, so...

This man gets it

Grey-seers get to dodge 99.9999% of the bullcrap in the skaven society.

Just watch out for other grey-seers

So did the Ancestor Gods with the dwarfs, and yet there are shorties that venerate Hashut or the Chaos gods.
The Horned Rat completely smothers the skaven. He's got more family issues than the Emperor of Mankind.

I mean yeah, horned rat is quite frankly all the worst traits of chaos with none of the ups.

>Scheming, lying backstabber with no desire to see others rise to greatness or change.

>Filthy bloated plauge covered body that brings death wherever he touches. Good luck seeing the horned rat ever bringing a bloom of life to the land.

>Hates everyone and wants them all to die. No sense of Honor.

>Wants more and more and more and....yeah slaanesh has no up sides.

Lessons like "life by the sword die by the sword" are completely lost on them because the standard evil fantasy race is assumed to be literally unable to act in a different way due to being born from chaos or having fallen under the influence of an evil god. They can think and learn from experience but this is overriden by an evil switch in their brain that can't be turned off. I guess that's the point about killing them being less about justice and more about pest removal.

It's not much of a moral quandary when the evil race is a bunch of demons from hell, undead or monsters who spawn fully grown and armed from pools of slime but I find it more uncanny when they have a society, culture and other similarities to humans and yet the only option is essentially total genocide.

To be fair, Slaanesh is also a god of passion and creativity and enjoyment...he/she/it just takes it to an extreme
Don't Chaos Dorfs think that Hashut is also an ancestor god of sorts?

That's a Nezumi, not a Skaven.

still there?

Fun fact: virgin rats don't display secondary sexual characteristics.

So thats where she got the name from.
All i can think of is gaping holes and kids.

Do you want mange? That's how you get mange.

It's the Japanese word for rat.

Ctrl-s user.

Thanks for your contributions.

anytime user

pretty furry thread desu

are you complaning?

just an observation

It's fine if that's your headcannon but there's no source for that. Besides, it makes more sense for a species with a gender ratio of 10 males to 1 female to have the latter look like ant queens.

It's a reasonable reading of the source material. It doesn't say they're born as breeders either, it kinda implies that the whole bloated breeder thing is done to them via warp fuckery.

I can buy that but how do you explain the fact that females are so rare? If your females are a small minority and the species has a huge mortality rate then it's necessary for each female to have hundreds of babies in her lifetime.

Even in the illustration there are heavy signs of manipulation. Note the nuts and bolts on the bloated body.

Probably an unnaturally low birth rate for females. Also the warp fuckery probably increases their mortality rate as well, making breeders more necessary than they might otherwise be.

What was the pic?

That's ok for a homebrew explanation . It also makes sense for a warrior society to artificially create a vast majority of expendable males who play no role in reproduction.

> Mate
That is some low quality stuff you're peddling right there.

Serious question here, not baiting, but what exactly is the appeal of Skaven? They seem to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever and no real variety between their named characters.

I mean, even Chaos's most fucked-up characters have some good aspects to them even if they're the fall-from-grace aspect, but skaven are just simple monsters. Like, there's always some quality I like about every faction, even from ones I'm really not a fan of, but Skaven? I can't think of anything I like about them. I don't necessarily hate them, I just don't see any appeal.

Why do you guys enjoy them? Give me a reason to like them.

Rats are cute

>furfaggots trying to project their fetishes into warhammer
Fucking lol

Good question. It really depends on what you want to see in them.

Sometimes it's nice to have a faction of cool villains who don't have an edgy sob story about how they're bad because they were betrayed by their kin or misled by a false prophet. The skaven are just what they are and they enjoy plotting and making life miserable for themselves and everyone else. Granted, the green skins also do that but the skaven have a lot of variety and nice gimmicks. You have dirty plague rats who shit in your water supply, crazy lab rats with hamster wheels of doom, ninja rats with shurikens and martial arts, Frankenstein rats and scheming horned magician rats. You are also pretty free to emphasize their wacky brain-damaged aspect or make them an overwhelming threat on the verge of conquering the world.

On the other hand if you squint your eyes hard enough you can see them as likeable little underdogs. Individually, the skaven are stick-armed freaks with the lifespan of dogs who live on the same planet as immortal elf swordsmen and dragon-riding wizards. Yet they still manage to survive and spread their species by playing on their strengths and fighting dirty. You're right that their characters don't get much development beyond their role as antagonists but there are a few who are shown to be a bit more complex than average and even conscious of the flaws of their race.

Oh no doubt, rats are my favorite animal. But all the qualities I like in rats are nowhere to be found in skaven.

I don't know. I want to like skaven, I really do, but I just can't seem to emphasize with them. Like, orcs are relentless killing machines but they're also pretty comical. Their motivations are easy to understand and there's definitely a charm in a group whose only goal is to scrap and have a good time. I feel like skaven would be more appealing if they had any positive aspects whatsoever, even if that positive is kinda fucked up. Like, the chaos gods are evil as shit but they're fun because they lead to interesting discussions about their nature. Like, you take positive qualities like progress, perfection, martial prowess, and community but push them way too far and turn them negative.

I don't know, I feel like skaven are close to being really cool but are missing some likeable element to them, some endearing charm that orcs and even ogres have.

That's understandable. Most people will want their villains to have some human aspect or redeeming quality so that you can self-identify with them to an extend. The schtick with skaven is that they are disgusting craven little pests and that 99% of them are disposable mooks. They don't even get to die gloriously at the hands of the heroes. They basically shit their pants, try to flee, get cut down in droves and their bodies are either eaten by other skaven or dumped without ceremony on the nearest trash heap by the good guys. Their comic and incompetent aspect has also been played up to the point that they sometimes come across as drooling retards rather than a genuine threat. That's probably one of the reasons people didn't like the fact that in the end times they suddenly overwhelmed half of the world.

Their named heroes are flavourful but mostly cartoonish villains. Thanquol is a hysterical moron who gets btfo constantly, stomps his feet in rage and swears that next time he'll win. Ikkit is a mad genius but he keeps killing his rivals and underlings for fun. Queek is probably the closest you can get to a likeable skaven. He's not a deep character by any stretch of the imagination but he's strong and brave and his clan is less backstabby than the others. He also has a loyal bodyguard who's not obsessed with betraying him.

>He also has a loyal bodyguard who's not obsessed with betraying him
I think you mean boyfriend user

incompetent saturday cartoon villains.
like the night goblins, but nastier.

Continued.

I guess if you wanted to find a redeeming feature you could go with the fact that they are expanding and making progress as a race even though they remain evil little shits. Most of the good factions apart from the empire are basically "everything was better before but we have fallen and we are waging a hopeless but noble battle against our fate". Sure, the end game for the skaven is to eat everything and cover the surface world with swarming hordes of rats but at least they are looking forward to something.

Probably that one pic of Ink-Eyes where you can see her cooter.

Hrm, I guess if I think of them as innefective saturday morning cartoon villains they get a certain charm to them yeah. Just a bunch of mustache-twirling idiots who keep getting foiled by the heroes. I've always rooted for snidley whiplash and team rocket anyways, (mainly because the protagonists were always braindead idiots) so yeah, I can see the appeal there.

Huh, alright. Thanks guys, I found a reason to like skaven now.

LIES-LIES I ONLY FUCK-BREED ELVES
