QFT?
Quoted For Truth: Darkson agrees with me.

Is that a good thing?

Only on Skaven.

Well the way I see it there is about 0.00000000000001% chance of me winning the GT and thats being optimistic!!! So my plan is to go for the most TD award (last year I saw that most of the top players go for 1-0 or 2-1 wins so I thought it seemed like a good idea to aim for this).

Then a OTS isn't what you need - you should be concentrating on skills to turn your opposition over.

(And even then you'll get screwed over by GW's shite software

).

You win most touchdowns by getting the ball on defence and scoring. So Strip Ball will be a better choice then sprint.

Winning most TDs normally puts you in the top half dozen or so at most tournaments. If you don't think you've much chance of winning your games then go after most casualties... LRB5 Khemri are probably the best team to do that with.

I didn't think about strip ball but it would make alot of sence, I'm now think this for skills.

Gutter Runner - Strip Ball

Gutter Runner - Sprint

Blitzer - Tackle

Gutter Runner - Block

Gutter Runner - Block

Drop Sprint, take Guard on the 2nd Vermin.

Seriously, Sprint is a waste (I managed 27tds without it).

I agree.

Drop the sprint, in fact ANYTHING but sprint (well, within reason).

Maybe Catch?

I think Guard on the SV is better, if you really want to skill the 4th Gutter then I'd take Wrestle (good for taking on sure handed ball carriers).

Cracol · Post by **Cracol** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 11:07 am

I'd probably take the following skills:
Thrower - block - to act as another storm vermin on defence or counter any strip balling blockers when on offence.
Gutter runners - one with strip ball and one with wrestle - these would be my ball hunters when on defence
Storm vermin - tackle - to go after any blodgers, stuntys, amazons etc
Lineman - kick - if your going for most tds I think you need as much control as possible over kick off and could make difference opposition being able to cage up or not with your gutters running through the lines.
Finally I'd take either guard on the other storm vermin or block on a gutter can't really decide which.

I find with skaven that scoring is not really a problem which is why I skill up with getting the ball back in mind

I like that thinking.

On a side point I'm not a fan of Wrestle is it worth taking?

with wrestle you get both an offensive and defensive skill!

strip ball is only offensive and can be cancelled by sure hands.

I like wrestle for taking down ball carriers with block, worked a few times for me even on a half dice.

I agree almost complete with Cracols selections. I really think you need to work kick in somewhere, its really handy to put teams under pressure of a turn over right from the kick off.[/i]
