Minotaur 4th skill

[AntonLunau]

I need just 1 more SPP for my chaos teams Minotaur to get his 4th skill. Its a MM online team (so not having a minotaur in the first was probably the right thing to do) Ive been very blessed with this guy though:

1st: Block
2nd: +1 ST
3rd: Tentacles (after playing nurgle i couldent resist taking tentacles after getting those 2 skills)

what to take on doubles / nondoubles?

My 4 CW all has Block, Mb, Claw, Guard and even though you can never have to much claw i dont think i want him to get that.

Im thinking stand firm on a nondouble since its great with both frenzy and tentacles. Do i take dodge on a double or just stick to the SF? Dodge is not as usefull but a 6 ST blodger with t

Regards

On a regular role you should take claw, because he has ST6 so it should be rare he will get hit enough for stand firm to matter, and with claw he can kill those stuck to his tentacles.

On a double (you lucky so & so) pro, because wild animal sucks.

I don't think this is true. With ST6 Tentacles a half dice block looking for pushes is going to be the only way for some teams to get away from him. At 69% with a reroll it isn't the worst option in the world if he's in a jam.

Very true joe.....but I just want to see him take claw
Never really seen the mino as a wall, more of a giant blitzer.

Claw and stand firm are both good options. I think the choice is dependant one which races are in your league and which you still have left to play. If there are lots of orcs dwarves etc... take claw if there is lots of elves skaven etc... stand firm is better.

Edit: Just seen that you said it was a MM team online, so in that case I would take Claw.

Break Tackle?

With S6 he can go into cages with Frenzy. And tie up everyone else in there.

I'd take Claw. Not too many people want to try 2 dice against blocks against a Block, Claw, MB player

[AntonLunau]

It just feels to easy to take claw, but it might be the right thing to do

I like claw as a reg skill. Pro for doubles. Scary team.

[Coach Grievous]

Your CWs all already have Claw, so there's really no huge need for that in my view. Getting him Break Tackle and Stand Firm will make him much better at his designated role. Kinda difficult to choose between those two as the first one, though. Break Tackle and its ability to totally screw up a cage here is very tempting. Stand Firm on the other hand could multiply the amount of actions the opponent needs to get out of the "tar-pit". Those two together on a ST6 Tentacles player is just sweetness.

[AntonLunau]

With 4 Chaos Warriors with the mentioned skills breaking into a cage is often not much of an issue. Gonna go with claw/stand firm on a normal and pro/dodge on a double depending on my mood at the time.

Thx for the input

I would go Stand Firm. The team as a whole appears very short of Tackle, so you need a road block to tie up agile opponents. Stand Firm also means you are likely to have opponents to block, so you do not need to commit your blitz action to the Minotard.

All the best.

I generally play Dark Elves, but I hate seeing a Tentacled Minotaur with Stand Firm.

He has Block which makes things tougher, but without Stand Firm I would risk a 1/2d Block to try and free up my players, usually with a Wrestler.

Stand Firm makes him much deadlier against Elves.

[PorkSol]

I've always wanted to try a Block Stand Firm Tentacles chaos minotaur, playing as a Beast of Nurgle who never loses his tackle zones, instead of a blitz waster.

Can't dodge away, can't push him away, and if he gets marked he can push his opponent towards the action each turn without risking a loss of tackle zones.

If you go that route, let us know how it works out!

[Smurf]

I'm with Break Tackle, brilliant idea.

S6 = AG 6 needing '1+' target. Basic cage has 3 TZs and +1 for dodging giving an over all roll -2 or a 3+ on a die.

What cage mino coming through.
