"Nothing a shitload of bleach won't fix"




If there's gonna be Skaven, I hope they manage to fit in all the hosed up artillery they have along with the disposable rats to get killed. Nothing better than watching 50 Skavenslaves charge in, get hit by a warpfire thrower, or a ratling gun, or a warp lightning cannon (that can shoot through terrain), or a Doom Wheel that just kills all the slaves and what they were fighting and then your real troops bust in to deal with the survivors. Or, alternatively, all of your kick rear end artillery explodes killing most of your own troops and routing your own army before the enemy even gets close. The coin toss of it all is half the fun.

If you get into close combat with that unit, you just direct your base to base models to attack the mage, who then dies about as easier, actually often even easier, as 2 normal dudes.
Being in a unit gives you a meatshield against ranged firepower though. Most mages hightail the gently caress out of units about to be charged, Skaven iirc still have their hilarious rule where mages etc. can lead a unit from the rear.

Hey, leading from the rear is a prestigious position I'll have you know. Exactly the same as not having to accept some stupid duel from a Chaos Champion 5 times your size, with unbreakable armor, a weapon possessed by a greater demon and a couple extra arms carrying swords who's buzzsawed through every unit on the field so far all by his lonesome.
