Hey everyone, recently just dropped my Bretonnians (wasn't the army for me) and decided to pick up skaven. I am still rather new to fantasy, but wanted to create a 2250 list to build towards, and would like a lot of criticism, no matter how harsh. I would be playing smaller games along the way, but this would be a list that I would spend the majority of my time painting/building. I want it to be competitive. At tournaments the comp score would hurt me (well, I think it would) so maybe change it some so it isn't disliked a lot by other players? Lord: Grey Seer, screaming bell, power stone, warp-energy condensor, skalm: [510 points] Heroes: Plague Priest level 2 w/ flail, plague furnace, 2x dispel scroll: [339 points] Warlock Engineer level 1, warpmusket, doomrocket: [110 points] Core: 25 Stormvermin full command, banner of the under-empire, attached doom-flayer [280 points] 20 Slaves [-- points] 20 Slaves [--points] 15 Giant Rats, 2 packmasters, 1 Master Moulder w/ great weapon [98 points] Special: 25 Plague Monks full command [200 points] 8 Plague Censor Bearers [-- points] 5 Warplock Jezzails [-- points] Rare: 1 Doomwheel [-- points] 1 Hellpit Abomination with warpstone spikes [250 points] Total: 2245 points Power Dice: 9 static Dispel Dice: 6 Thanks for any help

One thing I am concerned about is maybe needing more plague monks for all the toughness tests. And maybe try to get the flame-thrower in there, but I like the doom-flayer. |

This looks like a fairly solid list to me, and shouldn't score too badly on comp, it's pretty varied, you only have one of anything, etc. However, some comp hammers skaven at the moment, and you do have 1 of every piece that has been/is considered above average (furnace, PCBs, jezzails, doomwheel, a-bomb, doomrocket engineer). In a couple of books no-one will mind, but in the meantime you might like to make it a bit more friendly by theming it a bit more - taking a particular clan as a focus, for example - and maybe upping your core a little bit with a unit or two of clanrats. The irony is that this won't really weaken the list much, just the perception of the list. The old skaven static combat res blocks tactic still works pretty well, but it doesn't have the "omg what's that big thing, jeez, skaven are so OP" factor. |

Yea, it looks fairly decent. Skaven aren't OP, they're cheesy.
