Hi fellas.

since i am totally new to ´skaven a few pointers would be nice.

I tried this against Norse

3 Gutterrunners
2 Stromvermins
1 Thrower
8 Linerats
3 RR
3 FF

After the game i decided that this might be better:
(having seen Norse win 3 Cheering famns and one throw a rock because of his higher FF)

3 Gutterrunners
2 Stromvermins
1 Thrower
7 Linerats
3 RR
8 FF

So what are peoples feelings about TT 110 Skavens.
Any and all help is most welcome.

Regards Poul

too much FF and rats, for me

i'm for "low FF school"
i would play
4GR
2SV
1T
5L
3RR
4FF

u can even change a line for an apo, but i dont trust on them for tourney

Thanks for the input.

So far i am reluctant to go to low at the FF. At a Tournement all it takes is 1 Pitchinvasion to waste your team.

As for dropping the thrower think that he is better to get the ball with due to the Sure hands. Having to waste a RR on the pickup can really hurt the you with only 3 of them.

Keep the advice comming

Why go with a 14 man roster? I'd drop a linerat and go with a 12 man roster and an apothecary. Even in tourneys that don' t keep permenant injuries, the apoth serves the purpose of a reserve, only it lets you keep you best player on the pitch instead of bringing out a lineman backup the next turn. 12 should almost certainly be enough for you to win, and if you drop the FF down to 7, you can have 4 rerolls for the GR's.

The only problem I see is that you are going to have a very hard time against the strength teams if they cage up. You may want to playtest with and without a rat ogre against Khemri or Orc, to see which roster seves you better against the bashers.

well having tested a Minotaur i will never include a Ratogre. The new Wa is simply to bad. All it takes is one block to get the RO down and then he is more or less out of the game for a couple of turns.

I think you need two throwers. Rat are squishy and the Ag isn't that great. I take two and drop the FF to 6.

Valid Point.

Think i will try that in the next test game.

thx.

i'd go:

6 FF
4 RR
4 GR
2 SV
6 L

pick the ball with one GR, attack with the 3 others, protect with the regular linemen, make a break with the vermins.

if injuries aren't kept from one match to another, i seriously think you don't need an apothecary, and i think 12 players are enough... if you don't feel comfortable with only 12, take one instead of a 4th RR.
