Shadowing and Stab should be rolled into an "Assassin" skill.

>>47730898
Assassins already start with both of those skills.

If any skills should be combined it is foul appearance and disturbing presence

There is no reason take either unless you start with them like the Nurgle Warriors

Update when? Its been almost 2 days

>>47731016

I don't see what's not worth taking in Foul Appearance.

I wouldn't make it my first or second skill but third isn't bad.

>>47732037

>Foul Appearance

Ignore that, got them flipped. Meant to say Disturbing Presence.

Who /totally pissed/ here?

Wheres the dumbass commisioner? And why haven't we had an update

What if we gave ogres G skill access, but kept snots the way they are

>>47743848
Yeah how about you take away bonehead too. That might make them a bit too strong though, so you probably should take away like 1 strength and 1 agility. You should definitely make snots like ma8 too.

>>47743871
fanny guy
But seriously if we gave ogres G access and kept everything else the same they still won't be OP, they might be just a smidge more playable

>>47743928
And then pretend the human ogre is for some reason dumber and not like the cool, organized ogre teams?

>>47743871
>lizards would still be better because the av7 and str 2 skinks that don't die to a light breeze

>>47743969
Just give the snotlings regen and thick skull, that will make sense and balance the two teams out.

>>47743993
>>47743871
>>47743943
What kind of autism is this? Guy offers a geniune attempt to balance bar none the shittiest team in the game and you just get defensive for what?

>>47744013
Balancing is for idiots.

>>47743871
i discussed this extensevly with other people. we love ogres. but giving them acces to general would make them insane, literally broken as soon as you get to mid tv. like break tackle strip ball on an ogre and you cannot defend your ball ever.

all ogres get block to. its just to good,

now what we discussed was that we should make ogre positionals so that you can have some general skills but dont get access to general.

we thought it would be a good idea to make a ogre runner, give him minus 1 armour and the sure hands skill.

bonehead is part of the team charm
as is agi 2 and strength 5 so you cant touch those.

>>47744525
How about an Ogre thrower.
He comes with the pass skill.

Then an Ogre Blocker he comes with the tackle skill.

Then an Ogre Pro he comes with the Pro skill.

Also an Ogre cannon ball he comes with the right stuff skill.

>>47744576
> throwing an ogre down field
What part of this is a good idea?

>>47744647
he does not need to land right he just does need to not get stunned.

>>47744576
thing is, sure hands is really fucking important on at least 1 ogre, so you can actually pick up the ball without using a rerroll every fucking time.

>>47745302
So are block and tackle. By limiting G access it makes the ogres a challenge team. Like Vamps, Khemri, Flings, and Gobbos

The entire point of those 5 teams are so more experienced players can play with a handicap vs newer players without needing to take purposely inefficient moves or skills.

Just like Orcs, Chorfs, and Lizards exist so that new players who suck have a chance to compete

>>47745484
and Undead, Dark Elves, Necromantic, every team that beats you.

>>47745484
ogres have like a 30% chance to draw though.

Haven't been here fora while, this general sure did get worse

Shit Orc coach detected

If you gave bret blockers grab instead of wrestle and then gave blitzers GA access or GAP access, would that fix brets?

>>47747730
Just make Brets what they were at first. Knights get GAS. Rerolls are 60k. Everything else is the same.

>>47747844
Then they are just every other team

>>47747881
In what way? They aren't shit?

>>47747905
Having 8 st access players. It's just another guard mb team

>>47748143
with A skills you could have way more fun, and polly just give the blockers guard

>>47746317
Blood Bowl doesn't actually need a perpetual general thread in /tg/. It ends up attracting the vidya gamers - most of whom are awesome bros - but some of whom are degenerate powergamer cunts. Just like every video game community. Bickering and flaming is inevitable when the same thread is essentially up 24/7, with the same inevitable posters going over the same discussions again and again.

>>47754125
Is there a fucking Level 2 Black Orc with Leader?

>>47754716
Yes.

>>47754654
When leagues are on we do

>>47754716
>>47754886
Best thing is Jimmy Fantastic think's that is a great idea, also that tackle is shit.

I don't understand, Orc rerolls are 60K, leader on a black orc is 30K. So you retarded your black orcs skill up for a 30K saving. And you can get leader on a fucking single on your thower for a savings of 40K

>>47755865
To be fair tackle isn't too great in the world cup because it's such a dwarffest.

