So why bother to recruit and pay upkeep for a meatshield, when you can easily get if for free? The whole melee unit roster of scaven is pointless by that concept, censer bearers either - their 0 armor practically making them tier 5 flagellants with cool green glowing thingies, 2 turns recruitment and with upkeep like said stormvermins.īecause they should not be looked at as a meatshield, they allowing the running of more specialized infantry due to their high armor(can tank a fight fight better and provide you time).
Originally posted by клоун снаружи:Stormvermin's upkeep is absurd, but they are armoured, so in massive numbers (like the Vermintide armies) they can actually tie alot of things, but here's 2 points : 1 - their upkeep is ridiculously high so you usually cannot afford more than 2 halberd units, and 2 - most of the time you are using the Menace Below and Vermintide spell of Plague school for summoning an emergency cannon fodder to making room for your artillery and weapon teams - its basicaly free and doesnt require a unit slots in your army.
