GOOOOOD MORRNNNNNING DAKKADAKKA! okay enough with the movie references on to the list. I'm going to a tornament with my good ol' plague rats (might put up some pictures) and need help with my list as i'm not sure what is considered competitive in a skaven army..... okay, here goes:

Warlord

4 rat ogres+4packmasters

doomwheel

=2246.5pts

PD=4
DD=4

i put the Warlord in a clanrat unit, same with the non furnace priest and BSB with the furnace in the plague monks. I frenzy units with the slaves and hope the banner can stop most shooting with my dispel dice and scrolls with magic unit i get into range with throwers and eventual combat.

Not a bad list - very similar to one of the ones that I posted. Couple of suggestions:

1. Try and squeeze in a few points to put flails on your plague priests. Gives them Str 6 on the 1st round of combat.
2. The rat ogres will only let you have 1 packmaster per 2 rat ogres - frees up 16 points right there.
3. With the low Str of the plague monks, not exactly sure how effective the plague standard would be. If your dying to run a magic standard in the unit, the Banner of the Underempire is pretty cool, a little bit cheaper and does 2D6 automatic Str 2 hits at the beginning of each combat phase. Or you could drop it and pick up 30 points.
4. The Blade of Nurgilitch - doesn't give you a Str bonus or anything, as well as the lowering the toughness of the opponent - eh. If you really want a magic weapon on him, I'd give him the Sword of Might or something - otherwise just a halberd or great weapon.
5. Doomwheel - I'm guessing thats your big nasty monster solution. The only thing I don't like about it is that the warp lightning still allows armor saves, but still does D6 wounds (maybe a FAQ?). Either way - I'm a fan of cannons, so I'd drop it and add in 2 warp lightning cannons (points from dropping the plague standard would pay for it).

To summarize, I'd add the Halberd to the Warlord, add flails to the plague priests, drop the plague banner, drop the 2 packmasters, drop the doomwheel and add in 2 warp lightning cannons.
Expect the FAQ on the stormbanner to be one use - if your playing anyone with shooting or artillery, that plague furnace/plague priest on it is a big target. Also watch out for the size of your plague furnace unit, as with it being frenzied, can easily be redirected and it's failed charge wheel movement is a killer.

thanks man i plan to put the slaves in front on my frenzied units to control them as they don't flee now

although i don't know how to plague up warp lightning cannons do you have any ideas?

Plague up warp lightning cannons? Are you talking about converting them or just finding the points in the list for them?

converting, its the theme of the army

Well depending on the budget your operating off of, an idea I had would be use some plague monks as the crew, use the backpacks from the poisoned globe guys on them, hook in some lines from the backpacks to the cannon (I use thin plastic tubing for my warpfire thrower conversions), then connect them to different parts of the cannon. Or have a barrel or vat of sludge connected to the cannon - anything that gives it an ooze feel would be cool.
If you dropped the carriage and had the cannon carried by plague monks (take some converting on the arms but I've seen it done), that would be cool as well. The cannon itself is a cool model so I would definately stay with it.

cool that sounds good
