I've always wanted a Skaven army since reading the 4th edition Skaven army book and attempted it around 6th or 7th edition and cried a lot from painting slaves. I think I'm ready to attempt it again Do it! Yes-yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That flag might be a little tone deaf considering the times we're currently living in. But I don't think they purposefully decided to reference ******. Black, red, and white have been Skaven primary colors since old Fantasy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting to mention that the Battleforces drop 10€ their price. here's hoping the suits finally realized you can shift more product by keeping it affordable... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeryenn Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 By more AoSification I mean more crazy models like Warlock Bombardier, Stormfiends, Hell Pit Abomination or Thanquol. They clearly stand out. But in the rumour there were some unit names that promise a bit of madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no imagery which connect it to a certain kind of abhorrent ideology. They're classic 'bad guy' colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarRotke Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 1 hour ago, Ejecutor said: Thinking about AoSification, I think there's one thing that we've missed. The fact that the clan now seems to be composed of the classic clan rats, Eshin and Pestilens. This one could be easily one from Pestilens and the other one from Eshin. yes, these new Clanrats are very explicitly made up of a bunch of (major) clans. which is my favorite detail about them!! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 2 hours ago, Aeryenn said: Too ordinary. Probably that's the intention but they lack "AoSification" for me. Maybe clan specific models will be more original. I am with you : too plain ! I was expecting some AoS restyle such the new ardboyz. Let's wait for stormvermin and skryre units but I think they sticked with legacy fantasy models. AoSsification not completed ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colours alone wouldn't make me think of that, thank god they didn't use this skaven rune in center on that flag though. I'm willing to give GW the benefit of the doubt but stuff like naming a character "Heinrich Kemmler" doesn't inspire a huge amount of faith I'll say. (I get that they're the bad guys but it's still pretty tone deaf if intentional imo) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah without the paint schemes I doubt it would be as noticeable (black hoods, pale green robes, red armour etc.), it'd be cool if clanrats could be assigned to different clans and get special rules for it, like if your regiment leader is a plague monk, your clanrats get a plague debuff aura or a FNP save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrac Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Also, the articles from Warcom, on skavens, from Age of Sigmar, dated this year, today, some mere days ago, talk about diferent particular specific clans and the Council of Thirteen.

Kronos Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 On 3/11/2024 at 10:02 PM, Kronos said: This. Clanrats are a Solid Kit, so much more needs attention - Rat Ogres, Skaven Really need a Rat Ogre kit with the quality and Size of the Kroxigor Kit. Humble Pie I’ve eaten today.…it is in fact the new Clanrats that are a Solid Kit, keep em coming. Can’t wait to turn the whole lot into Skaven Zombies. I remember when the Island of Blood Clan Rats were released in 2010. I remember sitting at my room in Uni thinking “these are the best models they’ve ever made” - Crazy what 14 years of Technology can do. Imagine how good Malerion and his Aelves will look when they’re released in 80 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
