This short story is available within Inferno! Volume 2 or as a standalone e-short.
CL Werner has history writing about skaven and it shows in his short story No Honour Among Vermin, a devious tale of brutality and back-stabbing. Fylch Tattertail might not be the biggest or strongest of skaven but what he lacks in physical prowess he makes up in sneakiness. As part of a ramshackle crew of untrustworthy skaven undertaking a daring mission to steal a worryingly dangerous artefact from under the noses of a Chaos cult, he needs all of his cunning in order to play his role in the heist, and live to reap the rewards…such as they are.
Like all great skaven stories this is sharp, violent, cleverly plotted and great fun (in a sort of dark and twisted way), packed with sneaky goings on, paranoid ratmen constantly looking over their shoulder, and a considerable dose of murderous intrigue. It’s tight in scale and enjoyably self-contained, and would feel perfectly at home in either the Mortal Realms or the World-That-Was – there’s nothing obvious to root it in either setting, so it’s up to the reader to decide where/when they want to consider it as being set. If you enjoy a good heist story, and like your Warhammer with a heavy dose of black humour, then this is just the ticket.
