Banner of Clan Septik
Clan Septik is a Skaven Thrall Clan of Clan Pestilens which swore its fealty during the First Skaven Civil War. They are the most fanatical believers among all the Thrall Clans in the Pestilent Brotherhood, rabid zealots whose fervour rivals (and possibly exceeds) that of their Clan Pestilens masters.[1a]
Clan Septik see themselves as the right-hand claw of Clan Pestilens, who have thus far encouraged this view -- after all, you can never have enough devout troops willing to fight (and die) for your cause. Despite the casual way in which this clan is thrown into battle, they have always emerged relatively intact, leading many to believe that the Horned Rat himself is looking favorably upon Clan Septik.[1a]
The warriors of Clan Septik utilise robes and banners in an off-white colour to better show their disgusting collection of filthy stains. These Skaven wield weapons and armour corroded with rust (the rustier the better), and their bodies are covered in dirty bandages draped over weeping sores. The diseased claw is a common icon amongst the Skaven of Clan Septik.[1a]
The elite warriors of Clan Septik are known as the Plaguevermin. They are blessed with the rustiest blades the clan has at its disposal -- weapons that despite their appearance never seem to break or lose their razor-edge.[1b]
Notable Members[]
- Blightskab - Blightskab was a Plague Priest and the leader of a Blightskab's Plaguepack, the most disgusting warriors in all of Clan Septik. He is that rare Skaven that prefers leading from the front. From there, he can more easily spread his clan's contagions. [2a]
