Very good for a first try, but your characters could really use some work. You should probably give your Seer some gear, maybe Skalm and/or a Dispel Scroll for extra protection. Also, Skaven armies NEED a Battle Standard Bearer to keep your troops fighting for longer. Grab one with Warpstone Armour and shield to keep him alive.

For troops you could do with a unit or 2 of Slaves, and your smaller Clanrat units should be boosted to at least 30. Maybe even drop one of the smaller units in order to boost the other unit and get Slaves in there...

Besides that it looks good. Do make sure to keep your Monks and PCB's working together, as in 8th edition PCB's do suffer when taking on enemy units head on...

As has been said befor, you need a battlestandard bearer. Skaven armies without BSB are like Porsches without wheels, nice to look at but you wont go far with it.

Slings on slaves are totally useless, get more slaves instead.

Plague censer bearers are very hard to use, and even if you have some experience with setting up flank charges, they probably will not be worth their points, invest in more monks/slaves/clanrats.

A stormbanner or a unit of 6 gutterrunners with poison/slings would be icing on the cake, depending on the armies you face.

25 SLAVES!!!!
i never ever take less than 40 and even then i sometimes think its not enough
think its something to do with smashing them into dwarf warriors or longbeards
i personally prefer WFT's to PWM as weapon teams
i usually fail to hit anything with mortars although i do like them

I recommend downgrading the warlock to level 1 and removing the plage censor bearers and the slings. With those points you should be able to buy 30 slaves, 5 more slaves for your existing unit, 5 more clanrats for the smaller unit and a basic BSB.

Almost agree. :)

Delete the warlock completely, you already have a grey seer and plague priest.

Then do all of the above with more points to spend on slaves.

If you enjoy getting the 13th spell off, maybe swap skalm for a power scroll and some more warpstones. If the Grey Seer's unit keeps dying to magic, give the whole unit MR3.

I'm not a big fan of PCBs. If you don't charge with them IMO, they are dead. I would take them out and put in a huge unit of 56 slaves. That, or you can tweak things a bit and nab two blocks of 30 slaves, but I would go with one enormous horde >:]
