I've seen it take out 10+ models in a single shot and 5 or so is average on a good shot.
Once you get the knack for placing your shots you will be able to take down troops every turn, barring a misfire. (most likely a rank a turn)
Other units to look at would be the plague monks and storm vermin they are your elite inf.
A lot of people run the abomb with large blocks of slaves/clan rats
From what i have seen the abomb is a very strong unit,but i haven't try one myself.
I run a more shooty list with jezzails and lightning cannons along with poison wind globadiers
I also use warp fire throwers they are very good for the points and can really hit hard.
Post up you list after you get it done i'd like to see what you decide to play.
good luck]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556269.page GMT
Grey Seer.
Chieftain with Battle Standard.
Warlock Engineer with Doomrocket.
Skavenslaves.
Clan Rats if you are planning on fielding a Warpfire Thrower or Poisoned Wind Mortar (otherwise you might as well get more Skavenslaves).

Warp Lightning Cannon(s).
Hell Pit Abomination(s).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556747.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3556880.page GMT At least two blocks of 40-50 Slaves w/musician run 5 wide.

The rest depends on if you want your army to be zappy, casty, or slappy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3564376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3564376.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3573059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3573059.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3574277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3574277.page GMT i run a rat swarm deployed next to doomwheel that soaks any lightning that i cant stop with a LD check. As i approach the enemy i will either run the swarms into a unit or hold them back as the wheel gets close to enemy units.
Dont forget in 8th you can move backwards sideways and you can measure everything at anytime, so as you get close you can measure the enemy unit and adjust the swarm as needed.
The swarm is a few extra points that might be better spent elsewhere but being unbreakable and 5 wounds its not a bad unit at 50 points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3575202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/409793/3575202.page GMT
