Jeremy Vetock turns Skaven society into scenario material: treacherous alliances, coveted warpstone, experimental monsters, diseases, sabotage and underground conquest. Each premise suggests objectives, unusual army restrictions or special rules rather than merely changing the enemy’s name in a pitched battle. Twelve actual ideas are supplied; the thirteenth position is deliberately reserved for the Great Horned Rat, and the closing discussion invites players to develop further campaigns of their own.

Two rival Warlords first choose their own characters and Core troops, then secretly bid remaining points for a shared pool of Greater Clan specialists. Winning a bid secures that unit but may leave another desirable formation to the opponent, making bluffing part of army selection. A games master can extend the scheme with concealed traps, sabotaged weapons or turncoats, turning an internal Skaven feud into a negotiation before the fighting begins.

A Clan Moulder coalition receives unpredictable reinforcements from its breeding pits each turn. A collection-based random chart can release ordinary Giant Rats or Rat Ogres, a Hell Pit Abomination or an unstable one-off creation that may not obey its supposed masters. The idea encourages grotesque conversions and treats the clan’s proximity to the Chaos Wastes as a reason for monsters far beyond its usual commercial stock.
