Good question🤔. Well back to painting my 200++clanrats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZakalwe Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I've painted exactly 5 clanrats so far of this army and one of them got repainted twice then stripped and repainted twice more until I was happy with a fast method of painting. Then it's time for mass batch painting! Not entirely sure how I'm going to do the bases yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5kaven5lave Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I’m playing low model count Skryre because, well, they’re amazing, which will give me time to paint up Clanrats if I end up wanting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirjava13 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The wording with regard to Clan battleline is as follows. A unit like Skryre Acolytes is "Battleline in Skaventide army if general is MASTERCLAN or CLANS SKRYRE, and all other units are CLAN SKRYRE". To me, that reads like 100% of your army must be Skryre, for example. My local store manager is in disbelief that the rule would be written like that and seems convinced it does not apply to allies. We will see, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Honestly I think someone goofed as well. It seems really odd for them to make it so that pure clans can't have any allies at all. Esp for anyone running a Pestilens army and wanting some Nurgle. Whilst I'm all for GW supporting pure armies and they've done really well with AoS in avoiding the soup issues of 40K (granted that's mostly just marines); I'd still expect them to be able to take some allies from another clan.

Xelotath Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Is it not the case with most armies though? Like Putrid Blightkings are battleline in a pure Nurgle army and to be a Nurgle army all units must have the keyword. Then allies are a seperate thing, if nothing else I feel that’s the way it’s intended but it’s certainly not written in a clear enough manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By increasingly you mean every release. And honestly its BETTER than the past when the FAQ came years later (if it came at all). Heck I recall more than once the FAQ arrived just before GW released a new rules edition! So you finally got the FAQ and updates you were after for a rules system that was being dumped in favour of a a new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 It winds me up a bit that these things slip through while the writers are on their podcast talking about how in-depth their rules writing is and how much peer review there supposedly is. I know everyone involved is only man-things, just does nothing to dispel any cynicism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly a lot of the slipups and style of writing are I think the result of the issue that many of their rules writers play "as intended" without realising it; with things not being caught because they keep things so closed shop that review happens by too isolated a team. Sisters of Battle might be interesting for GW as its their first time attempting anything like an open rules beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ok something positive: there is a really cool piece of artwork depicting the way the Skaven burrow out from Blight City across the realms. It's figurative and I love the style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to be realistic here, there’s very little chance they’ll faq such a massive rule that defines the army. It’s not a misprint and there’s no way they didn’t understand the implications of such specific wording. I think the rule is obtuse but it must be the result of playtesting and there’s something they want to avoid. Probably Skryre with Clanrats I guess.

Honestly, if they can just crank out decent quality Battletomes for all the other factions at a good rate then I can stand even a dozen typos. It's not ideal but at this point in time I'd rather have something on par with modern AoS with mistakes, than wait another 3 years for something better.

It's just an irritation, but I would rather have the book than not. Sky Skaven Spotted! Clan Skryre has definitely got flying machines of their own. Arch-Warlock Steelklaw has his own skyfleet: "Built around cannibalised Kharadron craft and the fevered designs that have poured from Steelklaw's mind, dozens of armoured dirigibles, lightning-ships, warpfire barges and klawbombers take to the sky." The best bit? It's called "The Much-Great Sky-Kill Air Armada" 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
