Hi everyone,
I usually play 1k games as Skryre and I tend to face lots of behemoths in lists that I'm not equipped to deal with, so I'm considering bringing a mixed Skaven list with plenty of big cheese to please the Great Horned Rat. Typically, my enemies would be:
Sylvaneth
Drycha Hamadreth
Treelord Ancient
10 Dryads
3 Kurnoth Hunters
Some other small units
or
Flesh-Eater Courts
Abbhorant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist
Varghulf Courtier
20 Ghouls
10 Ghouls
A few other units
The Sylvaneth is a big problem, because he gets 2 behemoths, one of which (Drycha) has a 3+ save rerolling 1s thanks to the Ancient, they get 10-12 wounds each, they can heal d6 or d3 wounds per turn and they toss mortal wounds like crazy.
The Death player should be killable if I manage to position some Stormfiends, unleash the dakka and pray for good rolls.
That said, I'd like to change my list and give them a taste of their own medecine by bringing some big rats myself. My idea was:
Warpgnaw Verminlord
Verminlord Warpseer
20 Clanrats
20 Clanrats
1 Warp Lightning Cannon
The idea is to alpha strike with the Verminlords while the Clanrats and WLC chill on back objectives, then the Warpseer starts spawning Giant Rats like crazy.
Any thoughts?
