We are going to do an intro game of Warhammer Fantasy during the Thursday night hobby session, a first for the group. Seth will be pitting his Warriors of Chaos against my Skaven in a 1000 point game. Seth basically has a WoC battalion + a mounted lord that he's running as an exalted hero, and I am lending him a chaos sorcerer. The battalion is basically 12 chaos warriors, 10 warhounds, 20 marauders and 5 chaos knights. I am considering the following list:
1000 Pts - Skaven Roster
Grey Seer (1#, 240 pts)
1 Grey Seer @ 240 pts (General; Hand Weapon)
Warlock Engineer (1#, 93 pts)
1 Warlock Engineer @ 93 pts (Level 1 Wizard; Hand Weapon)
1 Warplock Pistol
1 Warp-Energy Condenser
Clanrats (77#, 475 pts)
24 Clanrats @ 210 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Spear; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Clawleader (Hand Weapon; Spear; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Poisoned Wind Mortar Weapon Team (Poisoned Wind Mortar; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour)
24 Clanrats @ 133 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Clawleader (Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
24 Clanrats @ 133 pts (Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
1 Clawleader (Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield)
Warp-Lightning Cannon (1#, 90 pts)
1 Warp-Lightning Cannon @ 90 pts
1 Engineer & Crew
Warplock Jezzails (5#, 100 pts)
5 Warplock Jezzails @ 100 pts (Hand Weapon; Warplock Jezzail)
Total Roster Cost: 998
I don't have a lot of experience with WoC. Is this list going to roll him badly? With so few models I am afraid the war machines will decimate him, something I don't want to do in a starter game. I also know that those warrior and knight blocks will eat clanrats like The King of Town at a chinese buffet. Any thoughts, readers? Is there balance, or would you play something different? Drop the cannon or the engineer and play some slaves perhaps?

The chaos player is going to be in trouble - just not enough figures listed to fill out the army. The Knights will be easy pickings for the Jezzails/Warp Cannon/Sorcerer. Maybe you can find a way to proxy up a second unit of warriors? Even having a front row of warriors and a back row of bases might work.
