Hello manthings!....um fellow DakkaDakka posters. After much consideration as to what army I should return to as Fantasy is starting to pick up again at my FLGS (had been contemplating Chaos Dwarfs who are very cool but would have broken the bank so to speak) I decided to return to an old favorite of mine, my mighty Clan Skryre Skaven! The following list is my eventual goal that I want to reach with this army and in order to fit Clan Skryres fluff I have decided to go with a "shooty" Skaven list. Now please keep in mind though this is a themed list I still want it to play pretty competitively so I tried to make it as strong and fluffy as possible, this is a 1st attempt at this list so please, any thoughts, comments and ideas are more then welcome, especially since I am just returning to Fantasy. Thanks for posting guys!

LORDS AND HEROES:

-Supreme Commander Niblit (*Ikit Claw*)

-Chieftan BSB
*w/ Crown of Command, Shield, Extra Hand Weapon

-Level 1 Warlock Engineer
*w/ Dispel Scroll

-Level 1 Warlock Engineer
*w/ Doom Rocket

CORE:

-x25 Clanrats
w/ Full Command, Hand Weapons and Shields, Mortar

-x25 Clanrats
w/ Full Command, Hand Weapons and Shields, Mortar

-x25 Clanrats
w/ Full Command, Hand Weapons and Shields, Gatling Gun

-x25 Clanrats
w/ Full Command, Hand Weapons and Shields, Warpfire Thrower

-Rat Dart
*w/ x5 Giant Rats, x1 Packmaster

-Rat Dart
*w/ x5 Giant Rats, x1 Packmaster

RARE:

-Warp Lighting Cannon

-Warp Lighting Cannon

-Doomwheel

-Doomwheel

TOTAL ARMY: 2000 POINTS

Tactics:

Pretty straightforward when it comes to this, I hang back and bombard my opponent with Mortar and Cannon fire with supremely better and more accurate artillery fire then anyone else while my Doomwheels will run on both flanks and do what they do best to anything they come across. Have a super sneaky teleporting Warlock Engineer to blow up some stuff with the Doom Rocket while the other will chuck Warp Lighting at people as will Niblit (Ikit). Finally two small "Rat Darts" to be my re-directors and keep the scary stuff from smashing my face in right off the bat.

Anyone? Either there are no Skaven players on here or my list is perfect (which I doubt with both of those ) would appreciate some feedback before I start purchasing. Thanks!

Well I'll give you a bit of advice lol

First thing is skyre is cool but their inventions have a tendancy to blow up, and take surrounding guys with it. I'd recommend not taking all those weapon teams. You could fit a warp fire thrower or pwm in if you want but you have to many points put into weapon teams.

Your bsb should have a load out more like this:
Bsb, talisman of preservation, halberd (that's a pretty common load out but you can give him armour of destiny instead of the talisman if you have a grey seer who will need the talisman)

Ikit claw is just meh, got some cool things and is a great model but he costs a lot of points I'd rather see you take a grey seer.

You need slaves, lots and lots of slaves 2 blocks of 45-50 would be nice.

Take 1 unit of 40 clanrats with sword and board if you want to attack with it (I wouldn't tho) rather see stormvermin 35+ block 6 or 7 wide. Then take a 30 clanrats unit to hold your heros.

I'd recommend taking at least 7-9 gutter runners with poisoned attacks and slings. They are a must for killing artillery.

Rares are fine.
Hope that helps a bit, let me know if you want some more help
