A few days ago it was my Brothers Birthday so in all nature I got him an Ork big 'ard battleforce as well as the Island Of Blood Set. So after a few hours the WHFB battle was ready I was playing skaven (despite the fact I play High Elves) and He was feilding the High Elves. Rather foolishly I told about flanking with the faster units . However I discovered that he couldn't flank me! My skaven were all fine in perfect distance of each other but because of my tight pack formation he failed.

So cut a long story short Tight-Knit against fast/flanking type armies.

Also don't play skaven the fail

You're kidding, right? Skaven are arguably the most overpowered army in the game right now should you write the list as nasty as you can. Even if you don't write it as nasty as you can, even a moderately-optimized army is still tough on different levels and provides a good deal of flexibility.
