So, yes this idea primarily has to do with the ability of a Queek the head taker that has Skitter leap cast on him. to travel to a rear unit behind all others and target any casters.
I primarily have opponents that line their army up just in one giant line and so do I.
Using a couple warplock engineers to aquire the skitter leap, then cast it a turn before the combat begins.
Does Queek have what it takes to potentionally 1v20 a unit if its in the rear? and possibly with front support to speed up the combat?

The thing is that he's 215. honestly not much when its something that can potentially feth up your opponents battle plan. He's like throwing a wrench into their plans because he'd be out of charge area and this strategy is only taken in the event of 0 artillery, since nothing will be able to actually charge him. and he'l have the choice of which lord or champion to go after. almost like an assasin but appearingly more effective.

honestly if you just had a line of 20 man units each what would you do if something popped up right behind it?
i would thing the best thing you have is maby some rangers that'l have to move and shoot at a single man moddle making it incredabley difficult. or use magic to kill him. or mess up your line.

"if they have a few direct shooting units nearby it can still work because a) hitting a single model is hard and b) you can take a decent character with some armor who can handle it anyway." this is the point i mean when it comes to shooting and magic would be the choice when or whether or not to use it. and plus if they have a warmachine. and they attempt to hit him, just imagine of the accidental damage. right after him is your opponents soldiers, i dont think he'll want to target him.

so the only threat to this tactic is magic essentially since shooting him would be too difficult to do anything with his armor save and their bad positioning.
