I'd love to stat up the old Skaven Bell & the Wheel that shot lightning - not to mention Deathmaster Sniktch, of course. He'd have an attack that was a minor action to use his tail blade.

I made one undead skaven too. It was done from the basic clanrat box. It's technically just the basic torso clued to skeleton arms & legs. It carries a spear in one hand and his own skeletal head in the other. I like to keep it at the backrow of my clanrat formation

It was. Interesting was - in the beginning, we had to basically sneak into the aforementioned armory, and it was mostly made descriptive with pretty little die rolling. (In one scene, I "ghost sounded" the Guards so they would direct the attention to a different part and we got get past them)
I wonder if the DM secretely made this part a challenge, but I don't think he did.
It worked pretty well.
Later, he ran an "open" skill challenge - a chase through the sewers after two surviving Skaven. That was pretty fun. And it worked pretty well, too - somehow, quickly determining the action you want to take and roll the dice can facilitate a chase scene very well.
(Fun moment was when my Wizards Dungeoneering check failed and he landed in the dirt. "There should have been a footbridge just below the water here!" *Prestidigitation*)

It's official.. The biggest group of whiners on this planet are [Censoered]! Why? Because they had a big hissy fit over one song in Little Big Planet quoting two verses from the [Censored] which offends them since "putting music to their religous book is a sin (just like everything else)" and as a result the game is pushed back a week so they can redo the sound track. The world seriously has to stop cowering anytime the [censored] gets offended about something and they really have to say, "If you are offended DON'T BUY IT, PLAY IT, LISTEN TO IT, OR WATCH IT"

Undead Skaven FTW!
Do your opposition ever suddenly notice it halfway through a battle and start wondering what the heck is going on with an undead Skaven loitering about?

I agree with you.
But you should take this discussion to Circus Maximus, to be honest...

Never played myself. I just collect & paint (or lately, collect and let the GF paint
). But that army has been used in game, and yes the opponent was "WTF?" when he noticed it

End of the day for me, and my headache and I shall head off to my Monday night game. Wish me luck getting through it!
Have a good evening, all, and I'll see you (as ever) tomorrow.

My group played it a lot before my time. Unfortunately this means that they know every adventure from playing it at least twice by now. The Torg campaign ended partially because of a TPK, but partially also because one of the long-term members just didn't enjoy having to hold back. (And I understand that). If adventure creation in Torg was just easier...
In the little time I played Torg, I really learned to appreciate the game design.
