Gotta love the deafening peals ring against the new steam tank and enemies with loads of war machines. |

Getting back to the original topic: I feel the Plague Furnace is rather easy to destroy now. With the heaps of returning attacks that arent avoidable by the fumes and impact hits and come from multiple ranks I have the bad feeling that even infantry with great weapons and monstrous infantry (godforbid) hack that beautiful device into little pieces with ease. |

yeah mine didn't last too long today, as opposse to it usually being something that always stayed till turn 6. it got charged by knights that failed to kill it on the charge, but they then killed it round after at str 3... |

Well, I am glad that people should have no further reason to b*tch about our units being all powerful any longer. Now when I win I don't have to feel bad. |

it doesn't really bother me, it really isn't a that expensive model... but yeap it is that little bit harder to win now which is good i got sick of people saying we were too powerful. after playing a proper game today with 8th rulebook in hand i have to say you can tell skaven was priced with 8th as the guidelines. |

I danno, the couple games ive played havent been all that differant than normal. Normaly the enemy is to busy shooting at my Abomb, Doomwheels and other scarier stuff... More offten than not they ignor the PF till its too late. With the SB as it is now and a shadow magic on the PP Im still finding it survives just fine. Allthough I think it shoulda gotten some kinda armor or ward save being the big huge construct that it is.... Or just do what I did the other day.... Take 2 and watch yer opponent cry out loud.... |

Thanks, Matik. I read the section last night, and I didn't realize that MR was literally only a Ward Save now. I thought it still gave dispel dice, but apparently it got heavily nerfed. Meh, not sure if the PF is still worth it. Against the artillery armies it's just going to get shot to pieces in short order, though I suppose if it's distracting fire from my RO and SV I may be able to call it even. The Storm Banner is DEFINITELY not an option if we're taking a PF or Bell now, though. Not in my opinion, anyway. So sad really. I spent almost a week painting the stupid thing. <_< |

Not an option? Why? I would think it would be perfect! |

There is nothing other then the MR that got changed IMO. The fact the cannons n guess fire can measure now is applied to every unit in every army and is not a specific nerf to us. Other than that I dont see why everyone thinks its not worth it... its only 150pts I find people who freak out and shoot everything at it are just gonna geta wakeup call when the doomwheel abomb and other beasts hit their lines... No more +1 to hit... Still scary.... add a storm banner n shadow magic... High toughness... Try some Gutterrunners as sneaky infiltrators if those pesky warmachines bug u too much.... Poisoned slings are awesome now.... PF is totaly still worth it... just run more monks with it.. I used to run 30 now i run 50... still rox
