I bought this set for my husband who plays Warhammer, and he absolutely loves them! The texture is unique because the surface isn't perfectly smooth like a standard D6. The raised details make them look more like a faction-specific "artifact" rather than just ordinary gaming dice. The green symbols are easy to read during gameplay, and the included metal tin makes storage a breeze. Definitely a fantastic gift for any Skaven player!

Perfect dice for my T’au Empire army
These dice are exactly what my T’au Empire army needed! The transparent style looks stunning under the lights, and the T’au symbol is crisp and bold, making it easy to spot during games. I use them every week for my Warhammer 40K matches, and they add a unique flair to my tabletop battles. Top-notch quality and a beautiful design.

Perfect Dice for My Skaven Army!
These dice look absolutely amazing on the battlefield! The black color with the bright green markings perfectly matches my Skaven army. I really love the uneven raised edges — they don’t feel like regular flat dice and give them a handmade, chaotic Skaven vibe. The engraved symbol on the 6 side is such a cool detail.

It's a shame the symbol of Dotosy® could not be in color but these people worked really hard to try to make it happen and in the end the detail and sharpness of the image came through brilliantly. I'm truly satisfied thank you Bear Dice :)

Amazing service, hear me out!
The dice are amazing and the box is really nice and secure as well. The delivery was pretty fast. Would be cool to see more bear pattern on this set. Like bear paw, they claw or fungs. 10/10 ilike them!
I bought this bullet dice set just for the coolness, and it didn't disappoint me. The whole set of dice is made of metal, and it feels heavy in my hand, which gives me a very high-end feeling, especially when the magazine is rotated, the sound is crisp and the feel is excellent. The dice are in the shape of bullets, and the action when throwing them is also very cool. It is really suitable to use this set when playing DND. The whole person is in the role state haha. Although the price is not low, it is completely worth it. Every detail is done very well, the font is clear, the rolling is stable, there is no quality short board, and it also comes with a black dice box. I will repurchase it in the future, and I want to buy another set as a backup or give it to friends.
Unique dnd revolver dice set: 7 cool metal dnd bullet dice in the rotating revolver cylindrical magazine

A little expensive but durable, full of details
It has been two weeks since I received the goods, and I am commenting after using it a few times. The overall material is really solid, the metal luster is great, not the kind of cheap paint, you can see that the workmanship has been thoughtful.
Each side of it can be used as a different dice (D4 to D20). I was a little uncomfortable when I used it for the first time, but I got the hang of it quickly. It is small but fully functional. It is enough to bring one when you go out, so you don’t have to bring a whole set.
And the most important thing is: what others take out is a bunch of ordinary dice, while what you take out is a "magic device". Those who understand will understand haha ~ The cost-effectiveness cannot be said to be super high, but it is worth the experience.

Cool shape + excellent experience, a board game weapon!
I am very satisfied with this revolver dice set! Whether it is design, workmanship or practicality, it exceeds my expectations. The rotation of the magazine is very smooth, and every time the dice are drawn out, there is a special sense of ritual. The special bullet dice shape, but the effect of throwing is better than I expected, very stable. The handwriting is clear and suitable for quick reading.
The customer service is also very patient. I originally wanted to choose another color, but changed my mind after placing the order. The customer service helped me change it without saying anything. The whole shopping experience is very smooth and worth recommending!

Good workmanship, no sharp burrs
I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the things I use must be detailed. All the edges and corners of this dice are not very round, but the metal edges of the 6-sided dice are not sharp. The workmanship is really exquisite, and even the sound of the small bearing inside is very light, which shows that the material structure is still very fine.

