Clanrats on rounds are... weird. But stormvermin really were born for bigger bases. Also, I have like 100-150ish more rats that need rebasing but now theyre not a priority since its enough with these fellas. That’s awesome😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrac Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 8 hours ago, Lord Krungharr said: That's dedication! I did that to a bunch of Dark Aelves and it was....tricky. I ended up just using metal shears to cut the flat part of the old squares out and gluing that to rounds after shearing off a few feet. Then they get a 'tactical' rock to stand on. I'm gonna wait to build do more Skaven until the next tome in the summer this year. Who knows what it may bring?!?! Yes, it's what I did with the stormvermin (can't be apreciated because of the ****** quality of my camera lmao) Alltho, half of these guys were easy to rebase since they come from the IoB box, and I had a lot of round bases with the straight holes already made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff_Raff_Rascal Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Has anyone checked in with our maggotkin allies? I'm lookin for some tech to add behind our back lines. I've been re-inspired since grabbing Skabbik's Plaguepack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best units as alloes from that range gor us are either the nurgling swarms or the underworld warbands. As one can be used as infiltraders quit easily that take-still objectives from the beginning. the other units just kinda works one here own pretty well. i could also see some blightlords as an option as they give us a horde killing ability at the end of the combat phase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Looks like Gutrot Spume and 5 Blight Kings come in at 390 points. That would make a very meaty bunch to outflank to the enemy backfield edge. Is it correct we have to have a Pestilens General to take Maggotkin allies though? Guess a Plague Furnace is pretty solid. I like the Nurgling idea too though. They're super annoying!

Riff_Raff_Rascal Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 These days the Furnace is in a great spot since it can push itself now, and thus makes it a more enticing candidate for your general. Makes better use of our artifacts over the Corrupter as well. That said, the I believe the best that maggotkin have to offer is the Sloppity Bile-Piper and may give a good excuse to run a Verminlord Corrupter (piper's ability only requires Nurgle Demon). Nurglings are funny but for the same points/role I'd rather use Gutter Runners personally. The Gutrot and Blightkings is fine for some punch but remember they're still squishy without their 5+ ward. Perfectly viable if you use them as a counter punch behind a screen of rats. Perhaps ambush them on a side objective and use a tunnel team to create a screen of clanrats? Phulgoth’s Shudderhood is also an option for some toughness and some flying units. You can sidestep the pestilens general requirement because its an army of renown. It has a resistance to shooting which would diversify our defenses. The troops themselves are just meat shields, the blightkings will still give you that anti-horde, but that Harbinger of decay hero is spicy. Lots of potential with that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the furnace is pretty awesome and unlike our screening bell it is used quit lore accurate, which I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff_Raff_Rascal Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What about Thryx's Coven Regiment of Renown? The parchment curse along along with a Plagueclaw Catapult seems like good synergy. Sure the upfront cost is steep, the regiment is actually a major discount for what Tzeentch has to pay. The Burning Sigil is also a nice back-up Warp-Lightning Vortex with summoning if you were already running 3 endless spells in your list anyways. The really interesting interaction is Skaven's ability to hurt friendly models to proc the free unbindable spell cast per the regiments Profane Potential ability. We have the unreliable Plague Priest warscroll prayer that affects all units in an AOE or the absolutely atrocious Chain Warp Lightning spell from our Warpvolt Spell lore. Still, use the old book while we can I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Saw this on my local Discord. I was like WOW. Wish I'd have kept my Skryre megagargant so they could have brawled. Not that I think the One-Eyed Grunnock is good, but still, it shores up a bit of a weakness in our ranks maybe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I emailed GW about removing Behemoth from the Doomwheel yesterday. I said that Allopexes and Khorgoraths are 8 wounds and not Behemoths, so neither should the Doomwheel be one. Or the other ones should be Behemoths. I also told them I am looking forward to buying 12 more Doomwheels in the summer. Hoping that makes them take my suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Man, that is really lame. Maybe this summer they'll make up for it with many many new plastic sculpts. Though I did just buy a box of the old Night Runners from my FLGS. Hope it comes with 20 of them? I didn't check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filius Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Greetings-Salutations, dear fellow Masterminds, when I started my Skaven Army I plannend on running Jezzails in bigger Units (and thus have quite some bits for them) for more reliability. But I noticed that you can only run them in Sizes of 3 now, which reduces buffing them quite a bit. So … are there any synergies with other units (esp. for buff) when running more the 3 Jezzails / more the one unit of them? Thanks-gratitude, in advance, yes, yes … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'd say a Warlock Engineer or Arch Warlock would be a must have for More-More-Warp-Power for the +1 hit/+1 wound AND then in the shooting phase use a Warpspark to give the Jezzails +1 damage. And IIRC the Warpspark for shooting can nominate up to 3 units to get +1 damage to their missile weapons. Been a while since I've used my Skaven.

Filius Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Thanks! But you can only More-More-Warp-Power for one Unit per Round, right? Which is kinda sad to give it just to three Jezzails. On the other hand … I just don't have any other Skryer Units with Missile Weapons currently, hehe … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Yeah that's true for MMWP. Better on either 15 Acolytes or a big old unit of Storm Fiends. But an Arch Warlock is just plain good...2 cast wizard w 3- armor and if you juice HIM up he can be a combat blender if you're lucky . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I am very hopeful that in the next iteration of we rat-folk that if/when we blow up, we take others with us like the golden-sky-men, or blood-red-maniacs do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
