I think that an scryre list is a dream my friend, they are never gonna make it...
The reason is simple.. Too much shooting :D A normal skaven list can destroy anything if using the SAD army type, imagine a Scryre SAD army :blink: :blink: :blink:

Would you should change? Jezzails as core??? WLC as special??? Globardiers mainstay??? No, it has no reason to exist.

I may create a possible scryre army list if you still want, but most likely it would be pure cheese ^_^
A Challenge? I can't say i accept, victory is in my grasp now, man thing. My horde beat-beat yours, why should i bother fight you...
Coward? I ain't coward, man-thing.
Not at all, i just take-take precautions.
Ratling Gun, fire-fire!

Squeek squeek, what an idiot...


It's a world red in tooth and claw,
a world without pity, mercy or compassion,
where only strength and cunning are respected.
Kill or be Killed, Eat or be Eaten.

As many members here and GW put it, the normal list already has all the Skryre it needs.

But Skryre doesn't necessarily mean cheesy. Think Automatons, motorbikes, lightsaber type swords, doomwheels, uber-cool chariots, Augmented Rat Ogres.... there would be a lot more shooting, but it wouldn't necessarily mean cheesy.

yes I like it, as long as we make it as un-cheesey as possible. Not shure about lightsabers... maybey give them somthing like a 40k power weapon/powerfist (but full of warpstoney goodness)

The Clan Skyre list is the Skaven Army book. I don't know what you lot are goin' on about. :rolleyes:

You can actually do lots with the list, just make sure it's not all shooty.

I think with a bit of imagination and love there could be a Skryre list a lot less boring and single-minded as Skryre has a reputation for being. Skryre is all about technology and insane genius, and this doesn't need to be translated just as a bunch of shooting and magic missles as Morskittar said.

If you compare the fluff for engineers versus their role on the battlefield it's actually rather dull. They are these crazy tinkerers who are basically in competition with one another to make the most outlandish and destructive devices, it seems to me they should be able to do more than just ejaculate the warp-lightning spell. How about the ability to tool up weapon teams, jezzails, globadiers, WLCs to have interesting added effects (possibly with added risks?)--or the ability to take specialist technology like super-rifles or servo arms, to ride doomwheels as a monster mount or to allow you to include some customized mechanation, sort of like the customizable rat ogres for Hell Pit?

The lists complete emphasis on ranged combat can be tempered with things like combat cyborgs and augmented rat ogres.

Just random rambligs here:

Something that explodes.
maybe some kind of retinue for warlocks.
Exploding unit.
Bionics.
Power Weapon/powerfist.
Something that can blow itself up.
Bring in: Steam Tank thingy (name?), Augmented RO's, Doomwheel
Crazy wargear/upgrades/equipment

those things might be worth considering, or not...

indeed.... it might also be cool to create new weapons for the clannies, so it is clear that they're from clan Skryre.....

Maybe.... but in the Army book, note that it says that Skryre armies are usually at first indistinguishable from Warlord Armies due to the sheer numbers of Clanrats. Maybe there could be one or two small opstions, but I think that generally, Clanrats should be left alone. Instead, you can havea different kind of tech-trooper similar to Clanrats.... Just my thoughts...

I didn't mean lightsabers :P

Kind of like the thing that one of my WE's influff has (Kraskritch). It is an enchanted/technoed out blade that can cut though almost anything to do an aura it gives off... kinda' like lightsabers, but not the same... it's kinda' hard to explain. :P

MUTATE: Sorry for the double post. Mods can merge these two. I didn't know that I was the last poster here.... I guess I just forgot.... :unsure:

So in other words a 40k style power-weapon :P

Let's make jezzails mainstay, and give clanrats warplock pistols, and make the WLC special!
(it was a joke, no don't hurt me... argh, it burns!)

on a more serious note I think we should leave clannies, jezzail, WLC alone for now (clanrats mainstay, jezzails special, WLC rare) but rather focus on awsomeness, and not SADness

Snagrit, make a contribution to the topic or please don't post, such as criticism to explain yourself for yelling cheese.

Simply screaming "CHEESE" does not qualify as contribution, only spam.
