So I am planning out a Skaven army. I am trying to build something that will be competitive in a Tournament environment.

2000 Points even. Thoughts?

In all honesty I actually see little point in vast amounts of clanrats without things to push or weapon teams to tag along. Mind as well get even more slaves. Maybe add in some specials like gutter runners or ogres. Perhaps swap a clan rat unit for giant rats.

Seems good, but where would the grey seer go, i.e which unit?

Seer and BSB most likely in with the Stormvermin.

Ooh, that's rough then. I'd boost them up to 40 strong, at least. They're not actually any more durable than Clanrats (less, actually), and they're a much more tempting target. Especially with the two characters.

One Wizard is tough, even a level 4. I'd make one of the Engineers a Wizard and give him a Dispel Scroll or a Feedback Scroll.

I'd agree that you seem to have a lot of Clanrats, but I won't say they're not worthwhile. They actually have an armour save, and the difference between WS2 and WS3 is huge (from hitting WS5 on 5+ to hitting WS7 on 5+).

But I'd like so see some special in there. Some Gutter Runners (with their stupid poisoned slings-however that works) to go war machine hunting. Or some Rat Ogres, to, you know, rat ogre some stuff.

Oh, and pawleaders for the slave units! Nothing beats challenging a Bloodthirster to single combat with a 6 point model!

Finally, why the lone Engineer? To go with the slaves? In my opinion, if they're too far away from the general and/or the BSB, they're dead anyway.
