Hi all,

I have my first tournament coming up fairly soon. What do you think to this list?


Tournament list rules:
verminlords are reduced by 100 points
only one non magic level warlock engineer permitted
maximum of 2 Warmachines of the same type and 4 Warmachines in total - hellpit and doomwheel each count as a warmachine. If taking a second doomwheel the second will count as 2 warmachines.
heroes and lords combined must not exceed 50% but can be freely mixed within this



Lords:
Verminlord Deceiver - 400pts

Grey Seer - foul pendant, dispel scroll, skalm - 325pts

Heroes:
Cheiftain - BSB, Talisman of Preservation - 115pts

Warlock Engineer - doomrocket - 45pts

Core:
40 Stormvermin - full command, storm banner - 355pts

30 Clanrats - full command, shields - 155pts

30 Clanrats - full command, shields, spears - 170pts

3 x rat darts - 5 giant rats and packmaster - 69pts

Special:
2 x 5 gutter runners - slings, poisoned attacks - 180

Rare:
Stormfiends - grinderfists, shock gauntlets, ratling cannon - 255

2 x warp lightning cannon - 180

Doomwheel - 150

Total: 2399

Plan to get stormfiends, gutter runners and verminlord behind enemy line pretty quick as the rest of the army advance.



A variant I have in mind is to replace the core with the following:

40 Stormvermin - full command, storm banner - 355pts

2 x 40 skavenslaves - musician - 164pts

30 Clanrats - full command, shields, spears - 170pts

2 x rat darts - 5 giant rats and packmaster - 46pts

Total: 2385




Any comments and thoughts are very much welcomed!

Cheers!

That's a pretty amazing bit of comp! I can see it applying to the OG verminlord, but the new (IMO far superior) ones too? Somebody really wants to see giant horny tentacle rat daemons on the table

I prefer this variant. Clanrats suck, if you want S3 T3 bodies slaves are totally the way to go.

Drop the BSB's shield (which he can't use in combat as he has a halberd) and you've got 5 points to spend on some small magical trinket for a character you may or may not ever remember to use

Like an ironcurse on the BSB, or a charmed shield if you really want him to have a shield but get some use out of it.
