For a small game it looks like you are rolling a lot of dice. I don't know anything about Skaven so it's tough for me to comment about the quality of the list.

However, my goal today is to now use "most natiest" in a sentance.

Like...That was the most nastiest strip joint I have visited.

I think in Small games, large units seem to do well. often more attacks, always outnumber, and if you can get full command, you will have a distinct advantage. 20-25 in your units of clan rats, or 18-24 and go 6 wide.

slaves, dump them to the minimum for 500pts to keep their role intact and save points for other things

Magic can be brutal in small games. so youre good there. shooting can as well. thats how your large units are protected from both is their sheer size. They cant be widdled down in time.

Jezails are great vs knights and monsters. not sure how much of either of those you will see in 500pts. maybe a ratling gun would be more effective in this size game.

I play tested this last night and I was woopin up on some Tomb kings until one unit broke and I'll be damned if the rest didnt follow suite.
