From somewhere else on the board:
Hurst: who are you and what is your role in this campaign? mr. Vinshqueek: yes-yes, I am mighty warlord and make sure the SkavenAde is supplied throughout campaign-pain Hurst: SkavenAde... I've heard that name before, what is it? mr. Vinshqueek: you don't know-know SkavenAde is? GUARDS! *at this moment some very angry looking rat-a-like ogres step in* mr. Vinshqueek: you were saying? Hurst: ah yes, SkavenAde... okay, that healthy nice drink mr. Vinshqueek: good-good man-thing do I hear a column? (if VF is okay with it, it's his invention) Greetz |

Great stuff, Arqueek! Perhaps you should make the imperials a bit slower to realise we're Skaven, though. For example: (Shamelessly copying your tale:) "Day 1: The Beastmen Hordes are emerging from the forest to assail our fair town again. I have readied the militia, we will stem this tide like all the attacks of Chaos that have come before. The troops are nervous, though. They claim something is not right, they report sightings of strange Rat-like creatures. A new kind of Chaos mutant? I do not know what to make of it. Black shapes have been seen behind our lines. These Beastmen are sure to be planning one of their ambushes." "Day 2: Something is definitely wrong. There was an ambush all right, they came in the dead of night with cloak and dagger. But it wasn't the harshly braying beast I fought in my youth. These were smaller, faster, deadlier. They had tails and snouts unlike any Beast I ever heard of. There were but a handful, and they carried strange devices. The men are falling sick. Bertold says they may have poisoned the wells. This is not the way of the Beast. It reminds me of something... something I was told of years ago. Could it be the legends of Manfred the Skavenslayer are true after all?" Anyway, something like this. Not to say your tale wasn't good, I loved it. I just think a slower build-up to the revelation of the Skaven would work better. But if I comment on other's tales, I'd better write one of my own too. ________________________________________________________________________________________ As he reached the top of the hill, Skaskrit bared his teeth in a savage snarl. The sun was setting behind the middle mountains, but the old Skaven warlord could easily make out the tents and picket lines spread out amongst the ruins of the man-town. Zundap, it was called, but to Skaskrit it was the symbol of all he hated about the Surface World. For over a week the Clans had been fighting over this misbegotten excuse for a town. Not a single house down there had four walls standing. He could still make out the blackened spot where Warpfire had hit the human powder stores, killing man and Skaven by the hundreds in the resulting explosion. He could almost see the wreckage that marked where the tunnel had emerged, before the humans had destroyed it. The town should have fallen then, when Rikkit had led his Stormvermin through that tunnel to attack the humans from behind. The town should have fallen half a dozen times already. But it hadn't. Skaskrit could not understand what drove the humans. Their home was destroyed, three quarters of their number lay dead amongst the uncountable Skaven corpses that littered the no-mans land in front of the town. The humans had been attacked by the worst magical horrors the Seers and Warlocks could create, they had suffered weeks of attacks that continued day and night, and still they held fast to their miserable ruins. Was their home land truly more important to them than their lives? Did they not see that if they fled they could come back another day for vengeance? With effort, the warlord let go of the sword hilt he had been gripping so tightly that it hurt. The manlings were crazy, and that was the whole of it. Alerted by the sound of a soft footfall and the faint smell of Skaven musk, Skaskrit turned around. Grey Seer Raspul was emerging from the shadows. With an effort, he refrained from snarling at the Seer. It was bad luck to offend the Seers of the Horned Rat. Especially when half his army feared the Grey One more than they did him, and would turn against the Warlord on a single word from the Sorcerer. "It is time." The Seer spoke without even looking at the warlord, examining mantown below the hill instead. The arrogance. One day Skasrit would... one day... But for now, Skaskrit nodded, and signalled to the Clanrat standing to his left. The smaller Skaven began ringing his chime frantically. Soon, the Skaskrit heard other chimes taking up the call. There was movement visible under the trees where the Skaven had been sheltering from the cruel glare of the sun. It was almost fully dark now, and the attack would commence once more. Perhaps this time the man-things would break. Perhaps tonight they would be too tired to resist the Skaven any longer. Skaskrit scrambled down the hill and joined the ragged line of Clanrats emerging from beneath the trees. To his right, he could make out warlord Arqueek's forces. Far left, the Grey Seer took up position. There were many clans assembled here tonight. This time, they would be victorious. Skaskrit drew his rusted sword and waved it over his head. "Attack attack! Kill the Man-things, burn burn the man-houses! We are the children of the Horned Rat, and tonight we shall inherit!" _____________________________________________________________________________________ That was rather long. Well, I hope it's of any use to you, Mik! At least, I enjoyed writing it. |

They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?" Richard Dawkins, The Ancestor's Tale | |

Great.. nice to see many helping hands. I'll probably combine most of the story's ..and try to mold it into one. Right now, I'm considering making 2 similar pages; one opponents pov (point of view)..one skaven pov Then there's the page with the Skaven War-room map. Mad ratter is working on that..if you got feedback.. help him out. I also want to make a battle-report page with the same lay-out as the journal/official site so everyone can write their reports and have them posted there. I saw Vince working on interviews.. looked neat.. Could make a page for that too, but it's on the bottom of my 'to do' list right now. Cheers, DM Mik |

Well the Skaven did make it into the Loremasters Journal. Grey Seer Skoll.*lifted from the loremaster journal Chaos Warriors, bolstered by Beastmen from the Middle Mountains, marched at speed along the pass from Ferlangen to the Nordbergbruche. The glimmering sides of the Nordberg stretched above them in silent witness. The scattered hunters and Imperial troops gathered quickly to repulse the attack but succeeded only in slowing it for a few hours. In particular, the defenders of the Empire found themselves outflanked and waylaid by a force of Skaven. This same force had been pivotal in the fall of Ferlangen and is led by a Grey Seer named Skoll. With all of these forces arrayed against the defenders, it looked as if the Nordbergbruche might fall quickly. That was until a contingent of Dwarfs, gathered from the small mines and holds of the Middle Mountains, gathered at the bridge itself, no doubt with much muttering about shoddy Elven workmanship as they crossed. These allies have helped stem the initial Chaos advance. Well this is a start. It would seem we where suppose to be at Ferngully and then onto the bridge of Nosebags. |

Okay let us organize here. Write up a story line from the different generals here and an overview from the Co13. Then that as a whole is then submitted to GW for print in the black gobbo or the white dwarf. They of course do not promise that it will be printed but it might be. As long as the story is well made then it has a good chance.

It was night in Castle Lenkster. The defenders, humans mainly were on patrol, watching out for the Chaos Forces who rested just out of view. If any of the humans had been paying a bit more attention, they might see that cloaked figure rushing past them, the step of his foot prints unheard. He would wait in the shadows, a guardsmen looking right at him, though not seeing him and walking away…Jitter-Kill gave a slight smile, before proceeding up the stair case, not taking out that dangerous glowing blade yet…he soon reached a building, frowning slight upon seeing the two guards in front and the locked door…two throwing stars would fly from his hand, catching both the guards in the throat. He would grin, dragging the corpses into the shadows, searching their bodies for a key… The four guards inside the building never noticed the door opening or shutting. Even with the brightly lit torches, they never saw that clocked figure run past them and into the upper rooms… Four officers of Castle Lenksters defending force were found dead in the morning. The only clue to the murderer was the words, writing in blood over the walls: WE SHALL INHERIT!” This any good? |
