hobgoblinclub Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Planning to add some big toys to my skaven. If I get a verminlord, which one should I build? Opinions about gaming effectiveness and the look of the thing equally welcome. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Deceiver or Warpseer. Warpseer can kill 6 Temple Guard in first turn with its ranged attack - also has a 26 inch range spell. Deceiver can teleport and shred key heroes with -3 rend. Corruptor has a useful Command Ability, but otherwise poor. Warbringer and Skreech are both good with large blocks of Clanrats and Stormvermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Annoyingly Deceiver and Warpseer together sounds good. Can skitterleap the warpseer to where his 6 mortal wound orb can do the most damage to the enemies well laid plan (bye bye vexilor/castellant/wizard/priest/bloodsecrator/etc) Picking just one though the Deceiver is hard to beat. Movement shenanigans and equal best rend in game make him the winner IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiallJC1984 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The shooting attack can be a bit hit or miss (pun intended) but the Warp Stiletto with -3 rend is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've only used the Corruptor and she's not done anything of use yet. The complete lack of rend and a subpar Command Ability let her down. So I'd recommend against that build. I'm likely to convert/rebuild my model so I can use a different Verminlord's rules (one of those listed above already).

Nico Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The shooting attack in question is a once per game automatic 6 mortal wounds. However, Verminlords are not "Skaven Heroes" so you cannot Skitterleap them (other than the VLD to itself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Haha, yeah they lack the skaven keyword, never noticed that before, very amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 They are demons, not skaven Though there should perhaps be a "skaven demon" or something keyword to differentiate the Verminlords from other Chaos Demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
