Will we at least get a female Skaven generic hero?
I know female Skaven are just baby factories but if a Skaven is born with horned rat gifts, either white fur or horns, it kinda gets immunity to standard cultural customs and gets important role within society.
I think there even was female Skaven like that in RPG story.
Make her Grey Seer's servant or something, caster hero or something.
I just don't want full "♥♥♥♥" roster.

This is not feminism nor SJW thing, i don't care about those so don't bring that up.

If you want to play as a 10 foot long bloated barely sentient blind monsterous baby maker drugged up, go ahead. http://i.imgur.com/v1KVDPU.jpg

A non baby factory female skaven would probably keep a VERY low profile so i cant imagine a playable female hero.

only instance they are not a baby factory as i said if they have white fur or horns, and those get to become Grey Seer's guardians and stuff.

They dont have a choice though, it's lore.

Female Skaven aren't curvy and humanized, they are basicly giant baby slaves in Skaven society, I posted a canon picture there. They also dont have a higher possition, they just lay in the breeding tunnels cranking out babies surounded by castraited male slaves that guard her, and only male skaven greyseers are known to exist.

I am aware of what you posted, but what i explained is also canon.

"However, there is a mention of a female Skaven in the same position as her male peers in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay supplement Warpspawn, where a white-furred female with skill in magic appears early on. Given how Skaven who are born with white fur or with horns are immediately placed into positions of power within the central "Clan" representing their god himself and are immune to backstabbing and murder by their peers (in the open, as its a taboo so assassination must be kept secret) then its likely that being born blessed by the Horned Rat is enough to prevent a female from being turned into a baby machine"

Ok, first time I'm hearing abourt Warpspawn, sounds like it isn't Warhammer fantasy battle though, what CA uses to make TW:W, so I don't think your canon, is the same canon. As far as 7th and 8th ed goes as I'm aware, there has never been a female Skaven outside of the role of the Rat Mother, the breeding class. This female Skaven you speek of doesn't appear In my books.

As far as TW:WII is concered we may only get a mention of the breeding females, if not at all.

"There are no Skaven females, Just Skaven broodmothers." —Skreelin Thurntik, Grey Seer, Warhammer Fantasy RPG 2nd ED

The WF RPG contradicts itself on the issue; given the lack of any mention of female Grey Seers in other sources, it seems reasonable to conclude that if a non-breeder female does exist in canon, it's either a one-off or such an unbelievably rare thing that including it in the game wouldn't really make any sense.

This is kinda meta, you are debating whether something exist and is cannon inside a system which is generally talked about to not exist. #Therearenoskaven #FemaleSkavenGreySeer
