key word is should, you don't have to, but it does cause arguments , but I don't really like any of them, I like Pestlins and the Warlock Master, but wouldn't want to get them.....

The Skaven list can be mis-used in a terrible way indeed... I've even seen armies with a whopping 40 (!!!) jezzails. Believe me, expensive units like knights will be doomed. It is not the invincible army, it is only the problem that it is horrible loads of shooting. Greetz |

40 jezzails, 4 special slots so no gutter runners, no monks, no censer bearers. for the same points approx, a DE can field 4 rbt and 30 rxb and still have all their special slots. let's say range is 20" vs T3 units with a 5+ save, typical infantry. jezzails, 40 shots, 14 hits, 12 wounds, no save. DE battery, 24 rbt shots, 16 hits, 11 wounds, no save. plus 60 rbx shots, 20 hits, 10 wounds, 4 saves. skaven 12 kills, DE 21. funny how no one would ever come near claiming that DE setup was cheesy. of course, the jezzails would increase in effectiveness vs higher T or better armored troops. |

Nopez, never saw it (thank god)... I did see a battle with someone having 36 jezzails, 2 warp-lightning cannons, 1 grey seer on screaming bell, I believe 1 warlock could be two and the rest was clanrats with ratling guns. A horrible army which won the tournament... but no-one liked to be against it... Jezzails are great vs. high armoured troops... like, for instance, knights or chaos warriors. Ratlings can do way more damage, but are for support. Greetz |

Ahh thats where your assumpations fall apart the the typical soldier where i play is ussually T3 1+sv or T4 2+sv. Most people I know hate taking infantry they think there slow, die easy and do nothing. |

Hmm.. the crappiest skyre-army I saw in a tournament was 1250 points. 2x Warlock Engineer (Stormdeamon, warpscroll) 3x clanrats + ratling gun 7 (I think) poison wind globadirs 8x jezzails 8x jezzails 1x WLC But the army didnt win the tournament.. wasnt even in the upper third. More balanced skaven armies did much better. |

Do they win a lot of their battles? Isn’t infantry supposed to make up the majority of the army? |

Phordicus ,you are TOTALLY right!! Jezzails are good,but can be countered, pluss they're a special choice. DE and the other Elves have the potential for alot more shooting than Skaven/Skyre. |
