So I bought the plastic Ogre to expand my starter humans.

But there's no player card included. Am I just supposed to refer to the Death Zones roster? I thought it was nice that the team boxes came with player cards.

I got a doubles on my second werewolf(already has block)
Is it worth to take MB or another dub skill on him knowing I already have MB on my other werewolf or should I just rush blodge straight up?

>>52334561
I mean is more MB on a Claw player a bad thing?

You *could* get a Guard Wolf, as werewolves are favourites to tie up and tend to get into the thick of the action anyway with Frenzy, and more Guard never hurts.

Juggernaut is also nice on a Frenzy piece but is a bit more situational and requires some planning and forethought to make maximum use of.

Are dorfs an ok army to start with?
Im fucking in love with the models

>>52359828
Dorfs are the training wheels on rails

>>52359828

They're difficult to learn, hard to do poorly with, hard to do well with.

While your players are all very safe with their almost universal AV9 Block start, they're incredibly slow and have a difficult time playing the ball. You can't reasonably steal the ball unless playing against incompetents, so your goal is just to win 1 - 0, every match. That is your ideal game, shutting their offense out with your wall of unkillable beardies, and grinding down the field for the entire half on your own offense.

For a lot of people, that's dull to play as and to play against, so they're not a terribly popular team.

>>52360011
Or win 2-1

And dorfs are pretty popular with people who arent shitters. They are totally a top 5 NAF team

>>52360199
>dorfs are pretty popular with people who are shitters

fixed it for you

>>52360199

That scenario occurs only if you threaten the team with enough bodily harm, since you are too slow to put pressure on a team looking to stall out the half.

As I said, the ideal dwarf game is that you successfully defend against the score, and score once yourself. You are trying to avoid scoring twice because it forces your team to try and move faster than it safely can.

Unfortunately midseason you can only replace teams rather than removing one or two. In some ways I wish Christer would play about with the website-side League stuff that doesn't work too well instead of pratting about removing Wizards or whatever.

Hacking the dice in FUMBBL is so easy, I love making +Strength players there.

>start playing Khemri
>enjoy them
>but also get to know just how shit they are because of the weaknesses

Why are teans like Wood Elves and Lizardmen allowed to have OP lineups with almost no downsides?
And yet a cool concept like Khemri gets stuck with decay on their best players on top of armor 7 skeletons and agi 2 lineman and no claw access to deal with the heavy bash teams.

Just one more starting skill on the TGs would make the team much more forgiving. Even if it was thick skull or juggernaut.

One high level TG dies and the whole team stagnates.

Will probably go back to playing the boring teams but its a real shame.

>>52370979
What OP lineups are you speaking of for Asrai and Lizardfolk?

>>52370979
if every team was bad then there would be no good teams

>>52370979
Khemri used to be good, actually. All their Tomb Guards had an identical statline to Undead Mummies (i.e. they started with Mighty Blow), and their skeletons were cheap.

This made them the true "kill 'em all" team back in the day, much more so than Chaos - you had 4 S5 guys with no negatraits *and* Mighty Blow, plus a ton of cheap Skeleton linemen to foul them while they were stunned. And since you're so slow you're probably rolling up in a fouling deathball anyway (and once the TGs level up and get Guard you're always fouling with assists).

They got hit with the nerfstick really hard in LRB5+ and haven't really been the same since. My favourite suggestion to bring them back up into "useful roster" status would be to give all the TGs Grab as a starting skill - it reinforces their positioning heavy bash game in a way that's different from other bash teams.


As for Lizardmen and WE having OP lineups... you need to look at rosters in a League context rather than just a one-off game context. Lizards most brutal at low TV but drop off as other teams get Dauntless/Dodge/Block/Tackle. Skinks stay vulnerable throughout their miserable amphibian lives and a Lizard team that loses their Skinks will just not have the numbers to control the pitch. Wood Elves are very vulnerable to fouling and attrition, and like all elf teams constantly have to play with less than a full roster.

