not sure if i should have the clanrats in 3 groups of 20 or 2 groups of 30

Musician's are incredibly important to skaven. That way opponents have to do 6 wounds to beat you in combat, and you +1 to rally when you flee... not if you flee when. Spears are not as important to clan rats. You usually want to use the 4+ armor save option in combat, as your str 3 tends to do zero in combat.

I'd run 3x25 clanrats with full commands, 3x 21 slaves to start as a foundation for a army. if you have double doom wheel, your going to have some laughs in a game and be competitive. Also at least get a engineer with the doom rocket, its too good not to take.

I agree about the musicians. It sounds like you have a nice basis for an army! The main thing I'd want to think about is how you plan to win combats... it'd be nice if you had more of a rock-hard unit in there that could hold your opponent while you gain the flank and negate his ranks, and win through superior CR. A screaming bell could be very nice for this.

You have the numbers for rats, but I think you just need to flesh out what your strategy will be a little more... there's a lot of skaven lists up that you could browse through for ideas
