IÂ´m new with playing dwarfes.
Which skills for

Longbeard
Blitzer
Trollslayer
Runner.

IÂ´m thinking of guard for the longbeards, mighty blow for the trollslayer and block for the runners. For blitzer guard or mighty blow.

Do you agree with this?
Or any other for my team?
Please help me.

See here http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/vie ... php?t=3424 for standard tips, these are very good.

But in short:
Longbeard: Guard, Mighty Blow, (Stand Firm), 1 Kick
Blitzer: Guard, Tackle, Mighty Blow (yes, Tackle, very often your Longbeards will not be able to Blitz important players, so your Blitzer needs Tackle as well to get rid of Gutter Runners, etc)
Slayer: Mighty Blow, Pro
Runner: Block, Strip Ball

For the slayer you might consider Side Step on a double! It is fun and worth taking so you can get your slayer in the right position to get more crowd pushes.

The rest of the skills is ok although I tend to give the Blitzers strip ball but this depends on the league and the style you are playing the dwarfs.

as 1st. skill: Mighty Blow, Mighty Blow and sometimes Mighty Blow

as 2nd skill: Guard

Sidestep on a double is very effective no matter what position.

oh, i heard something about a new rule that says dwarfs canÂ´t
gain skills anymore.

I can just Agree with most already written.

If you want to go the bashy way take MB on the Blitzers, but Guard first, they are often the first with skills after Runners and an early Guard can save you the day

Tackle on the Blitzer is nice but most of the Time your Longbeards can do the Job

Side Step on the Slayer is perfekt I have one at my current leage and its so much fun playing with him

Sidestep is great for the Slayer but I would prefer Stand Firm. With that he can never ever be pushed into the fans.

When the other coach really takes so much efford in pushing him out, which means to cover all the other 4 spots for that then is ok, because you will be the next to push 1 or 2 players out

and playing such a sidelinegame against dwarfs will help you as a dwarfcouch far more then any other team

Stand Firm/Guard for Longbeards but Side Step for Slayers
