The warlord cannot use the enchanted shield and the halbard in hand to hand. Other than that the list looks good to me.
Does it add up to exactly 1000 pts? If you have an extra 3 points you can take away the enchanted shield, buy a regular shield, buy a helmet that gives +1 armour. That way the save against shooting is the same, but combat is only 1 less.

Warlord
Personally i don't take champions like Claw leaders and i wouldn't put the spikes on the Abomb, unless you'll be facing a lot of fire casters. It won't help your regen against spells and you could do more with the extra points.
As a Skaven player i've found shaving points here and their could buy me a whole new large unit or make other units larger, keep that in mind when building lists.

Why the banner of swiftness, are you going to be facing a lot of dwarves? If you drop the abombs spikes you can afford Warbanner.
Looking for the Limited Edition Skaven Standard Bearer. PM if you know where i can get one.

That's not the point with it. If you say, meet random people to play against every time, you meet ethereals... You see the point.

And talking about points I think it would be better to add a banner of eternal flame instead of your swiftness banner. I would also exchange the Enchanted shield with a dragonhelm and, seriously, your general wont need a big ward. At this points level your opponent will focus more on magic than combat guys and you should avoid challenges anyway.

Ah, didn't realise that about the Halberd and Shield, normal Shield and Dragonhelm swapped in as suggested ;)

Well, I'll be facing Hydra's, Seaguard horde units, Empire gunline armies, Orc-tillery armies etc etc at 1000 points so they can get lost! :P

The spikes are staying for Ethereal reasons! Not sure why I chose the Banner of Swiftness really, just thought it might come in useful, swapped it for the Banner of Eternal Flame now.

The one and only game of Fantasy I've played so far I'd overlooked the Warpstone Spikes and got killed by Ethereals.....Banner of Eternal Flame is now in, not sure why I didn't take it to begin with really, and the Enchanted Shield has been swapped for the Dragonhelm as I didn't realise you couldn't use a Halberd and a Shield, going to keep the ward save for now, although after playing a few more battles I'll be able to tell if its worthwhile against the guys I regularly game with.

So here it is, my new list, critics and comments wanted so I can try and perfect it :ph43r:

Lords
Warlord (151pts)
Shield, Halberd, Hand weapon, Heavy Armour, Talisman of Preservation, Dragonhelm

Heroes
Chieftain (82pts)
Battle Standard Bearer, Hand weapon, Heavy armour, Shield, Banner of Eternal Flame

Warlock Engineer (120pts)
Hand Weapon, Warp-Energy Condenser, Wizard Level 2

Core
Clanrats x28 (216pts)
Hand Weapons, Shields, Light Armour, Clawleader, Musician, Standard Bearer, Warpfire Thrower

Skavenslaves x30 (77pts)
Hand weapons, Shields, Musician

Special
Gutter Runners x5 (102pts)
Deathrunner, Poisoned Attacks, Slings

Rare
Hell Pit Abomination (250pts)
Warpstone spikes
