best fantasy army

[genestealer1414]

i'd rather have a poll

There is no "best army". All armies have pros and cons. Just choose what you like.

Although, I heard that Skaven are getting raped because of the new rules...

I won my first and only fantasy match with skaven, hee. Though I have seen them get pwned a lot, so you're probably right on that...
My favourite for appearance is the Dogs of War, but they're a custom army and difficult to set up. Following that, Ogre Kingdoms for the Mongol Warrior look.

Psychichobo, do you play skryre, because i do, and my tech allways find the way of frying themselfs. I love skaven fluff, very funny...
But i say,
Go lizzies!
They were there before any armies. And after a few thousands of years a saurus can still beat you to a pulp. The frogs have possibly the best magic abilities and skinks are probably the most cost/effective skimershers in the game.
I won't even speak of the kroks and dinos.

Actually I used a friend's 500point list which might've been skyre, it had that weird warpflamethrower thing which upon my first use exploded and killed the users. But I had those snipers which won the match for me, hee. Plus, it helped that the lizardman opponent lost a good chunk of points to a very unlucky morale roll....

are skaven any good?

[Utah Jak]

I don't play WFB, but if I did, definitely skaven.

[happybean]

Exploding warpflamethrower, jezzails, self frying (technicaly not) mages, yes, skryre.
Skaven has a basis are evil, but they're armies are "fun" to play provided you're a masochist with a suspicious sense humour, like me...I enjoy a good spanking.
Kidding!
Playing skaven requires a certain finess, smooth talking, tactics and sneaky tricks, a lot of sneaky tricks, if you wan't to survive more than two turns.

True Skaven are difficult to play but that just makes them alot more fun.

Oh and if you want a pretty good overpowered army go with Lizardmen. Dinosaurs + Giant Frog Super Magic GOGOGO = All Glory to the Hypnotoad

[Psychichobo]

That's odd, I only know two fantasy players, and they have lizardman and Skaven...
Though the Skaven guy also has Dwarves and Tomb Kings...

The best thing, genestealer1414, is to think what you like about warhammer fantasy - playing style, fluff/appearance, etc. and decide from there. Shouldn't let other people pick armies for you, unless you're a beginner and need easing into the game.

Check some of the skavens anti-lizzie tactica on internet, lizzies are nigh impossible to beat using skavens when facing an experienced player. And yes, skavens are tricky to win with.
Most of the time half of your army blow it selfs up and the rest flee as a result.

You could also check out Empire and just spam Knights with a 1+ save and uber damage while advancing under the cover of great cannons and HBVs. Also, 'Look out Sir' is one of the cheesiest rules in the game.

Probably got to do with lizzie player getting fedup of a too stable army and wanting to change for a really fickle one and the other way round. Or they just want to make that Lustria rematch, haha.

[theevillemon]

[genestealer1414]
