Leaders
- Grey Seer: The Grey Seer is probably one of the most nerfed Skaven units. In WHFB he was a level 4 wizard, now he only casts and dispels one spell. And he doesn't know the Thirteenth Spell anymore. This means that you have to use it as a generic spellcaster, and to be honest he's quite good at that. You won't use his spell very often, because it works well only against big infantry units, but you can always use Arcane Bolt. However, his best ability is probably the Warpstone Token; when you cast a spell, you can use a token ( you have infinite, by the way ) and if you do so you must roll a dice: if the result is a one, he takes a mortal wound, but with a 2+ you can reroll the casting if it fails. Pretty good, huh? He also has a command ability that can save your rats from fleeing on a 4+. For what it costs ( 120 pts ) the Grey Seer is pretty good, and it's not bad idea to use him in almost every Skaven list.
- Screaming Bell: Take a Grey Seer and put him on a GIANT BELL OF DOOM, and you have the Screaming Bell. The first thing to know about the Bell is that it can't move on its own, aside from 4", but it can be pushed by other SKAVEN models, gaining 1" for every 3 models within 1" of the Bell. This obviously means that it should stay close to the Skaven Infantry, like in 8th edition. The most important ability of the Bell however it's, of course, the bell! It peals in your Hero Phase, and to do so you have to roll two dices and see what effect the peal has. You only hurt yourself on a roll of 2, and that's only 1 mortal wound. The other effects are mixed, you can buff your army, damage the opponent's army or simply SUMMON A FUCKING VERMINLORD. Oh, and did I mention that even if your bell takes damage the effect of the peals doesn't change? Yeah. The only thing that decreases is the range of the buffs and debuffs, as well as the melee statistics, but that shouldn't bother you. The Seer on top of the Bell knows a different spell from the dismounted one, this time it damages units with low Move. Unfortunately, the Seer loses the Warpstone Tokens. The Bell also can mess with non-CHAOS WIZARDS and has a pretty good Command Ability that helps your Skaven with their Bravery. The only downside is that it costs 140 points more that a vanilla Seer, but I'm sure it will repay its price.

None, for now.
Army Building
This faction is obviously not intended to work by itself. Simply put your Grey Seers or Verminlords in a SKAVEN or CHAOS army and enjoy their magical shit.