>>47756425
Yea, he said in general he hates tackle and think's it is a shit skill and then in specific he was saying the guy was a retard for having it. But to be fair that guy was looking at either a mostly dorf draw of 3 games of nothing but rats and elves.

>>47744525
You and your extensive discussion are wrong. As long as it's 6 bonehead ogres and some snots, they will always be the worst roster by a mile. By your reasoning, any slightly lucky ogre team who rolled a few doubles would be 'insane and literally broken' right now, but patently that isn't the case. 1/6 of your players boneheading every turn and your support cast getting 3d cas'ed every turn, it's a joke.

fwiw i think they're the most fun race to play. i love them. but they are the worst of the worst, not one or two small changes from being op

>>47755812
yeah, you need league threads - which arguably should be on one of the many /v/ boards.

The occasional BB chat to talk about why balance sucks and the latest releases is pretty cool, but when you post the daily league updates in the form of a "general / anything goes" then people will come and shit up your league thread. Like I am doing here, although unintentionally.

>>47758012
>The occasional BB chat to talk about why balance sucks and the latest releases is pretty cool

>which arguably should be on one of the many /v/ boards.

Why

We don't play the leagues via the Cyanide games.

Are you going to argue that the fumbbl client is too much of a video game for /tg/?

If that's the case I'm just going to go ahead and start reporting any threads for organizing IRC PnP sessions.

>>47758042
I did consciously pick the suckiest part of these threads to make my point, yes.

>>47758119
You can try it, but they'll ban you for abusing the report function. (To me, FUMBBL is definitely a video game though, yeah.)

How long do you intent to keep singnups open mauled?

>>47758307
Until like 3 days after stunty ends.

>>47758229
How is fumbbl a video game? It is a board game emulated on a java client. It runs under rules of a board game and functions like a board game

I am surprised there is no gun grabber shit on fumbbl. People make weird political blogs on there all the time

>>47758229
I bet you think roll20 is a video game too.

>>47758322
Mauled said roughly 1-2 weeks

And speaking of the stunty leeg, the playoffs have grinded to a halt, with a coach missing for 11 days and his opponent not giving us any updates on the situation, as well as no scheduled matches or the coaches giving us updates on the thread.

And to top it all, domunperg's passivity and inaction regarding the issue (and mauled's, but mauled isn't really responsible for stunty and he's already busy dealing with the regular season)

I'm mostly worried about the missing guy

>>47758451
He should be fine. Maybe it is too busy clubbing. He did say he was gay

>>47758451
The game already rolled over man. The other coaches that are around don't have an excuse though.

ALL the break tackle/Guard

>>47763924

>>47764822
Skink v gnoblar

Is it worth taking doubles on a long beard? Like I can see grabbing dodge for the runner/blitzers and I can see jump up or side step for the troll slayer. But is there really any doubles you would grab on a long beard before guard/MB? Is there anything but a +st you would grab on a long beard before you have guard and MB?

>still no tact.
Welp guess no game tonight then.

>>47765424
I'd pick dodge for similiar reasons you pick dodge on Black Orcs, only dwarves need even less normal skills until they are "complete".

>>47766173
>tactyhacky again
For fuck's sake.

>>47764094
10 dwarf linos with guard mb
1 runner with blodge
1 rr
1250 tvish I think and would annihilate just about anything at that level

>>47764094
2 skaven blitzers with no levels
9 linerats with 4-5 levels each

>>47768748
Replying to myself but could drop the rr desu, getting a free rr on everything except blocks which will almost always be 2d with block

I don't think any low tv team could take so much mb blocking without withering. Might be a similar TV Orc variation.

>>47767104
Dorfs need more cause they are only 3 st. Guard you are getting full value with a dorf because they have block and av9 so they can take the hit. Where as you pay 30k for dodge, it doesn't help your team as much as guard, and you are only getting half the value out of dodge cause you aren't using it as a reroll. Assuming you are playing vs dorfs (or really anyone with at least 1 tackle) you anyone remember spending 30k for a skill you are getting little to no value out of

>ma 7

Ghouls a shit mate

>>47778671
I said some speed not sanic speed. It just means that they will get out bashed against a bash team and out runned by the running teams. So an even shittier human team but your ball carriers are lacking the one skill that makes your team powerful.

>>47778784
Well they got the 2 big guys and av 8 regen on everyone but the skelies and ghouls

Dorfs seem so shitty compared to orcs.

>>47780066
Orcs can't totally bash out, and the dorf runner is actually faster than the orc thrower. Also trolls are fun but bar-none the worst large fellow

They can play similar but I can understand if you like orc versitility and (marginal) speed increase.

