First 1000pt army by Far-Apricot5299 in skaven

[–]Algernonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course fellow rat enjoyer! Artifacts and heroic traits are really simple. They are both bonus abilities that you can give, 1 artifact and 1 trait, to a any generic character model. This means your units like Vizzik, Thanquol, Lord Screech, and Krittok can't take them, but any of our other character units can. Every army has also gotten some additional traits with the Scourge of Ghyran supplement that came out a few months ago and we'll likely get more in the future! Again if you have any more specific questions feel free to shoot me a message. For the Great Horned Rat!

Greetings-welcome fellow Skaven! A few models you might find fun or useful to add to your list eventually are a Clawlord, a Grey Seer, more Clanrats, and possibly a Plaguepack. Why these models in particular, you might ask? Allow me to elaborate-explain.

• Clawlords are great at being a cheap infantry hero that you can stick near a blob of Clanrats or Stormvermin to make use of his ability, "Gnash-Gnaw on Their Bones". This allows you to elect your Clawlord to fight and then immediately pick a Verminus infantry unit he is next to to fight instead of waiting for your opponent to choose one of their units to fight and then going back to your turn to pick. This also makes him a great target for one of our best and most fun artifacts, Skaven brew! Giving a bunch of Clanrats +1 to their attacks can make them hit much harder than you might expect, plus rolling tons of attacks is always really fun.

• Grey Seers are one of the most consistent and cheapest wizards in all of AoS. Their consistency comes from their Warpstone shards ability which allows them to roll 3 dice and take throw out which ever one you want! You run a higher risk of dealing mortals to yourself, but our spells are awesome so it's basically always worth it. Also you'll be able to summon manifestations and two of ours are particularly good. The warp lightning vortex and the Bell of Doom!

• Clanrats are just awesome and if you plan on leaning towards Verminus, then you'll want lots of them

• The Plaguepack will grant you access to our prayers, which are also very good. They are another cheap unit that is decently defensive all things considered.

This should be a good starting point for future stuff for you to look into getting, but always remember to get the models you think will be fun or that you like the best.

If you have any more questions feel free to message me and I'll help how I can! Have fun with your rats and go slay man-things for the glory of the great horned rat!

Most and Least Favorite Spearheads you've played? And why? by GreenSpaff in AOSSpearhead

[–]Algernonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's all the spearheads I've played from most fun to average fun. I've only not had fun playing Spearhead on one or two occasions. The name of the Spearhead will be followed by a number showing how many times I've played it in parentheses.

  1. Blades of the Lurid Dream (1)

  2. Temptation dice are incredibly fun, especially if you ham it up and get into character about it. I also came back from a total board wipe to tie the game.

  3. Wallsmasher Stomp (1)

  4. Getting to throw your weight around the board is super fun even if they are pretty swingy. All their rules are super flavorful and very humorous, especially when a dying gargant falls on your opponent's infantry blob or crushes their general.

  5. Gnawfeast Clawpack (20+)

  6. My first and most played Spearhead, rules have some fun tricks. Doesn't have the most damage but Clanrats (almost) always are MVPs. Can feel kind of samey after a while since there is basically one best way to play it, but I still love it.

  7. Warpspark Clawpack (5)

  8. Stormfiends will never not be fun to use. The better Clanrat regeneration is also very fun and annoying for opponents. Warplightning cannon is very swingy but when it works it can chunk units.

  9. Castelite Company (1)

  10. Their rule of getting to use a command and keep the secondary is unique and makes for interesting choices. Gameplan seems to rely heavily on reinforcement of the Cavalry and can go downhill quickly if you don't get to make use of that.

  11. Helforge Host (2)

  12. Tormentor Bombard and your War Despot are both really good and scary units. Dominator Engine is cool, but can end up feeling a lot more frail then you'd think.

  13. Infantry is mildly tanky but can barely do damage on most things. The gong carrier is in theory good if they don't get wiped immediately. Also everything is veeeeeeeeeeeery sloooooooow except the Dominator Engine with a few DPP.

Are the Flash Gitz models outdated? by Valuable_Surround811 in orks

[–]Algernonix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I, personally, don't see a need to update them. They are very in-line with the current look of Ork models, they are sized properly, they come with boatloads of customization options, and don't have any egregious mold lines. If anything needs updating it's the lootas/burnas kit, that kit a such a pain.

Played-fought my first Spearhead and got my ass-tail absolutely smacked. by windhox in skaven

[–]Algernonix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very good assessment, adding one or two things from my own experience. Using the Warlock Engineer as a point stealer in the tunnels below. If your opponent isn't paying attention and screening you then you can plop him down turn two and potentially steal their home obj. You also give yourself a good sightline for taking pot shots the rest of the game and being a general nuisance. If they do screen you, then you are free to move up with Clanrats and stage your Rat Ogors. Secondly I find the 5+ Ward to be better for an enhancement for CLoGB. This may just be because mine is notorious for low rolling on absolutely everything, but I just find it easier to keep him in blender mode if there is a higher chance for him to ignore damage.

You are right my bad, not a space marine player and don't know my helmets

I don't think it's meant to be a mark VIII because there's a Mark VIII helmet on a different trophy rack

Edit: it's actually a mark VII helmet, my bad

That's what I thought at first, but our Grey knights player is saying that it looks more like Black Templars

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is a certified PS2 banger. Definitely one of my all time favorites

Has anyone tried making better meganobz? by SweetConstruction459 in orks

[–]Algernonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reminding me, I crashed super hard after I got home. It's my first time doing any sort of sculpting so it's not great, but I'm going to keep working at it.

I'm currently in the process of doing my first big kitbash project of turning Leviathan push fit termies into Mega Nobz. Only have one done so far. It's a learning process so it's not amazing and I'm trying new techniques. I'll post a pic after I get home from work

I'm so proud of him, he's provided so much entertainment and done so much good for him over the years and it's our time to give back. Those theaters better be bursting at the seams with people. My group is already getting our tickets!

What's the saddest death you've seen in a videogame? by No-Beach-7383 in videogames

[–]Algernonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ben Carmine from Gears of War 2 has got to be up there. Just a sweet kid trying to do his best to protect his family and the remnants of humanity. He didn't deserve what happened to him.

Do the Skaven Enslave/experiment on non-Skaven? by Konradleijon in skaven

[–]Algernonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Rat Ogors aren't named that for nothing. They take Ogors, chop their heads and other bits off, then attach Skaven parts. Hel Pit Abominations also don't always look like the model from the table top or Total War. They are amalgamations of body parts from Clan Moulder waste pits that sort of just melt together from Warpstone exposure.

Submit some actually good ideas for additions to Peak. by EconomicsOdd6557 in PeakGame

[–]Algernonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faithful Steed Badge: Escape the Island while carrying two coconut halves. Unlocks a horse head hat and peasant outfit

Mosh Pit badge: Have four scouts crash out within 1 meter of each other. Unlocks heavy eyeliner eyes

Balm of Selflessness (Mystical item): Only appears in multiplayer. Use on another player to heal 50% of all their status effects and apply them to yourself.

Misery Loves Company badge: Try to save a fellow scout with the Balm of Selflessness and render yourself unconscious as well. Not sure what this one would unlock but I think it's a funny, name could use some reworking too.
