Hey guys,
I've entered a campaign with a bunch of my friends and we're slowly increasing the points level of our battles, and the 'round' coming up in a few days is 2000pts. I've 50pts of Gold too, so 2050pts

Here it is:

Grey Seer @ 285pts
Talisman of Preservation

Chieftain BSB @ 70pts

Warlock Engineer @ 65pts
Brass Orb

40 Stormvermin @ 320pts
Full Command and Banner of Eternal Flame

24 Clanrats @ 193pts
Full Command, Shields,
Poisoned Wind Mortar

5 Giant Rats, 1 Packmaster @ 23pts

5 Giant Rats, 1 Packmaster @ 23pts

48 Slaves @ 96pts

48 Slaves @ 96pts

21 Giant Rats @ 79pts
2 Packmasters

6 Gutter Runners @ 108pts
Poisoned Attacks, Slings

8 Rat Ogres @ 452pts
3 Packmasters and Skweel Gnawtooth

Warp-Lightning Cannon @ 90pts

Doomwheel @ 150pts

Total: 2050pts

I'll most likely be facing Ogres, WoC and/or Dwarves.

Any and all advice appreciated. There are things I will and wont be able to do due to lack of models, but just tell me anyway so I know what to buy next

Tactics: Fairly simple: large Giant rat unit kills fast cav or skirmishers or helps flanks. Ogres and Stormvermin are the 2 fighty blocks. 24 clanrats is a bunker for see and BSB. Slaves are tarpits.

Thanks very much.

It's a good list. I like giving my slaves a musician so they can swift reform.

I'd switch the brass orb to a doomrocket against WoC and dwarves. Or use both on dwarves. It's value is most likely to be returned on ogres.

The 8 Rat Ogre unit is overpriced, but does have the possibility of causing serious damage. I usually field 6 if I field them at all, and Skweel's bonuses are a crapshoot. Dropping 2 rat ogres and Skweel would get you a geared up warlord (and a little bit more could get him a mount too). I probably see more value in the warlord with what he can add to combat res, and potentially do in the right challenge. Skweel's bonuses can be ridiculous, but they're also all about possibility as opposed to function. You're really hoping for regen. I find that rat ogres are our most breakable high-point unit due to the lack of ranks.

How are a measly 24 Clanrats going to act as a "bunker"? :huh:

What he said ^

So I think I will drop 2 Ogres and Skweel. Then buy another Engineer with the Doomrocket. I don't think a Warlord would be all that much help to be honest, he only as 4 attacks and he's one model so... this leaves me with 143pts to spend on pretty much anything I want. What should I do?

i would invest a small amount of it in buffing the numbers of the clanrat bunker, 25 is a little small and could be shot or magiced to critical numbers. other than that,

Warlock, level 1, energy condenser, doom rocket.

115ish points, good fun XD
