I dont see anything wrong with it, however it doesnt seem like a great idea to me - 2 unbreakable units are better than one...!

its more of not owning enough plague monks

i only own 1 unit of 20

and i think having 2 units of 10 plague monks is worse then 1 unit of 20

and also that means my unit has a unit strength of 50

It does NOT have a "unit strength of 50" - the single US7 plague furnace (6 wounds plus plague priest i think?) "counts as 15 models for rank bonus" - not unit strength but rank bonus.

So so many people misread this section and get the words "unit strength" from it

Nos: calm man,

OP Nos is right, yes you can have more than 1, yes it is bad to have so few models pushing the furnace, and yes the bell counts 15 for RB but is US7. (6 wounds and a preist)

also, there is no reason you cant take all those rats that come in the plague monks box, find a ton of 20mm bases and use those as well, there are like what 14? place them in the front ranks aside from S/M/C and just call it ambiance as in every pic from GW thee are a ton of rats always underfoot. pluss it looks cool when all done up.

Hey, it wasnt that excitable a post - I just get frustrated that people take a very straightforward phrase - it counts as 15 models for ranks - and then somehow think that means Unit Strength as well. It makes NO sense at all....

your right. But the OP has been told the correct US. No need to get frustrated, as it will happen again and isnt really worth it.
