And this time the game is going to be 2000pts!!! Got to field everything Ive got, plus some extras, but I feel confident. I know roughly how to beat the damned creature now (sort of ;) )... I am definately going to be fielding a grey seer, stormvermin, clanrats, slaves and plague monks. Any other suggestions on what should go in??

Things that have POISON!!!
And lighting. Cause lighting makes the Shaggoth Angry. Which is how a unit of fleeing night runners could probally occupy it for the entire game.

Worked when that allied Hell Cannon went rampaging...*Sniff* Poor little night runners...had to sacrifice 20 of them...

That's what I would go with. Nice brass orb on good defensive character.

Strangely enough, I didnt use Jezzails, yet I still won! His Shagoth ended up fleeing the field after a particularly appauling combat phase... It would have been a massacre if it hadnt been for Skaven magic!!! My big guns worked fine for once., but my magic completely stuffed up! Plague was worst. All I can say is ouch there... After it only killed 4 gors, it proceeded to rampage through my own lines, killing 13 stormvermin, 15 clanrats and wounding my assassin!!!! Then to make matters worse, the next spell miscast and the magic phase ended. Later, when my Night Runners fled, a full beastheard persued into my grey seer. I was confident he'd be able to escape using skitterleap, but guess what? It miscast and he lost the Spell!!!! Then he proceeded to die. So I finally won!!! Revenge was indeed sweat...

*laughs* aaah I am so happy I am not the only one with an abysmal skaven magic phase...

I never dare cast plague anymore, Skwee the seer has a tendency to just spread it amongst his own troops. And then there's ratty sniffles all over the place...

Funny, my opponents all end it when they get the chance. Maybe because I always jump up and down excitedly as they think about the potential targets. :D

"Yes, yes, yes! Target that unit... It looks like it's only 6" from your general's unit... Oh, you're ending it? Pity." :D

I guess my opponent couldnt resist the sight of multiple fully ranked up units of skaven, especially when there were so few beastmen left around :D

Now that is a tactic that could acually work *grins*

I so love psychological warfare, perhaps I should give Skwee another chance to prove himself when it comes to handling infections.

Thats a nice idea... this time though he just fled the field thanks to a useful flank charge, but next time I doubt Ill be so lucky...
