I vote first list but drop the weeping blade on the assassin for the blade of corruption as it is much better than the now gimp weeping blade. I would also recommend dropping the rat ogres and monks to get points and add to the censers, maybe get another unit, or stormvermin. Stormvermin and monks fill the same role and seeing as you have no plague priest I am hard pressed to find a reason to keep them. I have other opinions on the list but instead I direct you to my article in my sig.

Do you think, that every time a Plague Monk pees, he takes a S2 hit?

I voted 1st because second is a point over the limit and you would be penalised for that.

i went with the first -

one question is what is your aim from your assassin??
like Kariko83 said, check the link in his sig i found it quite helpful.
i might give the gutter runners slings - if you use the sneaky infiltrators at least they can shoot the turn they walk on.

from seeing how other tournies are playing out you main worries have to be dark elves, daemons and vampires.

vampire - an assassin with the blade of corruption would mean that you can reliably take out that regenerating vampire and will get around any problems caused by the von carstien ring.

daemons - the 13th spell combined with the warpfire thrower should help thin those plague bearer units

dark elves - the gutter runners sneaky infiltrators would mean that you can get at their blot throwers and crossbows.
Daniel cannot possibly exist in a dimensional state.

Recent studies show that people who have attempted to comprehend Daniel have either disappeared, died spontaneously, or driven themselves into a pertinent state of insanity and/or catatonia.

Go with the first list, and I agree entirely with kariko, kariko has written a very solid article that will surely benefit anyone, back to the list, i think you should fit in some more pcbs, it will give you another hard hitting unit. I also maybe wanted to see some more slaves to bulk it out a bit more. Im not too sure if 2 rat ogres will do anything, they might just get shot to bits, oh and wheres the storm banner, I really see no reason not to take a storm banner right now, as it is so broken (we should take advantage of it as much as possible before they faq it)

your comments are appreciated, the list wil be altered slightly, although it uses all my available miniatures.
