[WM] MPetz's Skaven Army

[David Wasilewski]

Excellent - good colours and nice and bright whilst retaining that "classic" skaven colours look.
Skaven was always my main army when I used to play WHFB. I have an unpainted 4K army of Skaven for Warmaster but suspect it will be a couple of years before I get round to painting it!!! (Empire to do and then possibly Araby next?)

I will add my voice to the chorus of 'let us know how it plays' - I will be interested to see how an army without access to cavalry or flyers fares!

It wins when played by a capable player... and in the hands of a good player it can be deadly. Most importantly is that you need to be able to NOT think battlelines, brigades etc

Thanks David. I agree with Lex ... my have the advantage, that I've never played another army than the Skaven. So mostly there is 1 brigade (1600pts) or 1 big and a little at 2000pts.

If there is interest, I can write a battle report, supported by pictures sometime.

I concur.
I have had great success with my skaven force.
The few defeats I have had have been down to really bad dice rolls or General error
Not only are these my favourite force fluff wise but also game play wise.

well not having cavalry is not too much of a disadvantage for skaven, because they have the numbers and more importantly, they can pursue any type of enemy....

cheers,

I would like to read and see that, so interest from this quarter.

Ok. It will take a bit bec. I'm not playing much. But at least the EuroGT will bring some interesting war-reports

Just to make you a little appetite, here a quite old Thread: Chaos VS Skaven

As promised ... after the GT-weekend (13.-14. March)

Aaaah... Soviet steam roller tactic (aka Bloodbowl 'Da Brick') using terrain to anchor flanks against cavalry? Looks like a good plan as long as naff command rolls don't leave your flank swinging in the open?

Don't misunderstand me I wasn't saying that skaven aren't a good army - just very different from the rest of the armies?

I love your skaven, I really want to do a skaven army for Warmaster, but I never really liked the game. So I will just have to sneak as many of them as possible into my Epic Nurgle Army.

Those small guys are nice

[Meister.Petz]

After a biiiiiiiiiig lack of motivation, I finally found myself painting one of these again. It was quite enjoyable so I guess there will be some more updates on this topic.

Nice to see some good close ups!

I can't belive my bad luck missing two well priced skaven armies on eBay - so this makes me jealous. =-P

Glad to see you back at the wheel
