Skaven Muskets: Handguns with the Skaven "reliable" rule

Confederat pistols: pistols with the Skaven "reliable" rule

Confederat revolver: Confederat pistol with 3 shots

Confederat shotgun: Confederat pistol with str 5

Special rules

Rebel squeek:Whenever a unit of Confederats charge they let out a Rebel Squeek that drives them on and makes them more ferocious.+1 initiative for the duration of a combat where they have charged)

I'm thinking of using the jezzail models(Just the gunner models,not the shield rat)for these guys and adding bayonets to them. I would also mix in some other models converted to look like they're marching to add some more diversity.

What do you guys think?

Well... at toughness 4... they better be more than 6 points.

oh scratch that I didn't see that the numbers didn't match up to the stats.. uh.. yeah.. looks good.

That's odd...While making the post everything lined up fine but when posted it seems to have shifted

Changed it so it's easier to read.

How about the musket thing in the hands, sorry paw, of a scout? Isn't that seemingly much for 6 pts? Curious, does the Empire have handgun scouts?

Just out of curiosity...will the +1 I last more then the turn they charge? If not, then doesn't seem to do much for them, if they do, then it's great (unless this is a variant for 40K, in which case, disregard). The unit looks interesting.

Alright I changed it up a bit.

What's the skaven reliable rule ?

you can relie on it to blow up on your face after a couple of shots

oh.. should've known !!!

If you roll two 1's in a row, the gun blows up. On the first one it does not fire...if you roll a 1, you need to roll another immediately after for something bad to happen to you.

So, basically what Luis said!

Oh! Luis is the master of rolling lots of 1's, right Luis??

The upgrade to the bushwackers is a little low on this...giving a model 3 shots instead of one and making them skirmished for just 2 points seems a bit low. Then again, at 8" you'd have to get very close...at least you didn't give them scout. Best thing to do is try it out...I'm always game for something new and fun...

3 shots??!! They replace their musket w/ a pistol, not a revolver.
