Flood Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 @Tretch I have a thanquol boneripper. Although he's fun and decent, he costs too many points. You can do a lot more with 500 points that would be far more efficient. If like you said you just want to focus on having fun and using cool models, then go for it. I Love mine. But know that your army might get weaker with him. Just a warning. I think @Dez would agree about thanquol? I think I've heard him say the same in past.

Dez Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have one too He is a great distraction piece. I think you could do something with him and Sayl and Deceiver. Leaves you high in threat low in points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitterleaped Thanquol onto the enemies objective, collect points and explode all the things with warpfire. Now granted, thats 820 points for two models and 25 wounds...but it was still a fun trick to pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I will beef up my Stormvermin. I only have 20 for now, so will plan to use this for 1.5 @Dez Oh it is filthy. Verminus Clawpack 80 Warlord 100 Tretch 100 Arch Warlock 140 20 Stormvermin 280 30 Clanrats 180 10 Clanrats 60 10 Clanrats 60 3 Warpfire Throwers 180 Stormfiends 300 1480. I really wanted to take a full unit of 40 Clanrats. However, think how I have the numbers with the Stormvermin. Ive decided to cut 10 clanrats for an Arch Warlock because I think he'd be more valuable at 1.5k I run something kind of similar. Verminus Clawpack 80 Warlord 100 Chieftain with battle standard 140 20 Stormvermin 280 40 Clanrats 240 20 Clanrats 120 10 Clanrats 60 3 Warpfire Throwers 180 Verminlord Warbringer 300 1500. Chieftain gives battle shock immunity bubble on top of the formations Gnaw Gnaw bubble. The Verminlord's death frenzy spell is awesome when combined with Gnaw Gnaw on stormvermin or the large brick of clan rats. 100% Verminus alliance, and just 3 drops. I wish I could sub in my Warlord on a Brood Horror instead of the normal one, but it's keyword is actually Warlord on Broodhorror, instead of Warlord. I think sticklers would say it wouldn't count.

Deathmaster Snikch Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 New to forum so learning sorry that FAQ quote about taking named characters in warscroll battalions, (the example with the grot) can someone please link me as I can't find it on the FAQs anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tretch Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 If that is so, could I take Tretch as part of the Verminus Clawpack , and not take a Skaven Warlord.However his command abilities would be messed up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The reason I don't take Tretch as the Warlord for VS is so I can take an extra Crown of Command for Inspiring Presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratkaster Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Which version of the FAQ are you looking at? I think the answer above was superseded. V1.1 (current version on GW website) has the following updated (magenta) entry. Q: How do you determine what models and units make up a warscroll battalion? When is it based on a keyword and when is it a unit name? A: When a warscroll battalion is referring to a keyword, it appears in Keyword Bold. Otherwise, it is referring to the name of a unit. When you read the composition of the Verminus Clawpack it states 1 Skaven Warlord (not in bold) and is therefore referring to the unit/warscroll. This prevents the use of Tretch and other named Warlords being used as part of the battalion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keywords have a distinct bolder font format to differ them from standard unit names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a chieftain with a battle standard. That way you can get a similar effect in a bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if I recall he doesn't have the WARLORD keyword or very good stats in case he gets in trouble or for 3 Places of Power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmaster Snikch Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The best part about the VC is the second command ability by the warlord for the Stormvermin, Tretch would be a waste really. You can always make him your regular general at the cost of a command trait but personally I find the warbringer is probably the best option if you're running a Verminus i always use the Deceiver as my general but I don't run VC, was seeing if I could take Snikch as the assassin for the Clawpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tretch Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Played Sylvaneth at 1500 points tonight and won. We played 3 points of power. MVP of the match was the 20 Stormvermin. Used the Verminus Clawpack, so they got that extra attack and now -2 rend. OOOOOHHHHH DEAR LORD, they kicked some butt. I also used 40 man suqad of clanrats. They were clumsy to manouvre, but were able to wipe out those driads easily. Arch Warlock was useful to Mystic Shield the Stormvermin and add a bit of Mortal Wound pressure on her Heroes. Weapon teams didnt do much, however they do scare your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
