<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "1500 Skaven Army for new player"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 1500 Skaven Army for new player 40K for years as Eldar mainly. I wanted to go with a different style army for fantasy. Get away from the neat, clean low unit armies. I have decided to go with Skaven and created a list based on the models in the IOB box something extra. Any advice would be helpful. Right now I am stuck with the models listed, but not necessarily with magic or items.

Warlord - Halberd, Shield, Talisman of Preservation, Storm Banner, Potion of Speed
Warlock Engineer - Level 2, Skavenbrew
Warlock Engineer - Level 1, Dispell Scroll
40 Clanrats - Shields, Standard Bearer, Clawleader, Poisoned Wind Mortar
40 Clanrats - Shields, Musician, Standard Bearer, Clawleader, Poisoned Wind Mortar
4 Rat Ogres - Master-bred Ogre, Master Moulder (Great Weapon)
Hell Pit Abomination

This leaves me with roughly 65 points. Any ideas of what I can put it, or if there is something I should take out. Again I have only played a couple of games of fantasy and am used to 40K. Also, I have, never played Skaven. I don't want an unstoppable army. I would like one that requires strategy and is a little bit hard to play. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2351500.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2351500.page GMT Re:1500 Skaven Army for new player BSB!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2352807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2352807.page GMT 1500 Skaven Army for new player http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2353210.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2353210.page GMT Re:1500 Skaven Army for new player BSB.

The BSB is going to be a prime target. I would heartily recommend the Armor of 4+ ward over a magic banner, to keep him alive.

Give the Stormbanner to your Stormvermin Standard Bearer... when you get them.

And, as I posted in another thread, weapon teams thrive in an environment where they never even register on the enemy's 'shoot now' list. One A-bom ain't gonna do it.

I'd go for a WLC or two instead. At least they have the longer ranges to avoid getting shot at for a while.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2356184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341151/2356184.page GMT
