Doubles Lists

So I'm attending Spring Imcursion. A doubles tournament in Mansfeld. Here's the tournament pack http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=109457 but basically it allows all allies to be trusted and a little bit of comp. my ally is a new player using Empire. I've written 2 lists but unsure which would be better to take. One army has to take the BSB while the other has to take a General. Here are the lists -

Old blood, Light Armour, Enchanted Shield, Dawn Stone, Sword of Striking. 216
Scar vet, BSB, light armour, shield, dragonhelm. 128
Scar vet, cold one, light armour, shield. 113
20 Saurus warriors, full command. 250
10 skink skirmishers. Javelins. 80
10 skink skirmishers. Javelins. 80

Engineer. 65
9 Inner Circle Knights, Full Command. Banner of Discipline. 270

4x20 Slaves. 160
1 pack master, 5 giant rats. 23
2x warp lightning cannons. 180.


Let me know which one you think would be better.

Clan Moulder Army List

So I really like the fluff of Clan Moulder. My usual opponent uses Ogres so I've written a 2,400 point uncomped list. I would love to take a Moulder themed army to a tournament but can't fit a decent army under the usual SCGT comp. Guess its just friendly games it gets used.

Anyway here it is -

Throt the Unclean, GENERAL
Warlord, Halberd, Charmed Shield, Talisman of Endurance, Crown of Command. Mounted on a Broodhorror, Rusted Armour.

Chieftain, BSB, Talisman of Preservation, Halbard.
Engineer, Doom Rocket.
Enginner, Brass Orb.
Engineer, Level 1, Dispel Scroll.

31 Giant Rats, 4 Packmasters.
8 Rat Ogres, 3 Packmasters, Skweel Gnawtooth.
50 Slaves, Musician.
50 Slaves, Musician.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
2 Rat Ogres, Packmaster.
2 Rat Ogres, Packmaster.
Hell Pit Abomination.
Hell Pit Abomination.

Throt and the BSB go into the Giant Rat unit and bunker proving leadership and the re-rolls. I'm trying out the Rat Ogre darts tonight to see how they fare. Let me know what you think of the list in general.

1600 List Problems

So I've made another few army lists for the tournament and not sure which I prefer. In list 1 I like the targets, and the Gutter Runners. List 2 could do alot of damage in combat and list 3 is a normal Skaven tournament army. List 4 has the Clanrats changed for the better looking Stormvermin. Again it's 1600 points, no Lords, no duplicate war machines, max 40 in a unit, no Doomrocket.

1600 point Skaven army for tournament

I've written up a list for an upcoming tournament. 1600 points, no Lords, no duplicate war machines, max 40 in a unit, no Doomrocket.

Here's the list -

Chieftain, GENERAL, halberd.
Chieftain, BSB, shield, Warrior Bane.
Plague Priest, Plague Furnace, Flail, Ironcurse Icon.

38 Stormvermin, Full Command, Storm Banner.
40 Slaves, musician.
40 Slaves, musician.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.

35 Plague Monks, Full Command. Plague Banner.
7 Gutter Runners, Poisoned Attacks, Slings.

Doomwheel.
Warp Lightning Cannon.

I'd like feed back. I've taken the furnace as it I've never used it before and I've just painted it up. The slaves are there to hold stuff up, and got two combat units in the Stormvermin and Monks.

New Skave List

So after the tournament, I've decided to change my list slightly. Now I know I'm still not the best Skaven General and I know theres better options but I just want to try some stuff out before moving on. I did at first plan on taking a Furnace with the monks, but after painting 40 of those ugly plaxtic monk models, I doubt they will ever find a place in my list now which is a shame as I love the Furnace model its self. Don't get me wrong I'm still going to paint one :)

So heres the list -

Grey Seer, General, Earthing Rod, Talisman of Preservation.
Grey Seer, Power Scroll.

