To summon their favorite god, the Skaven have come up with the most balls-to-the-wall insane plan of all time.

First, the Skaven designed a space ship that makes it looks like a twin-tailed comet in the sky (yes, skaven can go into space now, but the space ship crashed as soon as it ran out of fuel anyway, but is still pretty impressive compared to other factions that don't have the power to build the thing) thus fooling every major faction in the new world into shitting their pants, and resulting in a race to control the vortex.

Then, after one of the other races reaches their final stage, they will have to fight a final, massive battle against the other three major factions. Of course, even if the Skaven faction involved in the battle didn't win it doesn’t matter, as there will be ANOTHER Skaven army, ready to ambush the winner who would be already exhausted from fighting off the three armies from each faction.

The final step would then require a bell device that could soak in all the magic from the vortex, further strengthened by the magic poured in from every major faction that participated in the ritual.

If the Skaven are victorious, they will begin to see their horned god in the vortex, with the horned rat eventually manifesting into the material realm after the bell device tolls 13 times...and after one final sacrifice.

[[just as planned|It seems like the Council of Thirteen had already planned this]] [[grimdark|though, with whichever clan winning the war being completely sacrificed to the horned one to finalize its resurrection]]. Yeah, pretty typical of a Skaven scheme to fuck over their own people. Though in the end, the chosen clan does end up fucking over the council in return when the Skaven scribe spilled the blood of a grey seer on the bell's clapper, resulting in the Grey Seer clan being marked for sacrifice instead.

Also, this is the second time in the history of Warhammer that the Horned Rat has made its official appearance, he made a brief cameo in the bad end for the video game ''Warhammer: Shadow of The Horned Rat''. You can see him in the background of the final battle where he tried to break into the material realm, as well as in the grand reveal cinematic.
