    @CesarTheKingVA Před 2 měsíci +10

    So I was looking over the new rules previews, and in AOS 4e you can have up to 5 regiments of individual characters supported by 3 units each (or 4 for the general). So a maximum of 16 units in a legal army. No other restrictions.
    Clanrats come in units of 20.
    Technically, if someone was insane and devoted to the Great Horned Rat, you could bring a completely legal army of 16 groups of clanrats.
    You can bring 320 rats. And 5 heroes. 325 rats.

    They look good. Honestly clanrats didnt really need an update but these do look nice.
    But Plague Monks and Nightrunner kits BADLY need a resculpt.

    • @alexscholz3438
      @alexscholz3438 Před 2 měsíci +5

      The entire eshin line desperately needs a redo. I can sort of live with plague monks looking ugly as sin, they're plague monks after all, though I do hope for an update. But the ENTIRE eshin line looks so, so bad, especially since they're very 'clean' for Skaven. There's like, the deathmaster, and that's it I think?

    • @samb.8134
      @samb.8134 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Completely agree, I was almost hoping Clanrats wouldn't get refreshed because of everything else that needs updated - even if I am very happy with how they look. The plague monks have aged, but nothing has aged as poorly as the Nightrunners. The fact that they, of all units, aren't in the list of things that are going is just wild.
      But seems likely we'll get updated plague censer bearers, and if the Underworlds warband is anything to go by they'll look great. Dual kit for monks/censer bearers would be great, if unlikely.

    Yeah those Clanrats are 15 years old. They came out in 2009 alongside their updated army book. It's way time for them to get an update.
    Also I've only just noticed how old the banner bearer looks. He looks like he'll sit you down and tell you some tales, like the time he was thrown at a liberators face and survived. By contrast the champion looks a younger fresh recruit taking command for the first time.

    I'll always have a soft spot for the skaven. They were my first Warhammer army. See back in Fantasy, a Skaven warlord could be quite dangerous if you kitted him out right. High weapon skill and high initiative, mixed with a weapon that buffed his crap strength? Surprisingly deadly.

    I do like that they've made them look legitimately nasty. Skaven typically run the risk of coming off as goofy, like "oh, look at the silly rat-people" but these ones lean nicely into the vibe of them just being wrong, like something that isn't supposed to be the way it is.

  • @darrenrichardson6146

  • @0815UserII
    @0815UserII Před 2 měsíci +1

    More than the details, I think it's the poses that make a difference compared to the old ones. The old Clanrats were decent enough for what they represent, and they were part of the wave that introduced the recent design Skaven are still following, being first released in Island of Blood and later as their standalone box.
    Definitely an update where I won't feel bad putting the old ones in with the new ones, though. Which is good, since I managed to get my hands on a ton of the old ones last year, both from the Skaven vs Sylvaneth box and an eBay haul with multiple Blood Island sets worth of Skaven.
    Luckily, the base size means they can be easily set up to pull double duty in both AoS and ToW, where I can actually put this many Clanrats to use.

      There's a lot of kits that have the same set of sprues twice - basically everything sold as 20 models, which includes new Zombies and Ossiarch Infantry from AoS (and the current Stormvermin)
      Pretty sure the box will still end up being 20 models, just sprues doubled. And hopefully enough customisation that it doesn't show, but I'd be vaguely optimistic given last editions Hobgrots

    I just dont know that skaven are going to benefit from being mono-pose, especially clanrats :/

      Gonna be fair the old clanrats where really monopose, they where made up of two pieces, body then an arm, head and left arm holding shield was sculpted on the body, if anything this is the same just prettier

    The Skaven basically look the same, an entirely pointless WASTE of time. They have a lot more detail now which means they're gonna take TWICE as long to paint now. I don't know why they're re-doing the clanrats and stormvermin (I assume)... they were recent (2009) good, modern and fitted with AoS.
    They should have re-done the plague monks and gutter runners (I assume they are coming) and put THEM in the Starter Box. Thus, giving them space to re-do other models that DO need an update. Very inexplicable choice.

    Hold up, didn't GW just take away the entire Skaven army, along with the beasts of chaos and most of the Stormcast eternal line of minis? Now as I understood it the beasts and Skaven would still get updated rules for the non competitive players but competitive gaming with those armies/units were not going to be a thing after a set date I believe early summer of this year ..so why the new kit again?

      Skaven were (long rumored and finally) announced as AoS 4th edition's poster children (alongside obligatory Stormcasts), complete with fancy CGI trailer and all, well before that range culling announcement. It was clear that almost all of those units would get refreshes throughout this edition and that GW was merely cleaning out stock of all the old kits at once, so for these two armies some units may be unavailable for many months, but inevitably return. The others in that notification are the ones leaving official AoS tournaments soon: Bonesplitterz and Beasts of Chaos to come home to The Old World as Savage Orcs and Beastmen, whereas niche units of old Warcry warbands are riding off into the Chaos sunset for good.

      @@twincast2005 I appreciate the clarification, it seemed odd to me that instead of simply updating an army's kit they'd trash them and then redo it. That would be like throwing chaos space Marines out of 40k only to reinstall them after updating, just seemed an unnecessary step.

      @@Darius1520 I assume it's due to their constant stock issues across all of their games in recent years; free up production capacity and shelf space by dropping kits early that would become obsolete soon(ish) anyway.

    As a proud rat owner I'm not impressed with these new sculpts. Show me skryre acolytes, new rat ogres, new gutter and night runners.... NEW PLAGUE MONKS! nope, there you got a "new" battleline, the most boring, least elite and interesting models in the range... and these new sculpts have VERY limited customizability options. With high numbers of units the repeating patterns will look bad.

    • @iharpo9292

      I disagree on the repeating patterns, past a certain number of models repeat patterns blend together. You could easily break it up by painting different metals or different colors on the cloaks of some. Etc. Guardsmen, ork boys, termagants all tend to blend into a mob anyway on the table. Plus i bet you can swap out arms and stuff. A good arm swap can make 2 bodies require a decent amt of looking to see their identical
