• Scurry Away!: lore

Any SKAVENTIDE units with this ability that have fallen back can still shoot or manifest psychic powers this turn.

• Poisoned Weapons: '

Many SKAVENTIDE weapons have the Poisoned Weapon ability. Such a weapon will have an ability that reads ‘Poisoned Weapon’ and then a value, such as (4+) or (2+).

Melee Weapons

• Skaventide Infantry Weapons: The forces of the Skaventide are numerous. As a consequence, many of their infantry's weapons are old, worn down weapons scavenged from past battles, or rudimentary creations that fall apart at the wrong touch. Regardless of this, they still pose a great threat to any enemies they face from sheer numbers alone, if nothing else.
