Nurgle beast will give you a really good advantage against agility teams with his tentacles. |

Oh, and Beast of Nurgle all the way cuz of the tents being a great asset to an elf team. |
I won it last year and thats how mine worked: https://fumbbl.com/p/player?op=view&player_id=11453143 |
But he died at 47 SPP and had three (trained) skills by then. Doesn't that indicate that Animosity did NOT count? (Funny to have an Orc with Animosity on an Orc team. Guess he shouldn't pass to goblins or a troll?) |

No he didn't.
He had tackle + Guard (+animosity).
Starts with block+SS. |

A Chaospact Ogre, may be better when I think about it. No need to keep someone standing next to him during the game. Plus you can easily give him Tentacles.
A fling Tree man with no Loner may be cool as well. A Bull centaur would be fabulous. A Death roller would be epic |

Id even consider the Krox. It keeps up with your team well. Doesn't need to be babysat. Starts with prehensile tail which is a nice little bonus |

Kroxigor is an interesting alternative instead of the Beast. A bit more mobile.
As for Hail Mary Pass bombers, keep away from that. I played a team who had that and the game was stopped due to a horrible bug. |

Getting animosity as first skill would remove the slann blitzer in my mind - they take long enough to become effective without losing that first slot, and the two skills they start with do nothing to keep them alive in the mean time.
Pact bigs are quite cool and would give you mutations on a double. But tbh, the beast of nurgle does everything either of those two would (except TTM) and comes with tents already.
Pesti and Bloater are cool, but loss of a slot really hurts both imo.
To be quite honest, I think a big guy loses the least value by losing the first slot to animosity because they've got quite a low number of skills you'd actually want to take anyway. In addition, it's not like they'd be involved in ball play.
I'd take a BoN or Krox. |

Wow, for some reason I was convinced he was an Orc Blitzer. :-O I better stop trolling the forums. |

Hi all. And thx for all the brilliant input!..Damn this is a hard choice.
Dunno why i didnt put in the krox as an option. I do quite like the idea of a mobile big guy without really stupid. The tail is nice too.
The bloater seems to get the most attention, and i do feel he is probably the wisest choice with regen and fa to keep him alive and no negatraits..only drawback i am seeing is his lack of movement. One question tho..Nurgles Rot..can i get rotters?..my guess is no.. but that would be insane..free linefodder.
Bit suprised the Pestigor isnt getting more love..do people feel he would get creamed too easily? |

I think you're right. The type of player that can be "raised" is specified in each roster's options. Then again, that's for the undead races - I'm not sure about Nurgle's Rot. |

Nurgle players all have nurgle's rot. I think that means they can create a rotter. I believe if you have a nurgle player on your team, you're getting rotters when he kills someone. Nice LOS fodder.
hopefully that doesn't cause a game crash of the client. |
