I allways get 4cw 1mino 6beasts 1rr

yes on 2 dice block without block you go down 1/9 times, but with this starting roster you can block 9 times each turn, so to negatethatyou would need 8rrs… i like to buysoem fan factor for the leftower cash which givs me rerols on kicks of in the beginning, and i can get my second rerol without raising my TV too much on avarage after3 maches.

I have played Chaos on and off for many years (about 15 years..:) )and always start them a little differently each time. I think the reason for the slight differences might be solely based on the league-team makeup, as in what kind of teams are in the league. If there are a lot of bash-centric teams eg. Dwarf, Chaos, Orc. I tend to take max CW and Beastman no Mino. If there are more agile teams or more balance in a league, I seem to take this team and I have found it is at the limit of minimum required punching power for a Rookie Chaos Team. While not sacrificing essential re-rolls and apothecary. I believe that this is the most evenly balanced starting Chaos Team with a Minotaur.

1 Minotaur
2 Chaos Warriors
8 Beastman
2 Re-Rolls
1 Apothecary

Tactically, if you receive the ball at any stage, get those Chaos Warriors to do a quick pass even if you have to burn those team re-rolls. Once they get that 1SPP that first skill is usually not far away. In the first game of any league that I have played Chaos, generally both Chaos Warriors have 1SPP (min) at the end of the game.

Team Re-Rolls are definitely essential for this team “more is better!”, but if you’re willing to bite the bullet and maybe have a few frustrating games early on (losses and draws) because of all the failed dice rolls, 2 Re-Rolls can get you by.

Apothecary is REQUIRED when you have a Minotaur. Remember he has only got AV8, he gets nailed just as easy as a Beastman and with no starting skills or protection assists like Guard, he generally has a target painted on his head. Even Elf Teams will coax or throw 3-4 players at a Minotaur just on the chance they can get him off of the field, ST5 will not keep him around.

As long as you start with at least three rerolls I think the rest of what you start with isn’t really going to make a big difference.

Heya coach ive been wondering would getting an extra CW and only 8 BM and 3 RR any good?

It was common to start with 11 Beastmen in previous editions where it was sensible to spend 90k on Fan Factor. It can work well and having 4 rerolls on a team that lacks skills at the start can be great. The obvious downside is that you don’t start with your ST4 players and it can take longer to skill them up. I think the Minotaur loses some value on a team that has lots of players with Horns. It can certainly be workable though and if you wanted to play the beast only theme for the whole league, I can see it being competitive.

Coach what do you think about the all beast lineup?
1 Mino
10 Beasts
