Im creating a smaller Skaven tactica for the Palace Herald, and would love it if some other players could put their thoughts and ideas into it. So, if you have any thoughts on specific units or tactics and the like, feel free to post them here. Thanks

Stickfied.

warp lighting cannon

that's some great war machine I would say, a great misfire table(really skaven like) and totally random, it's perfect for distances up to 24"(then you're sure it hits with his 8d6") about the strenght...can be great, can't be great, anything except misfire and 2 are ok enough, it hits anything in his path, also a advantage, hitting multiple units/characters/etc. also has a 4+ ws to protect against other war machines or shooting, and it can march, not really a advantage above other war machines but it can be handy. And all that for only 100 pts, with a bit luck, you can kill a lot more than that dwarven/empire cannon.....

plague priest

one of the best heroes in the game i'd say, lets start with his toughness 5, that's great for a hero and even greater for a skaven hero,
he is frenzied so you have a total of 4 attack, some people see the automatic charge with frenzied units as a disadvantage, but you want your plague priest in combat ASAP, so frenzy is only a advantage....,
you can take a plague censer, one of the best weapons in the game, a thoughness test, he who fails suffers a wound, he who survives in base contact gets 4 st6 attacks :P only too bad he can't take armour, but hey, a ward save or regeneration is even better, so no problem ^_^

these are just 2 of my thoughts of a skaven army....I will post more later I think

The march move on the WLC is VERY useful. I stick it off to the side of the board, march it out parralel to enemy battle line and let it rip. If they advance in a solid battle line( Michael plays a bruiser Chaos army, but thankfully he's changing to VC), you can wreak MAJOR havoc. I killed 3 out of 5 chosen knights once, not to mention the 6 warriors split between two units.

Plague priests are also very nice when you have some Warlock's laying around also. If you fire off Storm Daemon, and a few Warp-Lighning, you can draw out the dispel dice so you can open up a can off whoop tush with a Plague Priest, BOP, and a flail. Strength 10 on charge, with a solid unit of Monks backing him up.

Think about it. It's a good thing.

Skaven magic is a lot of fun. And often effective too. swarm can take out tons of gobbos and other t3 small based units. WL (warp lightning) very effective for the stronger enemy units. frenzy+plauge monks= DEATH FRENZY!!!! 4 attacks a modal!!! how do you beat that? skitterleap works awsome on armys with lots of warmachines in the back ( or other long range units). What you do is, use ALL your magic die to transport you ratling guns, night runners, gutterrunners, solo heros, and jezils behind enemy lines. The effects can be devistating. :thumb: Plauge can take out most any units very quickly also (pretty much self explanitory).

post more later

Albino, you can only transport man sized CHARACTERS so no Jezzails, night runners, gutter runners, and ratling guns, That would also take a lot of Grey Seers to cast all those skitterleaps.

In my army i will put a plauge priest with the cencer and some bases of rat swarms with 10 globadiers.With my seer i will teleport the priest in front of the enemy cavalry.If he doesn't manage to kill them all the globadiers will finish the job. :P

You will put him in the charge arc of a Heavy Cav unit alone? Well they will probably get one wound on him, or even kill him. If they don't they will certainly break him. Not the best idea in the world...

Look.his cencer will protect him.that's why i will put him in front of them.Everyone who touch him must pass a T test i usually playing against elves and always missed his test my friend.But you are right it is riscy so put him on the enemy cavalry flanks in position you can definatly charge him. :P

It's dangerous to throw globes into a combat which involves only a character. You have a %50 percent chance of hitting your own model, and then another %50 chance for a wound. So 25% percent of your throws will wound your PP. I'd say that's a waste of a character.

Ok then unlish to the enemy cavalry the priest with plauge cencer beareres and the plage monks.Nothing could stant against this. :P

Well, then i've been abusing that spell. Okay, one time im up against dwarfs and O&g, i skitterleap all my jezzils and ratlings guns behind the lines, blast them to peices, when they turned around to attack the jezzils and rattling guns,i charge them on the rear! Well, god that spell sux now...

Well after a lot of think i developted a system to pick rigt your lists.
First you have to know everything about your enemy his weakness etc. and then pick the list with this in mind.Pick only two clans.
eg.Acombination of clan skyre with moulder.Or eshin with pestilens and many other.Then you will see that your pts will be increased and the army will be devasting.