>>47780126
*orcs can't bash to the full level of dorfs and their speed doesn't help other types of play

>>47780126

>>47785134
I guess it makes more sense in the pussy ranked meta. Having that man tackle isn't really worth it in box or in our league

>>47785334
You can just never pick tackle and then avoid all the teams that have dodge in ranked if you want.

>>47785344
He is playing in the ranked tourney scene, not the ranked match scene.

There are 3 different match making meta's in fumbbl. Ranked, ranked tournament, and box. Box and box tournament are both basically the same and are super bash heavy. Regular ranked no one plays vs bash, everyone is a picker, and most of the coaches that get games suck. Ranked tourmnent is mostly boated elf teams and farmed up bash teams like the_sage's lizards where he refuses to play against claw and spends most games against newer coaches with the intention to feed his sauras tds.


You get a good box team because you build a better kill stack. You get a good ranked team because you cherry pick

If you look at the difference between the ranked major winner necro and the box winner it becomes kinda obvious. The ranked winner has tackle on 6 players and only 1 player with pile on which is a chorf he won

https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=644035

Is the only major winner in box. By contrast he only has 2 tackle, one as a 4th skill on a wight, because let's face it there are only 3 good single skills for gs, access blitzers 2 or 3 pretty good, and the rest are diminishing returns. He only other tackle is the legend skill on a werewolf.

Big difference though is the ranked player built his wights as guard->tackle. The box player built pombers for both his wights and a claw pomb for one of his wolves.

So that shows how ranked is more concerned with tackle and guard to get 2 d blocks and knock down bloggers. Where as box is more concerned with attrition.

Other thing I think is cool is that the guy who won the only majors as undead cared most about tackle on his wights. Which also makes sense because necro wights support the wolves, but undead wights are the ones doing the hitting and they aren't used frequently enough as support for the mummies to justify guard before tackle or mb

>>47789011
Nope, fumbbl has no store, if you want block dice you'll have to check stores that sell fantasy football stuff, of which I don't know any so someone else will have to recommend you some

how do you beat khemri as cdorfs, they just shit all over my team

>>47789011

FUMBBL did a crowd funding thing for their own dice a year or so ago.

Your best bet is Impact! or comixininos

Which doesn't matter during the game.

Willy Mini's new stretch goal is morg and the meme saw. Would be pretty sweet if they hit it all then I would actually get the star players. Otherwise it is kinda eh to spend like $30 on their star players when we technically don't know what stars are in the new edition

>>47791319
Two rolls on the injury table matters quite a bit if they do get their armor broken

>>47792010
That's a misconception. It's two rolls on the CAS table, not the injury one. If you give them a CAS they were going out one way or the other.

Decay is a shit design.

He can't his TW is too high. You need a below 1200 TW and his is 1230.

>>47796345
I thought the 1200 was for TV not TW?
Also how is TW calculated?

>>47796401
TV if all your mng players weren't MNG. If Dom fired one gobbo he would be under the TW limit, but he didn't so his TV is 1190+40 for the MNG gobbo not included in the TV

How is dreadball?

I won the starter set, robot team and chick human team through various tourneys and comps.

Never looked into it much.

Do the team boxes come with all you need or do you have to buy booster packs?

Not sure if i want to keep them or sell them to get some money to blow on the impending blood bowl revamp.

>>47797687
I only have the starter set, no other teams, I've also only played ever 3 matches. The team boxes come with all you need to play.

As to how is dreadball, first 2 matches were kinda eh but I wasn't playing with all rules and we were still trying to get used to how to roll, but on my 3rd match in which we were playing with all the rules and the game was more smooth I was having quite a lot of fun, the pace is way faster than blood bowl and it has some interesting/fun ideas, they also tried to give each team a gimmick to make them all stand out.

On the other hand, I've read the game apparently ended up having horrible balance issues with newer teams. There's also Dreadball Xtreme of which I know nothing but apparently it's like an underground dreadball spinoff.

And most importantly, dreadball 2nd edition was announced recently so you'll want to consider that, details here https://manticblog.com/2016/06/10/dreadball-goes-close-season/

more like ded bowl

Should I go for the ogre ball or play it safe with snots?

>>47802179

Ogre ball is best ball

>>47802179
A str1 ball carrier is anything but safe.

>>47802179
Why are you even playing an ogre team if you're not gonna play Ogreball?

What about Deathball though
https://onepagerules.wordpress.com/portfolio/deathball/

What about age of slam?

