Figured last night that maybe a Skryre list would be a lot of fun. So today, before Constitutional Law, I made a list for the fun of it. A few thoughts on Clan Skryre. I like these guys thematically and rules wise. Sure, the weapons can possibly backfire, in a very true sense of the word, but they can also cause massive pain to the enemy. Especially if I see one of those things I hate the most: Treemen. Plus if I go with this Clan, I want to have a large number of slaves to throw in... and then blast into combat without a care! I love the Skaven in many so many ways. List A: Clan Skryre focused. Warlord Warpstone Armor Warpstone Amulet Desolate Blade (considering dropping this, to get Hw/Sh) Shield Chieften BSB Twisted Crown of the Horned Rat Heavy Armor Chieften Brass Orb HvA and Sh Warlock Engineer 2 Dispell Scrolls Warplock Pistol ---Core--- 35 Slaves. 30 Slaves. 30 Slaves. 29 Stormvermin. Full Command. Shields. 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. Weapons Team: Ratling Gun 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. Weapons Team: Ratling Gun 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. Weapons Team: Ratling Gun 8 Poison Wind Globadiers 8 Poison Wind Globadiers ---Special--- 5 Jezzail Teams 5 Jezzail Teams 5 Jezzail Teams ---Rare--- Warp Lightning Cannon ---------------------Thoughts--------------------- I'm a little light on the magic defense, heavy on the shooting. The former bothers me, the latter has me considering reducing it to avoid being called cheesy.... despite it being a but of evil rats. I kitted my Warlord to both survive a beating, and to be mildly less tempting to attack. I'm throwing him in the Stormvermin, who will mainly go Hw/Sh. I'm hoping that they'll win by static res primarily until the opponent whiffs. BSB is trying to stay alive, and the other chieften has something to use against monsters and the such. Slaves will hurl in, and hopefully pin a unit... long enough for me to at least blast them. PErhaps frenzy bait or pull a unit forward to be picked off. I'm hoping that my jezzails and ratlings can really whittle away units. I'm more of a fan of this list. Tis more what I'd really like to do with Skaven. I could also enjoy painting this. It may be a summer project, but I'd take my time with these guys (except the slaves) and make them look good... primarily the weapons and their crews. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pestilens. Characters are the same as above except the Engineer turns in his pistol. 29 Stormvermin. Full Command. Shields. 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. 29 Clanrats. Full Command. Hw/Sh. They come with LA. ---Special--- 30 Plague Monks. Full Command. Extra Handweapon 30 Plague Monks. Full Command. Extra Handweapon. 2 Rat Ogres 2 Rat Ogres ---Rare--- 6 Plague Censer Bearers 6 Plague Censer Bearers Thoughts: While I like these guys thematically I am not a fan of of Frenzied. Plus after having done Nurgle Mortals, I'm a little less inclined to do the Plague Monks at this time. The nice thing is, the heart of this army is the same as the above so I can focus on those in the meantime... although if I ever go pure Pestilens... then I'd want their paint scheme to reflect that. I'm much less likely to do this list personally. I don't think I can use it as well. Maybe eventually. |

Twisted, evil, treacherous, and diabolical rats wielding arcane technologies that are dangerous to foe and friend, that care not for their kin and are constantly plotting against each other. What more need I say about what makes Skaven cool? My Skaven Blog Updated November 29, 2009. 7:57 PM (-6 GMT) Have spare little rats from the old clanrats, current plague monks, corpse cart, or individual rats from the doom wheel? PM me. I want them. 30 more needed. | |

Since it seems that you will be using List A. I will offer suggestions on that list (list B is excellent anyway). Suggestions for list A: The desolate blade is a huge waste of points, as it has almost exactly the same benefits of a great weapon, at 10x the cost. HW/S would provide a good armor save, but would lack in strength. The weeping blade would be an excellent replacement. Since skaven BSB's have the lead from the back rule, the regeneration is unnecessary. Use the points for a magical banner instead. The pistol is a complete waste, use the points elsewhere. Your magic defense is also very light, consider dropping the brass orb chieftain for another warlock. Another unit of clanrats and another unit of slaves would be helpful, cutting down the slave units (no reason to have more than 25), dropping one of the Jezzail units and a few globadiers would give you more models and MCUs. |
