hey guys, we started a league with the 6th Edition. I hope you guys remember the good old times and can give me some tips against skaven. Until now I got a draw vs VC and got massacred by ogres. So I hardly need a win soon. I am in vacation at the moment so I don't have an army book right now but my list would be kind of this: -Slann, gen. 4, 5+ ward safe for the unit, PoTepok, diadem of power -skink priest, cube of darkness -skink priest, scout, scroll -skink priest, scout, scroll -10 skink scout, blowpipes -10 skink jav / shield -10 skink jav / shield -16 saurus warrior, full command with speers -6 chameleon skinks -3 terrasons -6 saurus Cav., full command, huanchi totem -3x salamander -3x salamander So the slann and the priests should raise hell on the skaven with damage spells. Chameleons are there for a warp canon, scout skinks for support and the terradons against jizzles. Salamander should burn a lot of skaven and the cav is a hard hitting unit. The saurus block should win CC against skaven and with a 5+ wardsave and skinks in front it should be able to get to CC I think it's round about 2k but I need the book to say that exactly. What do you think? Any tips are very welcome
An interesting list. I like to see the lack of hordes, as I don’t like to see hordes unless they are of expendable quantity troops like Skinks, because I believe they are cumbersome and expensive, and I hate how GW really advocated the use of them in 8th. I can’t offer you much in terms of tactics because I joined the Warhammer community in 7th Ed, but I can provide you with a link to a website that has PDFs of all army books in existence, so you can look at a 6th Ed book even on holiday: https://vk.com/page-66400870_49542856 Hope this helps!
Oh that's a good side. I can also look in my enemies army books. Thank you. Not the kind of advice I was looking for but helpful anyway
Hello! I am going to play a 6th edition game against Skaven with a very similar armylist. I took out one of the salamander team and made the priests 2nd level mages. Does anybody have further suggestions? Thank you!
Yes, you recall correctly. However, they can have a tough life when they have to face ratlings, jetzails and warp lightings
