Chaos New team with skills, how would you play it?

[Scaritus]

So we’re starting a new TT season in the next couple of weeks and I’m taking a new Chaos team. We start with 8 skills. They’ve been rolled as follows;

Beastman: 6+6
Beastman: Normal
Beastman: Double + Double
Warrior: Normal + Normal
Warrior: 6+4
Warrior: Normal

My thinking so far is pretty boring/straight forward;

Beastman: +ST
Beastman: Block
Beastman: Surehands + Dodge
Warrior: Block + Guard
Warrior: Block
Warrior: Block

My doubts are whether to take Claw/MB on the double skill warrior and something funky like DT+Jump up on the Beastman. First two games are new Chorfs and new Nurgle. After that the division is pretty mixed.

Appreciate any thoughts

I don't play Chaos so this may not be optimal. But if I did....I'm assuming a standard 4 warrior, 7 beast, 3 RR build btw.

Beast 6+6: probably plus Str (but not sure that gives a lot of value in a rookie Chaos team). I'd be tempted with Leader on rookie Chaos though...get rid of him once the team is developed.
Beast Normal : Wrestle
Beast Double *2 : Lots of possibilities here. Dodge/ 2 Heads? Leap/ VLL if you are brave/crazy. Wrestle/ Tackle. I'd prob go Dodge 2 Heads and he would be my carrier and get Block asap.
Warrior Normal *2 : MB, Claw
Warrior 6 +4 : Block
Warrior Normal : Block

With 1st 2 games vs Chorfs and Nurgle I would want MB/Claw. I don't see the need for Sure Hands vs those teams as long as it does not rain. Good luck!

Yeah I might go wrestle on one beast claw mb on the warrior.

Otherwise as you said @Scaritus

Good advise guys. Definately picks I’d thought about too. It’s hard to see past the doubles but Chaos have such good skill access on normals.

I'd go for leap , wrestle on the beastman.
It forces the opponent to play differently as they need to protect against you leaping into the cage.
If you have a reroll available that is a 75% chance of getting a 2D wrestle blitz on the ballcarrier.
I wouldn't be doing it very often but IMO it is worth it just for making your opponent try to defend against it.

That is a very good call. Frees me up to make the other beast my ball carrier and with another skill this specialist could go tackle or VLL and really be a pain

I just can’t see past the +ST on this guy, even though it’s probably less than optimal!

I like the +str BM. Next 3 skills block, frenzy, tackle.
I also like the idea of a leaping BM (slower, hairy WD).

In BC my plan is to give frenzy to 1st BM that gets a +Str and I have a Agi4 BM that I really want to give leap to (I know that is probably crazy talk). But having these 2 on either side ln defense should cause the other coach to think a bit before choosing where to cage up.

That was my thoughts exactly for skill progression on the strength 4 guy.

I think for beasts I’m pretty well decided on;

Beast: +ST
Beast: Block
Beast: Wrestle + Leap

Except I would take juggs intead of tackle in that str 4 skill progression
