Static CR of 8; Am I counting this right?

Say you have a unit of stormvermin with 5+ ranks.

Lets count the maximum possible CR:

+3 for ranks (assuming you avoid getting flanked)
+1 for outnumber
+1 for unit standard
+1 for war banner unit standard
+1 for BSB (hiding in the back, of course :)
+1 for magic BSB (the one that gives +1 for the 4th rank or for outnumber)

That is 8. Wow. Did everyone realize that but me? lol

I'm afraid Aeschere's got you there, it's quite well known among skaven communities, and players of the tournament scene. But it doesn't stop it from being unbelieveably potent and awesome.

Just don't get flanked! ;)

So then is it the one tactic you pretty much see in every skaven army then?

Better used with stormvermin or plague monks?

In my experience, from where I come, it's a yes and no response on this one... The problem with this is that such units take up a vast amount of points (compared to our other rank-and-file units), which means that it has the one main disadvantage of attracting a fair bit of missile fire from the opposition. This has led to the unit being something of a love/ hate thing, as some people have it work magic for them, while others simply get shot to bits everytime they field it.

Me? I'm a definite fan of this approach...

Stormvermin, all the way... While Plague Monks might be somewhat nastier when it comes to the offense (especially when charging in with a bonus such as this), the stormvermin have more staying power due to WS4 and a possible 3+ armour save in combat and thus can actually survive several rounds of combat, thus making better use of this bonus.
