I think it's really funny when i misfire, except when that assassin drops and then kills himself with the brass orb, or it is a really important shot that might win/lose the match. I personally prefer the RG over the WFT. --- Adept --- |

i don't like misfires as i said but it's that it is the worst thing to happen... actually i never had a bad misfire. Or one i think of that misfire caused me to lose the battle... and then again most of the times they also bring great fun, but it kills one of my 2 waepon teams so i miss them afterwards |

I love misfires! it is the most fun part of playing Skaven! I get upset if my engineer lives to see the end of combat, how are my Clans supposed to be successful if we don't sacrifice a mage or two to the Great Horned Rat? |

I've never had a 'good' misfire (one that kills anybody other than more Skaven). It seems I'd just rather shoot myself a couple more times to keep the moral up! |

usually missfires arent a bad thing but unfortunately they can be devastating for skaven. It all depends on when it missfires, as long as it makes back its points i dont care. |

Actually, I had 2 (short) games today against the new Korne demon army (those demonic aura's are now regular ward saves - ouch!). Anyways, my opponent got a kick out of my misfires, me shouting "Spin and shoot! Spin and shoot!" or screaming "Aaaaaaaahhhh!! I'm on fire!!!!!" Oh, and the first list was generic, for the guys I usually play (no real shooty stuff), and in the second list I brought jezzails and WLC (stupid greater deamon...). The WLC shot twice, misfired twice (Spin and shoot, hitting nothing, then disappear in green smoke). Well, better luck next game (my butt still hurts from a double kicking). |

I don't care about misfires, I just laugh and say that whatever troops get killed were obviously traitors and so the Horned Rat was protecting me. The only time this didn't work was when my general was killed by a misfiring WLC, couldn't find a way to explain that one. |

Misfires are just Skaven life, I fear. I took six warpfire throwers a couple of battles ago; hey presto, one misfire and none left... sigh. The worst misire I've had is a warpfire thrower running straight into my Seer on the bell, killing him and panicing half the army. But I still take them - I'll never learn... |

Hello all, newbie here... Funniest misfire has to be when my Warp-Lightning cannon was sitting back and shooting and my opponent's general overruns to approximately 1" away. i roll the Artillery dice. Misfire and the WLC takes off backwards and dies. I have now made a melted hole in the ground piece of terrain to put down when it dies... |

The Skaven language is the only one to include 32 words for "friendly fire" and none for "reliability" | |

( old rules) My warpfire thrower misfired while trying to nail the vampire Count General. It of course misfired much to the amusment of the friend I was battling............until the rolls went incredibly in my favour and lead to the burning team running straight into the count and taking him out anyways ( at least one of his lives. damn Carstein ring) Just recently I had a ratling gun blow up on it's first shot('s double 5's) of the game so it was basically hauled into the battlefield as a giant firework. In the same turn I had two wizards with one wound left each fry themselves with warp lightning. Pretty devastating losses for a 1200pt game but I somehow pulled off a victory with a couple of great rolls seeing my clanrats over power some pansy HE swordmasters. |
