1250

Am I totally handicapping myself with no magic items at this level (1250)? I came into some extra models through a raffle, so I tried squeezing everything I could into my next Tale of 4 Gamers army period.

Looks like a pretty good list to me, but I think I see a few changes I would make.
First of all, at best you can get 7 Plague Censers into contact with your average 5-wide unit. I'd dump 3 of them to free up points for unit size increases.
The Clanrat units and Stormvermin could definitely use more bodies, I'd say 5 more each. The Plague Monks could benefit from a few extras also, but that's less of a worry, after all, they have been known to actually kill enemies.
I'd give your Chief a shield. It's dirt cheap and it takes him from a meager 5+ Armor Save to a healthy 3+.
One more thought, that Censer on the Plague Priest is risky business, both for him and the Monks I imagine you're sending him with. I'd go for a Flail, it's safer and cheaper (which might allow you another Monk or two.)

At 1250 I think the loss of magic items isn't too big of a risk. The odds of super power heroes are fairly low, and if somebody does bring one, you've probably got them outnumbered 3 or 4 to one, so you'll just run down everything that isn't where that one hero is.
