Tactix skaven vs ONG
My regular sparring partner has a cheesy little trick. There might be more to it but from memory he likes to bring a big horde of night goblin archers with a spider banner bsb. Only a small difference with the poison affect but the horde means the law of averages really catches up with me. I can never deal with the tar pit because of screening units employed against me that demand a response like mangler squigs and the like. This means they get several vollys off and often remain out of reach the whole game, decimating my units.
Im very much a rookie and he is a few levels above me in terms of grasp and tactics.
I would like to appeal to the community for ideas to deal with this.
Im not quite sure how crush embedded BSBs that are out of reach but since he loves this tactic and will most certainly do it again next game.
I imagine the go is to bring an assassin and try my luck?
Does anyone have an idea to help me counter this??
If something i have said doesnt make sense then i am probably wrong fyi. I have only ever played like 4 or so games and really struggle with the flow Ta

Hmm are you playing Warhammer Armies Project? I don't know anything about the older editions but skaven in 7th (which is what they had for 8th as well since that was their last book) only have lore of ruin and plague.

Thats right. I couldnt think of the lore names at the time but it is ruin and plague. Im running 7th with errata ammendments

Ah. I've faced that army countless times and big blocks of infantry (especially trash like night gobbos) shouldn't scare you.
A Grey seer with lore of Plague will destroy large units of low T units. Also an engineer with a doom rocket should be staple since it would be a pretty easy target to aim for. Warpfire thrower might also be worth a shot since he only has 18" range on his bows.
In general, try putting few eggs in every basket since although the shooting from that unit is dangerous for whatever it is he shoots at, he can only shoot at one thing every turn.
