Clanrats....; A Quick Question

Hi guys, I've just been reading "A Newcomers' Guide To The Skaven Army" by Saskrit Venomclaw (http://s6.zetaboards.com/The_UnderEmpire/topic/1150169/1/), and it's raised a few questions.

Under his Clanrats section, he says:

"30 is best. More than that generally makes the unit unwieldy for no increase in battlefield performance, and is best avoided."

What are peoples opinions of this? I've been fielding my Clan Rats in units of no fewer than 40, with an aim of bumping all 3 units up to 50, in order to benefit from Horde formations, and still maintain an extra rank for SiN. I guess my question is would I be better served capping my units at 30, and investing the points compared to a unit of 50 elsewhere? Thoughts?

Cheers!

The topic in question was made back in 2005 under the 6th Ed Skaven book and 6th/7th Ed Warhammer, so things have changed a little bit since then ;)

Oh, whoops!

Let's just pretend that this never happened then, shall we?

I don't think you need to specify "Clan" really......

I think a lot of the old tactics topics need to be updated or archived and removed.
