Post subject:  Skaven Rumors

clanrats, same unfortunately
Stormvermin S4 base, ASF, cause fear
Rat ogres S6, count as having additional hand weapons, reroll all psych tests, stubborn while packmasters are alive
Giant rats, reroll all psych tests, stubborn while packmasters are alive
Slaves, can't be joined by characters otherwise the same
Ratling gun now S5, move and shoot, points drop
Warpfire thrower, move and shoot but inexplicably goes up by 15 pts ensuring its still not taken
new 'lightning gun' weapon team, as warp lightning but in the shooting phase
Poison wind globadiers, points up slighty but d6 hits per 'hit'
Night runners/gutter runners option for brace of warplock pistols
Jezzails, option for sniper champ, can pick out model
plague monks, frenvy, hatred and poisoned attacks
plague censor, 2A, S4, censor wound on 4+ regardless of Toughness, option for 'super censor' on a champ, wounds on 2+
Warplightning cannon, same but thankfully follows normal war machine rules and not weird stuff pulled out of my butt
new rare 'really big rat', US5, good stats, regeneration, stubborn, may tunnel and charge in any direction on turn it appears


Warlord, same
Grey seer, knows all spells, unlimited warpstone chunks
Vermin Lord, doombull stats, lvl 4 wiz
Master Moulder, grants regeneration to any moulder unit he joins
Assassin, comes w/ weeping blades but still overpriced and easy to kill, interesting option for sniper rifle jezzail
Warlock. same but warp-lightning S6
Plague Priest, any may be upgraded to lvl 2 wiz, any pestilens unit he joins never loses frenzy

sacred standard of the horned rat, cause fear and also unit is unbreakable while they outnumber the enem

Where did you get these?

I must say i am a bit miffed about the amount of the word "stubborn" in that rumor.

Stubborn is for two things, Dwarves and Dwarves, and Rats ain't one of those.

Cheers,
Gary

I agree with Gary about the stubborn rats. However, if no leadership changes occur to Packmasters, they're still only LD5. That's about a 28% chance of holding. You still have a good chance of breaking them; however, the concept one of the most cowardly races in Warhammer being stubborn is confusing. And stupid.

I beg to differ. Those damn rats keep eating poision pellets even though it kills them, they won't move out of the flithy sewers even though they know it's bad for their health, and they always fall for cheese. What's not stubborn about that!

Off note: Did hear about that Indy guy named 'Jon Cash' that made a complete @$$ out of him self at Adepticon! What a jerk!!!!

So true about the cheese.

And yeah I heard about that guy! I hate him! Hahaha.

Yeah, I heard about that @ss. I hear he was tough when he only had 50 opponents, but when he got thrown against 180 opponents he crapped out and called it quits and came in 12th.. Slacker.

Now Gary, I hear he came in the top ten for all three tournaments, including 5th in the championships.

Adepticon rules!

Cheers,
Gary

Dont be calling that @ss Cash a Slacker now, we have enough of our own @sshats! :wink: Just glad he hung up that broken cheesefeasters army. Someone teach him how to paint too. geesh :lol: :lol:

Seems like stubborn, hatred, and ASF are becoming a crutch for the lazy armybook writer.

Some of that stuff sounds pretty awesome (although will probably make people whine about skaven again) but I actually don't know that I like stubborn rats. I mean, when someone charges my giant rats, I'm counting on them to break, it would suck if they actually held and ruined everything.

is it just me or is games workshop kinda going overboard with all these ASF rules.... i understand it on demonettes, on swordmasters i can live with, on all elves is really pushing it, but now skaven too? can you say codex creep?

I have an ominous feeling Alessio will be writing this one... and we all know how he feels about Skaven

As long as they nerf the lightning Cannon so it doesn't pass through terrain then I won't complain :roll:
