The Throwers combine very well with the Gutter Runners to produce some very quick touchdowns and I’ve been 3-0 up with Skaven before half-time in games under the previous edition. How do they play?Īs mentioned above Skaven are fast… lightning fast. I have used a slightly larger base than used in most Blood Bowl models but as long as they don’t stand next to each other too often it should be fine to have a little overlap of the squares. I used them here without conversion – just a change of base shape. They are the Rat Ogres from the old Warhammer starter set – Island of Blood – which featured Skaven against High Elves. The Rat Ogres were a suggestion by one of my Hobby Buddies – Chris Denmark. Makes me wish we had these colours when I painted Empire – always liked Stirland (Green and Yellow).
Yellow’s are much better than when I started gaming and this is a great combo. The skin is Volupus Pink (contrast) and the armour is Averland Sunset with a wash of Iyanden Yellow. I’ve not done purple/pink and yellow before and I think it works well for a small force – not sure how I’d feel about it on a full Skaven army in Age of Sigmar or The Old World though. I painted these using elements of ‘Slap Chop’ for the skin and black cloaks and then ‘battle ready’ for the armour. Also who doesn’t like Big Guys? 6 Skaven Clanrat Linemen 2 Stormvermin 2 Skaven Throwers 2 Gutter Runners 2 Rat Ogres The Full Team! I added to this 2 Rat Ogres for a bit of beef in the team. The box set comes with 6 Skaven Clanrat Linemen, 2 SkavenThrowers, 2 Stormvermin and 2 Gutter Runners. Low armour, good agility and 1 turn touchdown scoring Gutter Runners (with a few skills and movement increases.
I’ve loved the Skaven Blood Bowl team since the 2nd Edition (the original one, not the reboot!) as it is the polar opposite of the Orc team. Hot on the heels of the Orc Blood Bowl Team being completed, I decided I would try to get a few more teams finished… and next on the pile was always going to be the Skaven.
