    Dwarf Early dwarf team development

    Hey, at least you didn't click Juggernaut, or worse, Multiple Block. Grab, you'll get some use out of. Especially after he levels and gets his intended Guard skill.

    Dwarf Early dwarf team development

    I've played a dwarf team for a few seasons in a TT league, so some obersavations: Yep, that 3rd reroll should've been bought instead of the apo. So get that first. Then a 6th blocker, yes. Dwarves are tough, but they'll lose the odd guy from the pitch often enough to need a #12. You...

    Dark Elf Looking for advice - DE vs. Liz

    I've heard this and haven't experienced it. I have an online league team and a TT league team, and on both teams I had a skill on every saurus by match 7. Maybe that's not 'young', but they still have a long way to go before they're experienced. Now the Kroxigor, he's tough to level. But...

    Dark Elf Looking for advice - DE vs. Liz

    I've played DE 7 times with my league lizzie team and only lost the first one, winning the other six, so I understand the problem. As said above, blitz the skinks. Don't do much tying up of the sauri, that often goes badly. Dodge away and make it tough for the cage to move, also as stated...

    Necromantic Another starting roster.

    A word of warning: Ghouls will have very large targets painted on their foreheads. Ball-handler + 7 AV + no regen = yikes! The necro player in our league has written haiku on the vulnerablity of his (and the undead player's) ghouls. Two very skilled teams, but the ghouls are lucky to see skill...

    Chaos Is it worth me getting a minotaur?

    Wild Animal doesn't remove the tackle zone like Bonehead and Really Stupid does, so unless you're worried your frenzy will put you out position, might as well try to do something with the mino. Doing nothing and rolling Wild Animal is exactly the same thing.

    TalkBloodBowl is shutting down!

    I can't really say one way or the other, all I know is, I and my whole TT league tried fruitlessly to get in, so you can understand what we think from our perspective. Personally, I'm more for open discussion at places like here.

    Which race would you most like to try?

    Yep. Build them right and they're pretty unstopable. KOR and Catch on 2 catchers, and there are few spots on the feild that the ball can land without a chance to catch it, which helps for the speedy TDs. Dodge, PB and NOS on the other two completely shuts down the other team's passing game...

    BBPB League?

    I'd join the league, too.

    TalkBloodBowl is shutting down!

    I tried for over two years to get into that forum, but my app was never accepted. Good riddance, I say.

    Dark Elf Starting roster

    You definitely need to be able to sit your assassin against bashy teams, something rookies teams don't have the luxery of doing. Depends on the other teams in the league, but all else being equal, I'd leave the assassin until at least the 13/14 player on the team. Your lineup is good. WEs...

    Your Stupid Blood Bowl Ideas

    Oh, agreed, in a short-term league, it's not a good idea. Get those positionals, and let them do everything. But in an environment where the team won't retire until you want it to, that isn't a good idea. And rerolls are had to come by, so the team will grow more quickly and wins, while they...

    Your Stupid Blood Bowl Ideas

    I think that's still a good thing to do. I haven't had any problems with it (though I admit I haven't coached a pre-LRB4 elf team). In LRB5/6, it works really well, as dead linemen are replaced by journeymen on the short term and positionals in the long term. The ones that live get skilled up...

    Elf Delay Tactics

    Easy to do, yes, but not recommended. I had 3 AG+ marauders, one was a passer (with Accurate, Strong Arm, Nerves of Steel and Dump-Off - one trick pony, but he did that trick well) and two were catcher/pass blockers (Extra Arms, Pass Block, Nerves of Steel, Dump-Off - Catch would have been...

    Which race would you most like to try?

    Like BoB, I've tried most, so I'd have to say Underworld. I thought they'd suck narly as much as the Gobo team, but a guy playing the team in our league has shown me the error in my thinking (the sucky team of the three new ones is Chaos Pact. Played them for 35 games and the more I played...
