Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaven – Plague Monks is an expansion for Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Third Edition): Core Book released in 1992 60–240 minutes per game and ages 14 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
Driven into battle by their frenzied faith, the Plague Monks of Clan Pestilens are a repulsive tidal wave of filth that smashes into their enemies with the power of a flood. Wildly slashing, hacking and stabbing with their dirt-encrusted blades, they spread disease and foetidness wherever they fight, infecting with every blow and gnawing at foes with their rotting - yet still formidable - fangs. This multi-part plastic kit gives you everything needed to build a chittering horde of twenty Plague Monks, with the option of arming them with a pair of Foetid Blades or a Foetid Blade and Woe-stave. One model can be built as a Bringer-of-the-Word - he clutches either a Plague Scroll or Book of Woe. A model can be assembled as an Icon Bearer with either a Contagion Banner or Icon of Pestilence, and a model may be assembled as a Plague Harbinger, carrying either a Doom Gong or a dreaded Bale-chime.
The listed playing time for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaven – Plague Monks is 60–240 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
