Anyone planning on being around this evening for a game?

I'm feeling the need to use some crazy weapon teams... exploding rats need to go BOOM.  ;D

Psh... sadly the fiancee is in Kansas, so I don't really get a choice!

Business as usual tonight for me... the rats need to blow up!

I mean really, how many times have I played Skaven and NOT had my own things blow up?!  It's sad!

Two games last night, lower number of people due to V-Day and all.

Empire vs Dark Elves
Empire vs Skaven

Both games went pretty well... except we had a lot of bizarre rolls in the Empire vs Skaven game... just really odd all around.  Everything still seemed to be fun though, which is the important part!

Sean, I believe.

He had bad luck of having his Hydra murdered in the first turn and was kind of trying them out for the first time I believe.

One thing I noticed from the game, Dark Elf magic is kind of absurd.  :(  Makes me wish my Skaven had fun tricks like that...

You have 13th, wither, scorch, plague, skitterleap, and condenser warp lightning you bastard

Ok... well maybe a few little more insane tricks then...  lol.  ::)

I haven't really found Scorch or Skitterleap to be all that helpful though, then again I run most of my characters joined up with units pretty much all the time.

I think I tried to cast 13th every turn last night... never got it though... but it's fun to just save two dice and try for it last... just in case you get lucky.

he was probably playing nice, shadow is so insanely stupid with dark elves its unreal.

and scorch and skitterleap are awesome spells, i'm sure when you get the hang of using them you'll agree.

and that is a very strange line of reasoning regarding the 13th. you know you're only gonna get it about once every 6 games if you do that right? lol. and power scroll is your friend.

Oh, yeah, I made serious attempts at it too, but if I had two spare dice, I'd try it for grins.  Not that I was counting on it to go off on any of the 2 dice attempts.

And yep, I had a power scroll, he just dispelled the hell out of it the time I used it.

I think he was using whatever school of magic comes in the DE book, I don't really know what the schools do outside of the Skaven ones.

the trick with the scroll is to use it when you roll really low for the winds. then you pop your power scroll and force it through with your warp tokens.

It varies but there's 6-8 regular fantasy players with a couple extra who swing by occasionally.
