  1. Lucky me-myself, that my army already has-got one, yes-yes. Last Battle, he blew himself up in the first round, but that's the fun of being a skaven, yes, yes …
  2. Thanks! But you can only More-More-Warp-Power for one Unit per Round, right? Which is kinda sad to give it just to three Jezzails. On the other hand … I just don't have any other Skryer Units with Missile Weapons currently, hehe …
  3. Greetings-Salutations, dear fellow Masterminds, when I started my Skaven Army I plannend on running Jezzails in bigger Units (and thus have quite some bits for them) for more reliability. But I noticed that you can only run them in Sizes of 3 now, which reduces buffing them quite a bit. So … are there any synergies with other units (esp. for buff) when running more the 3 Jezzails / more the one unit of them? Thanks-gratitude, in advance, yes, yes …
  4. Oh! I never heard of Pile of Potential before … brilliant … thanks for pointing towards it!
  5. Thank you so much for the kind words, and the kind offer. But I guess, I have more than enough lying on my pile of opportunitiy. I just bought the skaven-half of the "Echos of Doom" from a fellow player. I already did some minis, but couldn't find time to make a good photograph of them. Maybe next weekend.
  6. Ouh, yeah! I hadn't noticed the Weapon-Teams hiding Mechanism in this Edition yet. Thanks a lot for pointing out! Ouh, yeah, again! I hadn't noticed the additional range rule also. My 3rd edition battletome is still in the Mail, hehe. Thank you so much. Sound like all the fun and games, I chose the Skaven for back then … it's great to see, that they are a funny and fun faction still. Ha! I'm getting more excited every day.
  7. I'll come back to my "Clanrats vs. Stormvermin"-Topic: I just found rule 12.3. … That instantly raised the question: How many Models can you bring into 2 Inch Range (if you take rusty spears for the clanrats) of an enemy unit? It sure depends on the size of the enemy unit, but I would assume that a unit of 60 Clanrats has a hard time finding any enemy unit, that allows all 60 to attack. So … I have a question to the more experienced Skaven players: How many Minis can you bring in combat range on avarage? And: Are there any advantages to big units (30+), beyond the fact, that they are harder to kill?
  8. Well … I only do fun games, hehe, so I'll just look for what I want to built and paint, once the todo-list reaches the "more clanrats or more stormvermin"-point. Thanks alot-much!
  9. Thanks-thanks, Lord Verminking, well, then I'll go for it. I do have more unbuild and unpainted minis, than I will probably be able to paint this year. But while painting and in between, I also think about in which direction I should go on with the army. And I wonder about the use of Clanrats vs. Stormvermin. From the last game I played (two years ago) I remember that the Stormvermin were really fun. The cut down the dryads they were facing with ease, and I made a note to myself to buy more of them and add a Claw-Lord. But Clanrats come in numbers of 20/40/60 and are also very much fun to build and paint. Sooo … I wonder: Is there a general recommendation to go with more Clanrats or more Stormvermin currently?
  10. I think it's a good Idea to have an inventory and a plan for my Skaven in 2024. # Inventory ## Leaders 1 Archwarlock (painted) 1 Warlock Bombardier (painted) 2 Warlock Enginseers (1 painted, 1 unpainted) 4 Deathrunners (unpainted) 1 Clawlord (maybe even a second Clawlord somewhere???) 2 Deathmaster, old (unbuilt and unpainted) 1 Deathmaster, new (unbuilt and unpainted) 1 Mastermoulder (unbuilt and unpainted) ## Units 40 Clanrats (20 unbuilt) 30 Stormvermin (10 unbuilt) 4 Packmasters (unpainted) 4 Rat Ogors (2 unpainted) 25 Giant Rats (unpainted) 1 Warpfirethrower Team (painted) 3 Poisoned Wind Mortar Teams (unpainted) 10 Wolf Rats (unbuilt and unpainted) 9 Jezzails (all unpainted, 5 unbuilt) 3 Skritchs Spiteclaws (2 x unbuilt and unpainted) 1 Skittershanks Clawpack (unbuilt and unpainted) 5 Rust-Stalkers (the plan was to kitbash them into Skryre Acolytes) ## Terrain Warcry Starter Set Terrain (painted) Warcry Souldrain Forrest Terrain (2 Sets, 6 Trees total) Realmgate (unpainted) Realmscape Expansion Set (unbuilt and unpainted) Megadroth Remains (unbuilt and unpainted) # Plan for 2024 ## Prioritized goals for this year Finish my half-finished 20 Clanrats Finish my half-finished 20 Stormvermin Build 12 (or just 6) objective markers Paint my gnawholes Paint the Clawlord Paint 3 Packmasters Paint the 27 Giant Rats (or at least some of them) Paint 4 Rat Ogors Paint the Mastermoulder Finish 3 Warplock Jezzails Building and paint my Skaven-themed Realmgate Build and paint all 10 Wolfrats Build and paint a Mastermoulder on a Wolfrat (as an Anvil of Apotheosis-Project, using Goblin-Wolf Riders) Build and paint an Eshin Warband for Mortheim (and as an addition to the army) ## Further Projects After that I still have several, yet unordered options 20 more Clanrats 6 more Warplock Jezzails Dragon Banner Terrain Wyldwoods Megadroth Terrain Skittershanks Clawpack Spiteclaws Swarm as Gutterrunners Skryer Acolytes (from Rust-Stalkers)
  11. Greetings-regards, fellow schemers for world supermacy, I mean, all-of-the-realms-supremacy, I haven't been to the TGA-Community for quite a while, and was a bit suprised to see, that here's only one topic in the Skaven Sub-Forum. Can anyone help me out, about what's the idea behind that? Should I just post every skaven related question here? Gratitude-thanks, in advance!
  12. In 2023, I decided to do one army, one project only and went with my Space Wolves. This was the single best hobby-related decision, I have made, since I came back to the hobby ten years ago. I became practically immune to GW's marketing, lost my own hobby FOMO, my hobby-expanses dropped drastically, I made real progress on the army, and finished the year with a result I am super-happy with. After this year's success, I decided to focus only on my Skaven in 2024. So … I'll be around again in the next 12 Months. I'm really looking forward to spending the year with my cute and funny (and scheming and backstabbing, and altogether crazy) little rodents …

    Wolf Rats Tactics

    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!
  15. Combo-Cards? I didn't stumble across those, yet. What are they?
