I field 19 + Priest, and it works fine. But I'm working to 24.

I've NEVER fielded more than 20...Then again, I've never played a game with my Skaven that's more than 2000 pts.

I'd probably go for 30 in 4k.


I also HAVE to pay for the Censer Bearers... remember? Can't forget them.
When you think everything is going your way- some little snot-nosed brat gets in the way and ruins your day. This little punk does something so simple that completely destroys any chance of you having a good year. This SoB didn't even know that their actions would have such an abysmal impact upon your life. Geez, some people are so insensitive.

Now I have to get my car repaired.

I field 23+ PP along with 6 PCB's, they can work together or apart. Cuz 6PCB's can take on just about anything unless it's unbreakable/stubborn and the CB's are garuanteed a charge :P

PCB's HAVE to break the unit on the turn they charge otherwise they lose their hatred and str 5, but I guess everyone knows that already...

Actually, the loss of strength is one of the things I often forget about flails/censers, but it doesn't really matter, 'cos I always break things on the turn I charge :lol:

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!

I won an eBay auction for 16 old-style plague monks! Not that I actually LIKE the models, but it definitely helps me out! Although the plague deacon (monk w/scroll) models are quite neat. I plan on replacing their stupid walking sticks (these guys must have bad legs)... with daggers-blades-etc.

Then I plan on using Goblin Fanataics and converting some really kick-a$$ conversions for Plague Censer Bearers (notice the $ signs in place of the S's... it going to cost me an arm and a leg)

Strange...not too long ago I was bidding against someone for a unit of 16 old-style plague monks and it went too high for me. That was last month though.

I have been fielding them in a unit of 25, and they are absolutly brilliant! Though sadly Ive had to drop the plague priest to make way for an assassin...

I always fight with 24 PMs with 2 hand weapons, a plague priest with censer, a handful of PCB, and the Banner of Burning Hatred. They'll carve straight through anything that can be pitted against them. I never fight without them.

I like a unit of 23 with a plague priest and the banner of burning hatred deplyed 6 wide and 4 deep. I used to take 25 5X5 but one more in the front rank means 3 more attacks. They never fail to impress me.

they've failed to impress me a few times...like when the unit was depleted to 18 and charged a 30-something unit of skelies head on, did horrible in combat, and fled off the table...that hurt
Not to mention that most the the skeli unit was magic created as well.

I'm holding out for the plastic Plague Monks. Hopefully they'll redo the Censer bearers too.
