Awesome, I'll start doing some work on them. I'll split them into four different creatures, one for each of the major clans - Skyre Skaven will have access to more powerful weaponry (stuff built from warpstone - speaking of which, has anyone made any warpstone yet?), Pestilens Skaven will be covered in syndromes (I'm imagining various castes, each of which have syndrome attacks in varying levels of lethality), Moulder Skaven will have access to beasts (as castes for now, once .26 comes out they'll start using warpstones to turn citizens into monsters), and Eshin Skaven (I honestly don't know what to do with these guys, besides high natural skills in things like ambushing and observing; we can't do much with poisons right now... although I suppose 'traps' consisting of poison dumped on the ground might be workable...)
So yeah, I'll get a base creature and entity out first. Give me a few hours for that.
That sounds great! I could easily see plague monks just constantly secreting some kind of vile syndrome-carrying ichor. You could also make some kind of syndrome-bearing metal or rock to make plague censers out of. I don't think warpstone has been done yet. Maybe make it appear in reasonably small clusters in soil layers, to simulate the meteoric fragments falling down from Morislieb and embedding themselves in the ground? I guess with that explanation you could find them in deeper layers too, if the soil just built up over an old impact...
Also very excited for some good ol' O n' G. Black iron sounds cool. Mass deforestation is also extremely orky.
Either way, I'm pumped for Skaven and Orks and it sounds like you guys are gonna do an excellent job! Good luck!
Also! Just put up another big bugfix for Warriors of Chaos. Overhauled all my Great Altar reactions, edited some inorganic raws and syndromes, fixed a few embarrassing typos, and have rebound the hotkey for the Dark Shrine, so it can now be used. Also provided a nifty readme file so you can all figure out how to make the uber-deadly god-weaponry and understand how everything works.

Also, anybody else find it kickass how there is so much interest in this thread? It was bumped and there was like 8 posts inside three hours or so xD
