Skitter Stab-Stab

Hiring cost 170,000 gp. Plays for: Underworld Challenge.

Special rule: Master Assassin

Once per game, may re-roll the Armour Roll of a Stab Special Action.

On the pitch

Skitter Stab-Stab is a gutter runner who hurts people rather than scoring. MA 9 and AG 2+ with Dodge get him to the ball carrier from anywhere, and Stab replaces his block with an armour roll that ignores his ST 2 and every modifier. Once a game he can re-roll that armour roll, which is how a stab against AV 9+ gets through. Shadowing lets him follow a player who dodges away on a 4+.

Skaven and Underworld Denizens coaches hire him for 170k when the opposing carrier has Block and Dodge and their blitzers keep bouncing off. Snotling and Goblin teams get a marker fast enough to catch anything. He is a one-trick hire: assists do nothing for a Stab, and AV 10+ is a long shot even with the re-roll. AV 8+ means the first block aimed at him usually lands, and Loner (4+) applies.
