Background
Mordkin teams origins stem from the famous team - Mordkin Bonelords. A team known for their obsession with the Undead. The nomadic team wandered the lands of Sylvania playing against any undead teams they could find and they were never short of offers. The Bonelords team was largely made up of diminutive Skaven Slaves and the Undead hordes were all too happy to beat the warpstone out of them. But in Bloodbowl things rarely work out as expected and between the hardy Bonehides (Mordkin's unique elite Stormvermin) and Frenzied skavenbrew infused Rat Ogres (known as Warp Runners), team Mordkin were a far nastier and more unpredictable team than expected.

As time passed the Bonelord's Bloodbowl equipment became adorned with the bones of their defeated foes and fallen teammates and the players developed an unhealthy appetite for necrotic flesh.

While the Bonelords never achieved any noteworthy success, they nevertheless gained legions of devoted fans that loved the teams obsession with death. Their fans would paint themselves black and white and adorn themselves with bones just as the team did. Wherever they played the stadia would become a monochromatic skeletal spectacle and a fearsome sight to behold.

Now Mordkin teams can be found throughout The World, all in honour of the Bonelords. Each team fronted by 4 Bonehides who without exception all claim to be direct decendants of The Bonelords Blitzers. Whether this is true or not no one can say. Regardless they carry on the traditions of their Clan progenitors.

Rationale
Clan Mordkin is a warlord clan, however unlike the other warlord clans they have a unique background - they're obsessed with the undead. Adorning themselves in the bones of their fallen clan members, and foes. Often wearing the skulls of rat Ogres as helms. This translates as thick skull, which is found throughout the team.

The names of the positionals comes from Mordkins background. Their Slaves known by the teams chieftans as Bonefodder make up the linemen in the team. They're hired from Clan Moulder endless stockpile of skaven Slaves, but they're equipped with Ckan Mordkins warpaint and gear.

Similarly the Rat Ogres are hired from Moulder, but equipped with Mordkin gear. They're known as Warp Runners by the clan, and are drugged and filled with Skavenbrew. Which at times causes them to Vomit the bloody warpstone infused concoction over their foes.

Finally the Bonehides are the star Blitzers of the team. They're the clan's Stormvermin, again dressed in skeletal armour over their standard blood bowl equipment . Unlike Stormvermin Bonehides carry daggers carved from bone.

Animosity was added across the team as the clan aside from Bonehides is made up of hired Slaves and Rat Ogres from other Clans. Further I wanted to represent Skavens inability to work together, that they're untrustworthy and deceitful. Which is a cornerstone of their background, but not really captured in any of their teams.
