And how to play the one with the bombs, stabby-stab, mutations and rats!

next game in my league is lizardmen(me) wvs orcs

I'm really excited cause it seems like a pretty good match up for me

>>53665119

Do your Saurus have block yet?

If not you might not have as easy a time as you think. Their blitzers will make up for the extra 2 S4 players you have.

>>53665143

2 have block 2 skinks have side step. pretty early in the league thogh

>he tried to pick up the ball with an ag3
>laughingelves.jpg

>>53667303
What am I supposed to do, run my one player with Agility above 3 to the other side of the field in the hopes that the Lizards won't just saunter past my defenses and pick it up, so that I can have a slightly less awful chance of picking up a ball from the ground?

>>53665078
>take orc lineman
>detract 1 AV
>give a skill detrimental for linos
>augment their price
well done gw

>>53667123
picking up the ball is your last action
Don't stand norse linemen next to enemies if possible unless said opponent would be rolling -2d, let them come to you instead
Also, orcs are one of your most brutal matchups early on since all that av9 makes it difficult for you to remove key players with your safer block rolls
Captcha: clear city. You'll also die in a protracted brawl as av7 don't keep you safe for shit

>>53665078
Can someone smarter and more experienced then me comment on the noble humans? Guard block blitzers seem really good.

>>53667570
Typically I'm only standing my linemen against enemies when I want to knock them down/slam them with four people in the hope of an injury (never got one on any orc this way, of course). What should I be doing, hit-and-run tactics?

>>53667593
They're the only good thing about the roster, all the other players are way overpriced for what you get. Access to two ogres seems fun but you'll never be able to afford both.

>>53667355
Not play like shit

>>53667616
Oh, I'm so sorry for not buying two runners with my starting gold and having them on all four corners of the field at all times. Any basic bloodbowl player knows that, surely.

>>53667123

While the computer plays a little better as you crank it up to hard mode. the main thing that changes are the dice rolls for both you and the computer.

I have been playing the game for years on end so i set it on the hardest setting to start with.

i burnt through my 3 rerolls each turn the FIRST time i had to roll dice because it was Skull / Skull or a failed dodge or some other stupid shit. then the computer would turn around and throw 2 dice uphill blocks and get Pow / Pow for its first 3 blocks.

i have BB2 but playing online is just rage inducing. ill start to win so the guy im playing will eat up his clock every fucking turn. just sit there with his last guy to move and wait till there is only seconds left then move him.

>>53667657
guy you played against the Blood Bowl ai and you didn't win to be so incompetent is truly remarkable

>>53667685
I see, you don't actually understand the game or situation so you're just throwing out generalized insults to try and feel superior.

If you have nothing useful to offer, kindly fuck off, retard.

>>53667680
it was proven over and over again that the dice aren't fudged vs the ai.
Also the "strongest" ai is not the hard one it is the medium one.
The hard ai does not take any risky action at all

>>53667714
it is totally normal to only use halflings or snotlings vs the ai so that you have at least some challenge vs the ai.

>>53667716

I gave up after 20 games. I won most of them but it was still infuriating to sit there and burn my rerolls on skull / skull blocks 5 to 6 times a game and then turn around and have the AI roll pow / pow uphill blocks.

maybe all 20 of my games were that 1 in 1,000,000 combo. but fuck it.

Then on the flipside of that when i tried easy mode the AI would throw skull / skull and i could do just about anything i wanted.

>>53667594
ok sorry I was away a moment, Essentially, follow opponents if you knock them down, otherwise push them away from wherever your ball holder is if possible
Obviously, this is not possible for your frenzy pieces so be careful to support them, ulfwerner are best for this due to their higher strength
Basically the aim is to force your opponent to be only able to make 3 blocks or less against you per turn while maximising your own blocks as, in the case of orcs or similar, he'll probably base you
In this way, you'll wear down even quite tough teams usually

>>53667355

>slightly less awful

An ag4 is 4 times more likely to pick up the ball with a reroll than an ag3.

