noticed there still seems to be a restriction preventing me from getting multiple of the same thing (Stormvermin)

Ol wants everyone to play MSU, better for his casket and archers to get rid of then.  :cool3:

But my skaven army requires me to paint 40 of every unit, smaller painting batches don't exist!

Looking forward to seeing your rat ogre and jezzail units then Dave!

At night he prances about like some sort of bearded West Country metalhead pixie, planting pink horrors in peoples' army cases and cackling while chanting his mantra, 'it's double sixes my love, take them off, just take them all off'

Why is all Skavern armies look the same, block after block of clan rats and slaves, one plague monk block pushing a furnace, an abomination, warp lightning cannon, a bell, plus doom rocket.

People moan about Dark Elves but Skaven are so boring and samey in their build.

Nobody comps Rat Ogres, Doom-wheels, giant rats, night runners, plague catapults, etc. Yet I don't see anyone taking them.

Think I'm currently up to 20 jezzails bought.  Only got 5-6 rat ogres though...  I'll change my stance to being 40 of every ranked infantry unit, that gives me more wiggle room!

Andy, you've seen what I've painted so far, typical ETC fare, 120 slaves, 80 clan rats.  My latest purchase from Ol was a doomwheel and I want the 40 stormvermin, neither of which I note on your standard army.  Combine that with the host of jezzails and I think will have the options for fun lists too, might not work very well but will be a laugh to put down.

The Trampoline

I think Dave you might be the exception, all Skaven armies nowadays look the same.

Mine will also look the same, sometimes, but like all my armies I much prefer having all the options available so I can take whatever I want when I fancy it.

Catapult is slowly gaining some favour based on what I've read on twitter, shame as means I might not take one now!

Doomwheel is still made of win, no idea why they're not that popular.  If they weren't so expensive I might have enjoyed running a list with 2 doomwheels and a load of the mini doomwheels but those finecast models cost far too much, so will have to come up with a conversion, admittedly not that hard, some little cart thing with a stack of blades on the front.

Yeah I find it incredible when I hear/read people saying how rubbish the Doomwheel is. Methinks these are 7th edition players who were used to using it in pairs as a zero-effort "I win" button as it was so good in 7th, and now that there's a little bit more randomness in its effectiveness it gets slated. Foo's...
