I'm looking at taking a Clan Pestilens themed list to Horned Rat IV at the start of July, with a view to maximum infection. At Runefang I tried the Skavenblight Panzer Division and I think that these campaigns are great opportunities to try out new lists.
The hardest thing is that it is very difficult to fill out your Core with Pestilens without using a Special Character. To that end I have decided to go with Slaves backed by a unit of Stormvermin
Here's the initial list I've come up with:
Seer - Earthing Rod, Talisman of Preservation, Skalm, Lore of Plague
Priest - Lvl 1, Flail, Plague Furnace
Priest - Lvl 1, Gold Sword of Sigil, 5+ Ward on Poxrat
Chieftain - BSB
40 Slaves - Muso
40 Slaves - Muso
35 Slaves - Muso
26 Stormvermin - Shields, Full Command, Storm Banner
33 Plague Monks - Full Command Plague Banner
8 Plague Censer Bearers
8 Plague Censer Bearers
Plagueclaw Catapult
So 2000 points of Pestilens.
I bet it's pox!
That's my one major gripe with the new book. I was all keen to do a plague list, all priests and pestilens. Without Skrolk, it's not possible.
ReplyDeleteAround here, at these "lower" point levels 2k - 2.5 k ... special characters are becoming accepted. The point ratio at this level keeps the crazy characters out of it. And ... the thinking goes, that O&G and Tomb Kings can really benefit from it ... and I can take Skweel to augment my ROs ///