If you've recently discovered the world of Warhammer and stumbled across the rat-like creatures known as the Skaven, you're not alone. As one of the most unique and lore-rich factions in the Warhammer universe, Warhammer 40K Skaven have captured the imagination of players worldwide — from veteran generals to complete beginners picking up their first miniature.
Whether you're drawn to their chaotic energy, their bizarre technology, or their sheer unpredictability on the battlefield, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Skaven in the Warhammer universe — written specifically for new players who are just getting started.
And if you're already thinking about building your Skaven collection, don't miss our Warhammer 40K Skaven dice — faction-accurate D6 dice designed to match your Skaven army on the tabletop.
What Are the Skaven? A Beginner's Introduction
The Skaven are a race of intelligent, bipedal rat-men who lurk beneath the surface of the world in vast underground cities called the Under-Empire. They are one of the oldest and most dangerous civilizations in the Warhammer lore — despite appearing chaotic and disorganized on the surface, they are a highly structured society driven by paranoia, ambition, and an insatiable hunger for power.
For new players, the Skaven are a fascinating faction because they break almost every rule you'd expect from a "normal" army. They are cowardly yet numerous, technologically brilliant yet dangerously unstable, and politically fractured yet capable of overwhelming force when united under a common threat.
Their society is divided into four major Clans, each specializing in a different form of warfare:
Clan Skryre — the engineers and weapon-makers, masters of warp-powered technology
Clan Pestilens — plague monks devoted to disease and biological warfare
Clan Eshin — assassins and spies who operate in shadow
Clan Moulder — beast-shapers who breed monstrous war creatures
Did Skaven Exist in 40K?
This is one of the most common questions new players ask — and the answer is nuanced.
The Skaven originated in Warhammer Fantasy Battles (now known as Warhammer: The Old World) and later became a major faction in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, where they are called the Skaven or Clans Pestilens / Skryre depending on the subfaction.
In Warhammer 40,000 (40K), the Skaven do not officially exist as a playable faction. The 40K universe is a separate setting — set 38,000 years in the future — with its own distinct races including Space Marines, Tyranids, Necrons, and Chaos forces.
However, there are several important connections worth knowing:
The Hrud — a mysterious alien species in 40K lore — are widely believed by fans and some lore scholars to be the 40K equivalent of the Skaven, sharing similar characteristics of underground dwelling, warp-sensitivity, and entropy-based abilities.
With the release of Warhammer: The Old World and the ongoing expansion of the Warhammer multiverse, many players now run Skaven armies across multiple game systems.
Games Workshop has hinted at cross-universe lore connections, and the Skaven's relationship with the Warp mirrors the Chaos corruption seen throughout 40K.
For new players: if you love the Skaven aesthetic and want to play in the 40K setting, the closest equivalent is exploring Chaos factions — particularly those aligned with Nurgle (plague and decay) or Tzeentch (change and scheming), which share thematic DNA with Skaven Clans Pestilens and Skryre respectively.
Are Skaven Good or Evil?
Short answer: unambiguously evil — but in the most entertaining way possible.
The Skaven are not a morally grey faction. They worship the Horned Rat, a Chaos god of ruin, pestilence, and gnawing destruction. Their entire civilization is built on betrayal, backstabbing, and the ruthless elimination of rivals. Even within their own clans, Skaven constantly scheme against each other — a Skaven who doesn't watch his back will quickly find a blade in it.
For new players, this makes Skaven one of the most fun factions to play narratively. Their evil isn't the brooding, dramatic kind — it's chaotic, comedic, and deeply unpredictable. A Skaven warlord might sacrifice an entire regiment of his own troops just to gain a slight tactical advantage, then blame the resulting disaster on a subordinate.
Key traits that define Skaven morality:
Cowardice as survival strategy — Skaven are not brave. They run when losing, push weaker units forward as shields, and only fight when they have overwhelming numbers.
Ambition without loyalty — every Skaven wants to be the supreme ruler of the Under-Empire. Alliances last only as long as they're useful.
Worship of destruction — the Horned Rat demands ruin, and the Skaven deliver it enthusiastically.
How Are Skaven So Advanced?
This is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the Skaven for new players: how can a civilization of paranoid, backstabbing rat-men produce some of the most terrifying weapons in the Warhammer universe?
The answer lies in Warpstone.
Warpstone is a crystallized form of pure Chaos energy — essentially solidified magic. The Skaven have built their entire technological civilization around harvesting, refining, and weaponizing Warpstone. It powers their engines, fuels their weapons, and mutates their bodies. It is simultaneously their greatest resource and their greatest curse, as prolonged exposure to Warpstone causes madness, mutation, and death.
Here's why Skaven technology is so terrifyingly advanced:
Warp-Lightning Cannons — artillery that fires bolts of pure Chaos energy capable of vaporizing entire units
Doomwheels — giant hamster-wheel war machines powered by enslaved Skaven and Warpstone generators
Plague Catapults — biological weapons that spread engineered diseases across battlefields
Warp-Grinders — tunnel-boring machines that allow Skaven armies to appear anywhere on the battlefield
The key insight for new players: Skaven technology works despite the Skaven, not because of them. Their weapons are brilliant in concept but catastrophically unstable in practice. This unpredictability is baked into their game mechanics — and it makes playing Skaven one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking) experiences in tabletop gaming.
Playing Skaven: Tips for New Players
Embrace the numbers game. Skaven win through overwhelming quantity. Don't be afraid to field large units of cheap Clanrats — they're expendable and that's the point.
Use your technology wisely. Warp-powered weapons are powerful but unreliable. Position them carefully and always have a backup plan for when they malfunction.
Master the art of the ambush. Clan Eshin units and tunnel-based deployment rules let you appear where the enemy least expects. Use this to disrupt backlines and capture objectives.
Don't neglect your heroes. Skaven heroes — Grey Seers, Warlords, and Plague Priests — provide crucial buffs and abilities that make your horde function as a cohesive force.