I motion that as Logics has one the cup and crab is retreating this season, Logics should have the waifu

>inb4 crabs "no he has to beat me"
He can't if you are pussying out, so its clear he's won by default

>>47780066
Dwarves get the poorer statline in exchange for more skills. They already begin with all the skills bash play needs - Block, Tackle, and Dauntless and Frenzy on the Troll slayers. This means they load up on Guard far earlier and far easier, and Slayers can get Juggernaut very quickly.

Orcs often have to choose between Guard, Tackle, and MB on early level ups, and will still want Frenzy at some point.

Dwarves end up playing with a very different mindset to Orcs; they reward grouping your players into a tight fist and just punching through. Early access to Frenzy and Juggs mean that Dwarves can make some very unexpected breakthroughs with well-placed chain pushes.

>>47805076
He isn't playing Doomstar either. Just give it up Penis.

>>47798953
>>47799386
I feel Dreadball scratches a different itch entirely. It's faster paced and feels more like hockey or basketball. Blood Bowl has this slow grinding feel to it that can be exhausting but satisfying, whereas Dreadball is a lot "lighter", for lack of a better word.

>>47805156

No reason to play Doomstar if I can't win Abby back. Next season perhaps.

>>47805335
They weren't getting played anyways.

>>47805132
I don't know if frenzy is such a big "need" for orcs. I guess it is worth having one, but orcs don't really have the speed for the surfing and can take care of business on the pitch.

It's one of those things where the Black Orcs all need Block, Guard, MB and anything after that really doesn't matter if it is tackle, PO, Grab, or SF. Same kinda thing with the Blitzers. You want to get Guard MB on all of them because that is the best 2 skills they have access to. You want some tackle on the team anywhere and after that it's the whole do you take Frenzy, PO, SF, Strip ball, or more tackle thing

Like IMO frenzy is more important to orcs than premiere bash teams like chaos, nurgle, and undead. But orcs don't need it as much as Humans or Dark Elves do

>>47805076
You know they played a game for it right?

>>47806871
I think Frenzy is important for bash teams because you don't often have the speed to go around. When playing against another bash-centric team, often the best counter to your drive is just to pile everyone up and make a physical wall. Agility teams can get around this with leap, but bash teams need some way to punch a gap.

>>47802179

WHEN an ogre picks up the ball it is a horrid thing to deal with.

First skill should be break tackle unless you get doubles.

No you have a S5 ball carrier that can blitz and dodge INTO a tackle zone on a 2+ and easily throw a 2 dice block to smack the other player down, follow up and run it.

I once had an ogre team where all 6 ogres had break tackle. My main ball carrier had sure hands.

For max overtroll you can lob snotlings over the line. people will think nothing of it untill you 2+ dodge with an ogre, run up and hand off the ball to one who then runs it down as fast as he can.

Thread is dead. Pick a race and make one of these

>>47811295
Note* if you want to be even more of a min-maxing fag, start the team with 2 rerolls and an apo and then when you get leader on your runner drop a reroll. Dorfs don't do too many ag rolls so this makes your rerolls only cost 70K.

only 2 rerolls on my orc team, should I save for a reroll or buy an apo first?

>>47811934

Why do you only have 2 rerolls

Did you buy a troll

>>47813893

>>47811295

Brevity is not my strong suit.

>>47814287
With the rogre and nonchaos mino I would really be more interested in Juggs, Break Tackle, and Pile on than I am in guard/stand firm. And get claw on dubs over block.

Also Mino, Mummies, and TGs are the only big guys I'd give +st to. Because mummies and tg can use it for break tackle and mino can use it for horns. But I can see the argument for the rogre and snow troll

>>47814735

Rogre's got Prehensile Tail built in. Stand Firm helps make that not useless.

As far as block/claw is concerned, I admit I'm on the fence on the order of the two, but you really are taking him for injuries, and Block gives him more targets to safely go after.

>>47814811
well if you start with singles and take juggernaut, which is great for him, then block is mostly redundant. so i would say juggs claw
but if you rolls dubs first, yeah i would probably take block

>>47814287
not sure i would ever take sure hands on a gutter
personally i'm a fan of making every gutter bar a one-turner a sacker though, because your gameplan is pretty weak without one and gutters get blown up
i think the linebacker role is a bit of a luxury

nice guide in general though

Rolled 5 (1d6)

GFI

>>47816384

I figure it's an early deterrent to people in your enviroment taking Strip Ball themselves, and I am super leery of snaking pickup rolls. If it's going to happen I would prefer to not waste a reroll on it.

