Relentless Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 What up all so I'm in 2 minds at the mo... Starting age of sigmar from 30k and deciding between Beast Claw and Skaven at the moment Just looking for some input on my proposed Skaven route to see if it's viable, fun to play with and fun to play against. First 1000 pts verminlord deciever 20 X clanrats 20 X clan rats rattling gun team ratling gun team 20 X storm vermin .....adding the following for 1500 warp Lightning cannon stormfiends with warp fire projectors .....and then to 2000 10 X clanrats Arch warlocok another 3 storm fiends (not sure what to arm with) I like the idea of Skaven over Beastclaw curently as there's a lot more choice at lower points levels and I really love the asthetics of the big fiends/vermin lords/thanqol. I also fancy being a bit more shooty as I'm used to playing world eaters in 30k Down side is I'd have to paint a lot more, but I would be able to do it in the 3 points stages above do would be a nice project I feel with plenty of gaming in between Would love thoughts on the lists and any tips you have on being a dirty rat! thanks guys!

Dez Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I love Skaven. It's the army that grabbed me right off the bat for Warhammer. I also love a fighty/Eshin list with a dash of Skryre, so what you have here appeals to me. The only thing I'd consider is seeing if you can take a Skaven Warlord, give him a crown of command to make both of your Clan Rat units or Stormvermin Immune to Battleshock (inspiring presence). Giving the Stormvermin an additional attack is also great. I love Stormvermin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 50 clanrats isn't too bad. If you don't want to paint that many, maybe run them in 10s. I'm currently building a skaven army and I'm only taking the minimum 30. That way they might grab an objective but I'm not fussed if they die. Units of 20 will be more susceptible to battleshock anyway, unless you spend more points protecting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 What else do you include in the army with 30 clan rats? Also, is the vermin King worth taking over the Lord? It's only an extra 20 pts from the deciever. Obviously the 13 spell is tough to get off and there's no skitter leap, but being able to add plus 1 to hits or wounds seems pretty decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm building 16 rat ogres. They're nice and smashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The Deceiver is thought of as the best of them, I'd stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 And what's your opinion in the warp lightning gun? I know it's random but could be fun... or are points better spent elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I wouldn't leave home without it. Perhaps 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
