Well, im back after my long break from Warhammer (darn Millitary stuff). Now, my friends told me about the Bubonic Court list, and since i love Clan Pestilens this is a given army for me to collect.. now, i got a few questions about the whole thing. 1: Is Plague Monks mainstay unit or just 1+? 2: Does Mad Rat ogres suffer from Stupidity? well, alot fewer questions then i frist thought. Sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldent get the Search function to work Posting a Trial list later tonight or maybe tomorrow. Cheers Rangeltoft

Not while they are frenzied, as that means they dont suffer from any other psychology... But I guess if Nurglitch is dead and they flee and rally, then they might become stupid...
I dont know... I always use more units of Monks then I do of any other units anyways, so it has never occured to me to check... I have only played with the list twice though... Entaro Adun |

Thx for the replay. The thing about the Rat Ogres is that the Loss of packmaster rule aint there anymore, and its that rule that makes them suffer from stupidity, so im unsure about this one How did you like this army list when you tried it out Sammy? |

I cant really say how much I liked it because both games were riddled with problems... the list its self looks fun and interesting, and I just love plague monks! But in my first game, on turn 1, my Pontifex miscast and lost all magical abilities for the game, and against a slann this resulted in alot of very dead rats (draw) Second game wasnt so much of a game... I died by turn 4 (though it was only 1k...) as my army was hopelessly outmaneuvred by beastmen... I want to try them again, since I have almost a full army ready, but dont know when this will be... I think the list is pretty good, if somewhat limiting, but I just havent had any luck with it yet... Entaro Adun |

It's a great list to play. Fab to play and your opponent will like to fact that it isn't sad - until you cast plague more times than you thought possible!!! The list doesn't say that the monks are mainstay and I believe that they are only 1+ (ignoring army builder which thinks they are mainstay - and is wrong again). I've played loads of games with the list and love the Big N, but am now starting to experiment with lists without him - hmmm pontifex with cauldron. If you are interested I believe the old lists are in the pestilens (or army list) areas. cheers Br. Buboe |

No, but you can have a Pontifex! With level 3, they have 2 of the best spells in the skaven list, and Pestilent Breath. Ive NEVER had that kill anything, since now I dont bother casting it anymore... Ive got like 65 Monks, 25 of them being converted out of Clanrats (initially Rotten Rodents) but they still look awesome! Your girlfriend plays too? you lucky man... Entaro Adun |

you killed 80% of her army and still lost?!? that must have been a fun game! Was your army obliterated or something? I take it she was playing empire? you reckon you'd have time to write up a quick battle report? seems like an inetresting battle... Entaro Adun |

hehe, yea, the fight was bloody but then again, almost every of our fights is.. Played for 10 turns instead of the Normal 6 since we think thats abit to little:P I have decided to drop the Bubonic Court, my love for Plague Monks is still there, but i think i can get more out of playing acording to the "normal" list.. not that i want ratling guns or so.. , well dont use Skyre that much, dont like em.. Might get around to post my normal Skaven list and Fluff tonight, depends on if my girlfriend is coming over for a few games or not Have a good one |
