Featured army of the Week

This week's featured army isn't as WOW as last weeks, but its worth noting. This Skaven Horde belongs to Marcus Martin. He believes in running a different kind of army from most Skaven players. No ratling guns (even before 7th ed.), no wizards, loves the large G.Rat blocks and loves master moulders. Marcus also believes in bright colors for his Skaven often implementing greens and of course he has the famed yellow clanrats. Marcus has torn up the GT circuit this year with 3 different armies including his Southlands list, his fast cav Tomb Kings and this army, Skaven.

Here is a pic of his army:


And here are some of his slaves:


Here are some Eshin troops, either gutter runners or night runners:


Here is his tunnel team with what I believe is his tunnel marker. And rat swarms:


And here are his Giant Rat units. As you can see he runs in packs of 4, so he gets 24 rats and 4 handlers giving him a 5x5 with 3 extra and a US of 28. Pretty sweet really. And he often will put in a master moulder to lead these guys to allow them to re-roll psych tests and give a bit of punch in combat.



Of course no Skaven army is complete without some Jezzails. The best knight killers in the game:


And finally Marcus loves one unit I always have a hard time getting to be really useful, but I still bring them. He brings 20 of these bad boys. Poison Wind globadiers, hit on 4+, wound on 4+. Pity the fool who flies a monster behind his lines.


I hope you enjoyed Marcus army. Besides being a great player, he is also a great person to share a beer with and can work any probability math you throw his way. He also maintains the Unofficial US Warhammer rankings. As long as you have been to at least 2 GTs in the last 12 months, you will be ranked. You can find it here:
