1500 Pt Friendly

[alfyb623]

Still learning a lot with Skaven so here are a couple of 1500 pt lists I was thinking of trying (my friends play O&G and Empire armies).

Total: 1,494 pts

Lord: 330
Grey Seer
-Talisman of Preservation
-3x Warp Tokens
(undecided on lore but more than likely Ruin while grabbing the Dreaded 13th)
-Mixed in with the S/Hw Clanrats

Hero: 72
Chieftain
-BSB
-Halberd
-Shroud of Dripping Death
-Mixed in with the Stormvermin

Core: 469
Clanrats(30] in 6x5
-Spears
-Shields
-Std + Musician

Clanrats(30] in 6x5+1
-Shields
-Std + Musician

Stormvermin (14)
-Musician + Champ

Slaves (40]
Slaves (40]

Special: 180
Plague Monks
-Std + Musician
-Under Empire

Rares: 330
Warp Cannon
Warp Cannon
Doomwheel


Not the best list. I think my Vermin unit to too squishy with the BSB being in it and I forgot a champ to soak up challenges for the Seer. I did that on purpose though because we never call out challenges in our friendly games unless we have to (i.e. WoC Army). Plenty of magic to go around with enough shooting to soften things up a bit. Doomwheel to hit weaker units or guard flanks, depending on scenario and where units get placed.

So yar. Lots of shooty, no magic at all (could be bad but could be indifferent). I don't really like the look of this list at all but figured it would be an interesting one to try.

I realize I forgot weapons teams which I usually take at least 1 PWM but I kinda got distracted at the thought of using multiple cannons. Lemme know what you think.

[Warlord Vrrmik]

Yeah your first list is better. I won't be too picky. However that Stormvermin unit needs to go.

Give your BSB Storm Banner instead and throw him in the Plague Monk unit. Now buy yourself a decent weapon team, fill out your units until you reach 1500 and you're good to go!

[alfyb623]

Is it not worth the extra couple points per model for the strength and armor increase as well as the ability to take a magic standard?
And what weapon team do you prefer. I usually use the PWM (I love move and shoot) but with the smaller fights I'm finding it hard to actually hit anything.

[Warlord Vrrmik]

It's all up to you.

Of all the weapon teams I actually like the Ratling Gun the best. Yes, it is move or fire. And yes it is likely to blow up if you aren't careful. But my god it's so fun to play with and it is very very killy. Deathstar units fall to this 55 point baby. It's just amazing! I've killed Malekith on a Black Dragon with this guy!

*Malekith is the supreme lord of the Dark Elves if you didn't know.

[Karl Stahlfeld]

You got Malekith with a ratling gun? Nice job is all I can say. (never liked the dark elves you see)

[Warlord Vrrmik]

You got Malekith with a ratling gun? Nice job is all I can say. (never liked the dark elves you see)

Why thank you! It took quite a bit of luck on my behalf but it's still a great achievement nonetheless.

[Karl Stahlfeld]

my cousin (and most regular opponent) plays skaven, and I've seen what that can do to T3 elves. However, I've never seen it down anything that big. Did it also get his mount?

[Warlord Vrrmik]

Nah, but my Warp Lightning Cannon finished him off easily.

-Mixed in with the S/Hw Clanrats

~ I prefer the ruin spells as well.


Hero: 72
Chieftain
-BSB
-Halberd
-Shroud of Dripping Death
-Mixed in with the Stormvermin

~ I know that I sound like a broken record, but BSBs are so important in 8th . I'd give him a ward save, over a magic banner .


Core: 469
Clanrats(30] in 6x5
-Spears
-Shields
-Std + Musician

Clanrats(30] in 6x5+1
-Shields
-Std + Musician

Stormvermin (14)
-Musician + Champ

~ I wouldn't use spears, unless your clanrat pack is setting up in a "horde" formation .
Your stormvermin should be carrying the "standard of discipline", and be the bunker for your "general". I prefer to give mine shields, as it helps in soaking up missile fire .
Always give clanrats and stormvermin, a full command .


Slaves (40]
Slaves (40]

~ Musicians are debatable .



Special: 180
Plague Monks
-Std + Musician
-Under Empire

~ Always the "plague banner" ... always .


Rares: 330
Warp Cannon
Warp Cannon
Doomwheel

~ Not exactly my first choices for a "friendly" list . Two WLCs are the norm, and quite murderous .

~ How can you ever go wrong ?


Hero: xxx
Chieftain
-BSB

~ Should have a halberd, and be within the stormvermin pack, with Queek .

-BSB in here

Stormvermin (35) in 7x5+1

Boost you're clanrat pack to 30, with a full command .


Special: 260
Gutter Runners (10]
-Slings
-Poisoned attacks

Jezzails (4)

~ Gutter runner packs should be no more than 8 models, as you're just wasting points .
Warplock jezzails should always be in packs of 5+, but for your list, I'd dump the jezzails in favor of the gutter runners .


Rares: xxx
Warp Cannon

(Is it even legal to have 3 of them in games under 3k? Dont have my book on me to check)

~ No, its not . You can only duplicate a choice twice, up to 3k . Dump a WLC, give a ward save to the BSB, and boost your packs .

Just remember, magic and war machines, rule 8th .
