Vandrare Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi everyone, I've got a couple of threads going at the moment just trying to work out what to do army wise. I already have a 2000 point Skaven army, fully painted, battle ready but I have had to use chaos warriors as a battle line to avoid painting 60 clanrats. Now that all the clans are split up into groups.. how can I make a competitive Skaven list, without painting so so so many rats and also encoporating most of the clans? I just don't think it is possible. Someone please help me with a competitive 2000 points Skaven list that makes sense in age of Sigmar. I really like verminus and skyre cheers Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll look at a total model count of less than 50 though, which for any Skaven list is downright crazy. Whether it's the good kind of crazy remains to be seen, but it'll save you the trouble of building a horde at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugane Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm currently thinking about a list with just 1 unit of 3 stormfiends and 2 small units of acolytes to meet battleline requirement. I kind of want a 9x Jezzails + Warplightning cannons crew to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugane Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 New verminus shadespire unit's warscroll is partly revealed: I am actually quite excited about this and looking forward what he's able to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want Stormfiends to count as Battleline, you need to remain Skryre Allegiance, so 1600 of your 2000 has to be Skryre. So, no, you can't take the other 800 points as Verminus and call it good. Unless you have 3 units of Clanrats... Basically, there is no way, currently, for a pure Skaven list to mix and match clans without Clanrats. Only 20% of your army can be allies unless you go Grand Alliance Chaos. So, focus on one clan, or deal with at least 60 Clanrats. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally take some small units of reavers instead of skaven to fill some battleline requirements, especially since smaller units are just fodder anyways. So far it seems ok-ish, even though not as skaven purist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
