theyd probably stick in no plague monks, but a unit of gutter runners and a unit of jezzails. And a second clanrat unit.

Theyd mainly put plastics in I reckon. they did put out a special edition 300dollar boxed set when they were released, but I havent seen that around since...

they do that for all armies. i believe it came with jezzails, a WLC, 2 clanrats/slaves regiments, a unit of stormvermin, a ratling gun, a bsb, and some rat swarms. maybe some PWGs but i forget.

I think the main reason why they haven't done a skaven battalion is cuz it's too expensive. Most battalions have maybe 2 boxs, a warmarchine 1-2 heros and a few blisters. Skaven would almost need twice that much stuff, I just think the profits arn't up to GW standards for a skaven battalion (curse you and your one globadier blisters!!)

I'd agree with gorod, but I still think it's unfair. All these rats are expensive, especially if you want to diversify, like plague monks! They'd better get those plastics....

Yeah,

Im a big GW fan, spend lots of $$ on their products and I have never seen a 80-100$ box set contain anything but plastic modles,

I know that if you go with the special edition 225$ box sets you can get about 1/3-1/2 the army in metal (Example: Beastman army deal, 2beast squads plastic, centigors metal, trolls metal, ogres metal, shammy metal, beastlord metal and wargor standard)

But where box sets like Ork, Empire, TombKind and Bret's are made of totally plastic modles,

Same for 40k,

40k occasionally gives you metals, but very VERY rarely and in small amounts (tau sheild drones etc).

I would like to see the plastick plague monks in there too. If we get a batalion/large box set. we should see it around the spring. when Skaven will be being focused on.

I've heard that GW is making battalions for all armies. Which also would mean more plastics. I'd think that we'll get plastic giant rats sometime too.
