12 rats, 2 pm

plague monks x 24

6 x pcb
6 x pcb
8 jezzails

HPA spikes


So this list is supposed to compete in all game phases which is how I like my armies. I am not a fan of big cumbersome units so I am trying out a list that doesn't include the bell (which I don't rate anyway) nor the furnace (which I do like!).

The combat power comes from the warlord, priest, monks, pcb, and HPA. I think the magic is strong and the jezzails and wfts give me some shooting. Flankers are the giant rats, HPA, PCBs.

Please rate this list, I know everyone and his dog is posting a list but I would appreciate some feedback!

Cheers....

You have plenty of magic, however the list lacks a solid core of combat units. I would strongly recommend including a third clanrat regiment and boosting the clanrats and monks to 30 strong.

I'm not sure how solid clanrats are in combat. I have two units of clanrats, a unit of plague monks and 4 units of slaves. Isn't that enough infantry? Not sure why I need to increase them to 30 strong. Can you explain this?

My combat units are the hard hitters: the HPA, PCBs and the clanrat unit with the warlord in.

Because you want to have 3 ranks as long time as possible. 20 Clanrats are just too few...

you are right, 20 is too small, but i think 30 is also a bit on the big side, unless you are facing a lot of shooting. I tihnk 25 is just right, and I find having multiple units rather than fewer very large units suits my playstyle.

I have now updated the list below:

Warlord
heavy armour
warlockweapon
ench shield
foul pendant
bonebreaker rat ogre


Plague monk
2nd level
flail


Warlock Engineer
2nd level
warp condenser
doom rocket

Warlock engineer

ds x 2

Clanrats+mus x 25

10 giant rats
2 packmasters
mm gw

10 giant rats
2 packmasters


Plague monks x 25
mus, sb

6 x PCB
6 x PCB

Hellpit abomination
Plagueclaw catapult

This gives me almost 250 ranked infantry models as well as the HPA and the catapult. I face orcs a lot so i have tried to squeeze in as much panic causing stuff as i can. I still think that overall this is still a very balanced army. It competes in all phases and has a nice balance of fighting and magic characters......
