Since I switched to pure horde, I've never lost a battle!

Before that was a balanced list (2 Clanrats and much other jazz from the Greater Clans) which lost on occassion, but not much at all, I'm pleased to say!

I used to be a pretty bad player and since I swapped some units (rat-ogres and elite infantry) for more clanrats about a year ago, I won about 60% of my games. What's even better is my tournament record, 3-1-2 in the last 3 tourneys :)

Haven't voted in the poll yet because I'm torn as what to choose.

See, I have the worst win/loss record of my hobbystore. I almost always lose no matter what army I'm playing. The reason for that was because I always choose my units from more of a "wow that would be soo cool" point of view than "what is this unit actually going to do for me on a battlefield" <_< .

BUT I've recently made changes to my army list (thanks to this forum for all the great tips) to make it more hordish (still not a true horde, but enough to keep me on the safe side) and more reliable. I've used the army only once yet in a 2 vs 2 battle with vampire counts (blood dragons cav list) against wood elves (pretty allround list) and lizardmen (2nd gen slann, skinks, kroxies and saurus). Now here's the thing: I did extremely well with my list :o . My grey seer was more reliable than he'd ever been and faced off against a slann almost single handedly. My clanrat units were absorbing all the shooting and distracting the heat from the hard hitters (something I never had). Even my eshin units worked :lol: !

So my new list goes undefeated as of yet, but if my past record is any indication of the future, I might turn out to be one of the worst generals here. I can give out some handy tips though, but I have a tendency to ignore my own advice :P .

So I'll wait for this untill I've played some more games, ok ^_^ ?

Cheers,
Bodacious.

I would say I win more than I loose, though I certainly don't win every battle :P

Hmm I seem to struggle against VC but for the rest I win pretty much all of my battles with my horde army.

Well, I don't have a 'current army' as such. I'm lucky enough to have over 6000 points of troops and equipment (thanks to years in the hobby - and a generous overdraft facility).

I rarely field the same army over and over - I like to keep my opponents guessing, especially those I play against regularly. One of the greatest perks of a Skaven horde is the sheer number of permutations you can trundle out.

But as for my success rate....I can say overall around 80%. :)

Bunny ear says flop

*ponders*... In all honesty I don't do wargames that often anymore these days, which is mostly due to the fact I simply don't have the time for it, but partly also due to a somewhat increasing loss of interest. Though, when getting back to the question I'd have to say that I only have one current army, which will always be Skaven. Considering the results of the last five/ six battles, I'd have to say my win/loss ratio lies somewhere around the seventy percent. So I eventually went for the third answer.

well in my case we do alot of team vs team battles, so it often depends on who my ally is.

with my skaven i won all the games i did when we had a 1 on 1 tourney amongst ourselves, but in team battles its more a 50/50 kind of thing, so thats what i voted for

Didn't vote, because I win more than 50% of my battles, but not "almost all." Also, how would draws be counted in this reckoning?

Oh, and I've also added the "this poll is stupid" option. It's an Underempire tradition. :P

Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

Always with my CURRENT Skaven army- I've lost LOADS of games over the time I've been playing, but won my last 8 in a row now and counting! :D (I don't think it's cheese- I hope)

I use a:
40 strong block of speared clanrats for...coolness.
20 plague monks with Umbranner to flatten whatever unit worries me most.
Varying sizes of slinged night runners for some missile troops.
An engineer for sheer blowy-up-ness.
Chieftain with Sacred Standard. (to make the clanrats more scary)
A warp lightning cannon
A ratling gun.
3 giant rat packs.

No general tactics for using it, other than nasty unit-smashing with the plage monks and knight-killing with the cannon. Just seems like a good all-round army.
