I am thinking about painting the Skaven white instead of browns and blacks. I was trying to work up some albino fluff for them. Is a "white" skaven army possible? Is there any fluff written for albino Skaven anywhere? thanks |

albinos are very rare, very sacred, and are the religious elite. Being an albino marks a skaven as one who is made for a position of power. It's also religious oriented. They become grey seers, priests and the albino temple guard. You won't usually see a bunch of albino clanrats. |

but it is all up to you, it is just a game, but if you want to have a army just like the history, then you could not have an albino. If you read the last short story in old skaven rule book, you will see that ,EVEN the albino guards, is maby noy albinos!!! read it |

You could make it one of the personal armies of Tower, all the tower gaurds being Albino's, it could be one of the armies sent by the CO13 to make sure something happens or to prevent something from happening or merely just to curb some clans into line. |

The Shattered Tower! It's where the Council meets, where the Pillar of Commandment stands. It's what the order of the Seers call 'home'. It's where the Albino Guards serve.
@Srivener; true.. some are born, but I think most become albino's when they are made Council Guards; it;s a sign from the Horned One.. not always from birth. |

The only Skavens who could be albino or have white fur are the Grey Seers and the Albino Guard of the Horned Rat's Temple. They are like sacred, it's a mark that proof they are the choosen of the Rat God. Grey Seers are born albino, but for the Albino Guard, we don't know. The army book of the Five Version tell us a lot of things about it, in the novels where Thanquol describ the guards and their strange fur. A army like this isn't fluff. But you can always create a list to play the albino guard of the Shattered Tower. Kniff² Don't sure my english's correct... |

L'Heure où sonneraient les grandes cloches de la dégénérescence était plus proche que jamais pour les rejetons du Cornu. - | |

Just make up your oun fluff. Say that you were some lost clan or something and Albino's are common at your neck of the woods, or something like that. In the end it's all just a game, do what you want! |

Thanks for posting the fluff. If my test models turns out alright then the Albino guards of the tower will be on secret missions and doing the will of the council.

GW, sucking the fun out of the hobby since 1999. Never worry. Worst case scenario you die, and then there was no point worrying anyways. Skaven repaint overhaul Number 5! (2/5th complete) | |

I would not recommend albinos... but if you want to, just do an elite army from the Co13, as was already said. What I wonder is why you would want to paint them albino? I think it would look pretty un-skaveny as an army... |

Why? To be different. It really depends on how my test models turn out. My "Albino" will be a grayish white not a true white like GW's Skull white. |
