  1. Oops sorry! Misread the heading.
  2. There are lots of different opinions and several threads on this forum about it. Broadly speaking I dont think too many people would argue with DOK, FEC, Skaven, Slaneesh, Fyreslayers are the top factions.
  3. The units are expensive though and vulnerable. SCE have great shooting but even with that, as an army they are not top tier.
  4. Its on page 2 of the core rules designers commentary notes.
  5. @davisefordThis is very useful indeed. Great work and deeply altruistic. I tip my hat to you sir!
  6. Hope noone minds this post but I know we all like battle reports. I played 1,500pts of Skaven v Stormcast the other day and instead of writing it up my buddy filmed it for his new youtube channel. He is just learning how to do this properly so the camera work is a learning curve but we had a blast playing and the Horned Rat smiled on the result (despite a couple of rule errors on either side!) Check it out if you have some time.
  7. If you have 120pts knocking around you could add 10 stormvermin?
  8. Hi I'm playing with the idea of putting together a small dispossessed force for some 500pt skirmishing/ME. I would be interested in the following if anyone has some spare. Hammerers Ironbreakers Irondrakes Longbeards Preferably on sprue but would also be interested in unpainted and built.
  9. Actually we mostly hate those models and wish they were plastic. Lots of people convert the bloodbowl team as proxies.
  10. Its been posted before but the GW TV scheme is quick and easy. I have done 80 clanrats with it and it was quick.
  11. You would have to add a third battleline and should max out the giant rat units at 40 for 200pts. After that it depends on how you want to play. You could add a warpseer, hellpit and another master moulder or 6x stormfiends + wolf rats. I confess I havnt used wolfrats, stats wise they do look good but the models are expensive at £35 for 5. The best thing about skaven is that there are lots of playable options and you can mix and match as you like.
  12. I'd be tempted to go with: 1 master moulder -100 Packmasters - 60 Giant rats x20 - 120 Giant rats x20 - 120 Rat ogresx6 - 300 Rat ogres x6 - 300 1000 even. If the ogres get into combat they are vicious ( 6 will be pumping out 24 attacks on 4(3s when whipped), 3 to wound, -1, 2 damage. They do need to be whipped to boost bravery and screened by the rats. Or cut some rat ogres and add a hellpit and more pack masters.
  13. I have been using the screaming bell at 1,500pts and the battleshock immunity alone has been a huge benefit. It soaks up wounds and the peal of doom is great random fun (i havnt rolled a free verminlord yet but i have got the -1 to enemy hit rolls lots and it is a very nice effect.
  14. A question for everyone. I played a couple of games today and in the second v Khorne I jumped my 6 Jezzails through a gnawhole to get an angle to shoot my opponents skullcrushers. The gnawhole warscroll says that counts as a move but is it a move for the purposes of the Jezzail's rerolling hit bonus? We couldnt find anything to say either way and ended up playing it like stormcast deepstriking (counts as a move but doesnt stop you getting the bonus for not moving). I am pretty sure I have seen something that said this but cant remember where.
  15. I wish I had a pound for every time someone said 'Tomb Kings' on this thread!
  16. The Stormfiends conversation is really interesting as I am trying out 6 in a 1,500 list tomorrow for games v stormcast and khorne. Arch-warlock -Gryph feather charm -Deranged inventor -More, more, more warp power Grey seer on screaming bell -death frenzy 40 clan rats (spears) 20 clan rats (blades) 6 x stormfiends (windlaunchers, ratling guns, doomflayers) 6 x Jezzails Hoping to delete 2 enemy units a turn and play havoc with their plans.
  17. With 3 new books coming i would wait a few weeks and see what happens with cities of sigmar, Urroks and ogres. Its not death or chaos but of the three the cities is prob going to have something for you.
  18. Hi all A friend of mine has recently set up an AOS youtube channel to show batreps, painting guides and reviews. He is looking to build his following and I wonder if there is anything specific you would like to see more of or things/armies that the big channels dont often cover that could be a niche for him. The channel is called log cabin gaming (because it is based in an amazing log cabin we built in his garden, complete with bar and working beer pumps!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3KFOcLIUQ07AXdpLNpV2LQ Any feedback welcome.
  19. I dislike the double turn. Even when I get it and stomp my opponent it seems a hollow victory because they just watched while I played. As many others have said you can prepare for it, field endless spells, chaff etc and it doesnt break the game. The real awfulness though is when it combines with fighting first abilities. That makes the game even less interactive as the defending player watches a portion of his army get wrecked, rolls 1 dice and then watches the rest get wrecked without response or opportunity to do anything except attack back with mostly depleted units.
  20. @GwendarYou can only cast 1 endless spell? I know you cant try to cast the same one but why cant i use a grey seer to skitterleap an archwarlock (or another seer) and cast WLV and purple sun? I def agree the WLV is the best but I was just trying to see if anyone had been sneaky and trapped opponents in a WLV box with a Purple Sun.
  21. Has anyone tried the new low cost Purple Sun? I was wondering if a skitterleap to the backline, casting it into the heart of the enemy front line and a retreat through a gnawhole might cause a decent amount of chaos for 50pts.
  22. Even if the content lets you play the exact army you want with full support in rules and abilities,? What if dwarfs get back cannons and new units and a new runelaw and other stuff? Would you pay a price of a front cover then? Is the situation perfect? No. Do GW mess things up sometimes? A big yes. But and this is crucial, I think GW should get to release more than a front cover before the sowing of this much salt starts.
  23. Below is the link to the free cities name generator. Should be handy for those looking to start their own city. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/26/make-your-own-free-city-the-easy-way-sep26gw-homepage-post-4/
