So this is a little different than my normal lists. The Seer hangs back with the Clanrats as a bunker; I just couldn't stomach keeping the unit at a bare 20. My main concern is the units of Stormvermin and Plague Monks. Do you guy think units of 30 are enough at this point value? I'm also considering trying to squeeze in either:
- another unit of Giant Rats
- a Deathrunner with smoke bombs
- a Warp Energy Condenser
Mainly, I want a varied, all-comers list, with a little more close combat potential than anything else, and I simply MUST have at least 200 models.
So what do you guys think?

lol i see you put in the ruby ring of ruin in the list as i got on my list no bsb or did you forget to write it on ur chef, also it looks similar to mine tbh, i have also noticed have you have got 6 gurrer runners for anti lone hero and atry killing? also if i my asj is it worth adding plage monks into my 1500 pts list if so how shal i add them in its frustating me and also how many. and one more question what rank size do you tend to go for? as i noticed you got 30 storm vermin are tet 6 wide by 5 deep? sorry for asking questions in your thed just i want to have a chance at winning the torny and im not sure on some things as i played 40k for a year ;p; Ii get my first lot of models tomorrow so i shal be joining the rat ranks

I'm a big fan of Stormvermin. 30 is enough but I would try for more.

@Relictor88: yeah, I never included the Ring in the past, since I ran with a Warpfire Thrower. But 25pts is a mite cheaper than 70, if all you're looking for is some small way to knock off Regeneration. Which I am.
And yes, my Chieftain is my BSB. I forgot to put the upgrade on there because, honestly, there's no reason to take him if that's not what he's doing.
Also, that is exactly what my Gutter Runners are for. 12 poisoned sling bullets should make short work of enemy war machines. Or 12 close combat attacks.
As for Plague Monks, I'm not completely sure (see my question above). I'm thinking that 30 is as low as you want to go for Skaven "elite" infantry.

@Brometheus: what would you recommend dropping to make room for 5-10 more Stormvermin?

Giant Rats.. I am not a fan of monstrous infantry but that's more personal preference than anything else. Or Gutter Runners?

Seriously personal preference. Not sure that dropping something for more Stormies would make a big deal but it's just what I would do.

Of course what I mean to say is that the list as-is is perfectly viable and making minor changes would not make it better or worse.. It seems solid.

For the record, those Giant Rats are the S3 T3 A1 ones, not S5 T4 A3 Rat Ogres. Hence why they're only 23pts for 5 + a Packmaster.
I'd consider dropping the 'Runners, since I have the Storm Banner, but they're just so versatile.

I'll probably try it out as it is. If I need 5 or more extra Storm Vermin, I'll probably need as many more Plague Monks. Thank you for your input!

OH! I don't think I've had a brain fart that big in a while, excuse me

Then yes. Runners would be my choice to bench. Sorry!