>>52371197
Wood Elves

- armor 7 die easily
- low on str besides treeman

+ agi 4
+ 2x fast blodgeleap super players from game 1 that can do pretty much anything
+ great elf positionals
+ a str 6 standfirm big guy because reasons

Makes a team that can score and sack the ball every two turns if you arent very careful. Have to pray for enough pows and injuries or you are fucked.

Lizards

- Agi 1 Saurus
- Skinks a bit vulnerable

+ 6 Str 4 players, and kroxi
+ Fast moving big guy with prehensile tail
+ Fast stunty skinks for bullshit plays even if you manage to survive the str onslaught

Makes a team that will always outmuscle you until you get some guard or claw. And you wont get to hit those skink td scorers unless the coach is a retard.

>>52372709
Better if there were more good teams than shit ones. I dont even want to nerf the above, just buff ones like khemri and vampires so there were more interesting choices at the competitive level.

>>52373979
Yea i heard they were much better at their role before, and that nerfstick makes me wonder why it was targeted at them and not Woodies or Lizards.

Its true, they can both be beaten, as any other race. But i picked them because low-mid tv is where most games are played outside perpetual leagues. And they are still relatively good at high tv... unless Lizards run into clawpomb.

>>52374067
Yea but in a League context Lizards usually have a tough time getting SPP on the Saurii and WE have trouble keeping players alive. They're definitely top tier teams nonetheless. Common ideas to tone down Lizards would be to make Saurii AV8; not really sure on changes for WE that wouldn't dramatically change the feel of the team (one common idea I've heard is giving Wardancers Wrodge instead of Blodge to start).

Guard doesn't let you assist fouls while in tackle zones, just blocks.

Has anyone else checked out the Blood Bowl section on the Warhammer Wargear website? Based on the shirt names and designs I think we at least know what the names of the team boxes are, and what the coins will look like.

I've gotten in to Blood Bowl relatively recently, just managed to win my Uni's BB2 league with Skaven, so I was going to try dorfs next for the biggest possible changeup. I know they're supposed to be a super hard team, so are there any particular tips I should be keeping in mind while playing them?

Thanks guys
Did a bot of looking around and found some good looking beginner lineups on BBtactics, so ill probably go with one of those

Do I go Guard or MB for first skill on a Dwarf Blitzer? I only have one Guard in my team for now.

>>52395304

You'll end up with plenty of Guard, but your Blitzers aren't bad for scoring so they don't necessarily rely on casualties for earning SPP.

They'll probably end up with both anyways, and MB will help them get to the second skill faster, so that might be the right choice.

This shit is so retarded. "Ooh, he's got a knife in his hand!"

As if other players with giant fucking blades attached to their forearms/fists are less dangerous. It's a mostly useless ability that just adds unnecessary rules and dice rolls.

Not a huge drawback, DESU.

>+ agi 4

As with all Elves.

>+ 2x fast blodgeleap super players from game 1 that can do pretty much anything

Having 2 Wardancers in your starting lineup also means having 8-9 Line Elves. Compare that to most other teams who can begin the game with an almost ideal lineup. Enjoy having your arm 7 WD fouled after leaping into a dangerous spot.

>+ great elf positionals

Who, again, are unaffordable to begin with, suffer casualties easily, and are difficult to replace.

Dark Elves and High Elves have arm8, move6 Linemen, which is arguably better. High Elf and Pro Elf catchers come with str3.

Dark Elves don't bother with passing, which IS a suboptimal tactic... guess who specializes in passing? (well, all the other Elves)

>+ a str 6 standfirm big guy because reasons

With a movement of 2 and take root.

>Lizards

>- Agi 1 Saurus

...who also begin with no skills

>- Skinks a bit vulnerable

Str2, stunty... "a bit vulnerable"

>+ 6 Str 4 players, and kroxi

This is good stuff, for sure. Khmeri players have no business bitching about other teams having too much strength, tho.

>+ Fast moving big guy with prehensile tail

Krox is nice. Krox also costs 140k.

