If you didn't start a Skaven army what army would you have done instead? Me I would probably have done Beastmen or lizardmen. How bout you?

I'm not sure if I would have played Warhammer, but if I had to choose; Dark Elves.
Just like I love Skaven Society, I love the Drow Society (not the Warhammer one, but the Menzoberanzan one). There are much similarities between the two and I like the colourscheme of Dark Elves.

I don't think I'd like playing them as much as I like Skaven though.. but like I said; if I had to choose...

i once had about 3k of high elves but didn't really enjoy them. i need something not quite so noble and more feral, so i am impatiently waiting for the wood elves.

I have about 3000 points worth of Orcs/Goblins.
I am just starting my Skaven army, well... about 6 months ago. I have always liked the Skaven, had some of the 5th edition models, but not enough to field in battle.
Its the potential for killing your own troops, the run away factor, the randomness of playing with a Skaven army which appeals to me. Makes every game you play just a little different.
These were the same reasons I collected orcs.

Somthing about having an army that does the same thing every game just doesn't appeal to me.

I used to have a Dwarf army, but sold it on eBay. Had some High Elves, but gave those away to various friends. Co-owned a bunch of Empire and Wood Elves, but have since lost track of them.

I'd be thinkin VC or elves. I did high elves for a time but sold em (too bad they were really well done) and ive still got a wood elf army kickin around. I like elves because they're good and fast, and fairly shooty. VCs because for once i want a horde army that doesnt have to worry about low ld.

Lizard men, if there were only pictures of skaven, get a beast man army and convert them all, Minatours=Uber Rat Ogres, Warhounds=Uber Giant Rats, Ungors=Slaves, Gors=Clanrats, and on and on and on....
ONLY 3 TENTACLES.....add more warpstone.

Dark Elves or Vampire counts. I chose eshin because of it's unique style of play and I could never have so much fun (my opponents don't, though). Since this was my first army I don't really have a grasp on ranking units/wheeling, but what do I care?

What the!? :blink:

Well anyway VC or Beastmen. Don't ask me why but it would have to be one of them. (Saying that I seem to recall an ancient White Dwarf had a VC battle report, 3rd or 4th edition, so that might be why I like VC).

orcs, they're almost as out of control as skaven [i have 3,000 points of 'em],
or VC [i have 2,000 points of Lahmians]

me being the person-so-little-money-that-I-can-only-afford-one-horde-army that I am. I thinked I'd go for an elite army, like chaos or dwarfs. I've been tossing the idea of a all-mounted slaanesh army around in my head for a while. It's kinda frail but has major potential. Plus about 20ish hounds (hurray for 6point mini cav!)
