As the title says.
Im looking to add stuff to Island of Blood for the Skaven, and Id like to know what would be best.
I currently have €135,-, and Island of Blood is €78,-
That means I have €57,-

Clanrats are: €22,50
Stormvermin are: €39,-
Doomweel is: €26,-
Plague Moks are: €30,-
Gutter Runners are: €30,-
Screaming Bell/Plague Furnace is: €45,50

Skaven needs boddies and a few hammers. So a good investment is clanrats/slaves

Allright.
Are Stormvemrin an good choice to add? I really like them

I have found that storm vermin are good just for storm banner and the small combat potential they have.

Whew

Ideally you want someone to swap the High Elf part of the Island of Blood set with to get two lots of the Skaven half, if you plan on keeping the Elves I would seriously consider finding an extra few euros and just getting a second set. That gives you enough for 2 usable Clanrat units (20 is way too small), a couple of Rat Ogre units + a choice of weapons teams. You should never buy the Clanrats box really, its just so much cheaper to get them with the Island of Blood so unless you want unarmoured rats to use as Slaves I wouldn't bother.

After you have a couple of big blocks of infantry I would probably go for something like a Warp Lightning Cannon or one of the other single model/very small unit special or rare choices. Stormvermin and Plague Monks are both very nice but you probably want some variety rather than just more blocks of infantry (both from a practical competitive POV and a painting/modelling POV).

Im planning on keeping both. I could buy both a unit of Plague Monks and a Warp Lgihtning cannon.
