Lord ikit claw Heros chieftain - shield, BSB banner of the great horned rat Warlock engineer - level 2, doom rocket, condencer plague priest - level 2, portents of verminous doom, foul pennant, plague censor Core - oh baby Clanrats (30) - Standard + musician, WFT Clanrats (30) - Standard + musician, WFT Clanrats (30) - Standard + musician, WFT Skaven Slaves (21) Skaven Slaves (21) Skaven Slaves (21) Skaven Slaves (21) Skaven Slaves (21) Giant rats (5) pack master (1) Giant rats (5) pack master (1) Special Plague censor bearers (8) Plague censor bearers (8) Rare Warp-lightning cannon Doom Wheel so down to earth here with this list, i don't think anything here is TOO cheesy the only problems i think i would face with it are (A) Painting this monstrosity of models and (B) finding the funds for 8 more censor bearers, 60 slaves a doom wheel, the giant rats and ikit claw, although with reasonable conversion work some of this could be taken away. so throw me a bone and tell me what you think of the list, i think it has the numbers, the hammers, and the magic to pull off a comp friendly (maybe) list ![]() |

This looks like a decent list, though I confess I haven't used Ikit Klaw much, so I can't comment on his general effectiveness as a . . . well, general The only thing I would do is change one of the big clanrat blocks into a large block of plague monks. You have the special slot free, and it will make your PCBs much more durable if they hang around the flanks. Haven't got a lot of use out of the banner of the great horned rat either - is there a specific tactic in mind here? If you're playing competitively, the stormbanner would be a better option, I think; if friendly, then please report on the banner ![]() *mutate* buying 2 boxes of plague monks would give you the bits and extra bodies to make 8 more PCBs too - and give you some of the giant rats too. |

well the idea would be run the chieftian next to the plague priest giving a -2 LD modifier which in my opinion is pretty good, plague monks seem nice but (excuse my lack of knowledge) how do they increase the survivability of the PCB's also on a side note, i have heard that 8th ed will be based on percentages, does this mean that skaven could feild something like 5-6 warp lightning cannons in 1 2250 list, if so. wow. |

Clanrat

I like this list the slaves oh yes the slaves and the censers slaves and traps you can trap the enemy, and ikit claw has 2 saves which is good for a caster, the slaves will overwhealm the enemy and explode if they are brocken, good list no faults plus you have the magic 21. good luck happy gaming. warp fire throwers are good you need more. make it a horde army maxed out they cant kill everyone. |

Ikit and Skrolk are... interesting. They're both level 3 wizards who compensate for their deficiency with a bound spell (effectively a 4th power die). They're limited to a single lore and only 3 spells, unlike a Grey Seer, but they're both a bit harder in combat (Ikit still doesn't want to make it into combat though). However, they're both so expensive it's hard for me to justify taking them. Think: what does Ikit Claw do that a Grey Seer on a Bell doesn't do, besides cost about 22 slaves less? Plus he'll make one of those Clanrat units Unbreakable so your PCBs can hammer whatever they hit in the flank. |

PCBs can use the rank bonus of plague monks for LD tests if they are within 6" - with a big block of monks, this can help make sure they hang around (Being near a furnace adds stubborn too). PCBs do a lot of damage, but if they try to hammer a unit with too much static combat res, it can take a turn or two and a cpl of tests, so I usually keep mine near my monks as much as possible. |

@Sygerrik i think a grey seer on bell is much more expensive than what you are implying, you assume there will not be a 100pt investment in wargear bought for him for some reason which is another 2 and a half units of slaves, yes it would have the staying power but honestly i like clan skryre and i have been getting into conversions lately so i was thinking it could be cool to have a skryre themed army with some bought out plague rats ![]() as for things the grey seer on bell cant do over ikit, i would think he can not leave the unit he is in reducing his effective mobility incase of some strange scenario where that would be a bonus for him ( i have had it happen before) he does not have a warp fire thrower built into him and he doesn't cost 3 units of slaves less i think that you have a good understanding of tactics and abilities that these guys can put out and i don't mean to make it seem like i am bashing you i am just pointing out that i think ikit has some strengths over a vanilla grey seer, also his bound spell is pretty cool and effectively needs 2 dice thrown at it to stop it. @Lord Pox i see what you mean by increase survivability, that is a great idea, the only down side i see is not getting that 3rd WFT, which in my opinion are pretty damn good. i will fiddle with some values in a bit and see what i come up with thank you all for your help thus far
