The Lizardmen and/or the Orcs enslaved the Skaven. There would be nothing left except to breed what was left of them. Rat-monsters and Clan Rat Slaves for mindless, meaningless labour?

Lizardmen will never enslave the skaven. This for two reasons:

primo: they do not need lsave labour. They have the whole skinksociety as craftsmen and artisans, and kroxigor for heavy llabour

secundo: skaven are spawn of chaos, and therefor, in the lizardmen point of view, are deemed for extermination, and nothing else. sSuch is the wish of the old ones.

Orcs for that matter, thats a whole new ballgame... Are they smart enough to enslave the skaven, that is the true question here I guess.

I would agree with the above poster, but in my opinion the orks are to stupid to enslave the entire race, some but not all.

I think orcs would end up trying to kill them, but the sneaky rats... a breeding pair will always get away/be hiding somewhere...

Stinkin' rats! DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!

Sorry I may have overreacted.

agreed on the lizards.

i think orcs could, but they would just end up as squig food.

From what I remember reading in the Skaven fluff, Orcs and Skaven sorta enslave parts of each other from time to time though generally the Skaven are too paranoid to have any real organized effort to take over and the Greenskins are too demented and fractious to get around to it.

i agree with the posts about the lizardmen. they would rather just kill the buggers than enslave them. they don't need slaves and it would go against the will of the old ones to keep them alive! even so, why not kill them just out of pure vengeance for what the skaven have done to their jungle home in certain areas.

as for the orcs, why would they want to enslave them? that's boring, there are enough gobbos, snottlings and other weedy greenskins to do the work. and even so, why enslave them, skaven put up a good fight! keep 'em around for a good fight once in awhile, ya know!
