http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Noob question regarding Skaven, what is the optimal size for clanrat blocks in a 2250 army. I am primarily concerned with the size of the main clanrat block. I figure that is where I need to put my grey seer and I want it to be the strongest block I can get.

Thanks in advance,

For the blocks holding the general I usually go to 30 men. More than that is really overkill and the extra 5 will gain you almost nothing (unless you are facking a similar block of 30 in your oponent's crappy troops)

Slaves are best at 20 or 25. more is useless
rat packs...whatever you want, i use 1 rat pack units for fun.
night runners - 5 or 13 is what I use
monks - 10, 18, or 21
censur bearers - 7 at least.
Rat ogers...unknown(nobody can get them to get their money's worth)
Gutter runners - 6 is usually good.
And finally jezzelles - 10(minimize panic) or 5 (minimize loss) both work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/205304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/205304.page GMT
30 clanrats for the general to hide in is sufficient.
Slaves, personally I prefer 25 if your opponent has shooting, 20 if not, remember they are only there to slow the enemy down and divert enemy chargers.

One of the prime candidates to get into the SAD is the Grey seer, 2 warplock enginseers (decked out), BSB combo, add screaming bell for FLAVA!

The above combo gives a withering hail of fantastic magic...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/206221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/206221.page GMT

Archers are also a problem as they can pick the seer off the top of it.

O, and be watchfull of any warp lightgning cannons on the field. I have had mine shoot my greyseer in the back twice.

That said, that's half the fun of playing Skaven. I love the effects of the bell. It's so great when I start killing warmachines with it. Or the time I had a full unit of night goblins run of the table on the first turn due to a 13. And the bell killing the grey seer is always fun too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/210825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/210825.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/210949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205015/210949.page GMT
