Warlock Captain Krits'Neth, Chosen son of Ikit Claw
Today at my local club I was paired off to battle, I was expecting another shotty army from the empire, but instead I had to fight a sakven who was on the defenders side, so I would be fighting against a Clan Moulder army.
We would both be using appendix army list, him moulder, and me skryre. We both have been converting some pretty cool minitures and he brought along his rat-wolf riders, I thought it would be a cool idea to test his new unit, so I proposed he can use his riders if i may use a few of my new units, I have developed some fairly fair rules for these, we took this the to club prez, and he said it was an awesome idea and would love to ref the game. So he set up his Rat-Wolf Riders of Master Mutator Click-Clack, And I set up, Krits'Neth, my warplock pistolers, my warplock Riflemen and my new character, the warplock commander.


The sun was just rising, Krits'Neth felt the winds of magic surge through his body and felt his soul soar, he flew low, observing the enemy prepare for battle, many mutated beasts swelling the ranks of Moulder army.These fools had been declared heretics by The Horned Rat, and Krits'Neth had pleaded with Ikit Claw to give him the honour of disposing of them. He felt a tug in the way the winds blow, beneath him he saw what seemed to be a moulder wizard, how did he possibly beleive he could match up against the chosen son of Ikit Claw? He felt an annoyance and opened his eyes to be staring at Warplock Captain LongShot, this newcomer had promised Krits'Neth that he could kill an enemy target 500 yards off, not beleiving this Krits'Nith said that he would accept him into the clan if he proved himself. "Master, when do we-we begin our assault?" Longshot asked, in anticipation, "Soon enough." Krits'Neth casually replied, humbly leaning on his Staff, a number of strange brass orbs and glass globes hung from a belt, strange green gas flowed within them, it was mesmerising to look upon and with a snap Longshot came back to his senses. "Are you sure-sure you can do what you say you can Longshot?" The warlock asked, uncertainty in his voice, "Oh yes-yes most powerful lord, my Jezzail-Long Rifle will hit any target 500 yards away." With a nod, Krits'Neth ordered the march forward.
The battle was not over yet, another wave the the big-big rat thingscame crashing into the stormvermin, Krits'Neth was sure that if he had not been commanding the unit they would of surely fled, he spied through his telescope, trying to establish a worth target which to cast warp-lightning upon, there it was, a big unit of Clan moulder giant rats, he raised his Staff in the air, the warp blades attached to the top of it glowed a sickly green, next instant a bolt of dark green lightning shot straight from the blades and straight at the giant rats and packmasters, almost half of the giant rats were fried to death and 2 of the packmasters collapsed to the ground smoking, they turned tail and fled, a unit of clanrat slaves had seen this and, with their tails between their legs turned and ran. Next he called upon the winds and cast a spell, His Halberd-like weapon burst into flames as he charged the Rat Ogres.
Antoher hail of bullets fell upon the Moulder clanrats as the Jezzails fired on them, their shields and light armour were no match for the warpstone bullets. The Clan skryre pirates weilding a number of pistols tokk aim at the exposed flank of the large unit of clanrats not fleeing and fired, thier warplock pistols cutting down all who were unfortunate to be hit. Meanwhile on the far right flank, the Giant Rat-Wolves charged towards the skryre slaves, Krits'Neth looked away for a split second, 2nd instinct taking over the fight, he saw his oppurtunity, "Fire-fire warp-lightning cannons, quick-quick!" as he barked the commands, the Skryre adpets fired their strange weapons, one of the cannons humming loudly before spinning around wildly and stopping aimed directly at another unit of giant rats and blasting all but 5 away, these rats also fled. The 2nd cannon however charged to almost full power and fired, the blast, full of chaotic energy ripped through the slaves and then the riders, 2 of the riders fell, as 7 slaves were sent to meet their makers.
The battle had been long and hard, but nearly all of the traitor resistence were wiped out, dead or dying, Longshot, the warplock commander steadied his rifle, before firing twice, Click-Clack felt it as one of the searing warpstone bullets bit into his exposed flesh, he let out a bark of pain, Krits'Neth capatalised on the oppurtunity and fired a huge ball of fire the mutators unit, caught off guard the stormvermin burnt, before they could respond Krits'Neth barraged them with the same green lightning he had been firing all battle, frying more of the tall skaven, If it hadnt been for the wounded Click-Clack's vicious bark the vermin would of routed then, Krits'Neth ordered his own bodyguard of stormvermin to charge their rival counterparts, steel met steel as stormvermin battled stormvermin, Longshot opened the jezzail barrel and loaded 2 bullets glowing sickly green, these bullets werre much more powerful than the other bullets he had been firing during the battle, he took up aim at the huge skavens head and an instant later the mutator fell to the ground, his death instatly felt amongst the remaining traiotrs, every last stormvermin ran, trampling their former leader, "Let them run, they won't get far-far."
"All-all of the traitor-things were killed father." Krits'Neth informed Ikit Claw of his victory, "Most excellent my son."
A broad smile widened on the warlocks face.


I hope you enjoyed my battle, The warplock riflemen didnt really get many kills so they werent included. plase leave comments ;)

Great battle! I always have trouble with Skaven vs. Skaven, so it's nice to hear that you won! :D

So, how did all the new units work out? Were they fair? And how did the rat-wolf riders do?

Well, the new units were pretty balanced, the Rat-Wold riders were basically giant wolves from the goblins list with skaven riding them, they didnt do to bad. the warplock Riflemen didnt get many kills (about 5 giant rats all up i think), however the warplock commander did great as did the warplock pistolers.

The riflemen, was this because they couldn't do well, or that their usefulness was minimized by their position, etc.?
