For the 3rd consecutive time I have rolled doubles on a GR, this time it's the second roll for one of my 2 GR's. Both took Very Long Legs with their first skill roll.
Right now I'm leaning towards Foul Appearance, but was wondering what others would do.
TR139 before the match probably around 147 now...most of my linerats have 1 skill (block) although 1 has kick and 2 have nothing. My thrower has accurate |

| Foul appearance sounds good. He'll live longer and be a greater nuisance once you give him pass block! Too bad he didn't take horns or dauntless on his first roll, because he could pick the other one now and be the best player in your league! |

Sorry I know this should be asked in the "Rules Questions" Section, but after Zombie's suggestion, the question popped in my head.
When using Horns combined with Dauntless on a Blitz. Do you make the Dauntless roll first then add +1 to STR (from the Horns)?
Example, Gutter Runner with Daunless & Horns, Blitzes a Troll.
Is it STR 2 , then the successfull Dauntless roll (STR now 5) then you add +1 for Horns (Total of STR 6, & now TWO Block Dice in your favour)?
Or does the Horns add to the STR before you make the Dauntless Roll? |

Dauntless then the horns. Yes a gr can get a 2 die block on a big guy. |

| @ Clan-Skaven - Roll Dauntless, then add Horns. |

| Mel, If you plan to make him a one-turner then two heads might become an option in case you need to dodge through TZs. Instead of 3+ 3+ 2+ this becomes 2+ 2+ 2+. Pro might also be an option to support oneturning ... |

I should mention that my other GR has a niggling injury and 11 SPP's, which is why I went with VLL on the 2nd GR hoping to make the 3rd and 4th GR more defensive in nature once I could afford them (including a Dauntless/Horns if I made the rolls) and figuring I would lose a 1 turn scorer eventually.
Pro is an interesting option, but you only get a 50% chance of getting the re-roll. Big Hand would make him really good at running into a crowd and grabbing the ball (like on a blitz) although Two heads is also an interesting option because you need to dodge more often than pick up the ball, but he already has Dodge.
I suppose I could take Dauntless now as well and hope for a 3rd doubles roll, but it's not a good gamble, plus it may take longer than I have to reach 31 SPP's (he has 16 now). I focus a lot on spreading out the SPP's.
Foul Appearance followed by Pass Block would work well with VLL to make hima good defender (lots of mobility, bonus to interceptions, catch to re-roll interceptions, and -1 to receivers/throwers that I get close enough to). Plus, he would last a little longer as 1/6 blocks/blitzes against him wouldn't happen.
My next two games are against Wood Elves and then Undead. After that it's the playoffs so it could be anyone. |

You can't pick up the ball on a blitz because it hasn't landed yet. |

| True, I should have said like after a blitz. You won't necessarily reach the ball on the Blitz itself but be in good position to do so on your turn if the opponent cant pick it up. |

Ok. I thought that what you had in mind was to use his speed to pick up the ball and score before the other team even got a chance to move!
Big hand is great for a skaven thrower or gutter runner, but i don't think it fits particularly well with very long legs. |

How about the old standby "Jump Up"? It'd be nice to have someone who could ALWAYS move 10 squares. Then add "sprint" (if you ever roll a normal "skill" like the rest of us  ) and you'll have a one-turn wonder. |

I am playing Rats in my current league. Oh, what I wouldn't give to acutally get *one* set of doubles for a GR.
My personal suggestion would be TwoHeads. The dodge rolls that you'll make will drive other coaches NUTS.  |

| Since he's a 1 turn wonder (yawn) I'd give him FA or Spikes. |
