Send it into the thick of it
Skaven infantry is cheap and breaks easily. The Abomination gives the army a monster that can push into the enemy line while Clanrats keep the rest of it busy.
Its Too Horrible to Die ability gives it a chance to keep fighting after it seems finished. Even so, avoid feeding it into a crowd of anti-large troops.
Where it comes from
The Hell Pit Abomination was confirmed for the Skaven base roster in Warhammer II and needs developed Skaven monster recruitment.
Throt the Unclean leads Clan Moulder, the clan most closely tied to these creatures, but other Skaven factions can recruit them through their own buildings.
A Skaven swarm
Clanrats and Stormvermin hold the line, weapon teams and artillery shoot, and the Abomination breaks through where the enemy commits.
Queek, Skrolk, Ikit Claw, Snikch, Throt, Tretch and Thanquol all lead Skaven campaigns. Clan Moulder leans hardest into monsters.
