    I was thinking about this too.... it would alert your opponent if you rolled for tunnel skulkers 5 times on a unit of clanrats with 4 weapons team.
  2. Cosmicsheep
    Me too, even if I am slightly cynical in thinking that GW probably wasn’t selling many of these expensive metal sculpts 🤔
  3. Cosmicsheep
    I'm going to really enjoy taking 3 x 40 clanrats and 4 warpfire throwers and watching my opponent try to guess where they are 😁
  4. Cosmicsheep
    Do we think that the Hidden Weapons Team ability will allow the weapons teams to appear closer than the usual 9" away? It would be kinda pointless if not. 250pts for 10 Stormvermin, a warpfire thrower and a grinder is still quite a lot of points for the chance to delete an entire unit of 1 wound enemy troops on turn 1. But so so much fun 😂😂

    Oh fraptious day. I hope these new rules are true. I never saw the point of the weapons teams in the current shooting meta, but hidden teams is such a sneaky Skaven tactic 😁 And I'm super excited for the moulder mutations. I've been building up my moulder models recently. Are these going to be 3.0 rules, part of the broken realms or a new battletome?

    if the new box set is as described (and you buy 2 of them) and you wanted to kitbash some Acolytes. You could add another 3 stormfiends and run something like this:LeadersThanquol on Boneripper (390)- General- 4 Warpfire BraziersWarlock Bombardier (120)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Warlock Bombardier (120)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Battleline3 x Stormfiends (260)3 x Stormfiends (260)3 x Stormfiends (260)20 x Skryre Acolytes (200)ArtilleryWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Warp Lightning Cannon (180)Total: 1970 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 113

    You can absolutely take Thanquol.. BUT only if he is the general. Your bombardier would have to be a normal hero, and ALL other models MUST be from Clans Skryre

    Those red eyes definitely look like rats to me.... and did everyone spot the Skaven logos and MoulderPitt on the map? Or is that just wishful thinking
  9. Cosmicsheep
    Literally just watched the video from yesterday and was about to post the same thing. I love Moulder, so keeping all my fingers and toes crossed. And also hoping that those red eyes belong to a filthy horde of rats yes-yes 😁
  10. Cosmicsheep
    Nothing to see here
  11. Cosmicsheep
    So it is (I thought I was going mad)
  12. Cosmicsheep
    Yeah, I’m now wondering whether I imagined seeing a list of point changes for GHB 2020 (it’s been a while since I played because of Covid) but I’ve check Azyr and Warscroll Builder, both show 110pts. 🤔🤔
  13. Cosmicsheep
    Yes, the book was updated shortly after publication. I can’t seem to find a link to the details, but Azyr and Warscroll Builder have up-to-date points values
  14. Cosmicsheep
    Also, Warlock Engineers are 110pts
  15. Cosmicsheep
    You really need an engineer, or bombardier to buff those Stormfiends with MMMWP and/or the vigordust injector. They’ll be next to useless without their buffs. Unfortunately, at 1000pts that means losing Thanquol 😰
  16. Cosmicsheep
    Ahhh.... that is as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University
  17. Cosmicsheep
    What’s your plan for these? I love the models, and have a couple myself, but with the 8” range and the LOS shooting I find they normally get picked off early.
  18. Cosmicsheep
    Arch-Warlock has the WARLOCK ENGINEER keyword too 😉
  19. Cosmicsheep
    Doomwheels are popular at the moment (scroll back a few pages) but benefit from an engineer Hellpits are great at clearing hordes (if you can get there with their sporadic movement) and don't need much synergy Assassins are not worth it IMHO (see previous post) Plague Furnace is redundant in your list since you already have the bell, unless you plan on taking 40 monks Lightning cannon's can be good if you need some mortal wound ouput. If you're taking an engineer (or Ikit Claw) he can buff both the cannon and fiends if he's within range I'm a big fan of Thanquol, and with his recent (small) point reduction i think you'll start seeing him in more lists. Also look at a Clawlord for buffing those Stormvermin and try to maximise the unit sizes for those tasty buffs. (i.e. think 40 stormvermin)
  20. Cosmicsheep
    You're not wrong 😂
  21. Cosmicsheep
    The new Generals Handbook has superced the old Malign Sourcery book. They've drastically reduced the amount of artefacts and Ghystrike is no longer there. See page 102 ownwards in the GHB
  22. Cosmicsheep
    Yes.. just realised that you'd only be deploying the Deciever and hastily (obvisouly not hastily enough) edited my post 🤐
  23. Cosmicsheep
    @Skreech Verminking Haha.... brilliant. Please capture the look on his/her face after you've finished deployment 🤣🤣🤣
  24. Cosmicsheep
    So i'm thinking of running this list for my next game: The general idea being: Nightrunners deployed last but in front of the enemies largest threat. Immediately push up 2D6" Warlock starts in a gnawhole at the back of the board and casts cogs (using warpspark where necessary) Nightrunners run (using the +2 from the cogs) to get as far forward as needed Stormfiends come out of the grinder hole just behind the nightrunners Warlock comes through nearest gnawhole to support Plague monks come out of grinder hole on opposite side of board Varpgnaw comes out of nearest gnawhole to support plague monks Fiends should be within ratling range and put everything into the largest threat (with spark and vigordust buffs) Plague monks only need a 6" charge (innate +1, cogs +2) and warpgnaw has CP to re-roll if necessary Clanrats protect flanks and/or grab objectives What do we think ?? I'm a little unsure about the lack of battleshock immunity, I normally take a bell.
  25. Cosmicsheep
    True enough.... but in this instance i was playing against a slow moving Dwarf army and wasn't too concerned about his extra movement. I used an engineer sat in a gnawhole at the back of the board so he was a) out of unbind range and b) +1 to cast and with a spark should i need the reroll And with my gnawholes half way up the board on the left and right edges he wasn't close enough to block them Watching Coach's video has really made me re-think my deployment tactics and that's what i'm trying to share with the forum Nothing against your method, and i totally understand what you mean about grinders. Being able to pop-up anywhere and with the enemy having no way to stop AND bringing a unit from off the board is hard to play against i'm sure. TBH i don't have any grinders so haven't tried them myself. Maybe i'll proxy in a WFT in my next game
