Hi guys, Some local 40k players are simply tired and switched to fantasy... unfortunately, I don't own any models, so i asked a friend to borrow his and so far so good, but his models are still on sprue and quite limited. So here's the idea of a list i came up with, using IoB and Battle box models (and lot of rank filling !) Grey Seer. 240 Battle standart bearer, Stormbanner, shield. 122 Engineer, lvl 2, generator. 115 Engineer (for slaves) Engineer (for slaves) 40 storm vermin, full command, razor banner. 350 40 plague monks, full command, plague banner. 335 20 Clanrats, full command. 100 50 Slaves, Mus. 102 50 Slaves, Mus. 102 1500 pts (1496) From what I've read on some forums, the way to go with Skaven according to shooting is include some (warmachines mainly and some gutters for countering the enemy) or Storm banner, forbidding both players shooting, but for us it's a choice.. as I have a limited range of models, I went the banner way. If i were to spend money on these, it would be on 2x HPA and then some upgrades on the engineer to reach 2000 pts. What do you think ? Is this a viable list considering the limited models I have ? Also would cannon be a better choice ? (as storm banner doesn't block them from shooting) |

Seems like a reasonable list. I probably wouldn't bother with a Lvl2 Warlock Engineer when you're running a Grey Seer. Also, some gear on the Grey Seer wouldn't go astray. Also, I'm fairly sure Stormbanner screws up our ability to fire the Warp-lightning Cannon. |

The lvl 2 is there to make sure I get all the spells I want, and the stormbanner specifies that it blocks any non-magical shooting attacks which doesn't require a ballistic test on a 4+. Doesn't our WLC have warp stone ammunition ? |
