Thanquol actually seems quite nice as a skryre general... Gnawholes seem to fit Skryre more than verminus (because how hard it is to tunnel 40 clanrats instead of 3 stormfiends or one cannon), and with the arcane terrain thanquol gets +3 to cast! Insane! And you can just evade it through a gnawhole if it gets ugly The endless spells seem great for skryre too (vermintide to screen, the vortex)

I had plenty of mortars... I initially divided them in two and based them on 25mm to use as acolytes. I guess I'll continue to use them as acolytes then. I also converted one into a warp grinder.
-
Just imagine if Stormfiends were to get the "Clan Moulder Fighting Beast" keyword! Oh boy these shock gauntlets would be nice to have And let's break units cohesion with that Grey Seer Splinter spell!
-
Although the artwork from the article features some kind of new acolyte, the photos only show the metal acolytes... I wouldn't thus count on an update sadly... But who knows !
-
Yes. Personally I still paint them as if they have fur (light brown everywhere except for the hands, nose, feet and tail). I saw someone else do that on that thread, but to a much better result with dark brown. I think it was @Mayple ?

It's been almost a month, bring it on already! :)

Sadly, I'll go with your predictions... So far, most of what GW gave to Skaven were nerfs (clawpacks,warpstone sparks,gnash piling,death runner duplicating...) to already "meh" comboes or allegiances... Besides perhaps crown of conquest, which would also get nerfed following the same logic.

So I lost against nighthaunt again... My list was 80 clanrats, 2 plague priests, skritch spiteclaw, 3 warpfire stormfiends (1000pts). The scenario was star strike. I placed the stormfiends within a unit of 40 clanrats for protection. He placed his Bladegheist and knight of shroud outside the battlefield. First round: he won priority but let me begin. I do nothing. He marches slightly. His Bladegheists pop next to my army, but fail their charge. Second round: I win priority. Gnash-gnash the clanrats, Plague Tome on the Bladegheist, but failed wither. I charge! 73 attacks from the clanrats, and 40 succeed! Unfortunately, he is left with one Bladegheist... His turn, 3 Bladegheist come back. The rest of the army approaches. Lady Olinder and Knight of Shroud arrive and wipe Skritch plus 22 clanrats (the rest flees). He controls and objevlctive and earns 2 points. Third turn: one new objective pop on his side, and another on my side. He wins priority and camps on two objectives. I charge with the clanrats and plague priest and kill two specters... He kills 8 clanrats and the plague priest. He now has 8 victory points, and I have 3. We then both agreed that I had no chance of winning. Even if I hypothetically managed to steal an objective, I would still be behind in points. I honestly don't know what to think of this battle. I think I did the best I could. Nearly wiping the Bladegheist with the clanrats pumped me. But then the power of his army (resurrection, strong heroes...) came back at me. Do you have any advice on how my Skaven could finally take revenge at their Nighthaunt archenemies? I am left with no idea on how to design a list to beat them at 1k... What about warp-lightning cannons and chaff? 6 stormfiends and chaff? Or else? I don't own any Pestilens unfortunately. Cheers

@Riff_Raff_Rascal is Kairos there to cast Verminlords whenever a Bell has a 6 on a roll then? Besides the "roll 13" joke, casting a verminlord seems value enough to me... I hope you converted your Kairos into some giant bird rat / bat
-
He uses Bladegheist mostly, along with Knight of Shrouds and Lady Olinder. If I remember correctly, the rest is battleline tax

Hello everybody I'm trying to get revenge on the Nightnaut army that annihilated me in a previous 1k game. At this defeat, I played 9 stormfiends and a warlock engineer. I got wiped because of a lack of screen... And also Nightnaut ignoring rend hurts. This time I'm considering: List 1 What do you guys think? I thought of throwing clanrats at the nightnaut for saturation (and they haven't got any rend anyway). Stormfiends with warpfire do their stuff from behind. Plague priests improve the clanrats attacks. I'm open to any suggestion... I also considered a Chaos Sorcerer Lord instead of the two plague priests to have a chance at dispelling. Or an Arch-Warlock... I also considered list 2 (moulder) Allegiance: Moulder Packmaster (60) - General - Shock-Prod - Trait: Lord of War - Artefact: Crown of Conquest Screaming Bell (200) - Allies 40 x Giant Rats (200) 40 x Giant Rats (200) 3 x Stormfiends (290) Total: 950 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 200 / 200 Wounds: 113 Stormfiends either with warpfire or shock gauntlets

