Skaven hate the clans that sided with Nurgle, two civil wars have proven it, yet they diversify their own population by making, essentially, warrior castes that each excel in one thing. Skaven are omnipresent, a feature important for the guerulla warfare Slann and Old Ones were fighting in, as their war became essentially a war of attrition, and they became like the occupied country, as chaos beasts rolled in. Skaven transmute warmbloods into a minimum-maintenance, highly numerous army, that maitains quality by constant infighting for supremacy between each other (strongest survive - a biological selection to make sure only the best warriors make it), yet stays relatively monolithic, through the guidance of the council, without the grudges between elves, dwarfs and man.

But, much like the Lizardmen - they have lost their aim, like their god, and therefore exist as a part of a machine that keeps going by itself, an engine that works, but without a propeller, for example, much like Lizardmen - without a purpose (except their prime directive - absorb everyone who is not them and destroy as long as they exist).
