I've played against ogres before, and beaten them a few times. In larger games my army becomes very goblin heavy and I don't own any sort of artillery pieces, so it kind of poses a problem as far as being able to charge goes. Any advice would be kinda great for me. Also, skaven can be a bit of a problem too sometimes, maybe a little advice on them as well?

Ogres:

Fanatics, fanatics and more fanatics.
8 in 2000-2250 is generally accepted at tourney in OZ as not too OTT. if you are putting one in a unit of NGs, put in 2 instead as the minimum.

Fo NGs, nets are also a great option reducing regular bull attacks to St 3.

Ogres only have the gnoblar trappers as fanatic releasers so deploy so they can't scout near you.

Bolt throwers. 4 in an army will still allow for other special choices and you should be hitting half the time.

Giants- just avoid the tenderiser armed tyrant. Hell take 2 and run them up the flanks.

As for skaven, can't help wih O&G, not enough experience in that match up.

Alright, Orcs and goblins vs Scaven

This is really a battle of strategy. There are very few tricks that work well here.

Overall composition, the scaven will have a small numbers advantage both in number of models and units. However, orc/goblin units tend to be large themselves.

Orc shooting will do a grand total of almost nothing. The exceptions are stone throwers which could hurt blocks of guys and the doom diver which is the only thing that has a chance of killing jazzeles (so I would take 1)

In terms of chars yours will kill his, no question. Orcs are just more powerful. Magic is also something you need to have as scaven magic will cause you a pain and your magic will be able to kill the ratling guns as well as cause random other problems for him.

In terms of strategy the best bet is to make him fight you unit on unit. Scaven go for flanks and you cannot allow that to happen. In a front on fight you will usually win through toughness 4. To acomplish this take lots of units and spread them across the table. Then advance in a line with the flanks going faster than the middle (but not to much faster or they get flanked themselves).

Cav dont always work at breaking his lines because the jazzeles will murder them prety quickly and the slaves get in the way.

Hoard on hoard is really is a match of strategy.

Alternitavally you could just take 4 big units of boar riders but I wouldnt recomend it as the slaves will mock you with their bait and flank.