I agree that the mortars are disappointing, even more so with look out sir. Sometimes I run 8 to achieve some consistent results, but even then cannons seem better... The 2 warpfire throwers instead look neat. If you could get your hands on an arch warlock, it could be great fun as well! It would make 6 heroes in your list, what an elite army! You can skitterleap the arch warlock as well, and thanquol would be able to cast its spell too. But then that would also make way too many spells to cast... (6 or 7 per turn) and no endless ones. Warp grinder could be fun to pop clanrats on the battlefield,but I'm not convinced. Instead of trying to squeeze stormfiends in as an hammer, you could also put 10 stormvermins (140pts). They get their bonus for outnumbering enemies. So a unit of 10 could massacre heroes and small units, especially with the warlord buff. With Thanquol's buff theyll be fearsome. Cheers
-
No need for verminlords. Skaven have many good foot heroes (arch warlock, warlords, assassins, deathrunners, plague priests, warlock engineers, grey seers...) that you can build a full army on 25mm bases...
-
Great report, your list seems simple yet brutal. If you sacrifice one unit of stormfiends, you won't have the battle line requirements anymore though...

I found a zoom of the box cover art: https://www.artstation.com/sidwill/albums/47539 That clanrat on the left has a gas mask... Wild dream: perhaps clanrats will be customizable depending on their allegiance (such as by putting a gas mask head for a Skryre clanrat)...

I'll try not to get too hyped up... Remember Skritch Spiteclaw... We fantasized pages and pages long on this thread. They released a warscroll and we were OMG such powercreep! Made dozens of lists that abused his power. And then the unit did not end so great after all... And got even nerfed a few weeks later. I painted mine, it's a great sculpt, but boy that was some over-hype and a day one purchase I regret... I pray the Great Horned Rat that this is finally a release that (1) brings beautiful yet powerful models, (2) just boosts the power of Skavens in general so we can play them to some competitive level. If they include the Doomwheel in the starter box, I also hope they change its warscroll... I suppose the Bombardier will have a warscroll somewhere in between an Arch-Warlock and a Warlock Engineer. One spell, some powerful range nuke, of course that will bear the risk of self-destruction. Random thought: pick a point within 24" and roll a dice. On a 2+, all units within 3" of that point suffer D3 MW. On a 1, the Warlock Bombardier suffers D6 MW. And then some aura that boosts nearby war machines... What are your creative predictions? I know it's useless because they're going to reveal the warscroll soon anyway... Oh well, I guess I'm also aboard the hype train and am going to pre-order just like I did with Skritch...

Amazing!! I couldn't finish 10 given the amount of details... How did you speed paint them? Also have you played some games with this magnificent army yet? How did it go and what was your list? Cheers
-
Hi I just want the "Beastmen" treatment: clans getting unified in a book with subfactions, pumped allegiances, endless spells, terrain, battallions. Bonuses would be new sculpts for some old models (most of Eshin, some Skryre), named characters, improved grey seer and stormvermins
-
The French translation is extremely weird and adds to the confusion. Rather than writing "within 9" or "more than 9" they actually wrote a mixture of both that is grammatically incorrect.... They wrote "within more than 9"" : "à au plus de 9" (within would be "à au plus 9" and more than would be "à plus de 9")
-
My store owner disagrees with this and wouldn't allow it. It says that acolytes deploy "at 9"" but they need to be "within 9"" to shoot (so at 8.999999999 inches). Debatable... But I can't use it myself then
-
Hi, same reasoning here. Here are my 9 kit-bashed ones. (In progress) I just mixed and matched the sculpts and weapons. Sorry about the pictures quality. Also enclosed my 2 warp-grinder teams using bits from here and there All is in-progress (bases will be dark brown mud with black corn/wheat growing on it) Feedback is welcomed as they are not finished yet! Cheers
-
1) I like warpseer (plus you have some giant rats from the start collecting pestilens box) but any is good... 2) it looks fine to me... You could also swap the ratling with the cannon to have one more mobile unit 3) you don't have enough clanrat with one spire of dawn box I think. If you bring stormvermins in you could add some support characters such as grey seer/arch warlock/chaos sorcerer Lord. Or just get a second SC pestilens for a second cannon, a second bell, a second plague priest and a full unit of 40 plague monks Cheers
-
By dropping 10 stormvermins and 1 packmaster you could fit an Arch-Warlock in if needed... It is tremendous value on its own, but compared to 10 stormvermins + 1 packmaster it needs to be carefully considered...
-
If I remember correctly, some plague monks heads also happen to be skulls
