So here we go. Revamped again, with a fair few significant changes. There's a very noticeable one I'd love some feedback on. To the list!
Lords
Grey Seer (general)

Ho hum. Why 2 seers you ask? Well between them I get 8 spells, most of the time I'll probably have every good skaven spell available. I also get Dreaded 13th twice. And with 2 casts a turn, even with no power scroll i'm likely to get it off. "But you'll almost never get 12 dice every turn!" Of course, but over the course of the game I should get it twice or more. Why? Well these two get 2D3 Warpstone tokens (i.e. extra dice, one use only) in addition to a power scroll (essentially 2 tokens tied together) and between them have a 1/3 chance to channel. So assuming averages it's not unlikely for me to fire out 12 dice in a turn when I rolled a 3,2.
This also means that if my seer gets thumped by dwellers or another one of those stupid spells I have a backup seer!

The cost for the extra wizard came from my Warlock. I think 2 LV4s and a LV1 is too much. He kept his rocket though.

Standard of Discipline, the general goes here. I have no idea why I didn't take it sooner. LD8 for all!

Standard MSU Stormvermin, WFTs are awesome. Although with 3 I expect some explosions.

More rats. I love these things. I find the tiny footprint and M6 makes a big difference.

These guys are AWESOME. I don't think I'll ever run without the full 15. They just irritate people so much. I love them. :3

Staying because they've done me proud over the course of a few games. Sniping out important targets or just taking down heavy infantry and cavalry.

While over the course of my games these haven't done much, they only cost 50pts so it's to be expected. I wish you could take units of 2 still though.

Do I need a reason? I Think these two are up there with the Seer for "made most points this edition". I'm going to start counting from now. Hehehe.
So, what? Why don't I have any doomwheels or a hellpit? Well, the hellpit would be nice, I'm not going to lie. But I think just one of them will get shot up and die all too easily. Doomwheels I'm not a fan of because they don't really synergise with this army. They're good yes, but the fact I can't hold them back voluntarily bothers me. Whereas I wouldn't have any need to hold back a Hellpit.
Well, there's the list. What do we think?

I still think you should combine 2 of the slave units into a larger 40 man unit, but other than that, looks good.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff. What's the deal with the gutter runners? How are you using them that makes them so awesome?
ReplyDeletePretty much as they were in my batrep. They usually don't even take casualties till turn 4-5. But 5 kills every turn adds up over the course of a game. In addition they rock socks vs war machines and high toughness beasties with bad saves, like most greater daemons, giants, ghorgons and that kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteA big slave unit is a not bad idea, but I 'm afraid of panicking everything nearby with the Cornered Rats! >_>
