Skaven Units + Points Review! Age of Sigmar 4th Edition 

The review I whished, the review I wanted, the review I get. Cheers to Warpfire Minis ! 🐀

I really liked your video and loved your insights, especially good, because I will start my Skaven Army soon! BUT I wish you would show the warscrolls you are talking about, would make it a lot easier to follow, also I would love to see more of your corresponding minis to know what exact Unit you are talking about :)

Thanks as always for the insight! You are always great at managing to be thorough and quick. I have a tough time listening to some others that tend to over explain, and ramble. Always appreciate your content. I'm not sure I agree with all of your statements, but you definitely have a great deal more experience, so I will have to accept. Lol. The most beneficial thing I always get from you, is that you see things that did not occur to me. Open the third eye 👁️. I'm excited to try some of this. There are a few things I think I was excited about that you pooped on, but that's a good thing. Save me learning the hard way. Lol. 👍

I had thought maybe I was being too pessimistic but it is good to see a review that covers a lot of the things I was less enthused about, but with some positives highlighted too- good stuff as always

Nice video! One thing to also be aware of with the Grey Seer on Screaming Bell is that the Peal of Doom only affects melee attacks now. A small thing but can be big depending on the match.

Waited for this. Thank you!

The best Skaven content, as always!

Just the video I was hoping for. LETS GO!

thanks for the video! waiting for more-more! thanks to your videos and Gotrek and Felix audiobooks Skaven are going to be my new army in AoS

I'm super surprised by a lot of the units we're having. I'm aligned with your point of view for certain units, and I'm glad to hear that there is still good one, can't wait to test them out!

The last units I painted were a block of 6 jezzails, lucky me. Great video, looking forward to seeing what list(s) you find success with.

Thanks for the summary! Looking forward to seeing some example lists... might need to pick up another squad of Jezzails and Stormfiends

Great pointers, would love to see a few sample lists with focus on each clan and some synergies you plan to link up.

Let’s go! Been waiting for this drop

I really love 40 clan rats in the generals regiment with 1 rend for infantry!! Ideally supported by a singe warpfire flamer. Nobody wants to deal with these guys and they can secure an entire flank on their own. As you pointed out: many units won´t make more then 10 wounds per turn, so with recursion the block should live the entire game and stop the enemy from doing more important stuff.

Hi, Jordan. I believe the Deathmaster is underrated. It does not buff Eshin infantry only, but all Eshin Units. Includes Lord Skreech and VL Deciever. Having run/shoot/charge on monsters could be huge. Loved your review. Cheers!

Hey Jordan. I am hoping you can help since you are the rodent expert. Lol. Or anyone else in the comments. I am just trying to understand gnawholes completely. So I assume tunnels through reality is an ability the gnawhole is using, therefore each gnawhole can do this once per move phase. Similar to what we had before. Gnawhole ambush being a battle trait should not be effected in anyway by this. So in theory we could teleport two units from other holes, and ambush a unit from reserve to the same hole. Is this all correct?

Not having pictures of the units displayed while talking about them ruined what was otherwise an amazing video!

This is exactly what I was looking for . Ill now place my order ;)

Best army review hands down. Right on point from the very beginning. Old skaven player here looking to play AoS4. Jezzails are huge value when looking at the competitive scene. Other than that looking at our roster lacks an identity. So many units from different clans that dont synergize. Maybe a few new datasheets plus a codex will solve this problem.

Yes-yes what I’ve been waiting for! Plan-scheme good 😂😂

really great recap as expected from you, my only suggestion for improvement would be showing the warscrolls while talking about them

Just read the warscrolls, wondered what someone smarter than me would have to say about them, didnt have to wait long

I few points you got wrong/missed: Clawlords: +3A when wounded. He’s not that squishy so do able. The big power though is the ability to make an ally unit hit right after him in attack order. He ever gets a way for Strikes First people will rage. Clanrats: 2A with auto wound on crit and recursion on 20/40 unit, 160pts feels about right. Warp Lightning/Warp Blaster: the self-damage boost only works if a hero is within 3” and even then COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! Planning is the key here.

Thank you!

Hands down my favourite change is the simplification of Thanquol...I hated being tied to a specific combination (I don't magnetise and I'm not really into proxies) Hands down my least favourite change is waving goodbye to Skabbik and crew, I put a lot of effort into painting them. Anyway thanks for the video, I love your straight forward, let's crack on with it approach, there's so much fluff and not enough content on You Tube now-a-days.

whant to see this games. great work. even if i totaly love the self killing powerbuffs from skaven and i am a little sad that so mutch of this rules dont got into the 4.0. have a nice day and great work!

"I dont like blowing up myself" bruh this is skavens. Its our whole thing going.

Time for "Oops All Doom-flayers"

Good video sir

I'm really sad for the clan pestilence, that is my favourite, but at least the clan moulder received some love, fingers crossed for the warscroll of the new hero!

So what do you think the most competitive/optimal list looks like in Skaven right now after that evaluation of the units?

Thank you as always! Great summary. What do you think of Night Runners pre-game move, three clawsteps and getting run, shoot and charge off Deathmaster. Then again three clawsteps in their hero phase. Not the biggest threat but great range.

Clanrats Attack characteristic whent from 1 to 2, i think getting 100% more attacks pr. Model is okay for a 60% point increase

Best warhammer channel ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

What's your understanding of how the Deathmasters passive works? As it's black (start of turn), do the Eshin units just need to be within at the start of turn or when they want to shoot or charge? Also, guessing it's self-referental and Deathmaster always can run, shoot and charge?

So, what would you choose between 3 storm fiends (rattling, wind launchers and shock gauntlets) and Hellpit abomination?