>>53668346
wrong, he is 4 times less likely to fuck up.

Finished painting my Ogre team.

Not sure about a team name, perhaps "Averland Avelanche" given the colours.

>>53665053
Even for Goblins thats extraordinary. What happened? Like, what was your roster?

Where were the trolls? Less it was a souped up chaos team.

wasn't there a BB2 /tg/ league once?

>>53669007

There was, but it died. Managing leagues is too hard for Crab.

>>53668654
>that huge ass blade

REF!!!!

Looking nicely done though. Averland Avalanche sounds cool. Be sure to bring the pain.

you can git gud by playing against the AI, you won't get as gud as playing against humans, but you can still learn fundamentals. It sounds like that anon is a complete scrub and still has much to learn, especially fundamentals.

Trolls did well for a while (think it was the only reason I made it to second half). Then here comes all the failed Really Stupid rolls.

Sometimes those dice kill you more than your own chainsaw.

Sorry to hear that. Ah well, least you can bounce back if you haven't retired. Gobbos are useful until death.

>>53672841
I'm pretty experienced with them (regularly play them on the tabletop).

Though after that thinking of doing Underworld. Pretty much any team where goblins aren't pushed out by better options, I like to play.

Oh nice! Good to see a fellow Gobbo coach. I haven't played TT in a bit bar last week after a couple of years due to no scene.

Though I only use the saw for my weapon, the other two have either suicided or decimate my own side one too many times, the bomber mainly the latter. Rather big bunch of green bodies than hoping and praying my fan or bomber actually work.

Still love them and can't wait for their addition to BB2. Even got the new Goblin box set and going to paint them next few days once I get my hands on the spray paint and brushes.

>Meanwhile the best result i get on a two dice block is both down

I'm sorry, did you say he was playing Humans, or Dominoes?

>>53676698
>only 4
2 is average 4 is really lucky especially with no mb and block skill.

>>53676886
Humans, and all those injuries were gained on both down

He also managed to kill one of my beastmen and in two boh down results injured another beastman and my minotaur

>>53677400
>taking the Minotaur

>>53677423
What can i say, I love minotaurs

>>53677476
Did you go the three Warrior and 1 mino build? Cause that's stupid hard to get off the ground at the start and takes a crazy amount of gold to get up to par.

100k for a Chaos Warrior,
50k for the Apothecary
120k for the Re-roll.

So until you get 310k gold, your roster is kind of on the backfoot.

In contrast the 4 Warrior build only needs 50k for a doctor and its sorted.

>>53678095
Yeah but i'm not really planning to skyrocket any leaderboard, I'm kinda shit at the game

I just wanted to see what fresh cahos teams could do

I just need to injure more faggots

>>53678202
Oh right. Honestly if you want to murder people at the start and be super safe, your best bet are Dwarfs. Tough, block on everyone, high armour. Also better at killing than Chaos at the start. Or if you are some sick masochist AND sadist, go Norse.

Most of us just want to play to have fun and not win leaderboards so, you're in the same boat.

>>53667593

take all blitzers and rest GA linemen and slaughter at higher TV.

>>53679876
Yeah, slaughter with your team of 6338s. About that.

-60% sale Blood Bowl 2 on Steam right now. Is it worth buying?

>>53684831

Buying it at that price, and the upgrade pack for Legendary Edition when it comes along, should come out to about 10 or 12 bucks off buying the complete Legendary Edition.

>>53684946

Or wait, I think I'm mistaken.

The legendary edition upgrade doesn't get you the existing dlc teams. Which are also on sale, but buying it that way means you save like, 5 bucks after buying the upgrade pack down the road.

Gameplay-wise, was there anything actually wrong with the first game?

>>53685542
pathing was even worse than in bb2, you had to select each tile manually if you didn't want to dodge through a bunch of tacklezones

Starting an Orc team soon, what do you guys think I should go with?

