New Skaven

[Mike]

If you can get to the side of a lined up say O&G army... 4" away and just roll 4 dice... thats a big target and the potential for panic waves.

yeah if you're firing it at a lone unit then good luck!.... but if they're bunkered down... oh say VC stylee thats a big target to hit!. 

I think the random stuff is the reason I like skaven... the more random the better.

Also Brass orb is now 'touched' not partial... so got way better.

The thing is, I don't actually mind about the magic items, I don't think the army really needs them...
I'm sure some of them will sneak out and prove themselves useful, but at the mo, it looks pretty dire...

[Mike]

we shall see in playtesting...

Some nice combos though...

Particularly the portent of doom + sacred banner of HR... -2 Ld make opponent re-roll successful tests FTW!

[Mike]

cant believe I only just noticed this....

13 is no longer Irresistable force....

[Veldemere]

is double 6 IF then?

[Funkadelic Erik]

Double 4, for some odd reason.

[fatolaf]

Yep the 13 IF has gone, mainly I presume because you would never get the 13th spell off as IF..

By the way that spell is mean as hell, even if you don't roll higher than the unit size on 4d6 (to turn them into clanrats), they still all die...

They're now like normal wizards Ritchie...

Even engineers... who start as a normal Skryre rat (but for 15pts!!) you then upgrade them to lvl 1 or 2.  Or... you take a 15pt hero and give him 50pts worth of items!  Of course if he's not at least lvl 1 he cant take arcane stuff.... but you could have say... I donno... a 15pt Engineer with a 30pt doom rocket, a musket (str5 24in range) and optics (+1BS no penalty for shooting at target in cover).  So thats 85pts for a sniper.

[Mike]

Yup... 13th spell... No save of any kind.

Bye bye daemons.
