Another question, how have you guys (for that that have) gone about modeling your weapon teams that they didn't make kits for? Any quick solutions out there?

Also, I have 80 clanrats on sprue, should I just make them all clanrats, or is there a purpose to slaves? I kind of think they don't look like my style, but if there is enough tactical sense to taking them, then I will.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1282927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1282927.page GMT Skaven Questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1282936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1282936.page GMT Re:Skaven Questions.
What it does is kill monsters dead and flank charge units

And there is always room for a model that can do that in your army]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1283867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1283867.page GMT Skaven Questions. ), and it's totally the bane of the league. At that level the thing wins games by itself! I can only imagine two would be pretty damn fearsome @ 2000+!

Blocks of slaves in front of your army is good for screening, both for incoming fire and keeping your own Frenzied units from running off.

They're also an excellent candidate for the Death Frenzy spell, as it doesn't matter if they die, and if you can get the charge, they have 15 attacks if they're only 5 wide. Slaves near the general will have Ld 6 or 7 plus their own ranks, and can actually hold up in combat for a turn or two.

100 points will get you 4 blocks of 25 slaves, but I always toss in a musician and a champion. The musician good for when they run, as a 3 is a lot more likely than a 2 on 2d6, and near the general they may even rally on a 7 or 8. I like the champions, since they give you a couple attacks when normally the whole front rank will die. A Death Frenzied champ has 4 attacks by himself, which will usually get you a wound on core infantry. (I had one get 2 wounds on a hydra once)

For slave models, the clanrats are nice, but they only give you a couple slave models in the box. I buy gnoblars since they're something like 20 for $25, and they're easy to put together. And it makes since that they would be slaves to skaven. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1284579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1284579.page GMT Re:Skaven Questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1284884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1284884.page GMT Skaven Questions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1285000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1285000.page GMT Re:Skaven Questions.

100% ok , and 100% fits the fluff. ( just make some slaver to make it more convincing )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1285020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1285020.page GMT Skaven Questions.
The bell blew itself up turn 1. It took nearly all his infantry with it, leaving one unit of slaves, the doomwheel, and the HPA as his surviving units.

The skaven player still won the game. Do not underestimate the doomwheel. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1298790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275921/1298790.page GMT
