lookin at the lustria list, would giving them frenzy but keeping packmasters somehow be good to improving ratogres playablility on the field or would it wreck the only thing they have going for then 2 on a flank of clanrats?

Settle, petals!

Last year was Storm of Chaos with the Eshin (and I've won my past 8 games using a combat oriented skirmishing army, so let's not feed that debate)/ this year was Lustria with Pestilens.

Logic says that next year is Moulder's turn.

For which I've quietly and patiently been building up a fair sized collection of Rat Ogres and Giant Rats (even Pus is waiting quietly to join the Moulder explosion).

Sit back, relax, and get ready for some seriously good times when this Clan suddenly gets the star treatment.

Just my two breeding cycles' worth,

I think Moulder should be used to take advantage of one of the lack of troop types that skaven have, being namely the big lone monster like the hydra or giant. Giant ratbeast with packmasters, it's perfect moulder-style. Preferably something that's properly mutated this time too.

*drools* A Rat Hydra! man, how'd that look like? a huge rat with load sof heads... big tail, huge claws, two beastmaster to accompony it...

Never worry. Worst case scenario you die, and then there was no point worrying anyways.

I think that's too unskaven like, it makes you a large target and you'll have more chance of getting shot.

I'm currently drafting the ruls of Batogres in my head, something expensive, flying, skirmishing, suffering from stupidity without pack masters (and you can have only one, for + many points) and they're 0-1 per Master Moulder... not sure about the profile though.

While we do lack cav and flying, it's really for fluff reasons i think, since skaven live in tunnels after all. Bats sound appropriate i suppose though.

Batrats...... *drools*

dianosos... you have a deranged mind.. and i lie it *continues drooling*

i think it should be 0-1, but if you have a master moulder its 0-2, if you have 2 master moulders 0-3 and so on

*more drooling*

Well all Clans have their Moment. Unfortunately for Moulder, it hasn't happened yet. Atleast Clan Moulder gets Rat Ogre Models and the sort.

Pssh. Eshin only got Night Runners. No Eshin Triad, Master Assasin or Eshin Sorcerer.

meh, thos suck big time. I'm only going to use my plastic RO's for trying out a colour scheme and for their bits, the rest will be made up by better looking non hunched backed TO's, suitably converted.

Eshin triad are just assassins, The sorcerrat is already out for mordheim, and a master assassin is cool to convert. the thing I don't like is the fact we get no units we can convert and legally use in all our games.

i plan to trade my rat ogre bitz on bartown... i want a box of clan moulder just for the giantrats and plastic packmasters.. i figured 6 pack masters would set me up good for awhile considering i have a crap load of rats now thanks to the plaguemonk set... anyone else find it weird you have more rats with the plaguemonks then with the moulder box?

I do not think Moulder is neglected. Geez you got plastic rats and rat ogres. Its pretty much teh only army you can have 100% plastic. Cheapest too. Plus now that you have plastics, it means more conversion possibilities. I assume, GW is gonna wind down on the variant lists, as they are geeting to out of control. I bet when they re do teh Skaven, you will be able to take an aswesome list.

My husband has a clan moulder army...
it is actually many giantrats and ratogres, plus clanrats that all have the clan moulder icon on their banner. it is a overwhelming force, let me tell you that :P

The current rules really hurt the Rat Ogres. Pack masters seem to die semi-easily to missile fire. The rules for RO's in the lustria book are very nice. When the Skaven army book gets redone I hope they use the Lustria RO rules. It would also be nice to have another "monstosity" in the army or at least the moulder list.
