The stat increases, +ST makes him harder to hit, +AG is great in that you wouldn’t need Extra Arms or Two Heads and +MV makes it easier to get him to safe squares or the end zone. Doubles as usual for ball carriers are Dodge for protection and dodging, then afterwards Sure Feet for greater ability to move or Side Step to prevent multible blocks against him and better positioning.

Big Hand is another option if you want a guy who can recover the ball in a few tackle zones. Kick off return is useful late on but earlier in development you need the more basic skills other teams start with. I would probably learn towards Block as if makes him more useful in other situations and if you are running a cage well you shouldn’t need to be dodging anyway. After these two you have a choice whether you decide to go Block for protection or Two Heads to aid with dodging.

You can also use them in a pinch as a reciever, another reason to build two. Extra Arms has a few uses, primarilly in helping picking the ball up, but also aids in catching a hand off if you picked it up with someone else, or aiding a team mate trying to get a completion SPP. Sure Hands will let you pick the ball up easier as well as saving Rerolls and negate Strip Ball.

Normal: Sure Hands, Extra Arms, Block/Two Heads, Fend, Kick off Return/Big HandĪgain I think it will be useful to have a couple of these guys on the team but this would be to cover more of the backfield against teams with Kick.

For stat increases, +ST is obviously useful for anyone blitzing, +AG helps in getting there and perhaps picking the ball up afterwards and +MV lets you cover more of the pitch. Double choice would be Dodge again to aid getting to the ball carrier and making it harder for the other team to get him off the pitch. Strip Ball can be useful early on in a league where other teams are less likely to have Sure Hands, though later on in development the priority drops. Frenzy can also be considered to get more chances to knock the ball carrier down. Two heads will allow you to dodge better which will make getting to the ball carrier easier as well. This combo is also useful it you want to get a receiver down if you can’t get to the ball carrier instead. Tackle will also be useful as Dodge is a common skill choice on ball carriers. You want to start with Wrestle as your team has no Block or Wrestle to start with and it is the best skill for getting a ball carrier down. I recommend building two of these guys, so you can cover either side of the pitch.

Normal: Wrestle, Tackle, Two Heads/Frenzy, Strip Ball.

Throwers are the only position you can’t really build easily as this requires doubles, however in my opinion Chaos teams don’t really need to build one anyway. This ability means you can build them into great blitzers, the skill access means you can build great ball carriers, fairly good recievers, blockers and defenders. Horns on all of them gives you an advantage over all other teams in that nearly every blitz you do will be at least ST4. Their skill access and the fact you have a lot of them means you can build the team up in a number of different ways to acheive this. They don’t start with any ball handling abilities which is the biggest problem with a Chaos team and makes them hard to play early in development.Īs Chaos have no standard positional players such as throwers and catchers, Beastmen have to fill in a lot of different roles on the team.

They are slightly more expensive and have the advantages of starting with Horns and also get normal access to both Strength and Mutation skills as well as General. Beastmen fill in the Lineman role for Chaos teams, though they can’t really be compared to a more standard Lineman type.
