Drop skaven pick up a different army. If you go wound or model based they just dont stack up. You will never win a game just save your money.

Luckily these rats are rocking a pool comp

Anyway, dig the army, nice and thematic with plenty of speed, shooting and melee, which IMO is what you want in AOS. Resiliency could maybe be better? But not really Skaven's bag

Not much that you can change in this small of a pool, but I'd guess you'd want to boost the size of the night runners and gutters in a larger pool, to get that +1 to wound to kick in. That'll probably get you to 15 pool easily, then from there I guess it's how much you want to deviate from Eshin? I'd be tempted to pick up a second Deceiver myself

15 might look like this:

ESHIN CLAWPACK
Assassin (Weeping Blades)
20 Night Runners (Nightleader)
20 Night Runners (Nightleader)
20 Night Runners (Nightleader)
6 Gutter Runners
+
Verminlord Deceiver

Wish the gutters were larger, but with the way pool's add to unit sizes I couldn't just go with 15 night runners each Means the gutters are dedicated hero / war machine / monster hunters, which makes some sense given what gutters are for in the fluff. Plus means your night runners are big enough to really get some work done, as well as outnumber many units and possibly be able to hold objectives as needed. AND the unit bonus of Rend -2 if they're still 20 strong and you pop some 6's.

Thanks man, yeah 10 is a small size but it's just to get used to the comp
