Cullen joins me as we crack open one of the oldest Army Books playable for 8th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles, the Skaven!
With the longest review yet, enjoy as the two of us go every unit and spell, magic item, and special rule in the Army Book.
Check out some new Skavenish type minis here: pungaminiatures...

Good army book review. I agree with most things you said. Few things to note though: -Assassins are actually a very good choice and they were part of the tournament meta when fantasy was still being played. You would put one or two of them in a Stormvermin Screaming Bell unit and they would take care of enemy characters and provide combat resolution to create a terrifying death star. Setup was first assassin with Weeping Blade and Potion of Strenght and the second with Blade of Corruption and other tricksters shard. Skaven Assassins are so good because they have the 4++ build in which for example the Dark Elf Khainite Assassin do not have, -Scorch cannot be cast into close combat as Rulebook Page 31 states that wizards cannot target spells at units that are engaged in close combat. -I strongly disagree with the opinion that howling warpgale is a mediocre spell. It is one of the best from the lore of ruin. Its main effect is not only the negative shooting modifier but the fact that it forbids flying. That is strong against a huge variety of factions including Vampire Counts (Fellbats, Vargheists, Terrorgheist), Warriors of Chaos (Demon Prince, Chimera), and even Teradon Riders of Pegasus Knights. -If Skweel Gnawtooth dies the units retains the buffs he provided so its not really a big deal if he dies in combat.

Should have waited one more year for 13! Now we just have to wait 13 more years for GW to update the models. Cant believe they still havent updated the skaven model range, it’s their number one, hands down, no contest, most unique and awesome army they have. Hope they get their shit together soon and realize that.

This Skaven book was one of the best fantasy army books GW's ever written, probably one of the best faction books of all time in the fantasy-40k paradigm. I'd even put it up there with the CSM 3.5e and SM 4e codex books with how good it was

Ah Skaven. Wonderful army full of some zany and traitorous shit that if you don't take full advantage of, you're doing something wrong. Because why else would you bring those slaves if it wasn't just to shoot into them with the units you care about. 59:30 And here, Steve says the rarest sentence of any WHFB player: "Let's play Watchtower!" 1:02:12 Reminder for Steve to find that link in case anyone in the comments doesn't. Also, this was a really fun review. I feel like the addition of someone to bounce off of really helped carry on a quick pace and it helped make this video feel as long as the other reviews even though it's far longer than them.

@@MountainMiniatures Hi Steve... I admit, that sounds reasonable. Skaven probably need +1 strength and +1 attack much more than orcs do. However, Basha's Axe of Stunty Smashin can also be taken by goblin characters... in a goblin only army, I think I would definitely take it. And against dwarves, I'd ALWAYS take it.
