I would like to introduce Clan Shmick - my woolly skaven project! :D

----

Clan Shmick is a thrall clan and an unique woolly brand of skaven. They dwell in the deepest parts of the forest of Drakwald among Beastmen, Chaos afflicted, wild animals and other horrors. In ever-lasting darkness and extremely humid environment they build their tents made out of their own fur. They are known as masters of guerilla warfare, able to find their way throughout the most inhospitable of environments and strike in both skill and numbers without their target ever knowing they are there.

Their ingenious traps and stealthy approach soon got noticed by clan Eshin, who gave them (an involuntary) offer. They could keep their woolly business, however their most talented clanrats had to be given a premium training and in return vow an ever-lasting obedience as sleeping agents of their masters. This way Clan Eshin ensured their victory over Clan Skryre who wanted to enslave clan Shmick and use their wool for its own gain.

Clan Shmick's iconic weapon is a repeating crossbow. Once a very daring clanrat stole one from an unfortunate traveller and brought it back to the campsite. Given the ingenious yet chaotic nature of the skaven, they quickly learned how to reproduce it. Soon, the weapon became so common it became a part of every clanrat's equipment.

When not attacking lonely travellers and confiscating whatever they are carrying, Clan Shmick make their fortune by shearing their members and selling their wool. Being it raw product or clothing/armor, there is always a buyer for such a valuable material. The woolly armors are known for their incredible softness and warmth, making it perfect for northern warfare.

Sometimes, a group of clanrats led by one superior rat travel outside the forest to gain intel. During this time, many humans mistake their wagons (in which they travel) for a friendly caravana, falling into a trap.
