20 monks probably isn't enough to push a furnace look at 25-30 . Actually that whole units looking really fragile. Remember the furnace doesn't improve the preist survivablility.

(actually at 1000 points...try it but be prepared for it to fail. The problem is that when this unit goes so does one of txo hard hitters in this list)

Otherwise reasonably standard if a little small. Giant rats are more usefull in two units of 5/1 (better diverters and table quater capturers)
He is a good freind. He stabs in the front.

erm... what furnace? :P

First off, drop the Champion of the Clanrat unit that wont hold the Chieftain. he isnt needed. The Giant Rats should either be increased significantly or turned into several smaller units (personally in a 1k army I run 2 units of 20 with 3 Packmasters and a Moulder with Great Weapon. Deadly.)

The Rat Ogres could be fixed up too. Upgrade one of them to a Master-Bred Rat Ogre and upgrade the PM to a Master Moulder for that little extra survivability. This small unit is absolutely awesome, and I refuse to go to battle without 1 or 2 of these units supporting my Clanrats...

Really I think you need to drop 1 unit (your choice which one) in order to boost your other units. Some shooting would be nice as well...
