Double for a Nurgle Warrior

[Chris]

New team, so far only a pestigor and Nurgle warrior have got skills (gor has +1 ag and block, NW has block). Nurgle warrior has rolled a double.

Dodge is not an option - that chap woud be one of the few pieces on the team with it. Side step I don't think is as useful as stand firm in the team. So diving tackle? Or just ignore it and get a regular skill?

Block.

You'll get more value out of that skill then any other.

Is this the same NW that already has block, or a different one?

If it is a different, Block no question to me. NW skill up veeeery sloooowly, so essential skills only get skipped on rare occasions (eg +strength). However, if you are playing slayer-Nurgle in perpetual format, some might suggest you take jump up, to combo with Block/MB/PiOn/Claw, but that's some long-range planning right there...

Chris - I ignore doubles on Nurgle Warriors.

My standard skill development path for them is: Block, Stand Firm, Guard, Tentacles, Grab.

You can think about Dodge if the Warrior has Block & Stand Firm already, but otherwise it is likely to be a poor pick. That's because the other skills work so well for them.

Hope that helps.
