help with a chaos temp team

khorneskulls · Post by **khorneskulls** » Tue Dec 10, 2002 3:08 pm

hello,
until i can buy some skaven, i want to use the chaos i have from fantasy to make a team just to play some games. this team is for fun games, NOT leage games:

8 beastmen
3 warriors
3 RR
1 FF

i cant use a BG yet cuz i dont have a model.( im alreddy using kroot for beastmen

)

for plays, i thought just get some one at or past the line and do a short pass to a blitz or something. it looks to me like chaos is a 'normal' team in the sence that its not great at anything, but ok at everything.

if im wrong, please tell me what u do with your chaos.

thanks

For one off games in a non star enviroment with Chaos I'd go for...

4 Chaos Warriors
7 Beastmen

2 Re-Rolls
4 Fan Factor

With star players allowed...

1 Lord Borak
2 Chaos Warriors
8 Beastmen

2 Re-Roll
3 Fan Factor

And in standard leagues, I'd go with...

1 Chaos Warrior
10 Beastmen

3 Re-Rolls
9 Fan Factor

I agree with Ithilkir on this one!

In one off games, fan factor isn't that important, but rerolls are.
In League matches, Fan factor is important.

I'd field as many chaos warrios as you can manage.

And, as ithilkir stated, if it's allowed, a Lord borak. Gives you a leader AND a dirty player, + st 5 player. That is one good Star Player.

From what I can tell, Star Players, timed turns, and Illegal Procedure are the most common unused rules in the game. My league uses all three, but I'd reccomend you season to taste, especially with newer players.

ppl dont use timed turns? that seems like it would be a good rule.

Timed turns are not cool....most players finish their turns within a reasonable amount of time.. but in some situations, you REALLY need to just sitback and think for a minute. I would not want to ruch a player's decision... let the best strategies (and luck of the roll) determine things. If a player does take took long, a swift kick in the rear will usually speed up the process.
A question for those of you who use timed turns: Does the coach need to call TIME-OUT to go to the restroom? If so, how many Time-outs does he get? LOL!!

good thought. that would suck having to do your lucky dice roll when u need to piss out your ears

We usually have timed turns (and unlimited number off time-outs). I think that adds more randomness to the game. You can "force" your opponent to mistakes by putting them in difficult positions. They then don´t have an unlimited amount of time to think out the absolutely best option.

couldnt u just look at the board, then just say i gotta piss, and just think it over in youre mind? or would that jsut be to much truble?

In our timed league, breaks are usually held off on until after a touchdown is scored or halftime. If you really have to go, then take your break after your own turn and cede the extra studying time to your opponent.
