Using them correctly can make a big difference in your quest to dominate the Great Vortex. Skaven players have a limited number of summons per battle, with a cooldown timer between each one. But they provide a valuable distraction as the enemy is forced to deal with a new threat on the fly. The actual rat-men you summon from underground are weak units, little more than cannon fodder. These units can be summoned anywhere, even right in front of or behind enemy troops. Ranged units don't stand a chance against the rat ogres, as long as you can get them there safely.Īnother unique option the Skaven have in battle is summoning groups of units from their subterranean lairs. You'll be instructed to send your rat ogres into a nearby forest, sneaking them up on an unsuspecting ranged unit of high elves. The game also uses the rat ogres as an opportunity to teach cover mechanics. These hulking brutes pack a serious punch at close range, throwing foes around like rag dolls.
Later in the fight, a group of rat ogres (who are a major threat in Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide) arrive and join your army as well. You'll also begin with ranged units who use slings to toss projectiles. The lower cost types fight with shields and swords or spears. The Skaven army consists of multiple varieties of deadly ratmen.
After a cinematic in which your rat lord can barely wait to crush his opponents, the melee begins. The starting clash involves four regiments of units on each side, but your army will grow exponentially as you requisition new units between turns. Moving your lord across the map towards the enemy commander, you'll soon get your first taste of battle. Of the last two Stratagems, Load-Fire-Reload seems good.Your Skaven warlord starts out owning a single settlement on the sequel's new continent and the pesky high elves close at hand. This can come in clutch in a pinch, and can even be used on non-infantry units for an extra CP. This strat allows you to push up the board in emergencies and being able to still shoot your weapons as if you didn’t move. If you are using large squads, this 1CP can save quite a few bodies swinging the turn in your favor! Shock Troops also looks to be great in a heavily infantry focussed list. Both of the Battle Tactic Stratagemslook great! Cadia Stands from Octarius make your infantry harder to take down by making 1s and 2s to wound auto fail, while also giving you a +1 save if the weapon is being used against your infantry in 1 Damage. The Cadians received quite a few new Stratagem options in the book, with a total of 7 new options landing in players’ arsenals.
