I tend to think they get entire squads of extremely precise artillery. Their archers are bullshit.

Ikit Claw is basically skaven Doctor Doom. he got blown to poo poo in some kind of failed experiment (maybe his first doomsphere prototype?) which burned his face really bad and basically withered up and ruined one of his arms, so he made himself a cool suit of power armour with a badass metal helmet to cover up his burns.  ikit meets queek like Doctor Doom he's also insanely good at magic as well as science, having traveled the world to learn the secrets of every race's form of magic, from studying with the dark elves, excavating lizardmen ruins, and even going to Cathay to learn from their mystics (by stealing). he's one of the most Learned sorcerers in the warhammer world, which is pretty impressive considering he's a giant rat. Thanquol prevents him from being the most powerful skaven sorcerer, cause thanquol is just stupidly powerful through no virtue of his own, and doesn't know anywhere near as much as Ikit. Ikit's also largely responsible for Clan Skryre's prominence in skaven society, because he kicked a LOT of pestilens rear end during the skaven civil war. I forget if I posted about the skaven civil war, but basically Clan Pestilens went to Lustria, went insane from jungle disease, started their new plague religion, then came back to skavenblight and tried to take over. they lost, but only just, and the other skaven had to deal with the plague monks being an accepted part of skaven society from then on. being also a one-rat manhattan project (rathattan project?), Ikit's greatest dream is to create a weapon so destructive it would make him more famous than any skaven, ever. he's kind of succeeded with the Doomsphere, which is literally a nuke made from warpstone. the first one he built got sabotaged by dwarfs, it exploded wrong and was much weaker than it should have been (like when a real nuke fails to reach supercriticality). the second one got hosed up by gotrek and felix. then uh, the next time he built one it was the end times and he literally blew up the moon. he also blew up nagash's indestructible black pyramid, which all the other powers of the world had failed to do at some point. he blew up Prince Apophas, the tomb king scarab beetle ghost mummy who was literally barred from the afterlife and as such supposed to be impossible to kill. Ikit nuked his soul out of existence I guess. he did invent basically all the cool skaven weapons we know and love, like the doomwheel, the doom flayer, and the stormfiend (in partnership with Throt the unclean). i dunno if he invented the ratling gun or warpfire thrower or poison wind globadiers, but he was behind the big Skryre push to develop advanced weapons after the skaven civil war.

Skryre owning Skavenblight is also pretty true to canon, as imbalanced as it may sound. Their technology and mercenary attitude about loaning their inventions and expertise out eventually got them the more-or-less top spot in Skaven society.

drat its been said but its a real shame Skaven almost single handedly ruin Lucky's mod if you ever end up in a fight with them its pretty much the end of the campaign unless you want to spend the next few hours fighting clanrats the clanrats are so OP it even ruins playing as skaven since clanrats become hands down the best skaven infantry since they basically get multiple lives and have good stats and morale to begin with so they outperform plague monks in any scenario imo all it really takes to fix it is a big ol' nerf to clanrat and slave morale, like -10 or more across the board. clanrats are really sturdy on top of everything else, the regen mechanic would be fine if it was easier to chase them off the map. e: oh as i say this he just released a nerf to it. restricts them to one regen per battle which is better but doesnt really address the weird sturdiness of skaven imo in general infantry in Lucky's has way lower killing power so tarpits are way stronger, the only really loving murderous infantry i can think of are buffed up great weapon chaos warriors who have like 50/50 and huge AP attacks and armour. no other infantry is as killy as, say, a warpfire gun or a bastilodon Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Apr 9, 2019 |

I think it'd be pretty cool to will a new god into existence solely to be a piece of poo poo towards an enemy, and thus Sotek is cool and good.

A reminder that Thanquol managed to summon Skarbrand - the most powerful Bloodthirster in existence - accidentally. Using a summoning ritual that really should have been fairly basic and known to him(he was going for a Verminlord). To say he's a giant beacon of destruction (usually of Skaven) is a huge understatement.

Huh. Thought they would add a new Bretonnian, or is that content patch not until later? They would both have three LLs with Tehenhauin, so I figured giving the Lizardmen two simultaneously would've been a bit much.

Bretonnia is getting some mechanical reworking and updates same as how the dwarves got forgingand vampires got blood kisses. The FLC lords are for the game two factions.

A stated goal for them is for every faction to have at least 4 LLs, this "policy" seems to have started during the current WH2 game, so they're giving WH2 races 4LLs, and all new factions added get 4LLs to start to with. They haven't added new WH1 LLs yet, all they've done is update skill trees, change campaign mechanics, and move start positions of existing lords, Bretonnia was a FLC, so need idea why they haven't gotten a 4th, since it wouldn't be a dlc/flc of a dlc.

I still can't believe we got Tretch Craventail as the Skaven FLC lord. Especially since Skaven already had Queek to fill the role of 'lovely foot Lord with literally no interesting abilities' already and a ton of cooler characters they could have pulled from. I mean hell, I think only Grimgor is as bad as those two are which is saying something. Even Sigvald has his healing item.

Tretch is up there with Ghorst as least inspired pick LL in the series. Albrect is on there as well, but at least has the excuse that Bretonnia has few good characters (even there Bertrand the Bandit would have been more interesting).

Someone made a good point about how Tretch was the Skaven incarnate: an untrustworthy, coward rat bastard who'll gut you the moment he gets a chance and is oddly fortunate at times. Every other LL apart from probably Thanquol is technically an aberration to the Skaven norm. In that sense, sure, I think he's worthy as an LL.

Yeah but they could have given him a Bonebreaker mount or something so he isn't mechanically just 'Queek +MD, -MA'

There are enough Moulder units still out there that we could easily still see a Throt expansion for the Skaven, and then Thanquol in some form too. I think CA likes dollars and that’d be a good way to get more of them.

Tretch makes perfect sense when you consider where game 3 takes place.Zore posted:I still can't believe we got Tretch Craventail as the Skaven FLC lord. Especially since Skaven already had Queek to fill the role of 'lovely foot Lord with literally no interesting abilities' already and a ton of cooler characters they could have pulled from.
