Nurgle Team: 3rd skill on Pestigor

Axtklinge · Post by **Axtklinge** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:39 am

Just got my 3rd on one of my pestigors, and I'm not sure what to give him...

The team goes like this:

3 Nurgle Warriors (Block, Gurad)
1 Nurgle Warrior (Block)

1 Pestigor (Extra Arms, +MA)
1 Pestigor (Block, N.I.)
1 Pestigor (Sure Hands, Block, _________)

1 Beast of Nurgle (0 spp)
6 Rotters(1 with 5spp, 1 with 3spp, and 1 with 2spp)

4 Rerolls
7 FFactor
2 Ass. Coach
0 Cheerleaders
110k gold

"Kick" would be usefull but I'd rather wait for a rotter to get a skill to get it.
"Strip Ball" might be interesting to hunt those blodger Gutter-runners and human catchers, hard as hell to knock down.
"Extra Hands" or even "Bug Hand" might be useful too...

Any ideas?
By the way, who would get another Pestigor (and perhaps drop a Rotter for Team Rating sake)?

Cheers

I'd personally go either:

Extra Arms - Which gives you a reliable ball carrier and reciever for hand offs.

Guard - It's just a solid skill on any player and makes him useful on offensive and defensive drives.

Fend - This is such a superb skill on a ball carrier type as it forces your opponent to think hard about how to block (and it's just good elsewhere).

Two Heads - Improves his dodging, making him a better ball carrier and a useful assist.

I'd definately not take Kick as that should be on a rotter, Pestigors need their skills to work every turn and Strip Ball (if you want it) would be better on the Pestigor who just has Block.

This shouldn't even be a question, 4 Pestigors is a no brainer

I agree 100% with that, its just that the team is getting up in the team rating, and I'm starting to give loads of inducements to my opponents.

Cut two Rotters and run with a 13 man team. That'll keep the TV the same as two rotters = unskilled pestigor.

Then if you find 13 men isn't enough of a buffer pick up a 14th man with a Rotter later on. I normally run Nurgle with 13 players, I only go to 14 in either a bash heavy league or when I have several DP rotters.
