Dear fellow rat-men,
I am new to Skaven (fulfilling my long-lasting dream and fascination) and my main force will be Skryre themed. I am planning to take my Skryre force to a medium-sized 2K tournament in February and of course, I want to enjoy the Clan Skryre-Gautfyre-Arkhspark shenanigans. As I am slowly assembling and painting this list (made myself a promise this will be first army that gets on the table only when fully painted and based), I am aiming for this base:
Clan Skryre - Gautfyre - Arkhspark
Arch-Warlock
Warlock Enginneer
Warlock Engineer
Stormfiends (Projectors)
Stormfiends (Projectors)
5x Skryre Acolytes
Warpfire Thrower Team
Warp-grinder
Warp Lightning Cannon
This brings me to 1610 points worth of rats and is first on the painting line; the cannon will actually get based today. In terms of what I have at my disposal at the moment (no problem to buy another boxes, I am spoiled like that) - 2x SC Pestilens (1x WLC already built, some monks will be converted into Acolytes); 3 boxes of Stormfiends (2x3 to be built and converted to Projectors only, possible magnets?); IoB set, 2 nice pewter Warlocks, 1 nice pewter Ikit Claw, Arch-warlock conversion out of Mechanicum (underway); box of 20 Clanrats, box of 20 Stormvermin (some might fall victim to Jezzail conversions), finecast Assassin and blood bowl box that I intend to convert into 10x Gutter runners. Malign Sorcery and Balewind is at my disposal, too.
Anyways - what do you suggest as the best filler for the remaining 390 points of the roster? Currently I am leaning either towards Clanrat/Stormvermin blob, or getting clever with Gutter Runners/Plague monks.
Adding some pictures, too!
Thanks!
