First Skaven List - 1000 pts

Hey everyone. This is the first army list I've written for the Skaven. It's based around the models I have, so it's not gonna be a prefectly balanced list, but it'll be used in a pretty non-competitive way (except maybe the abomination, but it was too cool not to include; it'll probably be replaced by a unit of stormvermin soon).

So, yeah. Any tactics or refinements that can be suggested are welcomed. Also, I have a model for an assassin, so I can switch the warlock out for that, but that would leave me with no magic...

Lords and Heroes

Warlord w/ halberd, shield and Portents of Verminous Doom

Warlock Engineer w/ 2 magic levels and a Doomrocket

Core

20 Clanrats w/ shields, FC and Poisoned Wind Mortar

20 Clanrats w/ shields, spears, FC and Warpfire Thrower

Special

2 Rat Ogres and a Master Moulder w/ Shock-Prod

Rare

Hellpit Abomination w/ Warpstone Spikes

Total = 999 pts
You can't make an omelet without ruthlessly crushing dozens of eggs under your steel-toed boots and then publicly disemboweling the chickens that laid them as a warning to others.

20 clanrats are only good at dying (they start to lose strengh in numbers after the first dead rats), make them one block of 40.

You need a BSB

If you are lucky, the HPA alone will simply eat the 1000 points of your opponent, if not, you have to rely on the doomrocket and the warpflamethrower, which are very very unreliable.

So do not expect this army to show a stable and predictable performance.

Thanks. And, yeah, I know I need a BSB. I'll add that when I get a box of Stormvermin, which should be soon...

As for reliability and stable performance, bah! I chose to play Skaven! If I wanted reliability I would've gone for those namby-pamby pansies known as High Elves :P
