Skreech Verminking

I mean the last wave of skaven we had was in theory back in warhammer fantasy emd times. or of you don’t count that 5-6years earlier then that.

The best units as alloes from that range gor us are either the nurgling swarms or the underworld warbands. As one can be used as infiltraders quit easily that take-still objectives from the beginning. the other units just kinda works one here own pretty well. i could also see some blightlords as an option as they give us a horde killing ability at the end of the combat phase.

In theory yes, but I’m not certain how many people would take part in such a tournament considering how long it would take to move every model and try and keep them in formation😂

That’s awesome😍

Same, I’m all for a tow sub forum

So first ten black orks with hand weapon and shields are build. also 2 are converted. can’t have a black ork unit with out a banner bearer and musician even orks have their standarts

I’ll do that

This’ll do just perfect for my army😁, thanks

Personally about the ironjawz something I didn’t or don’t enjoy was basically the fact that they are just double or tripple moving yet are to some aspect heavily armored and deal massive damage. personally I’d like gw to either make em the fast glasscannon boys or the tough heavy hitting boys but slow moving. not both

Skarsnik is actually the inspiration for why I’m taking in black orks, although lore wise I’m really keen getting into a really heavy bretonian themed nightgoblin army. in lore there where was a squad of black orks lead by there boss, they’ve heard that a nightgoblin was leading a force of goblins and just thought that it would be a good idea to smash a few heads in and take over as their new bosses. Yet they did not expect with skarsnik devious trick and traps. Those fights went onward so far that the ork boss at some point kneel to skarsnik Edit: Although as for my armies story, I’ll probably will at some point write a small fun backstory for my army. there’s also a gokd chance I’ll buy the new heraldik book from the brets, just to get some inspiration, what bretonian faction my boss might have encountered and gotten inspired from to make such a heavy cavalry army, with him as king leading. this will mean that I will probably take the heraldik of one of the faction and slightly change to some sort of a perversion of it original (for example if the heraldik had a pegasus, mine probably will be a squig 😂)

Well…. You are fully correct. in my army the black orks champion believes that he is leading the goblins. Or so that one goblin boss tells him that story every time. they get to bash a fe things and the goblin boss is able to use them as his puppet without them knowing about it. and since he is able to lead such mighty warriors, all those other goblins truly believe that he is the chosen one of the scuttling lady of da deadwoods . with the promise that he makes his most trustworthiest of goblins his knightz of da realm, that will go onto a quest to seek the shroomy grail in the name of their king, these goblins fight as fanatically as possible

Yeah that does kinda make sense yet I do wonder why total war warhammer choose to keep the name malekith in this case.

Yeah nor can any of the other gods of the north mythology thank god😂. god it would be so bad when a whole cultural historical myth can be changed because a company owns the rights to that.

So I went through one of the youtube videos that took a look at the army indexes and started writing an bretonian themed nightgoblin list: here’s my list any thoughts? Heroes and Lords:208points: Night goblin Warboss:86 -light armor(3) -shield(3) -on giant cave squig(25) Night goblin bigboss: 37 -great weapon(4) -light armor(3) Night goblin shaman: 85 -level 2 wizard(30) Special:891points 20Blac orks:306 -full command(26) -shields(20) 3Stonetrolls:147 -great weapons (12) 10Squig hoppers:146p -Boss(6) -cavalry gear(10) -light armor(10) 10Squig hoppers:146p -Boss(6) -cavalry gear(10) -light armor(10) 10Squig hoppers:146p -Boss(6) -cavalry gear(10) -light armor(10) Core:809points 20 squigg hoppers and 6 squig herders:218 40 Night goblin mob:247 -full command (17) 3fanatics(75) -throwing spears (40) 40 Night goblin mob:247 -full command (17) 3fanatics(75) -throwing spears (40) 20 night goblin mob: 97 -throwing spears(20) Full command (17) Total:1908points

Same here. I enjoy aos (although not our current skaven battletome) and there’s a good chance I’ll keep playing that system. personally that does mean I’ll likely be either building, 3d printing or buying square unit trays for my round based models