Option 1: All The Rerolls (Aka get those Black Orcs to get touchdowns)
4x Blitzer
2x Black Orc
2x Thrower
2x Lino
1x Goblin
4x Rerolls
1k on the dot

Options 2: Electric Boogaloo
Blitzer x4
Black Orc x3
Thrower x2
Lino x2
Rerolls x3
980k Total

>>53686099

The "ideal" roster is max blitzers, max black orcs, one thrower, the rest lineorcs, 3 rerolls.

The most important players on the team are the S access ones, so they're the ones you want to have all that you can at the same time, earning SPP from the very beginning.

And you definitely don't want to take a Goblin without a Troll. Orcs can do running fine without needing a Goblin to dodge past stuff, but the Throw Teammate option with the Troll can add something new to their offense. Something unreliable too, but it's there.

Playing low-value defense against Lizardmen is literally impossible. Stunty+Dodge means that 8MV starting skinks can just fucking waltz past any tackle zone and the only possible way you can get the ball out of their hands is to directly attack them - which, if they've got a cage and YOU don't universally have high agi/dodge, is not possible.

>>53686099
4 blitzers, 4 black orcs, 3 linemen. the thrower is actually trash being 5338, and he hogs touchdowns you'd rather feed to your blitzers. unless you really need the surehands (lots of wood elves), the thrower's garbage

>>53686363

A skink dodge will fail 1 of 9 times. A player who relies on them for his TD's is bad and will lose game because of it.

>>53686698
An 11% chance to fail is abyssal low, mate. Skinks walk straight though tackle zones to the end all the time.

>>53686793
position better

>>53686793
then position your defense against stunty and not against elves.

>>53686907
How the fuck are you supposed to make a skink go through an average of nine tackle zones a turn before you can slam tackle on your entire team?

>>53686996
if you're making him go for a stupid run play far from the endzone then it's probably early in the half and you're in position to win the game most likely

So for someone completely new to Blood Bowl... where do I start? I was thinking of picking up the computer version to learn but I've heard they're making a Legendary Edition or something with all the DLC so I guess I'll wait for that.

>>53687033
fumbbl is completely free with all the teams. https://fumbbl.com/

>>53686907
Nigga they are movement 8 with six beefy bastards clearing the patch for them. Positioning doesn't mean shit if you get pushed out of it constantly.

>>53686793
you don't need to fail two times in a row if he has to do more than 1 dodge.

1-(2/3)^n
on avarage you will roll one 1 or 2 in two rolls (55%) on 4 rolls the chance of rolling a one or two is (81%)

>>53687240
Sorry seven (SEVEN) if they have taken the Kroxigor! That's a lot of bulldozer style utility to deal with!

>>53687355
he is only allowed to do one blitz a turn.
Also if you allow every saurus to cluster up then of course you have a problem.
Divide and conquer them.

On a scale of violence, how brutal is a game that ends with a total of 6 injuries, 1 death, 1 expelled for fouling and 5 KOs compared to the average?

>>53680658

No and you can add or change one any time, FUMBBL places the team's logo on their half of the pitch, people just use this to make patterns based on the pitch lines like the ones you see.

>Is it deadlined?

If you're dodging more than once a turn with a skink, you're probably making a mistake, but bad play sometimes pays off.

Quite simply because I can't be bothered with FUMBBL to start with as a brand new player just doing it with friends... Think it's possible to play Bloodbowl on Roll20?

Way I see it you'd just need a pitch, some customised "character sheets" to serve as stat blocks and a custom dice roll for blocking dice.

Thoughts?

>>53706889

It's possible, but you're reinventing the wheel. Fumbbl is a decent client.

I've been playing BB2 against the AI for a while now, is the AI complete shit or is that just me?

Played a little bit of BB in the past but I'm pretty sure I'm bad at it, yet I never lose against the AI.

