Riff_Raff_Rascal Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I just want to wish all of you a well played year of the Rat. We did good. Carried that plague 'erwhere. I'll take-steal all of the credit of course. As you might expect, only the strongest, the most brilliant of us will draw the attention of the Great Horned One!

Lord Krungharr Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 What do people think of think of this Skryre army list idea? Arch Warlock 2 Warlock Engineers 3 Stormfiends (Ratling Cannons/Windlaunchers/Doomflayer Gauntlets) 2x5 Acolytes 1 Warpgrinder 1 Doom-flayer 1 Doomwheel 1 Warp Lightning Cannon 2x6 Jezzails Warpcog Convocation/Arkhspark Voltik/Whyrlblade Threshyk 4 drops and pretty shooty, with some pop-up tricks via Warp Grinder w Stormfiends and the Gnawholes. Could be fun? Not sure what the best Command Trait/Relics would be for it, but I do like the Warp Lightning Shield and More-More-Warp Power spells. Or should I stick with 3 units of Stormfiends for battleline, drop the Warpgrinder (cuz the Stormfiends can take Grinderfists), drop the Acolytes and Jezzails, and take another Doomwheel.....and have a 1 drop army? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocKeule Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think you might run into trouble with mobile opponents charging most of your missile units turn two because you have little to screen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looks great but like @DocKeule mentioned, you might find it troubling fighting against fast armies like beasts of chaos, Ironjawz etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Good points all. I've come to realize how important screen units are. My crappy Gors saved the Bullgors when my Khorne Beasts fought full monster Mawtribes. At that point I think I would need to go more mixed Skaven then, which would open up some other cool unit options (I really like Plague Priests, been using them as allies for a while for Azgorh and Khorne). Back to the drawing board! Still, feel like I should have at least 1 unit of Stormfiends regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocKeule Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 They can be pretty strong under the right circumstances. I just added six during the holidays plus some other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 After I sell off some of my old why-I-have-this stuff then I can get the Stormfiends and other things. With luck my FLGS will have more in stock by then too 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Is a 1-eye Grunnock mercenary mega-gargant worth taking with Skaven? I was thinking that plus a horde could be kinda cool and useful. The biggest distraction 'carnifex' possible! Or too many points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if: 1)Give it a generic artifact, so it doesn't completely derp and 2) the model is completley kitbashed to form some skaven city-smashin' robot. Any other way betrays the betrayal one often betrays in skaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or too many points? 480 points is a lot and you have no synergies with the rest of your army. 35 wounds on the mega-gargant sounds a lot until you see the 4+ save. For 40 points more you get six stormfiends who could probably cut a gargant down in a turn rolling well. I you like the idea just for fun go for it though.

Lord Krungharr Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 As it just so happens, I have an idea for a mega-construct.....I think I'll go for it. But I agree, 6 Stormfiends could probably 1-round a mega-G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocKeule Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I just got my hands on a reasonably prices Thanquol and a verminlorn. I will be painting a lot the next couple of weekends and then pretty much have my army completed. Edit: I don't think I will run those two too much (at least not outside casual games) but since Thanquol is the only named skaven character I wanted one and if I run my screaming bell I would want a verminlord just in case I summon one rolling a 12.

Oh you should definitely run them all! Those with however many Clan Rats you can fit would be pretty awesome. And they wouldn't suffer battleshock, or almost never. Dreaded Warpgale along with the Warp Lightning Vortex is super good, and the big dudes would give you some punch vs enemy heroes besides magic.

I would recommend using Shapeways if you don't have a local source for 3D printing. Sometimes local libraries have printers but they're usually the PLA filament types, better for big things like terrain sized pieces. I just ordered some Plague Monks for Acoylte conversions.....have some spare heads from the Plague Catapult (gasmask heads), then I'll use bits from IG vehicles or something for the back packs (hard to find Arkanaut backpacks as separate cheapo bits).

Lord Krungharr Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The gnawholes certainly look super cool with the upper wooden parts! I have seen many that did not have those. I'll be using mine for a Skaveny One-Eyed Grunnock construct. Gotta get a Thanquol. Love that model. What do people think is best to arm him with? All Warpfire, all braziers, or a mix? Or does it depend on what else is in the army? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocKeule Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The wodden beams are a drag to glue together but it looks more impressive that the gnawhole by itself. I shortened the parts a little though. Otherwithe I would not have gotten them in my transport case together. I baught my Thanquol second hand and already built but for me 50:50 is okay. Against another horde army I might play him as having more warpfire generators but the he is pretty weak in melee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine GW replacing that model in the next update, but that way I’m not stuck with the less cool configuration if the rules change.

DocKeule Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think clarifying the setup on your list or at the beginning of the game should never be a problem. Especially whet it is the same kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Squeak. So corona, lockdown and everything else actually deterred me from any hobby this year and apparently the last time I checked this thread, @Gwendarwas confidently looking forward to NOVA back in March. So almost a year on, where do we stand, furry compadres? How fares that mighty race of noble rats in the current WarHam landscape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what type of material/plastic I should purchase. For Shapeways tiny detailed models, I like the Smooth Fine Detail Plastic. It's more expensive but way better for bits: Cataphractii Iron Helmets Carapaces Warhammer 30k (KM5V7JRWX) by CarvedMetal (shapeways.com) However, for cost, since they're bigger models with the bodies, I'd probably go with White Processed Versatile Plastic. It's got good strength and pretty good flexibility, however the surface is definitely a bit grainier than the Smooth Fine Detail Plastic. You can upload your files to Shapeways after making an account and then the automated system will tell you how much the model will be in various materials. You can probably get one in silver or gold if you're feeling deluxe (always wanted to do that with an Eldar Wraith-dude of some sort). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
