Skaven Ogre by Lewis Clarke

Shotdown:
I have only played against Skaven once so far.

Mournfangs chew through slaves and clanrats. Even better when coupled with a Dragonhide banner.

Ironblasters: Very good for killing Warplightning cannons, doowmheels etc. If you can get a flaming attack on a hellpit it can also pretty reliably kill that thing.

Gnoblar Trappers: Squeak?! The bigger unit of clanrats/slaves you can get to charge these the better. Dangerous terrain tests for the win. If you also had the opportunity/forethought to Spinemarrow the unit then it will/may last two whole rounds.

Use bonecrusher or similar on Gutterrunners(?). 20 poisoned attacks from two units of these can ruin anyones day. Or use Leadbelchers, but skirmishers get an extra -1 to attack, so i used mine on targets that were easier to hit.

:Edited my first rambling:

Sazel:
I've found from my experiences that the more machines they run, the harder it is to keep your dudes alive. Get into combat asap so they can't target with most of their attacks.

Try to break Bells and Furnaces first in fights; if you don't, the rats'll hold forever...

Finally, try to avoid challenges with the generals, they've got ridiculous equipment available to them that dominates our characters (some sword that gives 10str d6 multiwounds? something like that or I was cheated lol); keep a champion around to accept first-time challenges, so that by the time the champion's destroyed, you can wreak havoc on the bunker unit, possibly even pulling off a break.

Hope it helps :S it seems to be the favorite army of the shops that I attend.

Maneater Josh:
brain gobbler
aim for leader and bsb
flank charge to negate ranks = negate + 3 leadership = negate steadfast = fleeing units
Lead belchers with banner of eternal flame for help pit hunting?
honestly bragg might work lol if someone accepts a challenge, not sure how to get that done though
scraplaunchers to thin units
mass ogres
trappers as said above is a good idea
remember fear tests, could make a massive leader ship to a low leadership army like skaven
Death magic to snipe general?

just some random ideas to throw around that might work

Talgronth:
flank charge to negate ranks = negate + 3 leadership = negate steadfast = fleeing units???

even if u disrupt and enemy by chargin the flank they still get the steadfast rule, steadfast is only baced on rank and no rank bonus.
