What is the lore aspect besides that they guard council of 13? What colour armour do they wear? Are all albinos born council guard? I would just like to have a discussion about them if you have read books with them in it describe them? What type of training do you think they under go? If you don't know anything guess the topics. I am looking for you guys and me to come up with what we think about them.

If you don't know anybody who is secretly Alpharius or Omegon, you probably are him.

they are basically the same as stormvermin but are considered stronger then most other skaven because of their rarity which is why the council use them as guards they are also unusual because they are highly loyal which is unheard of in the skaven community

If i remember they were in the book 'grey seer' though i barely read it. Their loyalty to the council is supposed to be unquestioning and they are supposed to be fairly brave as well (or at least for skaven). I'm pretty sure they're also mutes but i'm not sure if they're castrated (i think GW stays off that topic since they got family friendly).

Also i'm not sure how canon the books are since some people complain over other books in 40k. I feel like skaven were at least shown more in that book. Gives us an idea of more of what they're about on a personal level.

I've always loved Skaven, but this is all I could glean from a little Google-fu....

The Council chambers are guarded by mute Albino Stormvermin known as the Council Guard. The Council guard are taller than average Stormvermin and wear blood-red armour of the highest quality (as far as Skaven standards go). The guard are as loyal as it is possible for any Skaven to be and are thus immune to bribes to betray their masters on the Council of Thirteen. It is unknown how the council of thirteen installs such loyalty into their stormvermin.

Also bear in mind that this very thread is third on the list of Google if you search 'Albino Skaven Guard'....
