Skaven! Why do you like them?

[White Tiger88]

Skaven = an army of Dr.Evil level Inept Rats.........what is not to love?

Sadly, I haven't gotten to play with my rats on the table very much. I have this weird vow that I don't play un-painted pieces. Also, the amount of time it requires to play can be tough too.

That being said. They are super fun! And, nothing ever goes quite according to plan. Like this one time a full 3rd of my army fled off the board on my first turn... Damn terror and unit destruction!

Yes, nothing quite like the Skaven.

Seeing a fully painted horde on the table makes me do the little hand-twitchy-thing of joy...

Whats not to love? Crazy inventions? Check. Barbourous treason? Check. Ruthlessness and destruction? Check. I love how even on your best game Skaven still have the opportunity to just go completely awry and ruin your day. I've played games where they basically win on turn 1 only to go and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory around turn 5. Any army that flip flops that much is a hoot.
