Ok thanks, I really know nothing about skaven and I have only played 2 games of fantasy so Im a total beginner here :p I'll get the book first and Im looking at the battalion.
Btw, Between stormverin and clanrats... stormvermin would be the choice (not taking the price into consideration) right?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256216.page GMT Clanrats or Plague Monks? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256279.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256279.page GMT Clanrats or Plague Monks?
The basic Skaven strategy these days is to sit your general and BSB behind deep blocks of slaves that will basically not run away thanks to the combination of strength in numbers, inspiring presence, steadfast and the battle standard re-roll. Whilst your opponent wastes his time cutting up 2 point models, you hit him in the flanks with something nasty. It doesn't make for particularly exciting gameplay though...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3256329.page GMT Clanrats or Plague Monks?

Despite its cheesiness, this build is pretty appropriate to how a real Skaven general would probably operate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3259966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3259966.page GMT Clanrats or Plague Monks?

Slaves are the "best" choice for core. Skaven do 2 things well. Big things and numbers. You'll be using 100+ core models at a decent points level.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3264395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/393384/3264395.page GMT
