Before I destroy them with some warpstone OSL effect

Basecoat and strong tone so far

There are stats for Skaven in one of the White Dwarf quests, probably The Halls of Durrag-Dol. Personally I would just add 1 defence die for Skaven with shields.

I allow archers to make ranged attacks and normal attacks with their normal combat die but the NA expansions set a precedent for only allowing archers to roll one combat die when they are attacking an adjacent Hero (Elven Archers, Crossbowman). Strangely this seems to contradict a line I think was added to the NA rule book:

NA Rulebook wrote:A monster's attack strength is based on it's natural abilities and does not depend on a weapon.

Edit - looks like slev beat me to it. Those Skaven stats look the same as the ones I mentioned. The ranged attack is a sling isn't it?

Nominally, but Skaven often have other ranged weapons too!

They only have a dagger, perhaps(besides their ranged weapon)

Thanks, both.

Give ranged monsters cross bows. Preferably the Goblins. And give them somewhere to run to and around. Keep the heroes busy defending against low body point monsters at range they will have a hard time dealing with it. makes the mage and elf use up valuable spells early in the dungeon.
