Blood Bowl General technically Bloodbowl

First for dark elf ass is best ass

On stalling or quick scoring.

In general you score quick if you have a bunch of KOs and/or your players are in danger of being blocked and injured.

Like wood elves usually won't cage (there's always a chance they get a couple early KOs and they out bash someone), but in general if you have low AV and a chance to score you'll take it.

If you have piece advantage and can cage without too much risk then it's obviously the correct strategy.

Usually stalling will always cost you blocks and amour rolls but it's not uncommon to be in an advantageous scrum where you can stall while retaining block advantage. It depends on what team you are, what team you're against, the status of casualties and kos and above all else the match score.

>tfw tying 1-1 vs a dorf kill team because he spent 4 turns trying to pick up the ball and I managed to pull shenanigans and dodge my human blitzer into a tackle zone to get a ball back out and then 2 gfis for a TD

only had 2 badly hurts all game too.

thanks nuffle

Another good question is, "when should dark elves foul" and the answer is, "almost always NEVER"

Such high TV on every player, only super high priority targets are worth fouling, witch elves, wardancers, skinks (assuming you have piece advantage)

>>44369510
>dwarf team spends 4 turns to pick up the ball

same thing happened when I was teaching my BF to play the game, he won because I couldn't pick the ball up in my drive.

Nuffle has a sense of humor.

>>44369528
It was fucking hilarious. I played the first half like a moron and failed a dodge that I took as the first action with my catcher I really shouldn't have so he knocked my thrower out of the game stole the ball and scored turn 8. Then his drive happened and he failed to pick up the ball like 4 times before I managed elf bullshit to tie the score.

So on the table top I've heard its customary to paint the bases certain colours in order to easily distinguish positional
Is there an "in-stone" colour code?

Threadly reminder that Lizardmen are OP

>>44369918
>in stone

Uh, all I know in tabletop is you usually put player numbers on the bases.

Never heard about ringing positionals.

Not a bad idea though, I'll probably do that for my dark elf team

>>44369918
what do you mean "in-stone"

>>44370311
Linemen are painted with white bases, blitzers blue, catchers red, etc

Also merry christmas

>>44370435
oh you mean like "set-in-stone" like the phrase.

Like, is there a universal colour code for positions.

Nah

I'd just concede and start over. Anything is fine for a first match except the wardancers getting ruined. Of course if its a tournament then its the woodies own fault for taking the risk no apo start.

Do you guys have any new year's resolutions?

>>44370663
It's a league, no leagues I know let you start new teams midway. Then what's even the point to playing? You could go home and play bb2 and jerk off with your level 7 +str +agi war dancers

>>44370688
I have no idea what your point is. A dead dancer on a fresh team puts you back so many games that if you lose it on the first game its faster to restart than to play 5 games just to buy a new dancer.

I am starting to like this more,what did you change in linos?or did you just mak ethem cheaper?i like that you made the elder better,but that's too much,the team is super limited,but just compare that elderto the welf tree,something is wrong in his cost.may i ask you why leaving the catchers catchers instead of going for a runner?
I know feel like the team is more playable,but you are making a team that is bad at the ball and positioning,but might be too good,60k for thise linos and 130k for that elder seems too little,they might need a nerf,or maybe it's me.i hope this doesn't sound like too harsh criticism,i really like the team

>>44369483

>>44373224
Only change to Lino were a drop of 20k Price
Elder doesn't have Block and anything in the game can just walk away from him so I feel its probably fine. But he may see a price increase next time I fiddle with it.
I debated a Sproutling but felt like they should really be big and slow, And MA5Sprint is super fast as far as they are concerned.
Probably a good idea to rename the Catchers to Runners.

Really the only negatives about either team is the player cost and that with enough claw pomb you could deal with the lizards.

I haven't seen as many of either team recently. Before ever game was vs lizards or chaos. Now I pretty much never see lizards, dorfs, chaos, or orcs.

>>44376052
Amazons start with dodge and block too, in fact twice as many of them start with block, but that doesn't make them better.

I'd have an agruement for lizards but then I watched Cknoor's undefeated HE get stomped by them in a newb league I really can't

How the hell do Blood Bowl Orcs reproduce if there's no more wars?

They need to die and have their spores reach blood. I assume they don't leave a field unmowed long enough for greenskins to grow.

Do all Orcs come from post-game riots?

how do I get good at this game?
I'm playing BB2 on PC and freakin elves keep pushing my shit in. No matter how much players do I move to tie them up, they just keep dancing through my tackle zones.
If I play elves the opponent outbashes me, but if I play a bashy team, speedy teams just run around me in circles.

>>44387498
It does not matter of how much player you put around a player to tie him up all that matters is in how much tackle zones that player has to dodge into. If you put 4 players around a guy and he still can dodge out on a +2 then that doesn't mean shit.

