===From the Skaven Pestilens Battletome===
For now those are the only battalions with a point value for pitched battles.

====Congregation of Flith====
''Battalion cost: 170pt. Unit cost: min. 320 pt., max. 780 pt.''

'''''A Plague Furnace and 2 or more units of Plague Monks.'''''

For this you get a ward save against any wounds on a 6 as long as the monks are chilling close to the Furnace and the ability to reroll charges if the squad still has 20 or more rats. The verdict? It's a good way to snag an extra artifact as you'll already be taking all the models in the batallion anyway and it lowers your drop count. Don't expect it to change the game however.

====Virulent Procession====
''Battalion cost: 160pt. Unit cost (including the 2 Congregations of Flith battalions cost): min. 1080 pt., max. 1900 pt.''

'''''A Verminlord Corruptor and 2 or more Congregations of Flith.'''''

Used to be this was a hell of a good time in 2016, now however you're looking at a horrific high point investment for the ability to heal your Verminlord by butchering your own troops and potentially triggering unfavorable battleshock and a watered down version of the Stormcast with the trumpet ability to rattlea piece of terrain. This isn't worth it, not by a long shot.

====Foulrain Congregation====
''Battalion cost: <s>200</s>190pt. Unit cost: 560 pt. Total: 750pt.''

'''''A Plague Priest and 3 Plagueclaws.'''''

3 Plagueclaws that get to reroll hits if their target has already been hit by a Plagueclaw this turn and add 1 to the wound rolls if the priest is near. No. Just no. This battalion will cost on average almost half your army for something that will never, EVER score its points back (Points have gone down since that post). It's the ultimate noob trap battalion and I definitely fell for it in the beginning. As soon as I swapped it out for more bodies and allied troops like Gutter Runners I started winning games. Wasn't a coincidence. Or will they? With it's lower point cost now of 160 and it's ability to hit on a 2+ and potentially deal 2d6 damage to units over 10 models, it might be worth taking one of them to earn it's own points back before it dies since most armies have at least one unit with more 10 models in it. It also has a phat -2 rend. Besides, Gutter Runners are a waste of your limited points for allies when maggotkin are now an option.

====Plaguesmog Congregation====
''Battalion cost: 180pt. Unit cost: min. 340 pt., max. 700 pt.''

'''''A Plague Furnace and 2 or more units of Plague Censer Bearers.'''''

The whole batallion gets their area of effect hero phase gas attack improved and the censers become harder to hit. This is an odd one. It's exactly like the Censer Bearers themselves, used well it will give you a significant advantage and used poorly it'll cost a massive investment that could lose you the game. I've just started running it, and my advice is go for it.
