All The New Skaven Models Revealed For 4th Edition Age of Sigmar Guide
The hype for skaven in the 4th Edition of Age of Sigmar is real, and it’s not just because of the promise of exciting new rules; it also means new models to add to your collection! Let’s take a look at Games Workshop’s 4th Edition of Age of Sigmar Skaven model reveals and the rumors about what else they may get!
New AoS Hel Crown Skaven Miniatures
The siege of Hel Crown has come to a grim conclusion, and all that’s left is tallying up the damage. The defenders fought like legends, but the sheer weight of Skaven numbers was just too overwhelming. The Stormcast Eternals have been knocked down a peg, and now the ratmen are swarming across the Adamantine Chain like it’s their personal playground. With fresh Gnawholes tearing up the landscape and the city falling under the shadow of the Great Horned Rat, it’s clear that Hel Crown’s glory days are officially over. Here is the latest on the new Skaven Miniatures from the Warhammer Community.
New Clan Skyre Models
Acolyte Globadiers
Underneath the Warlocks of Clan Skryre, you’ve got a motley crew of underlings, including the Acolyte Globadiers. These guys are decked out in protective gear and armed with poisoned wind globes—little bombs full of gaseous warpstone that turn anyone who breathes them in into a pile of goo. Each Acolyte is a wannabe genius, constantly tweaking their gear in hopes of impressing the higher-ups.
Warp-Grinder
Even the Skaven’s endless hunger can’t crack the walls of reality—at least not on its own. But the mad scientists of Clan Skryre aren’t about to let a little thing like that stop them. These crazed inventors whipped up Warp-Grinders, devices that channel warpstone energy into a beam powerful enough to punch through the very fabric of reality. And when it comes to lesser obstacles like Steam Tanks, Mega-Gargants, or rampaging Maw-Gruntas? The Warp-Grinders slice through them like butter.
Doom Flayers
Originally intended for mining, the wild and unpredictable Doom-Flayers have found a new calling as weapons of war. Any Skaven lucky—or unlucky—enough to pilot one of these crude machines is bound to rev the engine to the max, sending these spinning death machines tearing across the battlefield. As they plow through the enemy ranks, they leave nothing but chaos and carnage in their wake.
Warpspark Battery
Skaven, being the cowards they are, have a soft spot for ranged weapons, and the ingenious minds of Clan Skryre have delivered in spades with their Warpspark Weapon Batteries. These include Ratling Guns, Warpfire Throwers, and Warpvolt Scourgers, all deployed alongside the endless hordes of Clanrats. These weapons are devastating on the battlefield, with their operators often cackling with mad glee—right up until the moment the thing explodes in their face.
Warlock Galvaneer
Warlock Galvaneers, some of the most unhinged members of Clan Skryre, have a serious obsession with warp-lightning—a highly dangerous and barely controllable force. On the battlefield, they wield their Warpvolt Obliterators to supercharge other devices and unleash crackling volleys of destructive energy at their enemies
Arch Warlock
Each Clan Skryre is led by an Arch-Warlock who’s equal parts genius and menace. These warp-science wizards are the brains behind deadly machines like the Ratling Warpblasters and their own customized gear. With a collection of quirky gadgets, they can crudely harness magical energy, storing it in aether-accumulators until they’re ready to unleash it in devastating blasts.
New AoS Skaven Miniatures: Clan Moulder
Thanquol & Boneripper
They didn’t give us too much info on what they will do on the battlefield, but the re-release of this amazing kit has tons of detail, and we’re sure it will be a favorite for any Clan Moulder players out there!
Brood Terror
Created in the foul labs of Clan Moulder, the Brood Terror is a testament to the Skaven’s dark practices. These grotesque giants are formed through unwilling sacrifices, often with the head of the Master Moulder still alive and guiding the beast toward its next victim. The Brood Terror is not just a sight to behold; it’s a force to be reckoned with. Equipped with giant rusted flails, warpflame scourgers, and flensing knife-limbs, this monstrosity can crush, blast, and dissect foes with terrifying efficiency.
In the stream, they mentioned you could put Skaven inside the Brood Terror and actually pop up out of the ground directly into combat with enemy units!
