Hi,
in one of my current Ork Teams my Lineman just received a double skill on his first skill up.

What would you do on an Orc Linemans first Skill with a double?

Just ignore it for Wrestle/Block?
Get Guard or Mighty Blow?
Something Fancy like Sidestep even if he most likely cant use it to full potential without guard acces and another 10 points on his way to get wrestle/block?

For the rest of the team its 4 Blitzers who took Guard (wich already was a mistake should have taken 2x guard 2x MB i think)
and an Accurate Thrower.

Doodle

Nothing quite like Guard spam. Or consider Dodge for when he gets hit.

+1 for guard

+1 guard

+1 Guard

ignore it.

IMO full rostered Orc teams have 4 Blitzers, 4 BoB, a Troll and two Throwers, that's 11 players. Why have an extra 30K value on a player that will hopefully sit the whole game.

Orc linemen are pretty much perfect where they are.

If you are going to take the team to high TV or expect to face plenty of elves then Diving Tackle is a great skill as you can team him up with a tackle Blitzer or a BoB to keep pesky blodge elves in place for a good smacking.

Also works great vs AG3 squishy players like Humans, Norse, Thralls, Hobgoblins and Amazons.

I would never field two throwers. Throwers have armour 8 and orc linemen has armour 9.

+1 guard!!

Guard, unless you're going for MB on all the Blitzers. Then Guard or MB.

I picked guard on mine and choose block tackle next. In the end I thought he didn't bring enough and I sacked him which might be a nub mistake :O

I vote if you are under 1400 guard and develop the player. If higher then forget it as hes just linefodder

quick edit.

I also like orc lineman as with av9 they fill a great slot in my team. Im not so sold on 2 throwers or gobos and the lineman is ok in my books. He feels perfect with block and at 70k that is a bargain. I value them but still question giving them anything 'sexy' as they are just meat to block a hole.

Which is what Guard is for.

You HAVE to Level up so you're going to take 20k up anyway. Guard or diving Tackle

if all 4 blitzers have guard then that is more than you need at the start in my eyes.
go dodge and let the lineorc turn into a more moblie pice that few suspect and many will learn to curse.
