Time for some more Q&A on Warhammer fantasy, this time featuring the nefarious Skaven! I'll add questions and Timestamps below shortly.

1. He M.: How it is even possible that the empire denies the existence of the skaven? The dwarfs are an important ally to the empire, do they know that the empire denies the existence of the skavens and have they ever tried to do something about it? 0:27

2. Jerec 12: for the skaven Q+A: how competent are their melee infantry on a unit basis? obviously they would lose very easily in a 1v1 but would they be able to trade against a same cost unit of humans or dwarves or is the infantry really just there to hold the enemy down for monsters and war machines? 5:15

3. Squats Forever: since the horned rat even before the end times was a chaos God why doesn't he have more demons? Also why is it monotheistic how come there aren't other rat gods? 10:51

4. A Humpier Rogue: If a female skaven is born Albino or with horns would they be chosen for something greater than Breeding or would they just be considered an even better breeding machine. 16:40

5. GrievousKhan: Have there ever been any female Skaven "hero's" for the under empire? 18:25

6. the great book of grudges: Do Thaggoraki tunnel riched enough to the island of ulthuan? 18:41

7. Gabriel Perrella: Do the Skaven have any sort of standard, as in an evil act that even they would consider abhorrent and disgusting? (For example, for the Beastmen, hurting or killing a Bray-Shaman is considered a heresy and a crime of the worst kind) 19:34

8. Richard Round: I have a question on the horned rat. For the other gods, they gain their power through the actions and worship of the mortal races, with the four major chaos gods gaining additional power through the laws of the universe like change and stagnation etc.
My question is then how did the horned rat come to be. In the skaven creation story a stranger built a tower and the bell etc that caused the creation of the rats turning into skaven. So he made his own worshippers, but then where did he come from. So is the horned rat a Mage that ascended to godhood when he was worshiped by his man rat creations, or, because of the crossover between nurgle and the horned rat, is the horned rat a daemon prince of nurgle that has become powerful enough to become his own god. 22:20

9. LittleNomojo: Does most Skaven, at birth start as clan or slave rats and kill their way to a higher position or is there a ranking system to determine who becomes a Stormvermin, Shaven Warlord or Ratling gunners and such? 30:41

10. Rellana1: Have the Skaven ever tried to mess with the Vortex,or invade Ulthuan,and if they did,would they stand any chance of success? 39:23
