Fair enough, now that we know this happens we can just wait for it to load next time... ;)

I've deleted the extra posts, also I've taken the liberty of changing the all caps in your username; it's a general online custom that all caps is like yelling in public :P (especially when I entered this forum and saw twenty of them in a row, major sensory overload!). It shouldn't be a problem with logging in (i don't believe usernames are case sensitive).

20 Clanrats will fight bravely and then flee very quickly. Clanrat units need to be 30-40. You should also cut your rat pack down to just one packmaster. Rat Ogres are usually not worth the points, but thats a personal preference thing for most people.

To make a long story short, take a look at Mathusalas Thread in this section, entitled 'How to make a skaven list', or something like that. Im sure he'll post a link to it on this thread, soon ( ;) Math, lol ) . Read that thread. Reread it. Then read it again. It is amazingly useful for newbies like you and me. It tells you how to properly equip lords/heroes, how to make core units, .... just about covers everything.

On the subject of what to buy next, i would suggest 2 warp lightning cannons, to replace your weapon teams. And, due to my recent discussion with SkavenDan, I wont recommend something else.......)
I wish Morgan Freeman narrated my life.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO firby why you make me post the link again :(

On an unrelated note, Games-workshop is highly renowned for writing the most HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE lists in order to present "fun" armies when the real goal is to show off all their new models so that you will go buy stuff. as firby already said, these clanrat units are to small, you dont have enough models, your characters are horribly ill-equipped (whoever designed the gear on the warlock should be shot, i mean coomon! hes a warlock not a fighter) and you done have a single rare (and skaven rares are ungodly awesome)
