Was thinking of a replacement for the underused and problematic Deathroller.

Here's what I've got, basically a crazy drunk guy with a keg on a chain.

Dwarven Brewmeister: 4/7/1/8 Ball and Chain, Thick Skull, Secret Weapon

Unless he comes truly cheap I can't see many dwarf teams buying him to be honest.

But I really like the deathroller (even though I liked the Lrb4 one more). Sad

Definitely should be only MA3, Fez is Skaven and is MA4...

But I like the idea Smile

what ever happened to the dwarf runesmith? +1 agil or +1 str, for only 50k instead of the wiz?

Dunno.
The whole thing about the Deathroller is that it gives Dwarves a means of dealing with high-strength lineups early in their development, which this player doesn't quite do.

Also, a Dwarf should be slower than a Goblin.

I would make it

Dwarven Brewmeister: 2/7/1/8 Ball and Chain, Secret Weapon, Guard, Grab.

You can slowly wade this player across the LOS, using Guard to support other dwarves, and Grab to open up holes, but MA2 keeps it all it check.

The Anvil of Doom would be a handy Dwarf secret weapon Very Happy By coincidence not only is this Dwarf technology/magic it is also the name of a Death Metal band..

Nice idea, but for dorfs it would still be bloat in R and B on fumbbl unfortunately.

The min maxing issue is one of the hardest things to cope with for me on fumbbl, id love to use the deathroller and some of the other big guys who are just crazy fun.

Good attempt though.

I'm not clear why this is better than a death roller.

I'm clear on why death rollers are underused, but dwarfs don't really suffer much from not having a 'BG', they suffer when they start facing lots of claw. Very Happy

Isn't it a better/simpler/cleaner idea to just hypothetically decrease the cost of our Deathroller?

Just sayin'.

Deathroller is fine. Try using it, sure it's sub optimal but it's still awesome. Stupid thing about dwarves is their best roster leaves out 3 positionals.

Also to the op there already is a dwarf fanatic they are called Doom Seekers. Check out my slayer team to for secret league - https://fumbbl.com/help:DwarfSlayersT

Lrb5 happened. They removed all special rules to dumb down the game and he was removed in the process. A terrible mistake imo.

The deathroller is cool - the issue is the price. As a rule big guys and secret weapons add fun to the game due to their potential for carnage and unpredictability. Unfortunately they are priced mostly on the former. IMO all big guys and secret weapons should be priced so that standard team builds involve their inclusion. Unfortunately in CRP they are overpriced so underused.
