The Skaven can best be described as ruthlessly practical. They are not above using any tactic or technology to gain the advantage, even if such behavior is considered underhanded by other races. They will pour endless numbers of underpowered infantry on the enemy, pelt them from afar with weapons that twist the Warp to inflict damage, and create clouds of poison gas and plague to slaughter their foes. This section will tell you how to start building a potent Skaven army.

Collecting, painting, and fielding a brand-new army for Warhammer may seem a bit daunting at first. Fear not! On the following pages, you'll find a bunch of useful information on how to assemble your models and then give them a basic paint job with a minimal number of colors. There's even a fun scenario you can play with your fledgling Skaven army. With this scenario, you can start playing even while you gradually amass your Skaven clans.

It's time to get started, so gather your clippers, glue, paints, and your copy of Warhammer Armies: Skaven. Armies don't paint themselves you know!

Next: Warhammer Armies: Skaven.
