====Enchanted Items====

*Skavenbrew: a highly amusing item of much debate. On a roll of a 1, somebody spiked the punch bowl and a bunch of rats fall down dead. 2-3 gives Hatred to everything because Skaven are mean drunks. 4-5 gives Frenzy because they’re really mean drunks. 6 means they reach an Angry Marines level of rage, getting +2 frenzy instead of +1, but since they aren't Astartes every movement phase D6 of the little blighters have heart attacks. Skavenbrew... it's a good thing.

*Skalm: regenerates all lost wounds (unless you’re dead). Its usefulness depends on who you are facing.

*Pipes of Piebald: force charging unit to perform Ld test or fail charge. Kind of counterproductive in an army of tarpits... but still useful on Plague Monks. It can be useful on jezzails as it can allow you to get another round of stand and shoot/shooting off. Alternative take: grab this beauty and stuck it in any hammer unit against low ld/high movement armies. It's priceless.

*Portents of Verminous Doom: -1Ld isn't all that useful but there are tactical applications for it, main one that comes to mind is Beastmen's primal fury. Less than situational but again, I'm no tactical genius. (actually, since it stacks with the banner, you can use it to basically create a LD trap on anyone dumb enough to come for you, as they will have to test at -2 LD, and reroll it if they pass it!)
