Rat-A-Tooie

My second 2,250 point Skaven army today, this one is totally hand-to-hand combat focused. This army consists of:

Lords
-Grey Seer on Screaming Bell with Power Scroll, Shadow Magnet Trinket, & Skalm

Heroes
-Chieftain Battle Standard Bearer with Charmed Shield & Talisman of Preservation
-Warlock Engineer with Doomrocket

Core
-44x Clanrats with Shields & Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team
-40X Clanrats with Shields & Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team
-40x Skavenslaves
-40x Skavenslaves
-6x Giant Rats with 1x Packmaster

Special
-6x Rat Ogres with 4x Packmasters
-8x Gutter Runners with Slings & Poisoned Attacks

Rare
-Doomwheel
-Hell Pit Abomination with Warpstone Spikes

This is a much more straight forward army list. This one simply wants to get in close to the enemy and beat the snot out of them. The avalanche of attacks provided by the Rat Ogres (21 at full strength) will help take heat off of your Hell Pit Abomination and / or Doomwheel. If not, the Rat Ogres will make mincemeat of whatever they touch. It's a win-win scenario!

This time the Hell Pit Abomination has Warpstone Spikes. This is to keep ethereal units like Wraiths from being able to dismantle the creature with no return attacks.

The Giant Rats are another war machine hunter. They attack from the front as the Gutter Runners attack from the rear.

All the other models act exactly as they did in the previous list, with the exception of the Screaming Bell, which wants to advance with the army.

This is one of my personal favorite lists, which trades the Magic Phase for raw hitting power. Once the enemy is crushed and driven before me, I do a little happy dance.

...In theory...
