Advice needed on two starting rosters.
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2004 1:08 pm
just hoping that someone can help me out really as I'm having touch of trouble picking starting line ups for my teams. Basically I'll be playing a league and I'll be using two teams.
The first are the necromantic team which I used in last years league, although i found it really difficult to play. i think I made some serious errors in my starting line up and there fore payed for it dearly later on. My best players was a Zombie with Black and Strip Ball, although I did have a Blodge ghoul as well. Oh and a Wight with dodge as well. Well it was my first season.
The second team I want to use is the Pro Elves for a bit of variety.
So on to the rosters.
Necromancer
After trying to figure out where i went wrong last season (1 FG, 1 WW, 2 G, 2 W rest zombies, FF8, 2 RR) I decided that I needed to get the more expensive position type players first and then fit in with some Wights later on once I'd generated a bit of cash.
2 Flesh Golems - I want these to stand on the LOS and bash things, hopefully a pari will work better than the one I had before.
1 Ghoul I wanted to use this fella to throw the ball to the Werewolves. i'd figured that using the ream re-rolls if he fluffed his pass would help here and with the wolves having catch I figured it'd be easier for me to score, as I had trouble scoring in my previous season.
2 Werewolves - hopefully these guys will be my scoring strike force. i only used one last time and he got mugged badly most games so I though two would be better as they'd be twice the threat. I hope.
1 Wight - To bolster the LOS by backing up the Golems and hopefully will turn him in to a blitzer to get at any threatening opposition players.
6 Zombies - Cannon Fodder on the LOS and in the wide zones. With AV8 they were pretty tough last time and I hope they can stand up to the same amount of punishment as before.
Fan factor 4 and 2 re-rolls.
Pro Elves
I like the models for these guys and remind me of the elf team I had when i was a kid, plus they're different form the other teams in my league.
This goes along the lines of.
2 blitzers - To get through the opposition line and cause a distraction and hopefully catch a pass or two to score.
2 Catchers - To get through the holes left by the blitzers or any spaces in the defence and run in some fast/easy touch downs.
1 Thrower - Avoid getting mangled and get the ball down field to any recieving player whcih makes it through alive.
6 Line Elves - Cannon fodder. hold the other guys up, get in the way, try not to die to often.
Fanfactor 5 and 2 re-rolls.
The other teams in my league are probably going to be chaos, orcs, lizardmen, a couple of human teams, skaven, and a HE team.
Anyway thanks in advance and any advice would be appreciated including specifics on how to use Werewolves, reading here they seem to be viewed a s real threat but mine just kept getting scragged.
Cheers.
