In few weeks I'll be finally going to my first NAF tournament here in Finland. Rules are world cup rules (same as in Dornbirn). Four games: One day1, two day2 and one day3.
First I considered necro and humans, but I think I'm about to puke due to many practice games in FUMBBL against them. Lizardmen could be strong since they really come online on day2, but unfortunately I do not own figurines for them.
Then I started to consider my other options and realized that damn. Is Underworld the good stuff?! List I ended up with, thanks to two mateys:
Troll 110k
2x Blitzer 180k
2x Thrower 140k
2x Linemen 100k
4x Goblin 160k
Glart Smashrip 190k (MA5, ST4, AG2, AV8, Loner, Block, Grab, Juggernaut, Stand Firm, Claw)
Skitter Stab-Stab 160k (MA9, ST2, AG4, AV7, Loner, Dodge, Prehensile Tail, Shadowing, Stab)
1RR 70K
=1110k
Day1 skills (140k budget remaining):
Block Troll 30k
Mighty blow+Piling on Blitzer 50k
Guard Blitzer 20k
Leader Thrower 20k
Wrestle Lineman 20k
Day2 skills (+40k budget):
Block Thrower 20k
Wrestle Lineman 20k
Day3 skills (+40k budget):
Two heads Goblin x2 40k
I think it's really strong at day2. Not that bad at day1, however on day3 the powerspike is really bad compared to many other races. 2+ dodges still appreciated if they somehow stay on the pitch.
Having to field only 2 gobbos on first drive is huge. In a way they start to feel special due to dodge+stunty. Safe skills on the whole team, but this team packs some good punching power and muscle thanks to troll, pomber, guard and Glart. Skitter is a gutter runner which is appreciated, even if he's a loner. However tail+shadow could create some plays that allow me lock-up opponents on offense.
If my hitting fails then my offense will be really difficult and I need to play with my very best capability to stall 8 turns. Slippery BS might be needed. On defense however I might be surprisingly strong as the team can break cages, yet is mobile enough to re-position.
I wish I'd get 3RR but with 3 loners and overall quite safe skills, I should be having trouble spend more than 2RR per half... Hopefully. No apo, but tbh I probably don't need it, so I value bench more.
I'll be facing players who play in the finnish national team. So I might be biting on more than what I can chew on especially with this roster. Still it should be a fun run and quite different BB experience.
Interested to see if I missed something relevant, or how others have fared with Underworld in tournaments.
