WarlordGhrom Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 So it looks like I will be bringing my Skaven back to the OFCC this year and I wanted to try something a little different while keeping what I have as I can't really paint at this point. So here is what I'm thinking and the reasoning behind it. Skaven Army: 2794.5 pts Lords: 685 pts Warlord on Brood Horror - 400 pts Brood Horror has Skyre Claws and Rusted Armor upgrades. Warlord has Armor of Destiny and Ogre Blade. Grey Seer (General) - 285 pts Talisman of Preservation Thoughts: I have never ever seen a Brood Horror. Now is the time. I took the GS because I love Skaven magic. More than I like to spend on lords, but that Brood Horror isn't cheap. Heroes: 451 pts Plague Priest - 294 pts L2 upgrade, IronCurse Icon, Flail, Plague Furnace Chieftain - 112 pts BSB, Halberd, Armor of Fortune, Luckstone Warlock Engineer - 45 pts Doomrocket Thoughts: I have the Plague Furnace and PPs painted up and love it as a unit. BSB is a requirement for Skaven and the Doomrocket is just so much in the Skaven spirit I had to take it. Core: 839.5 Pts Clan Rats x39, FC, Shields, Warp Thrower Team - 265.5 pts Clan Rats x39, FC, Shields - 195.5 pts Clan Rats x39, FC, Shields, Spears - 215 pts Giant Rat Pack, 21 rats, 4 packmasters - 95 pts Slaves 25, Musician, Pawleader, Shields - 68.5 Thoughts: I have these painted in these numbers and these configurations. Done. Special - 419 pts Plague Monks x34, FC, Plague Banner - 293 pts Gutter Runners x7, Slings, Poisoned Attacks - 126 pts Thoughts: PlagueMonks a requirement with the Furnace. And I love their feel. Gutter Runners to give me something in the shooting phase and a scout. My minor hope at war machine hunting. Rare - 400 pts HellPit Abomination, spikes - 250 pts Doomwheel - 150 pts Thoughts: I have the HPA painted to high quality and love it. The DW is just a great skaven item. Overall Army Thoughts/Concerns: Similar army than the one I have taken the last two years. Changes are I got rid of the WLC and 2 rat darts. Added the Brood Horror and changed up the magic items on the lords. I have 6 units of good size. Only the Plague Monks are actually combat powerful. The rest are more tar pits. I have 4 big things in the HPA, Brood Horror, DW, Plague Furnace which may be a bit much, but if I don't take something big I'll end up with another 500 skaven which are not getting painted anytime soon. My magic is 6 levels (4/2) which is middle of the road power wise. My Warlord on Broodhorror is a cannon target, but you only live once. I think it is fairly middle of the road power wise, but would like to hear comments before I finalize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think it's fne. It's skaven. They bring lots of bodies; however, you didn't do the cheap slave "explosion" spam. You have no WLC. Overall, I think this would be a fun list to play against. I also have no idea what the horror does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlordGhrom Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The Brood Horror is kind of a weaker brother of the Abomb. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/b/Broodhorror.pdf Doesn't have the hitty power of an abomb with only 4 attacks (no special multi-attack rules). Something you would not see in competitive play in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
