Unsurprisingly, the battletome does not really have viable single-drop army builds, but you can get reasonably low. The book has viable single clan armies as well as viable mixed clan army builds.There are so many options in the Skaven book that I’m sure I can only scratch the surface in this review and I look forward to seeing what experienced players like Dan and others do once they have gnawed their way through the whole book and got games in. I expect Skryre will now shift to long-range and support shooting sitting behind the walls of Clanrats and Plague Monks in suitable fashion (although I hear tales of Dan Brewer and Acolytes). Masterclan (the Verminlords, Thanquol and Grey Seers) are back with a vengeance and significantly powerful. What does new Skaven look like? Pure Pestilens is definitely viable and has increased in power, mixed lists will be much more common and the army will gain the benefit of its new range of 2-cast spell casters. That Skryre pop-up build is gone and the army is more balanced as a whole as a result. So up to this point, Skaven armies at events have either been full Pestilens (having the benefit of a book, plagues and buffed up plague monks) or full Skryre pop-up mortal wound explosion.

Its super versatile and light so worldwide shipping is inexpensive. Now I couldn’t have done this review without the informed help of two local Skaven experts – Aiden Nicol (unhealthily obsessed with Pestilens) and Julien Lestat (Skryre warlock and 2017 NZ Master).Īnd, as always, check out Dark Fantastic Mills for great 3D printed terrain perfect for wargaming. If you are interested in the other half of the Carrion Empire box-set, you can read my Flesh-Eater Courts battletome review. If you want a warscroll by warscroll breakdown you can check that out here. This will only scratch the surface of the book and I’m sure I’ll need to come back and write more on the rats. All while picking out our favourite bits. In this post, we break down the book, the allegiance abilities, artefacts, spell lores, battalions and potential army builds. This army has so many tools available to it that you will easily see it around the top tables at events. As we’ll see, there have been massive changes to both Skaven units’ warscrolls and the surrounding rules and abilities. Now they have properly been brought into Age of Sigmar with all the toys of Age of Sigmar Second Edition. Skaven are unique Games Workshop IP and have always been at the core of the Warhammer world (literally and figuratively). The new Skaven battletome has reunited the clans and is likely to prove a defining moment for the future of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