Master Moulder
Master Moulders, their own bodies warped by years of exposure to warpstone and self-experimentation, lead the charge. Accompanied by packs of hulking Rat Ogors, these deranged masterminds are always on the hunt for fresh test subjects, armed with their vicious things-catchers to snare their next victim.
New AoS Skaven Miniatures: Clan Verminous
Stormvermin
While most Skaven are notorious for their cowardly, backstabbing ways, the same can’t be said for the brawny and armored Stormvermin. These fierce warriors are marked for greatness from birth, having already shown their ruthlessness by devouring their litter-mates. Put through a grueling training regime that hones their brutal instincts; they wield deadly halberds with a discipline that’s rare among Skaven.
Krittok Foulblade, the notorious Clawlord, distinguishes himself from his peers with his icy, calculating frugality. Sure, he has no qualms about sending hordes of Clanrats to their doom—it’s his prerogative—but he figures that sparing a few today might mean they can be sacrificed more efficiently tomorrow.
Vizzik Skour
When Kragnos broke free from his mountain prison in Ghur, the resulting surge of primal energy even rattled Blight City from the heart of the Masterburrow, a wild daemon of ruin burst forth, its fury only quelled by desperate prayers to the Great Horned Rat. After the Vermindoom secured the Skaven god’s spot in the Chaos pantheon, this daemon was shaped into Vizzik Skour, Lord of the Gnaw and Prophet of the Horned Rat.
Vizzik now rules from Hexeneste, the grand cathedral at the center of the Gnaw, where he spreads a death frenzy among his twisted followers. These crazed ratmen, driven by a bloodthirsty zeal unusual for Skaven, attack with relentless fury. Meanwhile, Vizzik wields his Gnawstaff to purge the realm of non-believers—whether they’re enemies or fellow Skaven who fail to meet his standards.
New 4th Edition Skaven Battletome
All the rules for these new units will be packed into the upcoming Battletome: Skaven, the ultimate guide to the Skaven in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The new edition has given these books a major makeover, and Games Workshop will be dropping more on their fresh look soon.
GW Reveals First Official Skaven Models For 4th Edition Age of Sigmar!
Here is the latest on the second batch of models revealed for 4th Edition AoS from Warhammer Community for Skaven in the Skaventide box set.
To be a Clanrat is to be a single drop in an ocean of teeth, claws, and matted fur. They are the expendable foot soldiers of the Great Clans, armed with rusted weapons and ragged clothing, but for all their individual cowardice and lacklustre fighting skills they are still deadly in numbers and will gleefully overwhelm larger foes in a living tide of stabbing blades.
Clanrats are a staple of almost every Skaven army, so it only makes sense to see them get a rework!
Such erratic soldiers still need to be kept in line despite the unstoppable inertia of their great swarms, and it’s common to see Skaven with above-average bravery and ambition take the role of champions, musicians, and banner bearers to rally their lesser kin. Quite how they found the time to fashion instruments in the din of battle is anyone’s guess.
The new models look great while keeping that awesome Skaven appeal.
There is no formal uniform for a Clanrat and most scavenge whatever sharp blades and sturdy shields they can find on their way to a battle. Their wooden bastions are as likely to fall apart as stop an attack from a Stormcast Eternal, but with such a dreadfully low survival rate being the norm on the Skaven frontline, any chance of blocking an errant arrow or sword swipe is greedily coveted.
They look to have a lot of options, and when compared with the older models, they also appear to be much more dynamic.
In fact, if anything unites Skaven Clanrats at all, it’s their overall shabby appearance. But what incredible models they are nonetheless!
If you play Skaven (or want to), the new edition of Sigmar is looking to be the one for you!
Size Comparisons
The existing plastic Clanrats are venerable artefacts from the World-that-Was, and it’s finally time for the backbone of the Skaven military to get the update they deserve. They still keep their classic hunched posture and raggedy equipment, rendering the sorry state of your rank and file in better detail than they’ve ever seen before.
They are about the same size as the old ones and still seem slightly more hunched, but these new 4th Edition AoS Skaven models are obviously way smaller than the new Stormcast!
