A blood curling cough a day, keeps the assassins away

On the bell give him a Skalm so you can heal you're wounds. For the rest i have seen the seer with a power stone(for more dice), an earthing rod (against those miscasts) or even a wand of jet (so you don't lose focus over a stupid spell with a dubbel 1 roll).

Also keep your warlocks lvl 1, the only spell you'll really want to cast is Warplightning. All other dice shall probably go to the seer for 13 spells and plague.

Flem,

Sorry, but this is a flashback from 7th edition list. In 8th you have to change some things.

Grey Seer: You can't use both Regeneration and Ward Saves together in 8th so the Seed of Rebirth is useless. (If you think this is unfair for whatever reason it balances Plaguebearers)

BSB: Fine.

Warlock 1: Ok.

Warlock 2: You purchase him mostly for Warp Lighting. Drop Level 2 and get that Doomrocket.

Clanrats 1 and 2: fine I suppose.

Clanrats 3: Nice.

Giant Rat units: Giant Giant Rat (hoho) units are not that useful. You should remove one and replace them with 3 units of 5 Giant Rats and 1 Packmaster each. Those are helpful.

Slaves: In 8th, small units of Slaves is bad, bigger is better. With the points you have gathered make 2 50 units of Slaves instead of what you have there. And get Musicians for each. Shields are optional.

Gutter Runners: Get them Slings and Poison and get more of them. They are so good with that simple set up.

PCB: Bad, but you may keep them if you really want. They have some limited uses. Before they were golden, now they die before they do anything most of the time. I still think they are good, but you have to play them completely different.

Rare: Fine.

I agree, the seed is kind of duplicative since you can only take a Regen or a Ward save; and since the bell grants you a 4+ ward save you'll practically never use the Seed's regen. I agree with the alternate equipment recommendations from the above posters.

Slaves units of 21 are way too small to have any impact in a 2500 point game. There will be little left as far as ranks go when they break after 1 round of combat you might get a +2 on your D3 roll, but spending ~46 points to get d3+2 strength 3 hits isn't really cost effective.

Small units of PCBs will get tore up in combat before they get to swing back against ranked units. They will do little to protect the flanks of your clanrats against any enemy flanking unit of 15+ models. They'll use your PCBs to get an overrun into your flank or backfield.

Cheers for the replies guys, I havn't played 8th yet so any smilarities to 7th is due to that reason. Have updated my list in the initial post, have included a 2nd WLC, dropped the Giant rat packs and PCB's. Have 100pts left (if my maths is right) am not sure where to go with it...

-Small rat darts

-Globadiers behind slaves

-Other

Again all hints and tips appreciated, cheers!!

Both Earthing Rod and Power Stone are Arcane. You must drop one of them.

I say get 2-3 units of Rat Darts and maybe find points for another unit of Gutter Runners.

Ok list has been changed in the OP again, main changes are loss of poisoned attacks on the GRs. However, all clanrat units up to 40 strong (with Engineers incl.), doomrocket now in too as well as some PWGs!

Any thoughts or changes?

Will check out your Castle list Mathusala0 thanks! :D
