What You’ll Find in the Book

Gameplay Use
You’ll use the Battletome when building your army and directly at the table. Skaven often work thanks to a combination of large unit numbers, support effects, and clever timing of abilities. The book helps you understand how the different parts of the army work together, how to choose the right playstyle, and how not to get lost in the rules even during your first games.
Lore and Atmosphere
Skaven are paranoia, ambition, and total chaos wrapped into an army that is both fun and dangerous. Each clan has its own style – from technological madmen to hordes of infantry or disgusting mutations. The Battletome gives all of this context, so your army won’t just be a collection of models, but a faction with a clear identity and story.
Who the Book Is For
- For complete beginners who want their first army with a strong identity and need a clear overview of the rules.
- For players who enjoy combinations of numbers, tricks, crazy ideas, and unpredictable game tempo.
- For fans of Skaven lore who want inspiration for painting, clan focus, and creating their own army story.
How It Fits into the Army / Faction
This book is the core “command center” of the entire faction: you’ll find the rules that define how Skaven function on the tabletop and how to build a roster depending on whether you want more infantry, shooting, technological toys, or a mix of multiple clan approaches. If you want to play regularly, in clubs, or competitively, the Battletome ensures you’re building your army correctly.
