A lot of people really like the Deadwatch list, but I lean more towards Ghoul Patrol lists. Not only do they have that classic horror, monsters from all sides closing in feel to it, but it is very strong to camp objectives. My favorite list so far is GK on TG(Banshee Blade, Majestic Horror), Ghoul Courtier, Varghulf(FLayed Pennant), 2 GK, 30/20/20 Ghouls. Ghoul Patrol and a couple Endless spells. Usually Cogs and Soul Shackles. The list can hit very hard and Flayed Pennant can allow the 2 summoned Horror blobs to charge in on the first turn they come on the board. Then swarm objectives with piles of regenerating ghouls.

Most games it evens out ok but when he rolls and drops 15 hits on that Ballista I cry a little bit.

My local SCE player has started to learn that he should Ballista the GK on Terrorghiest off the board as fast as possible. Its gotten bad enough that if I don't get the first turn I have to rely on die rolls to keep the thing alive long enough to summon anything. Time to start taking 2!

Mostly I'm not looking for the best just the fun that can win on occasion lol. Thanquol is a fantastic model so I would see using him occasionally and I have few extra Grey Priests from my SC boxes. My only hesitation on going Mixed Skaven is that I already have 160 Plague Monks. I don't wanna do Clanrats on top of that...yuck. I'd be painting for years.

I got my first real game at 1000 points in the other day with Pestilens. I'm not fond of plague claws so I allied in a warp cannon instead. That thing melted through Stormcast units. (it helped that I rolled 1s). Now I'm stuck on where to go. I'm not super worried about competitive but I do like to at least put up a good fight. My dilemna is running towards Nurgle allegiance and Grabbing some Blightlords, a Lord of Blights and a GUO or staying Pestilens but adding in some fun Skaven options like assassins, Thanquol or more Warp Cannons. What are the big pros and cons here?
