upon mankind. For centuries they have been content

to feed upon his ruins, to seed plague in his cities,

and spread contagion amongst his lands. At least they

were content to wait and watch, for now everything

has suddenly changed. Now the destruction of

Mordheim has created new opportunities in the

secret war against mankind.

Since ancient times the Skaven have searched the

world for the stones of power that men in their

ignorance call wyrdstone but which Skaven have long

since known as warpstone, blackstone, or seerstone.

It was as a result of gnawing upon this magic stone in

ages past that commonplace rats began the slow

process of mutation that spawned the Skaven race.

Wyrdstone is quite literally in their blood, for they

feed upon it and make use of it in their foul sorceries.

Until now the ratmen’s search for wyrdstone has been

difficult and time-consuming as the stone has grown

increasingly rare, but now a new and abundant

source has appeared – a dark blessing from the skies!

For the Skaven of Clan Eshin, this is an especially

opportune time for such a thing to happen, for, just

as the Empire is divided, so the Skaven race is divided

amongst itself. Clan fights clan the world over, each

struggling for domination of the Council of Thirteen

whose masters rule the Skaven race. Mordheim’s

secret is not yet revealed to all the clans, or else the

City of the Damned would already be overrun with

ratmen. The Nightmaster of Clan Eshin is keen to

guard this secret, and for this reason has not sent his

multitudinous armies into Mordheim. Instead, he has

sent small warbands of Skaven skittering through

secret tunnels into the city to gather up the shining

stones and bring them back to the clan nests.

The Skaven of Clan Eshin are supremely adapted to

their task. Masters of the art of bringing silent death to

their foes, they are skilled in the use of poison and

trained in the thousand secrets of the assassin.

Since birth Skaven warriors practise martial crafts in

the ruinous temples of the Horned Rat, their ever-

hungering and hideous god. There are none better

amongst their verminous kind to gather up the

treasure of Mordheim, but they must be silent, swift

and efficient. Were rival Skaven clans to discover

the secret of Mordheim there would come not

hundreds, not thousands, but millions upon

millions to contend for the wyrdstone in the City

of the Damned.

Unbeknownst to man,

for thousands of years he has

shared his world with another

and altogether different race.

There have always been signs

for those who cared to see

them: a scurrying black

shadow, an inhuman scream

from the sewer, scuttling

shapes at the back of the cellar.

All these years these creatures have worked

away in secret, burrowing beneath the world of man,

undermining his great cities, infiltrating his sewers

and cellars, and joining all up into a vast world-

spanning labyrinth of tunnels and nests. These

creatures call themselves Skaven and they are

ratmen, the mutant spawn of an older age of

chaos and mutation.

Doubtless one day the

Skaven will be ready to

emerge from their

tunnels and wage

open war

Skaven

Skaven special equipment

This equipment is only available to Skaven, and no other warbands may purchase it. See the Trading

section for full rules on acquiring rare items.

fighting claws

35 gold crowns per pair

Availability: Rare 7, Skaven only

The martial arts practised by Clan Eshin employ many

unusual weapons. The most famous of these are the

Eshin Fighting Claws: sharp metal blades attached to

the paws of a Skaven warrior. It takes a real expert to

use them effectively, but an adept of Clan Eshin is a

fearsome opponent when armed this way.

Save

blowpipe

25 gold crowns

Availability: Rare 7, Skaven only

The blowpipe is a short hollow tube which can be

used to shoot poisoned darts. While the darts by

themselves are too small to cause significant damage,

the poison used by the Skaven can cause searing

agony and eventual death.

The other advantage of a blowpipe is that it is silent,

and a well-hidden shooter can fire the darts

undetected.

SPECIAL RULES

Pair: Fighting Claws are traditionally used in pairs,

one in each hand. A warrior armed with Fighting

Claws gets an additional attack.

Climb: A Skaven equipped with Fighting Claws can

add +1 to his Initiative when making Climbing tests.

Parry: A Skaven armed with Fighting Claws may parry

blows and can re-roll a failed attempt once, in the

same way as a model armed with a sword and buckler.

Cumbersome. A model armed with Fighting Claws

may not use any other weapons in the entire battle.

SPECIAL RULES

Poison: The needles fired by

a blowpipe are coated in a

venom very similar in its

effects to the Black Lotus (if

you roll a 6 on the To Hit

roll, the victim is

automatically wounded). A blowpipe cannot cause

critical hits. This weapon has a positive armour save

modifier, so a model that normally has a save of 5+

will get a save of 4+ against a blowpipe dart. Even

models that normally do not have an armour save

will get a 6+ save to take into account protection

offered by clothes, fur or the like.

Stealthy: A Skaven armed with a blowpipe can fire

while hidden without revealing his position to the

enemy. The target model can take an Initiative test in

order to try to spot the firing Skaven. If the test is

successful, the Skaven no longer counts as hidden.

weeping blades

50 gold crowns (per pair)

Availability: Rare 9, Skaven only

The adepts of Clan Eshin use weapons called Weeping

Blades, murderous swords constructed with a small

amount of warpstone in their structure. A Weeping

Blade constantly sweats a deadly corrosive venom.

Range Strength Special rules

Close Com. As user Pair, Venomous, Parry

Pair: Weeping Blades are traditionally used in pairs,

one in each hand. A warrior armed with Weeping

Blades gets an additional attack.

Venomous: The venom of Weeping Blades will enter

the blood of the victim and ravage his organs and

muscles. These weapons count as being permanently

coated in black lotus (see the Equipment section). No

additional poison may be applied to Weeping Blades.

Parry: Weeping Blades are swords and can be used

for parrying.

warplock pistol

35 gold crowns (70 for a brace)

Availability: Rare 11, Skaven only

Warplock pistols are terrifying weapons, testimony to

the mad genius of Clan Skryre engineers. Warplock

pistols shoot ammunition made of magically treated

warpstone and wounds caused by warplock pistols

are horrible to behold and often cause infections.

Skaven special skills

Skaven Heroes may choose to use the

following Skill list instead of any of the standard Skill tables available to them.

black hunger

The Skaven can draw upon the dreaded Black Hunger, the fighting frenzy which gives him

unnatural strength and speed but can ravage him from inside. The Skaven Hero may

declare at the beginning of his turn that he is using this skill. The Hero may add +1

attack and +D3" to the total move to his profile for the duration of his own turn

but will suffer D3 S3 hits with no armour save possible at the end of the

turn.

tail fighting

The Skaven may wield a shield, knife or a sword with its tail. The

model gains an extra attack with the appropriate weapon or a +1

bonus to its armour save.

wall runner

The Skaven does not need to take an Initiative test when

climbing up walls and other sheer surfaces.

infiltration

A Skaven with this skill is always placed on the battlefield

after the opposing warband and can be placed anywhere

on the table as long as it is out of sight of the opposing

warband and more than 12" away from any enemy model.

If both players have models which infiltrate, roll a D6 for

each, and the lowest roll sets up first.

art of silent death

The Skaven has patiently mastered the deadly art of

open-hand fighting, as taught by the mystics of Cathay in

the temples of the far East. In hand-to-hand combat, the

Skaven can fight with his bare paws without any

penalties and counts as having two weapons (ie, +1

attack). In addition, a Skaven Hero with this skill will

cause a critical hit on a To Wound roll of 5-6 instead of

just 6. This skill may be used in conjunction with the

Eshin Fighting Claws (+2 Attacks instead of +1).
