The Skaven are in the ascendant. The Great Horned Rat has wriggled his way into the pantheon of Chaos gods, and a plot long in the making has resulted in the Vermindoom – the calamitous collision of Blight City into the Realm of Fire.
So what are the Skaven to the people of the Mortal Realms? Rumours whispered in taverns of loathsome ratmen that exist in the shadows and prey on the unwary? Or are they a known quantity in the Hour of Ruin? Luckily, Callis and Toll are on hand for a quick rundown of Skaven and their place in the Age of Sigmar.
There’s plenty more to learn about the Skaven and their machinations. You can read all about them and how they will play in the new edition here. If you’d prefer to take a dip into a deep, rat-filled bath of nostalgia, we’ve prepared a complete history.
