The dynamic between the two races with machines is so fitting. The dwarves take centuries to develop certain things, because they’re so stubborn about using the tried and true methods but they also want to make sure it’s done just right. That’s quality! The Skaven on the other hand cobble creations together quickly and with the power of warpstone. This makes them devastating but with the side effect of malfunctioning and even exploding at the most inopportune times. That’s quantity. Say what you will about the Skaven, but I’ll take a Dwarven tool any day!

They're not stealing the ideas, they're improving upon them. I mean, when was the last time a Dwarven contraption fired literal beams of lightning? Or picked off a single infantryman from the other side of a battlefield? Or detonated in an explosion big enough to tear the heart from an entire army in one blast?
I wouldnt say improving, just changing. If they were improved they’d have less backsides to their use lol. The dwarves would probably blow them out of the water if they also used warpstone, but they have to stick with purely mechanical means, with some lovely runes mixed in
Good good... but, alternative... What about helstorm rocket battery instead? I'm guessing that it is *too* explosive and so never makes it out of a Skaven's hands, and thus has only killed Skaven.
Listen, it’s not the skaven’s fault that the beard things broken stuff is so good for modification to make into far superior skaven technology, yes yes

I mean, they did invent a fair share of their own stuff, like the far-squeeker.
And enough TRACTOR BEAMS to pull down a fucking moon.
And dorfs stole drakeguns
i think in lore they made the warp-fire throwers first then the dwarfs went "yeah that's a grudge" and made irondrakes

To be fair to the Skaven, it's not like the Dwarves don't steal back. The Drakegun was developed after (and likely based on) the warpfire thrower.
Other way round, the dwarfs invented the drake gun to kill monstrosities in the tunnels and the skaven copied ( or at least that’s what I think)
