RATMEN - Skaven Fantasy Army - Rules Agnostic

I am now embarking on one of my favourite parts of a project like this. Getting all my stuff out onto a tabletop and seeing just what I have and what I’m going to do with it.

So that is all the stuff I have for the Ratmen Army 🙂

I like to lay out all the models, and bases, and any additional materials I’m likely to use during the project.

Then I come to organizing it into an army. This is where I share the Number 1 Rule of Agnostic Armies – you no longer shape your army to the rules, you shape the rules to your army!

Yup these armies are there for my enjoyment 100% of the time – so when I’m not playing with them I want them to be on display so I can look at them, not just hidden away in some bag!

So I pick a format for units based on what I have and what I think will be cool!

This is the point where you discover you don’t have quite enough bases.

So I have popped a message to the wonderful chap at https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/custom-bases to see if he can do a couple more bases for me to the same colour scheme.

So what does the roster look like for this army, well currently its looking a bit like this:

• 1 – Command Squad (Boss, 2 Heroes, 2 Banner Men)
• 5  – Sniper Teams
• 1 – 6 Man Unit of Slingers
• 1 – Big Ass Rat Gun
• 3 – 6 Man Units of Swords Men + Plus Leader Rat
• 2 – 9 Man Units of Pike Men + Leader Rat
• 2 – Plague Furnaces
• 3 – Doomwheels

And I’m pretty pleased with that and I think it will give my other armies a good run for their money both in the looks department and on the battlefield!
