I personally have had a hard time playing against Surecharge lists. With Gavriel and a bunch of evocators waiting up in the sky, for me to make a mistake or open myself up to much. And then *BAM!* I seems like a fun list to play as well. Just watching and waiting for an opening and then taking it. Edit: I assume it's not super competitiv, but it will certainly do in a friendly game.

@ObeisanceYou're good against hordes with both monks and warpfire throwers. Heroes and the like with a good save though... A warlock engineer would fill that role nicely with its warplighting spell. Vigourdust injector would also help the monks out. If you want to go with the clawlord though, combining brutal fury and things bane is pretty brutal! Or Skavenbrew on the bell, to buff the monks.

Jezzail kitbash. I see most people use skitarii and stormvermin. Is it possible to use clanrats? I dont like the heavily armored stormvermin for jezzails...
-
@fishwaffle2232Some good pointers here. Concerning clanrats retreat and charge - I thought Tzeentch had some "you can't retreat" mechanic going on?

Monthly Meetup: Skaven vs Nurgle & Stormcast

Yeah. The engineers are only there to buff the fiends right? And occasionally jezzails in a pinch. So a Grey seer is way better than a third engineer. -

Great report per usual. I really do love Skitterleap. The threat of taking any objective anytime really puts pressure on the opponent. Reading those reports of yours, it's getting increasingly clear that I NEED to get myself some jezzails. I love how hero light this list is. There's just so much room for everything else. Jezzails, fiends, AND HPA? Nice! -
My Verminlord warpseer is FINALLY done! Been working on this guy since early November 😛 Bonus picture of my spare warpseer 😉

Wooow! THAT long? How come?
-
Someone one reddit said they had been in contact with GW, and that they were currently working on plastic Sryre Acolytes. If that's true... Omg! Does any know anything about this? Assuming it's true, how long would you imagine we'll have to wait for them to be available?
-
Oh also... When we give warpstone spark to jezzails... How does that interact with 2MW on 6 to hit?

Monthly Meetup: Skaven vs StD, IJ, Sylvaneth

Excellent report! Thanks! This list does seem pretty nasty! The dual defensive gnawholes seem fantastic combined with the jezzails! I'll need to get myself some jezzails and acolytes for sure! Do you typically have the plague monks or 40 clanrats around the bell? -
Gnawhole placement. Let's talk-talk about it! I usually Place on in the middle of my backline, and then two on each board side in a position where they threaten objectives. What are some good placements and considerations you fine gentlerats have come up with?

If I give the liber bubonicus to a Corruptor - what prayers can I use? Can he also use echoes of the great plagues?

Wow! Impressive! Is that 3 x Bonetithe nexus I'm seeing there? Care to explain? -
There are abilities that, when triggered, "for the rest of the game" or equivalent. In this case it says in the next combat phase, not from the next combat phase or equivalent. So I would say this applies only to the next combat phase.
-
Skaven has the "death frenzy" spell. It enables a slain model to pile in and attack before being removed. The wording specifically says "when a model is slain", so iI feel fairly confident it doesn't apply to fleeing from battleshock. So I guess wording for the specific ability matters?
-
@EldarainMortal wounds for heroes and the harvester then I assume? And yeah, shooting. Do you prefer stormfiends or acolytes against OBR? Why do speed bumps work well against OBR? @Skreech Verminkingdoomwheel eh ? Hmmm... Might not be to bad I guess.
-
Played against OBR yesterday, and got smashed. I did one big mistake, and serval smaller. How do you guys handle OBR? Seems to me we can't fight them straight up, so we have to rely on movement shenannigans. Man that catapult is terrifying. And the mortek guards are just so insanely tough.
-
Interesting. So with that many casters what kind of spells do you typically try to get of? The Bridge and WLV from what you've been saying, and then?

Alternative Free Guild General or Knight Feedback Welcome
gronnelg commented on JackStreicher's blog entry in Jack‘s Imperial 3D Printing and Hobby Blog
Looks more Brettonian than Freeguild to me. But could certainly be used as Freeguild general. Badass model anyway! -
Ah yes. I was missing the "half of his base size" part. Yeah, you're right. That would be more than 9". Ok, so same scenario, but this time the building is only 6" across. With a 9" charge, Nagash gets to position 2, pivots into position 3. He has now spent all of the 9", but can still glide to within 0,5" of the Clanrats because of flying. Agreed? Edit: Excuse my shoddy Skaven math. That would still need a 12" Charge. Ok, so the same scenarion I outlined above. 6" building. Getting to position 2 would be 9", and then into pos3 would be 12". THEN he can slide down to within 0,5" because of flying. Right?
