Doubles roll for Big Hand beastman?

Bookman · Post by **Bookman** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 1:02 pm

Here's the team:
3 x Rookie CW
1 x Rookie CW w/MA 4, Niggle

1 x Beastman w/ ST 5

3 x Beastman w/ Block
4 x Rookie Beastman
1 x Beastman w/Claw, Niggle
1 x Beastman w/Big Hand, DOUBLES

1 x Rookie Minotaur

3RR, FF10, 70K Cash, TR 172

What to take with the doubles roll? NOS and Leader come to mind -- other thoughts?

Something pass oriented might help spread the SPP around a little. I really have to find a way to get the CW some SPP. The slow niggled CW will get replaced soon, but I don't know if a 4th RR is a higher priority.

500% NO to Leader, you can give it to another Beastmen, NOS would be also a waste as he is meant to pick up balls, not catch them. Chose a Skill/trait that combines best with his Big Hand.

If you want to open up some pass-oriented moves in your Chaos team, chose accurate and turn him into a thrower

If you want a ball hog/runner give him either Very Long Legs or Dodge, followed by Block and Pass Block.

Since he already has Big Hand, he is probably the ball carrier of your team... so I'd go with Pass to ensure a nasty surprise for unuspecting opponents

My thought was being able to jump in for a loose ball and toss it out with little chance of a fumble. Probably wouldn't come up enough to the worth the choice.

Sorry, but not pass as he can use a TRR for that, if he choses accurate he will throw the ball better and fumble less...

This is eligible of course, but I think the team will profit more if you turn him into a key player (thrower or runner) rather than a player who waits for the opponent to fumble the ball. On a second note, if you have only one Big Hand/NoS player he will end up at the wrong side of the pitch all the time...

He only has three Rerolls... and expensive as they are, that won't probably get much better in the future...
So, chances are he won't have any rerolls left when he will attempt the pass...

With accurate he won't need TRRs for passing in the first place (at least when doing quick&short passes) and for odd passes like Long Bomb or multiple from TZs a TRR won't help anyway...

In a perfect world I'd agree with that... But my personnal experience with a Chaos team tell me that when you need a 2+ you roll a one...

Anyway, accurate would be nice too of course

Pass? PASS!? With a Chaos team? This player needs a big claw on his other hand to rip off the oppo's heads! Khorne would personally flail me to death if I dared give passing or agility skills to my Chaos team!!

Whatever is the world coming to....grumble,grumble

I guess you would reject an agility or movement increase in favour of Block then...

dunno
I'd be tempted by Foul appearance

Agility!? What's that for! I hope you don't think I actually care about the ball!! Now movement is another matter because it's good for the extra blitz and foul range! Always useful for tendorising opponent's who are just that bit further away...

Khorne was very pleased with my last performance as I won 7-3 on casualties against a loathsome Slaaneshi team...

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

These are enlightened Chaos who know that Khorne is make-believe.

I think I'll go with Accurate and work to get balls into the hands of my CW. I started the team with the 1CW and 10 BM roster, and the CW have yet to skill up.

I have a nearly full roster, and a 4th rr may well be my next purchase -- maybe even after next game (barring casualties, and with a win and a good roll). This team is only eight games old, but has suffered only one death (out of 15 casualties) and has had amazing cash rolls: $590,000 in 8 games.

Hail Mary Pass, or NOS.

HMP to get the ball to the opposite end of the field, or NOS so that he can pass out of multiple tz's after picking up the ball with Big Hand.
