Hello all,

Without further ado, here's the list I've been using...

Lords:

Warlord, Warlock-Augmented Weapon, Shield of Distraction, Rival Hide Talisman, Rat Ogre Bonebreaker. 230

Heroes:

Plague Priest, Flail, Plague Furnace, Dispel Scroll, Portents of Verminour Doom. 299

Chieftain, BsB, Sacred Banner of the Horned Rat. 140

Assassin. 120

Core:

30 Clanrats, Shields, Musician, Standard, Doom-flayer. 202

30 Clanrats, Shields, Musician, Standard, Doom-flayer. 202

15 Night Runners, Warp-grinder. 165

21 Slaves, Musician. 44

21 Slaves, Musician. 44

Special:

4 Rat Ogres, 2 Packmasters. 176

31 Plague Monks, Full Command, Storm Banner. 292

5 Censer Bearers, Plague Chanter. 93

5 Censer Bearers, Plague Chanter. 93

Rare:

Doomwheel. 150

Army Total: 2250

The army hits like a ton of bricks, though it is vulnerable to magic. So far I have found that there are enough threats that opponents can't deal with all of them before they reach their lines.

A more general view of the new Skaven is that combat based armies like mine need to focus on getting the charge or they are nowhere near as effective...

Comments appreciated!!

Cheers,
Dave

Back to retirement!

Looks good! Infact I can only really see 2 pressing issues, which are 1) upgrade one of the Rat Ogres packmasters to a Master Moulder, just to give them a bit more survivability against ranged attacks, and 2) give your assassin some equipment or drop him. If you are going to invest this many points in a character, at least kit him out to do the best job he can... :ph43r:

Thanks for the reply!!

M problem is that I don't know where to get the points from for those upgrades..? The mere presence of the assassin, either scouting or hidden, has been useful in games so far. I was considering dropping the assassin for a sniper warlock, but I don't have anywhere useful for him to go as everything is moving most of the time. I did originally try out the Infernal Bomb, but have found it to be too hard to get into a useful position. What other equipment would you suggest for the assassin?

If I drop him completely I could afford a master moulder, or even Squeel, for the rat ogres. Not sure about that though?

Cheers,
Dave
