If you hate them, join them...

So, with my purchase of Island of Blood this weekend I am going to have some new minis on hand... Mainly in the form of Skaven... Skaven is the only army I have ever truly hated about WFB.... That hatred goes all the way back to 4th Edition... So why not make an army of them myself... And that is what I plan to do.

Right now I am just getting 1 IoB box but the plan has always been to get several (2 for now, eventually I'd want 5 of them). 2 sets will give me:

2 Chieftains
2 Warlock Engineers
80 Clanrats
4 Rat Ogres
2 Packmasters
4 Weapon Teams

With that in mind I think by adding 1 Stormvermin box, 1 Screaming Bell and a Doomwheel kit I could have myself a rather effective 2000+ point Skaven army. This is what I've worked out so far (sans magic items):

Grey Seer 440
-Screaming Bell


Heroes

Chieftain 49
-Halberd
-Shield

Chieftain 74

  2. If you two teamed up with M.F. it would be a hell of a force! three Skaven armies at once!
