Why you should play Skaven!

Body

Love the competition and I figured I'd get things started and secure myself a chance to win by sharing with all of you why you should consider playing Skaven!

  • They are chaotic and crazy!
  • They have a unique playstyle characterized by overwhelming numbers, unpredictable magic and reliance on cunning tactics.
  • They have a wide variety of units ranging from lowly clanrats, monstrous rat ogres, warlock engineers and so much more.
  • Their artillery is so dope. The plagueclaw catapults are my favourite and can deal a lot of splash damage.
  • Skaven magic is based on warpstone-infused magic. Warpstone is a mysterious and dangerous material which is highly volatile and corrupting!


I've been interested in getting into Warhammer properly for awhile now as most of my experience comes from playing Total War games so winning will allow me to start that journey. Also I can use lots of the minis for D&D too! Good luck to everyone who gets involved and get creative. You can really talk about anything that is related to Age of Sigmar and there is so much to talk about!
