The woes of starting a new army

Just started skaven and spent all of the money I had gotten from christmas on a pre painted skaven army (I know not very sporting to go buy a pre painted army without doing any the work yourself : / ) the army is pretty small in skaven terms all I really need are clanrats and slaves but its like, what 35 + shipping for a box of 20 rats? Ive been looking all over websites like Ebay and bartertown for some good deals for clanrats but its usally as high as GW or higher! And I'm so tempted to bust out the credit card and buy 3 boxes of clan rats some night runners and oh those plague monks are looking good to! Might as well grab 10 of those oh need some more clanrats and those rat swarms are looking kool too..... Any of yall facing the same problem as me : ?


^Warpfire^ (skaven) :globe: :rogre: :pmaster: wanted to add those :P

Nope. I already own a 6k Skaven horde :P

Why dont you just buy a Battalion or 2? Saves money from buying all the boxes seperately. And why do you have to ship them, is there not a hobby store near you?

Dont bother with Rat Swarms though. 7th ed. rules make them really bad...

yeah I thought about the battalion box but what do I do with the extra rat ogres? Well now you got me thinking! maybe I can sell one of the plague monks from the battalion boxes and and like 3 of the rat ogres and make a little profit hehehehehe...

oh and to answer sammy well my local hobby store use to do GW stuff but if I remember right GW was really taking advantage of them, but it didnt really matter cause alot of the players all moved on to college and took their armies with em. I want to build up another army to take with me to college. And I hope they have, a larger gaming group around there :P, oh theres still like 1 or 2 people who still play but yea kinda boring playing against the same armies so many times.

Well, seeming as you already have clanrats and slaves (but not enough) I think you should buy a bataillon. And then wait for the 7th edition clanrats to come out. This will give you time to paint your 70+ rats anyway.

Unit centrepieces. Takes up the room of 4 infantry models, and looks good.
