What could Clan Moulder get?

[hobgoblinclub]

I think the battletome I'd most like to see is Battletome: Moulder. It's frustrating as a Moulder player that there's very little to pick from. The warscroll battalion Moulder Clawpack requires six packmasters, making it useless in matched play, as there's no room for any other characters. And, frustratingly the Warlord on Brood Horror is verminus.

First up, I think it needs a hero that's worthy of being the general. Maybe something like the old warlords riding rat ogres or pox rats, but taken to an extreme for AoS. What you could do that'd set it apart from the Thanquol model or the Warlord on Brood Horror I mentioned, I'm not sure. Could something fly out of the Moulder breeding puts? 

Giant rats as battleline is next to useless, unless you take them in little units and swamp the board. I'm not sure I want to play that sort of list though. Rat ogres as battleline? It'd be fantastic to see a new kit with an alternative build. I'm thinking one for combat and another with the warpfire guns. 

Wolf rat cav? I know cavalry isn't very 'skaven' but it's a new era. They'd definitely look cool, with the riders desperately clinging on. 

Finally, just more monsters! Whatever the warlord rides, there should be the option to have it unridden too. 

So three kits (large monster with rider, new rat ogres, and wolf rat cav) and a battletome please. I'd buy the lot. It'd make for a smash in the face play style in two waves. The cav and giant rats race across the tie up units and grab early objectives, while the monsters and rat ogres follow in to smash the aforementioned face. 

Skaven players, what would you like to see?

that sounds good, tho eshin kind of has the same issue, only 4 units to choose from. but unlike the possibility's available to moulder, there isn't much that can be done to eshin. but for moulder some flying ratty goodness would be awesome to see. along with some new big monsters.

One question is whether Stormfiends would be in the battletome.  They are filed under the Skryre section in the app/online but do have the Moulder keyword.  I'm not sure how these cases work.

While we're at it, give Thanquol both the Moulder and Skryre keywords as well.

As for monsters; rat ogors, stormfiends, HPA.  There's enough there that they wouldn't necessarily have to make a new unit, but agree that a rat ogor kit would likely be on the cards.

They mainly need a new character that isn't a generic packmaster.

Definitely, a new character is the priority. Two preferably: a warlord and a wizard.

Didn't notice stormfiends were Moulder! Checked when the scrolls first came out and must have missed it! Must have assumed they were like the Warlord on Brood Horror, where they should've had it but didn't. Weird that they've not put them in the Moulder section in the app. It'd certainly pad the Battletome out.

The app totally needs a keyword search function.

Stormfiends are something of a joint Moulder-Skryre project, I suppose, but those heavy weapons don't quite fit with all of my mutated giant rats and modified rat ogres armed exclusively with blades and clubs. I definitely would like to see a pure Moulder battletome... Without Gatling guns!

What about a character or unit type which features modified stomachs which projectile vomit for ranged attack? Gross, I agree, but it fits the Clan theme better than rotary cannons strapped to the chests of Stormfiends. [emoji12]

I don't find the guns that unmouldery. Rat ogres themselves can take warpfire guns. I'm just in the process of modelling all of mine with them.

I'd love to see them get a giant Rat Orge/Stormfiend of some kind, similar to Thanquol I guess with the option to be ridden by various characters.

As someone mentioned before, some sort of Rat Cavalry would be cool as well, a unit of broodhorrors would look awesome.

Was it Wayne Kemp recently who put a plague monk on a wolf raf?

Regardless, a big monster kit with options (ridden/unridden etc.) would be something I'd buy more than one of.

Cavalry seem almost a nobrainer to me but they could definitely use some specialist monsters. The HPA covers the generic beatdown monster niche but something with shooting, tunneling or somesuch would be cool. Some kind of infantry sized Forsaken-style unit could also work for them (think mutated slaves). The Giant Rat and Rat Ogre models really look dated and need an update as well.

I've got to say Skaven are my first and true love but I don't like anything that gets big besides the bell. I like to keep it a horde. Also prefer no guns in Moulder.

I agree with the above, some sort of half-rat, half-Skaven mutant kit could be a pretty cool core unit. Like some of those little giant rats that look like centaurs but larger and even more deformed. Tunnelling specialty for the army for sure. Maybe a regenerative theme like the HPA or skeletons.
