At the very least I'd lose the weapon on the chieftain. Putting him with the stormvermin does the same thing. Add two more clanrats and a slave that should make up for the bitting blade.

More Stormfiends

Here are my two Warptokens:

The BSB could use some better protection. I'd like to see him with a 4+ Ward and a halberd, ideally.

I'm a little iffy on the Razor Standard. 16% more casualties is nice, but...that's still only 1.6 more unsaved wounds for every ten you cause. And that's against 5+ or more armour. Not terribly impressive.
You've got a decent amount of shooting, but only one shot that is going to do anything at long range. Why not the Stormbanner? Protect your Warpseer, 'wheel, and 'fiends as they close the distance. By the time them and the death squads are in range, the banner will usually have exhausted itself.
Or ground some fliers.
Or don't use it at all, if your oopponent isn't packing any heat. 50pts isn't that big of a deal.

If he takes the storm banner isn't he limiting his own shooting aswell?

So. As I said: yes, they are. But if their opponent brings more shooting, or if they bring more long-ranged shooting (which is easy to do against Skaven), it becomes worthwhile.
Those Storm Fiends and Doomwheel aren't going to be in range right away. Might as well protect the Verminlord from cannon fire.

Or if your opponent has an expensive flyer or two? Grounding them might be worth losing some shooting.
A Tzeentch Sorcerer trying to get tricky with his Disk? Or perhaps you want that unkillable Captain on a Pegasus to get stuck fighting Slaves, instead of holding up your Stormvermin or going after one of your fragile and expensive units.

And the coolest thing about the banner? You don't have to use it.
It's 50pts. For something that drastically changes the entire table...or not.

This is a nasty list! I wouldn't change much except from giving the BSB a wardsave, like Armor of Destiny.

If you risk facing a shooty-army, then the Stormbanner is good I guess, but it could also prove to work against you aswell.

Good luck and let us know if that Verminlord is worth his points. I'm tempted to try him out once I finish painting him
