Do the Skaven have any chance against the Orcs?

[sleeper]

Lorewise and in this game I mean. No that I think about it Orcs do not lack numbers and they have faster reproduction and one orc is stronger then one rat man so what would happen with an all out war between the 2 race who will win?
Also gampley with the waaag the orcs can really get numbers and the more they fight the more waags they get and the more they fight the more waags they get and so forth and so forth. Basically such an war will make the orcs stronger and stronger can gameplaywise the skaven do anything against them?

Well, rats are experts in stealth, traps, ambushes, poison and other dirty tricks that the Orcs would be target practice with, so don't discount them.

Orcs do not care about that they just get more Orcs who get more Orcs who get more Orcs who get more Orcs who get more Orcs. Wanna see endless waves well Orcs are the ones for that.
The more they war the stronger they get.

Lorewise skaven have tech. No, TECH. Vehicles of doom, terror and destruction. And, well, orcs are many, but skaven are endless. Lorewise ofc.

Ingame skaven have good arty and skirmishers, wich is great against greenskin melee and monsters.

Greenskins arent really going to have an answer to doomwheels in this game..

So are the Orcs they reproduce like grass meaning very fast and an lot. Hell you can not get more endless then Orcs. The ratpeople have to reproduce trough conventional means they can not sustain an war of atrrition like the Orcs who do not even need to eat just war.

Skaven are the most numerous race in Warhammer lore by quite the large margin. Greenskins are second in that regard.

Yeah until I found out that Skaven have to eat and Orcs do not and they breed torugh spores you can not win an war of attrition against such creatures. They just keep coming and coming and coming getting stronger and stronger after each battle while your troops have to eat to grow to train and so forth. Its impossible to beat them.

Because I like to see what you all have to say about this. An opinion is owrth nothing if its not debated one.

They aren't in WH 40K so am guessing something happens to the Skaven.

[Gseckz]

Lorewise Queek destroyed both goblins/orcs and dwarves defending Karraks of Eight Peaks. Killed Gobla and routed Skarsnik and killed Belegar. Also sunked the whole continent of Lustria (all lizardmen into the bottom of the Ocean).

Thats why Queek has that buff on his faction. But if Grimgor had the patience to actually fight skaven he can kill them all on his own just walking straight into thier tunnels and killing all 13 councils and thier armys.

Orcs need to eat. But I suppose this is a thread like "Prove Orcs arn't best. Protip: you can't"

[sleeper]

Addin to this I read about the war the Skaven had against Naggash and they could not beat the undead master of undead since they even with their overwhelming numbers could not keep up with the undead that keep coming and coming and coming.

Orcs have to eat dude. They're no different in that regard.

If you think Greenskins are endless, more so than Skaven, you are mistaken.

It is not impossible, remember, Orcs are VERY flimisly united. All it would take is one Skaven sneaking in with poison to send the entire Orc host fighting amongst each other.
