In this episode of The Square Based Show, Rob and Val dive into the highly anticipated Renegade 2.0 update for the Skaven! Designed to fix the bland legacy rules that left the faction feeling gutted, this update breathes life back into the army by restoring the chaotic, friendly-fire-heavy, and beautifully unreliable mechanics that make playing the vile rat-men so iconic.
Val breaks down the design philosophy behind bringing back mechanics from previous editions, including the return of the Skaven misfire table, shooting into combat with "Expendable" units, and the infamous Doom Rocket.
Do not ask for whom the Screaming Bell tolls, it tolls for thee. Yes-yes.
