Hello boys and girls. I have a decent Runner on my Dwarf team - 7348 Blodge.
With Majors in mind I got a second Runner as my 12th man to help with 2 turn Td's and to sometimes be useful on offense or defense but the question is how?
I just rolled a normals skill for him and have to decide on his path, I have a few ideas as described in the poll, what do you think?

I really like the second runner to be a wrestler and/or thrower. Having one wrestler can be so useful, even on offense when you really need to clear the patch. Wrestle/Block as first skill is a must in my opinion anyway. After Wrestle you can still decide how to develop him further. It can be pretty useful to have a passer, since you can almost always form a cage reliable and close to the LOS on T1 (one of the weakest spots of dwarf teams). Your AG 4 runner makes a good receiver.

Normal build or if you can be bothered keep sacking until you get +ag

I think wrestle etc makes sense. Goes well with speed and agillity, goes well with not having block, and gives you someone obvious to give kick to, too. You could even just field 1 runner per drive, if you care greatly about the -av they represent.

Oh and another question I only want 3 AV8 mens - 1 Runner 2 Trollslayers or 2 Runners 1 Trollslayer?

Ok Stonetroll has convinced me to run 2 Slayers. They are rowdy!
Might keep reserve runner still.

Block or Wrestle..both serve good purposes. I like having both runners though (and both Slayers--how can you not want 2 slayers!! Smile )..though not always on the pitch at the same time.