Yeah I don’t know either. i mean for 40k I’ve been using mostly just legacy units, but for some reason everybdoy else who isn’t a part of the club I’m a memeber of currently seems to consider those units dead, yet they aren’t they have rules and work pretty well in that system. I mean they are not broken in any way but fun to use also slightly weaker then some other units in comparison I doubt it, personally I have a feeling that an aos skaven redo will probably look like the gloomspite gitz redo or slaves to darkness redo. And pretty much all models in those range are useable in tow. Something newer aos players often forget is that fantasy didn’t die (only) because of their rule set, rather that the speed of updates we got was quit bad. when you’ve got an army that hasn’t seen any balance changes or a new book for the last 8-10 years, yeah that kinda kills the vioe for that army. If gw chose to go that route in aos as well. It wouldn’t be a sustainable system either

I agree. If tow was part of the 40k universe we’d definitely would have seen space skaven at this point

Yeah gws words, where picked poorly. something I also noticed they mentioned was how these legacy armies are a good way to start the edition, but if somebody wants to stay in that system for the long term period, they’d have to change their army. that isn’t inspiring either and personally, I will ignore it. after all nobody can tell me which army I have to play to be a long term tow player. and as for tournaments, well gw did mention they won’t be tournament legal in total…. Personally that’s something they can’t really decide for every tournament or event that will be organized around the world. I mean just look at the horus heresy events. faction like the ruin storm daemons or imperial militia are also legend and officially not meant for tournament play, and yet I haven’t heard of any non gw hereys events that didn’t allow these armies to be used Yeah well that’s what gw wants to tell you. but man look at all those warhammer army project players. A good amount have been using those new seraphons or chaos warriors for that system since release. I doubt that a few words will stop anybody from using new models in tow.

To put it blatantly, I believe tow can probably be compared to horus heresy. And while I’m certainly probably more considered a new player, I so far have been to an events and talked to a lot of players. The horus heresy players are quite chill and the events I’ve so far gone too as well as my buddies (who have played a lot more games then me) have mostly seen legacy u its being allowed, considering that I’m guessing we’ll see the same happen for old world. I have no doubts about it and personally I’m incredible hyped playing my skaven long term in the world, no matter what one of the warhammer community writers wrote in their article.

They are all just waiting for the right moment to stirke-kill. yes-yea

I might not agree on the word solid, but prediction yeah sure why not sounds interesting. I’ll have a look at it afterwards

Mmh rumors are flowing wild

I doubt that halve a good looking range will be removed because they came officially from old world and it is back now. There’s a good chance that some models will be able to be used on more then one system.

I tjink those bonesplittaz rumors are likely just the wish-listing of a minority of aos fans who consider all old world needs to be removed. personally that of course doesn’t mean bonesplittaz are save. truth is nobody really knows if they get removed. they have certainly been one of those faction lacking of support by gw lately. Although considering on the popularity on orks in total. I can at least say that I have seem more bonesplittaz fans then kruelboyz. Even now kruelboyz at least in my area are considered not interesting enough, although some of us skaven players love there monster although for other reasons I think some of us have had or still have that wish. If it is expected….. well that depends on the oppinion of each player, but I’d say personally yes and at the same time hope it’s not. Players of faction that are just now getting their battletomes won’t be happy for such a chance. We have after all seen it happening in 40k

That there aren’t any stormfiends makes sense. But verminlords? I mean they always where part of skavens society, and while thanqoul didn’t exist back the. Or at least unlikely, he wasn’t the only grey seer capable of summoning verminlords. -no slaves I guess they fear a return if the slave spamm that existed in 8th although maybe its possible that the base size for clanrats will also be that for the slaves since slaves are what basically halve the skaven box comes with. it is sad to here that no bas size for fw stuff is announced, not so great but I’m not really worrying. as for no special characters, I was hoping we’ll see ikitt, since he was leading the skryre forces back in the skaven civil war
