Poll: First skill (no doubles!) for a Mummy on Undead?

Post by Artificial Penguin »

What is the first skill you would take on a mummy for an Undead team (didn't roll doubles)?

I've gone for Piling On but it depends on your playing style.

I went for PO on one of my Black Orcs (the only one with any SPPs :cry: ) and he's spent a lot of time on his arse, although he has pulled off a couple of good plays.

But mummies have an extra ST again which makes it a lot harder to get a 2D block on them. You'll still suffer from the occasional double skull though.

Sure hands...har har....

Actually, I was proud of one of my boys two games ago...a ball bounced to him and he caught it on a 6! Unfortunately it was on turn 8 of the second half--my opponent's turn, and I'd gone first :P

Pile it on! Especially with the LRB currently ruling that you can choose to do so after you roll for armor. It's the fastest way to get your second skill.

Block.

Killed my mates PO Mummy with my MB Norse blitzer when he 2D blocked me. Both came up both down, and as he had no re-rolls down went his mummy. 11 on AV and 9, modified to 10 for Inj, 6 to kill. 1 on regen :lol:

What a beautiful moment. Reminds me of a time I killed a Troll with a Halfling on a 3 die his choice block. The halfling got SI'd, but it was certianly worth it... :)

Sorry but this is a no brainer, block is the single most important skill for a mummy in an Undead team, a Mummy is best played on his feet, block and mighty blow in their own way are more powerful than piling on. A piling on Mummy, once he's down can expect to stay down, dirty players will have a field day

I voted block, however i would switch off between block first and pile on first.
