Hello fellow rats,

I've asked for ways how to make GW 'see' us. And I've asked your cooperation in this. Well, I thought I'd give the example, and made the Deathmaster journal to spread the truth about our hard fought battles out there in the Storm of Skaven..errr Chaos ;)

I did my part (and I will continue to do so)..but now it's your turn to help me fill this journal with your battles & stories. Take some time to write a neat little story about a battle you fought. Take the time to search the net to fill this journal, please. (and yes.. with you(r ), I do mean YOU!)

Enjoy,
DM Mik

Edit: the page isn't done yet.. but it's a start

Hmmm... The fluff on the Uk site seems to be slightly different from the fluff on the US site. This may be an indicator that the fluff is not pre-generated, and a healthy "bribe" to the right people may be successful...

Now if I only had any idea who the "right people" were, I'd be set. :D
Go forth my brethren, that we shall nibble at the roots of the old world!

We are the rats in the shadows. We hold the blades of corruption, aimed at the very heart of the Old World. We are The Council of Thirteen.

Second place in the UnderEmpire painting competition!

I posted it on the GW forums aswell but you can have this if you want :)

Styrkaar Shocked by Sly Skaven

13 of Styrkaars 'favourite' captives have been brutally murdered by an unseen assailent. Rumours are growing that the people at Games Workshop HQ have angered the skaven and that one of the infamous 13 Senshi watching them...
What is even more wierd is the writing in the captives blood on the floor 'We shall inherit'

Love the page Mik... really nice done!

Day 14... the neglecting of Skaven has caused in a massive revolt in Skavenblight. Clan Skryre has willingly put their efforts in a giant machine to simply take out towns with a single blast. First target will be the "propaganda"-agency of the Empire, called GW HQ in the small town of Nottingham.

:P

*snicker* these are both funny stories, but I was thinking something a little more 'serious'. Could you both write an entertaining 10 to 20 sentences of text referring to the battle at Zundap in the early days?

I'll put your names under it offcourse. This page (and more to come) are supposed to be a 'group effort' (how skaven-esk!).. so start typing those little stories!
Let's try to out-do Gav's writing skills

:lol: darn... why not? Please, oh please let us pick on GW HQ...

Okay then... serious story:

Lord Vinshqueek overlooked the battlefield... the Steam Mill was more a burned-out wreckage than usefull. Those Beast of Chaos rampaged through it while it was the will of the Council to keep it! The SkavenAde was of utmost importance and now they would have to repair it all...

Sorry... couldn't let this one go... another try:

Through the haze of the fog, the last man-things were running... the skaven of clan Vinshqueek were victorious over some of the last defences of Zundap. Although taken severe losses, an allied force of the Council came in and won the day. Clan Eshin allies would soon come back with survivors and the ranks of the slaves would be filled again...

:D better?

Much-much!
Thanks.

About the Skavenade.. I think it's a fun thing fluff-wise.. so might be fun to keep it in the story-line :)

I just don't want to be picking on GW the whole time. We -do- need them if we want to be recognized. Don't want to tick them of (too much that is :D)

thank you, oh great deathmaster...
well, the SkavenAde could be for the forum itself (although it seems to have reached the SoC boards as well ;) ). I don't mind writing short stories, I will link to my battle report as well if it is a help.

My personal favorite at the moment although is VF's interviewer mr. Hurst, could this be with several warlords for the deathmaster journal?
:D

imperial point of view


Day 1 ….. the beginning of the fury horde
Zundap is being attacked by some sort of Rat men rumours are spreading among the troops that maybe count Mandred the so called skaven slayer was right and he wasn’t mad after all .
It also seems that the giant Rat men are very intelligent they came with giant war machines and shot the hell out out of the only thing in this village that was not hit was the steam mill …
Maybe they did that on purpose we will not now

Day 2
it seems that count mandred wasn’t mad …the rumours are true they do exist but now it already seems that we are lost the villages is surrounded by these things ……
one of the captains has bin killed in his coaters . ant also the well in the village has bin poisoned

day 3 they attacked us by dawn small groups of 5 dressed in black robes and knifes attached to there hands attacked some of the guards at the steam mill…..but they where kilt quick enough it seems these Rat men want some thing from the steam mill ….

Day 4 these time the attack was much bigger giant groups of what looked like slave’s where guided to the village we managed to shot them down with our gunners … and some of those tings where running back to the front ranks of there giant army but then they started to shot back these small but very affective weapons tore a regiment of my halberdiers to shreds
My sigmar and ulric protect these village


////////////////
day 13 !!!
my lord if you read this letter than my son survived but I am death.. these things they are the skaven thousands of them my lord .count mandred was right they do exist I am very sorry about zundap but at dawn they attacked us with every thing they had the attacks before were just to test our defence’s whey where slaughtered by these things . my son escaped with this letter I hope he will reach you in time

Before the Storm began

The reknown Senshi Urk Stelfclaw shivered violently. these lands were cold, too cold. Why had the almighty council sent him to such a place, a target? He pondered. He would much rather be back in Araby assassinating merchants or those who questioned the council. What had made the whole occasion worse was the fact that he would have to take orders - he shivered, this time at the thought - the deathmaster was present! He grumbled quietly.
He supped from the green warpstone bottle which had been handed to him by his superior. The hot liquid trickled done his throat, making the hairs on his spine tingle with a static sensation.
"For the Horned Rat," it cackled madly
