Haven't think about this. What they do? Eat, drink, kill, kill, whip their slaves, eat, kill and sleep? Well maybe you other really know what they do, but tell me... | ||

I reckon, the bigshots snort warpstone snuff and plot world domination. The clanrats probably just fight each other and eat. The slaves have no free time. | ||

*reaches over to computer from bed full of breeders* what's that white paw? you mean you don't already? I guess they go watch pitfights [ogres on ogres, slaves on slaves, and the odd slaves on ogres mini-battles, just for giggles...], maybe bloodbowl? what always made me wonder was.... 'the workers' - we hear of them in the Skaven army book, but what would a 'worker' do? The slaves mine the warpstone, engineers process the warpstone [with slave labour] the clanrats do the fighting, rats probably don't have many 'service industries', so they must all be manufacturing things [do skaven make/buy consumer goods?], and I doubt any inportant rats would let other rats handle their important documents [so no administration]. all I can think that the workers could be doing is making weapons/armour... Personally I think that clanrats are conscripted workers, rather than a different caste altogether.... and also... Food - what do skaven eat? can they grow crops? do they survive on soley meat? Fluff-wise I have had my clan develop.... *smiles* wouldn't you like to know.... *subliminalmessagereadallstinky'sfluff* -Stink out-

For the time being, I'm a firm believer that the Skaven eat the guts of whatever dies. As it never says what they eat, and you can't grow anything in an underground environment, so meat eating and cannabalism is really all you're left with. | ||

Black Wheat. BotR. But I think they spend most of their time wondering wether or not Tir-sah was an assassin. |

They eat, sleep, kill each other, ingest warpstone, plot domination, and send assassins to dispatch their rivals. | ||

Don't forget fungus farming! I'm sure there are some goods that need to be manufactured (no matter how poorly). As stated before weapons and armor, but also clothing. So tanning hides would be an occupation as would making the hides into clothing (just can't bring myself to call them tailors though). Artisans would probably be found making various items like glass bottles, etc. There would have to be supervisors for the slaves and slaves can't be trusted doing ALL of the labor, only the meanest of tasks. I'm sure there are plenty of other occupations that clanrats fill. After all, Skaven society doesn't exactly share the wealth out equally, so I am sure there is some sort of merchant class. | ||

They could do a lot of things. Breed, sleep, eat, try not to be eaten.... But I reckon that the most popular form of pasttime would be to watch the Skavenblight Scramblers train for their next Blood Bowl Cup. Lets go Scramblers lets go! |

| You kids these days have it so easy, what with your Plague Furnaces and your Hellpit Abominations and your Bonebreaker Warlords. Back in MY day, all we had was Slaves and Clanrats!...and auto-hit Ratling Guns...and skirmishing Jezzails...and 2D6 Warp Lightning...and Lead From The Back...wait, what was my arguement again? | |||

From the 4/5th edition Skaven army book: "Slave-hulks cluster darkly about the quays and an endless, trudging line of bent-backed figures carry baskets of corn inside. From within a great grinding and squealing of turning mill-wheels echoes relentlessly. Greenish lights flicker and flash at the narrow windows as the great mills grind mutant corn between warpstone wheels to feed the starving hordes of Skavenblight." Mutant corn, heh sounds tasty |

Might be similar to our genetically modified (GM) corn. ![]() Skavenblight's pretty much surface level, so I guess they can grow crops. The underground communities do grow mushrooms. I guess it's possible to grow mutated crops that photosynthesize from warpstone light too. |
