Skaven Thoughts

Been thinking about a rad lil skaven army I'd love to do (y'know if I win the lottery which I won't)

I've always loved this lil art.

Real life rats are very clean, they self groom more than cats do even. Skaven are very paranoid. Lets combine these 2 things into a lil cleanliness obsessed clan.

Since Skaven have names like "Skreetch" "Queek" and "Sneek" because it sounds like squeaks. What if we call it "Clan Bleech" maybe? I'm not sure.

I love the lil gas masks and Skaven love a warcrime, let's have them fight with some nice clean smelling Chlorine Gas. Not everything has to be Warpstone, there's enough horrors in the mundane and there's enough factions cleansing everything with fire.

One time this clan got made to fight against Clan Pestilens for one reason or another and it changed them forever. They fucking hated it. They now specialize in fighting someone they never want to fight or be near again.

Now they're cleanliness obsessed. Changing to white robes to better see the stains of evil (to go with thier already medical scrub blue armor). Anyone caught sick is immediately "Cleaned", ramping up the paranoia as they all try to hide any sickness they might have to stay alive while falsely accusing rivals.

To avoid getting splashed with anything nasty they would have a lot of robes and prefer spears/long flails so they don't have to get near or splashed. They would probably have less spikes as cuts can get infected. Thier immune system is probably worse if they avoid stuff so much. I'd get to have a lot of man catchers in here too which i've always loved, dunking anyone gross into lovely cleansing baths.

Reskins

I imagine turning Warpfire Throwers into basically Bleach supersoakers to hose down thier pestilent opponents

Poisoned wind globes as Chlorine Gas

In ww1 people would use piss covered rags to try and protect against the gas, so the poor slave units will do that. They will all be outfitted as cleaners more than warriors, I imagine a lot sharpened brooms/mops with buckets used for protection over shields. Maybe Big fans to waft the gases away?

They would probably love the warplock jezzails as they're very long range, what could I do with those?

Doomwheels/Doomflayers would be fully enclosed to keep the nasty out.

Could have the little leader followed by people washing him constantly, cute lil sponges. Maybe have him sealed in a glass bubble casting spells out.
