A dead agi 4 player with MA 7+. Cflings lack scoring ability something fierce. |

Or, something like that +MA, Strong Arm Treeman would open up a one-turn TTM option. Even one of the Greater Horrors would. |

nah, one turning is a desperation ploy that the minotaurs can already do (albeit terribly). A solid scoring player would be far more valuable. |

Anyone got any advice on which player to choose? |
As much as I don't want another Mecha running around, I think Kekrox or Willy Windup would be my choices. Kekrox is better now, but if Mechas lose some AG he might not be so good. Either way, they are both solid additions to the team. A third Mino would be funny as hell and tie up a lot of the other team.Max Taurus looks tempting, I don't like the Build on Dogbert II. If you want an interesting ball carrier you can go with Marks and Sparks or The Great One. Both Squig Hoppers so you have to worry about them failing Blood Lust with nothing to eat. |

I think losing Always Hungry and WA while gaining SA makes enough difference, but then I like to use TTM a lot. To be fair, it's probably not the option I'd take either, more of a fun choice. The +AG Mecha seems a strong contender. |

Speaking as his previous owner, Kekrox isn't as good as he looks. You could use him as a primary carrier? I always needed the muscle elsewhere, but I suspect he would make a great ball carrier. As a blitzer, he was rubbish. |

There is a skink with +AG & Block, 2 SPPs away from another skill, for a ball carrier Tiny Steel Hammers style.
I have to say I'd be tempted by a 3rd saw too. I mean, who doesn't love playing with chainsaws? |

I would take one of two beast of nurgles with block. |

Actually, that is a great idea. Both are very close to a skill (I think the one with just Block is better) and with DP they can be bomb deterrents. |

It's a fine line between getting a useful player and never getting a game again. The beasts are an interesting idea, Tentacles, Block, Mighty Blow, Foul Appearance, Disturbing Presence is a pretty sweet combo. |

The skink is a pretty good idea.
Chainsaw if sun, but will only be around for about 4 games. I'd go with an AV8+ player, simply because you'd like him to stay on the team for awhile.
(in fact, I'd go with a mecha ) |

Thanks for resurrecting the Stunty tournaments Shadow. This was a blast to play so many games and a HUGE success.
Well done sir. |

That block +ag skink (Tiger Snake) was one of the more notable Venemous Viperz that have died on the pitch. He had insane mobility and ball handling in his too short career. |
