I would probably go with Guard on both of them. But my skaven experience is nil.

A lot depends on the league you play in.

If there are lots of passing teams then Foul Appearance on both may be handy.

If there are more strength teams then Claw can help even up the numbers and Guard helps a lot with blocking (1 of each?)

If you've got (or intend to take) a Rat Ogre take Leader - as he can use the RR.

To increase survivability dodge is good as you know you can get Block next.

well for linerats you can't really expect them to live long or do anything especially productive, so give them both claws and use them to do some damage before they go.

or if you wan't to try to make them actually USEFUL, give them an extra head so they can dodge around on a 2+ and maybe even stay alive awhile.

Foul appearance, the both of them.

if you take guard on your speedbumbs, you might be playing the wrong race.

it has a chance of keeping them alive and it completely screw over passing teams if used right. what more do you need?

I agree. It used to be that there were three excelent mutations for linerats: regeneration, foul appearance and hypnotic gaze. Now that two of those are racial caracteristics, foul appearance is the obvious choice.

It works great against both bashing teams and passing teams, and is way better than anything else you could take. If one of them gets a second double later, dodge and guard become the obvious choices.

Leader and foul app.

Yeah, i forgot about leader. You need that for your rat ogre. So i agree with newboy here.

I think I take foulapperance and guard

I wouldn't recommend Guard: you don't want your guys to stay around other teams' blockers.

Foul Appearrance and Leader would have been my choices.

I agree, sometimes, someone has to stay put and suffer a Block. I was only saying that I wouldn't spend a double on guard fr the couple of times I would need it. I'd rather go with a skill I would use more often. Just like I wouldn't take leap on a Chaos Dwarf because sometimes I would need it!
