Go for it dude, it's not a Skaven army if every warmachine doesn't have the potential to go haywire and mulch a swarm or two of clanrats.

Is there a conversion chart for square to round bases somewhere? Mainly I was wondering for some Stormfiends. It seems like they could be either 60mm or 50mm.

Make sure to take a look at the start collecting boxes, if memory serves one or them includes a doom wheel which surely means considerable savings if you like the other things in the box. Have you considered keeping multiple games in mind when basing them?

Honestly it's permanently multi-basing for Kings of War that stops models from being used in other games, not sticking them on round bases. If he wanted to use the models in more than just AoS, all he would need is a movement tray and they make them with round slots for just this reason.

A lot of the conversion charts I've seen have seemed to err on the larger side when making choices. That being said, here's one: http://plastickrak.blogspot.ca/2015/07/age-of-sigmar-base-conversion-chart.html?m=1

If he wanted to use the models in more than just AoS, all he would need is a movement tray and they make them with round slots for just this reason. Warhammer Fantasy or 9th Age is the most restrictive on a per-model basis though. Round slotted movement tray works fine for KoW where model count doesn't really matter, but if those rats are on 25mm round bases then his regiments will be too large, which might be legal but will generally be a disadvantage? I guess what I'm saying is putting them on 20mm squares is the least restrictive option.

Plagueclaw is a duel kit with the Warp Lighting Cannon (same with Furnace/Screaming bell).

I guess what I'm saying is putting them on 20mm squares is the least restrictive option. Ah I see what you're saying. With model count not mattering in KoW, if he based on 25mm, so long as he could hit the minimum required for a unit (6 for a troop, 11 for a regiment, 21 for a horde, 31 for a legion) it wouldn't matter how big the circles were. Sure it wouldn't work for Warhammer Fantasy or 9th Age, but one is dead and the other no one plays.

   Skeleton horde grows. Decided to just do a basic sand base. Going to order my many ovals off of eBay when I can find a decent seller who doesn't charge a million dollars for shipping to Canada. This .40 cents on the US dollar is killing my love of online deal hunting.

There was a Skaven heraldry book at one point that's probably got some scans floating around, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. I think Mors was that default red scheme they used for the studio army? Best to figure out what scheme you want to use before you chose the basing, gotta co-ordinate your rat-barbies.

I don't have my copy of that any more but off the top of my head.. Skryre was semi-officially the studio dark red scheme for a while, eshin is obviously black because ninjas, pestilens was general grubby green/brown nurgle poo poo while moulder was dark green? Lesser clans were p much whatever. Mors was red armour, Rictus had black armour and lots of black/white checker patterns, Ektrik had shiny brass armour and green robes, Septik was white robes with hella rusty metal. then there were the gimmick clans like the guys with white fur in black robes covered in skeleton bits, the ones who lived under marienburg and wore fancy purple/yellow scraps and the crazy dirt poor piebald guys who pretended they were all grey seers and stuck pretend horns on their heads. canon colours were never a big deal like they were with other factions tho, especially since each big clan had loads of thrall clans who were all totally different.

Thanks guys. I like red that the house painting tends to use on Skaven. I want my force to be mostly Skyre and Moulder but will probably have a mix of all four. Also the basing thing was waffling more over round or square bases.

This new kit is also a dual kit with Kiaros, plus all the typical aesthetic options.

Wasn't there a yellow clan? Eshin looks better in mostly grey-blue anyway. That's what you'd actually sneak around in. Black is purely for the tryhard assassins and maybe gutter runners if you really want stereotypical useless ninjas. You want the colors light enough so you can make the rats' rags look appropriately filthy.

Nah. Maybe yellow was just a color that cropped up a lot in the old rear end studio clanrat units or something, or that's just what I decided to go with when I was 12 or whatever. I'm talking about maybe 20 years ago.

Getting an old army book on eBay for like 5bux might be worth it to look at schemes/fluff. I did for my Empire dudes. Also that new LoC looks like an amazing model that I'd absolutely hate painting.

While I guess I could field one alongside my Skaven, I specifically wanted that model, not a stand in for the unit in my army. That said, do you guys have any quick list suggestions for Skaven army that is attempting to avoid Pestilens units? I've currently only got the Isle of Blood guys and a Doomwheel and want to know what's worth picking up from there.
