The Masterclan is formed by the Grey Seers that interpret the will of the Great Horned Rat and “guide” through manipulation and fear the Skaven masses. Other clans found great use of the Warpstone, a substance corrupted by Chaos forces with great mutating properties that allows Clans Skryre to build powerful, yet not quite reliable, war machines and Clans Moulder to merge different being together to create the ultimate monstrosities.Ĭlans Verminus, on the other hand, cares little about mutations, machines or subterfuges: their force is in numbers that they use without care of the disposable pawns involved in their tactics. So, while the Clans Pestilens hunt for the Thirteen Great Plagues that once released in the world would consume it, Clans Eshin lurk in the shadows and employ the best assassins that ever stalked the Mortal Realms. All ratmen are grouped in Great Clans, each representing a particular tactic used to achieve the grandeur that their god requires to ultimately conquer all Mortal Realms. While all Skaven worship the Great Horned Rat out of fear and ambition, the way the follow his plans greatly changes from clan to clan. He skulks in shadows rather than exposing himself as the other gods, and it is for this reason that some races are still unaware of the threat the Skaven pose. The Great Horned Rat is their god, a malevolent presence that recently joined the Chaos pantheon as a reward for the Skaven involvement in the destruction of the World-That-Was. The only thing preventing them from completely overrunning every other race is their constant infighting and backstabbing where every single vermin believes to be superior to all others and blames friends and foes alike for its own failures.

The latest battletome (June 2022) released with just a single re-sculpt (the Deathmaster) means that we will need to wait a little longer. A re-sculpt of the range is long overdue, but there are no current hints from Games Workshop as when and if it will happen. They are also one of the oldest range of models still in circulation, with some metal sculpts from the 90s. In game, they play like a horde army, even if limited by the unit size in some contexts, with each of the greater clans having its own different playstyle and options available. They live everywhere, mostly hidden from mortal eyes until is too late and are divided in 6 greater clans, each with their own sub-divisions. They are cunning and devious, they literally backstab themselves to obtain even the slightest advantage in Skaven society. They embody Chaos better than any other race with their desire to destroy all reality through any mean possible.
