Lately I am trying to gear up my skaven once again, after playing 40K for the last couple of months. So anticipating great things from January I’ve constructed this as my 2000 point tournament list. I would like come comments and criticism, mostly the second as I feel it isn’t as optimized as it could be.

Also I don’t know what to add for 2500, the other points level we typically play around here. So far I’m thinking two Doomwheels, leaving me with 200 points to fiddle with. Any ideas?

Lords:
 Warlord, War-littler, Enchanted Shield, Warlock-augmented Weapon, Talisman of Preservation=225
 Grey Seer, Warp-energy Condenser=260

Heroes:
 Chieftain, Shield, Tail Weapon, BSB, Storm Banner=130
 Warlock Engineer=15
 Warlock Engineer=15
Core:
 40*Clanrats, shields, musician, standard, poisoned wind mortar=257
 40*Clanrats, shields, musician, standard, poisoned wind mortar=257
 40*Clanrats, shields, musician, standard, poisoned wind mortar=257
 50*Slaves, musician-102
 50*Slaves, musician-102
Rare:
 Warp-lightning Cannon=90
 Warp-lightning Cannon=90
 Plague Claw Catapult=100
 Plague Claw Catapult=100
Total=2000

Perhaps a 2nd caster such as Lvl 2 Plague or Warlock?

Or maybe another block of slaves or a unit of giant rats

List looks good i think. Lots of shooting.
Adding two doomwheels and then for the rest of the pts, id say: add 2 units of gutter runners taking out the opponents cannons and such

@kenshin620: I don't really think I need any more bodies. Getting these painted will already be a nightmare.

@LordofMUck: How big are those gutter runner squads? And do they have poisoned attacks?

Well id suggest 5-8 men apiece. Im no expert though (have yet to PLAY 8th ed!), but thats what i have grasped.
They should have slings + poison.

Consider getting a screaming bell for your grey seer when you go to 2500 pts.... maybe + 1 doomwheel and + gutter runners

I know that the runners are good at that with poisoned, its just they're a lot of points then. A unit comes out at 180 or so for 10 of them. So with 200 points I can get 11 or so, not a lot. Perhaps a single doomwheel and runners at 2500? I'll need to test those out at some point.
