My Chaos team just earned it's 3'rd doubles roll (3,3), and I'm not sure what to take.

There is always Claw, and since I've got a mostly Bashing League, would be useful.

On the other hand, a back-up Big Handed Beastman would be also handy.

Now there are a few Wood-elf teams in the League, so maybe Tentacl.

I can't decide, what say you guys?

You can see how the team stands so far here:

Probably another Claw is most effective. Foul Apperance can be fun too.

What are your first two doubles? Big Hand and what?

I'd say a back up claw, but I'd also recomend that you don't pass up some of the other skills out there that you need a doubles to get. Dauntless on a Beastman can turn them into a very effective Big-Guy slayer. Dodge is good to have, and Guard for the Beasts will come in handy once and a while.

If its a really basy league, I'd grab a claw or two. My Skaven teams got 2 claws in the TBBF mostly because everyone is trying to injure the first one, then I got the second one to hit them with.

The First doubles was Big Hands or Rhea, the Second was Claw on Andoline

I would think that one big hand is enough. Go for the claw to keep up witht he bashers and to punish the few wood elves. Tentacle is nice, but not effective enough against the majority of teams who will just as soon hit you as look at you.

Now if you were to get doubles on the minotaur, then the tentacle debate would be a whole other matter......

Well, the first Doubles roll that I get for the Minotaur is a no brainer, he's getting Block.

Still with him getting Break Tackle, at least he can do some dodgeing if needed.

The nice thing though about a WA with tentacle, is that they have the high strength to make it hard for other's to dodge away, but unlike the Beast of Nurgle, they do not lose their tackle zone when they fail their WA roll.

But yeah, block would be good too......
