Wolf Rats Tactics

[Filius]

Heho, fellow non-existend rodentpeople …

… my Skaven Army is growing slowly but steadily … next up on my desk will 10 Wolf Rats, I bought two years ago.

Now I wonder a bit how to play them, as their speed make Packmasters and Master Moulder leave behind. Is there any "trick" to get some buffing for them? I already thought about adding a heroe from Anvil of Apotheosis (which is a valid choice for mir, because I only play casual), but he would be quite expensive for only little buff …

Thanks in advance!

They are pretty quick, sadly I don't have any experience with them to share but I recently got a few for fun (don't think they are match play legal) and I can at least share my plan with them

Just a simple hammer and anvil- screen master moulder up the table behind clanrats, wolf rats behind too- once clanrats are about to anvil use the speed of wolf rats to flank around the enemy and then move moulder if needed to keep the 12" bubble
Would be nice to hit on 2+ for a change

I play quite often (in the before times...) with 2 units of 5 in my Moulder army. 

I find its their speed which is their greatest asset, using it to grab some extra objectives turn 1, and nab some undefended ones later in the game too.

For this reason I tend not to get them into combat too much, and they often work outside of Master Moulder bubbles. But because they get +1 to hit when they charge they can still be a threat to wizards and missile infantry that get left undefended on the back line.

If you occasionally find them within the Master Moulder's whipping range, then even better!

Ah. Both tips are great ideas! Ah, that makes me even keener on building them!

Thanks a-many-lot-lot!
