Ok, that settles it, I have to get one (or two) of those...

Is anyone seeing the Grey Seer on the bell? I can't quite identify him...

Beautiful model, ramshackle design which I adore (in contrast to the doomwheel for example).

Any pricing on that baby?

Really cool, Skaven just went from a,"maybe I'll buy them,"to a,"I am going to buy them!"


I like the plague priest on the plague furnace, the seer seems to be in a weird position though like he's surfing the bell or something.

they are plastic, i know the doomwheel is i saw it being put together yesterday

The Imperium of Man is able to traverse the Warp with difficulty when their Emperor concentrates from his golden life support machine and lights the way. Unfortunately, because the Emperor has the attention span of the average 5-year-old Pokemon fanboy, this means that many an unfortunate Imperial ship has had the WTF WHERE'D THE LIGHTS GO experience, which in the Warp is invariably fatal.

Don't forget that those aren't Rare units. They are upgrades for Lord characters (at least they have always been).

Of course it's available to other units besides Rare slots.

Like all other new big new plastic kit (High Elf Dragon, Stegadon, Carnifex) - make it available everywhere so people can buy heaps.

Why would you want to limit the amount that can be bought of your great new shiny plastic kit?

That noise you heard was the sound of me falling off the fence about starting skaven.


I loved the last screaming bell model and I didn't think they could improve it. I was wrong, these look fantastic

I'll have to find a way to fit skaven into my gaming budget. And I was gonna just save for tyranids

He's sitting at the very top of the bell

There is an attitude that not having an insanely optimized, one shot, six stage, omnidirectional, inevitable, mousetrap of an assassin list army somehow means that you have foolishly wasted your life building 500 points of pure, 24 karat, hand rolled, fine, cuban fail. That attitude has been shown, under laboratory conditions, to cause cancer of the fun gland.

At first I thought Skaven were going to just be another army i'll let pass.

Now, after seeing that Well O' Doom and these bad boys... I'm going to have to reconsider it heavily!

"gluttons for punishment" units with the gluttons for punishment special rule will never retreat however, they will take additional beatings after combat represented by taking wounds equal to the number they lost the combat by.

K lemme see what i can come up with for these giant plastic kits.

Heroes and Lords:

1 plague furnace
1 screaming bell

Rare:
2 doom wheels ( or just 1 since i dont want to throw away my warp cannon )

So 4 pieces , it'll look impressive still i think!

Actually, with any luck, it goes like this:

Grey Seer Lord on Screaming Bell (like Walter)
3x Heroes on Plague Furnace (like EotG)

2 Doomwheels as Rares (like Stank / Asteg)

Total of 6 unbreakable, ItP War Machines for pure WIN!

Madness! The more I see about the new Skaven the happier I am I started an army of them! What luck of the draw, started building army a couple months ago. I was nervous about them nerfing the crap out of the whole army. And now I see the light! And the light is GREEN!!!

Armies:

Fantasy;
-Vampire Counts
-Tomb Kings
-Skaven
- Lizardmen

40K;
-Dark Eldar

OO! me like!

( with the doom wheel for $33 USD eg, box of clan rat price ,
do you think they'll turn the bell / furnace into $50 like storm vermins? )

I'm liking where this is going for skaven, especially the new Doomwheel and Plague Furnace.

Some people play to win, some people play for fun. Me? I play to kill toy soldiers.
