It looks almost as my skaven horde so I cannot really suggest any changes except perhaps consider swapping the Jezzails with Rat Ogres for more hitting power and I only have used the warplighting canon once and unsuccessful so I do not know it is should put my faith in it but in case of large monsters I think it would be wise.

i would swap the rat swarms, as they are not much good without posion and two of them will die easily + the gutter runners who have no extra equipment. For those 150 Points i would get 3 rat ogres much more hitting power and alkso look scarier on the battlefield, physchology in warhammer plays a big part like which model is biggest, it may not be the best but it can make the enemy change their tactics, also the warp lighning cannons can deal with the odd war machine so the tunneling teams aren't worth the points and the risk you take using them. I would try and bulk out the clanrats and slaves to 30 models in each for the extra men to outnumber and also to take shots, and also to do with the physcology 30 slaves look scarier than 21! :eek:

...*cough*
Well, *cough*S.A.D.!*cough*, you are probably not going to notch up top sportsmanship scores for this army. Since at Conflict, soft scores are an issue, I would say you might want to reconsider the sheer volume of Skryre stuff you've taken. Also, can you take a unit of just four Gutter Runners? Surely the minimum unit size is five?

i would agree with chilli on the *cough*S.A.D.!*cough*, just remember it's conflict and not the main tournament so try to remember that the opponent needs to enjoy the game aswell, i don't mean let them win, just think if you were the opponent how boring it would be to come up against 9 jezzails, 3 warlocks and a warp lightning cannon, FUN! -_-
maybe take of the WLC and bulk up your gutter runners to a tunneling team of 5 and another of ten (no tunnels) with throwing stars?
theres my bit take it or leave it ^_^

If I played an army like this I'd slate it on softies. Though I think my list could beat it it's a boring army and one that nobody will want you too play. Read chili's posted for more.

like i said bulk out the slave and clanrat units, and to your question lord chilli yes and no... Yes if it is a tunneling team(3+), no if it is a normal unit(5+), i think it would fun to use some of the new plague monk plastics instead of so many jezzails, plus the more jezzails you have in one unit the more likely they are to get wiped out in one go. This army would not be cheesy fluff wise if it were a skyre list, but would still be no fun to play against, i normallly just take what looks like will be most fun to play with and against and create an army list out of it for my skaven. :thumb:

I like the list. I don't see why everyone dissaproves of it... Contrary to what everyone else is saying, i would not have a problem going againt this army. I would drop a few slaves and add on a couple gutter runners though.
