Hello again everyone. Having played Wood Elves for several months now I have decided two field a second army in Fantasy, having decided to try and once again to create my Clan Skryre Skaven themed army (in thanks to a new job and increase in funds that will allow me to finally create this army ). Now I know that this list lacks a few certain items that skaven armies seem to love to take (slaves for one) but the fact that I am already going to have to paint/pay to have painted nearly 150 models already is good enough for me. This is a revamp of my previous attempts and as usual any thoughts and ideas are more then welcome, thanks for reading mates!:

TOTAL ARMY: 3000 POINTS

-L+H: With Ikit and 2 Warlock Engineers one being a Level 2 that should give me plenty of both magic defense and output against a wide variety of opponents tons of warp lightning (and a Death Globe) being thrown about, the other Warlock Engineer is to carry the doom rocket and shoot it. The BSB has a 2+ armor save and with a halberd is strength 5. Also thanks to Verminous Valor i can refuse a challenge and still get all the BSB benefits.

-CORE: I have a total of 160 standard infantry in my army which I think is a good size for a Skaven army especially since every unit has a warpfire thrower or a mortar (seriously a fething mortar and flame thrower in fantasy! Way to awesome to ever pass up) that should help even the odds if i ever come across armies that outnumber me or even have just plain better infantry. Will be running them in ranks of 5X6 except for the stormvermin which probably will be a horde.

-SPECIAL: 7 Warplock Jezzails to target elite units such as knights, elite infantry and warmachines. I also have a small unit of Globadiers with a mortar to add to my shooting output and to also place right behind a unit that looks like its going to get hit by tough guys (Bretonnian/Chaos Knights, ect.) Still not sold completely on the Globadiers so if they turn out to not do it for me expect me to replace them with either more Jezzails or maybe some slaves.

-RARE: This explains itself for the most part. Two Doomwheels doing what they do best which is running over and frying the ever living hell out of whatever they come across and with two Warp Lightning Cannons to back them up it gives me some serious long range firepower. **I am also considering dropping the cannons for Plaugeclaw Catapaults with some conversions to make them look my Skryre like (have globadiers be the crew and thinking about making it look like a giant mortar for starts ).**

I think at 2500 your model count is way too low. With a gunline type skaven list you need slaves to stall the opponents units. Plus, with slaves you can shoot into combat.
I'd really think about dropping 2-3 WFT's for 2 units of 50ish slaves.
If you just flat refuse to use slaves, then you still have an ok list, but if the opponent reaches your lines, youre going to struggle in HTH.

Hey everyone, list has been changed up (**I just fixed the original list that I put up**) so if anyone has any thoughts or ideas (especially fellow skaven players since I am very much a noob when it comes to playing these guys) they are more then welcome!

Drop some clanrat units and put in a couple of 40-model slaves units. Run them naked with a musician five wide and eight deep. Use them to tarpit anything you don't want to fight right away while you shoot that unit to pieces.

Some questions... Where are the slaves? Slaves are nearly better than clanrats.. Overwhelming etc.

Wherre to get an poisoned wind mortar? Searching for ages

globadiers are good.. Maybe 1 or 2 more? It is against heavy armour and since you have many clanrats which are going to be slain..
Quite a good list btw
