Ooh... that's not funny anymore. The luckiest I've ever been was with my old wood elf team, both wardancers got +1 AG as their first skill roll, oh how I do miss them.

My 30 game Norse roster had 2 stat increase (+MV and +AG). My Vamp team got 4 stats in the first 3 games :roll:

Luckiest i've been with a player is an orc blitzer in my long standing tabletop team. His first two rolls were +AG, so I decided that upon his next advance he'd get Pass Block. Lo and behold he got to his next skill roll and promptly rolled +ST. So he's got ST4 AG5 and Block. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry.

Incidentally, that was the first +ST that team had had, although they have had 5 +AG and 1 +MA.


The league they play in there is a ST4 AG5 Witch Elf, a ST4 Lion Warrior (how annoying is he?) and there was an AG5 Halfling (note the 'was').

I was lucky enough to roll +1AG on both my Gutter Runners for their first Skill.

Furthermore I have an Goblin who got +1AG, as well, then survived one match (even though the opponents Kroxigor was chasing him all the time), got an MVP and rolled a double. Now he has AG4 and Accurate.

My 160ish Chaos Dwarf team has a AG5 Hobgoblin (with only two SPP rolls) and a ST5 Bull Centaur.

Who said Hobgoblins can't pass? 4+ long bombs :) If i could chose just one additional increase it would be AG+ on a Bull Centaur to have a decent catcher.

In both ftf lizardmen teams i ended up with no less than +4 ag rolls. One team had 3 ag 4 skinks and at least 1 ag 2 saurus, the other had 2 ag 4 skinks, 1 ag 3 saurus, and 1 ag 2 krox. Both teams had minimum of +3 mv.

Eeeeeeek, AG3 Saurus is really scary :o I sure hope noone in my league ever gets that. I suppose he doesn't have block tho?

Best I've had was WD with 8-4-5-7, loved him. And my Catcher with AG6 was a nice interceptor :wink:

I always got +1Mv on Longbeards, sometimes +1Ag...
Rather useless. Especially since I always forgot about those increases...

The Spikeheads

Post by Smeborg »

The original Spikeheads (Chaos Dwarf) did not roll a stat increase until their 23rd skill advance. Pretty long odds, that. But they had a few doubles along the way.

I always seem completly incabable of rolling doubles. In a 15 game season with my elves i only manages two doubles amongst all the skills i got. Guard for a linman and strong arm for my thrower. I managed only one stat increase MA for my blitzer. So i guess everyone else is getting the doubles that i am entitled to !!

Probably when i rolled a +1ST for a Mummy on the first skill roll, then a couple of games later rolled a +1ST for the second Mummy on his second skill roll.

Best (or worst if you were playing him) I seen was a +2 Str, +1 Ag Wardancer after three games.. I witnessed all three rolls :(

I've heard (was never in my league, we stopped before aging) about a +2 Strength Witch Elf after two rolls... Great... Pity she had -2 Ag after failing two aging rolls :P 7/5/2/7 dodge, jump up, frenzy... Interesting player ;P

Best I've ever done is my Skaven GR Duey "Old Reliable": +1AG, +1ST, Double (Spikes)... that was all in about 6 games.

Funnily enough, the best I've seen would be the Griff-in-training that the Human coach has in our league: +1AG, +1ST, Double (Sidestep)

Thank god for a Horns, Tackle Linerat sweeper ;)
