I'm doing a team game with high elves against WOC and dark elves. The only special thing is me and the high elves are counted as trusted allies.

He is running the everqueen with all life spells, bsb with her banner, in a 50 man spear unit, a lvl 2 mage with metal, 5 dragon princes with a star lance and 10 sisters of Avalon with a bow that is +1 strength.

I was planning on running this:
Lords:
Queek
Heroes:
Chieftain
-BSB (Banner of Swiftness)
-Great Weapon
Warlock Engineer
-Lvl 2
-Warp energy condenser
Core:
50 Clan Rats (shields and spears)
-FC
50 Skaven Slaves (shields and spears)
-FC (Musician and champ)
Special:
50 Plague Monks
-FC (Plague Banner)
Rare:
Doomwheel
Warp Lightning Cannon

Queek is with the plague monks
Chieftain is with clan rats
Warlock is with slaves

Does this sound like a solid list?

Only because you are taking queek, I might drop a few monks and change the clanrats to the upgraded stormvermin.

I don't think it's possible to take 2 rare units, or is it? If I remember correctly, you can take one rare unit under 2000 points, and for every 1000 points you can take another.

But overall, nice list!

You've been out of the game a while huh? haha

Drop the spears on the Clanrats
Drop all equipment on Slaves
Keep the warlock out of the slaves (otherwise you can't shoot into the slaves)

Take Rat darts redirectors or MOAR SLAVES !

ALright well first off I would not take queek he is pretty pricey....just like all the other names charatcers :p For the price you pay for him I would take a grey seer instead.

I like the bsb other than the magic banner on it. Engineer is fine as well.
I would not take spears on the clanrats but that is your choice. I wouldn't take a champ either just the musician and banner. I would take all the stuff off the slaves and the rares look good. I am unsure about plague monks though. They don't have an armour save which suuuuuucks but they are good so either that or storm vermin your choice on that.

This is what I would do for 1500 points based on what you have.

Lords
Grey Seer, Talisman of preservation 285

Heros
Chieftain, Halberd, BSB 72
Warlock Engineer, LVL 2, Warp Energy Condensor 120
Warlock Engineer, doomrocket 45

Core
40 Slaves, musician 82
40 Slaves, musician 82
40 Clanrats, musician, standard 172
50 Stormvermin, musician, standard 365

Rare
Doomwheel 150
Warp Lightning Cannon 90

Total 1463

I left a few extra points so you could also add a talisman to the BSB so that he has some sort of ward save which might be a good idea. You could also increase the unit size of slaves or clanrats your choice.

I would put the BSB into the stormvermin (since he has a halberd etc) I would also put the Grey seer in it as well or possibly in the clanrats with the lvl 2 engineer and have them behind the safety of the other units.
The engineer with the doomrocket I would just put him on the board alone just in case it goes wrong and he blows up in a large template haha.

Grey seer is just a great thing to have at this point value in my opinion to have the dreaded thirteenth. Against Warriors of Chaos you are going to get destroyed if you get into close combat haha
I would also recommend that your partner who is taking the High Elves take some Swordmasters or White lions. The Dragon Princes will probably die quickly against some warriors.
You also might want to tell him to consider taking lothern seaguard instead of spearmen.

Against WOC you want to wait in the field and shoot at him and cast lots of spells to destroy the units and make them smaller before they get into combat with you. With that in consideration you might want to take a second WLC instead of the doomwheel or you can even take a Hellpit abomination and the WLC. That would just need some flipping and working on the list.
Those are my 2 cents let me know if you think it would work or if you like it.

I really like that last list. I'm modified it slightly because of what my teammate is running. I guess I overvalue queek to much but in my test game queek raped a life bunker toughness 7 bull crap in a challenge but failed there leadership and got ran down. My next purchase idea is a HPA.

Glad you liked it! Yes Queek is pretty overpirced for what he does....he isn't bad by any means but he is just costly when comparing it to a grey seer which has greater potential for damage output.
Ya the Hellpit Abomination is awesome, I use it whenever I can because it packs a huge punch and the regeneration save for it is amazing and it has a 1 in 6 chance of staying alive if it does die haha I like to use it to line up with other monsterous creatures and even heavy cavalry depending on the unit size.
