Ravening Hordes: The Official Warhammer Battle Army Lists

So he sort of mentions...

He feels that playing with all ravening hordes lists is the best way to play...

Warhammer in general.

And I guess he wants to just kind of get our thoughts on that to start off with.

What do you...

I agree, Will.

Really? I'm a big fan of Ravening Hordes and have been for a long time.

I can wax lyrical about this for ages.

It had no army.

Indeed, if we go back to second edition and you look at Ravening Hordes, the only armies that mattered for humanity were Nippon, The Empire.

Kislev for a few mercenaries sitting over on the side.

And yeah, we're almost done.

Do you know why? Because you have neglected the rights of the rodent.

First when we were preparing for this battle I drew up in my list a unit of Clan Slinger Skaven and several Clan Ashen Assassins as detailed in Ravening Hordes and waited for the desired miniatures to hit the streets.

The battle is only a few days away, and without the miniatures, the rats are dead meat.

Where are they? After those ravings, a general note on Skaven models.

How else are we supposed to counter elven chariots, imperial cannon or even dwarf mangonels? Given Clan Skryre's recent experiments with gunpowder, i.e.

the arquebus held by the Skaven leader in your command group, Edvard, and the pistol carried by the Horned Firethrower commander, I would have thought that a Skaven cannon or organ gun along the lines of the Goblinoid Leadbelcher would be a natural progression.

The Clan Molder Beastmasters and Ravening Hordes have not yet arrived and I won't mention the plague censors.

How about a bazooka and petard set? With new plastics given, I don't have to worry about rank and file troops, but I would appreciate a boxed set of things that go bang in the night.
