Hi,

I'm doing Skaven for a tournament named after types of cheese and James Bond movies...

I was wondering if i could have peoples opinions on the following? I'm allowed 6 extra skills but no doubles.

Rat Ogre (Live And Let Leerdammer) - Juggernaut
Storm Vermin (Mozzaraker) - Guard
Storm Vermin (Feta Your Eyes Only) - Tackle
Gutter Runner (The Spy Who Loves Brie) - Block
Gutter Runner (Goudafinger) - Block
Gutter Runner (From Ricotta With Love) - Wrestle
Line Rat (Dolphin Another Day)
Line Rat (Quantum Of Stilton)
Line Rat (Diamonds Are For Edam)
Line Rat (Halloumi Live Twice)
Line Rat (Camembert Royale)
Line Rat (Octoprovolone)

3x Re-rolls
1x Apothecary

Thanks

i prefer a GR with strip ball

you should consider a thrower which is useful and frees up a GR

the skill on the RO is debatable but i saw ppl makeing good use of it

So would people suggest i drop the Apo to upgrade a linerat to a thrower?

If i were to jig things around a bit i could get this for 1.1

Rat Ogre - Juggernaut
Storm Vermin - Guard
Storm Vermin

Gutter Runner - Block
Gutter Runner - Kick
Gutter Runner - Wrestle
Gutter Runner - Strip Ball

Thrower
Line Rat
Line Rat
Line Rat
Line Rat

3x Re-rolls


This would be without the Apo and effectively the thrower becomes a glorified Line Rat on defence.

If i were to take 4 gutters however i guess i really should drop a skill from perhaps the Storm Vermin (probably tackle) to take kick. That would allow me to kick deep and then run the gutters through to put a lot of pressure on the ball carrier.

the ruleset allows too much skills. it's not a good format for skaven imo.
especially if stacking is not allowed (in this case one wrestle+Stripball gutter is great)

anywen, whatever the format you need the 4 gutters (no discuss)
at least 12men+apo (or 13 men)

i'm not a fan of the thrower, but for a TV110 format, with so many skill, the leader might be a good solution to build a 13men roster

i do like kick on one of the gutter.
not fan of tackle

I have absolutely nothing to offer in terms of roster building, but I just wanted to say that your cheezy puns are truly awful. Well done! :D
