Rats, Rats, we are the rats.

Anyways, they rush the White Spikes queen, a good 20-30 of them die to the Queen, another 20 die to the backstabbing of Skaven Society, and the Queen dies from getting repeatedly stabbed by weapons with a little over 6x AP advantage over her and being unable to kill that many before she goes down.

Counted!
 
Voting for 180 Skavenslaves.

They mostly win through swarm tactics, but the white spike tears through a bunch before she goes down.

The thing about the Skaven is that there's never just 10, 20, or even 30. There's always a hundred rats to win through sheer numbers. Outnumbering 4 to 1 is considered bad odds for them.
 
Wow, thanks for telling me my round started.

I'll make my arguments anyways even though no one is gonna give a shit. The White Spike Queen isn't gonna just rush into a massive swarm of enemies without any Males at her beck and call to counter swarm them, she's gonna stay at range and try to use her environment to her advantage like climbing up trees and buildings to take pot shots at them or fly through the air to get from place to place so she doesn't get jumped. She was able to counter strategize against two people who knew everything about her and had prep time to set up a trap for her in a snowstorm by disappearing despite getting lit up with sniper fire and then reverse jumping them through the snow.

Ah, so the classic Skaven burrow tactics counter then
 
They just dig into the ground and hide? Are they gonna be able to pull that off against something that will be above them the whole time shooting them with one-shot spikes?
Skaven can dig stupid fast. Damn things dig fast enough that you can literally spawn groups of Skavenslaves in the total war games.

Okay, but will that even matter since the Female will know they're there after literally watching them dig into the ground while shooting at them?

Will the queen who is trying to win, and is still a ******* animal in intelligence not jump down and start digging?

Of course she would if they just stay there like that, but she's definitely not stupid so she'd play it safe since again, there's almost two hundred of them.

And they all just went into the same hole. Any wrong move is an instant loss, and Skaven are clever bastards.
 
I don't want to sound salty when I say this but how was a massive group of nearly 200 opponents allowed in a tournament setting? That feels really unfair to everyone else, regardless of if their physicals suck.

Well, first of all, creature tournament. I expected large sized ******* who can kill like 20 in a single swing, not a smaller beastie that can only kill a few at a time.

I think the more large creatures would have a better chance (Like the Giant Praying Mantis, Elephant, Konga, and even Tyrannosaurus Rex could kill atleast 10 simply ramming into them and their main points of attack would do even better against individual Skavenslaves.)
 
I honestly don't know why I even bothered making an argument for a 1v180 in the first place.... Individually they get slaughtered by the White Spike but she can't win against 180 of them if they just hide in the ground where she can't hit them and they can't kill her if she just stays on a building or tree taking pot shots at them.

Can I ask something? Are the Skaven willing to throw their spears/knives at their enemies?

Because if so that’s the equivalent to one-shot/nigh one-shot Danmaku which almost no one here in this tournament is surviving

And allow the rat behind them to get a free backstab without fear of legit retaliation?! The Horned Rat would have you flayed alive for that insult!

So I think that’s a no…
Skaven are cowardly, malicious, and...

They are literally an entire race of Starscreams. Except literally nobody is above getting abused or betrayed. It's a no.

I see I see, well at least there’s no Danmaku involved.

Plus I can’t wait when these guys have to face the Tournament’s Stone Wall aka the Snow Golem
