THE SHORT VERSION

A Ghur campaign gives this Kastelai vampire an earthy setting, while red cloth links him to the army’s Blood Knights. Pale upper flesh stands out against the dark lower body, and the accompanying recipes explain layered black skin, red fabric and shaded silver.

Skragrott sends his followers against the skaven strongholds beneath Ayadah as Brasswhisker’s experiments damage the region’s magical foundations. The grots plan to replace dangerous warpstone contamination with their own fungal influence, and a doomed scout’s glimpse of a monstrous weapon shows what is at stake in the impending underground war.

War in the Minewarrens

A short branching campaign pits Gloomspite invaders against skaven forces secretly divided among three locations.
