  1. Nah I ran them as Skaven book only, as I don't think it's RAI to still be getting the kragnos book buffs. But I did have the same thought.
  2. So close to finishing all the skaven books, 3 more to go! Had my first tournament with the new book last weekend. Overall felt great and like all games where winnable went 1-2 but both the losses of games where lost by a single dice roll and had a single point or two between them, the first game by my plague furnace not managing to deal single wound to eltharion, and second due to failing the clans pestilens tactic when the plague furnace rolled double 1 on prayers! List was
  3. Had my first game with the Rats today, I went full moulder with 2x20 clanrats. Was against a kurnoth based sylvaneth list, both of our first game with new missions/GHB and tomes! Ended as a skaven victory at Turn 4 18-4, would've been able to get up to 28-4 with the fifth turn. My general takeaways- Giant rats are surpisingly shreddy when buffed and people just ignore them when rat ogors are in their face, combined with the rat ogors all being tanky now, it's a delicious combo. The little rats managed to nibble through 4 kurnoths in a turn and left lady of vines at 1! Hellpits, still a love hate relationship, they do a decent job, not quite good enough, sometimes excellent it's too random 😛 Rat Ogors are as they where before, solid. Moulders, bring back on a 3+ is just so nice ❤️ Crack the whip +3 to charges is so big for good positioning, using it on the giant rats was so good List was as follows Allegiance: Skaven- Grand Strategy: Take What's Theirs- Triumphs:LeadersMaster Moulder (90)**- General- Command Trait: Moulder SupremeMaster Moulder (90)**- Artefact: Rabid CrownMaster Moulder (90)**- Artefact: FoulhideBattleline18 x Giant Rats (180)*- Reinforced x 24 x Rat Ogors (280)*- Reinforced x 14 x Rat Ogors (280)*- Reinforced x 120 x Clanrats (100)***- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (100)***- Rusty SpearBehemothsHell Pit Abomination (245)Hell Pit Abomination (245)Hell Pit Abomination (245)Core Battalions*Bounty Hunters**Command Entourage - Magnificent***Expert ConquerorsTotal: 1945 / 2000Reinforced Units: 4 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 163Drops: 11
  4. Nearly there with the skaven fiction too! 3 inidividual books to go, 7 if we include alternate covers/hardback, but they're rare as all sin to come by
  5. All the books throughout the years, silly that all the Collectors and current tomes have the same cover 😛 Got the first use of the new book coming up in 2 weeks, so many options and wants to test gonna be tough to pick something Good problem to have i suppose
  6. Apart from the fact you've used 6 reinforcement points, yeah 😛
  7. I'm really happy with this book overall, a solid good upgrade on most things, and a few side grades very few actual downgrades. Ordered the special tome, and hoping for that 1% chance of getting #13 :d
  8. The doomwheel has actually been semi-buffed there was one word change with it's roll over ability, from normal move to move. So now you can give out mortal wounds on any move, including your new double pile in, charge and moves. So it has 4 times the opportunity to mortal wound! This wording also means you can charge over a unit of 3 wounds or less, AND pile in over a unit as if you have fly.
  9. Hey, those are Veteran giant rats you're talking about nowadays Im happy with my moulder list, being able to buff hell pits now and the brackets being waaaaaay more forgiving is really going to help, and rat ogors? Barring the warscroll redesign being flat out awful, they're gonna pump it, I hope they get a full chart of buffs not just 3 to pick from like before. 3+ return instead of a 5+? Literally in heaven. Hopefully moulder DOES have a second page for rat ogor mutations, cause if they do via the wording on the mutations for hellpits, we may get 1 mutation for each hell pit and ogor unit per moulder 😮 The wild dreams
  10. I use 6 units of giant rats in my moulder list, +120 points costier real shame there
  11. The biggest disappointment is the Doomwheel , went up in points but stayed the same, didn't even lose the behemoth role Im so so so excited to try so many combos now
  12. A good chunk of them have now Im super excited from the current ones.
  13. 1- My wild predictions- Generic- Renumber the bravery allegiance to apply to lower unit sizes. Skaven battalions give extra reinforcement points. Eshin Bonus -1 to be hit in combat+range 1 Mortal on 6's to hit for gutters/night runners. Pestilens- Mortal wounds taken if in combat. Leadership negatives. No changes to plague monks. Censer Bearers OP, new kit. New Mounted Plague Priest on Brood Horror. Catapults still absolute trash. Moulder- 5/6+ ward on Hell pit & Ogors Giant rats cost up, 6+ save. Scares all monsters. Skryre- Double Rend Characteristic on 6's to wound. Weapons Teams are now teams, you take them in a unit 😛 2- Im not sure of your point here, especially as Big Waagh is the best faction in the Orruks tome by a fair bit. but I do think we'll see the Four main clans and a mix all clan style. 3- The time of the Realm of Life is coming, surely an explosion of life means even more rats. As fanatics of decay of all life, surely Clans Pestilens will make a move 🐀 4- I doubt we'll get a new big guy, we've got a new named deathmaster now, so plague priest or moulder would be lovely. 5- I'll be majorly surprised if we have a new batch of miniatures. Happily surprised, we're a dual tome release with Sylvaneth that means maybe 1 hq and 1 unit like nighthaunt got in their box. Maybe an extra hero like they had too.
