Skaven are one of the , if not THE hardest warband in mordheim. Why?
- They can take six heroes from the start (and should do so!) After a few games skaven heroes get really dangerous, -scouting, 18 inch moving rats with three or four (poisoned) attacks are nasty.
- Also, slingshots are brutal. On close range they can shoot twice and the original rules do not have modfier for multiple shots (i suggest to play it with a modfier of -1 to hit as in warhammer, otherwise the slingshot is really broken).
- Skaven are quick enuogh to run from cover to cover whilst bridging the distance until they can shoot their slings.
- And last but not least, skaven are cheap and thus numerous. They have to be, because their ld is not good and an early rout test can sour your day when your band runs right before you could have charged in.
