Skaven

The diabolical schemes of the skaven are a blight on the Mortal Realms. These devious ratmen are utterly convinced of their superiority over all sentient beings. Through the use of deadly contagions, arcane technology, hideous monsters and sheer weight of numbers, they may yet achieve their grand plans of ultimate domination.

Skabbik's Plaguepack

The diseased skaven of Skabbik's Plaguepack plan to usher in the birth of one of the Great Plagues – an apocalyptic disease prophecised amongst the fanatical verminkin of the Clans Pestilens. Their foulsome quest has taken the Plaguepack deep into the heart of Wyrdhollow, to seek one of the arcane ingredients in this foul brew. Should Skabbik's noisome flock succeed in their task, great swathes of the Mortal Realms may be reduced to rancid rotting mulch. Let their enemies beware – a sickening death awaits any who stand against the children of the Great Corruptor.

Designer's Commentary

Q: How does the Recite from the Book of Woes ability work?
A: Until the end of the round, enemy fighters cannot use abilities while they are within 3" of the fighter that used the ability. This has no effect on abilities used by fighters more than 3" from the fighter that used the ability. It also has no effect on reactions.
