Step back in time to the Age of Myth and delve into the eerie world of the skaven of the Clans Pestilens. These ratfolk have been on a relentless quest for power, and their latest revelation is nothing short of chilling – the existence of 13 Great Plagues. Having harnessed seven of these already, the Plague Lords now seek the eighth Great Plague’s rotten reagent hidden in the mysterious Wyrdhollow beneath the Gnarlwood.
Embark on a disease-infested journey with Skabbik’s Plaguepack, dispatched to uncover this elusive ingredient and spread corruption along the way. With Skabbik and his minions available for pre-order this weekend, we’ve gathered some expert tips from the creators of Warhammer Underworlds to help you master their deadly tactics.
Skabbik’s Plaguepack excels in a mix of aggressive and objective-based gameplay. While skaven are not known for their resilience or accuracy, Skabbik and Rabidus stand out as heavy hitters, charging into enemy territory to eliminate opponents. The rest of the warband can then focus on securing home objectives, corrupting territories, and eventually Inspiring before launching a final surge.
Skabbik Plagueseeker serves as the vital linchpin for the entire warband. Relatively durable for a verminkin, he can stagger adjacent fighters at the start of a round with his Befouler ability. Boosting his defense is a wise choice, especially if your damage buffs empower lesser fighters, crucial when preventing your opponents from Inspiring.
Rabidus Skench, your secret weapon, unleashes ferocious attacks like a rampaging Stonehorn. When Inspired, his Flailing Plague Censer becomes menacing, hitting multiple targets with the Scything keyword. Direct Rabidus towards the enemy’s weakest foes, and watch the devastation unfold.
Meet Skritter, the Plaguepack’s pint-sized pestilent pet. Although “Worthless” on paper, Skritter’s speed, ability to Corrupt territory, and staggering opponents make him a priority target for your foes. Use him strategically to score objectives like Blessed By Corruption and Useful Distraction.
The remaining ratfolk warriors serve to distract and overwhelm your opponent. Itchitt excels in area denial with his Book of Woe ability, while Poxlik and Rikkit help Corrupt more territories, Inspiring your heavy hitters. Don’t miss the utility of Move-move! and Manifestations of the Great Plague to enhance your aggressive playstyle.
Skabbik’s Plaguepack synergizes well with various Rivals Decks. Beastbound Assault complements your swarm tactics, while Fearsome Fortress excels at holding the mid-table. For strategic players, Voidcursed Thralls offers numerous options, toughening up the warband and preventing their retreat.
