no, as said earlier, the Rat Ogre unit(including PM as they count as causing fear or something) is greater than the enemy unit then the fear would apply....
ONLY 3 TENTACLES.....add more warpstone.

Only rat ogres cause fear, so add up the US contributed by the rat ogre models only - at US3 per model, if you outnumber your opponent with that, then they autobreak - but you are talkin' a big rat ogre unit or small enemy unit for that to happen.
Mostly harmless

sorry about that, packmasters count as being immune to fear, thought it was that they caused fear, my bad sorry.....

OK you outnumber as you havve more models, so you get the +1 combat rez. However you don't get the fear part as our fear causing unit does not outnumber the enemy.

best use for rat ogres ive found recently is to take two single pack and put one on each side of your generals clanrat unit. A single rat ogre is so small it tends to get ignored. All of a sudden youve got 6 strength 5 attacks plus all of the static combat res you could want when you charge (with the clanrats and both packs obviously). In addition theres only 1 model in base contact with each ogre so as long as each ogre kills 1 model no one can target the vulnerable ogre and instead have to go after the numerous clanrats. A lot of people like to use them in conjunction with giant rats for the speed factor but Ive found clanrats with their banner work better for me.

er... That doesn't work does it... a rat Ogre should have 4 models in contact with it.. 2 because it's base is twice the size of a standard infantry man and 2 diagonally. So you would have to kill 4. Also each unit is only unit strength 4 so can't cancel ranks.

Mutate: Unless you mean charging the front in with the generals unit which case you are right and I'm a numpty.

Im not talking about it getting on the flank. Im solely talking about clanrats/ogre on the charge. As you can see the rat ogre is only in contact diagonally with 1 model.
