If your going all out, bring three units of three, it will fill your rare up at 2k, but nothing else in the rare section can match up to them.

Incorrect. They are rare, and you are capped at 2 duplicate choices in the rare category under 3k points.

3-4 is a healthy unit. The downside with 4 is if you break combat with a single model, he needs snake eyes to rally. On the fliipside, if your opponent manages to concentrate enough magic/shooting then the skullcrusher unit loses effective with every 3W model that fails a 1+ armor. If you plan on running a single unit, consider trying 4. If you plan on not having other rares, experimenting with two units of 3 makes provides two separate targets for your opponent to worry about.

5 puts too many eggs into a single basket. You are not likely to get all of your attacks unless you run 5x1 and charge a horde formation, which is usually not recommended.
