2 catchers
1 wardancer
8 linemen

2 re-rolls
fan factor 3 ( i realised that i couldnt increase this after i had spent all my money)
apothecary

one of the lineman has block and dodge

i have a one general or agility skill to pick for the thrower and catcher

any advice please

I have thought about diving catch and hail mary pass but iam not sure?

Accurate for the thrower & block for the catcher.

Any advice on what to spend them on :wink:

1 catcher has catch dodge block agility of 5 can choose 1 more gen/ag 8)

wardancer after being resurected with the apothacary :( has already got block/dodge/leap mighty blow has 2 more to choose from gen/ag

thrower has pass and acurate throw can choose 1 more from gen/ag

unfortunately my winnings were donated to charity for a FF of 4

LEAP! Definitely Leap!

Tackle and Side Step!

Sure Hands perhaps?

Pray and save for a 2nd Wardancer! 8)

For the catcher it depends on the league.

Lots of passing teams makes Pass Block very tempting (intercept on a 4+ with a reroll).

Leap is good for going over defences of bashing teams (but often you can dodge through them anyway), or taking a "shortcut" rather than going around.

Other options are Sure Hands (to get the ball out of sticky places) and sidestep to stop you getting bashed around as much.

Thanks for all the help. I wont be playing for another week or so.
As i will be playing orcs next, who im sure will be going all out to destroy my star players. I will give my catcher side step as this might help him stay alive? :(

My thrower I have given sure hands to help him pick up the ball.
As for my wardancer tackle and sure step should do it. :)

My team are not at all hard, prefering to stay well out of trouble :o

In our league we have a Skaven, Human , Orc , Dark elf we play each other twice. I have already played the Skaven twice and the Dark Elves once as well as the Humans, Orcs are next and they battered the Skaven :oops:


Ill let you know what happens. We should also be starting the cup games soon. Any advice as always much appreciated.

Pass Block would seem tempting then. Remember that Skaven are very adept at moving, handing off and scoring. Aggressive blitzing skills are useful against this, but also as a general tactic try and spread your defence.