Also are Necromantic or Norse better? I've been playing those two so far and loving it.

>>53707404
Norse is excellent low-TV team with not the worst potential later on (but generally prone to exploding), Necro is one of the best teams all-around.

>>53707404
AI is pretty bad anon. I beat the story mode without losing a single time, they just don't bother attacking you at some point or even moving the carrier when he is in clear danger.

Norse are far more risk friendly. Everyone has block and you can actually risk -2d block uphill if you're feeling gutsy. On top of that, everyone has at least Mv6. Av7 though can make attrition an issue however.

Necro are more balanced but their zombies are terribly slow and can get pinned easily. Your positionals are your lifeline but what positionals you have are brilliant.

And here's round 1.

With us having so many teams, deadlines will be cut-offs now, no extra days. This round will run until 2359 FUMBBL time on Sunday 19th June, rounds will be always at least seven days but may have extra days to end on a Sunday so people have full weekends.

>>53711574
Just how old was your Chaos team anyway?

>not hiring Lord Borak as a buffer to protect your team.
>not 3d blitzing with minotaur only

Goddamn anon. I admire your persistence but at least go out of your way to protect your team!

Good luck with the new one.

>>53711671
Not very old, but i got very lucky with SPPs and almost all my players were already lvl 2

>>53711743
Just a heads up bro. If you're gonna use the mino, only attack for a blitz with 1 assist for 3d blocks. Its much safer. 2d blocks with Av8 big guy and loner is asking for roasted meat.

wolbum, why the fuck did you try to surf you madman?

>>53712617
I didn't try to surf anon? I was the gobbo.

Less you mean the Ogre coach, that was Azrael.

>>53712617
Because if you get the opportunity to surf and not take it then nuffle will fudge your future rolls.

>>53712617
>>53711879
On another note, just bloody thankful I went for a deep bench. Dat damage control.

>>53712696
oh sorry yes i was referring to the ogre coach, got it mixed up, well memed firend, good game.

>>53712733
Thanks anon. I know Gobbos are out to kill and all that but vs Ogres and most teams got to think of living first. Can't kill without living.

Think any reasonable person would complain if I painted some ogres in the same colors as my goblin team and just used the goblins as gnoblars? I mean, it's not like there are any other little greens in the ogre roster to confuse them with.

Reminder that fumbbl scheduler is a thing.

>>53713047
Shouldn't be an issue really. I mean, Goblins and gnoblars are similar, just Gnoblars are weedier. Would be a issue though if you had say Dwarfs. Go for it. Blood Bowl players are pretty laid back about the sort of thing. Though your "gnoblars" will look to be on steroids which is cool.

>>53713104
The fluff I've got going for them is that the goblin team is owned by a city prison. When the ogre wardens decided to join the fun too, the goblins wisely decided to leave the chainsaws and grenades off the pitch.

>>53713173
Sounds pretty good to me honestly. Have fun man, I'm pretty big on the fluff myself. Except mine is more of a case of circumstances where, they eventually found the Pogo stick, bomber and ball and chain far too dangerous to manage so got rid of them.

Except the chainsaw. Its just too fun and violent not to use that they're willing to take the risk.

And we finish the game out with a 1 - 1 tie.

>>53720599
A really good catcher/runner can get an enormous amount of SPP from catching, intercepting, and scoring touchdowns. That also practically guarantees that they get MVP.

Assume they average 1 interception and 2 touchdowns a match, for 12 SPP a match. That's 240 (!!!) SPP over 20 games. It's very, very possible.

>>53721026

>that practically guarantees they get MVP

?

>>53721026

>That also practically guarantees that they get MVP.

Not how it works, even with nuMVP.

>>53721026
>1 interception
>2 touchdowns
>every match
So you only played retards?

>>53721083
One league I played back in the early 2000s it was common for people to just let each other spam passes and touchdowns during the first half, then just try to get one point more in the second.

