I am playing a Skaven team in the B.R.A.W.L league in Perth, Western Australia.
My rat ogre will probably become a star player in the next game, what should I give him,
Break tackle or Juggernaught presuming I only gain a strength skill.

I would go with juggernaut all the way. While I could see the benefit of having the Break Tackle (getting away to put a TZ with his Prehensile Tail on a key player), I would play to his strength, which is hitting. That, combined with his decent speed, makes him an excellent blitzer. Juggernaut would be the most useful, IMO.

Both Juggernaut and Break Tackle are excellent choices. Which one you pick first depends on how you play him.

On doubles, Block is always good. Pro is also nice. Something that I'd like to try eventually is Side Step to make better use of the Tail. Not sure it's a great idea. Maybe on the 3rd double Smile

I chose Juggernaught for mine as it helps when blitzing and unless you do roll a double you'll never get block so it allows you the option of not going down. Considering the RO is the best cage breaker a Skaven team can get its defenitely the required first choice.

Both are good choices, but like Cramy said, it depends on how you like to use it.
I might go Jugg...

Played Skaven in the league in the spring this year - first skill - Juggernaut. Never regreted it. Great skill.