In one half I rerolled a 2 both downs into 2 skulls, 2 skulls into 2 skulls, 1 skull into 1 skull and a 2 on a dodge into a 2. I love my placebo rerolls.

>>44387498

Something like a Lineman will never deserve more than 2 skills, excepting maybe Chaos Pact as their "linemen" are actually meant to be built into positionals.

And even some positionals don't need more than a few skills, such as Throwers. Those in particular can be tricky because of how steadily they accrue SPP, you may end up overdeveloping them simply from them doing the job you made them more effective at.

How should I build a nurgle team?

I figure Beast should be stand firm>break tackle>grab>guard
On dubs Block>Dodge>pro

Nurgle Warriors Block>Guard>MB>Claw
Maybe one with grab Doubles Side Step

Nurgle Warrior with +st Block>Tentacles>Stand firm>tackle

Not sure on the rotters. First one is the kicker, but do you make 3 wrestle fend guys before you make dirty players or do you just give every post kicker rotter dirty players?

How do you build the pestigors? I figure giving one MB>Claw>PO>Tackle>Block and one Block>Tackle>MB>Claw but am not sure if this is the best way and what to do with the other 2.

>>44394030
You need someone to handle the ball. So a Extra Arms > Block > Sure Hands

>>44394030
I'd suggest going Claw>Stand Firm>Guard on the beast instead.

>>44395361
Beasts only get mutations on doubles

To break holes in the defense and to deal with dodge sidestep.

I am not sure what else there is to take beyond more guard and MB

This is a frankly disgusting and unsightly solution. You should number bases.

However, it does have legit heritage in Bloodbowl - back to a time of 2nd edition, which was all polystyrene foam pitches and airbrushed artwork.

Back then they used coloured bases or rings to differentiate positionals on teams of 16 identically posed plastic minis. The old colour key was this:

GREY - Linemen
GREEN - blockers
RED - blitzers
WHITE - throwers
YELLOW - catchers.

if you want to go full vintage Bloodbowl, do that. But I can't recommend bringing such an ugly solution to any gaming table.

>>44406549
Block Guard on all of them, You need a good frontline so you can get fouls

Just making the Pestigors killstacks is probably optimal, though you can always grab Claw+MB on a Warrior after he gets Guard

Keep or Cut questions for Human team.

1. My Ogre has guard/stand firm. Do I take break tackle, grab, or just cut him if he doesn't roll doubles?

2. My catcher has block and will take side step at next level up. Do I cut him if he doesn't roll +ag or +st by the third skill up or just give him diving tackle?

3. My lineman kicker has 14 SPP, give him wrestle or cut him when he levels up? I don't have any wrestle on the team

4. As of right now I have 1 tackle lineman and 1 guard tackle blitzer. My kill stack blitzer is 1 point away from level up and my blodge ball hawk/skink killer blitzer is 11 from level up. Both will take tackle assuming no doubles or stat ups. Do I keep the lineman and give him wrestle or just cut him when I have my 3 tackle blitzers?

5. My TV is at 1590. I have a lineman with 5spp and my team has 12 players (1 ogre, 1 thrower, 1 catcher, 4 blitzers, 5 linemen) I plan to give him dirty player unless he rolls doubles or +ST. Do I go to a 13 or a 14 man team or is it ok to sit with 12 guys?

Both the Ogre and Catcher should be cut on normals. The kicker can get block or DP, no need to kick him.

AI always takes +str when it rolls it, ai doesn't fire niggling, ai takes claw as first level up.

No human takes claw over MB because claw is weaker than MB, at best claw is +2 to an av roll, mb is +1 to av and +1 to injury (sort of).

Claw does nothing against av7, MB DESTROYS av7

I've only just noticed. Is that a badly shooped Johnny Rico in the not-handegg scene of Starship Troopers?

I hate the BB2 skull animation on the dice, the way they bounce look like you're rolling rigged dice.

I quad skulled for the second time in my life today.

Most important block against welfs (so far in that game) storm vermin with block against just a dodge guy, fucking quad skulls.

>>44412776
Why would anyone ever not take +strength? The only scenario where I wouldn't take it is on a big guy where I can get block dodge or pro instead.

>>44414331
>Not rolling 6x skulls vs a skink

I just realized FUMBBL doesn't have a rule right
The LRB6 says that if you throw a pass, and it scatters into a player of the moving team, you don't turn over.
In Fumbbl it does cause a turn over
The fuck

i took a loss so i could foul a 10 MA skink (Got MNG) did i do good?

>>44415076
its a turnover even if it scatters to your own team anon. you fucked up the pass.

Humans are the best team, cordially debate with me otherwise

>>44415180
There is nothing overtly "bullshit" about them

>>44415036
I've never rolled a hex-skulls in my life

I can't wait to roll it though

>>44415076
You can fuck up the catch and have it bounce and still play but not the pass. There would be no downside to hail mary every throw knowing that you have a "cage" to catch it in.

