My 'Tail of 4 armies' idea is to make 4 clan specific 1K pt armies that can be fielded independantly or combined to make a larger army of 4K+.
I am building the clan Eshin army which cn be found here:
http://underempire.net/index.php?showtopic=24715

The other planned armies are:
Pestillens:
General Plague priest Liber Bubonicus & bitting blade (120) +
BDB with Banner of burning hatred (95) lead
Unit 1 30 Plague monks with extra hand weapons and full command & Umbranner (300)
Unit 1a attached 10 Plague censer bearers (170)
Festering Chantor with extra hand weapon and Skavenbrew (114) leads
Unit 2 20 Stormvermin with shields & full command (205)


Maulder:
General is a Master Moulder with whip & light armour (73)
Other character is a Harbinger of mutation with whip (71)
Unit 1 5 packs of giant rats (150)
Unit 2 5 packs of giant rats (150)
Unit 3 pack of 5 Rat ogres (200)
Unit 4 4 rat swarms (180)
Unit 5 Skaven slaves with spear and shield 30 (124) incl. musician
50pts of magic between the two characters or cockatrice mount for master?


Skryre:
Unit 1 Warlock engineer with warp-blades and condenser +Storm deamon leads a unit of 25 clan rat with an attached ratling gun (280) Skryre colours.
Unit 2 Warlock engineer with warp-blades and condenser leads a unit of 20 clan rat with an attached ratling gun (230) Eshin colours.
Unit 3 As unit 1 but no storm deamon & with warpfire thrower instead of ratling gun (270) Moulder colours.

Globadiers (unfortunately can’t afford many and I liked the armies symmetry so)
3 units of 2 effectively attached to each clan rat unit (60)
3 Warplock Jezzail (again a minimally sized ineffective unit due to points restrictions) 60

Warp lightning canon (100) or
1 Augmented Rat ogre with warpfire thrower attached to clan rat unit 1 (100)
House rule: a pack master for the augmented rat ogre seemed very out of place so I equipped a clan rat with a 40K communications pack and hid him in the associated clans unit. Instead of the rat ogre going stupid if its pack master is killed it would instead do so if its pack master’s unit is fleeing, panicked etc. further the master was equipped as a clan rat (light armour, shield and hand weapon and did not have a whip or pack master abilities). Further the Augmented rat ogre must set up within 6” of his controller’s unit.

The 95+2 figure count for this army was not good as I find it difficult to paint 5 figs a week it would take 20 weeks, but it is very unlikely I would be able to keep up with this and also wanted to paint up extra clan rats incl. command in case I chose to field these in the 4K army, as well as at least 2 further Jezzail & a couple of extra augmented rat ogres.


OK The Skryre army reeks of cheese so I won't probably field it by itself to dillute the SAD factor but otherwise any comments?
Currently joint first in PRS points, may as well blow my trumpet whilst I've got one.
