Want ing to play wwysiwyg is fine and all but take a moment to look at your lord. The one extra strength three attack is not btter than the 2 d6 strength 2 attacks tat ignore armour. You want to win right. well it if bothers you cut it off. lose the rusted armour if you need too. also keep in mind that armour of destiny is a 4+ armour save plus mounted plus the rusted armour equals 1+ armour save. N-ow look you came to us looking for advice we are giving it too you. What we are telling you is how to play skaven efficiently. So take our advice or don't but don't give us excuses like well it on the model. Then cut the bloody thing off. The iob engineer has a halberd and a pistol ight. Cut the blade off the halberd and attatch a smal-l rocket to it. Second remove the pistol and model a little finder pointing bam! thats what I did all it took me was like 10 min. And as for tail weapons, man the suck.

My lord: 1) Alright I will play without the tail in 1500pts or less, possibly altogether but not guaranteed . 2) Armour of Destiny replaces his base heavy armour and gives him a 4+ ward totaling in 3+AS and 4+Ward, the Talisman of Preservation is worn together with his base heavy armour totalling in 3+AS and 4+Ward, the Talisman is five pts less for the same effect, the armour of destiny is only taken on models with heavy armour or better if you need the Talisman of Preservation for an other model, like say your wizard lord.

My Engineer: I know the engineer has a warlock augumented weapon (a halberd connected to his backpack which fits the fluff for warlock augumented weapons perfectly) and I will replace it with some sort of rocket launcher (haven't found one yet) but the pistol is way too cool to replace and 8pts isn't too much to pay to get: Magical attacks (don't forget that pistols are closecombat weapons too), magic ranged attack and an extra attack in CC. But mainly I think it's cool and I want it even if it's sub-par.

No it's not. It's a heavy armour that confers a 4+ wardsave. That's it. No 4+ Armoursave.

Fenris,

Armor of Destiny is Heavy Armor that grants a 4+ Ward Save. It's a still just a 5+ Armor save because it's still just heavy armor (not a 4+ armor save).

Also;

What does skaven have access to that does:

?

Banner of the Underempire is all I can think of, and that does not ignore armor saves.

The Brood Horror does that when it dies.

Also, if I may ask, is this thing intend solely for Storm of Magic?

Make sense, I don't know anything about the BroodHorror.

I didn't even think it was Storms of Magic, I thought it was Forgeworld ruled and crafted (I think still meaning it needs opponent's permission to play)

Yeah he said it. brood horror can get an upgrade for a breath attack. And yeah I wasn't the one who wrote the last post, though I did dictate it, he wrote it wrong. He being the roommate. so yea the armour of destiny is a 5+ armour save.
