Heya I'm wanting to run a one shot where everyone is skaven with the goal of messing with and thwarting the witch hunters on their tail, what would ya'll say is the best resource that ya'll use for skaven player characters? And info on witch hunters?

For 4e you should get The Enemy Within: The Horned Rat Companion (you can get the Horned Rat proper too, it will give you even more additional stuff). It has stats for almost all the Skavens types, their monstrosities, weapons, devices, their three lores of magic and so on with a lot lore on top. It doesn't have rules for player characters per se, but you can use the optional rule from the core rulebook to use the monster statblocks as templates.

You can also get Children of The Horned Rat for 2e - it has less statblocks, a bit less weapons, but also has some Skaven specific rules for crafting, experimental mutations etc. It also has rules for playing as Skavens but if you play 4e they would need quite a bit of work to adapt (the TEW companion would be better pick then imo). It also has an adventure that you can play either as normal party or as Skaven party.

For Witch Hunters the lore is scattered everywhere, but you can find info about Skaven Hunters in the books I mentioned.

Awesome! Thank you so much! And I figured with the witch hunters, since I have a cursory knowledge of them
