Definitely a good start.

Suggestions:

The desolate blade is a waste of points. Either take the great weapon, which is almost identical, or take a weeping blade. I would not recommend taking the warplock pistol, with the warlord's low ballistic skill it is a useless weapon.

Two warlocks is all that is necessary in 2000 points. You cannot take two storm daemons as they are arcane items and you cannot have duplicate arcane items in your army. Certainly take the first warlock you have listed. For the second you could give him the cloak and globes, dispel scroll and extra tokens, or dispel scroll and charm. With the extra points, purchase a BSB with the warbanner. They are incredibly helpful.

Rat swarms are simply not worth their points with the new crumbling rules. Drop them and use the points to expand your clanrats to 29-30 each and to purchase either another unit of 30 clanrats and another unit of 20 slaves or a large unit of plague monks.

A unit of 3 jezzails is very vulnerable to panic, it would be better to combine them into one unit of 6.

Also can someone explain the best way to place my warlord. I start off placing my slaves, then clanrats -> Warlord and assassin in the middle 2 and rattling gun squads on flanks (is this wise?). Then My Jezzails behind them. My PWG's inbetween my Clanrats. Where would be smartest to put in the warlord? Or tot take out the assassin and put him in THAT squad?

Back to retirement!

Looking good, but a few points that need to be said:

Your army is illegal. You can only have 4 characters in a 2k game. Drop the Assassin, as he is overpriced for his abilities, and has not been given the best wargear. Overall, he is the least useful of your character choices...

I'd also say drop the Slaves back to 21. They are essentially cannon fodder, and much more than 21 just isnt worth it. Why increase a unit that is just designed to die? I say have units of 21 because then you need 6 deaths to panic, rather than 5...

Make Jezzails into 2 units of 6, once again for Panic purposes...

I don't know what you could get from the points saved from the Assassin and Slaves... Maybe a Warp lightning cannon, or some Giant Rats for flanking, or Night Runners to run interfearance and protect flanks...

Overall though the list is looking nice, and once the extra character is taken out it will be a very potent list indeed...

Looks excellent with those changes. My only recommendation would be to reduce the size of the nightrunner squads. 15 will be hard to maneuver and will cause panic if they flee through friendly units. Dividing them into 4 squads of 5-6 and using the extra points for a banner (warbanner or banner of the swarm) for your BSB would be a good idea.
