asrian Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ok, I read the other forum post on Hamlin, and most people seemed to agree you need around 6 to 10 rats in total for his crew (for potential summoning, etc). My question is, how many Rat Kings would you say would be a good model count to have for a game? 2 or 3? Maybe more? reason I ask is I just picked up a Hamlin crew pretty cheap and was going to pick up a few other odds and ends like a Wretch and some Rat Catchers (and I have boxes and boxes of Skaven from WHFB with extra regular rats, so was going to make some Rat Kings once I picked up some bases).

Mason Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have four, and I think I've only ever pulled the fourth one out once. Most of the time, around two to three seems to be enough to get through a game, unless you're going really heavy on the Rat Kings from the start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uktena Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 None. Cuz if your opponent is smart they will jack up those rats in a mad panic. Rat Kings are horrible to deal with. I'd rather poop my guts out to Bleeding Disease. /fear and loathing in Malifaux (Actually 2 seems about right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzer Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have three, which is more than enough. As Mindshred said, a fourth might come in handy at times. Rarely been the case for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have 2 and never seemed to need more. Would be nice to have a third I guess but found more use in turning one into a rat catcher and rat if I need another rat king model! but I have not yet hired one so would be different if I started with some in my lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three rat kings duplicates too much and risks wasteful redundancy I feel. My Hammy opponent is best served converting out to a rat catcher with Rat Problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope you are going to make the rat kings by taking a skaven dude and give him a crown and a sceptre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
