4th skill for 'Killer' Orc Blitzer
I am struggling to figure out what to take for my killer blitzer, he is performing quite well so far but I really dont know what else to give him at the moment.
Orc Blitzer - Block, Tackle, Mighty Blow, Piling On, ?normal skill roll?
The rest of the team can be seen here:

Break Tackle on a Blitzer? Replace Ag 3 with Str 3 on a dodge roll? Am I missing something here?
For me it would have to be Guard.

Depends on how you feel about positioning.

He already has 1 Frenzy, I'd advocate to have the next one on a BOB.
Stand Firm, he becomes a sticky grenade, you can't shake him off.
Typically if you are a ST3 player toe to toe with him (and you have AG3 or 2) you would use all your actions this turn then try a lucky 1d block.
1/6) AD => you loose
1/6) BD => Damn he's still there ready to block you
1/3) Push => Yeah I'm safe, he has to blitz now!
1/3) DS, DD=> Bingo
Giving him Stand Firm makes this one die block a lot less effective, and I might consider dodging... (I'm scared!)

I like the idea of Stand Firm as well. Even when he gets knocked down, he's right back up and in your face again.
I can get behind Frenzy, but then I guess it pretty much makes Side Step or Stand Firm mandatory for your next skill.

Re: 4th skill for 'Killer' Orc Blitzer
Is jump up an available skill to him on a normal roll?
May be worth considering.

Would love to but my rule book is a pdf on my phone that breaks shrinks and closes against my will and obviously can't be used while I am on the interwebs.
Plus my memory sucks donkey ears.
Personally if I had to pick I would go with stand firm, though I would use a better name then 'sticky hand grenade' I don't want my blitzer to explode.
Edit: sorry if I sound snarky didn't mean to come off that way.

Re: 4th skill for 'Killer' Orc Blitzer
Frenzy, because with Block and Mighty Blow it works so very, very well, and particularly because you're referring to him as a 'killer'.

This particular player's job is to hit things and knock them down. Frenzy (usually) gives him a second chance to do that if his first hit is unsuccessful. Yes, he'll want Stand Firm next, though if he rolls doubles I'd have a hard time not giving him Jump Up.

Re: 4th skill for 'Killer' Orc Blitzer
have you considered Juggernaut and Grab?
Jugs to blitz Fend players and still use P-On, Grab to throw a block against Fend players and still use P-On.

Re: 4th skill for 'Killer' Orc Blitzer
Are there a lot of Wrestle elves and skaven in your league and/or a lot of Stand Firm? Maybe Juggs would be good value for money if there are. Otherwise I like the idea of Grab unless there is a dearth of agility teams. If neither apply, get Stand Firm.

Thank you for those words of wisdom Master Wang.
