The Skaven make ingenious use of warpstone, harnessing its power in myriad ways, including carving it into trinkets imbued with the very essence of Chaos.
This set of 16 dice are designed to remind you of warpstone, giving you the manic confidence you need to take down your enemies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Each dice is 16mm cubed with rounded edges, cast in a deep green. The markings are picked out in a bright green, and the ‘6’-face bears the icon of the Skaven.
The Skaven menace is a motley amalgamation of a wide variety of clans that often fight together, but also retain their independence. In a large pitched battle, you’ll find warriors from every one, each with their own ways of war.

The Gamer’s Edition packs all that material into a more compact softback format. It includes a set of cards to reference during games and an envelope so you can bring along just the cards you need for your game.
Krittok Foulblade is canny and cruel in equal measure, with a profound instinct for where his minions’ deaths can best serve him. This same cold and calculating mindset is extended by the Clawlord to his dealings with his daemon-blade Doomfang, for the raging Verminlord trapped within its steel must be bargained with constantly if its powers are to bolster Krittok’s own warrior abilities.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Krittok Foulblade, a cruel Skaven leader of the Clans Verminus. Foulblade wields the cursed daemon-blade known as Doomfang, making him a deadly opponent in melee, despite his advancing years.
This kit contains 19 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Rat Ogors are rabid war-mutants created by grafting nimble Skaven to the muscled bulk of ogorkind through strange flesh-crafting, sorcery and infusing them with warpstone shards. These misbegotten warriors are then pumped full of all manner of toxic serums designed to magnify both their regenerative properties and their natural frenzy.
This multipart plastic kit builds three Rat Ogors, frenzied shock troops for your Skaven horde. You can arm one of these hulking monstrosities with a warpfire gun, and there are helmeted and unhelmeted head options for each one.
This kit contains 48 plastic components, and 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
An Arch-Warlock crouches at the head of every Skryre clan. They are masters of lethal science, and they have personally overseen the creation of all manner of temperamental, but utterly deadly, techno-arcane superweapons. An Arch-Warlock’s mind is a thing of whirring brass gears, constantly churning out new schematics of death.
This mulitpart plastic kit builds an Arch-Warlock, a hero of the Clans Skryre, for use in your Skaven army. Both a scientist and a wizard, their equipment and weaponry are truly bizarre, replete with unfathomable generators, alchemical alembics, bits of warpstone, and the like. Their warpfire gauntlets spit death at close range, before they close in and finish the job with piston-driven claws and cruel blades.
This kit contains 19 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Warplock Jezzail teams are masters of long-range warfare, a respected art amongst the Skaven. Skilled snipers amongst the Clans Skryre take up the Warplock Jezzails, from which they can spit death from a safe distance. Two Skaven are needed to carry a Jezzail – the second one makes themselves useful by clutching a large shield that props up the heavy rifle and provides a measure of defence against return fire.
This multipart plastic kit builds three Warplock Jezzail teams, skilled ranged units for your Skaven army. The long-ranged assassins are adept at taking down your foes from a safe distance, and their shields make them surprisingly durable. Each shield-bearer works with each gunner in the kit, and there’s an option for a champion with a double-barrelled weapon, making it easy to customise your unit.
This kit contains 24 plastic components, and 3x Citadel 60mm x 35mm Oval Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Vizzik Skour, Prophet of the Horned Rat $160
Vizzik Skour was created in the apocalyptic fires of the Vermindoom, and has the distinction of being the chief priest of the Horned Rat, Lord of the Gnaw, and master of the mind-shattering death frenzy. The force of this daemon’s diabolical zeal is enough to crack the land and drive Skaven swarms into a frothing frenzy.
This multipart plastic kit builds Vizzik Skour, a daemonic priest of the ascended Horned Rat, and an incredibly powerful leader for your Skaven armies. This immense model looms over the battlefield, and is festooned with details that make it a fantastic centrepiece for your entire collection.
This kit contains 42 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 130mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Brood Terrors are among the most hideous aberrations of the Clans Moulder. These twin-headed titans lurch between bouts of low cunning and bestial rage. Surrounded by clouds of mutagenic fog, they lumber forth with an ungainly but definite purpose. Hooked flails drag their prey closer, bathing them in warpflame or vivisecting them with swift knife arms.
This multipart plastic kit builds a massive Brood Terror, a hulking beast to bolster the front lines of your Skaven army. Clearly the handiwork of the Clans Moulder, these creatures are a mess of limbs and integrated machines, all claws, blades, chains, and gnashing teeth. Soften up your targets with bouts of warpflame, then close in to finish the job in a gory frenzy. Tremendously hard to kill, these creatures are sure to put a dent in your opponent’s plans.
This kit contains 16 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 90mm Round Base. This push-fit miniature can be assembled without glue, and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Warlock Galvaneers are connoisseurs of electrically charged annihilation. These twitchy maniacs are obsessed with channelling the voltaic energies that course through the veins of the Dark Innovator. Wielding battery-powered warpvolt obliterators, they scamper into the fray, their weapons spitting crackling arcs of warp-corrupted lightning that scorch flesh and turn even heavily armoured foes into jerking, smoking corpses.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Warlock Galvaneer of the Clans Skryre, a support hero wielding a warpvolt obliterator. These diabolical creatures are incredibly deadly, able to blast apart enemies of the Horned Rat from a distance.