>+ Fast stunty skinks for bullshit plays even if you manage to survive the str onslaught

...Skinks also have ag3 and start with no ball-playing skills.

It's almost as if you've had bad experiences playing against veteran Wood Elf and Lizardman players rather than there being an actual problem with their rules. Almost as if you haven't bothered playing these teams yourself.

Your team, which exists for the purpose of murdering other teams' players, is going to have some trouble with the actual gameplay aspects of the game ("bullshit plays").

Wow, teams aren't perfect. More news at 11. They're still some of the best tournament teams.

>>52399196
Thing is, 8-9 Line Elves IS the ideal for Woodies, you don't waste TV on passing skills and just make everyone into Blodge monsters or maybe some Wrestle.

Also who the fuck isn't getting a Krox? Best big guy in the game, only the Beast of Nurgle can compete with it. Also Khemri can bitch all they want about people having more strength because Decay is the biggest fuck you a player can be given.

>>52399178

Right, it's just pure griefing. It does nothing to benefit the Skaven player, and just makes playing the game less enjoyable for their opponent.

I'm saying this as someone who purchased the tabletop Skaven team. I doubt I'll ever use it.

Speaking of rats, what to take on Stormvermin now that PO is shit?

>>52399218
>>52399265

I'm not complaining that Wood Elves are underpowered, or that "teams aren't perfect" (idiot). I'm addressing the points raised. And SHOCKINGLY, many people who play Elves actually LIKE passing, even if it's not the ideal approach. A team full of blodgers, ignoring most of their roster, only making running td's is not why they signed up.

>Also who the fuck isn't getting a Krox?

Again, didn't say "don't take a krox."

As you're often using them to clear spaces for Gunners to bullshit through, being able to actually move a Block player out of the way when you blitz should be very useful.

If it makes you feel better, this isn't one of your shitty /v/ fanbois vs fanbois. Almost everyone here who plays fumbbl owns and plays BB2 on occasion. We are not putting down something we dont understand. Every time I load up BB2 I am reminded of all the ways fumbbl is better. Like objectively better.

Continue to fellate cyanide all you want, or do something constructive. Start a BB2 league(people would join), or go to /v/ and start a BB2 thread. Right now you are bitching to the wrong choir.

The whole blood bowl general came to be because I, Ph0enyx13, had watched the TGS league prior a bit and was somewhat interested. When BB2 came out yogscast Sips_ made some videos playing it. I decided to buy the game after seeing Sips_ play it cause it looked fun. I tried playing chaos because murder chaos. I lost a lot but was playing like 3-4 games per night every night after work. I tried to make a thread on /vg/ but it didn't work and then I found out this used to be a table top game so I made a thread on here.

And that was the history of the very first iteration of this blood bowl general

>>52415932
>not declaring pass/hand-off actions when activating pieces
This, coupled with the "you can't pass when standing next to a piece, this is automatically an handoff" is triggering me.

Ways to improve bloodbowl #768: Keep agility for dodging and introduce ball-handling attribute for anything to do with the ball.

>>52439564
Nope

>>52441212
Yep.
Agility swings too much in the current game and makes all the elf teams too similar.

Just look at strength, if you go from 4-5, 5-6, you still get on average only 2 dice unassisted. Strength is limited to a single action most turns.
You can even shut down any high str blitzer if he is down on agi.

Going from 3-4 or 4-5 agi is a huge leap for any player. It lets you dodge much more frequently, past tighter zones and lets you pick up, catch, throw the ball at much higher odds with each increment.

With a ball handling attribute, team variety is much better and elves can be differentiated with ball handling experts vs dodge experts.

It also stops 4+ agility stat freaks on bash teams from being too broken.

The difficulty in champs is that you will always run into the other guys who are going for perfect records. So even if theres some freebies, the top dudes can spin into you and ruin your day (unless you find a perfect timeslot when none of em are on).

If more top coaches come out of the woodwork now that prizes are decent, it will be even tougher.
