Great! So a Verminius list might be viable! From what I understand, maybe it makes sense to change the endless to maybe more bodies. Does it make sense to exchange the WS and GS against a bell and use the remaining points to add more bodies, e.g. more clanrats, giant rats and weapon teams (WFT)? What do you think?

A while back I bought 10 night runners, still on the sprue, from a popular auction site. I'm guessing the seller only wanted half of the box.
Anyway, I've been using them alternately as a single unit of night runners or 2 units of gutter runners. I have to say that I've been impressed by both units for their points value. So much so that I've bought another box of 20. Now I'm wondering how I can make them distinct so that they aren't confused with each other on the battlefield.
What are your thoughts? What do other people do?
I can build them with different weapon loadouts, but the colour scheme is fairly strict i.e. black 😁
There are squad markers for bases out there, e.g. https://3dboadgamesaccessories.com/collections/dessous-de-socles.

Maybe you could post the list you used and maybe some lessons learned? I believe it has been doing quite well. I was kind of watching it during painting, so did not get everything?

Nice! How did you do the big rattling guns with 4 barrels? What parts did you use?

Yes, the lack of a horde bonus still hurts, but we aren’t really affected by the new coherency rules. Because of GW’s rules being in inches but bases having to be sold in mm, our 25mm bases mean that even stringing Clanrats out in single file means that there are 2 models within 1”. The one and only time I’ve had to think about coherency is with a unit of 6 rat ogres when I played pure moulder.
But I love that list though. I might even steal that 🤣
Just make sure nobody picks and removes one model in the middle (Warpgnaw) if only a little poorly placed, you have to remove half of the unit due to ceherency and the other half due to battleshock...

You do know, that you can’t make use of the hidden weapon team rules in this case.
Sorry, but I do not know what you mean. I cannot use hidden weapon teams with the warp grinder?
-
Actually in this case I would have preferred to set them up regularly, so basically in reserve to force more drops from the frenemy. Anyways, first still a lot of assembling and painting to do😄
-
Great! Actually I believe this makes this list even more meaningful as you can outdrop basically every frenemy and have the possibility to position the vulnarable units you have to drop where they might hurt them least.

You have way too many units to fit them all in one battle regiment. You can't even fit them into two.
1 hour ago, Cosmicsheep said:I think the point here is that the WFT and Deathmasters don’t count as drops and therefore don’t have to be in the battalion.
You are correct though, it’s not a single drop army. The battle regiment allows 3 leaders and 5 troops which would be the grey seers and clawlord, and the 3 battleline and the 2 grinders. The deathmasters and WFT are hidden inside those battlelines. The 6 giant rats would not fit.
I might be wrong here, but my idea was to have the battle regiment (grey seers, clawlord, clan rats, giant rats) as one drop. All the rest is in reserve so no drop. However, I might be wrong here as the rules seems not to be very clear, at least to me.
The alternative understanding would be that all units have to be set up, even if in reserve. In this case, I can set up all units in reserve, wait for my frenemy to be set up and set up all my units accordingly. This will probably interfere with me dictating the first round, but might even be better for this army, as I can set up 12 units in reserve before being forced to set up on the board. What do you think?
-
Followed up on my idea and developed it into a one drop list (battle regiment). The idea is to go second and hope for the double turn. WG and SV with weapon teams show up close to a vulnerable spot, weapon teams are dropped 6" from frenemy and burn-shoot them. Warpgale (and weapon teams screen) prevents charging of SV by most dangerous unit and allows me charging if I fail the turn they show up.
Still open for optimization are the weapon teams (WFT vs RG) and the spells of the GS. Is it competitive? I do not know. Will it be a lot of fun? For sure! Just need loads of SV now...
What do you think?

My plan is to run it with 20 clanrats hiding 2 Ratling guns. With an Arch Warlock general with overseer of destruction placed on the edge of the deployment zone it is possible to get him within 12" to give +1 damage and re-rolls hits to both in turn 1.
If you were feeling crazy, you could extend this to 60 clanrats hiding 3 Ratling guns and 3 WFT 😂😂
Similar here. However, my question is rather related on a "true" deepstrike force. 20 CR are only a carrier and with 2 RG or WFT a nice distraction, but will not be really able to pin down and destroy the frenemies.
I am thinking of 2x 30 SV plus weapon teams and maybe deathmasters in order to charge-kill things as well.

