Eighteen quid !???!

You get one sprue in the box.
A few rats, 3 handlers and 2 rat ogres.

Eighteen quid , 40 US dollars - interesting exchange rate there.

I came across a pic of the sprues yesterday but can't find the damn thing
today.
Anyhow.
Although the sprues look nice and I can see very useful conversion
possibilities.
18 flippin quid for one sprue.

Could be worse I suppose.
5 quid for each engineer.
I hate those figures as well.
Definitely have to look at a couple of conversions there.

The models are also ugly as sin. The same price gets you 6 Ogre Bulls,
so we're supposed to swallow the idea that 3 Skaven and 6 rats are
equivalent to four more Ogres (as little good as there is to say about
the Ogre range, that set at least doesn't seem hideously overpriced) -
somehow I don't think so. There should have been four ogres in the set
along with the rest.

For US 15? Not so good.

Oohh. A whole 6 Giant Rats.

IMO, it's worth 25 USD.

Probably best to buy as part of a Battalion deal, tho I see that's been
bumped to 115 USD. Still, the Battalion has 60 Skaven on top of this set.

Bizarrely, the Ogre Kingdom range also has a reasonable battalion box - £78
worth of stuff for £50.
Or £45 if you shop online.
