Why take two warlock engineers when you could take one make it a level two and give it a warp energy condenser for about the same amount of points. It would do more damage than two level ones.

You also have to take three rat ogres instead of two to make it a full unit.

Drop one of the units of slaves and make your clanrat units a little bigger to give them more bulk.

I would also give the b.s.b. some sort of armor to make him more durable.

These are my suggestions but if you feel that this list works for you do what you need to.

I would take both slave units and merge them into a bigger unit. Drop spears on the clan rats. Chieftain should have a shield. Try to get points for 3rd ogre or drop unit for more slaves. Agreed with the Lvl 2 Warlock

I know I should drop the spears off the first unit of clanrats but my army is using the IoB starter set as the base of the army

I can offer some help here.

pistol

I recommend making this guy a level 1. He will default to warp lightning so you will always get it, and then you can take the condenser to buff the spell and maybe get power dice. The pistol is cool too. But the super efficient will argue its worth.

bsb
shield

Because this BSB ha no magic banner, he should have more to help keep him alive. Maybe an enchanted shield or a ward save?

I like the clanrat blocks and weapon teams. However this list depends greatly on the weapon teams for killing output. If something goes wrong, and with Skaven, something always goes wrong, you will be left with clanrats to do the dirty work. And that's usually rough.

gutter runners (5) -65
slings

I feel the gutter runners are too small to be useful. With multishot from slings, you'd have 10 attacks at BS3 -1 assuming no other modifiers. I feel that these guys are hurt by their small numbers and should either be fleshed out to 10 or ignored. In a bigger game, add poisoned attacks to these guys so that the BS of the unit wont matter as much, since you will hit and wound together on the poisoned roll of a 6 to hit.

Doomwheel -150

Doomwheels are awesome.

Good luck.
