That's a pretty good list. Just a couple of things you're missing: a hammer unit (something that will kill things) and a BSB (this is a must!).

I would drop one Engineer for a BSB. Skaven really, really need those re-rolls.

For a hammer unit your're already halfway there. Mount your general on a Plague Furnace and you have your missing hammer, an unbreakable bunker ans 18" LD range.

I'm looking for Dark Eldar to convert into DE. Also looking for bretonnia lances and halberds. If anyone has any they would be interested in trading PM me and we can work something out.

Around that unforgettable rodent army a whole separate cycle of myths revolves, for it scattered among the village homes and brought curses and horrors in its train."

You should be alright. Engineers aren't all that wonderful. Even with the two you have only one is a mage so you wont be hurting yourself by dropping the non-magic one. In the end a BSB is 100% more useful than an engineer.

to give you an idea of JUST how useful a bsb is...

taking a leadership test on leadership 10 once has a 1/12 fail rate.

with a reroll, that chance is reduced to 1/144

Having an Engineer as your general is rather interesting and not too recommended I don't think. Low toughness means he's way easier to kill, low Leadership means that you're not really adding any of the much needed LD bonuses to the army. A Chieftain would be way better.

The shields on the stormvermin aren't necessary since they'll be fighting with halberds in CC and with enough models in the unit shooting shouldn't be an issue.

better to drop the shields and the lvl 2 warlock add a chieftain with say: Enchanted shield, Foul Pedant, Biting Blade. That'll leave you with 85 pts to upgrade your existing engineer to a lvl 2.

You'll have a survivable general with decent LD, a lvl 2 mage and a BSB. Everything you need.

Other than that it's a good list. Maybe heavy on the Gutter Runners though. Usually I find that one unit works well in 1500-2400 point games.

How many units of slaves do you have? And how large are they? Hard to tell from your list.

Looks good other than that. Now all you have to do is play with it and see if you like it.

@Scarecrow I was in hurry so did not write everything in good way..

Chieftain - Gen / The Foul Pendant / Ench. Sh. / Biting Blade
Chieftain - Bsb / Hal / Sh/ Storm banner
Eng - 2lvl / Doom Rocket

30 Storm- FCG / Banner of the ethernal flame
40 Clanrats - FCG
44 Slaves - music
43 Slaves - music
6+1 Ratdarts
5+1 Ratdarts

Im thinking to get rid of Cheftain the general and reduce gutter runners to minimum, and maybe make clanrats smaller to, and get Grey Seer ?
With that equipment:
General; Magic Level 4, Dispel Scroll, Talisman of Preservation

You can try that, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Right now You have a pretty solid list. Make what ever edits you want but keep this list and the next time you play try both of 'em out. But this looks pretty solid IMHO. Good luck with it.