Good early review

Oh thank goodness the Verminlord I wanted to get is actually good (I just started painting my eshin army with the new edition)

I want to run x3 Ratling Warpblaster and MORE MORE them each turn and tons of Jezzails.

You're wrong! 😅 And I don't even play Skaven! Thanks for the the overview.. Maybe I stand a small chance now, of knowing what has happened when I lose to my friend 😁

Totally new to AOS, you kept mention being able to return infantry models, how do the skaven do that? For example the jazzails?

Nice! I was patiently waiting to see what were your thoughts on the new warscrolls! I wish you went over the gnawholes too hahaha It surprised me to see that you rated the warpseer the lowest of all the Verminlords! Hainvg the ability to cast 2 spells, so you can potentially give last strike to one unit, and take out a charge dice from another, seems super powerful for those points, on top of the +2" to the hero phase move. Other than that, I truly think that the Deceiver is gonna shine in a lot of games, and the rest of your thoughts on the warscroll seem to be very aligned with mine, which is interesting to see.

What are your thoughts on how effective a unit of 3 "ranged" Stormfiends would be in say a Skryre list? - Ratling Cannons - Either Windlaunchers or Warpfire Throwers - Shock Gauntlets

Thoughts about running stormvermin over clan rats?

You are wrong! Just kidding, thanks for your overview and thoughts. I will start AoS with this new edition, so this helped a lot. Have a nice weekend

Clanrats are just getting better 🐀🔪

Good review there, although I strongly disagree about the Warp Lightning Cannon. That thing got buffed hard. When overcharging it makes 2D6 plus 6 shots and since it has a to hit value now it can benefit from all out attack. On average you're getting 9 to 10 mortal damage out of a single volley with that. Yes you can blow yourself sky high but it has a good change of taking down something with a higher value itself.

Great Video, I agree with your takes. Skaven infantry will be the future. I know clan rats are expensive but do you think 3x40 in verminus with -1 h/w and ward is enough to be fun and still a little competitive?

it’s such a shame, the Warpseer is my favourite. Can a skaven list in 4th be magic focussed and still viable?

Thanks for the rat recap Jordan!

Clanrats don't feel worth it unless they're 40s more like a grinder unit and chaff now like 3e. It seems like the 20 points less for the monks makes a difference so often in list building. We really need priest back. Making a legends list with 100 point skabbiks in a regiment with a corrupter and 110 plague priest feels like an entirely different army.

Ohh I didnt see the official list, just watched your video. So, PCB are gone?

This man knows Deceiver is the truth

@warpfire Minis sry, but you said, "scurry away triggers before combat" where in the rule is that written? thanks alot

Did the three named characters and their "warbands" from Underworlds not make the cut into 4th edition? That would be a huge bummer if they didn't. I have a set of each unopened.

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love your videos I'm afraid I have to disagree with your take on the Warp Lightning Cannon and Ratling Warpblaster. As a Skaven player, you ALWAYS hit the big red button.

What is "rampage"?

what is skreech paying the extra 70 points for?

1+ to cast ? You freaking kidden me ? He had a + 3 to cast before ! Yep fuck gen 4 !

lol i was going to trade me jezels, but you sold them to me.

Rats rats were the rats

Well i love the jezzails again, and the bring back units are great but the bell, and furnace, just got ruined, skryre heroes well honestly i think Bombardier and engineer, kinda no point sad we lost the warpstone mechanic, maybe its me that cant find it, their shot ofc are great, and i can sniper jezzails, but ehhh, but ya i see 4-6 units of jezzails keep me 3 so i get 2 back and gives me better board controll, gnawholes shit i can plant em anywhere so plant it so enemy lands on it with their move ya it dies or do d3 mortals, og you send jezzails behind pr anything else hiding😂😂😂 see fun, but half our units that got legend should not be there and half our units they kept should have been legend 🤯

Protection of the horn rat is gone on all unit hu had it ? Wtf ? Skaven has benn nerft like a lot ! Even thanquel flame attack ! Mortal wund on 4 + 1 dice pr foame trower on each unit within 8 inc ! Gone ! Now it just a normal attack and no mortal wunds ? Hell no !

Wow ! Just wow ! They fuckt up screaming bell even more ! From generasion 1 where it had 12 difrent powers and 12 was to summen a lord or fully heal the bell ! To gen 3 where you had to destry to bell to get a lord ! Not you cant even summen a lord at all and oelibg doom aka the bubbel is only 13 ? Why even take this shitty bell now ? Ward 6 is the only good thing it has now ! Rest is jusness !

3 main things ! Point increase ! Nerft the fuckt out of them ! From a tir to shit tir ! And build in ward is gone ! Hope the book for them has som soicy shit in it ! Because ward scroll freaking suck ass ! Huge skaven player and i only see ! Nerft ! Nerft ! Nerft ! Not wroth bringing before not littlerey never bring it ! Nerft ! Nerft ! No ward on this now ! No mortal wunds on this ! No over clock 3 now ! Warp lightning canons are littlerey shit now ! My 2 generals ! Thanquel ! Nerft ! 1 casting and 1 cast ? From 3 + to casting and 2 casting ! No ward ! His flame trowers ! Shit ! Even war veast lost his ward ! If they remove the artifackt ( shield of distractor ) can only be pickt by 1 unit pr combat attack ! That shoting charting and combat attack face ) harder to hit and hiscommand trade ( powerfull alfa ) first 2 wund or mortal wund is negated ! And with his build in ward 5 + ! He was a treat to be feard ! All this is gone now 😢

Clanrats Attack characteristic whent from 1 to 2, i think getting 100% more attacks pr. Model is okay for a 60% point increase
