Why Are General Skills so Rubbish???
I've got a Block,Tackle Skaven Lino and so I have the choice of:
Dirty Player
Kick
Pass Block
Pro
Shadowing
Strip Ball
Sure Hands
I already have a kicker in the team, I'm not a fan of DP with so many AG4 GR's and a Surehands Thrower i dont really need Sure hands. Pass Block seems a bit limited and Shadowing is not very useful. That leaves Pro which i've never really valued much
Anyone got any suggestions?? |

if you got a block/tackle lino, then give him stripball. Your storm vermin arent always free to hit the ball carrier |

I agree, for a skaven lineman shadowing is great but if you dont like it strip ball is always nice to get the ball. |

I actually kicked one unaged block,tackle,shadowing linerat (when I was young  ) just because I wanted my TR back low and I didn't consider him very useful. Didn't regret that back then. Just now it seems weird. |

It's really not that rubbish.
Shadowing and then Pass Block. Makes a nice defence Lino out of him. Pass Block the catcher and follow him if he really catches the ball. |

Lot of good suggestions already here, but you might also want to consider a second kicker. Little furballs tend to die quite easily so might be nice to have an extra Beckham around when the first choice bites the dust (or is KO'd etc). |

Apart from all the other suggestions:
-Strip Ball then Sure Hands (or Big Hands on a double)
-If you really don't know and think it is all rubbish... Pro gives "half a reroll", useful even when your team lareaedy has 8 rerolls. |

Or:
Another kick perhaps? Kickers die. If kickers are skaven linemen, they die at the speed of light. |

If you really think General Skills (like block?!) are "Rubbish," then I suggest you stick to goblins, halflings, and lizards.
You will quickly gain an appreciation for those "Rubbish" skills. |
