Im yet to buy the 8th book, so at the moment im trying to put together a legal army so i can start to order a few more things.
I know that lords have a 25% points limit, as do hero's.

What i need to know though is are there any further restrictions? (Ie: no more than 2 of the same type of hero)

So in theory, would it be possible to take 5+ engineers for skaven? (if i dont exceed the points restriction)

This should be in WFB YMDC.

But to answer the question - no, no further restrictions.

Thanks jin.

Was thinking about where to put it, i chose here simply because it was to do with structuring an army list.

Thanks again, feel free to lock this off

The trick is when you have 3-5 Engineers in each unit, along with a character that can actually do something.

Their job is to be volunteered for challenges while the killy guy works the unit down. They also make the front rank a lot tougher, simple because you need to assign individually to each and they have two wounds each...

Well, considering you can't move the command group out of the front rank for any reason, there are still holes to be had to the regular unit via the musician and unit standard bearer.

It works better with Ogres via the supporting attack rule for Monstrous Infantry

Davall, the skaven player can simply have his engineers all "Make way" to the front rank as necessary.

Actually, no you can't. Make way only work for Rank and File troop replacement, not command group. The champion, banner bearer, and musician are stuck there, forever (until removed for some reason that is, aka they die).

Therefore you will always be able to attack the unit, until all non characters are dead, if you take a command group of more than just a champion.

Reread make way!, it explicitly allows you to replace the command models.

Davall, Make Way! specifically indicates you can switch with the command group. Pg. 100.

Touche' That it does. Thank you, Sir. I shall pass that along to the group.
