Few nitpicks...

Nix the gutters, shooting is out of place in this list.

Give the warlord a 4+ ward, either armor of destiny or the talisman.

Ack! Shields on slaves! Never kit slaves with anything, I don't care what the model looks like.

Kill off a few stormvermin to make those slaves 2x30, you'll want more than one unit. I think it will cost 4 storms to do that.

Other than that, solid small list.

Keep in mind that the HPA and lord will be your only source of decent strength. High armor will give this list problems. Your magic defense will be low as well. You may want to consider a priest on a furnace with a dispel scroll and 5+ ward and censer instead of the warlord. You'll have to free up 100 ish points (the gutters and slave shields will get you 89, yay), but the monks will hit a lot harder and be unbreakable, and you'll have magic defense to boot.

CHEERS BROCK!! quick reply much appreciated

So you want me to eradicate gutter runners and shields on slaves, and invest in plague priest on furnace and 2 smaller units of slaves. Sweet, these are my issues...

- the LD 7 bubble, i can see the Warlord supporting 3 units not 4 with this bubble am i wrong? I can this like nids, over streatching your synaps creatures

- I'd like to add pressure to combat his range units, they stood at the back bombarding me with a repeater bolt throwers ... they hurt when a lvl 4 mage is in the unit. So am i wrong about throwing gutter runners to slow/injure the unit?

I'll admit my main opponent loves his magic, so it would be helpful to minimize his magic my having a lvl 2 warlock. You are definitely right with the slaves, what was i thinking may as well sink the points to better use, cheers.

Gutters are a good but expensive way to deal with war machines, you gotta go big or go home, they would have to be 10+ with slings and poison.

As for the LD bubble, it might be a little annoying to manage but put your general near the center of your army and it shouldn't be too bad.

Also if you run the furnace, take a storm banner on the stormvermin.

Okay cool, i'll have a few matches with 5 gutter runners if they work, i'll use them. Otherwise i'll invest in a razor banner and more smaller units of slaves

Is getting a unit of 15 ginat rats to flank a good idea, they're cheap, small faster and wont break and explode

[BrockSamson]

They don't count towards core. Slaves are cheaper, and honestly, exploding usually hurts my enemy more than me.
