Okay, I've looked into a couple of options for the 105 HE points, which of these 3 do you think woud be best for playing the Skaven list? All are using the exact same lists as my previous post with the following addiditions:

1) Prince - Same as above + Armour of Destiny and Enchanted Shield, 1 Eagle

2) Prince - Same as above + Enchanted Shield, 2 eagles

3) Prince - Same as above + Armour of Destiny and Enchanted Shield, Upgrade Lvl 1 Mage to Lvl 2, 2x Silver wands

I think all 3 bring the list to exactly 2000 points, which would be best and most ballanced?

Also, now I've added the BSB is the Skaven list solid, or am I likely to have to make more changes there??

ust remember that you can't have more than one of the same magic item (eg 2x Silver wands) in the army.

I'd comment more but I only have about 2 min before I run off to Uni.

Option 3 is the best i would say but 1 silver wand has to be removed as for 2 reasons: You can only have 1; you where at 110pts, 5 pts over.

You now have 5 points left. Either leave it at that or go find something for 5 pts

Also A side note. For common magic items (items in the BRB and codex) Use the price in the codex but the rules from the BRB. It was mentioned in the FAQs.

Or you could change a unit of Sea Guard to just regular spearmen, drop the Champion on the Reavers which would give you a total of 92 points to play with. Given my math is right, your core would then be at a total of 490 though. So you would have to buy another Sea Guard or something to put it at 500pts (To reach the minimum).

That gives you ~80 points to work with where you could get some more Phoenix Guard or maybe an eagle.

Just a suggestion. List looks pretty good so far =)

I've just noticed...I wouldnt have to pay for the normal heavy armour on the Prince if I got the magical armour would I?

I'm happy with the 3rd list as long as it will have a fighting chance with dealing with the two doomwheels? Or will it just come down to the Sword Masters?

That's correct about the armour. You'll only have to pay for one of them, which in this case is the Magical armour.

Can't really comment on the skaven (or how to tackle doomwheels) cause I've never really seen them played before, nor looked them up but I do know the Sword Masters will/should be able to carve through most infantry types. In saying that though they can't do everything by themselves.

Updated HE list. Does this look balanced now?
