Starting Skaven Rosters

[SierraKiloBravo]

2 blitzers / 4 gutters / 5 lines / 1 thrower / 3 rr / 0 FF

or

2 blitzer / 4 gutters / 4 lines / 1 thrower / 3 RR / 0 FF / Apoth.

Basically, I'm torn on the 12th player versus the apoth. League appears to be more flash than bash. Thoughts? Thanks.

Apoth over 12 men; I like that roster fairly well. I had a buddy ran that roster with 12 guys, and both Stormvermin died in the first match. So take the Apothecary.

I too favour starting Skaven with an Apoth. If you take one, he won't be needed, if you don't, your players will die.

I like the 2 blitzer/4 gutter/5 lineman/4 Reroll roster in an agility league

As Skaven your always one roll away from busting the game open. The extra reroll let's you be even a little more daring. Gutters do all the ball handling, but don't start with passing/picking up/catching reroll skills, the extra reroll helps when the inevitable 1s pop up.

If you're in a bashy league then yeah, the 12 man or apoth set up is less likely to result in your team's annihilation after 1 match.

Skaven, IMO, don't have to win a lot to start, to be successful later on, they just have to survive.

a 12th player helps winning, the APO helps surviving. I would always go for the APO over an extra rat for league play.
