Your video was pretty interesting, and I’m quit interesting what your tipps will be once the full skaven release has had uts change to refresh the skaven. Although there are a few small pointers I’d like to add. 1. Making thematic Soaven list. As it is currently Skaven don’t really have any real lore in aos, in sich cases we’ll have to take older sources from tomes before the end times. If we consider the lore of old. Almost every clan has access and breeds their own clanrats (as well as slaves) So having clanrats no matter if you want to go Clan Skryre, Mors, moulder or pestilence, clanrats will be your essential. Secondly. Units like Stormvermins are the more elite breed, and while they are officially a source of warriors that most clans have access, it is not unoften heard of that the lesser clans (warlord clans or verminus as they are known today) sell their best Stormvermins to the higher paying customer, especially when the buying customers wants to boast about his power and might (which all skaven enjoy doing) Then there are the lesser clans, of which some have had success and got rich or powerful in their own through being at the right place or having been able to take-steal dwarfen holds (like for example clan Mors and Rictus) Others may have a pact-deal with one if the greater clans gaining, access to the vast amount of weaponry the clan can other. Officially the heraldry and uniform book, while not available can be found on the internet in a pdf form and has a huge amount of lore bits and stuff telling you how the clan works functions etc. same can be said about the loathsome ratman, which is not only an amazing book but also describes each clan fantastically. Most of those can be found as a free pdf on the internet, which is what I would suggest most people to have a look into. Beyond that have fun starting skaven
just a few days ago, they removed even more Skaven models from the Store, also some characters, so think we will have a huge refresh soon. with the skaven you do need to go towards a clan depending on your Heroes, and the Battle Formation is also very clan orientated. (Verminus, Moulder, Skryre or Pestilence) nothing for clan Eshin as for Battle Formation now. Warlocks lets you take Skryre units. the Clawlord Verminus units. Grey Seer All skaven. so you need to go towards units that fit the clan you want to play with, like i am going towards Skryre with the old Vanguard Box. most heroes lets you take a unit of Clan Rats and the Stormfiend are both Moulder and Skryre.
@@Xanbunny yes it is Skryre, we have a lot of new clan Skryre models :D and the Warpblaster (Big Gatling gun) is really nice 3D6+3 attacks and can be boosted to 6D6+3 attack where you take 1 MW on a hit roll of 1
@@Xanbunny started warhammer with Fantasy back in the late 19's with Lizardmen, now Seraphns, but had alsways wanted a skaven army and this new edition is my start on it, got enough models for 2k points now just need to put them together :D
didn't realise wanting to upgrade to 2000pts would nickel and dime me like that, was intending to build up to a stormcast, skaven and seraphon army based on the skaventide and spearhead boxes :(
i got 2 parts of the skaven in Skaventide then one of the old Vanguard boxes. i am way over 2k points now but i can field a Skryre list and a Verminus list. ofc i can still get more units to tweak the lists.
@@seppyseppi6889 well with endless spells some can be used for multiple factions, but yes faction terrain are only for that faction, as for with skaven they are tightly build into their faction rules, so a must :( with Seraphon terrain is not a must but good to have. have not read into the SC terrain.
It doesn't have to be. I played a LOT of 3rd for two years and didn't have my faction terrain. You miss a couple buffs but meh... You can survive without unless you're super keen. Endless spells: pick the one or two you like through eBay. Might spend 10£ for one but it's not 80£, right? 😊
I bought 3x skavetide boxes, to run them as tyranids, 120 clan rats = hormagaunts, 9 snipers for 9 zoenthropes, 9 ogres as tyranid warriors, the 3x ratling guns for exocrines, the mounted rat will get some prime wings to be a winged tyranid prime.. grey seer will be a neurotyrant for the zoenthropes its not exactly an amazing list but will be fun for casual i think its roughly 2000 points of tyranids combining the 3x boxes, i sold the stormcast to a coworker cheap for $150 for all 3x halves to help him out.
AoS terrain bonus pcs are the epitome of WTF imo. (No pressure, they are 0 point and we ain't holding you at a gun point to buy it) Same as when GW decide to "buffing" units by reducing points. It's such a dick move full of conflicts of interest (players used to have a 2k points army, oh great now they have to buy more boxes to fill "buffed" unit points void) Lately I just take GW's games as an out-of-box game experience. Like launching boxes or vs boxes aren't THAT bad in value and I'd just play with my buddies with those troops and call it a day 😂

Exciting times for new models incoming, right? Also, this likely means other Old World Legacy factions are getting redone over these coming years 🎉🎉
Surely the gatling cannon thing is also Skryre right?

I managed to find the old spearhead but it’s gone, unfortunately. It’s a fun box.
