Now about Rat Ogres

How you use them? They're not really front-line material, that's for sure. But I found (IMHO, at least) them to excellent flankers. Divide your Rat ogres in two groups and put them on both flanks with Hold and Attack rearmost troops. If it works, thye should succeed in a pincer maneouver and make the enemy rout.

This stragedy can also be complimented by Death Mages casting Frighten/Fear.
Dont use em as front-line Material . I Use em on the flanks. Y use Rat Ogres for attacking rear and not StormVermin or Eshins .. A couple Ap's slower but same morale and id say more survivability without the hassle of gathering Ogres ..

Rat ogres are pretty good I feel - they totally mince up medium/light troops, they can handle high def troops such as cavalry (not knights) better than most skaven and they are quite unlikely to rout. They are best used as either hold and attack shock troops or as flankers.

If you go blood with skaven you can also summon them in quite some numbers - far more effective than going for the one from a master moulder each turn (those are just for shoring up armies, not really for mass production). Bear in mind that they are stealthy (like the rest of your armies) which is rare in such powerful units and they also have a fun graphic ;]
Maybe im just having bad luck or using em wrong.. And im going the blood route not the master moulder summoning one .

And yes the graphic is fun
