I was looking through the army and thought of this idea can anyone tell me if this is a good build or not?

Lord- Grey Seer w/ warp energy condenser and screaming bell- 460

Hero- Plague priest lvl 2-135

Bell is in the clan rats and forms the center w/ the 25 man unit in front of it. 3 shields and 3 spears on each side. 2 units of plain slaves in the back defending the plague claws. poison wind globodiers run around in between the rats in the center and throw into combats. Grey seer casts death frezy on speared slaves. list mainly uses shooting against heavy infantry and numbers / death frenzied spears aganist normal infantry. Priests cast off pestilence breath aganist armor units and support the slaves. Any comments? not rly good with skaven so there may be some flaws.

Homina, homina whaaaaa?

Are you really prepared to paint 400 models?

Also, with no ability to pick spells or even increase his selection beyond 4, any strategy based around a specific spell is going to make you sad.

I feel like this could make for a fun game, but you'll be hard pressed to even deploy some of this. Also, if you really want to go this route, slings on a unit might be handy for hitting large targets, and warp lightning cannons could splat things that nothing else in your army could touch.

Like I said, I would love to play against this, just for the feeling of being desperately outnumbered, but I think you'll run into trouble.

Total madness! Not sure of its functionality at all, but that's certainly extreme. Why priests over engineers? Non-frenzied and with auto-lightning - AND more death frenzy - I'd think engineers are the way to go.

Also: I'd give all the slaves slings to add ~200 more shots to the situation

A tweak from me might look like this:

L: Grey Seer - skalm, screaming bell = 480
H: Engineer - level 2, condenser, pipes of piebald = 145
H: Engineer - level 2, scroll = 125
H: Engineer - level 2, scroll = 125

C: 27 Clanrats - standard, musician, shields = 133.5
C: 20 Slaves - slings = 60
C: 20 Slaves - slings = 60
C: 20 Slaves - slings = 60
C: 20 Slaves - slings = 60
C: 20 Slaves - slings = 60
C: 20 Slaves - spears = 50
C: 20 Slaves - spears = 50
C: 20 Slaves - spears = 50
C: 20 Slaves - spears = 50
C: 20 Slaves - spears = 50
C: 25 Slaves = 50

S: 15 Globadiers = 150
S: 15 Globadiers = 150
S: 15 Globadiers = 150

R: PCC = 100
R: WLC = 90
-----------
2248.5 points
303 models

Half sling slaves, have spear slaves, one bigger slave bomb / character bunker. Also cut down to fit 2250, mostly at the cost of some extra-extra slaves and a PWG unit.

Wow... I'd love to see it! It certainly makes full use of the globadiers "toss into combats" ability... although there's not much else . Very cool!
