    Before I got enough Packmasters for summons, I used them to draw things away or chase down routing units. Skaven really have nothing else that can pursue effectively early on - even Runners suffer from infantry pursuit syndrome, and rarely actually *catch* anything so much as gently escort it - and I'd rather not have to break the same unit three times to shatter it when my own Ld is so poor. Got rid of the bought rat wolves as soon as I got the summons, though.

    Just a thought, but if or when you do the Greenskins unit roaster tier-list, would you be taking scrap upgrades into consideration? I know they are technically an outsider buff but I’d also argue that it’s as important to think about as recruit time or cost. For certain units it can make or break effectiveness but a lot, like how for instance normally Goblin archers are absolutely horrid compared to most archer units in the game or even their own faction, but if you add the armor piercing +400% they become immediately more effective against most greenskins prime enemies (dwarves). I understand if you don’t since it is a buff like a lord or a faction might provide, but just something to think about.

    Alternatively, the huge increase in ammo, especially on ranked gobbos improves your balance of power and also let's you achieve similar results by dumping more arrows into the enemy. Obviously, it depends on the circumstances, but imo the ammo boost is a nice choice and maybe more versatile.

    Really interested to see the ranking for GS units as well! Legend tends to lob all melee infantry into trash tier, but the GS might do a bit different. Goblin Fanatics can punch way above their paygrade with twirly-wirlys, and Nasty Skulkers have really good damage output for their low cost. Plus they stalk. Stone Trolls may be the best monstrous infantry in the game. Or maybe second to Minotaurs. Really good in any case.

    One of the problem with Dwarfs is that their units are all relatively expensive, but can be taken out by lower tier units with relative ease, due to the fact that especially ranged units perform way too well in this game. Everytime I see the damage basic goblin or orc archers do to a unit of Hammerers or Ironbreakers of mine, I can only shake my head and ask myself what the point of fielding high tier melee infantry is.

    Difficulty with that is the relevance in their own faction and the added utility of the campaign map. Plague Priest's are amazing casters who can easily win battles alone but they cant cheese the economy like HE wizards or cause major campaign map shenanigans. It ends up being like comparing a bin to a couch.

    there's a kinda niche use for rat ogres that I think Legend overlooked: they nock down city gates in seconds. I know there are far more effective ways for skaven to take sieges than gate-rushing, but if you want to do that, rat ogres are your friends; they'll nock out the gate in an instant, then surge through to make room for the follow-up.

    The follow-up being dying in a second, and if you're also using good monsters (like mutant rat ogres, broodhorrors and/or hellpit monsters) them all you need to do is to set your lords and heroes on one side and the monsters hidden on the forest, then rush the gates while the enemy army is across the map.

    nice to see some love to the globadiers. I feel like they're too often slept on but you can get them pretty early and their damage is incredible and even with tech buffs alone they're gonna be paying for themselves easily even later in the campaign. people complain about their firing ark but it doesn't take much to get their speed up pretty good and just basic flanking will make them even more death dealers especially against cav, Death Globs are second only to ratling guns when making cav charges stop in their tracks.

    I sometimes feel that the big problem with melee infantry is that they are too non threatening. Sure dealing damage isn't their primary purpose. But I feel that melee infantry should get some kind of ability to swarm single entities. Like maybe some kind of outnumbering bonus. Have a large monster count as many entities. But make it so that if you only take monsters they are going to get severely hampered. It's actually ridiculous that a lot of these monsters can wade into ranked infantry completely unsupported and come out unscathed.

    The interesting thing about Warp Lightning Cannon is that even when I put them in an army with Plagueclaw Catapults, they tend to get more kills overall against most armies, whether they're infantry heavy or mixed with Cav. Their piercing shots don't seem to do as much damage as the plague shots on impact, but over time they just rack up so many kills.

    Interesting. I agree with most of these, but I find myself disagreeing with Rat Ogres. I used to find them as trash, but they seem to rack up kills somehow and are not as expensive as mutant rat ogres, so I wouldn't put rat ogres that low. I'm honestly not a fan of Mutant Rat Ogres because Brood Horrors are just so much better for the cost.

Brood horrors doomstack, mutant rat ogres A tier, rat ogres C tier and I have no clue about Hell Pit abominations. I’ve probably forgotten a lot of the roster, like wolf rats, but who ever recruits them anyway? P.S. Sub-trash for stormvermin

    Man, I'm so grateful for the way you've compiled this video. I don't just mean the graphics but all the real to game information that you're throwing out there. I have way too many hours to still be rubbish at this game and a lot of it comes down to laziness. When you talk about how you should play the skaven though, I think I might actually put in the effort. With that, you won't be surprised to know that i had been stacking their armies kinda "traditionally", as in I've been using the infantry.. Id usually have 6 units and then I would also of course have some of the catapults, some rattlign guns but I have recently fallen in love with the purple bombardiers. They do the sickest amount of damage. I just bought the DLC to get those brood horrors too. will. The best part of all of this though was the tier surprises. I'll definitely be rebuilding an army with this in mind. TY man ;)
