    I imagine there will at least be a kit for some elites, a mage, a buff guy and a lord on foot and mounted. Hoping for a large centrepiece kit, would love for there to be a generic hero on the Sphinx thing!

    Very excited by the new models, didn’t like Teclis at first but he’s growing on me. Eltharion is fantastic! I like that they have the whole high elf thing going on and that they’re quite grounded. I love the ‘out there’ factions of AOS as well and having a bit of both just means there’s something for everyone!

    I think you do two mortal wounds, as on a 6 to hit the attack sequence ends so you no longer have a damage characteristic.

    Does anyone know where to find a good tutorial for sculpting acolyte gas masks? I’ve got a few from the lightning cannon kit but I doubt I’ll have enough to kit out all my acolytes so wanna try my hand at making some

    So this month I’m going with: convert 20 Skryre acolytes paint 3 gnawholes paint a grey seer paint at least 20 clanrats

    Thanks for the replies guys. Think I will go with the cave idea. @kamuffinz thanks for the link I’ll definitely throw a few of those in. @sorokyl your army looks fantastic!

    Hey guys, was looking for a little inspiration on basing Gloomspite models, was wondering what other people had done for them. I was considering going for the toxic swamp base with some grassy bits. Worried it might look a little bit too Nurgle though. What do you guys do for your bases?

    Hi all, looking into starting fyreslayers myself in the near future. I’ll likely end up with 20 or so HGB but I’m not sure what to equip them with? The poleaxes look great for mortal wounds but the Broadaxes seem a little more reliable. Which way would you guys go?
  9. Xelotath
    I think you could have a lot of fun with a list like this. Highly mobile with Doomwheels and characters being skitterleaped about to support them, lightning cannons popping out of Gnawholes and some combat punch from the deceiver, highly doubt it would be competitive but a tonne of fun!

    What are people’s thoughts on mixed skaven with quite heavy Pestilins? I thought something like this. did consider dropping vermintide and congregation of filth for 20 gutter runners
  11. Xelotath
    Looks amazing, is it just a concept atm or can you actually buy it?
  12. Xelotath
    So if you have a brick of 40 plague monks, with no buffs are you better off with blades or woe staves?
  13. Xelotath
    Completely failed the last time I made a pledge, hopefully I’ll stay motivated and have a bit more time in April so- finish 20 plague monks and an Arch Warlock (fingers crossed I’ll have them done by the end of this weekend) 20 clanrats warlock bombardier 3 stormfiends. if I can force myself to sit down for at least an hour every evening these shouldn’t be too Unrealistic! also just realised if I knock out a warp lightening vortex as well I’ll have 1000pts fully painted so I’ll add that as a stretch!
  14. Xelotath
    @Kramer that’s actually an interesting point I hadn’t really thought of it like that. Currently I use units of 20 and am looking at going up to 40 man units soon, was planning on going spears as it seemed the obvious choice but when you factor in that they die to a stiff breeze or less blades may be the better option! Perhaps if you use 3x units of 40 and maybe death frenzy you can be confident you’ll have enough bodies to benefit from spears but maybe less than that it’s not worth it so much. Certainly worth looking into for me.
  15. Xelotath
    Thanquol and the grey seer warpstone tokens aren’t the same thing as warpstone sparks. Sparks are the Skryre resource, so it doesn’t cost for grey seers to use them. Spears have 2” range rather than one, so more rats can attack at once. It’s better with large numbers and buffs. If you go for less rats in a unit than blades are better. hope that helps
  16. Xelotath
    Working towards this army atm, although I feel there are probably better options than the stormfiends. Gutter runners perhaps? Perhaps a verminlord? What do people think?
  17. Xelotath
    So I cracked open my first box of plague monks today and there are tonnes of rats on the sprue. Anyone thrown these on bases and used them as giant rats? Are they big enough, is one big enough to fill out a base or are you better off with two?
  18. Xelotath
    @Gwendar those rat ogres look fantastic! How do you think you will tackle bigger things like the screaming bell. Would love to see a verminlord with that scheme! Also how are you going to base them?
  19. Xelotath
    Pics of the rat ogres please! I really like the sin city look you’ve got going there!

    https://jesterpaintingstudio.weebly.com/blog/how-to-speed-paint-skaven i really like this tutorial for clanrats, I think somebody posted it on TGA before but I can’t remember who
  21. Xelotath
    Is it not the case with most armies though? Like Putrid Blightkings are battleline in a pure Nurgle army and to be a Nurgle army all units must have the keyword. Then allies are a seperate thing, if nothing else I feel that’s the way it’s intended but it’s certainly not written in a clear enough manner
  22. Xelotath
    So many fun looking units it’s hard to decide what I want. I think to start with I’ll go with something along the lines of: Verminlord Warpseer Screaming Bell Warlock Engineer/Bombardier Clawlord Plague priest/Claw Lord 40 clanrats 40 clanrats 40 clanrats 40 plague monks Warp lightning cannon Warp lightning cannon Should be a fun list to try although I’m worried there will be some overlap between the Bell and the warpseer battleshock abilities
  23. Xelotath
    That would be interesting and I certainly think that should at least happen with clanrats. I feel Pestilins are quite distinct from the other skaven though and as they have their own Battletome already my feeling is that they will stay that way. I expect Skryre will keep their allegiance and be in the back of the Skaven Battletome much like Soulblight and then the book will have options to mix and match like you said. Just my (un) edjucated guesswork though. At least we can take away that Skaven are coming and that’s exciting
  24. Xelotath
    So the recent rumours suggest that a lot of AOS 1 books will be updated in one week releases and that Skaven will get a small release this year and a big one next year. So Carrion armoured aside maybe the ‘small’ release will just be an updated Pestilins Battletome?
  25. Xelotath
    Ah thanks for the link I was unaware of that, haven’t played Sigmar since 2.0 came out so a little confused on where everything is sometimes. also I was wondering what people thought about endless spells for Skryre, I’ve heard Cogs are pretty much universally good and Balewind for an Arch Warlock is great, but what about others? I’m quite unfamiliar with most of them. cheers
