Great guide! Would love to see more in the future! -
It's so sad that the Screaming Bell is so bad. To me it's the most iconic Skaven warmachine, and thematically just so so cool! I love the idea of swarms of Skaven rushing forward, pushing the war altar forward, getting ever bolder and more frenzied by the bells clamor.

Regarding the ability Cloack of Splintered Reality - I assume RAI is 5+ against missile attacks, both normal damage and mortal wounds. But RAW is 5+ against missile attacks normal damage, but also a general 5+ against mortal wounds. Am I reading this correctly? How are you guys playing this?

If I put an arch-warlock on a balewind vortex, and place them on terrain, he gets +2 to his 3+ save, right? But he can't be brought to a 1+ save, right? Will a rend of -1 bring him up to 2+ or a 3+ though?
-
Thanks for your feedback. If you place the assassin outside of 4 inches, he's out of combat though, right? So your opponent is free to ignore him.
-
@Skreech Verminking Yeah, I mean, he's good against heroes. But he doesn't have the "goes first" thing anymore. He only has 3 attacks, so if you get super lucky, he will do ~6 wounds. I guess that's fine, so long as you only use him to supplement whatever else your attacking the enemy hero with? And the assassin is going to super die to retaliation. So is it worth making him go first, instead of whatever other units you could have chosen, for potentially 6 wounds?
-
How do you guys feel about assassins? I love the concept, but I not so sure they're worth the 100 points?
-
Magnificent! How did you make those cliffs?

@Lemon Knuckles Hey man! I've still patiently expecting your next installment. As in, I need AoS food for thought/theory crafting

So would you say Aetherquartz brooch has any place in Skryre then?
-
Aerherquartz brooch - each time you use a CP, on a 5+ you get it back. What are peoples opinions on this artefact? Across 5 rounds + 1 starting CP that's a total of 6 CP. With this artefact you would statistically end up with a total of 8 in this situation. Is it worth it?

@Gwendar Where did you get those wound trackers?
-
@Ratcliff Well done fellow rat! I'm guessing the 3 x priests were for prayers? How did they perform, and is it worth i bringing 3 of them? What's the though process behind having several small units of monks, and then a big one. Did you need a lot of inspiring presence to keep the big unit alive?

Allegiance: Chaos Leaders Skaven Warlord (100) - Warpforged Blade - Artefact: Crown of Conquest Packmaster (60) - Herding Whip & Blade Warlock Engineer (100) - General Battleline 40 x Clanrats (200) - Rusty Spear 40 x Clanrats (200) - Rusty Spear Units 4 x Rat Ogors (200) 1 x Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (70) 1 x Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (60) Total: 990 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 115 Here's my suggestion. With the warlord having the crown of conquest, you can make both clanrat units immune to battleshock (as long as they are within 6"). The warlord can also buff the rats with Gnash-gnaw on their bones (30+ clanrats with 2 attacks are actually pretty killy). So you have a wall or rats that will never die (until the warlord gets sniped though, so watch out for that. With the warpfire thrower and engineer you have some mortal wound output. The packmaster with rat ogors work well as a hammer unit (carful not to lose the packmaster though, as the rat ogors will then be prone to battleshock, which hurts terribly on rat ogors).

@Skreech Verminking Ah, yes! You speak with great Skaveny wisdom-cunning! It did indeed all go according to plan! And my pesky rivals are now all dead-slain! Well... Most of them anyways... There's always more scheming rats out there!
