Lack of Skavenslave lord

[Mr. Wandering Bandit]

I think it'd be funny, maybe a little busted, but also really skaven if there was a lord that buffed skavenslaves a bit more, since there isn't one already in the game. Maybe it'd be that each unit of skavenslave gets an additional 25% or 50% model count, so you could truly flood the world with rats. That, or make them (even) cheaper, increase local capacity, decrease lord recruitment cost, idk man, I just like excessive rats.

[Zoie Shales]

Skabbicus maybe

[Hieronymous]

Heck yeah, good idea.

[Tokogawa [GER]]

The Warlord already has a Bonus you can choose to buff Skavenslaves but seeing how I never use Warlords for Skavenslaves (normal Clanrats thought) I fully support the Idea of a "Cannonfooder" Lord, similar to how the Master Necromancer for Vampire Counts is best suited to spam Skeletons and Zombies

[Draconic Creature]

If you're thinking to spam skavenslaves, try Throt since you can add mutations to skavenslaves, and even get a tech that gives every unit you receive, two random mutations.

[SBA77]

So you want a Skaven Helman Ghorst, eh?

Unfortunately the most probable Skaven LL they'll add is Thanqol, but maybe the Skaven LH they release in their DLC can do that and be kind of like Gorduz,

[GamerHubert]

Not often mentioned but maybe something like the Rat Mother?

Think this would be a funny idea to implement skaven broodmother.

Just looked up the lore, was not disappointed. Scanbicus as a hoard army could be pretty funny.

I don't think the brood mothers are conscious beings. They just kind of lay there constantly birthing. I'm not aware of a mutant brood mother gaining consciousness and being carted around like Greasus on some kind of rat sled constantly birthing rats behind it but it sounds like the kind of absurd thing Games Workshop would come up with.

NO SLAVES-SCUM, we need a powerful-strong VERMIN LORD, yes-yes !

Yeah, female Skaven are supposed just be non-sapient and bestial and their sole purpose in Skaven society is constantly birthing new Skaven. They can't even care for themselves and need to be constantly attended by slaves. I think they changed it newer lore that they aren't naturally like that however, now having their condition be a result of the Skaven purposefully mutating and drugging them up.

[Carog the Fat]

throt and warlords is your best bet as warlords once mounted count as moulder beasts and lots of mutated slaves for weird buffs. try to get a stack of exploding skaven slaves to send in first maybe.

Yeah, but massive amounts of unpaid labor sounds pretty funny to me.

[Mr. Wandering Bandit]

O yeah, I'm also gonna say:

TO EVERYONE SUGGESTING THROT,

Yeah that's fair, but I'm imagining huge swaths of rats that are incredibly cheap to get and upkeep, less so small swathes of slightly larger rats is all.

[Fauxsteel]

Tretch has some nice bonuses for skavenslaves. I know a lot of people don't like him, but he's my favourite Skaven LL.

Drop some of his buffed up elite troops in behind them with encouragement and you're golden like a shower.

[Breeding Medicine]

Slavery as a theme could have some great DLC additions in this game.
