    Why are you here?

    At the time, I wasn't looking to play another wargame.....I had too many.

    The woman who would later be my wife, played Lizardmen. Our game group trades gifts for Xmas, and they all conspired to get me into AoS so me and 'that girl over there' would have a similar hobby and maybe start talking.

    So they all got me Skaven. (IoB starter, 2 boxes of Clanrats, and a Doomwheel) 

     

    I'm not sure why they chose Skaven, beyond no one else played it and I have a Skaven Bloodbowl team.

    @5kaven5lave this link might be worth adding to the opening post

    https://www.scribd.com/document/325855280/Skaven-Collector-s-Guide-Revised-Updated?campaign=SkimbitLtd&ad_group=11082X693941Xef7d298153c11b726594c93933bff296&keyword=660149026&source=hp_affiliate&medium=affiliate

    It's an archive of all the skaven models up to around 2002 made by GW - a great reference for a lot of the older legacy models that some might find interesting! It's made by Tristran (no idea if they post here too) over on the Underhive forums. 

    that link is super handy.

    I have some of the old Skaven sculpts, either from trades or I bought to use for BloodBowl

    Anyone know a good source of giant rats?🐀

    You kinda get a few from various kits (kinda like Ripperswarms from 40k Tyranids).

    If I remember right, you get a few from:

    Doomwheel

    Plague Monks 

    Rat Ogors

    Screaming Bell/ Plague Censor?

    Can we talk about the StormFiends load out?

    If I'm reading it right, we can mix weapons as long as it's not more than 1/3 of the unit.

    So we could mix melee centric models with shooty models (which I dont think we could have done via the Chaos book).

    In extreme, I could have a 6 man unit with 1 of each loadout, correct?

    I think it basically means the Skaven army has, over the years, lost only three things:

    1) Skaven Slaves (which to be fair whilst they fit the lore were never "that" good and always felt like poorer clan rats. Plsu the original models were all metal and never got a plastic update so people just used clan rats anyway)

    I don't see it as losing Skaven Slaves, but gaining more Clanrats :D

    Whats the opinion on the age old adage of Hand Weapons vs. Spears for Clanrats? The way I see it, it's burst damage vs sustain. You're always going to hit better with hand weapons, whereas with spears you're reliant on buffs to do much. From what math I've seen, if you can reliably get more dudes in combat, such as against 32mm or 40mm based enemies, spears are better. Blades are better versus everything else. Does this make sense?

    Yup

    Without going too deep, I bring both and use them for different things. Hand weapons go after units, spears go hunting for large based things
