The Skaven faction in Warhammer Age of Sigmar is a sprawling, malevolent race of ratmen that thrive in the shadows and depths of the Mortal Realms. Driven by insatiable greed, malice, and an innate desire for destruction, the Skaven are divided into various clans, each specializing in different forms of warfare and subterfuge. These clans include the warlike Clans Verminus, the diabolical sorcerers of Clans Pestilens, the cunning engineers of Clan Skryre, the mutated monstrosities of Clan Moulder, and the sinister assassins of Clan Eshin. United under the chaotic will of the Great Horned Rat, the Skaven employ a combination of sheer numbers, deadly technology, dark magic, and underhanded tactics to overwhelm their enemies. Their war machines, such as the Warp Lightning Cannons and Doomwheels, are as likely to wreak havoc on their own ranks as on their foes, adding to the chaos of battle. The Skaven’s unpredictable nature, driven by infighting and treachery, makes them a dangerous and volatile force. With their teeming hordes and insidious schemes, the Skaven seek to spread their corruption and dominate the Mortal Realms, embodying the destructive and anarchic essence of their malevolent deity.
