As a fluff question would Molder have less slaves than most clans due to them being experimented on? Thoughts? |

I don't think Moulder has less slaves, as the new book states they are the richest clan in the skaven empire, that will probably mean they have lot's and lot's of slaves at their disposal |

i think that i may be correct on the subject of moulder having more slaves than other clans, as there armys focus around monsters, and they do not want to risk clanrats being eaten by the monsters so they use slaves instead Yours Warlord Arskittar

That looks just like conjecture to me, do you have any sources?

@ Arskittar: In other words, stop jumping to conclusions on no evidence what so ever other than big things eat more. @skweel: Moulder would have roughly the same amount of slaves as any other extremely rich clan (so in other words lots). Also, for the most part Moulder does more experimenting on creatures they capture from the chaos wastes (so mainly trolls, Minotaurs and other nasty stuff). |

not necessarily, a lot of experimentation happens on skavenslaves. for example, Bonebreaker rat ogres are mutated with a growth extract the requires the death of dozens of slaves. |

I guess Skyre also use a lot of slaves when handeling some of the most dangerous of warpstone technology. As far as I remember the Warplightning Cannon crew were slaves (with an estimatet lifetime of 1-2 days after operating the cannon), so I don't think Moulder stands out from the crowd when it comes to slaves, and the average lifetime of slaves would be aproximately the same for all clans. (could be some exceptions I'm not aware of) |

Moulder does have alot of Slaves at their disposal, as Arskittar says. But there is no reason at all to suggest that because of this they use less Clanrats. The monsters of the Moulders are herded into battle by the packmasters who keep them in check. Just because it is the slaves that are used for the Moulder's lesser (and often suicidal) duties, this does not mean that Clan Moulder does not use vast amounts of Clanrats for combat situations. - Sammy |

true, would still be a funny battle to have hundreds of slaves, all of them dieing or is that just cruel? Warlord Arskittar |

having slaves die needlessly is just a waste of good stock... unless of course its on pay per view then its entertainment |

I would go as far to say that Pestilence does not use slaves to a great degree in open combat. More keeping them behind the scenes testing diseases on them. or sending them ahead of the army to infect the enemy before hand but less on open field combat. I would say the moudler does use a ton of slaves, i mean you have to do something with failed experiments cant just waste them and throw them away. That is what i think would be most of Moudlers slaves on the field would be failed experiments. I think eshin and Skryre would be the only to to have Actual straight forward "Slaves" on the field. |

I like this, when i get round to making slaves i might do somthing like this to set them apart from clan rats. |
