i think best use for the mounted character would be as an allied chaos champion on steed of some kind, along with some chaos hounds for the core which you could use the old fw wolf rat models for
My instinct for the mounted bossrat was Doomwheel. The little rat attacks cover the beast. The lightning attacks cover the multibarrel pistol. Impact hits from big ole creature and the huge polearm thing. Smaller base than a Hellpit Abom too. Sure, it's not perfect but I think that's how I'd lean. I do love the new clan rats. Similar to the slightly older ones without invalidating previous models. Plus I think the size looks on par with the original metal ratmen. Not seen them side by side of course.
I'm surprised they stillc all them *Warplock* Jezzails despite being evidently not using a warplock mechanism anymore, but instead are ... gas powered? They're solid sculpts, but personally, I'd propably convert them a bit to look closer to their name's sake.
As a follow up, how about price for these skaven as old world? The price of the box is revealed in the T&C of the competition, the price of appropriate bases, etc.
Whilst I have probably enough models to make about a 2000 point army, I have never actually played a game with Skaven 😅 If you were asking about casual games, I'd say get things that you think look cool. But for tournament games I'd be guessing. Sorry about that 🫣
I'm so salty that they took all of the warlord's / chieftain's mountoptions away - could have been perfectly played as a Pox Rat, Bonebreaker or Broodhorror mount, hell as a Palanquin even. Is it paranoid to speculate that it was a deliberate choice because they didn't want people to buy the new Skaven minis for ToW? Eitherway, its a shame, I think Skaven are sadly easily the army in the worst / most imcomplete state right now. So many missing units & mechanics, but tons of restrictions on army building. I guess I'd play the warlord here as a Rat Ogre + Packmaster, while putting a place holder base down to represent the packmaster's actual position in the unit.

Good shout 👍🙂
you could run the skaven warlord on beast as a demon prince , put it on a 50mm base and away you go ..

Yeah, I think it could work 👍🙂
I just need the Warplock jezzails. My Greyseer is literally surfing on a screaming bell, don't need one on foot.

Didn’t see that. How much is it?
@@OldWorld_Gaming £160 from what I've seen ... Made a deal with one of the Carmarthen regulars to buy the skaven 1/2 of his box.
@@georgemarsden4226 Nice!
AOS/40k launch set and and starter set models never hold their value on the second hand market. I'd honestly recommend waiting till August
@@DMKA94 I'd be spending £80 ish to get the monthly coin anyway. May as well help a friend out at the same time.
Can you suggest some skaven units to Play some tournaments? It Seems skaven are lacking
Skaven definitely are lacking, the weakest of the 'non legal' races and possibly one of the weakest races other than ogres

Yeah it is definitely a shame, should have been pretty easy to give the options. Rat ogre + pack master seems like a decent option 👍
