Hmmm...

Skelies in the Front, with Flanking Ushabti

They usually destroy anything they charge. My sure fire way to catch and destroy them is.

D = bait unit
C = catcher unit
U = ushabti or bone giant

Just make sure the catcher unit isn't something that will give up too much combat res. Single tomb swarms are good for this and they are easy to get in position.

divert them and flank them is your best bet. A unit of tombguard with a hero with scorpion armor works well, just keep the character safe (even in 2nd rank if you must) and just place half the access wounds on that char. TK with destroyer of eterneties works well too.

You have cheap fast cav. use em to bait the BK's and hit em in the flank. Remember that they must always overrun and must charge if there is a chargable unit in range. Most good players will screen the BK's with bats or wolves, they should be your shooting/magic priority so you can set em up with the fast cav.

You could take a tomb king with the flail of skulls, put him in a unit of chariouts with the icon of +1 to hit on the charge, and just straight up charge that unit on the flank.

You win. GG.
