Plague Priest (Plague Furnace, Scroll of shielding, Foul amulet, Flail, Lvl 2)
Warlock Engineer (Doom rocket)
Warlock Engineer (LVL1, Power scroll) --> Cracks call vs Steamtank
Core
70 Skaven slaves (Mus)
70 Skaven slaves (Mus)
50 Stormvermin (Mus, Champion, SB, Razor banner)
1 Poisoned wind mortar
5 rat darts

Ooooo let me know how you find the scenario.
General skaven question. You don't have many weapons teams. Are they generally not worth their points? I also never seem to see warpfire throwers anymore either. Are they not very good? (I love the idea of them firing through the slaves).

Weapon teams have only one wound and limited range. I also think I have enough stuff that can misfire 🙂
Most of them are also move or fire so better in a castle list. I'm planning on attacking his knights with all I have. If I can deny him a charge, he doesn't get to use his precious lances

I also never seem to see warpfire throwers anymore either. Are they not very good? (I love the idea of them firing through the slaves). skaven weapon teams have t3, 1W, and heavy armor with a 4+ ward if they hang out close to a parent unit. They're stupid squishy if your opponent has any ranged game whatsoever. I like the idea of holding a unit down in combat with slaves while firing into that combat with warpfire throwers, but warpfire throwers tend to not make it close enough to use them. Poison wind mortars have the benefit of being able to use parent units LD for LoS purposes, and they can be hidden away behind something and still fire. And they're among the cheapest teams out there. And they provide a good anti-heavy armor presence to the list. I tend to take mortars when I take teams, but most of the time I just rely on flanking units/monsters/chariots to deal the damage needed to break the enemy. I like the list. Although it's a grand army why aren't you taking 4 cannons?  I personally don't like censor bearers, I'd consider jezzails (for the knights) and/or some more engineers. naked engineers and skitterleap are great redirectors, but they don't even need skitterleap, they can buy you a whole nother turn just marching out of their parent unit. YMMV vary though. Also I don't see a brass orb or a death globe. These things will ruin knights/stank and warmachines respectively. I'd consider the engineer with cracks call and the power stone as a backup in case the stank somehow survives and use him to wreck some backfield warmachines (hopefully he even lines them up for you nice and pretty) Also no fellblade? |

I don't think that you need to worry about the Stank as much as you do the Demigryphs. If he takes 2 units of 4, then you need to hit them fast and hard! I'd target them before the Stank. It'll take the Stank a couple of turns just to get into combat. And with any luck, it'll wound itself (always seems to happen to me). The knights shouldn't be too much of a problem. They usually die to combat res.

Fellblade is fun but it's auto death for the warlord carrying it.
4 cannons...thinking about it. If one of them misfires it is a str10 laser across my army. But three sounds nice
The globes didn't do much in the last few games, either scatterred too much or no good targets. It is Empire this time of course...
