[Lore Post: The Roiling Horde]

Love the models and the fluff! You've got an interesting force going and I wish them luck as they bring devastation to the realms

[Endless spells]

Wow! Beautiful models 

[Krell, Mortarch rules]

Love this unit! 

Would be a beatstick. I don't actually think the command ability would be used, not enough impact for a command point, but would be great as a melee focused Hero. 

[Drycha is done :D]

Looks great!

Wow! Thanks for the easy to understand clear answer. Read a lot about this discussion and it seemed to favor dual blades but it always seemed like 60/40% split on opinion but in the end does not seem to matter haha. Wont ask again and thanks for the clear response

No problem, I was worried people would read my comment as mean when honestly we should be happy we have a battleline unit that is crazy good offensively either way haha.

I did a bunch of math on various opponents and buffs with the Monks and both of their loadouts when I first started AoS, if I remember I'll upload it when I get home tonight or tomorrow 

[Building a Skaven Army: Clan Pestilens]

Seems like in any forum where Pestilens lists are discussed, the discussion becomes completely focused on whether to use two blades or blade+stave on the Monks haha

Fellow rat men of unusual size, it really doesn't matter. The mathematical difference is slight and its so unpredictable whether or not you'll get the buff on that specific unit, whether the Verminlord gets sniped early, how many Monks are still alive in that unit, etc that just really go with what you want. Those Monks are nasty either way

If you're looking for someone to tell you "Consensus is definitely bring paired blades" or vise versa, then it's not going to happen like that 

[Building a Skaven Army: Clan Moulder]

Loving this series, spent a lot of time theoryhammering latelt and you're opening my eyes to new units

Those Wolf Rats look sneaky good, and you could probably do some nice Dire Wolves conversions to save money and avoid resin. Seems like Plague Priests are a core of a lot of comp Skaven lists for those Wound buffs

[Skaven Elites: Premier Skaven Troop Choices]

Great writeup! 

Stormvermin are in a weird spot where big blocks of 40 are disgustingly brutal, but then you've got 25% of your entire army's points tied up in a single unit of infantry that die way too quickly

I think if you run Stormvermin, you have to bring Thanquol for that 5+ feel no pain save. But then you've got basically half of your total points in two units... that just feels like too much

They're brutal in theory and as you said, great movement shenanigans for such elite infantry. Just hard to figure out in practice! 

[Call to Arms Wellington Recap]

Thanks so much for writing this up! Skaven seem way underrepresented in tourney scenes so any write up like this can go a long way towards motivating Skaven players to get out there and feel like they can play some fun matches

I've been intrigued by the damage potential of Plague Censer Bearers but they always seem to get focus fired down immediately when I play--will have to experiment with the Plaguesmog Congregation and seeing if it's worth the point cost to keep the Furnace and PCB's alive as they cross the board 

[Elgi-Bar: Grundcorps]

I like your narrative idea of the protection in the Soul Wars era! Interested in seeing where you take these fellas 

[Tournament Lists for Pestilens in AoS2]

Nice list! As a Pestilens player, I've been toying with the idea of running both a Verminlord Corruptor and the Verminking as a very powerful core for your army 

Only tweak I would recommend is the Plagueclaw catapults rarely earn their points and are useless against the numerous Nurgle armies in tourneys these days. Those points would be better used allying in a Grey Seer and another endless spell/extra command point for the Corruptor to stack on a unit of Monks

[Warscroll Spotlight: Lord Skreech Verminking]

Thanks for the write-up!

 

I was inspired to look at his warscroll after your post, and saw the wording on the 13th Spell says it summons Verminus units, not clan rats specifically. Does this mean it can summon Stormvermin? That would be insane...
