Attack from another direction
Use Night Goblins where terrain and the rest of the army let them approach a useful target. When Orc Boyz occupy the front, move an unengaged Goblin regiment toward a side instead of stacking it behind friendly infantry.
A flanking plan still needs protection. Watch for mounted enemies that can reach the Goblins before they engage, and keep a supporting unit close enough to respond. Move away from an isolated fight when the main army cannot help.
Core troops and distinct variants
Ordinary Night Goblins belong to the core Greenskin roster from Total War: Warhammer and use Goblin recruitment buildings in Immortal Empires. They fit Skarsnik's Goblin army while Orc recruitment is locked behind Karak Eight Peaks.
Night Goblin Archers and Fanatic entries have different battlefield jobs. Read the actual recruitment entry before assigning orders: a bow regiment needs shooting time, while a melee regiment needs a route into combat.
Skarsnik and the rest of the army
Skarsnik's Crooked Moon campaign gives Goblin troops a central role. Keep enough infantry together to support Skarsnik and Gobbla, then use another unit to threaten an exposed side.
Snagla Grobspit is a Forest Goblin Legendary Hero with separate DLC and recruitment requirements. His character-hunting tools can create an opening, but the infantry still needs to reach and surround the target.
