The theory the the Skaven are inspired by AC/DC. They have a lightning motif (warp-lightning), and AC/DC have an electricity theme. The big bell rang 13 times, hells bells starts with a bell ringing 13 times.
Mayby I should model a Skaven army after AC/DC.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4qdgno-huo the perfect song for Dark Eldar
Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.” |

If you could model a grey seer like Angus Young and a warlord like Brian Johnson I would worship you like a God lol.

Actually, I think they're more just themed after Victorian fiction motifs and the fact that 13 is held as a curse/unlucky number in many Western cultures. A lot of Victorian Scifi/Steampunk uses electricity/lightning(as does Victorian horror such as Frankenstein) as a symbol for science and discovery as electricity was new then. This carries through with the Skaven thanks to their pseudo-sciences that are very Steampunk oriented.

13 has been a lucky number for me, more often than not.

I don't think the OP was being entirely serious in his suggestion of AC/ DC. I think he was just lampooning this thread -> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/270701.page

And Dark Eldar are based on Oasis, since nobody's bought any of their stuff for a good 12 years. What's your point?
