Ogres and trolls are (in general) more reliable than mino's, and w/o frenzy they can be much easier for inexperienced coaches to plan out assists for that second block. However, on a chaos team you can already have 4 str 4 guys to act as reliable semi-BG's, and every sinle member of your roster can blitz as a str 4+, so chaos have far less reliance on a BG than many other teams with access to one. Thus I would go with a mino--blitzes stronger (to blitz opposing BG's), and has access to mutations. Sure, it requires a double roll which an ogre/troll would use for your standard block/tackle rolls now, but a chaos team is built around random attributes on its players adding to a greater team strength, and your mino can usually advance far faster with access to rsc/tentacles than can a mere MB ogre/troll. |

Troll -- 9AV/Regen allows him to be the "best" LOS (Line of Scrimmage) fodder, but his stupidity can be annoying at times.
Ogre -- 9AV, Bonehead instead of Really Stupid, +MA/+AG over Troll allows him to be abit more mobile.
Minotaur -- 8AV, Frenzy/Horns able to mutate. Best big guy regarding potential to murder, just keep in mind he's easily injured at times. |

The Ogre is better because he has bone head instead of Really Stupid or Wild Animal, which means that an Ogre possibly will do more stuff in a game. |

Big guys are linefodder, therefor trolls and ogres. Ogres because I prefer the reliabilty. |

You missed the neither button.
I think big guys suck, and i would rather take a 16th beastman. No, really, I would!! |

You kinda need big guys with bashers though in ranked. Otherwise the opposition is gonna be able to outstrength you, because lets face it everyone takes big guys. |

Big guys are like a big stone in the way of your opponent. They can just stand without doing anything and create some trouble to the other team. |

I bloody hate minos but would take one on a Chaos team just for the sheer fluff value. They work thematically. |

Trolls for the regen so i dont have to worry as much when he gets injured although the RS can be annoying at times he is usually just a mobile wall |

I think another pro for the Ogre would be Thick Skull. I know my Troll gets knocked out more than I'd like. Thick skull keeps your idiot on the field. |

Absolutely the mino - I actually find it more reliable than the other two bg - My mino doesn´t roar as much as the trolls are stupid or the ogre´s bone head takes controll |
