Graeme's purveyors of pestilence for March (234.5 points)

The Skaven tactics are cunning and effective. The scouting parties infiltrate first, to measure the strength of their prey. Then, to weaken their enemies before the ravening hordes attack, Clan Pestilens is sent forth to spread disease and sickness...

My theme for March turned out to be unintentionally topical, as it was dedicated to Clan Pestilens: Plague Monks and Plague Censor Bearers

Plague Censer Bearers - 120 points
Three Plague Censer Bearers to hide in units, waiting for unsuspecting units to venture too close...
These were my expensive troops for this month and saved the day in terms of reaching the 200 point target.

Leader and 1st rank of the Plague Monks

2nd rank of the Plague Monks

3rd rank of the Plague Monks

Plague monks with a standard (totem) bearer, led by a level 5 Hero - 114.5 points
Fourteen Plague Monks with a totem, led by a level a Clan Chieftain. There are not many Plague Monk models for 3rd edition, so I chose to vary some of the colours I used, to make it less uniform. I went for a more subdued, sickly palette to best reflect their background. I tried to be a little more subtle with my shading of robes and was fairly pleased with the results.

Clan Chieftain (Level 5 Hero ), with halberd and light armour - 32 points
14 Plague Monks, with hand weapons and light armour - 82.5 points (including extra 5.5 points for the standard-bearer)

Who's a pretty boy then?

I had a handful of these models but decided to only use one since I was originally thinking of using it as a wizard. In the end, I decided to use it as a regular Plague Monk, to add some variety to the unit and was pretty happy with how he turned out.

All the purveyors of pestilence

3 Plague Censer Bearers - 120 points
Clan Chieftain (Level 5 Hero ) - 32 points
14 Plague Monks - 82.5 points (including extra 5.5 points for the standard-bearer)

Total for March: 234.5 points

Total for the army: 661 points

Next month the work on building up my rank-and-file troops continues. I've also been experimenting with banners, so hope to add at least one. If I have time, maybe some conversions too, to reinforce my Plague Monks unit with some chaotic brethren.

Hope everyone is safe and well and stays that way. Until next month!
