Hey folks

I'm digging out my rats now that there's the new book. It looks like a pure pestilens army is now viable -- glass hammer, but rewards huge chunk of rats. I was thinking of buying 2 of the SC! boxes, mixing in the 20ish plague monks I have currently and buff them with a venom lord. I sold off all my stormvermin a while back, I probably still have ~40 clanrats/slaves and some of the IoB stuff still maybe. Have to check.

Thoughts of all plague builds?

Totally viable, especially with their allegiance abilities in the upcoming GHB2. You'll still want to pick up the battletome (or the digital rules pack) for the battalions though.
