Editing Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (section)

====[[Skaven]]====
They still exist. They are still aligned with Chaos and are still backstabbing little shits.

The Great Horned Rat ascended as the God of Blight (no doubt annoying Nurgle since that's supposed to be his job) and the fourth major Chaos God after Slaanesh's disappearance, but only the Skaven worship him (although any rogue insane [[Necromunda|humans]] who consider it would probably be turned into Skaven, making it a self-fulfilling rule) and the other gods (along with Archaon) look down on him, seeing him as a scheming usurper rather than a true equal. He's hoping to get more power, and the Skaven do remain numerous as all fuck.

The day Horned Rat was accepted into the Four, Chaos drew Skavenblight into itself as a fifth realm in the Daemon-controlled Warp, which was renamed Blight City. In true Skaven fashion however, they dug their burrows too deep and accidently sunk Blight City halfway back into the material plane. This turned out to be a blessing as now Skaven can travel anywhere from Warp to material plane at will and bring anything Chaos friendly with them at the moment with.

Skaven thus far have only been seen supporting Nurgle militarily. But "the Great Horned Rat" will rise; given that the Great Horned Rat's M.O. is scheming and treachery and that, with Slaanesh MIA, Nurgle's the weakest of the original Chaos gods, Nurgle getting backstabbed may happen in the future.

It's also possible that, given the treacherous nature of Skaven, they may fight other chaos factions. Could this mean the Great Horned Rat is GW's attempt at a second [[Malal]]?

The old Warhammer Fantasy Skaven Clans are now types of Clans; what was once Eshin is now tens of thousands or more of Clans just like Eshin. Because there are as many Elves as the plot demands.

Skaven as a faction are only generic characters, Skaven Slaves, Thrott The Unclean, Packmaster Skweel Gnawtooth, Tretch Craventail, Lord Skrolk, Queek Headtaker, Deathmaster Snikch, and Warlord Spinetail.

=====Skaven Pestilens=====
The plague rats in [[Clan Pestilens]]. They are shown to be working a lot with Nurgle's rotbringers into taking the realm of life.

=====Skaven Eshin=====
Sneaky motherfucker Skaven still. Formerly [[Clan Eshin]]. Turns out during the Age of Chaos Eshin managed to somehow tunnel into Sigmars outhouse in Azyr without anyone noticing...But the horned one himself decided to keep these little passages a secret from the other chaos gods. It's how he saw Sigmars counter assault coming a mile away and only committed he's most disliked servants to the battle, leaving the Skaven as the least damaged chaos faction. Hopefully Eshin got a pat on the head for that.

=====Skaven Moulder=====
[[Clan Moulder]] are still monster makers. Also have the ordinary Rat Swarms.

=====Skaven Skryre=====
[[Clan Skryre]]. Still rocking the magitek hard.

=====Skaven Verminus=====
Embodying the overwhelming numbers mentality of the Old World Skaven, this new Great Clan is comprised of the old Clanrats, Stormvermin, and Warlord models and generally represent the majority of clans without anything significant to set them apart.

=====Skaven Masterclan=====
The [[Grey Seers]]. Basically the Skaven Priesthood. NOT ACTUALLY THE MASTERS OF THE OTHER CLANS, however much they would like to be. Not a good idea to piss off a Grey Seer regardless.
