Skaven
– an underground empire of chaos, intrigue, and endless rat hordes
The Skaven are humanoid rats that inhabit a vast underground empire known as the Under-Empire. They are obsessed with the Great Horned Rat, a god of chaos, intrigue, and mutation. Their society is built on betrayal, fear, and a desire for power—every Skaven would rather kill their superior than serve them.
Their armies are huge but unstable—composed of Clanrats, Stormvermin, Warpfire Throwers, Rat Ogors, Grey Seers, and the daemonic Vermin Lords. Skaven rely on technology powered by warpstone, which is as dangerous to the enemy as it is to themselves.
Skaven are masters of sabotage, infiltration, and mass destruction. Their strategy involves tunnels, plague, explosions, and endless waves of cheap units. They are chaotic, unpredictable, and lethal—yet their greatest strength lies in their numbers. As they say: "For every dead Skaven, three more will come."
