I know I've very recently posted this in another thread, but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
Also bringing this to my mind is the fact that just this week myself and 7 friends have been setting up a veterans league. Simple rules: We've got established (TV140-160) rosters for all teams, so just pick the one you like the best.
2 coaches had stated they wanted to play stunties, but when both dwarves and chaos dwarves were confirmed, both backed down!
That's just too sad.
therefore, I give you:
I know what the knee-jerk reaction will be: That'll make stunties unstoppable!Make Right Stuff void Tackle on blocks (and blitzes).
But think about it:
*Is it possible to beat a blodge team - even without tackle?
*The stunties are ST2, so easy victims for 3-dice blocks.
*The stunties don't have access to block/wrestle, so most of them will be easy enough to handle.
*ReRolls, Frenzy, Pro and Wrestle can also take them down. (Strip ball can knock the ball lose)
*They're still low AV with +1 on the injury.
*And they can still be pinned with tackle, diving tackle, tentacles and shadowing.
But it would protect them from the wholesale slaughter when facing (Chaos) Dwarfs.
And it would protect them (a bit) once opposing teams develop dedicated killers.
It would help Ogre teams, gobbo teams, ½ling teams and underworld teams. But not lizardman teams.
Thanks for listening
