How do i beat Skaven as Orcs?
I know Orcs suck balls right now but i can't seem to beat Skaven at all, everything they have is just far too superior to Orcs.

In my campaign ( hard difficulty) i've got 1 settlement which is Oreons camp and i'm on the run from Skaven plus they have allied with Khemri so the entire bottom half of my map is trying to kill me! As the Skaven are attacking Black Crag a massive portion of the factions are friendly with the Skaven so it is literally just me they're up against.

What do?

Play on a lower difficulty?

Aside from that, cavalry would be your best bet as you will need them to shut down ranged troops. Nasty Skulkers would be useful for sneaking up on artillery and non Eshin ranged units.

The Orcs ARE at the moment weaker than the Skaven.

The reason for this is that the Orcs haven't received an update yet that would make them equal to other factions like Skavens or the Empire that were recently updated via DLC+Update.

The next Lord Pack will probably be High Elves vs Greenskins, which will bring both factions up to date.

So you're best bet for defeating the Skavens would be to lower the difficulty or wait for the new DLC.

There are also a lot of great guides for the Orcs on the internet that could maybe help you.

I would recommend the following:

Well for starters, the lowly *goblins* are better than any unit in the Skaven roster; expendable with silver shields. That right there is enough to bamboozle the AI's weapons teams and slingers. The rest is trash the boyz and a few rock lobbers can mop up in melee.

Orcs in campaign are carried by trolls. use orc boys stack and a couple of trolls which charge after your boys start fighting. Trolls have superior combat stats with regeneration and extremely high melee damage + armor piercing. Always support trolls with boys which envelope around them and protect them from being surrounded.

Trolls will give you an early game power spike.
