So the imperium of man in the 40k verse is basically fantasy skaven:
>all worship one god that led them from their humble origins to their universe spanning current state
>is made up of lots of smaller competing groups who feud amongst themselves over who gets to rule the whole thing
>most of the population lives in hives
>strongest warriors come from horrible, nigh unlivable areas
>Mechanicus = clan skylar
>Astartes = Rat Ogres
>Psykers = Grey Seers
>officio assassinarium & inquisition = Clan eshin
>imperial guard = clan vermis and other lesser clans
>Chaos Marines = clan pestilens and moulder
>Sisters of Battle = Storm Vermin, note distinct hair coloration
It's basically a 1:1 conversion, the imperium of man is basically an imperium of rats.
Too bad skaven got squatted
>>54034614
Everyone's getting squatted once they use up their stock.
>>54034676
Aren't the squats coming back? Shouldn't we really be calling it "sobbing" at this point?
>>54034732
No, squats aren't coming back.
Unless you count the Kharadhron overlords as squats since they're dwarves in power armor.
>>54034574
Spot on, even got the same ww1 motive and partially nazi motive.
The only reason not all skavenfags flock to them is because they're not furry enough.
>>54034574
No, the Imperium is the Empire, and Bretonnia are Space Marines. Skaven are Tyranids.
>>54035642
Bretonnia and the Empire are more like the Tau though. Bretonnia is basically the farsight enclave.
