I have read several stories about our people. Including the excellent work by some our own here on UE like Rattus and Verminous Feng (?) One thing I have noticed in these works and the lengend of such comical yet amusingly destructive devices like the Doom Wheel is that our kind while we tend to...borrow ideas from other races we are just as capable when we want to, we can come up with some rahter interesitng ideas.

As a young warpsmith I have wondered; what new waepons and machines of destruction can we come up with? I know we all have a long list of new things that may never see the light of day but I would like to know what you all have in terms of ideas of playable new weapons.

One I think we can start of with is also a very popular one we have all come to know about. The skavens improvements to the drawfs gyrocopter!^^ (Rattus and the book Vermintied have alot to be creditied with my intrest in makinig one of these for just a fluff fun game).

As far as a playable version the simplest way I can think of is to take the drawf gryocopter status except of course minus 1 from the WS, and S and make the LD 7, I would also say it be armed with either a WFT or a RG. Total points wise since I would expect any respectable adapt of the great clan Skyre to charge a nice price for such a perspective killing machine say 190+? Anyway thats just my idea. I agian I am curious as to what the rest of da ratkin think.

Peace! :KA-BOOM: (I like this smily^^)

Yeah I get alot of these ideas, at school you have lots of time to daydream, I often sketch out these ideas on my worksheet to keep my mind busy, and If I like what I see I may start brainstorming a conversion idea.

I've been thinking of converting a big Skryre mech and using the Giant rules to represent such a machine.

Think the cyberdemon from Doom, with a lot more wood, rusted metal, and bells :D

Hmm..... Why doesn't one just "Borrow" a Gyrokopter from the nasty little stuntys! *snicker snicker* and then power it with beautiful warpstones, to make it fly faster and better.... But! put on weaponry! Haha! *laughs delightfully to himself* I'll start right away! * Grabs paper, a quill, a hunk of warpstone for the engine, and of coarse a slave to test it.... and wanders off into the dark of a laboratory*

Well this has been an interesting week, for May 4th this past sunday was my spawnday, ^^ I'm 22 now! yay for me. A friend of mine had forgotten but to make up for it he felt he had to buy me somthing then and there and grabbed the only thing he was thinking about at that moment and bought it for me....it was an Space Ork Big Gun set, the "Kannon" blister. I've spent the last few hours looking at it until my horns began to tingle and an idea formed in my twisted mind. From this basic model with some simple remodling with plastic card and some skaven bits I have forged a new weapon for the armies of the great horned rat. I call it the Blitz Gun.

Rare
Skaven Blitz Gun 125pts
Cannon : T/6 W/3
Crew: M/5 WS/3 BS/3 S/3 T/3 W/1 I/4 A/1 LD/5
Acolyte Engineer: M/5 WS/3 BS/4 S/3 T/3 W/1 I/4 A/2 LD/7

Number of Crew: 3
Crew's Weapon and Armor: Hand weapons & Light armor
Options: You may add one Acolyte Engineer, equiped with light armor, and either warp-blades for 15pts, or light armor and a brace of warp-lock pistols for 25pts. He functions as a unit champion for all respects.
Special Rules: The Blitz Gun works like a large jezzail rifle, use the BS of the crew of the Engineer if one is taken with the gun, after confirming the gun has fired safetly roll an artillary dice to determin the result of the shot. If you roll a number that many units suffer as if they were hit by a individural jezzail. However if you roll a missifre, the shot has not been set right, or one of the crew set the wrong settings on the guns angel, your enemy may now chose a new target for the shot, once the new target is picked, he must roll 2D6 and a scater dice to determine if the new target has suffered a hit, the new target may not be more then 10in from the original target.

I've yet to test this new weapon but I've manage to find some willing gunie-I mean volunteers to man this new weapon and see how well it works.
