Well, do you think it could work? I thouhgt of a lot of PCB and rat ogres to get some punch, small units of 10 monks to fill up core units and spawns and swarms to keep enemies in place? I dont know, maybe it is a stupid idea, but i thought i would ask :)

Multiple Small Units

Common strategy used by Chaos / Dark Elf players (and Ogre Kingdoms I imagine :))

I don't know, I'd be hesitant to throw away our rank-based leadership in any situation, though I think the success of this type of army depends largely on your opponent and what type of board you're playing on.

I'd be interested to read a battle report of how it fought though.

Oh okay. Thanks.

Not really. Ranks are VERY important to Skaven. As Nilax said, I would be loathe to give up those ranks, that combat resolution and leadership.

Well, perhaps, but i mostly play against brets, with a lots of big KotR units! When he charges my monks, it doesnt matter if i have 25 or 10! He breaks them anyways. So my thought was: less victory points if they are only 10 ^_^ And then the PCBs and maybe some ogres to charge the flanks, together with, maybe, some giant rats to get some ranks. That was my original plan.

i dont know about that as skaven still rely on ranks, the plague monks dont often do many wounds, more that clanrats but still not many, so you need at least two ranks to survive combat IMO ^_^
