First Attempt at a 3k list that will keep me competitive against O&G, Bretts, WoC, DE, HE, Dwarfs, WE, Ogres.... basically all comers.. lol LORDS Grey Seer - 515 Earthing Rod, Shadow Magnet Trinket, Ironcurse Icon, WarpMusket, Screaming Bell. Queek Headtaker - 215 HEROES Chieftain ( BSB ) - 87 Shield, Warplock Musket Warlock Engineer - 65 Skavenbrew ( with Queek and Stormvermin ) Warlock Engineer - 45 Doomrocket CORE 38 Stormvermin -- 514 Queeks Stormvermin, Fangleader, Mus, Std. Bearer ( Razor Std. ), Shields 40 Clanrats -- Bell Unit -- 285 Clawleader, Mus, Std. Bearer, spear, shield, Poisoned Wind Mortar 40 Clanrats -- 290 Clawleader, Mus, Std. Bearer, spear, shield, Warp Fire Thrower 40 Skavenslaves -- 80 40 Skavenslaves -- 80 6 Giant Rats -- 23 Packmaster 6 Giant Rats -- 23 Packmaster SPECIAL 3 Warplock Jezzails -- 90 Sharpshooter 3 Warplock Jezzails -- 90 Sharpshooter 5 Poisoned Wind Globadiers -- 50 RARE Doomwheel -- 150 Warp-Lightning Cannon - 90 Warp-Lightning Cannon - 90 Hell Pit Abomination - 235 2997 Pts Total Lords 730/750 Hero 197/750 Core 1249/750+ Spec. 210/1500 Rare 565/750 Total Models - 230 Any comments/advice are appreciated.... I'm far from married to this list, starting a BiB Campaign in a month or so to use it with..... have approx. 70% built and primed, 30% to buy still..... mostly slaves etc.... I am mostly worried abt. Warmachines, but have never used Gutter runners... are they that good at dealing with War Machines/Casters, how many per unit do you take, how many units, and what would you drop to have them?

Gutter runners are amazing war machine/lone caster hunters. I always give them poison and occasionally slings. 5 is fine if you sneak them in the back door and hit war machines. I like the list itself but with one huge question. WHY the warpmusket on the seer and chieftain. The seer is only BS3 and if the unit moves you need a 5+ to hit. It just seems to be a waste. The chieftain maybe you can argue, but i just see a waste of points. |

Actually the musket is even worse than that because it's a move or fire weapon, so you won't be hitting anything with it if you move. |

I see the point to the Warpmuskets being unnecessary. I had them initially before I split my Jezzails into 2 units of 3 with each having a champ. I save 30 pts. Dropping both of the muskets.... Edited the list.... I dropped both Warpmuskets, and the 2 Rat Darts, and added a unit of 5 Gutter Runners with slings and poison. I am new to Rat darts, I figure if I have to redirect frenzied troops, I can use the Globadiers or the doomrocket engineer.... would like to fit a warpgrinder in for kicks, but you can't have EVERY cool looking shiny toy in a list...lol |

LORDS Grey Seer - 515 Earthing Rod, Shadow Magnet Trinket, Ironcurse Icon, WarpMusket, Screaming Bell. drop all this gear but the earthing rod, the bell is the thing getting shot at, not its unit, and it already has a 4+ ward save. Queek Headtaker - 215 meh HEROES Chieftain ( BSB ) - 87 Shield, Warplock Musket drop musket Warlock Engineer - 65 Skavenbrew ( with Queek and Stormvermin ) good Warlock Engineer - 45 Doomrocket good CORE 38 Stormvermin -- 514 Queeks Stormvermin, Fangleader, Mus, Std. Bearer ( Razor Std. ), Shields good, I don't personally like queekvermin, I find they under preform for there really heavy points cost (and they still only have one attack) 40 Clanrats -- Bell Unit -- 285 Clawleader, Mus, Std. Bearer, spear, shield, Poisoned Wind Mortar spears should go, unnecessary points as you dont want the bell in combat. 40 Clanrats -- 290 Clawleader, Mus, Std. Bearer, spear, shield, Warp Fire Thrower you still don't want spears, 40 Skavenslaves -- 80 good, but i prefer 50 if naked. get these guys musicians also, will help a lot with reforms. 40 Skavenslaves -- 80 as above 6 Giant Rats -- 23 Packmaster giant rats are good re directors, they are also twice as cheep as globes (who are really not all that effective, you have a lot of good high strength and armor ignoring weapons already so keep these darts and drop globes instead. 6 Giant Rats -- 23 Packmaster as above SPECIAL 3 Warplock Jezzails -- 90 Sharpshooter jezzails are iffy at best, they have terrible accuracy and are abysmal at earning their points back. 3 Warplock Jezzails -- 90 Sharpshooter as above 5 Poisoned Wind Globadiers -- 50 see slaves comments RARE Doomwheel -- 150 Warp-Lightning Cannon - 90 Warp-Lightning Cannon - 90 Hell Pit Abomination - 235 rares are good 2997 Pts Total Lords 730/750 Hero 197/750 Core 1249/750+ Spec. 210/1500 Rare 565/750 Total Models - 230|300, this needs to change, you need to find a way to fit at lest 50 more models in this list. your probably spending to many points on queek and vermin. |
