The Skaven have risen in power, with their deity firmly established within the Chaos pantheon and their insatiable hunger materializing in real-time. “Battletome: Skaven” acts as the ultimate guide to these infamous ratfolk, displaying their cowardly behavior and providing all the necessary tools for playing with them.

Rules for deploying this Spearhead in the unique game mode will be provided for free on Warhammer Community, or players can choose to include them in their army as additional reinforcements.

The Great Horned Rat has chosen to elevate a monstrous being, Vizzik Skour, through the catastrophic fires of the Vermindoom to serve as a prophet. Leading a group called the Great Grand Gnaw Horde, Vizzik Skour infects both allies and dissenters with a death frenzy, propelling them into escalating levels of mindless violence. Adorned in tattered robes and wielding an unholy gnawstaff, this colossal figure, covered in a multitude of vermin and crowned with a cluster of twisted horns, serves as a striking focal point for any Skaven army.

Krittok Foulblade, the most assiduous of all Clawlords in the Clans Verminus, has a knack for using the promise of survival to instill loyalty in his minions. Despite his relatively advanced age for a Skaven, Krittok remains a formidable combatant thanks to his deadly daemon-blade, Doomfang. Each time he strikes a bargain with the Verminlord trapped within the blade, he can fight with the ferocity of a much younger Skaven. Moreover, with every deal made, the daemon’s sentence is reduced.
Arch-Warlock Retail Price: $38 CAD$48 €32.50 £25
Quick Order Links: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming| Element Games (UK) | Noble Knight Games | eBay| or | Games Workshop’s Store. This site contains affiliate links, and Spikey Bits earns from qualifying purchases.
The Clans Skryre are each led by an Arch-Warlock, a master inventor and chaotic engineer. Their appearance, marked by singed fur and cruel prostheses, reflects their adventurous pursuit of increasingly destructive weapons. They harness technology as a form of sorcery, wielding crackling stormcage halberds with mastery.

The Master Moulders oversee the Clans Moulder and are committed to pushing the boundaries of biological experimentation, often yielding disturbing results. Their creations are a fusion of different flesh, resulting in monstrous entities that bear little resemblance to their original forms.

Quick Order Links: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming| Element Games (UK) | Noble Knight Games | eBay| or | Games Workshop’s Store. This site contains affiliate links, and Spikey Bits earns from qualifying purchases.
The Skaven have a preference for keeping a safe distance from their enemies and often use Warpspark Weapon Battery crews to hide within their ranks.

Quick Order Links: | Amazon | Dicehead Games | Bazooka Games | Frontline Gaming| Element Games (UK) | Noble Knight Games | eBay| or | Games Workshop’s Store. This site contains affiliate links, and Spikey Bits earns from qualifying purchases.
Skaven destined to become Stormvermin are selected at birth based on their ability to outdo their siblings. They undergo harsh training supervised by relentless Clawlords and are provided with top-notch gear.
