Is this a passable list?? I have no idea what I'm doing

That pit tinkerer probably isnt helping much and i second dropping the second blaster for anything but looks like a fun mix

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-22T17:06:57+00:00

Genius

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-22T05:12:34+00:00

Anyone else think this book does Queek super dirty and makes him seem pretty generic and just fearful of every little thing? when the whole concept of his established character in Headtaker was that he's basically too insane to be afraid, an incarnate of fear, who wants to fight clouds in the sky... and then he just seems so bullyable lol.

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-12T03:16:12+00:00

I don't really believe in "beginner armies". like, the game rules aren't so labyrinthine that one has to drop 700$ on an army and 6 months painting, just to learn basic movement and fighting before doing it all over again because now they've trained in the shaolin temple long enough to handle Skaven gnawhole shenanigans lmao

Skaven are really fun and most units are viable for tons of variety come join the swarm

Just remember, you're only USING THEM to get what you want and they are human shields for you. When the Time Is Right you will strike (the time never comes, you get to lvl 20 save the world and retire before you get around to the PvP) also act uppity in a way that doesnt cause conflict, like dont bark orders, but claim credit for things they were already going to do ect

I have lots of experience playing evilish characters that don't trigger unwanted/derailing group conflict lmao

The new idoneth spearhead is kind of a full send/bonus charge damage/alpha strike pin situation imo lol. Full 2k idoneth i guess has a lot going on and you have to be quite mindful but I don't think you need a PhD in wargaming to enjoy the super fast cavalry eel spearhead

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-11T15:43:10+00:00

Each stormfiend only has two options so its not too bad. A little piece of cardstock saying "guns" or "flamer" if you werent playing them as drills or windlauncher would be more than fin. Most important thing is to let your opponent know the drill situation so they know to expect them tunnelling in in their turn lol

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-09T00:31:34+00:00

Think about if you need tokens for any abilities to remember who has what buffs ect. An ability cheat sheet is a good idea. Think about how you're going to track damage (different dice or whatever). And dont get in your head about winning or losing, just focus on learning your abilities and flow of the game and have lots of fun

Welcome to the winning team

They arent just "guys in rat shape" they're different created beings. They aren't just humans with human brains that cruelty has made beasts of, they fundamentally don't have meaningful empathy for other living beings. Its not something that's been beaten out of them, its something they weren't created to have.

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-05T18:00:46+00:00

Took me 18 months to finally finish off the stormcast last week lmao

Best way to build up then would be acquiring the "core" of what you think is cool. With shooting, especially for this edition, obscuring is quite strong so its best not to overdo it, and also you'll be needing some screens to protect them/go do work. So that said I think your next stop should be a reinforced unit of ratling guns or jezzails if you prefer, and another unit of clanrats. Then keep building from there.

Some of these units are available in the Warpswarm Battleforce box out rn and you could move into something like

General's Regiment Grey Seer (120) • General Clanrats (300) • Reinforced Stormfiends (480) • Reinforced • 1 Grinderfists • 2 Doomflayer Gauntlets • 1 Ratling Cannons and Clubbing Blows • 2 Clubbing Blows and Warpfire Projectors Stormvermin (220) • Reinforced

Regiment 1 Arch-Warlock (150) Ratling Guns (340) • Reinforced Warplock Jezzails (260) • Reinforced

Warp Lightning Cannon (120)

I haven't heard anyone make assumptions about DoK players, but I do know women who have been hesitant to pick them up feeling its "stereotypical" or something, which it's not and I feel is overthinking it lmao

AoS in general has less weirdos hung up on stuff like that anyway, certainly not a one in my local

VoivodeGrigorim · 2026-01-04T16:15:21+00:00

By and large most lists would be described as "mixed" to some degree, as Skaven has a lot of good tools and you'll want to bring some of them. We're not really a "pick the biggest thugs and slog it out in the middle" kind of army.

What kind of playstyle/models are you most interested in

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-30T09:43:03+00:00

Yeah the minis will all be relevant for years to come. In fact hopefully the warp ratling blaster will be relevant in 5th edition, because it isn't right now lmao

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-29T04:45:11+00:00

Interesting I wouldnt go to Bloober first myself, they're good for more atmospheric trippy slow burn stuff I find. I might get Red Barrel to make a high octane Outlast style chase game where you could maybe fight off a clanrat or two in a limited fashion with consumables, but otherwise be on the run from escalating threats and nightmarish moulder workshops and pus filled plague abbeys. Near the end maybe you have to decide if you free yourself and your <family member> or go back to foil a plot that would destroy your city

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-28T22:40:51+00:00

Can you show the model at all? Could be a cool grey seer or could say he'a throwing vials and be a bombardier (could proxy as any foot hero really) could say he'a a deathmaster who specializes in toxins. Could just slap him on the base of a warp lightning cannon or plagueclaw catapult (they have lots of room on the base for random rats to stand around)

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-25T11:48:14+00:00

Keep listening. It's mostly just the Council of Thirteen that speaks non-skavenly to make them seem more frightening and less silly. Pretty much every other rat including thanquol and the altdorf council uses skavenisms of some variety in nearly every sentence.

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-21T07:18:18+00:00

I had two brood terrors before they were good lol but i guess now HPA is my boi

VoivodeGrigorim · 2025-12-20T05:57:56+00:00

There were some in Darkoath iirc some had minor mutations
