	*Lightning Cannon: Lacks the penetration of other cannons and has a shorter range (again only 48"), but has a standard strength of 7 and is accurate. If your opponent has a dragon or other flying beasty (any large model actually) this thing will just delete them.		*Lightning Cannon: Lacks the penetration of other cannons and has a shorter range (again only 48"), but has a standard strength of 7 and is accurate.

	'''Dreadmill''' A great combat unit and will no longer zap your own units. You can now choose who gets zapped by your ~~doomwheel~~. The shots are str 5, AP 10, lightning attacks, and multiple wounds (d3). This wheel is scary, but watch out for it getting tarpitted.

	===Characters===		===Characters===
	'''Vermin Daemon''' A true beast. 8s in Def/Off skill, 6s in HP, Res, Str, 5 Attacks, and not to mention 9 agility and 10 (10!!!!) AP. They have a built in 5+/5++ (4++ vs magic attacks). On top of this, it is supernal, fearless, and a wizard master in Divination that has +3" range and knows 5 spells. What a beast, I thought this was the wee rat trash army. Well he has his downsides, first of all he costs ~~820~~ points, second he can't hide in any units and will have to be out on his own without cover. So he is scary, but pays for that by being vulnerable to shooting.		'''Vermin Daemon''' A true beast. 8s in Def/Off skill, 6s in HP, Res, Str, 5 Attacks, and not to mention 9 agility and 10 (10!!!!) AP. They have a built-in 5+/5++ (4++ vs magic attacks). On top of this, it is supernal, fearless, and a wizard master in Divination that has +3" range and knows 5 spells.

Well, he has his downsides, first of all, he costs 850 points, second, he can't hide in any units and will have to be out on his own without cover. So he is scary but pays for that by being vulnerable to shooting.

	'''Tyrant''' Essentially a rat EoS marshal that's a bit faster. Really the only reason to take him is for that 7 discipline to pump to 10 with safety in numbers. He does have a decent number of attacks, kit him out to chunk R&F troops, don't trip about duels or anything, he can avoid them with no penalty and by the end of it you'll still (hopefully) have ablative wounds around your tyrant.

	'''Chief''' A decent character for his price. You will be taking one as BSB, which is required in this army unless you took the Daemon. You can upgrade him to be very fast for a small chunk of points.		'''Chief''' A decent character for his price.

	'''Magister''' Seems a bit expensive until you notice he's an adept by default. If you're brave take the dark shards on a wizard master and see how many Wrath of God tokens you can have on the table at once. He can of course ride the DOOM BELL (see entry) which is great.

	'''Rakachit Machinist''' This guy is your combat monster. This mainly comes from his mechanical limbs, which allows him to throw dice everywhere (1d6 shots ranged, 2d6 hits in melee). You can take a shooting weapon on him, which you should. The Gas Globes depend on the army you're fighting, but watch out for the short range. The ratlock pistol is the best all around choice, 2 shots and paired weapons in melee. The Jezail is up to you, he has better to-hit than the unit, but watch out for him hitting himself with it occasionally.		'''Rakachit Machinist''' This guy is your combat monster.

	'''Sicarra Assassin''' One scary boy. No armor but Aegis 4+, 5 attacks in melee with poisoned attacks and multiple wounds (d3 vs characters). They are expensive, but one of these in the right place can discourage your enemy from even coming near. The multiple wounds also apply to his ranged weapons, so feel free to pick on a monster mounted character.		'''Sicarra Assassin''' One scary boy.

	Vermin Swarm tends to have more randomness than other armies, but what you are risking tends to be things you can easily afford to lose anyways and the chance of good things are generally good. That's what we pay for having the best shooting.		==Why Play Vermin Swarm==
			Vermin Swarm tends to have more about large number and randomness than other armies, but what you are risking tends to be things you can easily afford to lose anyways and the chance of good things are generally good. That's what we pay for having the best shooting, and cheap numbers.

	===Army Rules===		==Army Rules==
	'''Safety in Numbers''' Units comprised entirely of units with this rule add their full ranks after the first to their discipline score but with a maximum bonus of +3 and a hard cap of 10. This does not modify the discipline distributed by commanding presence but units that receive a discipline boost from commanding presence can modify it with their own ranks. This is what gives your units any staying power, be sure your blocks are bricked up and deep.
