Shooty (ish) Skaven


The locals seem to be playing at 3000 so that's what I wrote the list for.

Anything that isn't 'Clan Pestilens' will be converted/painted appropriately to give the army an overall 'plague' theme.

3000 Pts - Skaven Roster - Skaven List - 3000

Grey Seer (1#, 275 pts)
1 Grey Seer @ 275 pts (General; Hand Weapon)
1 Power Scroll

I'm going to convert a spare Plague Priest from the Furnace kit to be a Grey Seer who's speciality is Clan Pestilens and who may have been investigating them a little too thoroughly ;-)

Clanrats (40#, 200 pts)
39 Clanrats @ 200 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Clawleader (Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)

Clanrats (40#, 200 pts)
39 Clanrats @ 200 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Clawleader (Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)

Plague Monks must come from somewhere so these Clanrats will be painted in appropriate colours as Plague Monks in training.

Plague Priest (2#, 289 pts)
1 Plague Priest @ 289 pts (Level 2 Upgrade; Hand Weapon; Flail; Frenzy)
1 Plague Furnace (Frenzy; Large Target; Magic Resistance (2))

No need for justification here.

Plague Monks (50#, 375 pts)
49 Plague Monks @ 375 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Extra Hand Weapon; Extra Attack; Frenzy)
1 Bringer-of-the-Word (Hand Weapon; Extra Hand Weapon; Extra Attack; Frenzy)

Or here.

Stormvermin (12#, 150 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 150 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (Warpfire Thrower; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 150 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 150 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (Warpfire Thrower; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 150 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 150 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (Warpfire Thrower; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 150 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 150 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Warpfire Thrower Weapon Team (Warpfire Thrower; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

I'll alter these slightly so they're more plague looking and pretend they chuck out a pile of warpstone infused vomit instead of the 'normal' warpfire.

Stormvermin (12#, 145 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 145 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (Poisoned Wind Mortar; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 145 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 145 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (Poisoned Wind Mortar; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 145 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 145 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (Poisoned Wind Mortar; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Stormvermin (12#, 145 pts)
10 Stormvermin @ 145 pts (Hand Weapon; Halberd; Heavy Armour; Shield)
2 Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (Poisoned Wind Mortar; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)

Poison gas = Diseased gas. Should be close enough to justify.

Clanrat Slaves (20#, 50 pts)
20 Skavenslaves @ 50 pts (Hand Weapon; Sling)

Clanrat Slaves (20#, 50 pts)
20 Skavenslaves @ 50 pts (Hand Weapon; Sling)

Everyone of note in Skaven society has Slaves right?

Plagueclaw Catapult (1#, 100 pts)
1 Plagueclaw Catapult @ 100 pts
1 Plague Monk Crew

Plagueclaw Catapult (1#, 100 pts)
1 Plagueclaw Catapult @ 100 pts
1 Plague Monk Crew

These are fine as is.

Warp-Lightning Cannon (1#, 90 pts)
1 Warp-Lightning Cannon @ 90 pts
1 Engineer & Crew

Warp-Lightning Cannon (1#, 90 pts)
1 Warp-Lightning Cannon @ 90 pts
1 Engineer & Crew

Not sure how to justify these. I may just give them Plague Monk crew and justify them that way.

Total Roster Cost: 2999

It seemed like a good idea when I was reading the rules for everything but I'm not sure how easy it will be to deploy that much stuff.

I still want to include other stuff but this will do for a start I think.

Any advice will be (as usual) gratefully received.
