The Wood Elves thought they were safe in their Wood, knew that those pesky rats feared to enter the wild Woods and its creatures. But they thought wrong... an new threat has infiltrated their homes, corrupting them from within, turning their trees against them, poisening the waters and burn down their sacret places ...and dissapear back into the green or under the ground, planing their next plot against those high nosey Elves. Skaven, an new kind of them have studied Wood Elves over the years and started to mimic them, learning their ways to fight them with their own weapons, but still dirty and cunning with no morale like a true Skaven.
These Woodland Rats even started to dress like them, mimic even some of their elegance and swiftness. They conceal themself like Elves, hiding their rodent appearance with capes, cloaks and elegant wooden carved masks and cloth to fool Wanderers and even some uncareful Elves as well and lure them into traps and ambushes. But it also opens up a chance of interacting with others, gathering informations or for other intentions.
The main weapon of their choice is the Bow, mostly looted from elven corpse and later modified. Although these do not come in the big variety as the skaven blackpowder weapons, but are not less effective. They are fast in fireing in trained hands and likely to penetrate thick armor plates. Arrows often are looted from Elves but they also come with handmade poisoned tips. But Skaven are not Skaven without the use of Warpstone and so they also craft Arrows with Warpstone-Tips, able to tripple the penetration power and cause random mutations on the unlucky wounded surviver of it. It also can be used to turn the forest guardians like the sentient Trees into raging Monsters that turns agains everyone around it or just simply taint the targeted area around it with chaos.
These Skaven may not surpass true Wood Elven Masters, but by studying their ways for years, they became as effective as the elves and make up the lack of grace with their cunning and every dirty trick to win a fight.
They can hide in the woods nearly perfect, almost in plain sight in the variety of trees, leafs, grass and bushes and wait for the perfect moment to strike from the blind spot and disappear back into the green.
They live in smal groups hidden often inside hollow trees and underground burrows throughout the elven terretory and bring missery to the high-nose-things in different places.


YES! These Skaven are a fun little addition to the whole Warhammer Fantasy chaos i had in mind to tease and anger all thes tree loving long-ears and sice Skaven are so good in stealing technology of other races, why not try to create a special group that focuses on infiltrating those fearsome Elven Woods and fight them within their own game? cuz fuck dem...!
Also these Skaven are not connected to Clan Sniek directly but can be founded of those who had left the Clan a long time ago. I leave that as an open mystery. As same as Wood Elves, they rarely leave the Woods they call home as well and People likely would not see them wandering outside these Forests, but in rare times, Farmers and Travlers tell to have seen a mysterious masked Person wearing in leafy clothes in the distant, wander through the plains and farmlands. But those never were seen close to Cities and Towns or ever inside them.

So here you have it. A wood elfish Skaven. Enjoy!
A HUGE thanks to the dear Skaven mother  Kiguri for her amazing work again. I've left her almost 90% of all to her artistic freedom and she nailed it on the spot again <3