You could just as easily go Side Step first.

I don't know why you would do two one turners. They're such huge targets that you are going to be intentionally benching them until you need them.

Carrier, linebacker, and two sackers is probably the way to go unless you see a +MA early.

>>47818430
I'd only carry one non stat up one turner, but gutters should take all the +ma they can get. Gutters are st 2 av7 so it isn't like you can trust anyone on the team other than the storm vermin to live very long. Also the thrower comes with sure hands to counter strip ball

>>47819669

He comes with Sure Hands to give you a reason to not do all your ball handling with the Runners. Which a lot of people do anyways.

>>47814287
Where's the how to play human list? I'm still a rookie and any tips I can get would be great

First skill on a black orc is doubles, should i get dodge or ignore it and get block?

>>47820519
Probably just ignore it. Or diving tackle for FUN

Upcoming black cup game. My nurgle against wood elves.

I have 380k in inducements.

Should I get A:
Wizard
Max speen ripper
Bribe

Or B
Wizard
Merc beast
Bribe

Leaning toward A, but I have a clawbomp w/ tackle to blitz with and tents might be nice.

>>47820793
Sorry. B is not with bribe, but babe.

Make claw available to all teams.

Each time a player picks a skill, increase the cost of picking that skill for other players, as more players pick the same skill the skill cost increases.

There, high TV is now fixed

was also going to say, i might be tempted to go beast, bribe x2
wiz is less valuable vs ag4 teams as they can generally recover from any lightning bolt situations and you;re not likely to get them bunched up enough to make use of fireball
getting to foul the shit out of anything you knock down will be seriously effective though and stop them stalling

>>47821656
I'm not even that sad/mad about claw. Everything is bloated as fuck. Too much power.

>>47822258

>>47821561
1400 tv isn't high. a lot of teams won't even have many skills at that tv (like nurgle, who will still be looking for all their positionals)

what is it specifically you have a problem with, because 'too much power, too bloated' is just meaningless

How is mighty blow even nearly as good as guard?

>>47822773
I don't know.
How are two skills that do completely different things and are not ever comparable because "it depends" nearly as good as dodge though?

>>47822808
They are both strength skills. If you roll a doubles or play a st based team you have to chose which skill to take. Guard totally breaks the game and changes the dynamics of blocking. All MB does is give you a +1 on armor OR injury rolls and doesn't do shit unless you get a knock down.

>>47822860
Guard doesn't do shit if there's only one enemy standing next to the guarding piece. You can argue back and forth all day, man.

>>47822350
Those leagues exist and they are shit.


I'd still play in one.

>>47822773
Cause you have to be not terrible to get the most out of guard. You can still be shit and rock some MB.

was about to score and level up my runner and the guy concedes. just end my life

>>47825053
Does, Norse, rats, or darkies? It is better this way, runners a shit. That's 5spp on not a runner

>>47827400
dwarf runner

>>47827500
>doubles followed by doubles 100 posts later

And good that 5 spp is better on literally any other dorf player

Reminder to the the league, no matter what team you are running score with your blitzers whenever you can

Blitzers are all 6+(except dorfs)/3/3+(exept khemri)/8+(except norse, woodies, and zons) starting with block and with S access (except elves)
Blockers are all st 4 no block (except dorfs/chorfs)

Same as usual but now you can consider Break Tackle.

Loner should not exist.

>>47833857
thats why you play ogres.

looking for tips on how to display skills on miniatures.

so far i have elastic bands, magnetise part of the base and stack colored magnets on the base, dont base the miniature and paint the skills on the base or base the miniature and do different colored stripes on the bases side.

>>47833372
mb, guard, tackle or Frenzy, break tackle
Dodge on dubs. In that order

That way he can become your go to Blitzer and do some damage. Guard is the best S skill so gotta get that. Frenzy is great on St 4 but if you don't want it tackle is good too. And then break tackle works well with St4 but it's not worth getting over guard or mb

>>47834616
Maybe you could put some kind of card on the base. Like they have cards for baseball players. Just a tiny one ofc.

Stunty match today.

>>47835955
Dorfs.

Punch anything in range.
Move 1 square forward.
end turn.

>>47835955
Elf teams, blocking is actually pretty time consuming, but dodging the pieces you need to and moving the ball is faster than grinding.

>>47835955
Any bash team.
Roll block dice. Move free pieces to form or engage cage. End turn.
