1500 Moulderish with extra glitter

So I've been reading through the book far more than I should be, and this is my latest nonsense of a list...


Warlord (2#, 248 pts)
1 Warlord, 248 pts (General; Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour)
1 Rat Ogre Bonebreaker (Causes Fear; Stomp)
1 Warpstone Armor
1 Foul Pendant
1 Skalm

Warlock Engineer - L1 with Dispel Scroll (1#, 90 pts)

Warlock Engineer - L1 with Warp-Energy Condenser (1#, 85 pts)

BSB Chieftain with Shield and War Banner (1#, 97 pts)

35 Stormvermin /w Full Command (36#, 277 pts)

5 Rat Ogres with Master Moulder, 2 Packmaster, and Master Bred (8 models, 304 pts)

24 Skavenslaves /w Musician (50pts)

25 Skavenslaves /w Musician (52pts)

Rat Dart (6#, 23 pts)

Rat Dart (6#, 23 pts)

Hell Pit Abomination (1#, 250 pts) - Warpstone Spikes

Total- 1499pts

Typically, the warlord will join up with the unit of Rat Ogres for hammertime, BSB goes to kick it with the storm vermin, and the abom picks up the opposite flank from the ogre unit. Slaves protect the inside flanks for the stormers and the flankers, rat darts pick up the outside flanks to protect the abom and ogres from getting beat on in the flanks.

And yes, there are warlords in there, because nothing adds to the love like warp lightning getting tossed around

Warlord will get shot / cannoned / magiced to death as RO do not provide any protection being a different unit type.

The lack of a seer will mean that they others will face the same end once the warlord is dead.

At least use a Charmed Shield on the Bonebreaker guy.

My set on it is as follows:

Warlord (never general, to risky) on Bonebreaker with Charmed Shield, Foul Pendant and Sword of Swift Slaying 215 points.

Cheap and effective. Never had problems doing damage with this guy except that time he got splattered by a Trebuchet shot because some archers wasted my shield's ability. Otherwise he will do damage. The really good think with him is that, against even opponents like Empire playing gunlines, they can't afford powerful monsters to even get close. Of course they have Cannons for this, but then the Bonebreaker can flank them and cause damage easily. If they shoot at him, fine. No problem really. This has worked up until now.

Unfortunately since I don't have the points to cram a seer in there to take over as General, I sort of have to risk it =\

However, I did realize how awful his armor save was, so here is the warlords new kit-
Bonebreaker
Sword of Swift Slaying
Enchanted Shield
Foul Pendant
Tail Weapon (another ASF attack at the most common str/tough in the game)

Gives him ASF, and a 2+ armor save, 4+1 attacks, a 5+ ward, 6+ parry, and a rat ogre in a pear tree. This freed up 23 points so my slave units went up to 26 rats/ea and my stormvermin went up to 38 (37 + champ).

Well upgrade a warlock to lvl 2 and give him the staff of sorcerry then so he is a lvl 3 when dispelling. Would help a LOT.

Also you don't get the parry as well as your 5+ it's the 5+ or the parry so your going to go for the 5+

Only way to really do that is to take the stormvermin unit down to 35+champ, slaves units to 24 and 25 respectively, and to get rid of the dispell scroll and war banner.

Do you think that's the way to go?

I'd start with the Condenser it is a nice toy but not required.
Ditch the master breed upgrade
Ditch the war banner this will only help if your winning AND the enemy has no more steadfast.
Ditch the Abomb upgrade.

That should give you plenty of points to play around with you might even be able to keep the Master breed but I would put a ruby ring of ruin on your BSB for extra firepower in the magic phase.

Personally I don't think that you need high Armour Saves on him. You won't charge him into high Strength units anyway and a Charmed Shield will be much better at protecting him when it comes to Cannons. Those and Stone Throwers of any kind (except Scraplaunchers) are the things I am most afraid of. He has so far only died 2 times, the first time to that Trebuchet shot and the second to him failing a panic test which really should not have happened. (Opponent actually casted Black Horror so it touched him and the side of a unit of Slaves. It wounded him through massive amounts of unluckiness and then he ran the whole game of the table.)

*sigh*

I think your warlord both costs too much and should not be your general. I have one that cost 168pt, and does not have any of the defensive stuff. If it were me, I would buy a naked warlord as your general and put him in a bunker unit in that back. Then your bonebreaker warlord can run around and kill stuff like he is supposed to.