Was weird as shit. So I didn't care to win it I just focused on killing or crippling all their SPP bloated players.

The agility advantage doesn't mean anything when you're both slower and weaker.

I meant from start to say 1300-1400 TV. If I run into a Lizardman team online I pretty much try to damage control but there is only so much I can do of that.

>>53733359
That really depends what you're going for. I mean, do you want them to be bright and flashy like Empire or would you rather your own personal colour scheme?

For example, I love dark red for pauldrons and armour with light blue for the jackets and non heavy armour.

Its hard to give suggestions without knowing what you are aiming for.

I don't know if I should post in WIP or here : I just want an opinion on this stuff.
I bought an high elf team for my elf collection the other day and got to try the game yesterday. I kinda liked it so I decided to get my team done quickly. What do you guys think of the name/logo/feel, considering I'll probably give some players front horns and paint their uniforms pink

>>53736489
Looks good. I mean one of BB great strengths is you can practically do asnything within reason fluff wise or thematically and you are grand.

My only 2 cents is Pink. I think too much of anything could look a bit too overwhelming in terms of colour, especially pink. Have you considered mixing in other colours like blue, grey, maybe hints of metallic (arm bands or armour). Could be a good balance. Regardless it sound great.

>>53736489
Swap Gutcruncher for Nuffle.

What's a good starting roster for Necromantic?

>>53738017
1 wolf, 2 golems, 2 wights, 1 ghoul, 3 rerolls

or you can drop the ghoul and a reroll for an extra wolf

>>53738204
I ended up going 2 wolves, 2 wights, 2 ghouls and 3 rerolls.

Up against Skaven and so far I've injured 1 and KO'd 2 in 2 rounds.

>>53738311
I only use one ghoul, personally. It's rarely in base.

>>53738345
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the Ghoul but I really wanted the 3 rerolls. Looking back on it I could've dropped a Ghoul for a zombie and gotten a Golem asap. I can live with waiting a bit for one though.

>>53738442
I start with a golem both wolves and both wights. Then get a ghoul and I think 2 rerolls.

Anyone here excited for seeing extra shit about BB2 LE?

>>53739799
We kind of know whats coming out (which is great news) but I have 0 idea when its going to be shown on e3. I tried to find a schedule but couldnt see focus home interactive listed.

>>53739799
Pretty excited, mostly for being able to play Vampires.

Do we know how much it'll cost to upgrade from normal BB2?

>>53740098
Id assume we would be looking at the 20 to 40 euro price range as someone can get it alone for full retail price with every race and mode ready.

Upgrade may be 50% discount but i dont mind either way. Just want to cause havoc with ogres

>>53739799
Saw Underworld and Goblins will be in, so I pretty much have to get it.

So how is Bretonnia? I've been thinking of playing them but it seems kinda bland. Having so many people with Wrestle does seem useful though.

Playing Blood Bowl 2 PC, and Dark Elves and Dwarfs are bitch to face. I mean one can dodge anything, and the other never seems to go KO or injured and that fucking road-roller shit.

Any tips?

I never got the rivalry between some FUMBBL players and Cyanide. Its the exact same game and we all love Blood Bowl. FUMBBL was hyped to hell and back on BB1 release but honestly I found the coach skill not so different, at least when you go beyond beginner level. Lots more beginners in PC version though.

Blood Bowl is a sport about violent Hooliganism.
You arbitarily pick a team out of a stupid reason (mostly the place of your birth) and then you defend that team no matter of its actual achievements.

But anon. What if there is no team left to defend?

>>53743845
then you keep the memory of your team alive and remind everyone who dares to forget it.

I like your logic. Sadly I have lost so many Chaos teams to the ventures of time, I have forgotten them so. May they RIP.

>>53743945
Should have played better teams.

CHAOS IS STRONG!

Though honestly I just love their look, fluff and general gameplay. That Chaos armour is still among my favourite aesthetics in all of Sci-fi/fantasy
