Hey i have never use rat ogres or pcb before but now i have models for both i was wondering which was better? i only do small games (1000pts but sometimes rarely 1500pts) so which is better? At most i would take 2 rat ogres and a packmaster or 5 pcb and sometimes put a plague priest with them. they are roughly the same amount of points but which of them kills the best and against what? thanks James100

I think tht these two units are used for completley different things. I like both and the censer bearers are amazing but a unit of five really does suffer strong missile fire so hide them behind woods to pop out. Rat ogres are pretty cool as well and have 4 s5 attacks each due to frenzy. shame i just get bad luck with them

Why choose one when you can have rat ogre censor bearers? :ph43r: :ph43r: :ph43r: Oh, you can't. Yeah, plague censer bearers are the best unit in the book and rat ogres are of questionable utility since they go stupid when a stiff wind blows their way. |

oh man Decker for a moment you gave me such an awesome idea to use for the rat ogre model with the chain in the Screaming Bell kit. |

Personally, I think Censer Bearers are 'better' as they hit as hard and can be made stubborn. Biggest problem with them is that because they are skirmishers, they are easy to drag around by flyers and fast cav (as they can get behind you and draw them away due to the censer bearers having 360 degree los). If you are having Plague Monks then I would says Censer Bearers are a 'must' but it really depends on what you want

censor bearers can dishout almost as much pain as an abomination... i used 5 to charge the front of a saurs warrior unit and killed 8 of the 15 models in one round of combat... unfortunately he still held.. lol... 2 censors will provide 6 S5 attacks from the same frontage... and T tests... dont go stupid and cost less... only disadvantage is one less wound... but those 2 cost 32 points compared to the 88 you will spend on 2 ogres and master. also if you want to prevent being lead around all game i run my between units... that way they will be protected against charges because the space they are in is too small and the cant be lead from the sides... |