>>44415120
>mng
nope you didn't stat bust him

>>44415232
inaccurate pass doesn't cause a turn-over.

>>44415237
i only managed two injurys that game despite throwing blocks at every opportunity especialy on skinks. i tried anon.

>>44415208
But also no overt weaknesses!

>>44415304
no str4

>>44415304
Whats the overt weakness of a team with uberfast dodge, stunty faggots who can hide behind the fastest str4 blockers (6 of them) and a top tier big guy

>>44415343

>>44415356
Its safer to run a ball 9 spaces then throw it 4

It's not even khemri tier,at least thro ras have passing access and pass,with skinks you are just givingthe ball to your opponent

You are given godlike perfect levelups exactly the rolls you want and a fully leveled up team
But it must be super gimmicky i/e not clpomb stst
What team do you make?

so, my first game of the league, i had a DE lineman die, but my runner got 11 SPP, and a blitzer skilled up, 60k in winnings.
what should i buy/take for skills

Aww yea my murder stack blitzer killed a sauras to level up.

>>44416791
Blitzers are good with dodge, hell dodge on any elf is never wasted
Tackle is a good alt since knocking down players reliably is imporant for ssp

Get an Appo fast

>>44416831
yeah i'm pretty sure i'm taking dodge, dont really know what to take for the runner, and i'm torn between taking an apoth or saving for a fresh lineman

Just fired my kicker because he got a niggle. I have a 5spp lineman. Should I make him my new kicker or give him DP like I had planned before. Human team

>>44416739
Wood elves with teamwide ST ST Leap Up Block Tackle Dodge and Leap on anyone who already has one of those

>>44416871
Runner instantly becomes better with Nerves of steel
Though again, dodge is always good on an elf

>>44416791
4 gutter runners with +MV, sprint, surefeet, and who gives a shit about the rest

>>44416871
Keep the journeyman,no point in taking a lineman,just save for another positional or buy other stuff you need,until you have a complete team buying a lineman is kind of a waste.
I would get the apo now,you don't want to have to replace another blitzer.

Btw is it me or is something up with dark elves in BB2?i get more injuries and kos with them than skavens,they feel like av7

If you have the 150k in inducements, do you always take a wizard?

>>44419232
its usually the first thing i reach for, but its not always the best choice
fireball for busting cages is awesome, and lightning bolts for zapping skaven faggots in my backfield is the shit

>4/6ths of the dice are favorable

As an experiment on whether or not the AI cheats, I set the entire enemy team to 1 AV
Results of 8 turns: 2 KOs
I threw as many blocks as I could and have them out ST'd
First injury was at turn 9 with a double skull reroll 2x both down

>>44425462
and that proves what exactly?

>>44425500
That the AI fudges dice enough to still be standing after 8 turns of 1 AV blocks

>>44425504
do you have any idea about probability?
Also if they have av 1 you only get to knock them down 4 turns in 8 turns.

>>44425546
By turn 11 it went from 2 KO and nothing to 3 KO 4 Injury and a Death, I feel like the AI fudges but eventually it has to stop

>>44425560
are you braindead? This is not how you prove that cheating is going on.

You know what bb2 really needs to stop chaos?
Goblins.
Lets see how your islam goats stand agaisnt some fanatics, bombs and chainsaws of my own, faggots.

When will Dank Amateurs play vs Les Maginot?
Also when will MCttC play vs RtRr?

>>44426451
Les maginots here,i talked to my opponent in the first days,then he stopped answering,still waiting to hear from him.he mentioned something about work,he probably is busy

>>44424149

Here are my totally sound (having been based on logical reasoning and previous trends) predictions on the outcomes:

Clothing v. Funk - Khemri wins 3 - 0 with astounding pass combination plays from the Thro-Ras. Skeleton Snapping Smot kills both Bull Centaurs single handedly.

Rack v. Shades - Poundinator fails a GFI on turn one and dies. The rest of the team spends 15 turns in mourning while the Shades have a Black Orc run the ball in 5 times. 5 - 0 for the Shades!

Quickslithers v. Werewolf - A trio of Saurii take turns passing the ball in a triangle while progressing up the field while a mob of skinks run in circles around the opposing team (all while staying inside opposing tackle zones) dizzying the players so badly that they fall and KO. The Werewolfs coach denies comment on the outcome, but can be heard muttering something under his breath about "friggin' OP lizards"

Leaves v. Doornails - All players without Regenerate explode and die upon setting foot on the pitch. The ball was also incinerated. Wight Herr Hausen spends the match vainly doing cartwheels to entertain the crowd and keep them from rushing onto the field and beating the remaining players to un-death with their own limbs, which happens anyways. The refs award a 1- 0 victory to the Leaves, because one of them swears he saw a Wardancer's arm twitching in the 16th turn.

