==Why play Clans Pestilens?==

Everyone's favourite rat-men, just slightly more ill and covered in suppurating infections, here to kill man-things and stab each other in the back in the [[Age of Sigmar]].
This is a pretty complex army with lots of special rules and abilities that interact with each other, but it can be a deadly one if you learn how to use it.

===Pros===
•You get to play crazed ratmen zealots covered in disease.

•You get to play a plague army that isnt Maggotkin.

•You have crazy plague bullshit to fuck up your enemy with.

•Most people will have no clue how Pestilens works and not know how to counter, giving you an advantage.

•You got some sick looking models. (ba-dum-tsch)

•Conversion potential is pretty high. (as with most skaven)

•You fucking love good positioning, massive hordes and a metric fuck-ton of passive buffs by late game.

•You work well with Maggotkin as they wont be affected by your plague shit.

•Not many people field these guys.

•You love skaven and want to field a proper skaven army .

•You enjoy the modelling and painting aspect of the hobby just as much as the gameplay, if not more so.

•You want to save money when building an army.

•Plague skaven are best-best.

===Cons===
•Fighting Maggotkin can be misery for both parties.

•some people think Pestilens is just an ally army for Maggotkin.

•Your plague monks get no saves.

•Bad positioning can really disable you.

•Your only shooty unit doesn't work well against monsters and heros.

•Your verminlord sucks at melee.

•You don't have much diversity in units outside of allies.

•Any non-Blightkin can fall under your diseases and plagues. This includes your allies.
