Well then:
Skaven. primer brown, dip, detail squeak mightily.

I say you deviate from the norm, and base them on tile with clean robes in good repair. Lab Rats!

now lab rat skaven sounds like a doghouse project!

I'd have to say skaven purely on them being the first fantasy army i ever saw, and i still hold some interest in them :P

Use Giant Rats in the army, a nice unit of 21 with pack masters and that Special Character Skweel (?) in too, throw in a spell which makes them better (forgot what it was, gives them an extra attack) and you'll have a lethal unit!

Concentrate on blocks of Clanrats and make sure you have a BSB for re rolls on them LD tests, important for Skaven.

If you want to play cheese, get a Hellpit abomination. Evil...

Cheers

Your strength with skaven lays in the mass of furr. So go for a lot of clanrats and slaves. That will make the difference.

I shouldn't go for the most nasty stuff, as it are the low troops who will get you to the victory.

Go for it!