Chieftain, BSB, Halberd, Shield, Dragonhelm, Obsidian Trinket.
Chieftain, Halberd, Skavenbrew.
Engineer, Level 1, Dispel Scroll.
Engineer, Doom Rocket.

34 Stormvermin, Shields, Full Command, Razor Standard.
29 Clanrats, Shields, Full Command, Poisoned Wind Mortar.
28 Clanrats, Shields, Full Command, Poisoned Wind Mortar.
38 SLaves, Musician.
35 SLaves, Musician.
5 Giant Rats, 1 Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, 1 Packmaster.

10 Gutter Runners, Poisoned Attacks, Slings.

Hell Pit Abomination, Warpstone Spikes.
Warp Lightning Cannon.

After a few months of trying this I'm going to move onto a Seer/Warlord build. I though the Skavenbrew in the Stormvermin could be quite fun and 'Skaven like' and could help them although they still can't go toe to toe with enemy elite choices. First game tonight vs Rob and his Daemons.

Skaven Tourny List

I'm going to try out my tourny list out today vs Ogres. Its 2400 using SCGT comp. My first game with this list I won vs Empire, so today will be a test for them. I'm not looking forward to the Hellheart. Hope it doesn't ruin me. I think Cracks Call could help alot. I'll be posting updates on Twitter @elfordminis. Heres my list -

Grey Seer, General, Earthing Rod, Talisman of Preservation.
Grey Seer, Power Scroll.

Engineer, Level 1, Dispel Scroll.
Engineer, Brass Orb.
Engineer, Doomrocket.
Chieftain, BSB, Charmed Shield, Talisman of Endurance.

29 Clanrats, Shields, Full Command. Poisoned Wind Mortar.
28 Clanrats, Shields, Full Command. Poisoned Wind Mortar.
35 Slaves, Musician.
35 Slaves, Musician.
34 Slaves, Musician.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.
5 Giant Rats, Packmaster.

10 Gutter Runners, Poison, Slings.

Warp Lightning Cannon.
Plague Claw Catapult.
Hell Pit Abomination, Warpstone Spikes.

Todays musings

So I've finished undercoating the Necrons and now going to do the Black armour segments and guns.
After seeing all the new Necron models and a few of the rules I thought about maybe doing an army of the blighters. I decided against it to get some paint on the Orks I've had lying around for some time. In Fantasy I have also put my Skaven aside for a while and now playing with my Warriors of Chaos. I've come up with two lists. Both for general play. I know I will win alot more games with List one having a Level 4 Sorcerer in there, so I'm leaning towards list 2 more. Its different, fun and 2 of my close friends play Ogres so I want to get into combat :)

Don't forget to add me on Twitter @elfordminis

Been a While!

Hi people. Its been a while. I've been very with real life and commissions. But I plan on updating 3-5 times a week from now on.

Starting with an army list. I've been given a load of Chaos Mairnes from a new friend of mine and wanted to come up with a 1000 list to learn the game with. I haven't played since 3rd Edition and I've been told alot has changed. I'll learn soon enough!

HQ
Daemon Prince, Wings, Mark of Nurgle.

Troops
7 Plague Marines, Champion, Power Fist, 2 x Plasma Guns. Rhino, Daemonic Possession.
7 Plague Marines, Champion, Power Fist, 2 x Meltaguns. Rhino, Daemonic Possession.
8 Khorne Beserkers, Champion, Power Fist. Rhino.

Heavy Support
1 Obliterator

How does this list look?

1600 Skaven List

So I'm increasing the points I play Warhammer now. Having picked up the rules quite quickly since last playing in 6th Edition, I believe 1000 points too small. I need more units to get used to before starting to go to tournaments. So heres my 1600 Point Skaven List. Let me know what you think.

1000 Points Skaven

Tonight I'm playing my first game of 8th Edition at 1000 points. I've been slowly coming back into gaming, as I prefered to paint the models rather then play the game. I'm going up against Jon's Undead. Now this could be Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings as he has both, but I'm assuming its Vampires until next month anyway. This is the list I've come up with.
