Started a Skaven Warmaster army, and have managed to get ahold of a Screaming Bell, Doomwheel, Warp Lightning Cannon, a Character blister, 1 unit of Jezzails and 1 unit of Gutter Runners,after a year of trolling ebay. Need some troops to fill out my army to hopefully at least 2000 points eventually, but for right now i'd be happy with one unit of Clanrats, Plague Monks and Rat Ogres. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Don't forget Skaven rat swarms! There are some for sale currently on US ebay:

I spoke to one of the Magister Militum guys at an event in the UK a couple of weeks back and they were going to be looking at something like skaven next year. It might be worth contacting them to see if they've got a schedule or some photos of greens if things have got that far.

Thank you for the responses thus far.
I have got some rat swarms, 4 units of which so I should be good up to 2K, though I'll have to see when I start playing how big a role they playin my army.
I have looked into the various Proxy options, leading to large orders with Pendraken, Kallistra, and Splintered Light. However, from all that I've turned up online regarding the Pen/Kal Ratmen line they are out of proportion with GW's 10mm, being closer to 15mm, and one person I talked to suggested I'd be lucky to fit 3 or 4 on a Warmaster base.I like their ratmen sculpts enough to get them anyway, but I'd like to have an army that looked appropriate up against my friend's GW Undead and MM dark elves.
I've seen the range of ratmen MM currently have, and while they appear to be closer to the right scale, their Range at the moment is incredibly limited and the rats look a little "nice" for Skaven, almost like cuddly hamsters with spears. But I've got a small test order in to see.
I would really like to acquire as much possible a GW Skaven army though, their sculpts are just gorgeous. To that end, I had a bit of luck on ebay just this morning for a few things, but surprisingly the unit I would have thought the most common (clanrats) seem to be the hardest to find (I guess because everyone needs lots of them).
