Made To Order Classic Skaven Coming This Weekend
February 26, 2019 by brennon
Some classic Skaven Characters are coming back to the tabletop thanks to Games Workshop and their Made To Order range. For example, you might want to lead your new force with Queek Headtaker.
These classic figures give you a taste of the different clans that you'll be able to bring to the tabletop for the Skaven. They might be very old school by now but I still love these figures, a great and characterful force to play as in Warhammer Fantasy Battles and of course, Age Of Sigmar should you wish.
The long-time nemesis of Gotrek & Felix is also coming back with this classic sculpt for Thanquol & Boneripper popping up too.
It would be pretty awesome to go back to the tabletop, picking up one of those new takes of Gotrek & Felix, and playing out a few narrative scenarios with the pair. I can't even remember how many times Gotrek has torn Boneripper apart with his axe at this point.
I also had to add Deathmaster Snikch into the mix too. He is a deadly assassin from the old clan Eshin and a brutal hunter of characters and war machine crews across the Old World.
Whilst the aesthetic here isn't going to work alongside some of the new Skaven miniatures I think that they might be a good pick for those looking to embrace classic figures for skirmish games.
A few more options will be made available over the coming week alongside a PDF showing you how to use these in your games.
Will you be picking up some classic Skaven?

Nice to see those models back.
Technically, hasn’t Gotrek only torn Boneripper apart once? Iirc every time he does it it’s a different Boneripper. 😉
Btw, anyone else prefer this Boneripper to the newer, plastic one?
Nice figure’s renewed, Wasn’t Squeek Thanquol’s minion or was that a different skaven ?
No he was but boneripper mark I,II,III.IV and? V was his rat ogre bodyguard
Still have that deathmaster model which a mate of mine at school painted in the early 90’s before he got a job on the eavy metal team
These Made To Order retro figs are great.
I just wish they’d bring ’em back more than once because sometimes I can’t afford to get them all at once and they disappear so fast.
Give us another shot at Morathi on Dark Pegasus and the Diaz Slaanesh Daemonettes sometime please!
Nostalgia aside, these are still some of their best figures.
