Clan Skryre

The leaders of Clan Skryre have stumbled across an
important secret. They have been enhancing some

of their diabolical inventions theyve sold to various
clans. By including arcane scrying devices they are
able to monitor some of the plans of their enemies
in other clans. The original idea was to forewarn
Lord Morskittar or any of the Clan Skryre Warlock
Masters if an assassin was close by or plotting his
downfall.
However this devious plan has unearthed something
more important to Clan Skryre. Apparently Clan
Eshin has been sending operatives to the human city
of Mordheim to gain possession of a large quantity
of warpstone (which is what the skaven call
wyrdstone). This has to be stopped. If Clan Eshin is
left to monopolise this treasure then it will be the
most powerful clan amongst the skaven. Of all the
clans, Clan Skryre rivals only Clan Moulder in its
need for warpstone. It is the main source of power
in all of their diabolical inventions.
They also realize that its sources are
getting scarcer, and so they
must do all they can to maintain
their stockpile.
Lord Morskittar has
charged Ikit Claw himself to
oversee the secret operations in
Mordheim. He has also modified
some of the more appropriate
weapons of the skaven
armies for use in the
cramped streets.
Training his chosen
Warlock Engineers
in how to do battle
above ground in a
human city, he has
sent them forth to
secure the
warpstone
in
Mordheim
for Clan
Skryre.
The other
clans must
not find out about
Clan Skryres involvement in
Mordheim. Lord Morskittar has decided
that it will be more beneficial if only his
clan and Clan Eshin know about this
warpstone deposit. He will not risk losing this
opportunity to maintain his position as the most
powerful leader of the clans. Because of this, Clan
Skryre must not deal with any other clan when
preparing its members for Mordhiem, in case they
find out about Clan Skryres plans. Ikit has also
declared that any Clan Eshin troops encountered are
to be wiped out and their warpstone reclaimed for
Clan Skryre. They should not be able to report to
their superiors about seeing Clan Skryre in the city.
A Clan Skryre warband is led by an insane Warlock
Engineer, and accompanied by his apprentices.
Slaves are never too far behind the Warlock
Engineers. They need test subjects for the arcane
experiments that each hopes will gain him a
foothold in the upper hierarchy of Clan Skryre. The
insane weapons of the Warlock Engineers give a
Clan Skryre warband the edge
they need against the horrors
of Mordheim, however
many can be very
unstable if the luck of
the Horned One
doesnt shine on
the day.

Clan Skryre special equipment
This equipment is only available to Clan Skryre, and no other warbands may purchase it. See the Trading section
for full rules on acquiring rare items.

