Clan Mordkin
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Clan Mordkin is a skaven Warlord Clan. [1a]
Thc Skaven of the Clan are now obsessed with death and instantly recognisable for their fearsome, bone bedecked appearance with many of the clan's warriors armed with daggers carved from bones. Chieftains and Stormvermin often wear the skulls of Giant Rats or Rat Ogres as helms. [1a]
History
Mordkin was one of the many Warlord Clans to face the Undead legions of Nagash. [1a]
Following this conflict and inspired by the fearsome sight of the dead they looked to intimidate their rivals, so the Clan took to adorning themselves with the bones of their foes. They dyed patches of their fur and that of their Giant Rats and Rat Ogres or painted their clothing and armour white to resemble skeletons. [1a]
