Skaven 2500

Not really sure where exactly I should go with this list. As you can see, I have some points left over still too. Would like to go the Clan Moulder/ Clan Skyre route. Don't really wanna do any Pestilence. Fine otherwise.

Thoughts and help welcome!

you don't get to pick your spells champ


It will be interesting to see how you hold up as I've never had luck with Jezzails. They just don't seem to do anything for me.

I know I don't get to pick them. I didn't know if i'd have to for Army Builder.

Any thoughts on the list aside from the Jezzails? Do I have a decent framework?

Personally I would add some Stormvermin to get some heavy armor and some strength 4 going on. Just my opinion though. Clanrats suck and will get rolled against anything and everything. Even Gobbos with nets!

And I really don't like Poison Wind Mortar Teams. They didn't do Poo Poo for me saturday in the second round of hardboyz. Ratling Guns are so much better.

Can Jezzails target characters in units? I cannot remember and I don't have my book at work. If so, they might be worth it.

How many storm? Should I run them with a character?

well I run 6x6 w/ full command, not including any sort of characters and the like. I've swarn off shields, but they might make a come back after I really played 8th this weekend. Depends on the point structure.

My "starting" skaven list looks like this:


2 x 36 clan rats, full command, spears, shields
2 x 36 Storm Vermin, full command, shields
30 plague monks, full command

The plague monks shrink or grow depending on the points and such. You said you dislike the plague theme, so I'd replace with another unit of clan rats.

I feel like numbers are the strength of the army. And now that I have more clan rats (yay IoB) I might go to 42 clan rats. Run them six wide ftw.
