1850 Skaven gun line

i ran an 1850 against slayer dwarfs (no armor/ super fighty)

3x lvl 2 warlords w/ 2 pistols and one with an energy condenser

9x 10 stormvermin w/ rattling gun

2x 6 jezzails w/ sharpshooter

1x warp-lightning cannon

i shot the guy down all the way to only 3 characters by the time he got to me in turn six then his bsb over ran off the table and i got a minor victory cuz he shot one of my stormvermin squads and just panic bombed half of my guys off the table, but i was lucky enough to pass enough ld tests to still pull out the mv.

Any ideas on how to fix the ld problem while still keeping a ridiculous amount of shooting??

Fielding little units with no rank bonus is asking to be panicked. It must have been nice to have the dwarfs coming at you for a change, with M3 ^_^ . Usually Skaven are the ones being shot at.
PS- I think you mean 3 warlocks, not warlords.

a fitting revenge against dwarves, beaten them in their own game.

for leadership, lose the stormvermin, and replace them with ranked clanrats. what they lack in protcetion they'll make up for in leadership. you may also consider fielding a naked chieftan to move to any area that's likely to start running. you'll take a hit in the magic phase, but what you gave up in magic you'll gain in less panics.

oh, and give somebody a doom rocket, use a few turns to move him to the side of the battleline and let lose with a large template.

by the way, do not condone SAD, but if you're going to do it, then you should do it the best possible. no halfway business.

lol yeah i meant to say warlocks not warlords i had some other list goin on in my head at the same time, i took the stormvermin just because the minimum is cheaper than the minimum of clanrats. But i do like the idea of a cheiftain just for the extra ld and maybe i will try running it with clanrats next time
