Total 2000

So what do you think to the above?

11 Power Dice, 148 Rats, 7 Dispel (MR2 on furnace), 9 Deployments

So how would you change it or what do you like? Do i drop Slaves to give Plague Censers? 1 unit of slaves will give 3 censers...

looks good to me.

A scroll or two wouldn't be a bad addition, I would drop the Plague Censer Bearers down to units of 6 and since you have no shooting I would consider adding the storm banner to one of the units of monks.

I think you need more units to block for the monks, but I don't think anyone will be expecting to counter 3 blocks of frenzy troops :P

So don't drop slaves -.-

If you're going fluffy consider a plague catapult or two

otherwise yea stormbanner would be nice so you can survive some shooting.

what he said, also the plagueclaw catapult looks pretty cool, itll give you a hand to break up ranks before you get into combat. but definately reduce the pcb unit size ten is too much, if you have the storm banner you wont have to worry about people shooting at your pcbs, and if you have some dispel scrolls you wont have to worry about magic being cast at them. pcbs will prlly do the most for you they are utterly disgusting.

this is a very easy army to divert, that would be my worry. I know it is pestilens themed but there is nothing to stop a decent general sending your units in different directions and ruining your battle line. But themed armies have weaknesses so I salute you for going fluffy. Those censer bearers are going to cause havoc to the high elves!

Well with my opponent having the following, and with tornement in mind here is what i faced

Teclis
LVL2
LVL2
LVL2

20 spears
20 spears
12 phonix guard
4 bolt throwers

I was worried to be fair, i had no shooting and was largely out classed in the magic phase that and with the strike first rule, I felt up against it

Turn 1

this was largly in effective with my storm banner stopping all shooting and a combination of MR" on the furnace and my dispel dice I took no losses, while all i did was march toward my high elf foe

Turn 2

The storm banner run out, I survived the magic phase seeing 2 miss cast's I lost 1 plague censer bearer, the furnace took 4 wounds from shooting.

I managed to scare a little with my magic seeing no chances taken when skrolk cast plage only for teclis to steal the spell on a roll of 4

Turn 3 i re activated the banner, again efforts were focused on the furnace and plague censers, I lost a further 2 censers and the furnace took another wound. next turn I would be charging. again wither caused a scare and was short on plague otherwise the dice was in the favor of the dispel

Turn 4 The high elves choose not to charge, with the banner still in play. Magic was a success killing a unit of censer bearers and bringing a flanking unit to 3 censer's, in the shooting I lost the furnace. I choose to charge with every thing I could knowing i needed numbers ranks and every wound i could. I poored skrolk and his unit into a unit of spears while a priest and his unit accompanied by slaves in the front and the 3 censers in the side hit the other spears. in the center a lone unit of slaves hit the phonix guard. In my magic phase vermin tide worked its magic, and i withers the spears with skrolk. the plague priest and company took minimal casultys, the T4 saving alot. My nunits running through hitting teclis behind, Skrolk and his boys altho not as effectivly repeated the same process and hit bolt throwers. leaving the slaves who killed more when the broke from combat.

Turn 5 with 2 bolt throwers down or engaged a lone unit of phonix guard not able to charge and teclis in combat, the game was called due to time restrictions.


On reflection the plague furnace is a huge magnet for fire giving my other units free run, knowing i faced 4 bolt throwers gives me hope against less shooty armies. the magic was a scare altho produced very little but that due to the nature of the army i faced, I was happy i delbt with his magic as well i did. and finally the censer bearers are beasts 3 on the flank killed 7 elves.

That is one cheesy high elf list. I can't believe people field armies like that! I would never fight anyone again who put that army on the same table as me. Pathetic.

Yeah that High Elf list is extreme in magic and shooting but clearly should die-die once CC is reached: 2 units of spears and 12 phoenix guard must get completely flanked to death! I would not mind facing them at all!

PS. Some gutter runners or night runners with warpgrinder should help silence the shooting...

In defence on paper the elf list looked cheesy, but it posed no problem to my rats at all. The elf had maximised magic and shooting, I had stopped shooting with an item and magic with my 4 wizards so it was down to a fight.

also bear in mind we are perpairing for a tornement. the guy playing the elves is not a hard core player, we are talking about some one who's dragon is pink and called puff the magic dragon. :D
