I just made a Skryre team, and I have a few questions about the deathroller.

1. Can it pick up the ball?
2. When fouling with DP, does the client add in the +6 for being a deathroller first, or does it apply DP to the armor roll first (like it does with chainsaws)?

yeah, id like some clarification here too, i mean, statswise it looks rather different from the dwarven deathroller, and i wouldnt mind knowing why?

thats what i mean, its not particularly good, present on a normal roster or not, it seems silly, I cant see a doomwheel type thing running screaming into a human (hereafter reffered to as bob) and bouncing of his head because it only gets a 1 dicer. Bob isnt that tough, and clan skyre really ought to be a little better at their jobs. Bob should be dead.

but they're stunties. they don't attack humans, but other stunties in the stunty leeg, and thus they often have 1db. plus your deathroller can ignore TZ and get skills, which means that with a little work you can go and blitz any ball carrier around, or that pesky chainsaw, etc.

I see your point, but strength four would have seemed more sensible, I take it then that seen as how it ignores tackle zones it also doesnt count assists, ala a fanatic?

Assists affect it as normal, and str 3 is fine for stunty. It would take 3 stunties to have a 2 dice block against it, i think that is enough.

My skrye team is doing very well with it's wheel, and therefore i think it is not 'broken'

I see what you mean with the ignoring tackle zones, but with it taking one block and being badly hurt, it just seems a big investment in points for something that can go down very easily and break very easily against nearly anything.

There is a difference to the board game. When the deathroller is knocked over of fails a gfi, its destroyed and lands in the badly hurt box. But strange things can happen: an injury roll is made and it can go worse.
120k for a weapon with penalty roll 7+ may be ok when you can field it every match. But with mng, niggling or rip it's overpriced.

I have another Deathroller question. If I knock over a death roller, do I automatically get a casualty?

No, you do not get a casualty for it.
