As I written earlier this week about my clan backstory and shades I chose, I was wondering since I went splits on 3 IoB starter sets, and without spending too much money. How am I to convert a set of 20-40 clanrats over to plaguemonks or something similar?

PS I will be gone on vacation for a week and will have Warlord Adorg snapped to here for remarks

From out of the spawn pools came a White rat... with the power to one day rule his own army of uncontrollable intelligence.

Mmmm, a valid painting sheme and conversions to 2 HW's seems best to do. Maybe GS some swollen eyes, rotting things and disease and stuff.

Also you're clan bears the name of the desease my grandfather died to... :(

Sorry to hear that my clan name took your grandfather, Willqueek, I just went to a thesauraus and looked up pestilince. Found cankerous and liked the name.

Apart from that thanks for the Ideas for my small family. Btw boils and puss on white would look awesome.

Mmm, idoesn't matter me (bar you are dutch or dutch-belgium) Kanker is hollands for cancer.... :(
I does fit pestilents somehow.

Some kinda sick unit fillers like plagued things from chaos or cauldrons of poxes are also awesome ;)

First off welcome to clan Pestilens (and the Pestilent Brotherhood).
The clanrat set contains some models that already look rather pestilens (like the hunch back one, or the one with the robes and wounds on his back). Sculpting extra robes also would be needed, you'd want the diffrence between clanrats and plaguemonks to be clear on the battlefield.
Maybe go on ebay and buy some plague monk arms to add to your clanrats.

@Willqueek: Kanker is the general dutch word for cancer ;-)

*I would drop the halberd on the warlord, since he has the warlock augmented weapons. You can't combine those 2 weapons.
*give one of the 2 warlock casters the condenser. Those extra hits and the possible extra power dice are an enourmous help towards your magic phase.
*Drop the shields and spears on the slaves and add more slaves, bodies work beter then equipment for them in my opinion (although there are those that beg to differ :P ).
* Unless i'm terribly mistaking a master moulder can't wield any magic weapon, he can only chose from the moulder magic items and the scavenge-pile. So a sword of anti-heroes is not an option.
*I'd leave the 2 units of 20 with weapon teams without extras (except maybe a musician).

Flem,

Thanks for the good ideas *Runs over with a giant piece of Swiss cheese to the Green-thing leader's encampment and buys more of the Green-thing's night goblin army for more slaves and tells his warlocks to build better weapons*

...you can still call me Rusty Tincanne if you want, though.

Hmmm... I fail to see anything plaguey about that list. :unsure: In fact, it is all Moulder and Skryre. :(

So I guess my advice is to cut out half of the weapons teams and both warlock engineers and get yourself some monks and a Priest. Then lose 2 Rat Ogres and get a plague claw catapult. At least that way you have a token representation of Pestilens. -_- (Did I mention to proxy some of those units?)

Omniscience was granted to me from the Horned Rat. You must be a lesser rat than me. :P

@ Adorg: No worries. I was just assuming that you had not included Pestilens yet because you are basing your list off the IoB boxes (you mentioned earlier that that is all you have thusfar). I hope you do eventually add some plaguey goodness to your list.

Yes. One of my OOW friends is helping me scratch build a furnace. And was going to convert the smaller CR's into monks.

I might convert a few things over.

Adorg's wishlist
An abominnation plagued up
Furnace with priest and a score of pm to go with
More slaves

Should get painting and more show and tell
