Skaven are awful. Why do so many people like them? I don’t get it XD Which isn’t me making fun of anyone who does like them by the way! I personally just don’t see the appeal, doesn’t mean you don’t.

They are grimdark Pinky and the Brain or Wile E Coyote. Cartoonishly evil.

Half of the stuff they make (Including their society) have as much chance to be extremely effective in a terrible and evil way, as it have to blow up in their faces in the most ridiculous and funny way.

Warhammer is never to be taken seriously, and the Skaven are the perfect avatar of it.

Also, rats.

Nightmarishly cartoonish maybe. They disturb me XD Also, it’s funny that you also perfectly described Orks as well!
