Great points, all. Thanks Boffa!

Hello, all! Long time, no post. Hope all's well with BBT. I have a Pro Elf team that's been on the shelf for a while, but I'm bringing it back for league play, and I realized I've had a pending skillup all this time, and it's because I couldn't decide. =) The team has: 5x line-elves (1 kick...

Hi all, I hope this isn't spammy or anything - last time I posted here we were still working out the kinks in our new Shark Cage project, and I just wanted to update everybody and ask for help again. :) For those who missed the first thread, the Shark Cage is a new project to help...

Gloater is awesome, see guys? :) Also, we will not accept the answer "Orcs don't have skin when our Chaos team is finished with them."

Hello, cKnoor! (By the way, I had been planning on sending you a PM about the Shark Cage when it was a little more active, as I've been intending to write a post recommending your videos to new players, with your permission :) ) Yeah, you make a good point. I think I'll ask Gloater what he...

Update: I played the match earlier than expected since I ran into my opponent online. Needed to take a skill before the match started, so I made a hasty call and just grabbed Tackle. Received first, scored in 4 turns. On my opponent's drive, the Wrestle/Dauntless/Tackle guy found himself one...

I think I'm just allergic to Guard on gutter runners. :) Maybe it's a failure of imagination on my part, but it's rare that I wished I'd had one - I find that it's not all THAT difficult, under most circumstances, to get somebody an assist using a gutter runner, because of the high move and...

Hi guys! It seems the only reason I ever post on this thread is because my Skaven have made the playoffs, but they have, again, and I have a tricky problem again. :) The roster: 4 linerats (1 kick, 1 wrestle, 2 rookies), 1 rat ogre (break tackle), 2 stormvermin (1 MBPO, 1 Guard/Tackle), 1...

I actually asked Gloater to change that just yesterday, 'cuz I thought it might be a little too obscure. I think it's the question from RMBBL. As a fellow IT guy, I totally agree with you, Pollution. :) It's Grim Ironjaw, until Gloater gets around to it!

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Hope to see you all around there soon. :) Yeah, part of me agrees with you, Ken. But the idea behind the Goldfish Bowl is not so much to keep people out of the shark-infested waters, at least not for very long - it's a 5-game season with no playoffs, much like...

Hello all, I haven't been around these forums much lately, because I've been cooking up a little something of my own for the Cyanide Blood Bowl community, along with the great Gloater, secret overlord of BBATTL. ;) The Shark Cage, in its newly resurrected form, is a project devoted to...

It's a great question, and it's sort of a hard one to answer, but I'd say this: In my experience, you usually don't have the luxury of picking and choosing your cage corners. If you do, great, and the above advice is terrific, but really any player on your team will do as a cage corner...

Well I hope you got absolutely ALL those SPP off my rats. =) Man, you hammered my rats good. I got even in the next match against some chaos though. I'd take the Strong Arm. You'll be 2+ on short or quick, and that's a lot of what you'll do with him. I know all that extra AG is what beat me...

Also it is terrible luck to ask what skill to give a player before she actually levels up! :) especially is she is av7. But, I would go block for sure. To me having only 1 dedicated sacker on a team that's all mv6 is a bit meh. 3 or 4 line women with wrestle is better, but this one is special...

Hey everybody! A while ago, some of us over at RMBBL started a thing for new players called the Shark Cage. We used to offer mentored matches to those still getting used to the game. We're not doing that, currently, but one of the nice artifacts of it was this long "Orientation to Leagues and...

Interesting point, Danton. I am occasionally frustrated by having to find a spot for my linerat kicker in my defensive setup, so I might try that. Question for you: say hypothetically you have to set up on offense for the first drive of the game. Would the Block Kick thrower make it on the...

No problem, enjoyed the feedback Mephiston :) On the Thrower: I actually play two of the buggers, spending my very first 70k of winnings on the second one. The trick is not to play them like elf throwers. Don't hang out in the backfield out of range and look for the open rat - the AG3 will...

The only thing I do not like about the Raining Blows Connection is that I didn't think of it first. MAKE THAT TEAM. Nevermind the fouling thing, nevermind the linemen team. Your next serious league team is the Raining Blows Connection. :)

Yeah, Juriel's is the one I see other (excellent) Skaven coaches using, but I agree with Boffa's issue regarding that one - it gets surrounded too easily, which takes away your blitzing options - you usually have to blitz your way out of their encircling formation, instead of being able to blitz...

OK, I've never tried to draw one of these before, but something like this isn't terrible, in that it achieves the main goal of not getting a gutter runner blitzed on turn 1, which is nice, and also prevents getting surrounded. Of course, against a dashier team, it protects the sidelines but...
