I think you have point there,It is more organize if you have one site for a one topic.It is more interesting to read if the subject is just focus in one area which the story goes.

My copy arrived today. Haven’t played it since beta. How is stability and how is the guild coming along? Maybe an update report?

Totally for skaven. Current selection of races is so bland: humans, greenskins, dwarfs, elves. So original!
Skaven vs Lizards go go go! I’m sure they can work out the lore. War is everywhere, now isn’t it?

Captain Kroxy: What is it Lt. Sebastian?
Lt. Sebastian: It’s just the skaven, Sir. They’re here.
Captain Kroxy: My God man! Do they want tea?

P.s. What’s worse than dying in WAR? Dying close to an engineer’s bloody turret. My ears!

Lizardmen make a better match. As mentioned before, this is where the real hatred lies. Not because the ratmen hate lizardmen. But because the skinks hate scaven.

The saurus, not so much, but the skinks are gung-ho anytime killing skaven is involved, and their little semi-cult, semi-old one god Sotek is all for it. In fact, he’s the bugger that kicked Pestilens back out of Lustria in the first place. Though, Kroxigor would be a bit beyond the scope of War. I was thinking Saurus Warrior, Temple Guard, then Skink Chameleon, and Skink Shamen (or perhaps priest of Sotek, it doesn’t matter much). DPS, Tank, Ranged, and then pets. Considering Sotek is all about snakes, you really could release a horde of snakes, or call in a mighty Kroxigor to smash things, or perhaps a Stegadon.

In any case. Those are my thoughts.

Fraser’s made the case best, but another reason that Lizardmen are an ideal Order opponent for Skaven is that within the lore the Lizardmen are the most ancient opponent of Chaos. Sure, they’re a shadow of their former glory like everyone else, but the comatose demigods that rule them have a pretty strong incentive to come to the Empire’s aid. Sure, it’s hard to imagine the forces of Order trusting them, but this is a war that has brought High Elves and Dwarfs to the same side.

Why can’t the Clan Molder Packmaster be the “Pet” and the player can be a Rat Ogre tank? I mean that way it would fit fine with lore, the packmaster could just trail along behind cracking his whip intermittently and you could have a little pet bar with his limited abilities on it (probably mostly buffs for the Rat Ogre but also snares too)

It doesn’t really fit with lore to have them paired with anyone but all Mythic has to do is tie it into the overaching conspiracy with Malekith. Throw some ancient item or place of power down in Lustria that the Slaan control. The scaven in Lustria are being influenced by the Dark Elves to distract/destroy the Lizardmen while a force of the Dark Elves slip in to control the item.

Meanwhile the High Elves catch wind of the plan, notify their allies and send what small forces they can spare to support the Lizardmen in their time of need.

And that was from about 5 mins of thinking. I’m sure the brains at Mythic can put together something more convincing.

I’m willing to put my backing behind the Skaven, but only if they’re paired with Wood Elves and Waywatchers.

How can you say ‘no more elves’ when they’ve included the slightly naff elves but missed out the coolest ones?

Wardancers and Waywatchers are clearly better than anything the high or dark elves can bring to the table.

There’s more than enough other races to add in expansions without having the “Chaos” race == the “Tzeentch” race. That was my disappointment – they label the race as all of Chaos, but it’s really just one subfaction.

Of course, they needn’t necessarily *only* add new races with expansions. They could conceivably toss in a couple of additional classes for the existing ones. Get us a representative or two of Nurgle and Khorne. They might not want to go the alien boob route, so Slaanesh is more dubious.

The annoying thing about this thread is, because I receive notifications of updates in my Gmail account, I’m getting spammed with adverts for rat traps and poisons. *sigh*
