Hey all, so with nexus having its boxing day sale I may have impulse bought the start collecting skaven box without knowing much about the army. Just thought they'd be a cool contrast with my ogors lol. Just wondering if anyone knows more about them and has any "next pick ups" or cool stuff I can do with them? I'm thinking I'm gonna stick clan pestilence for now so I'd assume I just buy a bunch more plague monks and maybe a verminelord but not sure.

I can't help you with next steps, as I don't know enough about how they play, but can provide something else. You see, lots of Skaven models are still either finecast or metal, and just all around old. I found a site called Punga a while back that makes third party models for Warhammer. They have some great looking "Ratmen Warriors". It's all resin, but I've heard it's much better quality than finecast. I'll provide a link to the line. You can also check wahapedia to see about the army construction rules for Skaven and how the clans work. pungaminiatures.com/?tfc_sort[331875904]=price:desc&tfc_storepartuid[331875904]=Ratman+Warriors |

Almost all of what you want are plastic kits, especially if you're going pestilens.
A verminlord is a super cool kit and is a nice next step for a big bad monster.

For sure going to get a verminlord they're crazy cool and rule of cool I need all of them lol. After looking at the range and the way the army works I'm less set on just clan pestilence mainly because I really want stormfiends so I'll probably go a mix with some clan rats for my battleline.

adding in some of the skyre units is always a good idea to add in that nasty shooting element... eshin... not so much though.

Cool thing about skaven is you can focus on any of the clans, and pick the cool models you want to sprinkle in. For sure you'll be needing clanrats, but from what I hear, skaven is in a tough spot competitively. Take it all in with a grain of salt.

Yeah them not being competitive isn't a huge bother I'd rather an army be fun to play than super strong. Mostly went with them to contrast my ogors since they're so few models. Plus the models are sweet looking (at least the ones that aren't super old) |

Yeah they're due for an update, both rule and models. Extremely fun though, especially with the weapon teams. They have a chance to blow themselves up if you overcharge them, but put out nice damage
