Endgame scenario - enemy armies spawning every 10 turns?

[blaze rascal]

Hi guys

Just got a long campaign victory for the first time in WH3 so I'm a bit clueless when it comes to endgame scenarios.

After I won (on turn 90) I was warned I had 10 turns to prepare before the damned skavens would make a comeback. Fine, I'd read about that on the Wiki. Spent those 10 turns recruiting and building walls everywhere... just for two miserable skaven armies to eventually spawn in the middle of my territory. Welp.

So they spawned on turn 100, were wiped out by turn 102, and then on turn 110, 4 new armies spawned. It now says I have to go take down all the Skaven clans, which I'm more than fine with but what should I expect regarding enemy armies spawning in the middle of my territory?

Each turn takes a lot of time now so I'd like to know if I can safely leave my territory unprotected and send my armies to hunt down the Skavens, or should I expect 8 armies to spawn on turn 120 and then every 10 turns until I rid the world of the rats?

Note that I didn't change any of the endgame scenarios settings before starting my campaign so they're all the default ones.

Thanks a lot for your help and have a great day!

i didnt experience skaven endgame scenario, but vampires spawn with 6-7 stacks each lord.
they spawn at starting region. so i expect they re hanging out near hellpit and skavenblight.
ai is a bit weird

for ex, in my run, vlad von s stacks stucked at zhufbar for 30turns and they didnt move until i got close. they didnt even attack my allies. which was elspeth,talabecland and few others bordering sylvania.

Skavens have a timer of 2x10, after 10 a small pre endgame spawns if you want to call it that, the real Vermintide starts after 20 turns

Ok thanks for your answers guys, this is starting to make sense. I play as Tehenhauin and I was wondering why Skaven armies were spawning in the middle of Lustria but it just dawned on me that's because that's Skrolk's starting region. I've had 4 or 5 pretty strong Ikit stacks coming from the sea.

That's good to know, so does that mean that "second wave" (the 4 stacks that just spawned on turn 120) is the real Vermintide? That + the mission that requires me to wipe out all the Skaven clans? No more Skaven armies spawning in the middle of my territory to be expected from now on?

That should be the case. though to be fair Vermintide also spawns undercities, so there might be skaven in your territoy but they have to build the armies manually

Fantastic, thanks a lot mate!
