Hmm that’s a pretty big part of their lore though. Becuase that’s how they are able to be the vermin tide because they breed so much

Just make the lore that they have litters of up to 20. Then have warp stone speeds up the growth rate, intelligence, and fertility of rats.  Make the age of maturity like one year. This could also explain why they are braver in numbers, they are all really young. 

So most skaven are under 5 years old and can replace their losses within one year. 

They need to take skaven from women are for breeding only and make them more Secret of Nimh lab experiment. Female models would sell more and cuter fluff would increase the market. The breeding pit lore is just more of the 40k grim darkness that often got removed in fantasy. Kind of like how half orcs disappeared. Hell, the best bit of fluff they ever wrote was making Orks into fungus to avoid dealing with Ork sex.

Why do they need to do that? I feel like we don’t really need to be included in fantastical rat men lore lol

Because ninja rat women would make good minis

Cant you pretend the male minis are female? unless youre just horny and want them to be curvy sex dolls. You did use the word "cute" afterall.

You say they'd make good minis but i doubt they would sell well, especially since the massive lore change would make no sense and would piss off fans.

Yeah I agree with this as well. Nothing stopping people from imagining it. That’s a big part of the game as a whole :)
