    So do any assists apply on either side when I try to block my own player with a ball and chain guy? Has this been addressed anywhere?

    I am French and I am not sure the information I seek is in this video. If a player with Ball and Chain blocks one of his team mate : is there Turn over ? Thank you for your answer !

    Should a Ball & chain be deployed from the opening kick off regardless of kicking or receiving? Or is there a best time to use them?

    Another question, is it possible to have a ball and chain / piledriver character ? And, should you?

    • @BoneheadPodcast
      @BoneheadPodcast  2 роки тому

      Hahaha, I guess it *is* possible! And they are technically getting sent off anyway!
      but you'd be automatically rolling injury for your guy when he goes down!
      If you've got enough Guard it *could* be useful, but super bad otherwise 😂

      Super bad, but super fun too 🤣
      But you're right, it may not be very usefull...
      why do you say he'd go down due to pile driver?

    • @BoneheadPodcast
      @BoneheadPodcast  2 роки тому

      Ahh when you use Pile Driver the player gets placed prone - and whenever a B&C is placed prone they’re injured! 😣

    Does wrestle make a B&C player take an injury roll?
    I really love the push tactic. It will work great with my snotlings!!!

      @BoneheadPodcast  2 роки тому

      Haha Snots are excellent for it - Dodgestep keeping them alive and moving in the right direction!!
      Wrestle ends up with the player prone, which would cause an injury roll 😭

    Unfortunately, since 2020 B&C players can't take Grab any more.
    Used to be one of the best skills to give them (personally, I valued it way higher than MB).

    Would be cool to see a video to defend against it or to defend against a vastly superior strength to for example mighty blow +1 with a pitch that adds 1 to injury.

    The 1st time i met a goblin ball and chain player in a tournament, i was afraid of him and i did not dare to block him. Goblins slaughterd my nurgles and it wad the only games i've lost this week end. My opponent told me after to block him with 2 dices against (with block skill), the odds are very good for me. Indeed, now i'm not afraid anymore. I'vs spent so many good and chaotic moments with Kreek and Fezglish by my sides....

  • @athousandhats
    @athousandhats 2 роки тому +2

    Great stuff. Really glad you mentioned blocking your own guys with your ball & chain, it can be really useful.
    They might be utterly unpredictable but if you’re running one you probably already embrace the thinking on your feet and taking whatever opportunities arise approach to the game. The side effects of running them is they can throw your opponents plans into confusion, plus as you mentioned create a huge distraction that needs to be avoided or dealt with.
    If your oppo is looking at the ball & chain they’re not looking at your chainsaw! 😝
