This is my 1,000 point skaven army. So have fun ripping it to pieces and telling me its strengths and weakness's. :thumb:

too be honest with you i would not take the warstone tokens with the warlock as unles you also have a grey seer it's useless, they can only cast one version of warp lightning per turn so say for example both cast the harder version (9+) and use 3 d6 each they will have no power dice left (normally at this point you would use the tokens) but they have no more spells to cast. :blink:

i like the rat ogres but not the warp lightning cannon as it is more often than not, unable to fulfil it's points (in small games at least) why not take it out and the tokens for a chieftain plus one or two rat swams added to the other unit (2 is too small) if you cannot find the points still why not take of 5 slaves from each unit (- 20 pts)

there's my advise, hope it helps ^_^

in addition to what farsight said, i think you only need to exclude the wlc and the rat ogres. To be honest, the ogres just dont live up to thieir point cost.

What i would put in to that 250 pts:

5 jezzils-80 pts

13 plague monks /w additional hw 96 pts
standard bearer /w banner of burning haterd 35 pts
deacon 10 pts
musician: 5 pts

1 more clanrat
pts 244

now instead of a wlc that does a few wounds every turn and often kills its own troops, you have a tool for picking off individual charicters and elite units such as caverlry/ heavily aurmored units.

And instead of 9 S5 wounds every turn, you have 16 S3 wounds (assuming the monks are in ranks of five) that get rerolls on misses.

@Albino:I think you have it mixed up slightly, that would be 4 Jezails although I'm sure its just a typo; Also I wouldn't use them to pick off characters as more often than not they will be hitting the character on 6's (long range, single model)

@ SNOTLINGZ: I would pretty much agree with farsight about bulking up those rat swarms, 2 aren't going to do anything. I would advise replacing the Wlc with either 5 Jezzails or a chieftain (depending on who you play against)

and to quote from farsight,

i know it probably would be a could idea to change the wlc over but after my last game when i killed half my army and half of the opponents i think its fun to play with. Also why would i change 9 str5 attacks and 3 str 3 attacks for 16 str 3, it makes no sense i only get 4 less attacks! But thanks everyon for the advice. I will bulk out the rat swarm to a unit of 10 just becaus it will be funny to watch :D

becasue you get the extra attacks, AND hatred.

you only get hatred towards lizardmen in the special army list. I think, but id rather have 9 str 5 and 3 str 3 than 16 str 3 as it will do more damage by negating armour saves and easier to wound etc.

*sigh* THE BURNING BANNER OF HATRED!


that felt good.

greetings friends ive just registerd to the site allough i spend alot of time on the underempire forum aka skaven only. take off the spears on the slaves and the clanrats the slaves are there as a meat shield so keep em cheap the clanrats are better with the 4+ save from hw and shield than with spears take away a warlock engineer and put in a cheiftain take away the warplightning and try getting yourself some plague monks and censer bearers

strengths: high magic and range (usally considered cheese)
weakness: not exactly a mega mass that skavens are suppose to be. little close combat power yes i know the ratogres but they can only be at one place at a time

blood vixen is your pic on the other site of a anime chick, as i think i recogise you?

anyway thanks for the quote there omid ^_^