poison wind globes
15+ 2D6 gold crowns
Availability: Rare 6, Clan Skryre only
These fragile spheres of glass are filled with toxic
warpstone-derived fumes produced by the Warlock
Engineers in their secret laboratories.
Range Strength Save Modifier Special Rules
6 Special Special Poison wind,
Drop
SPECIAL RULES
Poison wind: Obstacles do not affect the deadly gas
inside the globes. Ignore penalties to cover when
rolling to hit. This also means that they ignore
armour saves. A globe wounds any target and those
in base-to-base contact on a 4+.
Drop: If a model rolls a 1 to hit with a poison wind
globe, he has dropped it or the fragile sphere has
broken in its hands. Resolve a hit against the model
that dropped it (and any in base-to-base contact). A
model may voluntarily drop a globe instead of using
a weapon in close combat.
warp blades
40+D6 gold crowns
These arcane tools come in the shape of large blades
and are attached to any pole the skaven has handy.
SPECIAL RULES
Tap into the winds: Warp Blades may be attached
to any spear, staff or halberd. It gives its bearer the
knowledge of the Chain Lightening spell.
whip
5 gold crowns
Availability: Common, Clan Skryre only
Slaves are a common sight in Clan Skrye warbands,
and an Overseer with a whip knows how to keep
them in line.
Range Strength Special Rules
Close Com As user Cannot be parried
SPECIAL RULES
Cannot be parried: The whip is a very flexible
weapon. Attempts to parry its strikes are futile. A
model attacked by a whip may not make parries
with swords or bucklers.
warpfire thrower
65 + D6x10 gold crowns
Modified for use in the cramped streets of
Mordheim, this deadly device shoots a burst of
flaming, liquefied warpstone all over its horrified
targets.
1D6 5 -2 Move or fire,
Corrosive fluid,
Warpstone
injection,
Unstable
SPECIAL RULES
Move or fire: You may not move and fire a
warpfire thrower in the same turn, other than to
pivot on the spot to face your target or stand up
from knocked down.
Corrosive fluid: When your model fires the
warpstone thrower, draw a line 1d6 long and 1
wide. All models touched by its path are hit D3
times.
Warpstone injection: To operate the warstone
thrower a model with a warpstone pump must be in
base-to-base contact. For each warpstone token used
up in the warpstone pump, you may add a d6 to the
weapons range and its width increases by 1 (up to
maximum of 3 wide).
Unstable: If you roll a 1 on any die that is
determining range, you have caused a misfire,
consult the Instability Chart below.
ratling gun
A smaller version of the one used in Skaven armies,
the Ratling Gun used by Clan Skryre warbands can
still cause tremendous pain to its enemies.
12 3 -1 Move or fire,
Warpstone
injection,
Unstable
SPECIAL RULES
Move or fire: You may not move and fire a ratling
gun in the same turn, other than to pivot on the spot
to face your target or stand up from knocked down.
Warpstone injection: To operate the ratling gun a
model with a warpstone pump must be in base-to-
base contact. For each warpstone token used up in
the warpstone pump, you may fire an extra D3
shots. These extra shots may be split amongst more
than 1 model and must all be rolled to hit separately.
All targets must be within 6 of the first.
Unstable: If a 1 is rolled when rolling to hit, you
have caused a misfire. Do not continue to roll for
any more hits and consult the Instability Chart
below.
jezzail
The jezzail fires bullets of refined warpstone that
explode on impact, making a mockery of the
thickest armour.
36 6 -3 Move or fire,
Pavise, Prepare
Shot, Reliable
SPECIAL RULES
Move or fire: You may not move and fire a jezzail
in the same turn, other than to pivot on the spot to
face your target or stand up from knocked down.
Pavise: The barrel of the jezzail is too long to aim
without help. To fire a jezzail a model with a skaven
pavise must be in base-to-base contact.
Prepare shot: A jezzail takes a complete turn to
reload, so you may only fire it every other turn.
Reliable: If a 1 is rolled to hit, then roll another
dice. If that is a 1 then the jezzail has a serious
problem. The jezzail has backfired and hits the
model carrying it.
skaven pavise
15 gold crowns
This heavy shield is very effective against missile
attacks, and is often used to support a Skaven
carrying a jezzail.
SPECIAL RULES
Save: The pavise counts as a shield and also confers
a cover save against ranged attacks, but is too bulky
to be used in close combat. Using the core rules, this
would give its bearer a +2 save against ranged
attacks.
warpstone pump
40 gold crowns
SPECIAL RULES
Save: The metal covering the unstable mechanisms
inside the warpstone pump is very thick (for good
reason!). A model with a warpstone pump counts as
wearing heavy armour. He may not wear any
additional light or heavy armour if he carries a
warpstone pump.
Warpstone injector: Warpstone tokens may be
placed inside the warpstone pump by the model
carrying it at any time. The effects of this are listed
under the various entries of weapons that can make
use of this ability.
Unstable: If the model is wounded by a black
powder or fire-causing weapon then its equipment
may be damaged. Roll D3 on the Instability Chart.
gas mask
5 gold crowns
This protective device gives a slight increase to a
warriors survival against the poisonous gases
developed by Clan Skryre.
SPECIAL RULES
Save: If a model wears a gas mask, then he is only
affected by poison wind on a 5+ instead of a 4+.
upgraded warp-energy
condenscor
This allows the bearer to view the winds of magic
more easily and so the better controls them.
SPECIAL RULES
Energy condensation: A warrior with this item
gains +1 to his rolls to see whether he can cast spells
successfully or not.

supercharged chain-lightning
modulator
60 + 3D6 gold crowns
This improved generator enhances the strength of
Clan Skryre wizardry.
SPECIAL RULES
Power accumulation: With this device, the strength
of the chain lightning spell is raised to 4. It also
produces a crackling sphere of electricity around the
warrior, giving him a 5+ save against spells
(including his own!).
warpstone tokens
1 wyrdstone shard
Availability: Special, Clan Skryre only
To maintain a (sort of) sustainable source of power
for their weapons, the Warlock Engineers have a
developed a way of refining shards of wyrdstone
into tokens that can fuel their devices.
SPECIAL RULES
Warpstone boost: A skaven wizard can consume
one warpstone token before he casts a spell. He
gains +1 to his rolls to see if can cast spells
successfully that turn.
Warpstone refining: A warlock engineer or
apprentice engineer may elect to convert a
wyrdstone shard into d3 warp tokens before you sell
wyrdstone. He may not look for rare items if this is
done. This is the only way to produce warpstone
tokens.
Warp Fuel: Warpstone tokens are used in
warpstone pumps, see the entry under the weapon
you want to use a warpstone token in for the details.
Instability Chart
D6 Result
1 Ka-Boom! The warpstone pump has some major
malfunction, and explodes. All models within 3
take a strength 4 hit. The warpstone pump is
destroyed, remove it from your warbands
equipment
2 Burst pipe. A pipe carrying the boiling run-off of
liquid wyrdstone bursts and sprays a gout of flame
all over the warpstone pump carrier. He suffers a
strength 3 hit in the hand-to-hand combat phase for
the next D3 turns. Models in base to base suffer the
same fate and these hits are worked out before any
others in close combat.
3 Jammed. The pipes and gears of the warpstone
pump have been lightly damaged and does not
function. The warrior must spend his next shooting
phase repairing it.
4 Whoops!!! A blockage in the weapon causes a
cloud of green steam to surround the warrior. Its
shots are all fired at a single random target (friend
or foe!) within 12 by the half blinded and
disorientated skaven,
5 Aaargh! The weapon backfires, hitting the model
who is carrying it. The barrel of the weapon is also
clogged, rendering the weapon useless for the rest
of the game.
6 Overload. The weapon builds up excessive
pressure and destroys the barrel of the weapon,
remove it from your equipment. However it still
fires and the shot is extremely powerful. If using a
warpfire thrower, treat the shot as having a range
of 24, and a width of 3. If you are using the
ratling gun, you get an extra 3 shots at strength 4
(re-roll any 1s to hit).

