These units can be summoned anywhere, even right in front of or behind enemy troops. Ranged units don't stand a chance against the rat ogres, as long as you can get them there safely.Īnother unique option the Skaven have in battle is summoning groups of units from their subterranean lairs. You'll be instructed to send your rat ogres into a nearby forest, sneaking them up on an unsuspecting ranged unit of high elves. The game also uses the rat ogres as an opportunity to teach cover mechanics. These hulking brutes pack a serious punch at close range, throwing foes around like rag dolls. Later in the fight, a group of rat ogres (who are a major threat in Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide) arrive and join your army as well. You'll also begin with ranged units who use slings to toss projectiles. The lower cost types fight with shields and swords or spears. The Skaven army consists of multiple varieties of deadly ratmen. After a cinematic in which your rat lord can barely wait to crush his opponents, the melee begins. The starting clash involves four regiments of units on each side, but your army will grow exponentially as you requisition new units between turns.
Moving your lord across the map towards the enemy commander, you'll soon get your first taste of battle.
Your Skaven warlord starts out owning a single settlement on the sequel's new continent and the pesky high elves close at hand.
