They give you a mob of AP anti-large that you can park on your arty/backline to defend vs enemy flankers. Halberds however are rarely a bad choice. They break too easily and plague monks will usually serve you better. In SP the sword and board variant is good vs factions like wood elves, who dont really have many tools to crack them efficiently, but otherwise theyre almost never useful. If you're using them in an SP army, you'll want a frontline of normal stormvermin and just keep a handful of halberds on the periphery to defend against cav/monsters(the halberds have lower defense, but theyre available sooner, so early on id field all halberds and replace them with sword+board as time/opportunity permits) Stat wise, stormvermin are basically just chaos warriors but more expensive, so they do ok vs cheap infantry too. This makes them an adequate staying tool while your arty does damage. Is Queek able to go up against any other melee lords? (Tyrion, Karl, Grimgor) Stormvermin are cheaper for some lords/have good buffs in SP, plus they have armor, shields and AI is really bad at using shock tactics/psychology to break your units. I always thought Stormvermin weren't nearly worth their price in either Empires or MP. Originally posted by robert.s_a:Okay, thats interesting to know. Plague monks are generally a safer pick than stormvermin for a frontline(not vs all factions, but vs most) and you'll want to make use of your artillery, magic and skirmishers to whittle away at enemies while using your infantry more as fodder than anything else. In MP theres a few different strats, but everything relies on combined arms. The key to skaven is to use food to quickly tech a capital up to tier 3-4, get access to good units and win from there. Tretch is the only lord who isnt exactly specialized, but in his army youre better off with stormvermin. You need to use spells and combined arms to win. All your units are viable, but most are pretty specialized, and most have some sort of glaring weakness. His liber bubonicus and rod of corruption provide massive AOE damage+single target damage, and he has the lore of plague to go with it.Īs for units, in campaign I would say its driven by your lord of choice, with skrolk youll want to churn out plague monks and catapults, with queek it's gonna be stormvermin and catapults/rat ogres. Best lord is kinda dependent on what you want them for, but generally skrolk is considered the most competitive.
