I think at 1500 points you should either go for plague monks OR for stormvermin. But not both. And since you're using the furnace, i would advice you to us the monks.
Looks good enough for the rest though. Go kill something !

Stormvermin are good for filling up core.

I suggest you should recalculate the points cost of your units first.......

Stormvermin is not good at filling up core because you always want more slaves and Clanrats

I agree with Hong, this is not a Tomb kings army where we're trying to fill up the core to the minimums so we can get to the cool stuff. we win by have alot of guys. Our core is pretty awesome. Slaves maynot look it, but they are the workhorse of our army. They are nigh unbreakable prepared right and they will stop just about every thing in it's tracks.Don't count them out because of poor stats. SiN lets us do amazing things. Also, I don't know if the furnace is such a good Idea for a general. He will already attract alott of attention. But now =the source of your leadershipbuble is there too. well that just makes it an easier target. The slaves need to be atleast 40 strong. They are expected to die in drove and you need the ranks for steadfast.

Get rid of the furnace.
Get rid of the stormvermin
Get a grey seer and make him your general.
Take a stormbanner on the BSB

Use the remaining points for slaves, clanrats and/or other special choices (like a doomwheel)

So completely change my list from its original Idea even though I like the plague furnace and the storm vermin? I could replace the furnace with a grey seer and sure up the plague monk numbers but I really like that model.

50 plague monks and a grey seer or 35 plague monks plus furnace.

If you have your own idea sure have a go at it. The most important thing is if you can play it right. ;)

You know what man, The furnace is my favourite models too. It looks cool and dinamic. But it functions as a vital hammer unit also. Its what you 'use to break tough nuts. But it will take a lot of fire. People wnat it dead. People want it dead because it will wreck some ish. use it.

It's important to use what you want to use and not just bend over to cheese (operative term) for the sake of it.

However, you need to learn how to use what you choose or you will most-definitely lose.

Wow, that was a mouthful.

Hmm, a plague furnace at 1500 points? Interesting idea, you will obviously need:

stormbanner
at least 2 units of gutter runners
probably a shadow magnet on the plague priest himself (if you are playing against elfs or lizardmen)

in addition, you will need a 3rd character (BSB, plague priest and a seer or a warlord) as you need someone to be your general (BSB must not be General and the plague priest will not survive the game).
When taking a plague furnace, a mere unit of 35 plague monks should prove sufficent.
