I started playing Warhammer Age of Sigma around the end of last year and now have a small army of serafon (around 2000 points) and the Vengard box of the lumineth realm lord (and a combat patrol of 40K) I've been interested in the Gloomspite Gitz trolls for a long time but have recently developed an interest in the Skaven. I really liked the beginning of the video, maybe it will convince me to get it. I should watch your other videos, for example the Lumineth real Lords, I bought it more because of my feelings 😅 Edit: please can you make a Video about Seraphon?
@rocomet thank you for this amazing breakdown! I've been collecting Skaven for the last two years and started strong by collecting two Echos of Doom Boxes with a Buddy that plays Sylvaneth! I don't quite have the mass to pull off most of your lists but I am EXTREMELY grateful for your recommendations on fundementals. The GW stores have been doing a massive Path to Glory campaign to wrap up the 3rd edition events and my first two games devistated me. I really need to dig in and learn the rules. (trying to become a player as well as a painter, I have almost 7000 points of skaven but sadly other than the Skryer items you mention many of my models are in your don't play category :) ) Regardless, I am excited to give a lot of this a whirl and see how it pans out. I'll report back on how Game 3 goes! :) Hopefully my Warlord Itheek Skitterboom the Bombadier will have a turn of luck and start bring the Great Horned Rat the glory it deserves! :) To elaborate, I'm planning to fight on death, field my 2 screaming bells with the Grey Seer on foot (or get another Grey seer) I need to get a Warp Grinder weapons team. And really dig in on the spells like you were saying. I think my best luck is going to be in the Skyre world because I love those goofy contraptions and I'm a 40k Ork player so I love the chancey crazy stuff! :)
Just got into AOS and i'm building a flesheater court. Subbed and patiently awaiting your visit to our dining hall for a grand feast with royal honors.
Strange that there no insectoid race even in AoS... that supposedly be high on magic and ideas, water-elfs and Ghouls with Liches and Ghosts present but no Insectoid races... very strange -Summons Kerrigan- Love yours videos, they are funny
Agreed, we know there is an insectoid race in the mortal realms that originate from Beastgrave in Ghur called the "Silent Ones". It would be really cool if we got to see them either as an army or as a warband in one of the side games
Hm, I heard you say that Stormvermin are not good. I just ran the math, and point for point they outswing Liberators and Bleakswords in combat, and swing roughly equal to 'Ardboyz in terms of points of damage inflicted in combat on each other. Are they really that terrible at combat for a battleine? Then how bad are Liberators? They even swing favorably against Longbeards with Gromril Shields, although they lose against Grandweapons. It seems to me you could do a lot worse than Stormvermin, especially if you buffed them.
Thanks for including that last list. I'm not a big fan of squigs or troggs tbh, so I was wondering if you could have a list be fun to play without them.
I really wish other factions took notes from the Skaven Battletome. The 'make your own subfaction' army creation ROCKS! In my opinion, the only thing holding the Skaven rules back is some really specific keywording that makes some really cool interactions not happen. I just think it would be cool if master moulders and warplock engineers could buff storm fiends.
i play enough skaven to expect gaining nothing new from this video and just watching for entertainment but you actually showed me a few tricks and a list to try: the doomwheel list; its so wierd and funny that i need to try that one day. never thought about making these guys work. awesome video dude!
Realistically, probably won't happen anytime soon. Age of Sigmar is already a huge game with a lot for one person to cover and 40k just quite isn't something I'm as interested in. I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos though
@@rocomet Oh, wait, so you plan on making a "how to play" for all aos armies? That's gonna be a huge time investment, and I'm sure it will end up being amazing. It'll be like a wahapedia for strategies!
Rattling Guns I don't recommend to players as for the most part they are just ineffective, they usually do a bit of damage and immediately die after without accomplishing much
amazing work dude, easily earned a sub from me, hope to see more stuff like this. Great script, great narration and i love the animation. and ofc long live the rat men
Is it possible to do a guide for Nurgle. I understand its a pretty simple army but I'm just getting started in AoS and would like just a lil help to know what models are good and bad.
with the "sigmar lied" teaser we might get a skaven model refresh here, at the very least the gutter runners will get the plastic operation it sorely needs
Love your guides, i find them digestible and not a headache compared to when im trying to research army guides by myself also ironically the main hook to why i like your guides is your illustrations they are fun 😁 Also, i have a question: When you're gonna cover the Orruk Warclans in a future video, would these be covered when going indepth with the Ironjaws or would you simply link this vid in that vid for the coverage?
Realistically, with as many armies as I have to cover, I probably wouldn’t cover Ironjaws until they get another major rules update, probably next edition.
