Aloha guys & gals,

So I'm looking at running the following when I play my first game in the near future, was wondering if anyone would be willing to just run through it and criticise it or just say yeah it's alright for what it is aha.

Skaven Warlord

40 Clan rats
40 Clan rats
3x Storm fiends
Warpfire thrower team
Poisoned wind mortar team

I've also got like 4 pack mastesr, a warplock engineer, 4 rat ogors, 20 plague monks and 6 giant rats (off the top of my head) I could use instead

The only thing I would change is the poison wind launcher. It's only one shot, so it's only going to hit half the time, wound half of those. Statistically it's only going to work once per game if that. For the same points you could get a 2nd Warpfire thrower which are awesome, a pack master to spread allegiance buffs through, or even 10 more clan rats. Any of them would be a better use of the points. Just my 2 cents.

At 1k I run;

Warlord on Brood Horror
40 clan rats
40 clan rats
Warpfire thrower
Warpfire thrower
Warp lightning Cannon
Total: 980

Works pretty well.

with what you have available I would play

Your weak point will be shooty lists and monsters.
Shooty lists will just take you out before you reach anything

Anything else: Play the clan rats as bubblewrap for the leaders and warpfire thrower team .give the clanrats both inspiring presence (once from the crown) . Shoot your weapons/magic empty on any threat near that would charge the bubble . Your only chance against monsters is to fire at them first and then charge them with double whipped rat ogors (the whip bonusses stack). Just try not to let the rat ogors get charged. put them inside the bubblewrap if necessary.
The Plague monks will be a harder melee unit then your clanrats and with a well timed charge they will take stuff out.
