Starting a new league with my Undead team

[Abator]

Well, I joined a new league and it is starting up next week. My first game is against a Skaven team. Now, I'm a pretty green player. I've had some experience playing undead, but I've never played against a Skaven team before.

Here is my lineup:
2 Mummies
2 Wights
2 Ghouls
3 Zombies
3 Skeletons

It's a pretty standard lineup, I would change 2 of the skellys for a zombie and a wight, but I don't have the figures for it yet and the league is a WYSIWYG league.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to best play this game.

Thanks.

Don't like your starting lineup , but I understand the reason. If you have some of the old Human figs- especially those cheesy pre-3rd ED. red ones you can take a blade to their helmets to make it look like long hair, dead looking paing and you have Barrow Wights right out of LotR.

Anyway, until you start getting LOTS OF TACKLE I would use the fact that most Skaven coaches seem to think they are an agility team. They aren't they are a fast team.

If he has this pattern of behaviour avoid the 1-Die hits if he is likely to dodge away. 2in6 chance of ending his turn done 2-4 times a turn starts costing.

One of the ideas that I saw for defence was to start the mummies two-three squares from the endzone to stop the gutterrunners from scoring. Although, I think wights would do the same thing with more movement.

What do you think?
