Snotling Cannon?

Post by graeme27uk »

Can you throw Snotlings (or any other throwable thing for that matter) and use them as weapons by throwing them at players? This seems sensible enough for Ogres seeing as they have lots of dispensable and expendable snotlings.

I do all the time, one of the best parts of playing Ogres. It usually doesn't work, though. It's very fun though when your opponent stalls on their t7, and you throw a snotling that lands on their ball carrier and stuns them so that they can't score. I did that last weekend.

Throwing stunty players at people is fun and part of the joy of stunties.

I have had the snotling hand grenade work and it was pricelees (didnt kill the guy though).

Also at GT I had a tree try to throw a halfling at my skink, only for it to scatter onto another halfling and kill the unlucky fling.

Basicly its a great thing to do :P

Throw Snots, throw Flings, throw Gobbos. They all make great missiles.

It is defintely fun, if not effective. Making it more charactestic to ogre teams was one reason for my suggestion (link below) on another part of this board :)

Was it blur 'cos you were still drunk from the friday night sillyness? :wink:

Anyways, I believe it written in the rulebook that you must throw team mate at every opportunity. Or it is in my copy anyway......... :smoking:

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
