>>944204301: if you out dice on low heat on a skillet for 10 seconds, you change how they roll. This may be used to your advantage.2: You can't lose pieces if you eat when your opponent isn't looking.3: Bribery is only illegal if your offer is bad.4: If you make your own measuring tape, you can decide how long an inch actually is. This also works with your girlfriend, should you ever get one.
>>94420430Pick the models you think are cool, name your dudes, and always give your opponent the benefit of the doubt.Most importantly, ask why these two armies are duking it out, establishing a little bit of narrative can often make light of bad rolls making the game more fun.
>>94420430Get up on the table and take a fat dump all over it.
>>94420430Never played as or against skaven, but as a general rule look for units with a high damage and AP stat. Three damage can do three wounds to one guy in one attack OR one wound to three guys, so its pretty much king. Heroes are cheap and strong this edition, but not usually in combat. Make sure to double check any aura abilities because the difference between "within'' and "wholely within" can lose you games. On the topic of infantry heroes you can only snipe them out of units within a certain range (12?) So artillery is good but only within a certain value. Tactically going second is often ideal because you can double-turn your enemy. A lot of abilities only work on your turn, so getting to wipe a unit before its defences or regeneration kick in is big. If you go first try not to overextend too much.Every wizard and priest knows every spell now so even a cheap one has good stuff to do every turn summoning and dispelling manifestations. You're a horde faction, but hordes of infantry usually dont move well or hit very hard because of unit coherency. Dont rely on basic rats, use them to screen since your power units are probably pretty fragile. Use all out attack every turn if you canRemember that objectives are sticky, if one clan rat touches a marker it can win you the game
