Hey there, I'm very new to fantasy and I have yet to play a game in the 8th ed so all advice is welcomed.

Dunno about this. I'd rather have a warlord for the General, and a couple of Warlock Engineers as the magic. Skaven Magic is nice, but not overwhelming. In low point games, don't buy the expensive and dangerously vulnerable point sink that are Grey Seers

Chieftain 77
Halberd, enchanted shield, BSB

Add another Chieftain. And you should have a magic banner here. Storm Banner is best if you face shooty armies.

3x 25 clan rats 165 ea.
Shields, musician, ratling gun

1x40, 1x35 rats here.

MORE. Fifty to a hundred! With the cheap Chieftain for some spine!

shields, full command Storm Banner (chieftain goes here)

Remove. Not worth the points spent elsewhere. If you insist, take 20 - free up points for above. Allows you to keep the 3rd Ratling gun the consolidation above removed.

21 giant rats 77

Good. It gets Great when you add Squeel Gnawtooth.

Hellpit 235

So tell me what you think, I am not sold on the grey seer though i like the model a lot.

Clan rats should be 6x5 for thirty (six wide, five deep). 40 Should be 10 wide, four deep, or 6x6 with leftover rank of 4. 5 is a bit narrow, limits your attacks. 6 or 7 wide for 20mm bases is best in my experience.
