Games Workshop - Warhammer - Age of Sigmar - BATTLEFORCE - Skaven: The Verminous Host

Product Information

Clan Eshin has the new Deathmaster, which we already covered before. He’s still the same but went down 5 points, give him a good command trait and he can ping pong around the field “Nothing Personal Kid”ing the enemy. Overall, definitely a downgrade from before. Skitterleap is going to remain a near auto-take as teleports are always worth it but the hit to Warp Power hurts. Clan Skryre wizards aren’t too costly though so it may be worth slipping one in still, +1 to wound isnt always so easy to get. Prayers I gotta say I like this book a lot too. There were a lot of ways they could have approached this, the “Vibe” of Skaven as this high-risk high-reward faction was always there but it didn’t have the rules to make it happen. The units, even if you rolled well, didn’t do as well as they could and the whole thing was burdened by some pretty confusing rules on army construction.

Overall, Skaven in Warhammer Age of Sigmar are a complex force to play, with many moving parts and variables to consider, such as keeping your unit sizes up, and your troops alive long enough to get into battle and do some damage. But only the AoS boxes. the 40k boxes will likely be up the following week as we’ve seen no sign of them on either Warhammer Community or via Retailer pricing details. Or the Clans Moulder – with Prized Creations, you’ll be able to make your favourite Hell Pit Abomination even deadlier. The new subfaction system –Eschewing the traditional defined subfaction of other books, Skaven can mix and match traits to suit the taste of the player. It’s likely no two lists will ever be the same.Protect your heroes –Tons of ways to protect your (incredibly) vulnerable heroes between bodyguard rules and faction traits to retreat mean you’ll always have a way to escape danger.

Playing Skaven in Warhammer Age of Sigmar

Savings-wise, we’re once again probably looking at last year for reference where we had anything from 30% – 37% in savings for these boxes versus buying the units individually at retail. That’s Nothing to sniff at! it’s a solid saving. There are two core sets of models that any prospective Skaven army collector should look at purchasing, and purchasing in numbers. These are Clanrats and Stormvermin. Clanrats are your grunt, your generic trooper. They’re there to act in three ways: as a meat shield for your more valuable units and heroes, to deny areas of the board to your opponent, and to deal damage if enough of them survive to reach the enemy. Great as a starting point or for adding yet more Clanrats (you can never have enough) and Plague Monks to the army if you haven’t got them yet for experienced players. A really solid investment no matter which group you fall into. The previously mentioned Vanguard box or the Rat Shaped Half of the Echoes of Doom boxed set are both great to fill out the contents of this box. Stormcast Eternals One wise word of warning to you would be woodlands warriors, don’t let the eye-popping value cause you to miss the forest for the trees. Treelords seem to be in literally every box for Sylvaneth and it is difficult to imagine anyone needing more than seven kits in a lifetime. This box uses two of your kits and without the value they provide it becomes more of an average box. This is the third box released just this year with at least a treelord in it and GW shows no signs of stopping. Drycha is out of favor competitively but is a wonderful centerpiece model. Tree-Revenants/Spite-Revenants both have roles in the current book and are nice models, if difficult to put together for first-time hobbyists. Dryads are old kits that make one ask where sculpting ends and moldlines begin.

Unfortunately, it just doesn’t get us that excited to play it. Part of the problem is that we’ve seen most of these models in many other boxes before. If you’re an existing Skaven player you’ve probably already got everything in here. And if you’re new, thematically, we’re not sure what this Battleforce is going for besides “here’s a lot of rats and some various support units”— it’s kind of a “mixed bag” vibe to us. At least you’ve got lots of room to expand.

Ben Counter’s Soul Drinkers saga continues in an omnibus which collects books four, five, and six, along with a novella. Find out whether these excommunicated Adeptus Astartes can restore their honour, or if their heroic commander Sarpedon is fated to lead his brothers to their doom. Hallowed GroundWhite Dwarf issues 320 and 321 get added to the Warhammer Vault this week – perfect reading with a hot beverage. Firstly, you’ve got Overwhelming Mass and Strength in Numbers, which can transform even a humble unit of Clanrats into a fairly terrifying fighting force. The new plastic Curseling was originally available in the Arcane Cataclysm boxed set, facing down the learned Lumineth. They arrive solo next week – or at least as solo as this mighty warrior-wizard can be, given the spell-slinging Tretchlet that sprouts from their side. Scinari Enlightener At home amidst the swamps and jungles of Ghur, the Rotmire Creed worship the plague-bringing Lord Leech and enter the Gnarlwood to concoct virulent new poisons. This warband features 10 fighters who first appeared in Warcry: Heart of Ghur, their fighter cards, and ability cards for the faction.*** Warband Tome: Rot and Ruin What’s the most Christmassy sound? Jingle bells? Da Red Gobbo sneaking down the chimney? Nah, it’s a bunch of squigs all going booooooing! The Squiqalanche consists of a Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig , two Mangler Squigs (who can be ridden by Loonbosses ), 10 Squig Hoppers (who can be assembled as Boingrot Bounders), and a 12-strong Squig Herd . Don’t let their randomness fool you – there’s a LOT of gnashing teef in this army. Skaven: The Verminous Host