This kit contains 10 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
The Acolyte Globadiers of the Clans Skryre are a step above the thrall-rats that toil on the production lines or serve as fodder for weapons testing. They are tinkers, miners, and munitionists, who constantly scheme in hopes of attaining the status of Warlock – a fact which sees their masters hurl them into battle carrying fragile spheres of volatile toxic gas, the better to thin out any future rivals.
This multipart plastic kit builds five Acolyte Globadiers, noxious gas-wielding infantry of the Clans Skryre. Each Globadier carries a payload of poisoned wind globes, ready to shatter and unleash a toxic cloud of death, alongside a rusty knife for foes who get too close. The kit includes five different masked heads, robed bodies, and pressurised back-tanks, which can all be used in any combination to create loads of variety amongst your Skryre skirmishers. You’ll also find an extra crested head and a more impressive knife, which can be used to build a champion from one of your Acolytes.
This kit contains 45 plastic components, and 5x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
A Warp-Grinder is an arcane reality-boring machine. Manoeuvred by straining thralls and operated by Warlocks who have taken their obsession with undermining their foes to terrifying extremes, these bulky constructs project powerful – if erratic – blasts of energy to open gnawholes, and tunnel into vulnerable regions of a battlefield to allow screeching warrior swarms to set upon enemies from quarters unforeseen.
This multipart plastic kit builds a large drilling machine operated by a team of Skaven, and it opens up new tactical options for your army. Tunnel under enemy lines and unleash the power of a warpstone drill upon your enemies. The kit has plenty of options for the Warp-Grinder and its crew, making it easy to personalise your war machines.
This kit contains 38 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 90mm by 52.5mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Warpspark Weapon Batteries are members of the Clans Skryre, who often go to war unnoticed among hordes of slavering Clanrats. When the time is right, they reveal themselves, unleashing their bizarre but mighty machines on an unsuspecting foe. Whether through a hail of bullets, gouts of eerie warpflame, or bolts of warp lightning, they reap a deadly harvest for the glory of the Horned Rat.
This multipart plastic kit builds three weapons teams wielding one of three different machines of death. All of them can be somewhat unreliable, but are tailored to taking down different foes. Ratling Guns produce a potential hailstorm of hot lead for mowing down enemy hordes. Warpfire Throwers spew out an unquenchable green flame, and Warpvolt Scourgers are excellent at taking down foes with arcs of warp lightning. You’ll find loads of cosmetic parts to swap around, including head options for each gunner, plus different weapon tips, backpacks, and more so you can easily personalise your units.
This kit contains 63 plastic components, and 3x Citadel 60mm x 35mm Oval Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Doom-Flayers were originally designed as mining devices, but now they trundle behind massed formations of Clanrats and Stormvermin, their operators impatiently revving the warp-engine. Eventually their destructive urges overtake them and they gun the acceleration to churn a great furrow forward through the earth.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Doom-Flayers – terrifying and ramshackle Skaven war-engines. These machines careen across the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, viciously hacking their way through enemy lines with whirling blades of death. These miniatures come with a choice of two heads and two arms for each Doom-Flayer pilot, and can be built either leaning to the left or the right.
This kit contains 32 plastic components, and 2x Citadel 50mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Master Moulders are experts in stitching muscle and flesh into new forms, and using warpstone to trigger mutations that twist mortal corpus beyond recognition. They take warped pride in the monsters they have brought into unholy life and consider the battlefield successes of these creatures to be their own.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Master Moulder. After long exposure to warpstone in their experiments to make yet more bizarre minions, they have become twisted and mutated themselves.
This kit contains 7 plastic components, and 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Stormvermin are easily identifiable by their relative bulk and aura of malice. Hand-picked from the most promising spawn of the litter – usually due to devouring many of their brood-mates – they are subjected to especially brutal training regimes by their Clawlords. This results in soldiers who are able to fight with a degree of precision and focus uncommon to their kin.
This multipart plastic kit builds ten Stormvermin, an elite melee unit for your Skaven armies. You can assemble one as a champion, with arm and head options to personalise them. You can also build a standard bearer and a musician for your squad. Stormvermin are excellent defensive warriors, with better armour and equipment than their peers, and long polearms that help keep their opponents at bay. This makes them some of the best bodyguards in a Skaven army.
This kit contains 74 plastic components, and 10x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Warpspark Clawpacks are formed when the teeming multitudes of the Clans Verminus are wielded alongside the volatile war machines of the Clans Skryre. The Clanrats serve to die at a Grey Seer’s discretion and provide an opportunity for devastating Skryre technology to be brought to bear.
This multipart boxed set builds 25x plastic Skaven miniatures, for use in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The set contains a complete Warpspark Clawpack Skaven Spearhead force, and is perfect for adding to an existing force or starting afresh.
This disheveled but deadly force is led by a cruel and calculating Grey Seer, with a horde of 20 Clanrats clambering over each other to do their bidding. Meanwhile three twisted and mutated Stormfiends, and a powerful Warp Lightning Cannon, fire volleys of warpstone-tainted projectiles at their foes, picking them off from afar.
This box also allows you to save money compared to buying each kit individually, making it an excellent way to start your army or expand an existing collection. These miniatures can also be used as a complete Warpspark Clawpack force for use in Spearhead games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – the rules for this Spearhead are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.
This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Grey Seer
– 20x Clanrats
– 3x Stormfiends
– 1x Warp Lightning Cannon