Fraskitt, the Warlock Engineer, sniffed the air and adjusted the dial on his arcane helmet. Eshin Clan
close-close, hide, he snarled to his fellow rats. They ducked back into the open sewer and waited. A
small whimper issued from the back and some chains softly clinked. Fraskitt glared at Oskk, their mighty
Overseer, and Oskk new what that meant. He pushed his way through the skaven backed up in the tunnel
until he came to the slaves. His giant fist slammed into one of their snouts, and the slave fell to ground.
Quite! whispered Oskk through clenched teeth.
A slinking figure appeared in the shadows across from where the Clan Skryre warband was hiding.
Fraskitt motioned his Weapons Specialists forward and slipped a warpstone token into his mouth. A line
of black-garbed skaven skulked into the street. Friskitt muttered some words and twisted a dial on the
device attached to his halberd. One of the Clan Eshin skaven turned towards the sewer, perhaps picking
up on the strange sounds with his sensitive ears. If he did notice something, it was the last thing he ever
heard. A bolt of blue electricity arced from Friskitts warp blades and slammed through the assassins
body, leaving him smoking on the ground. The electricity jumped to the stunned skaven next to the
charred body, jolting him into the air. Knives shredded the air around the sewer but found only the thick
wood of the pavise, which almost took up the entire entry. A massive boom then shook the ground as the
Jezzail fired. The shot smashed a gaping hole into the building behind the frantic skaven of Clan Eshin.
The Weapons Specialist then began the struggle of reloading the archaic weapon.
A massive figure lurched forward from the ambushed skaven and leaped towards the sewer that still
concealed the Clan Skryre warband. Its roar resulted in the musk of fear spreading amongst Friskitts
robes. Oskk! Charge the slaves quick-quick! All else ready poison-wind globes.

slaves they watch over.

Slave Driver: An Overseer strikes fear into his

Slave Master: Though he works them to their

best interest to keep them alive. Skaven Slaves
ignore the Easy come, easy go rule if the Overseer
wasnt taken Out of Action in the battle.
0-3 Apprentice warlocks
Apprentice Warlocks are the young students of Clan
Skryre. Recently initiated into the secrets of the
clan, they make up for their lack of knowledge with
their ambition and energy.

may only choose from the Clan
Skryre Heroes Equipment list
for his weapons and
armour. He gladly
gives up his
dangerous job
and his
insane
weapons go
into the
warbands
stash.
Skaven slaves
Skaven Slaves are often pushed ahead of Clan
Skryre warbands as a screen against missile fire or
to test the strength of the enemy. Warlock Engineers
send them to be butchered without hesitation, and
other Skaven do not care about their fate at all.
5 2 2 3 3 1 4 1 2
Weapons/armour: Slaves are armed with various
scavenged weapons. They count as being armed
with a single dagger.
SPECIAL RULES
Life is cheap: Slaves are worthless to the Warlock
Engineers. Members of a Clan Skryre warband may
shoot into a close combat that only contains enemies
and Skaven Slaves. Randomise hits.
Easy come, easy go: Skaven Slaves are often used
as living experiments and their lifespans are
mercifully short. After rolling for Injuries, roll a d6
and remove that amount of slaves from your
warband. They havent survived their ordeal in
Mordheim.
Numerous: Skaven Slaves may be used to increase
the Clan Skryres warband numbers up to 20.
Experience: Skaven Slaves dont survive long
enough to gain experience.
Worthless: A Warlock Engineer doesnt expect
much from slaves, and is therefore not unsettled if
Skaven Slaves break or get cut down in battle. In
fact, thats what theyre there for! When testing to
see if a Clan Skryre warband needs to take a Rout
test, each Skaven Slave taken out of action only
counts as half a model. Therefore, a band of 5
Skaven and 10 Skaven Slaves (15 models) would
only have to take a test if 4 models fell (4 Skaven or
8 Skaven Slaves, or some combination thereof ).

Clan Skryre Magic
Chain Lightning Difficulty 7
Lightening arcs from the complex devices attached to the
warlocks weapon and into his enemies.
The spell has a range of 24 and has a strength of 3. Roll to
hit a target using the warlocks ballistic skill. If the spell
hits, then on a 5+ it arcs to the next closest model within
6. The spell will continue to arc to the next model within
range until you either run out of targets or you roll under 5.
If a 1 is rolled to see if the spell arcs, then the warlock
suffers a hit at the strength of the spell as his warp blades
overload! The spell may also be used if the warlock is in
close combat. If this option is chosen, then it automatically
hits the warlock, as well as everyone else in base-to-base
contact.
