Grashnak Blackhoof

Hiring cost 240,000 gp. Plays for: Chaos Clash.

Special rule: Gored by the Bull

Once per game, on a Blitz, his Block rolls one extra Block Dice (max three) regardless of ST; a Frenzy follow-up block benefits too.

On the pitch

Grashnak is a Minotaur with Mighty Blow and an extra gear. Horns takes him to ST 7 on a blitz, and Frenzy means he follows up and blocks again. Gored by the Bull is a once-a-game blitz where every block rolls one more die than normal, up to three, Frenzy second block included. Unchannelled Fury is the leash: on a low roll before acting the activation is wasted.

Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, Khorne and Nurgle in the Chaos Clash can hire him, as can Chaos Dwarfs and Norse when they take that league. Rosters without their own Minotaur gain the most: Nurgle, whose Rotspawn is MA 4, and Norse, whose Yhetee is ST 5. At 240k he removes a player a turn on good dice. Frenzy pulls him where you did not want him, Fury wastes turns, and Loner (4+) means no help when it does.