  14. I think the cost whilst high, is probably fair. 6" deepstrike with strike first and retreat with shooting mortals and melee? Autotake in Mono Eshin (Duh) and I look forward to trying them in mixed clan too, they're near in cost to a hell pit and I'd rather have these right now then a floppy 12 wound 5+ save that gives away a vp
  15. Two separate posts for two different things! Been waiting to report on my 1k tournament where I went 3-0 claiming second place behind BoC due to differentials in winning VP's TL:DR, Went well Rat Ogors are just ridiculous.Breakdown of each game in postGame 1- Feral Foray VS Soulblight Win 29-24Game 2- Apex Predators VS Idoneth Deepkin Win 25 - 10Game 3- Power Struggle VS Kruleboyz Win 25 - 12 List- Game 1- Game 2- Game 3-
  16. It's a shame that its the starter box indeed, but i'll get it for them, theyll look so very odd amongst my 60 monkey rat ninjas Got a 1k Tourney tomorrow, going with the following- Allegiance: Skaventide- Grand Strategy: Hold the Line- Triumphs: InspiredLeadersWarpgnaw Verminlord (275)*- General- Command Trait: Cunning- Artefact: Vial of Manticore Venom (Universal Artefact)- Universal Spell Lore: Flaming WeaponMaster Moulder (95)*- Artefact: Rabid CrownMaster Moulder (95)*Battleline4 x Rat Ogors (190)**- Mutation: Toughened Sinews- Reinforced x 14 x Rat Ogors (190)**- Mutation: Insanely Rabid- Reinforced x 16 x Giant Rats (40)**6 x Giant Rats (40)6 x Giant Rats (40)*Core Battalions*Warlord**Hunters of the HeartlandsTotal: 965 / 1000Reinforced Units: 2 / 2Allies: 0 / 200Wounds: 70Drops: 8
  17. We return Victorious! I went 2-1 and ended up 5th/20 A hard day and interesting as it was my first time playing all Moulder. Faced Soulblight (Loss) OBR (Win) Maggotkin (Win) Changes I would make to the list? Drop Death Frenzy, Pick up Warpgale. Not much else I think that I could change that would improve this, maybe drop a hellpit for more rat ogors and soulsnare shackles for more area denial? List and small summary of games below.
  18. Group Photo for the tournament list mentioned above, got some very very stiff competition in the lists- First Prince, Longstrike Stormcast, Big Waagh and Ironjawz so it'll be a hard fought game! Hopefully I can report back tomorrow with at least 1 win
  19. I do have 4 Doomwheels ready to roll out as well, maybe next tournament when it comes around Wanted to get the moulder going first out.
  20. Upon reflection, we've edited the list to the below now. Whilst I want to love the idea of Thanquol and will try him out at a later date, but feel he'd be too big and obvious of a target if anyone bought the ol' 6 longstrike and/or Dragon/Fulmi wombo combo.

  21. Hello all! I have a tournament coming up for my new rat boys, I expect some fairly decent lists there, almost certainly multiple big waaagh/ironjawz. Now, I'm likely going full moulder but need to decide by the coming Friday what list i'll be taking. I started off with 3 Stormfiends in the list, but this got dropped in favour of Thanquol + WLV in the first list critique round. But i'm not quite sure still so need further advice. This list currently is as follows- - Army Faction: Skaven - Grand Strategy: Hold the Line - Triumph: Inspired LEADERS Master Moulder (95)*** - Things-catcher - Artefacts of Power: Rabid Crown Master Moulder (95)*** - Warpstone-tipped Lash - Artefacts of Power: Arcane Tome - Spells: Flaming Weapon Thanquol (405)*** - General - Spells: Death Frenzy BATTLELINE 6 x Giant Rats (40) 6 x Giant Rats (40) 6 x Giant Rats (40) 6 x Giant Rats (40) 6 x Giant Rats (40) 4 x Rat Ogors (190)* 4 x Rat Ogors (190)* 4 x Rat Ogors (190)* 6 x Giant Rats (40)*** BEHEMOTH 1 x Hell Pit Abomination (240)** 1 x Hell Pit Abomination (240)** ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS 1 x Warp Lightning Vortex (90) TERRAIN 1 x Gnawhole (0) CORE BATTALIONS - *Hunters of the Heartlands - **Alpha-Beast Pack - ***Warlord TOTAL POINTS: 1975/2000 Is thanquol survivable enough, or do I just downgrade him to a regular seer, or even one of the masterclan verminlords. Each option opens up bringing more giant rats, rat ogors or maybe even a sneaky third hellpit in the Grey Seers case. Do I need more master moulders? :< So many what if's and indecisions.
  22. Looking at Tyler Mengels posts on facebooks, skeletons/zombies on 25mm for sure and death characters on 40mm. From box pictures, Skeleton leaderman 32mm, Vagskyryryr 50mm, Bats 25mm, rats 32mm, 3 wolfpires 32mm, heroes 32mm except the ogor at 40
