I was playing skaven for a little while but I’m definitely not a hoard player so while I don’t know everything skaven can do I have a fairly solid understanding of some of the tricks they can pull off.
-
I don’t. 3 stegadons a bastiladon and kroak are enough to handle skaven lol
-
@vinnyt man you are getting me psyched to throw out my triple turtle list. It’s gonna be so much fun.
-
I’m not at all worried about the moulder list. I got enough output that it won’t be an issue
-
There’s a skaven player in our meta who is either bringing 4 warp lightning cannons or a 15 stormfiends list to our tournament this weekend and another one is bringing all clan moulder. The 4 warp lightning cannons terrifies me since I know just how crazy those can get lol
-
@vinnyt so can’t pull off double turtles and everything else in a futhane list unfortunately everything is just a little to expensive (turtles need to drop like 20 points). But I have a list with the triple turtles the king a tidecaster and one shark. Luckily for me the big waagh player doesn’t spam gore gruntas he seems to be leaning into bonesplittaz stuff or kruleboyz stuff, but sprinkles in the ironjawz. And I outdrop him. Super excited to get it out on the table.

@vinnyt that sounds like an outstanding showing for the deepkin. I’m excited to get mine on the table this coming Wednesday against a big waagh list that I’m actually pretty terrified of from all the mortal wounds it can do. list is most likely going to be 3 turtles the blender king and a tidecaster but I’ve been thinking about maybe trying futhaen list with double turtles 3 sharks the blender king and a aspect of the sea eidolon and if points allow a tidecaster
-
@martinwolf yes it’s only In high tide but since you can pull off 3 combat phases of high tide for the bonus to trigger is it really that hard to feasibly kill whatever he hits?
-
Nobody in my local meta thinks that triple turtles are going to do much of anything and they wrote off the blender king so they’re in for a treat when i get everything on the board. for the king is the armor better or the potion for his artifact? I like both what I don’t like is the mortals the king takes from the potion.
-
@Sonnenspeer give it a shot. I think you’d be better holding till turn 2 so everyone can run and charge but it could work. I’m working on a nautilar list with the triple turtles, the smashy king, a tidecaster and a shark most likely with the net launcher to help prevent pile in’s

@That Guy yea, when I saw turtles as battleline I went for it, not the best list out there but I do like your idea of the eidolon of the sea and a tide caster or swap the tide caster for lotann and get that sweet +1 to wound on the turtle attacks. When I get this army on the table it’ll be a blast to play I’m sure. And yes I did use water texture. Specifically Vallejo water texture. It was a little weird to use since it doesn’t look the way it does when it’s dry when you apply it. Did the waves with a butter knife/normal kitchen knife by pressing down and lifting up and the sand is also Vallejo ground texture grey sand.
-
So change of pace. Swapping to a shark since some inspiration hit me. Not close to finished yet need a few more colors to finish up on the shark and go back and do a little more work on the turtles.
-
@Chronos I was planning on a king and a tidecaster or lotann. And I appreciate the compliments, it’s really encouraging me to keep going. Currently I’m working on some sharks. I’ll post the work on them in the next few days. Needed to stop on the turtles for a few days and handle some life stuff, and then a scheme for the sharks popped in my head.
-
@That Guy So this was all theoretical since my 2 eidolons are both sitting in their boxes unbuilt. I do believe you’re right double sea eidolon wouldn’t be worth it. My question becomes what do you use that possible -3 to save rolls on? Since the best targets in say the stormcast book can just shrug it off with their spell ignore. If they roll high enough on their dice roll anyways
-
I was thinking about double eidolon of the sea
-
Does anyone think there might be play in a double eidolon list?
-
So after gw dropped this most recent update for prime targets/prime hunters what if anything are you guys changing in your lists? While I see some people saying this update won’t change anything I think it will to some degree, I don’t think we will be seeing triple bastiladon/ double bastiladon or 6 salamanders in lists anymore because you risk giving up 2 points per unit for salamanders or 3 points per unit depending on what army you’re fighting, and same goes with bastiladons. That while maybe not an all the time thing can definitely swing a game in your opponent’s favor.
-
I don’t think it’ll gain traction in the wider meta. All they’ll do is make it give up a ton of bonus points to armies like they did to the wind spirits and other units.
-
And thanks I appreciate the compliments. Super excited to get it on the table.
-
Funny enough the turtle skin is gw’s paint scheme.
-
So work continues. On the turtles. Slicing my finger open sucks since I’m restricted on being able to build and paint things since I use my right hand to hold things and I can’t get the best grip right now due to my finger being useless. ( it’s amazing how much I use my right pointer finger as a lefty). Been messing with dry brushing the water on the bases and for the 3rd and final turtle I went with an all water base thinking that it would look more exciting to switch up the basing. Hope you all enjoy. 3rd turtle will be painted most likely next week and then I start work on 10 sharks and 2 kings. I don’t have confidence in my ability to paint up the crew of the turtles so I’m trying to avoid that as much as possible.
-
Yea I was fiddling with the list and found that if I drop one I can put in lotann and a tidecaster. It’s probably not a list I’d run anytime soon but I’m convinced that the list has some play, maybe not gonna win a GT or a major but could be a solid win into a one day or a couple casual games.
-
I have been talking with a friend and I think this list has some tricks to it. Can definitely be edited to be “better” but given the damage potential from a king my thoughts are that this could do some work and can definitely be made more interesting by changing some things up maybe dropping a king for lotan and a tidecaster.

I think this book is going to be a fine balance of screens to hold off the very legit alpha strikes from armies like iron jawz and enough power that when you slam into your opponent in combat turn’s 2 and 3 you can ride the wave through and still win out. This is my first time playing this army so I’m excited to see how it plays, feels like dark eldar or eldar in 40K, glass hammer you play right you’ll win 90% of the time you mess up though and you’re done before the game has really made it to turn 2 or 3

May have to proxy it for a game or two and see how it plays out. Might see some use in the shark army I’m building.
