This article is based on a discussion between the above mentioned persons on the Direwolf mailing list on what a Skaven Castle should look like and how the Skaven would defend it. The first part of this article was published in Total Power 4 and I was encouraged to write up the rules to use in a Siege game. I have received a lot of useful and helpful comments from players all around the world. I would especially like to thank the members of the Direwolf and The Council mailinglists for their invaluable comments.

A Skaven Castle features Warpfire throwers in the towers, Jezzails lining the walls, warpfire liquid run through gutters as in Hunchback of Notre Dame, poison wind globes dropped through murder holes and tossed over walls. Rat Ogres bursting from secret tunnels to wreak havoc and assassins sneaking forth in the dead of night. Metal and stone pipes are connecting different parts of the fortress, ramshackle wathtowers instead of firm stone towers and ladders leading to higher levels.
