Ouch … I just saw the new Clanrats … if that's the general direction for our faction, then I am for happy for once to have such a big pile of opportunity. I mean … it's inline with the cinematic video, lot of early skaven artworks and the overall tendency of the meta to lean into grimdark … and I don't blame anyone for liking that … but that's just not my cup of tea-coffee-brewage.

The Night Runners are staying?! I can't believe it. I think it's just more plausible, that they just forgot to mention them …
-
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 …

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 …
-
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 …

Oh! I never heard of Pile of Potential before … brilliant … thanks for pointing towards it!
-
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.
-
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.

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?
-
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!

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?

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)

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!

2024 and you - What’s your Hobby Plans?
Filius replied to Gaz Taylor's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
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 … -
Ah. Both tips are great ideas! Ah, that makes me even keener on building them! Thanks a-many-lot-lot!
-
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!
-
Combo-Cards? I didn't stumble across those, yet. What are they?
-
Now that the Set ist availabel for some time … i wonder if it is worth the Money. And: I wonder how it plays, as it doesn't have a 2nd floor/storey, like the Core-Set …

Hi everyone, the Cities of Sigmar Battletome really woke my duardinish Heart and I want to try an Duardin only Army as asap as possible, so my tiny plan for a 1000 Points List looks like this City: Tempest's Eye 2 x Warden King (like the Buffs) and one of them is General of Course 2 x Rune Lord (like the Antimagic) 10 x Longbeard with Great Axes 10 x Longbeards with Shields 10 x Ironbreakers 10 x Hammeres 10 x Irondrakes = 1040 Points total That way, I have one of every type of infantry to learn how to play them, and the Longbeards twice, which will hopefully help me against the Sylvaneth with Endless Spells I'll be facing most of the time. And Tempest's Eye will hopefully fix some of my missing agility. From there on I can extend any Unit, or even add Kharadrons or Fyreslayers (certainly want to bring a Magmadroth some day!). I assume that it's not the most competitive way to start, but we'll be playing for fun most of the time anyways, and so … I just want to make sure that the List is not total nonesense. Any feedback is most welcome!

It looks a litte bit like maybe the future is not too far away … https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/05/the-rumour-engine-november-5th-2019/ "We’ve been working with the Ironweld Engineers to fix the Rumour Engine, but its mysteries elude even their prodigious skills"

Very, very nice to see that Eshin is alive and stabbin', thanks everyone for posting here. If I were to integrate Eshins into a regular Skaventide List, I'd probably take Gutter Runner over Night Runners, right?

Monthly Tourney (last w/ GHB 2018 rules\points) - Skaven are back...
Filius commented on Gwendar's blog entry in Gwendar's BatReps
The next thing, I wanted to ask in the "Skaventide General Discussion" was, which Verminlord to take. But as I read this here, I think, I'll probably end up having each one anyways … so I just start with the one, I like the most, hehe. Thanks! -
Thanks to @willange and @Skreech Verminking for the help on the Gnawholes. So I need those too, sigh, esp. as I will be playing against Sylvaneth most of the time. I do have another question: I currently build up my Skaven Army. I started planing the army before the new Battletome came out. I currently have 20 Clanrats and 30 Stormvermin and planed to expand both to 40 (and quite a lot of other rodents). But I'm not sure wether to go with 2x40 Clanrats or 2x40 Stormvermin. What's the general opinion on Clanrats vs. Stormvermin as Battleline around here?
-
Uhhm … I do have a probably rather stupid question: I haven't seen any Gnawholes in the Army Lists here lately. Is that because people don't use them, or because they are scenery, don't cost points and thus are not part of the Army list? And to add another question: Are the Gnawholes considered a must-have for a skaventide Army or usefull at all?
-
Quick, quick, blood-skulls for the the skull-blood-throne-chair-thing, yes, yeeeess!
