Cunning and malevolent, the skaven seek to spread ruin and corruption wherever they go. This insidious race of vermin-men worships the foul god known as the Great Horned Rat, and their plots and schemes are truly diabolical in their complexity. Kill-steal in Warcry yes-yes! Ahem. If you’re looking to start a Skaven warband for skirmish battles (or expand one!), this set is for you, giving you everything you need for a diverse warband of ratmen. It also contains a number of accessories to help you in your games. What’s more, you’ll save money compared to getting the models inside separately! —description from the publisher
