WeedAndWargames Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'm new to Skaven after recently picking up the spire of dawn box set. Just wondering what people think the next step is in terms of infantry for my army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Clio Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 More clanrats. Then more clanrats. And some stormvermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eocosa Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You have a very good basic force of Skaven and have several options on where to take your force from here. You can continue with more clanrats, add some stormvermin, and go Clan Verminus, but unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you view it), they do not have any unique abilities being strictly verminus. Therefore, if you go as strictly Chaos Alliegence you can really add anything Skaveny (or just chaos) that strikes your fancy. Like the look of the ninja rats (eshin)? Get some. Want to ring a giant bell of doom? Pick one up! You can go down the Clan Skryre route and get some stormfiends, acolytes, and weapon teams and just use your clanrats as allies too if you do choose! I guess the real question is are you looking to be super competitive? Having an answer there can allow for more specific advice otherwise you have a wonderful core of a fun army and can play with it and expand as you like!

TheOtherJosh Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Don't forget that units get +1 bravery for each increment of 10 models in the unit at the point that the Battleshock roll is made (per the rules) . (I forget that one all the time ...) but, larger units are better for low bravery. Use of inspiring presence helps as well if you're loosing rats to Battleshock.

WeedAndWargames Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Cheers for that information guys, I like the idea of just using all kinds of chaosy things. After doing some more reading today I recon some more clanrats and stormvermin will be next! I need the numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make sure you also check out the forgeworld selection of rats as they have some cool models https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Warhammer-Age-of-Sigmar?N=2767298007+178633434&Nr=AND(product.locale%3Aen_NL_fw%2Csku.siteId%3ANL_fw)&Nrs=collection()%2Frecord[product.startDate+<%3D+1504732680000+and+product.endDate+>%3D+1504732680000] Also if your new to Age of Sigmar all together, don't forget the app. It's a great tool to look through the options with.
