What exactly is so good about Festoring Chantors-- and what can they be used for in a battle?

There is only one good thing about them. They are the only wizard allowed in a >2000 point Pestilens army. The pestilent breath spell is, frankly, the worst spell in the Skaven magic list, and the Chantor is a level 1 wizard who can't be upgraded, so without warpstone he won't cast it often.
"I have a post-Armageddon vision. We and all other large animals are gone. Rodents emerge as the ultimate post-human scavengers. They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

the name is so goofy i can't bring myself to use one.
maybe in the 'rise of sotek' they will change him like they did the eshin sorceror.

yeah pestilent breath is only good if used in the perfect situation. Once I cast it when my grey seer was alone along the flank of a unit of 10 silverhelms (how often does that happen?) and he cast it and killed 4. Pretty damn good to kill 4 cavalry with 2+ saves, but again, only because he was positioned perfectly. Its generally not too good, althou against brets it might be worthwhile

I would second that hope of an upgrade to the pestlilence caster for the next campaign... I would hope for a whole clan upgrade...

Although... if it is going to be like the War of the Beard campaign, then you don't get a new list :blink: I'm confused...

Well, the ROS compaign is going to be and ACTUAL campaign, not like the WOTB. I know that new characters will be re-released(QUEEK) and we are getting new models, i doubt that they would do this for just a white dwarf article.

Convinced back again :D

No,
okay... got a bit scared. But then we might (finally) get a total revamp... hopefully no Nurgle units like in a rip-off of Cult of Pleasure.

If games workshop tries to pull CoP crap on us by letting us take nurgle units, i simply either will not play in the campaign, or just use the pestilence appendix army.

The funnything about the festering chanter is that he has frenzy, a 8" spell, and a 10 charge move. he can only ever get one breath off before he charges, and then he'll probably die. :o