I have played him with six Stormfiends and an engineer. Main downside of course - the only available buff the turn they show up is the warpstone token.
I believe this is not possible? "Instead of setting up this model on the battlefield, you can place this model to one side and say that it is set up tunnelling as a reserve unit. If you do so, when you would set up another friendly SKAVENTIDE unit that is not a MONSTER or a WAR MACHINE, instead of setting up that unit on the battlefield, you can say that it is joining this model tunnelling as a reserve unit." From battle scribe, I do not own the Skaven book yet. Of course SF can tunnel on their own.
-
What is actually the best synergy with a Warp Grinder? So far I have thought about expendable CR with WFT, but I see potential for some other tricks, such as warpgale to (hopefully) block charges, putting in SV and adding a Deathmaster or two for charging myself and some extra damage? If we are lucky, maybe we managed to bring a GS or CL close for some extra punch. What do you think? Just for fun or will it have a good effect?

thoughts?
Ps: don’t be fooled by the drop counter, the list builder just doesn’t understand my genius.
in all matter of fact, thanks to the weapon team rule, this is in all actuality a 2drop
Thought about your crazy list again. You could potentially make it even more crazy by dropping two Warpgrinders, beefing up the tunneling clanrats to 60 an reducing the other block to 10 SV. If my math is right, another 3 RG...

For competitions like tournaments and painting competitions it is largely up to the TO but most TO's follow "mostly GW mini's" followed by the rule of cool. I was told once that as long as a random person familiar with the army could reasonably understand what model represents which unit without much explanation you are good. But again... Up to the TO
Thank you! Might go for some smaller local tournaments eventually. Most of my minis are GW (basically all clan rats and most of the other stuff), but there are so many cool minis out there, e.g. by Punga or ResinWarfare. With 3D design at the computer and 3D printing, it democratized the hobby quite a bit! And with limited availability of some lines and old designs...

Happy New Year to everyone!
But back to business: What do you think about these conversation kits https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/battlebits/battle-bits-ratmen-conversion-parts, available here https://strataminiatures.com/shop/?store-page=Globerat-Conversion-Set-Resin-p222152124? Suitable or not? What about competitions?

Some good looking Skyre there
Gutted i sold my own Skyre force years ago!
Still, rolled out my Eshin for a lil test prior to our Campaign weekend and it went... ehhh
My List (Very limited by the initial Campaign mode restrictions, max 6 units and nothing over 300pts!) :
600pts
Warlord Battalion
Deathmaster
General, Cube of mists
Deathmaster
The 3 Fangs
Deathmaster
20 Night runners
10 Night Runners
5 Gutter runners
Coming up against:
Vampire Dragon Centaur
5 Blood Knights
10 Skeletons (Possibly summoned)
Fighting over objectives down the centre line.
I reasoned i couldnt outrun such a fast force so moved up to focus fire on his general, knocking off a couple of wounds before getting smooshed on the charge pretty much!
All 3 assassins had a go at the general to no use, only for my Three Fangs to instagib it in my next shooting phase much to everyones shock
Unfortunately despite some early VPs from objectives the Blood Knights unstoppably mowed through my units one at a time and i could never get enough damage to stick past their regen to even slow them down really.
Fun game, but i realised i cant let them charge, even risky long ones need to speedbump better and looking forward to the 1000pt bracket when i can fit a verminlord!
Good luck with your next game! Think about more bodies (clanrats) and maybe some weapon teams!

Yeah, but as a skavenplayer risk is what makes my daily bread😜.
also, the deceiver is just their to get the plague priest up, more then 6away from the enemy, to get his curse spell of on one enemy unit.
the warlock bombardier should be able to use jump from one gnawhole to another.
with the rest of the army tunneling up in the first round, I should be able to get a ton of shooting done, without much of a thought.
whatever foe has been cursed won’t survive too long
For taking risks, I rather risk to blow my stuff up 🙂 But really curious how this goes for you!

But with the Warbringer casting DDF (hopefully 3 times with a lucky D3 roll) on my 60 Clanrats who are re-rolling 1’s, and have an extra attack thanks to the clawlord, I’m hoping for death by a thousand cuts 😂
Try this on a cursed target, so squeeze in a plague priest! With a thousand paper cuts, we cannot kill anything meaningful at the moment 😞

@Chase
I might not be the best one giving you advise as mainly theoryhammer player ATM. However, a few thoughts:
- Skitterleap will not work with Thanquol I believe. Strategy with Skitterleap and WLV seems not to work too well with current meta.
- Not enough bodies with only 50 Clanrats, Stormvermin. They will die instantly.
- Thanquol and Stormfiends might work as Hammers, but you are sinking a lot of points in and SF need babysitting and MMMWP to really deal damage. I have seen Thanquol with 4 WFT wiping out big rank and file units. In my opinion, you have to shoot and charge them in hopefully finishing the attacked unit, but you need some speed bumps to absorb the counter charge.
- My suggestion would be to exchange the AW vs. another bombardier, drop the cannon for more bodies (100 clanrats total).
