So I have never actually fought one but I know a guy who has one and we will probably play bigger battles in the near future, so how do you all deal with this monstrosity? My thought was WLC and warplightning, brass orb if I have one, but in a tourney I wont unless possibly my eshin list. I'm not really sure exactly how the tank works, but I know that if I wound him some then it is dramatically reduced in effectiveness as it could then blow itself up. So I just want to hurt it some and then have my opponent be scared to use it.

for eshin- fellblade is always good (but then, what isn't it good for?)
for a normal list, I would WLC it to death, if that fails try warp lightning.


Just use the useual tactics for Skaven for taking out big things.


i've nevver played one, but there isn't a single big thing in the game that warp lightning cant kill(save the Shaggoth).

I would suggest the Brass Orb, but somehow it has this amazing ability to miss whenever you chuck it at something big (Goblins, fine. Skinks, fine. Steam tank, ARRGGHH! MISFIRE! MISFIRE!)
I'd suggest the WLC. While the Fellblade is good, I think the tank causes terror, which means there's always a chance of your Fellblade-armed rat running off just as he gets within striking distance.
Don't leave it to chance, blow it up from far away.

I never faced a Steam Tank.
Would enough Jezzails work?(like 10)
Would a 5 strong rat swarm be able to hold it up?
In the one WD Battle report a Steam Tank was used vs. Skaven, it was destroyed by a WLC and didn't achieve much.

I've faced a steam tank.

If the player doesn't get very unlucky with his rolls for steam, there's not much to do.

I bombarded it with the WLC, but that and the fellblade is about the only thing that causes damage.

Everything else is peashooters thanks to the rules.

*growls*

Sorry, but I just hate that thing. I'm not usually one to bitch, but this thing... *bitches a lot*

Skaven have such problems to deal with it. We're the race it is most effective against. Jezzails hardly damage it, and you can't tie it up because it doesn't follow any of the normal rules you see.

It can just drive away and smash into you again... so, rat swarms are out.

It's just luck and the WLC...
I am currently writing an epic Dragon Age 2 adventure that can be found HERE!! or on my deviantart.
