So I'll be trying out 8th Edition, Skaven and Warhammer Fantasy all for the first time on Saturday. Possible enemies include Lizardmen, Empire, High Elves, Dark Elves and Orcs n Goblins. There's also a WoC player and a Brettonian player, but neither will be joining us on Saturday. Basically that's an all too detailed way of saying "I wanted to build a general takers, friendly games list". I have a good selection of models, but I wanted to see what you all thought of this list:

Skaven Salves x50
-Musician

Clan Rats x35
-Shields
-Full Command
-Plague Mortar

Clan Rats x35
-Shields
-Full Command

Weighs in at 1,500 points exactly. I have a bunch of Poisoned Wind Globadiers, Jezzails and StormVermin, but at 1,500 points I'm not sure that any are viable point efficient options. I did consider one of the skaven slave units entirely, swapping a WLC for a Doomwheel, and using the remaining points for a Trickster's Helm on the BSB (dropping the Biting Blade).

So thoughts? I'm kinda noobtastic at Fantasy lists.

I would recommend a screaming bell and giving the grey seer a power scroll. Thats at least one thirteenth spell that goes off making your opponent angry. I also enjoy setting that screaming bell in a a unit of 35+ storm vermin. its an awesome points denial tool.

6 gutter runners is a bit light. I think there are some better areas where those points could go
