[AoS 2 - Gutbusters Discussion]

How popular do you think Gutbusters are currently despite their 'no battletome' handicap?

I see them played online more than I expected but not overwhelmingly much either.

Thanks, do you think the current "Start collecting" kit would be useful to add to this? 

With what you'd have? No.
After you get all that, add Skyre units or large blocks of 40 man Clanrat units.

I trying to get into AoS and my friend is generous enough to offer me his 1000pt for £40 but I wanted to know a few things first.

He said they are from Fantasy and are a mix of Clan Verminus and Clan Skyre and consists of a "vermin Lord boosting 2 stormvermin units, one arch warlock engineer, 3 stormfiends and one doomwheel."

Will these work well in AoS? Or should I get something a little more current?

A good choice.
And a good price I'd take it.
With this you can expand with the upcoming Skyre set and go Skyre themed.
The Stormvermin are awesome for a more generic route too.
So yeah can't go wrong with this.

Not worried about my comfort - I have a ton of models from WHFB -

So 1 vote for Warlord with 2x units of clanrats

THIS!

Seems to instantly go for some crucial essentials useful in almost any Skaven list.

Has anyone ever tried this range of miniatures?

They're clearly lesser quality compared to GW but seem very good to fill out ranks of large units.

 

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

I don't mind if the models aren't updated all yet. 

Just entering the clans into a battletome adds popularity and validity to em.  

And it might crash them more omnipresently into the fluff/lore of AOS. 

Not really interested in the Flesheater Courts half atm though. Only just finished my Gutbuster army and only just started my military Skaven so Skyre is not 'that' crucial for me.
On the other hand it's good for the fans of that popular Clan and the set adds some visibility to the faction which is good.

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

How do you guys usually move your 40 Skaven units? 4 ranks deep? More?

What would be an optimal depth on average for unit bases?

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

Love it! Not fielding any clanrats at all?

Regarding the new direction of the Grot faction, i wouldn't even need for GW to give skaven the full new release treatment to be happy. I would be very happy with a complete consolidation tome and a couple new units and spells. New units, endless spells or some kind of gnarlmaw mechanic that allows for board mobility, like a gnawhole or spawn pit to deploy your units with. But i don't need a full release like nighthaunt or grots got.

Units i would like to see would be something along the lines of:

New eshin models. Some kind of lesser verminlord daemons. Bigger warmachines for skryre, like a big drill or the twin tail comet machine from total war 2. Maybe some new plagued pestilens rat ogres or explosive bloated rats. I would also like to see something completely new like the rumored skybound skaven with flying machines.

Now that i think of it, i want lots of new models! I wouldn't mind waiting either.

Agreed!

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

I wouldn't mind waiting even a year or 2-3. I'm new to Skaven anyway.
Though I do hope they release some Grand Alliance like books to update factions like Skaven and Gutbusters a bit.

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

Well Pestilence and Moulder could easily go their own route with the grotesqueness of either side.
So easily expandable.
While the techies and Mors could be more or less unified to depict a more generic Skavenforce.
While leaderchoice, batallions and some other nicknacks would allow one to still make something part of either Clan.

 

Still a single tome would mean it's more likely to be updated. 
 

[AoS 2 - Clan Verminus / Skaven Discussion]

New stuff/options/discounts to Clan theme your Skaven. And merging them all in one  book.

I love the idea of fielding more Stormvermins.

If we don’t look at there overcosted prize, fielding a ton of Stormvermins will Be a magnificent side to behold.

in a more competitive way your better of having only 1 unit of 40 Stormvermins.

 

 

Noted. 🤝

Greetings. I am a new Skaven player and picked up 80 secondhand clanrats and a warlord. All square bases though. What is the reigning opinieonderzoek here on mixing basesizes, going pure circular or pure square for Skaven.

Currently I am hoping to build towards a Headtaker themed force. So Clan Mors. I love Stormvermin so plan to field 40 to emulate Headtakers Red Guard. What do you guys think about fielding more Stormvermin than that?
