Talking of Plague Monks, was looking at allying in a Nurgle Lord of Blights for the -2 to hit in shooting and -1 combat on a unit of 20+. That would help them get across the board with less losses. With a Warpseer you’d have loads of CPs to keep a couple of units buffed. Just need a Pestilens general and you’re good to go.

I think we’re looking at at least 3 years before we get anything new, we’ve just been given a top-tier Battletome and that’ll have to do for a while unfortunately.

Did that Forgeworld email this morning get anyone else thinking? Potential Giant Rats?
-
Anyone got any tips for using the Warpseer? I’m guessing we keep him loosely chained to big blobs of rats for the CA and otherwise use him as a hard to kill CP farm? Can he do much in melee or is he more of a backfield support piece with the spells etc.?

Add 20 points and get a WLC? They’re better than they were and fun but I know what I’d rather take.

Can confirm, they melt anything and are super mobile.

Cheers, did have him with the SoJ initially but yeah that blade is fluffy (he could use it to carve out gnawholes) and makes him a better all-rounder.

A great victory!! I’ve played a good few games of ‘pure’ Skryre now and come out the other side with about a 40% win ratio so it’s time to adapt a bit. Here’s what I’m gonna start running as my mixed Skaventide, hoping it’s got a bit of everything. Wasn’t sure about the Seer but I think Skitterleap would be a good addition: Allegiance: SkaventideMortal Realm: GhurLeadersVerminlord Warpseer (260)- General- Trait: Master of Magic - Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm Verminlord Corruptor (260)Grey Seer (120)- Lore of Ruin: SkitterleapArch-Warlock (160)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Battleline20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Blade20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty SpearUnits40 x Plague Monks (240)- Foetid Blades30 x Skryre Acolytes (320)War MachinesWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Endless SpellsWarp Lightning Vortex (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 173

Also, you went blades not staves? Did that work ok?
-
Obviously make sure you have an engineer near one of your cannons but avoid overcharging until they’re almost dead I’d say. That blob of 6 Fiends will go mental if you cast MMWP on them and spend a Warpstone Spark too. Just be aware that you will be low on bodies and that Stormfiends can occasionally dissapoint as they’re quite swingy in my experience. Good luck!!

Will post it up if it’s helpful for you guys. Really, REALLY want to have a bash at this list: Allegiance: SkaventideMortal Realm: UlguLeadersVerminlord Corruptor (260)- General- Trait: Savage Overlord - Artefact: Sword of Judgement Arch-Warlock (160)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Great Unclean One (340)- Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell- AlliesBattleline20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty SpearUnits40 x Plague Monks (240)- Foetid Blades30 x Skryre Acolytes (320)War MachinesWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Endless SpellsWarp Lightning Vortex (100)Vermintide (40)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 340 / 400Wounds: 172 Would have loads of wounds, lots of bodies, lots of spells, a bit of shooting. Think it would be fun!!

Has anyone ever tried to drybrush the big Warpstone blocks on stuff like WLCs and Doomwheels or do people generally take time to edge highlight it all? Have 3 WLCs looking at me and after edge highlighting all that bronze and silver I’m not sure I can face it!!
-
It’s a fair point and I’m gonna keep experimenting. 30 bodies and that attacking power and mobility for 60 points more than 3 Stormfiends is worth exploring though I think.
-
Cast more-more warp power on them and they become very scary.
-
I think so, but if you have the models get experimenting. As long as you don’t feed them to a Stardrake they can make a mess of a lot of stuff. Run and shoot, -2 rend with guaranteed 2 damage minumum with a Warpstone Spark, Bravery 8 if you lose less than 10 in the first round, a lot of bodies in a clan that really needs them. Plus the massive regiment discount of 40 points can go a long way. That price tag though. I’ve been slowly buying 5 a month for a few months to space it out.
