Skaven

Skaven

Skaven are the endless ratmen hordes of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: cunning, paranoid, cruel and dangerously inventive servants of Chaos. They spread beneath the Mortal Realms like a living plague, undermining cities, building unstable weapons, unleashing monsters and overwhelming their enemies through numbers, treachery and sheer madness.

This category can include Skaven miniatures, battletomes, army boxes, Spearhead sets, heroes, units and related products for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, depending on current availability. It is a useful place to start if you want to build a new Skaven army or expand an existing force with clanrats, stormfiends, war machines, monsters or powerful leaders.

On the tabletop, Skaven are usually fast, numerous and unpredictable. They can flood objectives with cheap infantry, support the army with dangerous shooting and strange machinery, or bring terrifying elite units and monsters to break through key targets. Skaven often reward players who enjoy pressure, board control, clever trades and a little bit of glorious chaos when the machines start to overheat.

For painting and collecting, Skaven offer a huge range of character. You can paint dirty fur, rusted metal, glowing warpstone, cloth, bone, wood, machinery and mutated creatures across the same army. They are great for hobbyists who enjoy weathering, grimy bases, toxic effects and models that look full of personality on the shelf and on the table.

At Geek Shelter, we recommend Skaven for players in Israel who want an Age of Sigmar army with a strong visual identity, many list-building directions and a very different feel from classic elite fantasy armies. Whether you like mass infantry, mad science, monsters or sneaky Chaos energy, Skaven are one of the most characterful factions in the game.