Frequently Asked Questions About Warhammer 40K Skaven
▶ Did Skaven exist in Warhammer 40K?
The Skaven are not an official playable faction in Warhammer 40,000. They originate from Warhammer Fantasy / The Old World and Age of Sigmar. However, the Hrud — a mysterious alien species in 40K lore — are widely considered the spiritual equivalent of the Skaven in the 41st Millennium, sharing similar underground-dwelling and warp-sensitive characteristics.
▶ Are Skaven good or evil in Warhammer?
The Skaven are unambiguously evil. They worship the Horned Rat, a Chaos god of ruin and pestilence, and their entire civilization is built on betrayal, cowardice, and destruction. However, their brand of evil is chaotic and darkly comedic — making them one of the most entertaining factions to play and collect.
▶ How are Skaven so technologically advanced?
Skaven technology is powered by Warpstone — crystallized Chaos energy that acts as a fuel source for their weapons and machines. While their technology is brilliantly destructive in concept, it is notoriously unstable and just as likely to harm the Skaven themselves as their enemies. This unpredictability is a core part of what makes Skaven gameplay so exciting.
▶ What game system should I use to play Skaven?
Skaven are playable in Warhammer Age of Sigmar (as a major faction) and Warhammer: The Old World (as Skaven in the classic Warhammer Fantasy setting). They are not currently a playable faction in Warhammer 40,000, though fans often use Skaven miniatures for narrative 40K games with proxy rules.
▶ What dice should I use for my Skaven army?
For the most immersive Skaven tabletop experience, we recommend using faction-themed dice that match your army's aesthetic. Our Warhammer 40K Skaven dice are designed specifically for Skaven players, featuring faction-accurate iconography on standard 16mm D6 dice — perfect for Age of Sigmar, The Old World, and narrative 40K games.
Final Thoughts: Should You Start a Skaven Army?
If you're a new player looking for a faction that is unique, lore-rich, visually striking, and genuinely fun to play — the Skaven are an excellent choice. They reward creative thinking, aggressive play, and a willingness to embrace chaos (literally).
Their combination of overwhelming numbers, unstable but devastating technology, and deep narrative lore makes them one of the most rewarding armies to build and play in the entire Warhammer universe.

In tabletop role-playing games, especially the classic Dungeons & Dragons, the standard D20 system is central to the adventure. This system relies on seven types of dice to perform various game actions, including d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, and d20. In addition to DND dice sets made of metal, resin, silicone, gemstones, and acrylic, we also offer a variety of unique DnD dice, selling single dice such as D100, D6, D10, and D20 to meet different needs. Furthermore, we offer customized dice sets , which can be engraved or printed with logos, text, symbols, etc.
D2 dice
The D2 dice is a two-sided die used to simulate outcomes with a 50% probability each—much like flipping a coin. With every roll of a D2, the result is either a 1 or a 2, making it an ideal tool for making simple binary decisions in games, role-playing scenarios, or probability-based mechanics. In tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs), D2 dice are frequently used to determine "yes/no" outcomes, resolve "success/failure" checks, or handle branching choices involving a very limited range of possibilities.
4 sided dice resembles a regular tetrahedron, with each face being an equilateral triangle. Rolling a D4 die yields a random result from 1 to 4. In games, D4 is often used for determining values within a small range.
D6 dice
The 6 sided dice is the most common standard die. Rolling a D6 die will randomly yield a number from 1 to 6. D6 is often used for normal attack damage, spell effects, skill judgment, etc., and is the most commonly used die for daily combat and adventures of characters such as warriors, thieves, and mages.
The 8 sided dice consists of eight equilateral triangle faces. These faces are symmetrically distributed around a central point, forming a unique three-dimensional shape, and the numbers 1-8 are evenly distributed on these eight faces. Some weapons with special properties or higher damage potential use D8 for damage calculations.
D10 dice
The10 sided diceis a regular decahedron with ten faces in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The ten faces are marked with numbers 0-9, with 0 usually representing 10. It can be used alone or combined with another D10 to form a unique percentage dice (D%).
The percentage dice is a variation of the D10, also a regular decahedron with the numbers 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 on its faces. It is used at the same time as the D10, with D% representing the tens (00-90) and D10 representing the ones (0-9), and the two are combined to generate numbers between 01-100.
D12 dice
12 sided die consists of 12 regular pentagons and is typically used as the Hit Die for classes such as Warriors and Barbarians; it is also used to determine the damage value of weapons such as heavy warhammers, great axes, and greatswords.
D20 dice
The 20 sided diceis composed of twenty equilateral triangles, which are evenly distributed around the center, forming a very symmetrical and beautiful three-dimensional shape. Each face is clearly marked with numbers from 1 to 20. The D20 die is also the most commonly used and representative die in the game Dungeons & Dragons. Almost all skill checks, attack checks, and immunity checks use the 20-sided die (D20 die), such as determining whether an attack hits the target and countering an enemy's attack; it can also be used for strength checks, dexterity checks, intelligence checks, charm checks, and so on. As the most representative dice, the D20 dice is undoubtedly the most core cool dice.
The D100 dice often referred to simply as "100 sided dice"—is a specialized die featuring 100 distinct faces. It is frequently designed to resemble a golf ball, utilizing its various facets or numerical markings to generate random results ranging from 1 to 100. Upon rolling, players obtain a specific numerical value between 1 and 100, which is then used to resolve various probability-based determinations. In Dungeons & Dragons, the D100 is commonly employed to generate random events, such as loot drops, the triggering of magical effects, critical hit determinations, or random narrative encounters.
