Skaven Stormvermin Mod
Welcome to the Skaven Stormvermin Mod!
This mod offers a type of stormvermin utilizing greatswords. The Skaven Army Book 4th edition had several equipment options for stormvermin, including the capacity to employ two-handed weapons. I decided that greatswords would be the most likely choice, as swords were very common amongst Skaven troops. For balance reasons I had to create a category of greatsword that did not have the anti-infantry ability, as 160 stormvermin with anti-infantry weapons was simply much too powerful. The unit is still quite formidable in melee, but it does have some weaknesses. As these stormvermin do not possess shields, they are vulnerable to missile units. High-tier heavy cavalry can also defeat them by charging more than once, even from the front. Since they are Skaven, their morale is only 60, which makes the stormvermin easy to panic. Last of all, they are very expensive and take two turns to build, so they will always be outnumbered. The unit can be recruited by all the Skaven factions, is affected by the same technology as other stormvermin, has a custom unit card, and is not available as a garrison because the existing garrisons for various factions have been balanced alongside one another, and I do not wish to disrupt that. It’s statistics are also developed for the vanilla game. The unit is as follows:
Name: Stormvermin (Greatswords)
Building Requirements: Clan Armoury and Warp Forge
Cost: 1275
Support: 340
Time to Build: 2 Turns
Source: Skaven Army Book 4th edition
