Unfortunately, stormvermin are no longer allowed to use Hand Weapons. They have to use their Halberd as it is a special weapon. As for enemies hiding up in a tower, I find that crack's call works wonders.

I actually did this in a game, (screaming bell rang a 13) we followed the scenario rules as if no one controlled the tower. IE it went to VPs. | |

What about using an assassin. It's only 10 on 10 and the assassin's ASF should take a couple out and reduce the number of incoming attacks. LOL. Also you could always put a Vermin Lord in the tower! Nice 500 pts of point denial. |

Pure monsters can't enter a building. Sorry. Assassins are an interesting idea. You could use rat swarms too but I don't think they'd help in anyway, 50 attacks may be nice though. | |

Warlord

also putting a monster in a building would be counter producive, when outside he gets hit by a cannonball he takes 1 hit that does those pesky d6 wounds if unsaved, where as in a house he takse d6 hits from the same thing... Which would result in a very dead verminlord, and to top that off the house is bigger than the lord so hitting him would be even easier than before ;D |

Core rulebook FAQ says if the tower gets blown up you fight over the ruins that are left in its place. |

Yeah, the fold-a-tower is pretty pants for anything except jezzails really. 360 degree LoS and -2 to hit (hard cover) means you'll probably only ever see missile units garrisoning them. My only issue with the tower though is the points output. At minimum, a naked warlord carrying the tower is nearly 200pts. You have to ask yourself if sacrificing 200pts for your jezzail unit is worth it? |

| You kids these days have it so easy, what with your Plague Furnaces and your Hellpit Abominations and your Bonebreaker Warlords. Back in MY day, all we had was Slaves and Clanrats!...and auto-hit Ratling Guns...and skirmishing Jezzails...and 2D6 Warp Lightning...and Lead From The Back...wait, what was my arguement again? | ||

I think Jazzails are a fairly expensive option and with the mass units we now see if your going to invest in Jazzails you really should think about keeping them alive but I would much refer a maxed out unit of Gutter runners with slings and poison in the tower with an assassin for if they are charged. | |

I reckon a cool thematic representation for this would be a skavan tunneling device that had punched up through the surface. Would look awesome if I had a clue how to make one! | |

THIS. I had this exact same thought the other day The pointy drill bit would split in four sections and fold outwards, and a cannon/platform could raise out the center. I'd have a go at making it if I wasn't failing to paint my clanrats.
