Can anyone help me? I'm making a warlord army that will be aligned with Clan pestilens and am aiming for about 1500 - 2000pts. Which is going to be more suitable the screaming bell or plague furnace. Just to give an idea I'm probably going to get the Skaven army box very soon and already have the IoB Skaven. so thats: 80 Clanrats 40 Storm Vermin 20 Plague monks (which I want to boost to 40 ) 4 Rat Ogres (not sure if I'll include) 6 Giant rats (not to fussed on) Master moulder and 2 Packmasters 1 Cheftain 1 Warlock Engineer Warp Lightning Cannon and of course the bell or funace (hence the question ) |

The Plague Furnace is more of a Pestilens-oriented choice. Plus, the Screaming Bell is a hefty pts investment at any value under 2400pts, so it seems more logical to go with the former. | |

Themed and balanced i would go for the Furnish. Make sure you also give your PM the Plague banner and you have yourself a nice hammer :-) Btw before you start putting it all together consider at least 40 or your "clanrat-models" to become slaves without shields. You want them as well :-) The others (IOB models) with shield can function as CR or Slaves. Edited by tezzmaniak, 8th June 2012 - 11:15 AM.

For 1500-2k it has to be the furnace really. You cant even field a bell in games less that 1800 points. That said I built mine as a furnace and now I regret it, so building it dual-use might be a very good idea, since under 2.4k you almost certainly wont want to run both. There is a guide on here somewhere, or you could google it, but it looks quite straightforward to do. |

If you can build it as dual use then go for it!. I like the furnace a bit more since it's cheaper and has a lot of punch in CC. Nothing like sending 10 S6 hits against an enemy character. Plus 200 points in a lord selection is a very hefty amount considering what it does. | |

Thanks for all the ideas I'll more than likely get a Bell separate when I expand so in large games I can field both I was considering Slaves for some of them also so I got that covered The painting of the IoB Clanrats begins shortly btw, I'm just at the final stages of me Genestealers |

Go to one of the good bits sites ( I like hoard of bits) and order another set of the arches. Then instead of glueing the arches you just swap them depending on what you want to field. | |

I'll probably more often than not field the Plague Furnace, especially since I'm doing a Septik based Clan Like I said before I'll probably buy a second one later down the track cause if I field the bell it will be in large games where I'll have both in. |
