Main tactics;
Skerscrat has a whopping 10 attacks, so I plan to keep him around in the unit of 35 Clanrats
The Assassin goes where appropriate depending on what army I'm playing (in other words I haven't decided)
Scrawlbanner goes with the slaves, forcing them to drink the brew and creating a tarpit
Nightrunners flank around
Gutter runners used where apprpriate as scouts/sneaky infultrators

I'd love your advice etc, please comment