Are cheerleaders and assisnant coaches worth it?
It seems like having 3 of each could give an edge with kick off events

Also I miss the races specific cheerleaders from BB1
>No skelliqt for Khemri
>no khornettes
>no slutty pro elfettes
>no dat ass'd classy High elf maids

Any tips on how not to become salty when you get bad dice throughout the game?

Just for the record, I don't mind losing if I get outplayed.

Is playing to win not the mentality you should have when playing BB?

>>44427092
nah, it's more of, losing the least, if you're not playing exhibition anyway

>>44427092
Take wins and losses the same
You can always play again

I assume you play fumbbl? They kick everyone's ass

>>44427008

Most people will just stay with the broken ribs though.

>>44426703
on a skaven team yes

>>44427092
>Is playing to win not the mentality you should have when playing BB?
No the mentality you should have is winning while makeing sure you still have a team to continue playing. There are times you should just consider playing to a tie and prevent your teams death.

Here are the hardest hitters in /tg/ bloodbowl. All teams counted have all 6 games done with the first 4 on the list going to the playoffs.

Fullmetal Ascot, Chaos Dwarf Blocker - 4
The Poundinator, Werewolf - 7
Brood, Saurus - 5
Slotep the Ancient, Mummy - 4
Isaac Clarke, Ogre - 4
Leon S. Kennedy, Human Blitzer - 4
Killdagga, Orc Blitzer - 4
The mad Gob, Fanatic - 4
Ludacrispy Treats, Skaven Blitzer - 4

>>44428406

I still can't get over how disgusting The Poundinator is.

So I just bought BB2, figured I might as well since it's on sale.

What are some good non-endless leagues?

>>44420547
>Jim uses the word twat

>>44426703
I was always a fan of the DE cheerleaders
Dark hair and pale skin do a lot for me

>>44426703
nah, ass coaches and cheerleaders are bloat

>>44432518
What about in bb2, where the game will fuck you if your bank is too big (I really don't get that rule)

>>44432934
buy inducements

>>44432934
The tabletop rules actually counts ALL your treasury in your TV.

But you can bank 200k (not that much different than the 150k in bb2)

Also if you couldn't figure out that you can hire and fire cheerleaders/assistant coaches to keep your money at 150k in bb2 then you're "special"

>>44433093
The bank is not counter in your TV, just to be clear

So with the season wrapping up and word of the next league I'm a bit curious on what I should do with my team 'The Vintage Veterans'. I might not use them in this veteran league but perhaps the next and I don't know what to do with my cash. Should I invest in a ghoul and lose a zombie or just go for another reroll. I'm a little dubious on the ghoul on necro. Where I can clearly see its all ball handling with undead, necro has 2 great ball handlers with wolves and another 2 solid back ups with Wights. Also lacks regeneration and is armor 7. Dodge is nice and 7 is still great MA however. Just looking for some thoughts.

>>44432934
The rule make sense because it prevents bashy teams to amass a huge gold amount where they can always instantly rebuy all of their players.

Also inducements don't add to tv value which helps the underdog by using the inducment money and still being able to use his own treasury to buy inducments.

in Fumbbl if you have 40k inducment money and you want to get a babe you need to add 50k from your own treasury to do it. Which make less sense

Your team is doing alright, no major setbacks and you have a Werewolf with Blodge already.

You need a bench, though, and personally I'd rather have a ghoul available to take the place of an important player like a Wight or a Werewolf rather than a Zombie.

>>44433262
I was hoping to kill some squishy teams and get a zombie or two, just disn't happen. Just didn't want to risk being to bloated

>>44433197
>it hurts fragile teams (like elves) more than it hurts bashy teams, since the bashy teams often have high av, thick skull, regeneration, and other survivable features.
No it doesn't elves very rarely can amass a lot of money since they tend to die more often than av9 teams. While av9 can amass a lot of money and when they do have some deaths they will always be able to replace those at once.

>>44433570
the point is that elves need replacement and they would love 300k banked since it's likely they'll lose two pieces against a bashy team

where a bashy team probably won't lose a player per game

>>44433709
just because they like to have 300k banked doesn't mean they are likely to have 300k banked.

>where a bashy team probably won't lose a player per game
yes and that's why they amass more money than elves do and when they do lose some players they can instantly rebuy them which the elves cannot.

>>44433854
you have a very incorrect view of how games play out

I regularly top out my 200k bank with my welves and my delves in my league

>>44433920
I wish I didn't encounter Chaos teams on BB2, its all I encounter and they kill so many guys that my new teams become useless.

>>44434023

So either lose have my team or let them win. That fucking sucks, fuck Chaos faggots.
