1050 Dark elves + 5 skills

[ulvardar]

Well... first match with darkies (on tabletop)... 1050 and you can select 5 skills (no doubles)

Roster i'm thinking about:

Blitzer Tackle
Blitzer
Blitzer
Blitzer
Witch Block
Witch Wrestle
Assasin
Runner Leader
Lineman
Lineman
Lineman

1 RR

That's exactly 1050. Ok, too much AV 7, but i think 2 witches can be a really nasty surprise. Probably assasin won't do anything, but it's cool to have one in case i find some gobbo or ghoul near. And having 6 block players on the field.... well, if my oppo is worried trying to hit the assasin, i hope it will get distracted from main play a bit.

As you can see, there's a skill to put on yet. I have a lot of ideas for blitzers (dodge, kick, fend....). What do you recommend me?

I would not go for assassin. Low armour value and does nothing against high AV teams.

You got 1 RR. That is why I would go for 4 times dodge on your blitzers and wrestle on the witch elf.

The dodge keeps your men on their feet, it gives you movability without eating your one RR. Movbability is important. Otherwise every dodge you make could be the last of your turn.

Blodge makes good ball handlers and you can frenzy everybody in the crowd with your with elfs.

Well, i'm nearly sure about adding dodge to a blitzer, but if i have no other skill.... i mean, i need a tackle at least, i expect to have blodgers around and maybe my witches are not in range to attack them. And leader stays. So i suppose in the end it will be dodge on a blitzer.

Hi I recently played Darkies in a tournament and besides a really unlucky second day came on 4th place.

In my lineup I had 3 Blitzers, 2 Witches, 1 Runner 5 Linemen and 2 Re-rolls which sums up to 1050k.
Your skill choice is almost like mine.

Witches: Block or wrestle depends on play style, although I prefer wrestle on both, for opening gaps in the defence and getting block ball carriers down.
Runner: Leader, because with 3 Re-Rolls you got plenty of options.
Blitzers: Dodge is always a good option, but I would have at least one with leap for cage breaking and paranoia . Tackle is a valid option too, but one is enough as a safety, although the witches make good safeties too with wrestle.

DE's don't need leap to be paranoia inducing. They get that from universal AG4 imo.

My team would be: 3 Blitzers, 2 Witches, 1 Runner 5 Linemen and 2 Re-rolls

Blitzers all Dodge, Witches either Block or Wrestle (most likely wrestle). Leader would be nice, but its 1 skill to many.

Might even drop the runner for a line and bung 10k into Fans to hope to win more RRs during the game.
