Pairing Off Blood Bowl Race Rivalries

[Coach]

A thought occurred to me yesterday about the traditional rivalries between certain races in Blood Bowl and I got wondering what match ups would be if you paired off all 24 races. Below is my take on the concept, obviously just a bit of fun and the match ups aren't meant to be "balanced".

Humans vs Orcs
The traditional rivals and most obvious, they come in the box set and the de-facto standard for a lot of fantasy stuff.

Dwarfs vs Goblins
The two teams who are most well known for using secret weapons on the pitch as well as their racial rivalry.

High Elves vs Dark Elves
Two opposite sides of the same coin, good vs evil confrontation.

Pro Elves vs Nurgle
Nurgle are the only team with any great out of the box defence for Nerves of Steel Catchers

Amazon vs Norse
Dodge vs Block, Women vs Men, both were introduced to the game late on.

Wood Elves vs Chaos
Both good teams at high levels, Wardancers have the best starting combo of skills vs the team that starts without skills (bar horns). Fast ball moving team vs probably the most effective bashing team.

Lizardmen vs Chaos Dwarf
Both teams have strong and fast players, dodge and stunty vs tackle, speed vs slow, fragile vs tough.

Khemri vs Chaos Pact
4 ST5 players vs 3 ST5 players

Undead vs Necro
The two regen zombie teams with slightly difference styles.

Skaven vs Underworld
The two takes on the Skaven players

Halfling vs Ogre
ST2 vs ST1, ST6 vs ST5, dodge and stunty vs bonehead, stealing rerolls vs unreliable. Extremes of big and small on both teams.

Vampire vs Slann
The two that were left, both newer teams, Hypnotic gaze vs Leap. Both have unusual and different play styles to utilise compared to other races.

So what do you think, any changes you would make, obviously there aren't just straight clear cut single rivalries for every team but I think they paired off fairly well.

[Thanatos]

I would have put Dwarfs and Skaven together.
Their respectively gameplay are totslly different and they are huge rivals in the WFB world as well.

[Ork from Mork]

I think the undead vs. necro and the skaven vs. underwolrd both have the problem of the two teams being very similar to each other.

I like skaven vs. chaos dwarf. You've got one of the best bashy teams vs. one of the best dashy teams. Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs are the two most popular teams in the Stunty Leeg and whenever the two cross paths, it's usually a good game.

[Hasdrubal]

Pro Elves vs Slanns
Answer to those pesky elf catchers: a 4+ interception by a slann catcher, or a diving tackle blitzer.

[Coach]

I like your thinking with that match up.

[RedDevilCG]

Orcs vs. Goblins, slave rebellion?

[Marlow]

I would have gone for Wood Elves vs Dwarfs for the more traditional fantasy rivalry.
Not sure where that leaves Goblins though...

Necromantic vs Vampires for the old Werewolf vs Vampire cliché.

[Zharud Darksoul]

Dwarfs vs Chaos Dwarfs would be a real rivalry. I remember reading in novels and on warhammer fantasy sites, that Dwarfs hate their corrupted brethren so much, they even refuse to accept their existence and bash heads even when somebody mentions the Dawi-zharr to them. Chaos Dwarfs are their greatest shame.
