Re: Anyone fancy a Skaven vs Tomb Kings duel?
First off, I really appreciate the feedback. I will consider all of it carefully.
1. Grey Seers were initially balanced against MA Ermor's Grand Thaumaturgs. They have a few advantages over GTs (no old age, stealth, better leaders, fortune tellers) and one or two disadvtanges (no reanimation, worse sacreds). They aren't especially awesome (like say MA Pythiums Grand Theurgs), but I don't think they're underpowered.
2. First, poison res 35 -> 50 would make basically no difference. Poison res below 100 doesn't work properly vs poison clouds - check Ctis and their slingers or set a unit to 95% poison res and see for yourself. It helps, but they still get killed/afflicted. If you were talking about the old plague censers, before I was able to use secondaryeffectalways, I would agree with you - those guys were kind of a liability. But these new censers are very cheap considering their offensive power and they don't even hit your own guys with poison that much. Besides which, you should be using them with chaff where you hardly care about losing it anyway. With Nature/Water bless they are pretty crazy. Finally, you can always cast a vastly improved national poison ward in the form of Nurglitch's favour.
3. The Plague Priest is expensive for a H2 priest, but he is a steal as an all around buy. He summons troops, is a priest, is thuggable, a good leader and has pretty good magic. If Skaven could use sermon of courage to fix all their morale problems, they wouldn't be very skaveny, would they? But I'll consider a change to the plague priests perhaps.
