I have a game tuesday at my brand new club (which incidentally if any of you can make it to Warrington CHeshire you would be more than welcome to join!)

I have access to the following minis:

Lords/ heroes

Grey seer on screaming bell
Assasin
Warlock engineer

Core/ Special:

45 Clanrats (2 sets of FC (full command))
2 Ratling guns
15 Plague monks (with FC)
10 Stormvermin (with FC)
5 Rat swarm bases (poisened attacks of course!)
30 Slaves
5 Rat ogres+ handlers

Rare:

Giant!!
Warp lightning cannon (will be a proxy model as I plan on scratch building mine!)

So... few questions...1) Can anyone make me a decent list out of that lot and give a new player some advice (long time 40k player but only ever played 1 game of fantasy!)




Thank you MTV for pimping my giant!

Well, you didn't say how many points you want the list to contain!

However, against khorne, lots of small, cheap units like 1pack giant rats and 5 nightrunners will let you pull frenzy charges across the board all day long. :) Big clanrat units to flank-attack what you can break with 5 CR and some jezzails and the Cannon to shoot what you can't. :)

As some general advice, however, you're going to need more clanrat and slave models.. ^_^

Welcome to fantasy, btw, and congratulations on playing for the right team ;)

oops sorry! in my original post I had pics of the Khorne army I am facing (seeing as how I painted it as a commision job for my mate! :D ) and also pointed out that I was looking for a 2k points list

I editted that out when I took the time to actually see that you already had some excellent tactics articles in here but also editted the points values I was looking for!

so yeah- 2000 points please but my game is at 5pm today so may not get replies in time (thanks anyway though!)

Thank you MTV for pimping my giant!

You're a bit short on models for 2000 I think, but a game is always better than no game. :)

You could field the rat ogres in units of one each, giving you three handy baits that can lure expensive things away from your clanrats. :)

It goes very character heavy, but until you can get more clanrats, It'll just have to do :D

Something like:

1 Grey Seer @ 640 Pts
Tenebrous Cloak
Warpstone Charm
Dispel Scroll
1 Screaming Bell @ [325] Pts

20 Clanrats @ [125] Pts (pushing bell)
Standard; Musician,Clawleader

1 Assassin @ 175 Pts
Smoke Bombs;Bands of Power,Warpstone Amulet

1 Warlock Engineer @ 115 Pts
Full kit -pistol
Warpscroll

25 Clanrats @ 200 Pts
Standard; Musician
Ratling Gun

20 Clanrat Slaves @ 40 Pts
20 Clanrat Slaves @ 40 Pts
(use the rat swarms as fillers in these to make two 20 units)

10 * Stormvermin @ 175 Pts
Shield; Standard; Musician
Fangleader
Ratling Gun

15 Plague Monks @ 145 Pts
2ndWeapon; Standard; Musician
Plague Deacon @

1 Rat Ogre @ 50 Pts
1 Rat Ogre @ 50 Pts

1 Warp-lightning Warp Cannon @ 100 Pts

1 Giant @ 205 Pts

1 Rat Swarm @ 45 Pts

Casting Pool: 10

Dispel Pool: 5

Models in Army: 123

Total Army Cost: 1980

As you can see, Very light on models (My 1500list fields 180...) but still, it's all you've got. :) Good Luck!
