As I've done 0 painting and panic is setting in I thought I'd write my totally original backstory.
Simon Roberts (Warloft) @jimbo9jimbo
Skaven.
Skaven have existed far longer than the realms we know today.
They go by many names.
Dave, Carl, Paul, Mike.
Oh, that one is Brian
He's an idiot.
They're all different,
but they all share the same goal.
To serve the most despicable
master they could find and rule over the 9 realms.
Making their master happy was the
clan's very reason for existence.
But that's not to say that they
didn't have other passions.
Finding a boss was easy.
But keeping a boss alive,
therein lies the problem.
Nope,
it wasn't easy for these guys.
But they never gave up.
With the emergence
of the Old World
came the rise of a new species.
Man was very different
from the Orcs or Ogres
He was shorter, hairier,
and way, way smarter.
The Skaven took
an instant liking to man,
and helped him
the best they could.
Oh, no, no.
Poor man.
So trusting, so fragile.
So, so delicious!
But alas... all was seemingly lost from
the time that was.
But all was not lost!
for one Skaven had a plan.
His name was Kevin.
He was excited to share
his idea with the clan.
He'd been preparing
for days, weeks, months.
But now he was ready.
Ratties!
We need some warpstone yes yes
Well to get some we need to go
big game hunting!
