1. I want to keep the plague priest/furnace/monks/catapult.

2. I'd like to keep the wind mortars, as they feel a bit more Pestilens-y than flamethrowers.

3. Any changes have to work within the models I have/am picking up. I'll list these at the bottom.


Lords
Warlord with Weeping Blade, Warpstone Armor, Dawnstone

Heroes
Chieftain BSB with Charmed Shield and hand weapon

Plague Priest level 2 with Plague Furnace and Dispel Scroll

Warlock Engineer level 1 with Doomrocket and Warp Energy Condenser

Warlock Engineer level 1 with Feedback Scroll

Core
45 Clanrats with full command, spears and shields and attached Poisoned Wind Mortar (Warlord and BSB go in this unit)

35 Clanrats with full command, spears and shields and attached Poisoned Wind Mortar (First Engineer goes in this unit)

40 Slaves with musician, hand weapons and shields (Second Engineer goes in this unit)

40 Slaves with musician, hand weapons and shields

Special
35 Plague Monks with full command and Plague Banner (pushing the Plague Furnace)

6 Rat Ogres (2 ranks of 3) with 3 Packmasters

6 Rat Ogres (2 ranks of 3) with 3 Packmasters

Rare
Plagueclaw Catapult


Now, reason behind shields and spears on clanrats, and shields on slaves, all my clanrats and slaves are coming from the Island of Blood sets. I'm using the ones with spears as clanrats, ones with hand weapons as slaves. One of the tournaments is enforcing the WYSIWYG rule, so I can't just say 'the spear ones are slaves with just hand weapons, ignore the shields'.

I've got 3 casters, but will likely be swapping out both Engineers' spells for Warp Lightning unless I get Scorch, maybe Death Frenzy, but will depend on what I face. Pretty much anything the Priest gets will be helpful.

The Dispel Scroll and Feedback Scroll are for magic defense, same with having 3 casters, hoping to channel extra dice.

I do like the idea of having a nice horde, this almost fits, part of me wants more rats on the table.


Miniatures I have, or have on their way to me:

220 Island of Blood clanrats/slaves
40 Plague Monks
10 Jezzail teams
4 Poisoned Wind Mortars
6 Warpfire Throwers
12 Rat Ogres
Screaming Bell
Doomwheel
Plagueclaw Catapult
Plague Furnace
Plague Priest
2 Warlock Engineers

Any advice would be appreciated.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2289525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2289525.page GMT
You have a decent number of anvils in there which should see your list do well if you play it right. I think a doomwheel or a WLC will be very nice and needed. How else can you kill monsters?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2289640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2289640.page GMT
The storm banner, I may be able to drop some things to make points for and give it to the BSB.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2293041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337417/2293041.page GMT
